If you hate Deku you are DUMB...

[@thegoldenapplebryanwu6816]

People that use the "He's a crybaby!" or "Took him three seasons to know his legs exist!" excuses haven't watched the show or used their brains to think. There's a reason he cries, and he stopped constantly crying after or midway season 2. Also, the reason why it took him till season 3 to figure out shoot style is due to his admiration for All Might. He's blinded by All Might's constant use of his arms that he didn't decide to think out the box. I respect those who dislike Deku for good or understandable reasons, but those that hate for the sake of hating or hate for the wrong reasons are just stupid.

[@HiddenSH_]

I'm so glad you understand! That's the exact reason I made this video, if people dislike Deku for a valid reason I can understand that, but if people say that "He's a crybaby" or "he shouldn't have got powers" as a reason to hate on him, I think are completely missing the point of the show...

[@nanaakuaamoako2352]

There’s also another point for the legs thing. Imagine if Pre- Full Cowl Deku was in a fight and he used his legs, his legs would break and he wouldn’t be able to run, walk or retreat. Isn’t the whole point of Full Cowl is to make sure Deku’s limbs won’t break?

[@HiddenSH_]

@@nanaakuaamoako2352 Exactly that's the whole point of full cowl, to limit his power so he doesnt break his bones all the time

[@thegoldenapplebryanwu6816]

@@nanaakuaamoako2352 That is true, so him still having the mentality of: "I can't be broken and have to be saved." is what also shackled him. What's more is his permament injuries during the training camp, causing the punch-blinded Izuku to be further restricted of his view. Though it's blessing and a curse, since it's because of those injuries that he could figure that out fully.

[@SonicFanBoy138]

Also, Deku used his legs to break Spinner's sword after his fight with Muscular. So that proves he just uses his legs as a last resort if his arms are both broken.

[@isabelladerrico1239]

i will never understand how can people find deku annoying or weak just because he has emotions. There are definitely crybaby characters that are annoying, but deku is not one of them. His cries are never loud, exaggerated (aside when is a gag scene but it's a gag so it's fine) or for no reason. He always cries at the right time and for good reasons, making the scenes more emotional and impactful. If there is a crybaby character that is annoying in mha that's mineta. Deku is an amazing mc and his emotions make him so relatable and human

[@DD-vu1jy]

Yap session I don hate deku bc he was a crybaby (if anything that gave him character). What I am mad at is how deku (in terms of how i seen other characters) was slowly becoming less of a character and more of a macguffin (especially in Act 3). It didn’t help with the fact that his character was barely properly explored. Like we could’ve gotten a story abt deku’s father, about him being a villain that only deku can stop, and how he would feel. It would be cool if deku was [purposely] out of character for that moment. He doesn’t even get to be fully involved with bakugou’s storyline, even though he plays as big of a role as bakugou did, especially with how things about the world become unnecessary. Like, did I need to know about how other nations are doing when we didn’t even get a plot point on quirkless ppl, or even a proper mention of the vestiges throughout over 150 chapters. All of this (and so much more) pile up and become increasingly irritating when you realize bro doesn’t even overcome his trauma naturally. Someone who has been bullied for TEN FUCKING YEARS would likely have [idk] a ton of fking trauma.

[@HiddenSH_]

I think you raise some pretty good points however I think a lot of what you said is covered in the show. I think Deku was super developed they just didn't explain it, you had to look for it. Vigilante Deku is the toxic side of his heroism, need to save people and the pressure of being the next in line for OFA, and the way they develop and make him learn from this with his friends is amazing. I think the point about his father would have been a bit cliche, everyone was theorising smth like OMG AFO might be his dad or smth but can't it just be the case that he is the child of a single mom and father who left him, and maybe that even plays a part of why he looks up to All Might so much especially as a kid. He played a huge part in Bakugo's story to the point his whole mindset and outlook changed on life and people because of who deku is and what he overcame. Throughout the whole show its mentioned many times that people without quirks typically have a tougher life or even resent people with quirks and a form of racism because of that. How are you supposed to overcome your trauma of bullying naturally if not making up with the person who bullyed you and forgiving him?

