I would’ve liked deku’s vigilante arc if at the end he had like an actual breakdown, gone full ep18 suburu and voiced the burdens of being all might’s successor and how he views himself as worthless. It would’ve cathartic asf and would’ve been climactic rather than what we got was him just passing out and a stupid bath gag, not even an internal monologue from deku’s POV

We don't need him to rent about how hard it is being AM's successor and how he views himself as worthless. The whole class is literally aware of this. That's why the class even went after him and insisted he can't do this alone. Ch 322-324 clearly depicts this, with Bakugos speech, and Urarakas speech to everyone...

@jeffali5157 deku has never really been the type of person to look at himself with much worth if u see how he is throughout the series. We see how even tho he has every right to hate Bakugo for what he's done, he chooses not to and instead focuses on his strengths, which made him view bakugo as his "image of victory". After Overhaul arc, he was willing to give OFA to mirio despite how much he's trained for it, and how it completely change the direction of his life. In fact, his heroism is even fuelled by his lack of self-worth. It makes perfect sense why he didn't focus on his past when he was worthless. He just simply moved on from it, and is instead focusing on the future with a changed society...

@@johnoguntuase1162 and that’s a problem considering it coincides with his self destructive nature throughout the series. Just making the excuse of “choosing not to” when it’s clearly important to have some focus especially now is not good so no it doesn’t make perfect sense. How he willingly ignores Bakugo’s flaws and still wears rose colored glasses for the most part and that none of his friends try to see how toxic this has become is really jarring.

@mangamandrew 9 ай бұрын

But let’s ask this, what is the difference between Bakugo’s apology and what he tells Deku during their second fight? To me, there is no real difference. The dialogue with Bakugo in that fight could have been plopped in post Bakugo apology and nothing would change. Why? Because we already knew how Deku felt about Bakugo.

@You-Tube-n5k 9 ай бұрын

I think the reason why Deku doesn't have many introspective moments about his relationship with Bakugo is because he hasn't really done anything wrong. That being said, there's still plenty to explore that hasn't been touched on nearly as much as it could be. We o get a pretty good idea of how he feels about Bakugo after the apology, but it's not really anything complicated or deep. And while I don't necessarily mind that, it's definitely an oddly wasted opportunity. (copying and pasting this from another reply since it fits here too lol)

So my understanding is that, at least in a in universe sense, that Deku views himself as unimportant basically completely. I do think that Horikoshi is possibly just not good at writing it for Deku, but maybe there is a small part of me coping hard that it is symbolic that Deku has no inner voice even with actual vestiges inside his head. I do think his expressions are very telling of his thoughts or at least reactions, and his ramblings might just be an outside expression that he wants Deku to only express himself with.

I respectfully disagree with broken ronin. The author of MHA is showing how deku feels over telling the audience “This is how Deku feels”. The difference between Deku vs Spider-Man or Batman or any other American hero is that you can’t really see the expressions of the American heroes without having them take off their mask. So they have to say how they feel for the audience to understand otherwise they would just look very stoic and unfeeling. Deku hardly ever has his mask on so we can see his internal conflict without him having to beat us over the head with unnecessary dialogue. 🤷‍♂️

@theeggthatsurvivedhowtobas778 10 ай бұрын

While mha has its big issues. I kinda dont want mha to have any more major inspiration for comics at least modern comics considering how far they fell. Manga in general and even MHA in general handles comic book themes better than comics themselves these days. Also endeavors my fav character ngl. Id say Dekus biggest flaw is what you said, his introspection. Its like deku just moves forward without thinking about himself and his own thoughts. Which the series is self observant of but I still feel like dekus lack of internal monologue is holding him back a bit And while part of it is horikoshi not wanting to dive deep..another part of it is horikoshi having to rush the first part of the Final Act For example, hori said Lady Nagants mini arc was supposed to be TWICE AS LONG. Goes to show that Hori felt a bit backed into a corner a bit.

