No he isn't. Deku gets way too much hate, if Mirio was the protagonist the anime would be much worse. Characters like that or Bakugo work only well as side characters.

But I agree that Deku needs more character focus, the mangaka seems to not really care right now about him.

My main problem is everyone that has met Deku always said something like "I will believe in you", "That kid definitely can do it!", "You're going to become amazing hero" like OK but you just met him you didn't even talk to him that much, why are you trusting him so easily? Mirio, Endeavor, and Gentle Criminal is 100% more interesting.

Though Deku obviously has his problems, I think he's the least of the show's worries in terms of problems.

I have some issues with pacing, world-building, Character depth/motivation, consistency and last but not least, the bundle of characters introduced constantly, only to then either:

Never be seen again or become reoccurring enough that other main characters get push to the back

The problem with the show is there's no character development for majority of the characters, and the villains suck and have no depth.

I was fine with Deku crying ass the first 2 seasons, then he started getting on my nerves in season 3 and almost made me drop season 4 because of how whiny and pussy he still is. Bakugo screaming ass is fuckin annoying too. Like we get it you been screaming since 2016, it's not funny anymore try different jokes.

Deku and all of the other characters are the problem for me with this anime. I personally don't find a single one of them likeable; the only reason why I'll eventually force myself to finish season 4 is because all of siblings watch it (they are the reason I continued watching it after season 1).

The entire cast are the problem for me; I personally don't find a single character from the anime likable. This combined with the ever worsing plot, as displayed in season 4 (which I will eventually have to force myself to finish as a lot of my friends will be watching season 5), means that the anime sadly most likely peaked as a 7 for me in Season 3.

Deku is just too successful
He should lose a friend or two.I really started to hate the show when he managed to stop Gentle AND Gentle just admitted and was taken in as a prisoner, that arc had so much potential and they just turned it into a medicore one

Main problem with BNHA for me was the fact that I actually liked the plot from a bunch of BNHA doujins way more then the one from the original series.

But there is one think I liked about the series - Kirishima. The most perfect example of deredere you can find in anime.

Yeah... I dont hate him but its kinda hard to root for him or at least anime is doing a bad job making me do it.

He is soft, awkward, anxious, hesitant but throws big words like "saving everyone" or "become greatest hero" etc. Even when he does something cool I always have the thought in the back of my head that he just gets carried by his OP quirk. Kinda feels like in a way it doesnt suit him to be this strong.



I saw only one episode dedicated to Kirishima and only one dedicated to Mirio and I already grew to like them more than Deku. Isnt this telling something?


..... hmm well lets see, he didnt have a quirk for the better part of his whole life and got picked on

You call this dude soft ?? The man that has had numerous broken bones but continued to get back up?? He fought even when the muscles were barely hanging on the bone. Its obvious you just follow what everyone else says. Right he got carried by his quirk but has unlocked 45% of OFA. Mirio really ?? Yall really hyped him up for nothing. He was nothing special too me. Why would I want too see Deku come from the bottom to the top when i can see Mirio and his numerous catch phrases.

Yes because they should've show that Deku is suitable for the number 1 hero by his action not the other people talking about how amazing he is. And btw you said that Mirio is nothing special? He is literally the embodiment of heroes, He sacrifice his own quirk that could have save a ton of people in the future just to save a Little Girl.

And Deku was ready to give up his quirk without a second thought to Mirio because he wanted to help him , even though he would go back to being quirkless. It takes a certain type of man to do that, nobody else would have done that not even Mirio

uhh you do realize that Mirio is pretty much a prodigy right ??? Gifted from a young age, Deku had it hard from the beginning. He was quirkless he was willingly going to give up his quirk. Its not the same when you would come from nothing and would go back to nothing. Those are two different situations and you know it. Mirio still is able to hang around U.A even without his quirk he is still damn strong , Izuku would have to leave. Return to getting bullied , and even moreso now humiliated and shamed.