[@user.edafjk]

I like deku’s spirit but I used to hate how pathetic he was in the first season , he didn’t train at all up until the 10 months of ua entrance exam , the writer didn’t specify why , I mean it would make sense if bakugo didn’t let him train and was seeking after him or that his mother was too worried about him but him not training at all ? Without a clear reason? That what I didn’t like , I mean if u really want to be a hero , u have to not only train ur mind but ur body too but his determination and spirit is truly aspiring even for us in the real world and his glow up from someone who can’t fight 4 year old with a quirk to someone who can defeat prime all might with low-mid difficulty is something

I understand where you are coming from but I think that's a lot to put on a boy younger then 10 years to be training his body after his dreams of being a hero were pretty much destroyed because he doesn't have a quirk like almost everyone else, but I'm glad you still like Deku and the person he became!

[@yd_things]

I always thought it as a memes that people genuinely think real

[@HiddenSH_]

Nah especially at the start of the show people would call him a crybaby all the time LMAO

[@Alex_Lennyboo-n1v]

I saw one guy saying that he hated Izuku because he was basic, different a different hair colour (like HALF THE CAST DOESN'T EXIST), wanting to be a good person, having the will to save, wanting to be like a hero or a figure he stands up to. He reasoned that because Izuku was basic as hell he wasn't interesting, which was also why he didn't really like Tanjiro. They also said that because he had no HUMAN reason to be like he is he was a bad character. AND that bc he didn't even seem interesting in the "I am this but this too" way that he was uninteresting and a bad MC. He then listed Bakugo and Shoto and said the most basic excuses as to why they were more interesting. Shoto: "My dad is the number two hero but I hate him" Bakugo: "I want to be a hero but I act like a villain." THOSE ARE SUCH COP-OUT REASONS! CONVINCE ME NOT! He also said that Izuku's only growth was figuring out he can kick instead of just punch (get ready for that rant) Okay, number 1: DO YOU WANT AN ASSHOLE BEING THE MC!?!? LIKE, COME ON! YOU THINK THAT BECAUSE HES NICE AND IS GOOD-WILLED THAT MAKES HIM BASIC! YOU WANT SOMEONE LIKE MINETA BEING THE MC!?!?!? GET REAL AND GROW UP! I saw this happen with another game, there was a huge issue with a game that came out about 2 years ago (I think and the name I don't remember) but every person was mad because the MC was a female who looked like your everyday female on the street. She didn't look any different or super cool, she looked like a mixed, female-passing, regular woman on the streets. EVERY (supposed) MALE WAS UPSET ABOUT IT AND I HATE THAT IT APPLIES TO THIS SITUATION! HE IS A GOOD PERSON, HE HAS A KIND HEART, HE HAS A GOAL TO SET AND A REASON TO ACHIEVE IT! Number 2: He has different hair and a good heart and soul, SO WHAT!?!? HE HAS TO BE A DEMI-GOD NOW!? WHEN THAT BECOMES NORMAL YOU WOULD HAVE SAID "Oh BuT hE's LiKe EvErYoNe ElSe."! ITS AN ENDLESS CYCLE! SHE EVEN SAID THAT MHA GOT HIM INTO ANIME SO DEKU MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING RIGHT! Number 3: He has a very human reason. This g00ner listed off a few characters that were such cop-outs, it's fxqing painful to even remember them. He said that Hinata (Haikaiyuu) wanted to beat Kageyama, Naruto wanted to be Hokage and didn't want to be alone, and a few others that were so stupid I'm glad I don't remember them. THOSE ARE BASIC ASS PREMISES IN ANY SHOW OR MOVIE! JUST LOOK THROUGH ANY SHONEN OR SPORTS ANIME AND LOOK AT THEIR PREMISES! YOU LIKE NARUTO AND HINATA BUT THEIR DRIVES ARE EXACTLY LIKE IZUKU'S JUST SIMPLIFIED! COME ON! Number 4: "I am this but this too" I am quirkless but I can become a hero, I was quirkless but now I can become a hero, I was quirkless but now I am saving the world, I was quirkless but I saved the world. That also solves the "He has no growth accusation. Number 5: Watch the damn show. Watch it and see what I mean. Hes a good character BECAUSE hes kind-willed, wants to save people despite having no ability that could make him be as great as he wanted to and then saved the world because he got that quirk, Izuku has the same passions as all the characters you love/listed but they were simplified, he looks normal and like any person you would see on the streets while everyone else looks super cool and dressed up and who and what not, which makes him better in my opinion. He's a good character because of the reasons you hate him, same with Tanjiro, they are amazing because they are who they are. I'm just happy he didn't talk about Izuku crying more often than most MC's do. Some people need to grow up and touch grass.