*_even MHA in general handles comic book themes better than comics themselves these days_* Literally not true. There is so much missed potential in MHA it's insane. Like Ronin said, not only character introspection is missing from the story, but whole plot points are also dropped. For example, they literally bring up Quirk Racism at one point and then refuse to do anything interesting with it. A western comic would not have let that slide, especially since X-Men is built on that very premise. The MHA world could have been so much more interesting.

I love Spider Man 🕷 and MHA 💚 spider man/ Peter Paker is the best superhero of all time. Deku was supposed to be like Spider Man, a hero who saves people, is selfless, and tries to always do the right thing. But he was not written as Peter Paker, who is a person who has feelings, thoughts, and struggles . That is why we connect to Peter/Spider the way he thinks or feels we see it, and we care for what happens to him. But Horikoshi does not do that he wants to write and draw heroes and costumes. With the relationship with Deku with Bakugo, he forgives him for everything he had done to him that is not how a Real person would not do. Bakugo bullied Deku and made his life hell Deku didn't do anything. He should have been angry and not forgive him and should have beat him to near death for what Bakugo has done. In the spider man movies Toby/Andrew Peter Parker stood up to Flash and became a Man and fought him and embarrassed him. It took time for Peter and Flash to become friends in the comics. Horikoshi does not want to write characters under those costumes. He does not understand that we need to care about the character. Horikoshi needs to write better how a character should act like a human and needs to focus on the main character, Deku. He needs to read Spider Man comics to understand how to write a character who is a human being who has emotions with fear, anger, and love. That is what horikoshi needs to work on. Like people say, " Everyone wants to be Spider Man but Not Peter Parker." That is what horikoshi is doing he wants to write deku as a hero but not a person. Spider Man and Deku share the same words "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility." Again, Deku could have become a good main character like Spider man/Peter. Horikoshi needs to write better and understand his own main character. I still like MHA, but I feel like it could have been better. 🕷💚🕷💚 Also, I did not know Camie Utsushimi was supposed to be like Black Cat. I can see it now with the costume, and the way they both act is great. I love Camies Character so much. I can see Deku and Camie being that type of couple.

@nick25oo 9 ай бұрын

I agree with you, To me Deku is a Peter park type character that became a Superman type character but he doesn’t really have any of the strengths of either of those two character types outside of fighting. This is why non super power Deku from the beginning and vigilante Deku before he got ruined where my favorite versions of Deku because the both represent the best aspects of Deku character, The super hero who willing sacrifice himself to save people and the super hero nerd who just wanted to be someone’s hero.

@JackAglet 9 ай бұрын

I get where you’re coming from but I see it in a different way. Deku and Bakugo have fought each other on multiple occasions. They both have a pretty good understanding on how the other person thinks at this point. Comparing Bakugo to Flash is kinda weird since there are a bunch of different versions of him. From what I remember I don’t think Deku ever said he forgave Bakugo for everything he did. Horikoshi has displayed many emotions with Deku. I would be very surprised if Horikoshi never read any Spider-Man comics. Deku is still pretty young and trying to figure stuff out. People constantly compare him to characters like Spider-Man, Superman, and Batman. They are some of the most popular characters in fiction so that’s a pretty high bar to set for Deku tbh. Those characters are typically grown men with decades of experience. Deku shouldn’t be like them that much or at least not yet until he’s older and gains more experience

Nah, Camie is not supposed to be Black Cat. Idk where he got that from.

I always wondered why I loved seeing the others character of MHA and never actually missed Deku in the story. This is the reason. The other characters are much more interesting, more dynamic, has better written story compared to deku. Even the latest chapters of MHA, AFO vs Bakugo clash which was insane btw, the exchange between Uraraka and Toga kept me more invested than the fate defining fight between Deku and Shigaraki. Like I said, I didn't miss deku and couldn't care less about his fight cause I was just not invested in his character

I will say, this is pretty much how I feel about Endeavor. Just completely uninvested in his character. Although that's pretty much exclusively down to how he's handled in the latter part of the series. As for Deku, while I get why some people find him uncompelling, I definitely do miss him at times since a lot of the interactions that I love (AFO and Bakugo, Uraraka and Toga, etc.) stem a lot from his impact on them. I think a lot of it comes down to narrative payoff and how things were set up at the beginning.