I do agree with you, till this day i dont know what people saw in this anime, the first 2 seasons were good, after all might fight against AFO the anime became average, boring and Deku just cant carry or be a good MC he is the perfect definition of crybaby he keeps telling to himself he wont cry anymore and after 2-3min his crying again...its always the same boring thing why the fuck the mangaka just does a time skip of 2y and be done with this shit i wanna see them grown up, i dont wanna see 500 episodes of them going to school and learning the same shit all the time.

(This is just my opinion and I don't mind if people like Midoriya)
He has many flaws that could be used as character development to push on the series, such as his anxiety and his habit to overthink. Yet they're kinda shut down as the series progresses. The majority of the side characters are more interesting than him which is kinda concerning. However he still has obstacles he overcomes occasionally, I just wish they were used more.


However, he isn't the main thing holding back MHA, their many reasons why and Midoriya is just one of many.

I think this anime is a good shounen, but the hate it gets is not justified when all your/our favorite shounen have the same issues if not worse lmfao..


I see this as a general trend in animedom, especially on MAL. Good anime like MHA, OPM season 2, the new Ghost in the Shell, Dororo, Kami no Kou are being hated on, while relatively okay or bad anime get a free pass and high praise. I think tastes and expectations of people have changed a bit.
To make matters worse (on MAL), we can't tell what the overall community thinks from the ratings of the reviews since they removed the excellent but flawed 'agree/disagree' system. There's no way to factor in people who don't agree with the views of the crappy reviews on top on anime pages anymore, and little chance for new reviews to rise to the top after some time has passed.

Just like how HeroAca borrowed a lot of ideas from Naruto, Deku is now facing the same problem as Naruto.

Deku's character arc has already ended by the end of season 3 just like how Naruto's character arc has ended after Pain.

.


That does not sound accurate to me. Yes, Naruto 'matured' at the conclusion of he Pain arc, but his character exposition did not end there.
But more than that, Deku is a completely different character than Naruto. In terms of personality I would say he is almost the opposite. He's more tactical than head on, overthinks things, is shy and introverted. Naruto was hot headed, head on, extroverted (even though he had some trouble having friends early on).
Also, Deku's older version is narrating the story and he sounds different (not just the voice), so I'm assuming Deku has some way to go to mature as a person and as a hero. He's still second guessing himself, falling to doubt, etc.
I like him because I feel like his flaws do feel real...its just that when he's under pressure he comes out most of the times when he doesn't have time to overthink.

Let's be honest
It's not a good shounen if the protagonist doesn't suffer every once in a while
(Yes I'm referring to the fact that Gentle Criminal lost against Deku and everything went happy-happy.Gentle Criminal deserved to win)

None of the characters are good in this show. Bakugo is my favorite, but I wouldn’t exactly call him one of the best written characters, though I do enjoy his attitude. He is basically just a mini Vegeta. The characters that are hurt the most in this series are the females. Just like in Naruto, the females pale in comparison to their male counterparts.

you forgot the part where the nerd NEVER uses his brain. his thinking bs is only used as "haha he's creepy" kind of humor.
every goddamn fight he's ever in, he wins with suddenly feeling more righteous than the villain and using his ultimate godlike flawless superpower to punch the enemy.
he's not a real nerd or a creep or whatever the show is trying to paint him as. he's just scared until he loses it and lashes out.

remember when the oneshot manga had deku as a powerless inventor who sells tech to heroes to help them out because he admires them? (and probably making his sick power armor at home from the cash he gets)
the editors at jump said that's boring and won't sell. because batman and iron man aren't the biggest goddam names in comics lately, are they? yeah...
there was a concept of deku having an emo haircut which would perfectly match his """""creepy""""" behavior. he had birdman's stand.
it still wasn't good enough, they had to make it a generic school>tournament>rescue>repeat typical shonen title with the mc having an unbeatable power. so they tried to build a story from these scraps, making deku a walking paradox. it doesn't work, and he gets outshined by everyone else with any sort of character trait aside from "his emotions range from crying to crying"