I agree with almost everything you said, all the reason's people hate can be explained by watching the show or using any amount of their brain if they are being un-biased. This was a great comment and a lot of haters would learn SOOO much from reading this, but they will just hate to hate either way LMAO

@@HiddenSH_ Lol! THis was said by another creator, Kikazu, a lot of anime fans will watch what they hate just for the sake of hating and then waill say smth like "I was watching it to see if it got better" when it was JUST for the sake of hating. Just look at My Dress Up Darling, so many people hate it bc of the fanservice but the show is CENTERED around the s3xual aspect of their relationship (if you couldn't tell by EPISODE FXQING ONE) and it's integral to the plot. There are so many series that you can just tell they're gonna s3xual based off of the thumbnail alone. So many gripes but that is a whole 30 minute video for youtube, not a comment section.

@@Alex_Lennyboo-n1v LOL yeah it's true people just like to watch stuff to hate it's pointless!

[@Right_Bumper]

Deku is probably the most overhated anime protagonist and I never understood people’s hatred of the guy

[@LittleNamMan]

The reason I hate Deku is because as a character, he fundamentally does nothing, and doesn't really achieve anything until the promise of power. Deku was fully ready to give up on his dream of becoming a hero the moment All-Might told him it wasn't possible without a quirk, even though the series later on goes to prove that that kind of argument is actually not true, since All-Might used a suit made of other people's powers to do it. Deku only ever starts training when he is given the literal strongest power in the world, and sure, despite the fact he breaks his limbs upon using it, he's still getting help from the #1 Hero anyway. Are you going to tell me Deku would struggle training a lot more than a lot of these people with actually awful quirks? It's not that I don't think Deku wasn't struggling to train, but that he knows what he's getting in the end with the power he has. He would be less sure of his potential if he had the ability to summon plates like that one kid, since it's not a strong power by any means. But Deku has seen All-Might use this power, and has seen him become the greatest hero. Deku struggles to use it, sure, but he's getting lessons from the greatest hero in the world, and HIS teacher, Gran Torino. Deku also does not develop or have any connection to the villains at all thematically speaking. Deku is some kid living in a home with his mother, who didn't suffer the injustice of the Hero Society, yet every time someone like Stain, or someone else who had been wronged by the hero society like Lady Nagant and Shigaraki, bring up compelling points as to why the Hero Society is flawed, Deku does nothing to reflect upon these questions and just says "Well, doing what you're doing is wrong, so you can't do this!" This does nothing to tackle one of the most relevant plot points in the story, and Deku is saying all this without ever experiencing these injustices. Deku also somehow gets into U.A. based off an exam designed around points based off Uraraka vouching for him. A robot that does literally nothing for the exam and has no purpose to be there as it doesn't assign points, and it almost kills Uraraka. The teachers did legit nothing about this either, it took Deku to step in to do so. They put the lives of these kids in danger over a robot with no reason for being there, so what? That Deku could beat it, look like a hero, and get in that way? I get they're training to be heroes, but this is the entrance exam. Some of these kids probably barely know how to use their powers and you're putting them in with a giant death robot? That's besides the point. Deku's powers are also uninteresting, as in order to make them interesting, he pretty much has to use his fingers as ammo and... wind bursts, I guess?? Which like... sure, I guess wind bursts I can accept, but what else do you even do with super strength? Horikoshi clearly could not think of other ways to make Deku's powers interesting either, which is why he just said "Yeah, sure, give him like eight powers", which makes me feel like this stuff wasn't thought of or considered at all. It also makes One For All just look even more broken by comparison, and Deku really doesn't train nearly as much with those powers and gets the hang of them fast. And the other powers almost serve no purpose because a lot of them only really show up for the last portion of the story, which gives us no time to really consider their other utilities and functions. If they stuck to a Deku who had no powers in the beginning, we could have really seen him struggle with the system as his heroism becomes the thing that proves to All-Might he can be a hero, he doesn't get any broken powers, but Deku starts training on his own in the background to get ready for the entrance exam. In this version, since Deku is smart, you could make it to where he dedicated his life to learning how to create his own gadgets and gizmos to compensate for having no powers and he could use this to try and prove he can be a hero, but only gets laughed at for trying, everyone saying "Yeah, right! You'll never be a hero unless you don't have a quirk! Playing dress-up won't get you into U.A.!" This could add to Deku's bravery as a character, because he's not just going up against villains with the literal strongest quirk in his hands, he's going up against villains with his own power and abilities. This could lead into him creating his first suit which has its own special gadgets and ammo, and he can even learn how to create better suits as time goes by, soon being able to incorporate other quirks into his suits and allowing him the ability to use multiple powers. This can even serve the story in the sense of quirks themselves being a threat to mankind. What better finale to cap off the story than a quirkless hero who built a staircase to the top versus someone wielding a massive amount of quirks all at once. That could've truly proven to the world that anyone can be a hero. I understand why you like Deku, and I don't fault anyone for loving him. Like what you like. Not everything I like is stuff people consider good, but I still like it. But I'm not gonna call people "dumb" for having a different opinion than me.