@ancientking224 10 ай бұрын

I agree with you on this, I wish Izuku had more time to actually reflect more on his life, beliefs, and how quirks effect the world. I don't blame Horikoshi for it, due to his declining health and Shuiesha rushing the production but it does suck to see. Spoilers for the manga of MHA for this. Part of the weakness that I think My Hero Academia has is it's lack of extrapolation on the social aspect's of quirks, something that is shown in the movies Heroes Rising, Heroes' World Mission and it's Vigilante's spin off but it's something I wish we could see in the main story. I wish we got to see the oppressed of this world: the quirkless, villainous quirks, mutant quirks, weak quirks, or quirks that effect a person mentally. Deku saying in EPS 1 that UA got rid of the rule where a quirkless person couldn't even apply to enter the Hero Course. Shinsou being discouraged for his "villainous quirk", Bakugou and Yaoyorozu were praised for their powerful quirks, Twice believing he may not be real, Toga facing quirk counseling due to her blood addiction, Shoji's life and abuse as a heteromorph, Kirishima believing he wouldn't be a great hero due to his straightforward quirk, and the Aoyama family being so desperate for their child to have a quirk that they turned to AFO of all people for it. The sheer potential that quirks have socially are subtle or straight up blatantly displayed. I wish Deku had time to actually reflect on why he defends Bakugou, why quirkless people are looked down upon, prejudice shown towards the heteromorphs like Chapter 370 "The 6/6 Incident" or Shoji mentioning that in the country heteromorphs face prejudice. My bad for the brief little rant but there's so much that can be written about the social aspect of quirks that I'm honestly disappointed that we didn't get more.

@JackAglet 10 ай бұрын

I understand where you’re coming from. Parts of the story definitely feel incomplete. I guess for me I’m just more on the optimistic side. I believe that Horikoshi will expand on that stuff in the post war section of the story. Also with movies or other spinoff series like Vigilantes. Realistically Horikoshi can’t fit everything in less than 500 chapters. I’ve really been enjoying the story so far and I’m excited for MHA future projects

@You-Tube-n5k 9 ай бұрын

While I would say that Deku does reflect on prior actions, experiences, and interactions, it's more in small doses than in any huge impactful scenes. While I can appreciate this, I definitely agree that it could have been accentuated better, as it can be difficult to people to pick up on the smaller moments. Then again, the smaller moments might be ultimately why I actually like My Hero more than some other series, still though, I totally see the point of this video. The moment at around 6:30 is a good example of this where we can get a good idea for how Deku feels just based on how he acts towards Bakugo later on, but it would have been cool to get something more akin to a response or internal monologue since that could go into a lot of detail too.

The dark hero arc literally happened BECAUSE of Deku's self reflection (one of his main flaws) on his classmates' power levels and the impact any of their deaths would have on him if they got killed by Shigaraki.

@@JackAglet Thank you. Main characters like Goku, Luffy and Gon exist, who have little to no monologue but strong characterization through their actions. I think we have enough prior context combined with Deku's decisive action to understand his character throughout. 16:06 While I agree the part of the arc where he's alone should be longer, he definitely does benefit from this arc narritively because he carries the lesson of not burdening himself with saving everyone alone, no matter how strong he gets. After this we see him put his faith in Ochako and Bakugo and focus on one mission in the final war. He stops hiding behind a mask shows all his emotions. He stops trying to fill All Mights role and takes a step towards finding his own.

