I think Deku deserves a little more love than he gets. Let me know if you feel the same or not.😄
Agreed 💯%His character development and persona are relatable to lots of people in a good way
i think personally i agree a decent bit with this. like in the perspective of he does very well with the hand dealt to him. he pushes pretty well to make himself better to get past all the problems he may encounter. however, i personally just feel that as a character he is flawed. he was shown to us to be a quirkless child who wanted to be a hero. he was displayed to us in a way where he said he will show the world that you can be a hero even without a quirk.....just to be given the number one heroes quirk. so, all the mystery behind how he would do it were gone. a massive part of what could've driven his character was lost damn near immediately once he met all might, had a heart to heart with him, then simply was given the quirk after working for it. now its just he needs to master the quirk. which is fine in its own right. but i just dislike deku for feeling, disappointed in a way to what he COULD have been. a bad ass quirkless hero capable of bringing the best to their knees as a batman esque hero of anime. but as for what we were given, i agree. he needs more credit for what he is, and what he has to do to work towards his dream. either way, great video. i stumbled across you from this video and its very enjoyable so far, so keep it up.
When people say he's still a crybaby, I get pissed like bitch it's called character development.
oh i agree he one of my favourite character developments but the thing is people compare it to other anime characters
@@Elite_angel741despite his heroism he is still a man like all might
To be honest, people don't seem to understand how much baggage Deku has on his shoulders from his past and moving forward. Like shit- Deku was quirkless and belittled for 13/14 years. He trained to receive OFA, overworked himself, gained the quirk, was reckless because he never properly trained for it, of course he fucking cried. Not all of us are the same, some of us are just emotional people him crying has never really phased me tbh. Earlier seasons it was mostly for comedic effect but majority of the time moving forward it was justified based on the situation. Also yeah being a hero has its drawbacks, so many heroes quit after the war arc, so Deku started taking responsibilities more seriously and started taking everyone else problems and making it his own. He deserves so much fucking credit for his entire life up until now. Personally, if I was in his position, I would've given up long time ago LMAO. I can also relate because I cry a lot for different reasons. I really liked the explanations in this video, I don't have much to say cause I really do agree with everything haha. Great job!
So sad how people who hate can't get beyond their first impressions of the series.
The part about light and eren is the whole point. A lot of people nowadays think a character's quality is entirely based on how morally questionable they are or how many expectations they break. May god help your main character if he has "good" in his alignment, folks
I agree that Deku isn’t anywhere near the best or even one of the best MCs, but I don’t think Horikoshi wanted him to be that in the first place. He’s the perfect MC for a series like this, and I don’t have any issues with him as a character.
Izuku is one of the best MCs ever to me, but matter of opinion there and takes. He's the most relatable MC we've ever gotten
@@Swampert444 he’s definitely one of my personal favorites.
@@Swampert444 fr i dont get the hate over Deku being a crybaby. Hes like only 14-15 bro 😭
@@omnidrip84 exactly!!! Plus, was quirkless in a world full of powers, had an extreme bully, then given the ultimate power to being the only one who can defeat the lord of evil....yea, tears gonna be leaking at some points.
@@omnidrip84 I think people have gotten way to desensitized by mc's actually showing realism with emotions in series. Like Naruto, Asta, Luffy, Icihigo or most of Jojo mc'a bulldozing straight through most issues head on and almost always unrealistically positive or generic.
Deku def went from a mc i hated to one of the best new gen mcs imo
Deku is the GOAT.