[@lovableairheadmile6809]

Yeah calling people dumb was uncalled for lol

[@HiddenSH_]

I get what you're saying but even when "he was about to give up" after All Might told him he couldn't, as soon as he saw Bakugo a person in trouble, he went to save him anyway, even without power. So the whole thing about only doing stuff once he had the power of promise is wrong, and he would've been training since the age of 4 if he had any power at all, it didnt have to be All Might's or the strongest quirk, even without power he tried to help people. It had nothing to do with power and all mights help, that's what makes him worthy of it, because at his heart hes a hero no matter what, and it was All Might seeing Deku do this and try to save bakugo that reminded him what it's all about and proved to him he was wrong. Deku doesn't face the struggles from the hero society, but society in general bro. He was bullied simply because he was quirkless and wasn't like everyone else, so already I think you're coming from a biased stand point. Lady Nagant is fine but Shigi wasn't effect by hero society. He was also like deku just effected by society and the circumstances they were born in. Shigi's power was so danger and killed his loved ones by accident that he was sent down a path of choas and destructions. Deku because of how he was born had nothing and no hope expect all might, he is perfect heroism and need to save people, Shigi is destruction and hate, they are perfect foils for each other. So also thematically he relates perfectly to shigi and the villains. I understand a lot of people wanted this and in theory it would be great, but people don't think about is where is a 10 y/o kid to a single parent of a regular household is gonna get the money to make some crazy iron man suit enough to fight people with quirks that can destroy anything is touches. AS A CHILD! It works for Batman because hes an adult and has infinite money, and also only fights superpowered people every so often. 90% of Dekus world has SUPER POWERS, story wise it just wouldnt work for MHA. I appreciate your comment tho and how much thought you put into it, however I don't actually think people are dumb if people like Deku, i think its dumb to hate him because he cries or the fandom etc. so I made the video to explain why a lot of the reasons people hate him i think are not great and would be explained it people watched the show, but I have no problem if people dislike him lol

One of the reasons why people hated him is the fanbase, it’s terrible lol. But he is also a big example of weird fandubs and it always creeps me out. But honestly, in a year, he went from a really jumpy, emotional, suicidal and immature kid that initially got rejected by his idol to one of the most powerful mfs in the series that stands on business and possesses multiple quirks. MHA is my favorite anime so far but I still need to watch more anime to catch up to speed with the more popular titles.

