[@francescocappelli9071]

Yes Eagle White. Kenshiro and Splinter Happy of izuko

[@pinkraven7043]

The great thing about Deku is that this is him at his absolute lowest (putting too much responsibility on himself, always on high alert, feeling guilty about what happened in the battle with Shigaraki, seeing himself as a danger to his loved ones, etc.). BUT he still continues to be a kind person. His sense of heroism never falters and it’s a part of him that he never loses.

[@insanemindset2667]

I think that honestly makes him one of the true heroes of this day and age. So many heroes, well-written or not, end up becoming evil because they were pushed over the edge. But Deku here is constantly being pushed to the bring of mental breakdown and possible insanity and he still manages to be a hero, and I think that's one of the most admirable things about him.

[@sagemaster1357]

​@@insanemindset2667 He's similar to Tanjiro who still has kindnesses and compassion for demons even though they were responsible for his families death.

I like how gentle Deku sounds. He’s got All Might’s power, but he’s a very different kind of hero; the one his times needs.

[@matthewlafee5165]

This reminds me of Spider-Man and I know he was inspired by Spider-Man with deku but it’s the gentler side to there being a hero trying to make people smile that really make me live these characters

[@StephenMartin-d4e]

True, all nights the type to yank you away from your troubles , While deku is the type to be in it with you and try to motivate you to get back up

[@mm123gchannel9]

Yeah, the difference between the two is that All Might shows his kindness through his friendly and courageous looking demeanor, often smiling in the face of danger in a, “what you see is what you get”, kind of presence. While Deku shows his kindness in more of an individual level, where he ether encourages the people he wants to help or talks about how much he’s willing to sacrifice his life for them, always saying these things in such a serious tone in a, “you mean the world to me, I will do everything in my power to save you”, kind of way.

I feel like the mutant quirk racism wasn’t established as well as it could’ve been earlier in the series. If it was then maybe the scene would’ve worked better.

[@kingcamelot1395]

​@MereImitation Another way to look at this is that it was always there, but only now coming to light. Since it was peace time before, people kept those thoughts to themselves, only revealing their negatives views in private.

FACTS

[@impuristic]

This isn't edgy, far the opposite. He is sacrificing himself in a way because the world was launched into Chaos because of shigaraki. And if he's a target, he won't be allowed to do anything. But since the duty of the next OFA, he has to do the right thing, and that was to save everyone he could. It isn't edgy, it's selflessness.

[@xvi7307]

[@The_Jantof]

So many characters, when going through their “dark” arc, lose sight of who they are. They get a hard edge, they start crossing lines they shouldn’t, etc. But Vigilante Deku is the exact culmination of everything he already was. It’s proving true his very conception of being a hero. His only fault is that he’s not taking care of himself, and even that is also who he’s always been. Of course the guy who would sacrifice his limbs early on would also sacrifice his mental and emotional health. And just like with his limbs, in the moment he’s probably correct to make the sacrifice, but it isn’t sustainable long term.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Horikoshi gets that citizens putting the law into their own hands, becoming vigilantes, isn't always a good idea. For example, some will start attacking someone based on their own personal biases. I can also see the Horikoshi is a huge Marvel fan. Getting all X-Men up in here...