Agreed
THANK-YOU!!! I almost can’t stand all those Deku-haters. It feels like They either want him to be a cynical and sadistic Hell-spawn like Eren Yeager, or a carbon-copy of Luffy or Naruto, (those guys are great MCs, but we don’t need EVERY Shonen protagonist to be the ultimate ADHD kid.) or a Batman knockoff, or a musclehead like Asta, etc. It’s like they’re dead-set on one specific character-type and can’t stand a character who’s more inspired by Peter Parker or Luke Skywalker. When I first started watching MHA, I got interested because I was told the creator was a Spidey and StarWars fan and it was basically a Japanese take on Western SuperHeroes, with a Peter Parker-ish Protagonist, so I knew what to expect going in. And hey, I love it! Deku quickly became one of my new favorite characters ever, and I think he’s a great example of OP Done Right! My other favorite characters are Hawks and AllMight, but I think Deku’s more than earned his role as the ChosenOne!👍
@@HaydenStephens515 why in the Hell people Hates Deku, he's a GOAT
@@Dragon-Catracho My thoughts exactly!
Wait they're people who thinks Deku is Trash. Why he is totally a Bad-Ass
I'm just mad that a lot of people really want Bakugo to kick the bucket in the latest arc. Even though all that change happened. Also, some people just wants MCs that are somewhat edgy and has dangerous mindset, like wtf is wrong with MCs that are kind, has emotions and sympathetic? lol
Reason why we want Bakugo to kick the bucket is that he hasn’t nearly made up for everything he’s done. His apology was horrible. He hasn’t done enough to make it up to Deku. Sacrificing his life would be the perfect way to end his character development instead of doing an a$$-pull to bring him back because of toxic fans.
@@dtaqt I don't see how bakugo's apology was bad, it was pretty good, bakugo dying in the middle of his development is kinda anti climatic since there is still potential. Bakugo is a solid character with a solid development.
@@nikamoreillus661 because instead of admitting he did wrong he came up with excuses, made everything about himself and victimised himself while trying to justify his actions. It was selfish and lacked any accountability
@@dtaqt everything wasn't about himself my guy, he was saying the reasons why he did it, just because there was a reason doesn't mean he's trying to excuse himself. Bakugo shows that the moment he got into ua, because of deku, he saw his weaknesses, because of deku, he saw deku's strength. Bakugo bullied deku because he always felt behind, so to make himself feel better about himself, he bullied and shoved deku away. Nothing he said was an excuse. "Instead of admitting he was wrong" yeah this entire phrase just shows you haven't even seen the damn apology, bro literally says "I'm sorry for everything izuku" you gotta be trolling my guy 😂
@@nikamoreillus661 have you seen the apology? The whole thing is literally excuse after excuse. He literally made the whole thing about himself and talked about his feelings and him. And you literally just proved my point. It doesn’t matter how Bakugo felt, that’s no reason to do what he did for years. Bringing it up to make what he did seem more excusable is wrong and so is victimising himself. The only thing he said right was I’m sorry. There was NO taking accountability for his actions and not to mention, this apology came tf out of nowhere bc Bakugo didn’t even show any signs of being sorry to Deku until S6. He was a jerk to Deku and the only reason why he didn’t beat up on him was A. He’d be excluded, B. His reputation would be ruined and C. Deku got stronger so he couldn’t even do that anymore. Watch his apology and tell me when he actually takes accountability. Word for Word.
It's so good to see someone defend Deku for once man! He's not like every other protagonist out there he feels more personal and sincere at least to me he always has. I grew up in the same kind of circumstances as Deku so seeing him grow and become better is hella inspiring.
I hate when people be like dEkU iS a CrYbAbY But when any other Mc cries they don’t give two shits But when deku shows a sight of tearing up people are just on him The double standards I swear
The biggest complaint I hear is Deku is boring, one dimensional, way too altruistic. That's the exact description of Tanjiro, but noone's gonna complain about HIM, cuz Demon slayer is SO COOL OMG LOOK AT THESE FLASHY ANIMATIONS. Deku being altruistic to the core is perfect for a classic super hero story like this. He was inspired by spiderman and is similar to him in personality.