[@RybaBezOsci]

I don't really enjoy his character anymore but that's not really as much because of him as because of everything around him. Him crying isn't a problem, the problem is that no one's do anything about it. Deku and bakugou clearly have unhealthy relationship but nobody seems to really care about that and the only therapy both of them receive is beating eachother really hard. Same thing for his clearly self destructing tendencies when it comes to his limbs. "Well kid maybe try not to do that next time". During villain hunt when it comes to emotional aspect, deku didn't really get any chance to self reflect on his behaviour. All of his classmates had their moments, even bakugou had time for apologizing but deku didn't get any. He just collapsed. It bugged me for a really long time. He also have major saviour complex and it's annoying that writers don't see the difference between that and real hero. But my main problem is that he confirms to a society that would normally expell him. Instead of being this underdog that confronts unfairness of world, he immediately receive quirk and becomes like everybody else. He never questioned anything despite seeing good and bad side of hero society. All of this made pretty much not care for him in the end. Shame because potential was just around the corner

[@HiddenSH_]

I can sort of understand where you are coming from but I think they do cover a lot of the topics you talk about, I think he was told many times to stop breaking his limbs but because of society and his need to catch up or save people he makes that sacrifice everytime without a second thought. I think when it comes to Bakugo that was mainly a one-sided hatred, Deku always liked him and wanted to be friends but Bakugo was always resort to violence, so until Bakugo finally apologised and stop resorting to violence they could finally start to fix their relationship. He always questioned everything, when he met Nagant he tried to win her over and talk to her instead of just beating her up and sending her to jail because he's been told shes a villain, same with Gentle, and because of that it ended up helping him in the end etc

[@adrianaperez2805]

THANK YOU!!! I feel like all I see online is my hero hate, especially Deku hate, almost like it’s trendy to hate them. But honestly? Now more than ever I believe we need a story like MHA’s. Questioning the systems put in place by those before us, setting aside what we’ve learned from people we admire and respect, and gaining a new, more compassionate outlook in life, even towards those who oppose our views, is a message so incredibly necessary for today’s time. I’ve loved my hero since back in late 2018, but rewatching it for season 6 was eye opening, like I finally understood what it was trying to say. Izuku is a catalyst for change, for the people around him, for Japan’s society, and even All Might himself, just by keeping that sensitive, vulnerable and compassionate heart. Izuku’s sensitivity (especially now extended to the villains) is a direct antithesis to mha society’s numb apathy, forcing it to view itself in a mirror and question where it went wrong, kicking off the change he inspired his classmates and comrades to chase as well. He’s such an incredible character and, like you said, even more altruistic than All Might (and AM is my fave character). (Spoilers for final manga chapter!!!) The only thing I would’ve wished for him, was to get the chance to come to terms with and embrace his worth even while quirkless, though considering how the story ended, I hope he gets that chance now (and I’d love to see that process in a spinoff or sequel work!). This aside, Izuku has definitely become one of my favorite characters in all of media, and my personal inspiration to keep chasing my dreams and never giving up. I just wish people tried more to understand him in good faith, instead of nitpicking and criticizing every little thing about him. Fantastic video!!! 👏❤️

I can understand where you are coming from, but for Deku he isn't holding a grudge he's been looking for a reason to forgive Bakugo his whole life because he's always considered him a friend or even looked up to him for being strong, so as soon as he apologised he was happy to have a reason to forgive him

The overhaul Arc is supposed to facilitate the payoff that all might didn't make a mistake and that Deku was the best person to receive one for all.

I hate that the only criticism that deku faces is that he cries too much or that his power was given to him. when you are denied your dream, hearing it from your friends, your mom and even your own idol. it would do things to you and it’s clearly shown that he was sheltered to keep that dream of his still lit. hell, izuku even thought about suicide when bakugou tormented him. half of his “crybaby” moments were even for comedic effect as well. it’s baffling that we are calling actual maturity from a teenager to be bad writing. how could a teenager not growing up, facing his fears and going forward with his dream to be bad character development? he even worked for his power, he did the task that all might put him up to, working out his body under a year to condition one for all just so he wouldn’t die. more importantly, risking his life to save his tormentor from the sludge villain that proved that deku is a hero, even without needing a quirk to prove it. from time and time again, he saved multiple people from UA, bakugou, iida, todoroki, uraraka and even all might himself and etc. and so many others to the little ones. kota, eri and a few others from the movies. izuku was even willing to throw away his power for mirio just so he could have his dream, same for bakugou just so izuku can save people. izuku is a hero, he embodies more than the hero society. you know that someone is a true hero that even stain who hates them can recognize you as one near all might. not only does he save the world and influence everyone to do their best/part that even they too can become a hero. and in the end, he actually does ends up being a hero without a quirk just liked he asked all might from the beginning.