@themadman4062 10 ай бұрын

Deku does not care about himself, he does not love himself as much as he should. He puts others before himself because he still views himself like the “useless, worthless Izuku” he was called and treated as. That’s why Deku Black even happens because if he’s not the “Deku that does his best” he feels worthless. MHA isn’t over yet and we’re most likely getting a decent length epilogue, Deku either going to confront this flaw during his fight with Shiggy/Tenko or most likely Uraraka.

You made some interesting points. I agree that Deku feels like an incomplete character. But I think it was done on purpose. I could be wrong but that’s just what I think. There are definitely some gaps in the story that need to be filled at some point. The things that come to mind is that Horikoshi can expand on that stuff in different ways. Either with the upcoming fourth movie, a spin-off series, or by using flashbacks during the post war stuff of the main story. Considering how popular MHA is I wouldn’t be surprised if it got several more movies and spinoffs to expand on its characters and world building. I would love for Horikoshi to include everything in the main story but that’s literally just not realistically possible. Great video 👍

@AshXXMayftw 9 ай бұрын

No, you're not wrong in this assumption. As someone who's been writing for nearly 20 years, a common idea me and many other authors tend to implement in our stories are the internal struggles within our characters. If something drastic happens, whether it be happy, sad, infuriating, confusing, etc. you'd best believe we're going to have them reflect on it at some point. This is something that always helps when creating a more well-rounded and fleshed out character. It can even happen as said event plays out. So yeah, while I like Deku, he's certainly not as fleshed out as he could have been. And I'd argue his character isn't really that interesting anymore, even when we're approaching the end.

And maybe The MHA Anime get some of the same treatment of The Anime Version of AoT where certain scenarios were changed either slightly or majorly and people would either automatically prefer it over the Manga Version .......or not. 6:24 I don't think Deku would have think any different about Bakugou since his apology other then that He does care about others just in his own rude way. No personal preferences, I just think that's how he would think about Bakugou just no different thinking about him.

good video! glad to see some mha criticism that isn't just some blind hate. i definitely agree, as someone who loves the show and deku's character, i'd love to see more introspection and self-reflection from him and its a shame we didn't get it. i wouldn't say the dark deku arc did nothing for him, tho. its clearly the culmination of all of his worse traits. it relates to what you said about deku not struggling to do the right thing - he was never the kinda character that struggles to do the right thing in the first place. it comes easy and natural to him, a little like captain america. instead, he's the kinda character that takes doing the right thing way too far, to a toxic degree. his desire to help people and the value he places on their lives combines together with his lack of value for himself, instilled in him from childhood from how everyone treated him as worthless for his quirklessness. its never just been "people are important", its always been "people are important AND I AM NOT". you can see this throughout the entire series, from how he lets bakugo step on him, to how he breaks his limbs just to save people like his pain doesn't matter, how he tries to mindlessly copy allmight because he views himself as worthless, and how he tears himself apart trying to kill shigaraki in the war. and he gets punished for those things, EVERY SINGLE TIME. it either puts people at risk, puts himself at risk, or just plainly hurts deku. it always pushes him away from his goal in some way. and it all comes to a head in the dark hero arc, where the responsibility of being the only person who can stand up to shigaraki, exasterbated by the wielders of one-for-all and their quirks manifesting, puts so much responsibility and burden on him, he removes every shred of care he had for himself ENTIRELY. pushes himself away from people he loves, barely eats, fights like an animal, makes his life a living hell. and once again he's punished. not only is he struggling like hell, to the point he was about to lose to this random lame ass fucking puppet villain like that wouldn't be the most humiliating shit to ever happen to him in his life - but he's even failing at what he actually wants to do. make people feel safe. the reason he admired allmight in the first place is that he doesn't just rescue people physically, but emotionally. he's so reliable, confident and charismatic that just his presence is enough to make people feel safe regardless of the situation. but when you're so god damn miserable you can't even crack a smile, no one's gonna feel safe around you. so he's still being punished. this is one of mha's themes of the importance of mental health, that's been there all the way from episode 1 finally coming to a head. so yeah, I'd say this arc does plenty for deku even without the self-reflection (although i'd still love to have more of it for sure) because his actions alone tell you exactly how he thinks. this is not a man that respects himself. this is not a man that thinks he's worthwhile, or that anyone would give a shit if he died. this is a man who views himself as WORTHLESS. of course, deku's been making strides to improve this as well. from standing up against bakugo for the first time, developing his identity separate from allmight, his second fight against bakugo ("just because this is a therapy fight doesn't mean i'm nice enough to let you win" is such a good line that shows his development i popped off so hard) to disqualifying the guys at the provisional exam that were begging him not to because "we worked so hard for this" "well yeah bitch me too" or when he took down gentle despite knowing he's crushing his dream for the sake of his own, and of course at the end of the dark hero arc. when he accepts that he's important and deserves to rest, to heal and be helped, and even for others to put themselves at risk for it. when he accepts his home in UA, and lets his friends fight his war beside him. deku's arc is really about learning that he deserves saving every bit as much as all the people he's fighting to save. i'm telling you, in that final battle when it all comes down to it, deku will be like "but there's one more person who deserves to be saved." and its going to be deku himself. yeah, sorry, i basically just used your video as an excuse to dump my interpretation of deku's character and why i really love him. even tho i entirely agree with your criticism here. thanks for giving me the platform! with how much hate the show's been recieving lately i've started doubting myself for liking it, but expressing myself like this helped me regain the confidence to believe in what i like and in my ability to judge it. thanks! and thank you for anyone who took the time to read it. TL:DR i totally agree with your criticism and here's an unrelated breakdown for why i think deku's an amazing character anyway.