@@dfactoropbr I kinda see Naruto in him He was born with nothing, and now has everything that the man he looked up to had and even more But Naruto isn’t criticized for that bc he’s apart of the big 3 and popular show People criticize bc it’s a trend, they even give a sufficient reason to hate Few days ago I meant person who said “mha is for the mentally ill” I’m not saying you have to like but I simply asked what’s wrong with it and the douche literally said “deku are all might’s hair” 💀 Imagine hating the show bc of a strand of hair and calling that weird When people like Eren ate his dad and sukuna ate his fingers to gain but hey no criticism for that
When you cry all the time the tears become meaningless,the dude is literally simping for his bully,not to mention he doesn't really have anything of his own,he's just a reflection of the people around him.The only time he felt like his own person was when he was fighting gentle criminal.
@@oru_malayaleezombie7329 90% of time he cries is when he with all might same person be admired who retire and have his role passed onto him That’s basically your role model giving you his/hero’s job And he looked up Bakugo bc he’s literally the only person to master his quirk He admires him bc they both admire the same hero He literally wanted a quirk, and Bakugo got it before him make him feel left out If feeling remorse is “simping” than there’s something else you need to take care of
@@ultimatezack6437 yeah there's caring for someone and hoping they are somewhat redeemable and just straight up taking verbal and physical abuse for years and feel no ill will towards them,like not even a bit of resentment but admiration of all things. The only people who are capable of feeling that way are the ones who haven't faced their shit in life. Deku is so idealistic,it's almost unbelievable,that's the point i was trying to make.
Izuku is far better than a lot of the "fan-favorite MC's". Obviously, not the bEsT oF aLl TiMe, but deserves more 🙂
I will say I really feel like his development should’ve been better towards the final act horikoshi sorta sidelines necessary progressions in deku’s mental state especially in villain hunt but even then deku deserves more credit
One thing I want to add is that Deku was 14-16 years late to have a quirk. So when he received OFA to become his quirk, totally makes sense for him getting the backlash from that quirk early on. But then the greates thing about him is that he develop and control that quirk quickly. Under a few months he found a technique where he can minimalized the potential for his bones to be broken throuhg Full-Cowling. Not only that, he also unlocked the other quirks that reside within OFA. All of them got unlocked in just nearly one year since he received OFA and entered UA. Ppl are saying "Well Deku has the slowest progression and development of his power amongst other series's protagonist" while in the actual MHA timeline it's still only a year. How about we compare him to Mirio?? Mirip himself struggles with his quirk until Middle School. That took him what, 14 years and that was still uncontrollable. I still don't get those Deku haters with their out of context and irrelevant points.
So, you are telling me that deku, a boy whom never ever had a quirk in his life, mastered OFA in a timespan of a year when Mirio whom had a quirk for his entire life, ends up struggling hard. Damn that’s some real good story telling here. Wow. Crazy. I’m shocked bro. Time to be serious. Honestly tho, that sounds completely bs. Why tf are you comparing Deku, the main protagonist, to Mirio, a person whom only purpose if to challenge Deku’s ideals. Everything you said is all about bashing Mirio. Mirio this Mirio that. Catch a break man. The thing about him getting powers in several months is because the author don’t plan this shit to be 500+ episodes. Unlike one piece, naruto, etc… they haven’t got their power ups until 100+ episodes later is because the author’s want the series to go on long, so your point make 0 sense. For full cowling, someone had to tell him that he could fucking USE his legs for him to figure out Full Cowling. Other wise do you think he could have done it? Those 2 points are the only ones you made and it’s just you hating on Mirio for not being strong enough when the author didn’t built him strong enough and arguing about the amount of time it took for him to get his powers which shouldn’t matter one bit since I can argue Goku solos deku even though the amount of episodes it took them to get their super power ups is basically the same. Stop hating on people for literally no reason. Don’t be so butthurt if anyone gave criticism on your baby boy. Learn to actually accept criticism and stop being such a baby about it. Lastly, don’t bring other animes into this because that’s literally the dumbest thing to do. You’ll just look super dumb and toxic which you are.
@@temp1894 lol, who's the butthurt here?? You are obviously the butthurt Mirio stan. That's what you get when you bashing other character.