Its honestly baffling how weird most anime fans are. Deku and Asta from Black Clover both had kind of the same hate in their beginning points of their series. Deku being a crybaby and Asta being a loud. But Asta has gotten more love as time passes on and yet somehow Deku kept getting hated. It just confuses me so much how they both were hated at the start but Deku's hate has gone on much longer and it took until the ending of MHA for more people to see hes a great protagonist...

[@taqresu5865]

I want to add more to the discussion but what I want to say would spoil Seasons 7 and 8 (when it occurs). So I'll instead say that Bakugo is an incredible foil for Deku. As explained in the anime, Bakugo is someone who wants complete victory, no matter the odds. Both he and Deku founded their core on All Might's inspiring actions. Both pushing past their dependancey and aspirations for All Might. And in the process, both learned that they need to grow where ther other naturally excells at: "win to save others and save others to win." And we're already seeing the payoff in Seasons 6 and 7.

Anytime he cries, he has a valid reason. Dark Deku arc is him at his lowest mentally and he's scared that his presence at UA will put innocent people and those he loves in danger so best believe he'll burst into tears when the girl who basically saved him over and over is pleading with a mob to let him come back to UA and they get convinced. Not every 16 year old can just lock their emotions away

[@MiguelTier100Debater85]

@junglekxngtalksanime I am not saying it isn't valid. I am just saying it happens so many times and gets annoying. A lot of anime protagonists have been in situations where they have every right to cry (especially those who are teens like Deku). But they don't bc of their strong will and bravery. Deku is supposed to be the embodiment of a true hero, and yet he cries like a whiny baby so many times. Hell, the likes of Spiderman (who deku is inspired by) don't cry all that much, even in tough situations.

[@HiddenSH_]

I'm glad to hear that! Can I ask what made you like him more?

[@faithfullilac]

He became stronger and the less pathetic version of himself, and saw how much he grew since the start. I just dislike weak mcs because it infuriates me to see them every single second of their screentime. I kinda realised that he is most definitely stronger than me if I was quirkless in the first place anyway lol because I would've despised the world and I couldn't even become a proper villain because I'm quirkless. He is hero

[@HiddenSH_]

@@faithfullilac That's totally understandable, I think seeing his journey and become the person he is after not having a quirk is really inspiring, I think I would've lost hope as a child as well if I didnt have a quirk

[@Victoor2951]

I personally don't disliked Deku, I think its good to finally be allowed to have a male mc who can be in tears, determined, and grow to become a figure you can look up to in a sense or be motivated with. now I will say, I liked him but that feeling died seasons ago, I also don't dislike him I simply just don't feel anything towards him anymore. I think the story just went to far spread out thin, and his impact dulled down over the seasons to me. season 1 was peak to me, from zero he had nothing but prove his determination and will and got a chance to become something and he worked for it. season 2 was great and had a lot of good moments.. now everything else after this is a blur to me and wasn't important for my brain to remember as of now. (I might rewatch the show to see if my thoughts are truelly like this but as of now these are my thoughts.) Also side note: all of this I could probably say about demon slayer to ^^^^ both suffers from similar things. and even other Animes and that makes me wonder if its just us/me who's become rotten over the decade of incredible stories and fiction and quick dopamine and adrenaline needs that the internet has become that shaped my thoughts like this

[@SullivanDLuffy]

How was the other season bad ? This is getting old. Season 1 was not the only good season. Season 3 4 5 6 7 are amazing seasons. Stop hating.

[@Victoor2951]

@@SullivanDLuffy I never said they were bad, I just said I cant remember them, and can infinitely better remember the first season and second, and as someone who watched it all shouldn't I been able to remember all the seasons?