I actually agree with a lot of your points but not all of them. Dark Deku or vigilante deku wasn’t just all his worse traits combined, it was also all of Deku’s good traits taken to the extreme and that is why it was probably the most interesting version of Deku character wise, fighting wise, and even story wise. This is also why people dislike or hate that ark including myself because that ark could have made Deku into one of the really great anime main characters but it was so short that it barely added anything to his overall development. He still a decent character but a lot of other characters in his own show are just better then him. I do agree with the Deku needing rest and help from friends aspect in your comment but that wasn’t really earned because so much was skipped over in the story or wasn’t shown at all If anything it had a negative impact because the ark just sorta ended there without any real resolution and that just felt bad. Lastly Deku seeing himself as worthless angle doesn’t really work, it should fit him but Character wise and even story wise it just never really stuck. Only bakugo ever really called Deku worthless and sorta just ended there. The story seems to have went with the lacking confidence angle and just skipped over it.

@nick25oo 9 ай бұрын

@@awesomesofar5963 I reread parts of MHA to refresh myself for the new chapters not too long ago, so I fully remember this Arc and the reason I called it negative was because Deku didn’t gain any real character development but other that it was actually a good Ark. The entire Ark was a lot better than I thought after i originally reviewed it but All-might and most of class-A students got character development/ resolution by using Deku as a focus point but Deku himself was always a team player, so this Ark didn’t really do anything for his character other then putting him back into his original place. Also most of what Deku did solo was put under a negative light and that didn’t help either because that meant his resolution was just him getting saved, which isn’t a bad thing but Deku needed something more than just that and Deku's own feelings on situation was never clearly said. First thing, Bakugo is Deku's childhood friend. He wasn’t the greatest friend but he was still a friend and Deku knew that. Secondly, copying someone isn’t really a negative thing, everyone copies someone and then they develop themselves through life but some people do get stuck on different parts of that growth and All Might isn’t the worst person to copy. The only time this isn’t fully true is when a child is very spoiled and gains a strong sense of self early on or when the child is very neglected and gains a very weak sense of self. Deku in comparison is a very normal child who falls somewhere in between. Also self sacrifice is seen as a positive trait in most cases but it does have negatives and Deku had that trait before all might. Lastly, everyone in MHA world knows being a hero is very dangerous work, so deku being a quirkless hero is basically a death sentence in most people eyes and this why early deku is one one my favorite version of deku because he was fighting a clear uphill battle from the start but that interesting situation instantly disappears when deku got his powers. This is why I said Deku being worthless angle should work but doesn't, Deku is no longer quirkless and that means he is no longer worthless from the story standpoint. This problem is amplified by the author never really getting Deku's viewpoint on that problem, so worthless deku actually died the same day he gained his power in the eyes of everyone and only Bakugo remembers him.