@@temp1894 it's getting more fun here when you blamed Horikoshi for that matter. I honestly thought in S4 Mirio developed well. Hmm, maybe how about this. What if he found out that toxic people like you bashed Midoriya and trash talked him with "ohh, here's the real protagonist Mirio"?? And then decided to not show him again in the future BUT his editor forced him to bring him back especially during the war. Has that ever crossed in your mind like once?? Lol. Stay crazy, you Mirio stans.
@@Rensuke_Hero-gami Now you are getting delusional. I think you need a doctor, you might need an IEP for this one. When did I ever bashed the author for this. I never even mentioned him ONCE. Im also not mindlessly bashing deku here, but guess you can’t understand why so I won’t spend my time to explain it to you. I even NEVER mentioned that Mirio should be the main protagonist. I wrote specifically, that Mirio was created to challenge Deku’s ideals. And the situation with Mirio shouldn’t even be an issue, this is his story, he decide what’s best for it. Otherwise why is he writing a story in the first place. If he agreed with the editor’s point, it’s a whole other story but he’s not. And lastly, I already said it once, I’ll say it again. Don’t assume people are Mirio Stan’s just because they don’t agree with YOUR point of view. I think you are the crazy one here. Using logic won’t work on you.
@@temp1894 the situations he had made him master ofa and unlike other users like all might,he was breaking his bones
When Almight said for him to be a cop was to protect him, he is quite literally a cripple in the world of MHA. You wouldn't tell someone with no legs to join track.
There's some next-level irony in calling Deku, of all people, trash or worthless. To anyone who calls Izuku a trash character, go re-read the entire manga.
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! Deku is definitely the more human of the shonen protags and you totally nailed why!!!
W vid, in my very personal opinion I've always liked realistic protagonists who feel actually human that can make mistakes (like Midoriya) instead of the ones who feel like they're just perfect robots who do nothing but go forward.
Good vid, did touch on a lot of things people hate. I think you missed a big part tho, where people like me just find him annoying. He's always talking on about being a hero and how he wants to make everything perfect for everyone, and I just say in my head "Bro shut up". I think besides that, everything you said in the video is accurate, people tend to forget that deku is a realistic teenage mc with identity struggles and trauma. W vid none the less
I do touch on that by giving people like you the category of those who have understandable reasons. its nothing wrong with finding a character to be annoying but its the "why" ya know? I do agree people forget those things a lot. Thanks for watching :)
You know hes never once tried to make the world perfect for anyone he just wants to help people there's a big difference. he knows the world isn't black-and-white . That is also something that he has learned dealing with different types of villains along the way
he never claimed or said he wanted to make things perfect, or be a symbol of peace or "fix" society etc.. and yes he motivates himself. Like he says with Eri -- "how can I ever become a hero and save people if I can't even save one little girl". Because in their society you have to legally be a hero to use quirks to save people. When he was a kid he wanted to be a hero because it was "cool", now he selflessly cares only about protecting his comrades and saving/helping as many people as possible, to the point where it's detrimental to himself and his body... He's even grown sympathy for villains. That's why Lady Nagant and Stain said that he is the true definition of a real "hero". He's an emotional teenager who cares more about others than himself
I totally agree with Deku deserving more recognition. He suffers more than the average hero at his age. Even all night said Deku been through more than anything he went through. His determination to keep fighting or to save someone while breaking his literal bones and limbs is insane
I've been saying this for months, I feel like because some people didn't like Deku from the start they just didn't pay attention to Deku's moments as a whole throughout the story. So they don't see his development as a character and also don't take his age or background in account.
It's very common and it's unfortunate since he does have decent character progression as does some other characters.
People don’t like him because he no longer breaks his body when using OFA and how he’s getting all these extra quirks and now he’s “boring”
Wmurf goes crazy
People that say they hate deku usually can't see past the surface of his character They see him cry once and they're like "ugh how weak and pathetic, hes such a bad character" like men can't cry.. Men crying for a reason that holds heavy weight to himself is man enough for me.