[@zg5417]

I feel like people don’t like deku and says he is a crybaby because he is a lot more human then other mc’s other would rarely cry or act human

[@KevinLockhart1231]

After years of hearing videos, about why Izuku Midoriya is the main character in shonen jump anime history, because he cries alot, or realized legs exist, or find out he wasn't the first choice of getting one for all. I really won't agree or understand correctly, unless those people bring up real reasons why he's the worst character ever. I don't care he cries all the time, I don't care he broke his arms, every time he goes too far with his quirk, just save or fight someone, and I definitely don't care that he discovered he can use his legs instead of his arms. In my opinion, deku to me, is a character that accepts change, to catch up with other, just to become his idol allmight. And if you guys didn't catch that past his journey, through 7 seasons and 4 movies, then we're not watching the same anime.

[@Thishandleisalreadytaken157]

I don’t like deku but him crying is a dumb reason to hate him

[@HiddenSH_]

Thank you, that's all I was trying to get at, if you don't like him that's fine, hating him because he crys is dumb

[@supbub335]

I didn’t even know there was a stereotype for him I just hate his voice

[@HiddenSH_]

Ohh yeah especially when MHA first came out that's all people called him lmaoo

[@kar1r1guzo0ra7]

Crying, and wearing your heart on your sleeve doesn't make you weak. suggesting that it does is a bad lesson to teach people especially young men.

[@HiddenSH_]

100% agree and the fact people would say this all the time back in the day is crazy

[@Sillygoat6969]

I dont hate Deku because hes a crybaby I hate Deku because its hilarious watching mha fans turn into crybabies themselves when i call him that

[@HiddenSH_]

that's fair its fun rage baiting people LOL as long as you dont hate him for crying thats fine with me

[@TheBuckethead]

pov: you only like silent characters watching this like 😶 also just adding my personal opinion, i don't hate deku because because hes a cry baby. i don't like him for him, like i just find his voice annoying or the way he goes about things so on so forth. just so everyone knows if its not mha vigilantes i don't particularly like it. like i know deku is strong and cool to others but in my opinion, i can't find a reason to like him like he's nice and what not but Deku never grew up, like he stays a squeak Mikey mouse with powers bro. the only time hes not is when he has a mental health crisis. i just don't like how he hasn't like matured much. he still sounds like a kid on xbox personally, thats ok not every character sounds bad and what not. is it a dumb reason? technically not if your just being honest, hes not a bad character. his characterization is just lacking because of the fact he was given his power. not really earned it, like he just moved trash yeah so his limbs don't rip off but like that's the only reason which is just oh, typically hero trope. just spiderman but slightly more interesting. does he deserve hate no, but should you be shamed about your opinion. nah hater is gonna hate and imma respectfully be his #1 hater. 💀

[@HiddenSH_]

that's fine if you hate Deku as long if its not because he cries sometimes LOL I will say tho I think he deserves his power because of the kind of person he is, originally All Might said he can't be a hero until he saw Deku try to save Bakugo from that slime monster, while having no powers and probably no way to help him but tried to save him anyway, it was only after seeing this that he decided Deku was worthy of being a hero

[@spencerhrabec733]

You forgot to mention 1 thing about Deku. (I think at least. I could be missremembering) After the fight with stain, i could've sworn that he said that though he didnt agree with what stain was doing, he understands his view point on it. If im wr ok ng, tell me who said it but to me. It just seems like deku understood stain and he probably wishies that he could have helped him

[@HiddenSH_]

I don't remember 100% either but I believe you might be right, at the very least there was someone if not more who understood what Stain was saying with his view point on Hero Society he was just going about it a very very wrong way LOL

[@Oku_yappin]

12:20 Shigaraki Perfect Foe... Shigaraki just a crashout with shit motivations bruv.

[@HiddenSH_]

Bro? you don't think him being absolute chaos and destruction is the perfect foil for Deku's absolute heroism and need to save?