@@nick25oo alright let's go over this one by one. i can see how it'd feel like deku's development only put him back where he was before the arc, his lack of introspection does make it hard to tell in more specificity how his views on the world changed. but we've still explored the extremes of deku's personality flaws, and he still overcame them, and that doesn't feel like just putting him back where he started to me. because where he started, prior to the war, is a deku that'd do the whole extremist vigilnated thing if pushed into it. but where he ended, he knows better than that, he knows he has to treat himself better. so its a matter of interpretation, to you it feels like he didn't grow and to me it did, but i do understand where you're coming from and i wish we got to hear him talk about his growth in his own words. "bakugo is his childhood friend" okay we call him childhood friend because of the trope, but for the love of god he told deku to KILL HIMSELF, he is a BULLY. hell they make it clear in their joined fight against allmight in the final exam that these motherfuckers don't even know how to communicate anymore, and the entirety of their second fight is them finally managing to talk for once. in the lisence exam when bakugo actually compliments him deku is shocked he could bring himself to do that. they can't exactly be friends if they can barely communicate and throwing one good word in is an unbelievable feat. hell the fact deku is still nice to him after all that is more proof of his low self esteem - bakugo insulting him isn't a big deal because he doesn't matter. deku thinks he's right so there isn't anything to get angry over. but as he gains self esteem he lets his anger on bakugo out too. and even if they were friends, as long as bakugo is this degrading to him, that's more than enough to destroy a teen's self esteem. "copying someone isn't a negative thing" drawing inspiration isn't a negative thing. deku was trying to be allmight boy jr. he never even thought to throw a kick because allmight didn't. copying allmight was 100% limiting him and a bad thing. and "a child with a weak sense of self" is exactly deku, his ass does not fall in the middle between your examples. i don't get what youre line on self sacrifice is trying to say. either way i think my point stands, deku sacrifices so much of himself that he misses out on the things he wants like winning the sports festival to help todoroki or losing bakugo to beat muscular. it always costs him something when he tears himself apart this much. your problem with deku getting his powers is something a lot of people do, where you dislike the story because you want it to be a different story. you want it to be a story where deku is batman and beats people with no superpowers. but the story was never trying to be about that in the first place. i don't think its fair to judge a story for not being something it was never trying to be instead of judging it on what it is trying to be. and lastly, its true that once deku gets his powers people don't see him as worthless anymore. but that doesn't matter, because DEKU still sees himself as worthless. character arcs are about overcoming your main flaw, and a main flaw isn't how society views you or something external like that. its an internal problem, contained within the character, and the reason its so hard to change is that even when the world changes around you and you're thrust into an entirely new setting like deku did when he got his powers, these beliefs are still ingrained in you and don't bend that easily. worthless deku did not "die", if feelings of low self esteem were that easy to get rid of no one would fucking have them. worthless deku is still very much alive and he shows himself in every behaviour and every big moment deku goes through. so yeah, i still wholeheartedly believe my interpretation of deku works, and i don't agree with a lot of your points trying to disprove it.