Those same people hate Izuku for crying, yet they praise Tanjiro for crying
@@Karlos1234ify tanjiro is compassionate,he bears no ill will not even towards the demons that are constantly trying to kill him,but he doesn't le that stop him from doing what needs to be done. He even cries for some of the demons because he can empathize with them,he tries to understand the circumstances that would lead someone to become a demon. He's complex in a good way.
@@oru_malayaleezombie7329 Very true
The only complaint I have is that the author later on in the series started focusing way more on certain side characters and Deku gets pushed to the sidelines. I actually have always loved Deku. The things he did and the way he acts was always a great thing to me and this included his emotional side as well. I love black clover but as an example I prefer Deku over asta because I find asta to be more the type of MC that is not relatable or is a MC that is unrealistically "strong" mentally and physically. Deku was always the MC that was way more relatable to me as a human being because he cried and was humble and had doubts. Asta is the type of MC along with others like ichigo who were always strangely under emotional and unrealistically badass and headstrong. I just overall wish the series pushed for more development on his end compared to giving so much to others or at least I wanted horikoshi to make other characters development connect with deku's development more. You can technically argue that instead of this being Deku's story it is instead endeavors story. That is just how much focus endeavor has had. Instead of what happens with endeavor solo getting all of this screen time and development I would have preferred Deku getting development through more closely knit actions of him helping develop someone like endeavor. You can argue that if Deku didn't save shoto that shoto would have never gotten the development in order to develop endeavor and his family that is true but I wanted deku to be put in those specific situations in order to develop his growth way more drastically but instead he is put to the side and its solely focused on endeavor for all of that screen time. I wanted the entire story to be centered around Deku's journey and the things he directly influences. The story concentrates so much on hero society flaws and it not just being black and white. Certain situations and examples of that arise and it feels like part of them have deku being sidelined while they happen. I love the side characters getting developed and all but I wanted Deku to have more of a growth due to those side characters. The best thing that happened for Deku's development was the chapters he went on his own to stop villains. Those chapters amount to barely anything in the overall series. I think it was barely like 10 chapters that he got until he went back with the other class members. I didn't expect him to continue being solo and doing everything on his own but the focus and growth deku had in those very few chapters amounted to more than he has gotten over the entire series. Deku is a good MC but I think he got sidelined too much in his own series for the sake of putting too much focus on the other characters. Just my opinion. I still love him and the moments he has had.
I think we will get Deku's pov soon enough. I believe Hori doesn't want to make the same mistakes Kishimoto did with his side characters.
Totally understand why you'd feel this way. I've liked him too the over hate he gets is weird and it honestly just feels like the popular thing to do
Here's the thing. They don't like anime deku. Manga deku goes hard!
I've seen both. but for sure deku goes hard
Izuku is one of my favorite mcs ever I hate what’s happening recently in the manga. I like Bakugo and izuku very much I like how human they are and am tired of people comparing them to naruto and sasuke they are different and I love who they are
Most ppl that dislike Deku calls him a crybaby or just didn’t watch the series at all and just hate him bcuz of the fandom.
Or they read the chapters and didn't even understood the overarching story lol, just picked stuff as evidence of why deku is a bad mc out of context and call it a day
Ppl that don’t fw Deku just tryna fit in or some shit 💀 Bro cool af cus he goes from being a little Nerd too being an amazing hero!! Practically Peter Parker w Superman Strength 🔥🔥
Deku slander, aka "bro stop CRYING" *literally while he is breaking his bones*
Agreed, thank you for the hard work you put in to make these, I love your videos brother
deku is literally so spider-man how could you dislike him
People need to also go back and rewatch Onimaru's true meaning of what the "Greatest Hero" means in MHA video he made a while back and it connected to Izuku's message as a character. I strongly relate to it rewatch it still now, especially with the stuff coming up in the manga soon for the anime this 2nd half of the season. Since Onimaru was so spot on, I think its an amazing video still that worth revisiting and reunderstanding the true meaning message of Izuku's character and why he's the only who can rightfully be the MC and is such a great and amazing one at that. Watching that video by Onimaru clears alot on Izuku's character and misconceptions on him and My Hero and its messages as a whole and it directly being connected to our own lives in society as well. Horikoshi is simply a genius for making this story and the character, immense respect for him. Check out the video if you haven't already. Im gonna go rewatch it myself now.