I like My Hero and I don't think Deku is the problem. The problem is this formula:

- Big arc introduces big villain
- Whole school always gets involved
- Some important person is injured and there's no hope left
- Deku comes in to save the day with a new powerup learned in the last training arc
- Villain is defeated, never to be seen again
- Woo party, now let's train again to defeat the next villain with a new technique
- Repeat

Wasn't that every single season? It's annoying how every time the school or hero department get involved like... can we have an arc that only involves a small amount of characters? And also the big villain is always thrown away and nothing else changes with society. Stain should have made society change, and the show claimed that he did, but at the most part nothing happened.

Training arc is a big problem too. It's mandatory to have a training arc after every single big arc. We don't need that every time.

Shigaraki is another problem. He's a bit bland. Other villains are much more interesting. I find Dabi and Toga more interesting than Shigaraki.

These problems are more prominent than Deku. Deku is your typical shounen protagonist, sure, but he surely isn't the main problem.

Let me edit it for you.
Generic school>tournament>rescue>TRAINING ARC>repeat

Every single time the mandatory training arc happens. OH my god. Horikoshi could make training arc a bit more interesting but he doesn't. It's almost always either at school or someone else guiding Deku. Let Deku come up with a new technique by himself. It's so boring because training arcs are so predictable.

This fact saddens me, more about Uraraka. She was such a good character in the beginning, especially during the sports festival arc where she fought against Bakugo. To me right now she's just bland. People even say she's just a love interest and nothing more. It makes me sad she's just reduced to a generic side female character.

Hagakure is also another character I really would have liked to get the spotlight. I feel like her invisibility quirk would get used in all kinds of settings. I wouldn't even mind if she turned out to be evil due to her invisibility quirk. Think of all the things you could do with invisibility. Right now she's a bland, happy-go-lucky classmate.

Yeah Deku is pretty trash. His personality is too bland. I think BNHA would be cooler with a slightly grittier tone. For instance, if Deku was actually serious about his powers, and had actual drive to become a hero other than 'wow superhero so cool'. At this point it just feels like he inherited OP powers because he was reckless and nothing else, which is kind of a major character flaw.

This is clearly an oversimplification, but as the saying goes, "don't go to McDonald's looking for a steak."

Most people are watching this series for the same reason they watch other Shonen series, to see some kick ass battle scenes with massive displays of power, and generally speaking, hoping the good guys win.

If you're looking for super deep character development and plot twists, there are much better genres to explore.

Mirio was infinitely more interesting.

I have a horrific time getting invested in basic generic anime shows where the main character is a net negative in comparison to every other character in the show because the supporting cast constantly props up the generic hero as if he was the second reincarnation of Jesus.

He's a good kid, he's smart and he works hard. Don't get me wrong.

But he's also far too timid, mentally fragile, has low self-esteem, yet it is not explored enough to be shown as a detriment so that he looks like a more well rounded and organic character.

My biggest pet peeve is when a character's "flaws" are never shown as a true flaw in the purpose of the narrative.

Deku could have easily been in a situation where he freezes up due to "analysis paralysis" and suffers a major loss. We know he's prone to overthinking but that NEVER happens.
'
We know that he is capable of injuring himself far too severely due to his martyr complex. He should have suffered a horrific injury that changed the trajectory of his career....forever.

But that NEVER happens.

I could go on.

I hate it when main characters aren't called out for their BS. Look at all the better examples....

Gon, Edward Elric, hell even GOKU gets called out for his BS. When a main character doesn't get absolved of their flaws by virtue of the fact that they're a main character, then the supporting cast looks as dynamic and organic as the main character himself.

But in BNHA, it just doesn't happen. Deku is bland, and every character that supports him by virtue gets shown as bland as well because their praise has ZERO basis.

Deku is why I can not invest in this show.

I...can see why you say that. I loved Deku the minute he was introduced. He's an adorable boy who I find to be so admirable because of his determination to be a hero. I can relate to his struggle and I love seeing him get a step closer to achieving his dream...and yet I can understand where you are coming from.