@nick25oo 9 ай бұрын

@@awesomesofar5963 First thing, it's ok not to agree on everything and that's what keeps most conversations like this interesting and if the author just gave Deku own personal viewpoint on certain situations then most of his character problems will just disappear. Anyway Deku himself never really acknowledged his character Flaws in the story, so he never actually overcame anything but like I said before this problem only exists because the author never gave Deku a viewpoint on most situations. Also vigilante deku didn't really do anything extreme character wise. Deku always pushed himself too hard and that is why the entire situation actually made sense, so that was also nothing really new. In my opinion Deku should have just actually fought the entire class one-A, which would have been something actually extreme for him to do and then the ice sled thing happens only if Deku won the fight.. it a better climax then Deku just running away from he classmates the entire time.. A childhood friend is a friend you made in childhood, Deku and Bakugo were said to be friends before bakugou got his quirk or at least it was shown that way and then bakugou let other people's admiration of his quirk get to his head. Bakugo did bully Deku but the true level of bullying is entirely unknown, the fandom went to the extreme instantly even when that level of bullying doesn't make any sense story wise. The kill yourself line is a summary version of what he really said to Deku and is the peak of what people got on him but honestly, I heard real kid says way worst things before. Deku not knowing how to kick is his dad's fault but let's be completely honest here, I can't comprehend how Deku not knowing how to kick can even be tied to All might. That is just straight reaching, The only way that would make any sense at all is if All-might specifically told Deku to never kick. That is not copying, it is just being stupid. Also inspiration is a "feeling " and copying is an "action", copying someone isn't entirely a negative thing is the correct wording. Honestly, there are a lot of different ways to write that line and have it fit the sentence. Anyway, you skip over the neglected child part of my original example. Deku does have Low self esteem early in the story but Deku never had a weak self image of himself. The entire story of MHA is built around the idea of Deku's self image of being a hero, honestly Deku is shown to have one of the strongest self images in the entire cast of MHA story. Here are some examples of characters that are actually shown in story to have both low self esteem and weak self image, Twice, Toga, Dabi, shigaraki, and even shoto. Deku easily had a normal childhood by comparison, Plus his mom actually cared about him. Basically I was just saying self sacrifice is seen as a virtue. Anyway the examples you gave on why self sacrifice is bad for Deku don't make any sense, Deku himself didn't want to win the tournament while shoto was holding back his full capabilities which isn't self sacrifice and Deku was fighting muscular to stop him from killing a child. Lastly, unless I directly stated something don't start making things up. I actually like MHA and I honestly don't care that Deku got powers, I was just saying what my problem is with the MHA story and how the story dealt with the quirkless being worthless angle. Literally in chapter one of MHA story basically said quirkless people are worthless and then in the literal next chapter Deku got the strongest quirk in the entire story. That's just me stating what was happening in the story. The story itself, basically just told me that in the MHA universe that you need powers to matter and everything Bakugo said to quirkless Deku was actually true in only one chapter. This is the reason why I said quirkless Deku basically died because he literally only exists in the first episode to set the stage and the author rarely if ever brings that story point back up. That's just bad writing and that has nothing to do with me liking Deku having powers or not. Also there are multiple ways to deal with low self esteem, most people just never learn the right skills or never knew there were skills for dealing with it in the First place and having low self esteem isn't really a natural thing, it is something you usually get from other people or it is self created problem. It literally impossible for a worthless person to exist but people just like calling themselves that.

Cause it could lead to greater sympathy towards the villains for 1, cause though deku was powerless, he literally got the best quirk just by being willing to sacrifice himself...just one action. So the idea of being at the lowest could work, but you could make an argument for why that wouldn't. 2, an argument could be made that deku is slightly carried by his quirk. Having six different powers is not only OP but gives him a variety of options above everyone else in which it feels less like he's smarter and simply better, but his quirk is better and that's why he'll be #1. Also, I think it could be good story telling with how he could take down shigaraki if he was making gadgets instead, and loses them at the end.

Given the fact that Horikoshi has even been rushed by Shuiesha to just get thru the story and his deteriorating health, I think it has taken its toll on the series overall and rushing some of Deku’s development as a character. Still, as I’ve said, I think he’s done a good job, even if he could’ve done better. Deku isn’t my favorite character but he’s my top 3 of the series easily.