[@Oku_yappin]

@@HiddenSH_ Deku hasn't saved anyone this entire war arc. Bakugo got put on life support. My thing is Shigaraki is just pointless destruction. He fights for nothing. If he was fighting amfor a reasonable cause and Deku was also fighting for a reasonable cause against Shigi. Then It would make sense. But you have a point when you say Shigi's chaos is perfect match for dekus heroism. But honestly isn't that just every villain in my hero academia. Overhaul was a better fit for Deku imo. Bro had reasonable motivations and his methods were down right evil. Overhaul's ideology counters Deku's ideology. Now that I've said all this. Deku's ideology just feels like every other hero. Like his goal to want to save everyone is something we've seen other heroes do. So it doesn't feel unique. Honestly Uraraka did a better job at saving everyone against Toga Himiko. She even got stabbed in the process.

[@HiddenSH_]

@@Oku_yappin I guess I understand what you're saying but also I think you just don't like Shigi's motivations/characters as much as overhaul for example, but I think Shigi's need for absolute destruction and crushing the current world for the revenge of what he feels life has given him, matches deku's need to save people and make the world a better place despite the world also giving him a hard time being quiurkless, different, bullied (not as bad as shigis obviously) but still I think that's great. And to say he didnt save anyone in the war is crazy, everytime he fights shigi or AFO he is saving people because hes the only one that can match and stop him from killing everyone else LOL

[@BraylonKing-m8f]

Izuku crys only for the like the first 3 seasons also i think it was meant to be funny

[@caratrevoso3347]

I hate Deku and I'm here standing proud to all y'all deku glazers to see, f**k that waste of space and terrible main character

[@HiddenSH_]

Care to explain why?

[@caratrevoso3347]

@@HiddenSH_ the main character: had a terrible development, not gonna lie even though he was annoying at the start of the anime we could give him a pass because it was the start but it's like deku just kept getting worse, whenever we felt like he was getting a character development he would always go back to his bitching "I can't do anything" personality, the fact that the mf treats bakugou like a deity also didn't work, besides my biggest problem with him is that he didn't make any sense when he entered his edgy phase like bro every since the start of the anime everything was going your way, you had the strongest quirk, a girl in love with you and every shit you got yourself into you managed to get out stronger and then because of a single lost you decide to start imitating berserk? nigga you are not him! imagine if that pussy of a main character was in guts or yuji's place, bro would kill himself on the first two L's heck, even yuji after shibuya was way more charismatic and hopeful than deku and he still gave off a vibe of maturity without going full "this city needs a hero" mode, an annoying main character who throws a tantrum when things don't go his way and acts like that just so the audience can go "omg he so like me fr fr"

Very bold of u to assume most anime fans actually use their brains

Why can't I repost YT videos??? I WOULD REPOST THIS WITH HUNDREDS OF DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS IF I COULD!!!

[@HiddenSH_]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I appreciate the support!

[@duplicatehedgehog]

When I first started MHA, I instantly liked the main character because I saw myself in him. I dropped the anime for a dumb reason tho which is Deku's suit being bland and basic. So when Dark Deku was created with his red gauntlets I was happy to return again and knowing he could use 99% of his power without breaking his bones now made it even better. But then I eventually got bored of that and went for Luffy Gear 5, then when I saw Deku's outfit in season 7 with all the colours and stuff it made me go back to the MHA phase, now I'm a One Piece and MHA fan, love One For All and Gear 5

[@HiddenSH_]

I love to hear that you're a fan of MHA and One Piece I love both of those shows and think they are both great!

[@Xavin711]

I agree that people defiantly hate on him to much without valid reason, however I do dislike him a fair bit still. Not because he's a cry baby but because he is for the most part a static character, of course he changes slightly when it comes to confidence but their is no large moment of character growth as even stated in the video he has always had the drive to save people no matter what and he is still scared but will push on anyways. I personally like Bakugo as he is a complex character who not only has layers as to why he does things but also grows and changes his outlook where as Deku is fairly one dimensional. Overall though a fairly good video btw

[@HiddenSH_]

That's completely valid, the only reason I made this video was for the people who use the fact "he cries" as a reason he is a bad mc. I do agree with you for the most part he is static and has the same motivations, that's why for me personally I loved the vigilante arc, it's a time we see a very different deku and saw probably the most growth and layers to him, but I understand liking Bakugo as well he is for sure a super layer and deep character and watching his journey was sick! Thank you for letting me know :)