There are a lot of characters more interesting than Deku. I will admit that. Compared to them, Deku just seems like an average shounen anime protagonist. But Deku is NOT a problem. And, if he is, he's not that big of a problem. I mean...at least he has flaws. He's not exactly the blandest character ever. And I'm aware that you didn't say that...BUT his personality and the depth to which it was explored isn't much of an issue.

If anything, the biggest issue with MHA in the beginning was Shigaraki who, in all honesty, pales in comparison to Stain. From the moment he was introduced Stain had a reason for doing what he did. Shigaraki on the other hand didn't really have a reason. And he wasn't all that interesting either aside from his appearance.

Later, other villains are introduced. Shigaraki seems to have found himself and he now seems less...meh. But then you have Toga, a character who has very little to her. She's obsessed with blood and is extremely loony. That's pretty much it. I'm not up to date but, come on, this isn't complexity.

So, out of all the issues that MHA could possibly have (such as being easy to lump in with other shounen anime, being somewhat predictable, etc)...Deku is not one the major ones.

And as far as consequences...lots of anime do that. Matter of fact lots of shows and movies in general do that. They tend to protect their main characters. Deku has been in serious danger several times and he has been seriously injured. His dream of being a hero was on the line and even his life was at times. Just because it didn't happen before doesn't make the consequences any less "real". Sometimes, the bad things just happen sooner or later than we expect them. That's just how it is.
I completely agree

Deku is a problem but i wouldn't say like the main issue... I think he could be trained better or had been a bit more prepared for it all - i mean he was a quirkless boy with no hope, to the descendent of the greatest hero of all time - talk about pressure?

285 chapter kinda got me in the feels - I drew a fanart of Deku and Bakugou :( It was so sad

I'd like BNHA to have more balls... like kill some classmates/heroes, give the characters traumatic experiences so their personalities change. I don't feel the character development at all, maybe with the exception of Bakugou.

This did happen in his fight against muscular. Recovery (or some other doctor I don't remember) told him another 1 or 2 more injuries like that and he would never use his arms again. That's why he started using his legs.

Later, other villains are introduced. Shigaraki seems to have found himself and he now seems less...meh. But then you have Toga, a character who has very little to her. She's obsessed with blood and is extremely loony. That's pretty much it. I'm not up to date but, come on, this isn't complexity.

So, out of all the issues that MHA could possibly have (such as being easy to lump in with other shounen anime, being somewhat predictable, etc)...Deku is not one the major ones.

And as far as consequences...lots of anime do that. Matter of fact lots of shows and movies in general do that. They tend to protect their main characters. Deku has been in serious danger several times and he has been seriously injured. His dream of being a hero was on the line and even his life was at times. Just because it didn't happen before doesn't make the consequences any less "real". Sometimes, the bad things just happen sooner or later than we expect them. That's just how it is.


I agree with you :)

Deku is not the problem, villain is. When All for One got defeated and All Might retired, BNHA went south. Overhaul was cool but it wouldve been better if Mirio is the one defeated him not Deku.

I hope they introduce new interesting villain, not like Gentle Criminal or a Nomu lmao.

The problem is Class 1-A as a whole. When you start an anime with 20 kids with little to no personal issues, not only their development will look bad, but you also have too many characters to give the spotlight to everyone. I feel like if Horikoshi was asked to remake MHA, he would probably have a totally different approach.

Also, the way he made up for how boring his main cast is is also a bad idea, not the worst one but bad. By making the world around his characters so much better than the characters themselves, he only made them look more boring in contrast, and I doubt all his attempts to make class 1-A better will work as well as what he managed to do with Bakugo or Kirishima.

IMO, the show just went down hill once All Might retired. The 3 arcs adapted in the anime after that were ranging from average to outright bad. Let's see what will happen in the 5th season.

He honestly isn't, the main problems are the villains and most of the side characters.
