Midoriya is the best case of a bad main character from little progression to annoying traits. While watching MHA I was more focused on those around Midoriya and episode after episode I started to hate Midoriya. I watch subbed anime, since it's the far more superior type, and quickly got frustrated with the voice actor to the point where I lowered all standards and watched the dub only to realize it is worse.

He is basically a Gary Stu character. When he tries to do something and fails all the characters helps him and don't worry they got the power of friendship on their side so nothing can go wrong. There is no feeling of progression, yes he gets stronger and learns something new but it always ends the same way.

BTW if a guy called DodgeOffset shows up in the comments ignore cause he will try to make you join his cult of lies and deceit.

I'm more interested in this guy called DodgeOffset than your argument about Deku being a bad character.

Nah, Deku is cool. Not as cool as Todoroki or All Might, but still cool.

Is someone with Kirito in favs even allowed to make such a thread ?

>he is a gary stu character
says the guy with fucking kirito in favs
ecks fucking dee

I don't think there's any point discussing main characters with you
midoriya might be bit annoying at times (his relationship wiht Bakugo) but he's miles above your copy paste isekai trash

He is Ok, but I prefer Todoroki or Bakugou. It's not Deku's fault he was born with no powers at all.

As others have pointed out, you're likely jealous that people actually like Midorya and point out the numerous flaws with Jesus-kun.

As someone who hasn't seen MHA yet, I am unbiased when I say thank you for your insight into it. However, the fanbase may disagree...

I think he is a very proper character for the kind he is, being born with no powers, being bullied, then accepted and trained under the wing of the best heroes there is with the responsibility to take it forward, he is a good character.

You could always look at it in a way that if the one saying it has Kirito in favs then the character they are critiquing must be pretty bad for them to notice it while not so for Kirito himself

Switcing between subs and dubs eh? They're quite different characters from what I've heard.

I think Midoriya is fine. He's simple but earnest, so it's kind of hard for me to really have much of an opinion, good or bad. I at least like how he tries really hard, but doesn't always win at the end, then tries to take those lessons to heart.

At least he tries. I geuss you haven't seen Mirai Nikki yet.
And you can just switch of the sound if it annoys you. Anime voices are always annoying.

He's not a bad character. But I have to say the role he plays in most major plot arcs (I like to call it 'Deku Ex Machina') has become repetitive and annoying to me, to the point I've decided to take a long pause from the manga as of Volume 15/16.



Stepped out from the darkness I contained in me.
Released myself form the shackles I helped create.

I've got the power of life in my hands,
and I intend to keep it.

My life has meaning after all.

Not saying that Deku is great or anything,but OP's points are ridiculous.

>doesn't like the voice actor
>calls him gary stu(which is far off)

He's trash compared to Ippo, Naruto, Kirito(had something likeable), Jotaro, and etc. I agree, he's the worst character in the series. Bakugo is my favorite and Todoroki is just edgy.
Yeah right there is no way a doujin about vomit exists.

YOU LITERALLY HAVE KIRITO AS YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER.

Furthermore, I don't even think you know the definition of Gary Stu characters. Gary Stu characters are perfect people with very few flaws and easily self-insertable, kinda like, I don't know--KIRITO FROM SWORD ART ONLINE.

Midoriya is not a perfect flawless guy. He's shy, has a history of self-deprecation thanks to Bakugou, but his drive to be a hero is strong. Midoriya is determined and capable, and is kind-hearted. Kindness is not a self-insert quality. Gary Stu characters are wish-fulfillment characters, and Midoriya is NOT a wish-fulfillment character.

Midooriya is a shit character. He should've died instead of receiving a power.

Considering the fact that you actually think Kirito has anything likeable, Ashita no Joe is disappointing, and that Todoroki is edgy when Bakugou is the one telling everyone to "die", tells me you think in opposites. Or your taste is actually that bad. If Deku is a shit character, then Kirito should have been aborted after the first episode. Your profile isn't helping your case either.