Keep it up
Thank u bro! 🙏
Strong video! I’m excited to see what you make next!!
I feel like people hate Deku because they hate how he embodies us, no one who lost his dream will just be able to stand right back up and no one will be able to go through what he went without any emotional scarring
I mean yeah but you're putting it the wrong way.
I think thats some of where it comes from too. Some folks gravitate more towards characters that are more like who they WANT to be vs who they really are.
or maybe because they couldn't sit through the first season? Deku in S1 is unbearable
@@user-op5gr7vr7e why? I thought he was a pretty relatable guy in S1, but I'd like to hear your opinion, if you'd like to as well.
@@whatadistinguishedgentlecat because he kept talking about how he wanted to be a hero, but had never actually put in the work to achieve his dream until All Might, and before you say "but he never received any encouragement" or anything of the sort, it doesn't matter, if he truly cared about being a hero he would have done out in the work with or without encouragement because that's a hero does, even when everyone thinks they are dead and that they can't win a hero moves forward
putting more respect on my goat!! 🐐
Beautiful vid! Well thought out points too
Great video, man! Deku definitely isn't trash, he is a good protagonist and serves his role in the story really well.
SMURF THE GOAT W
I can't watch the video because I haven't read the manga, but W title, one of my favourite protags. If you ever do Naruto, DB, Bleach and ect I'll look forward to it!
all are coming soon :)
Thank you hope the people who hate deku see this video
The crying take is stupid because some people want more MCs to cry and find more relatable and love him for it and some people toxicly hate it and will never like him. So it just depends on you and your personal values there, but shallow reasons to hate a character is toxic, dumb and immature and the character doesn't deserve that. But toxic masculine people will never understand that unless they change. It's up to them really, regardless he's a Goat and cried comfortably before they did. It's not a weakness for him and never will be.
First off? Subbed. Second? Thank you for making this video. As someone who is a big time Deku fan I know and understand deku is not perfect but he gets way to much hate and the argument is typically the same with no real depth. "He cries too much" "He's soft" "His power isn't earned" All of these are either false or hyperbole because they expect deku to be like Luffy or Naruto a lot of the time but he just isn't. I've said it time and again but I'll say it again DEKU IS ANIME SPIDER-MAN. Hell he's also probably the closest thing Shonen will get to a power ranger as possible if you ask me. He's virtuous, kind, compassionate and emotional. Empathic to a fault and will do anything to save someone in need. But at the same time when he's angry or determined? He's a MONSTER so much to the point that civilian's were telling legends about him and villains ran at the sight of him. Deku is a great character and I wish people wouldn't judge him so harshly and like I said I do understand he's not perfect and there are definitely some things I would change if I was writing the character but ultimately its not my story to tell. Anyway. Good video 😎👍
hahaha :D i appreciate u watching and subbing. there will be more mha content to come. and i def agree on the spiderman take horikoshi admits he loves Marvel and DC so alot of the characters we see are inspired of them
@@YaBoiSmurf no worries and yeah Hori most definitely is a marvel and DC fan with some of the art he's done recently. Like he's has Batman references, Spiderman references and Superman references with Deku and you love to see it. Not to mention people sleep on his powers a lot which I don't understand
Imagine creating a character which is smart and has gone through development and is super strong and uses his brain for difficult situations is really a great character
I think the biggest problem is how long everything takes. The series runs for 5+ years, but he's still 16 years old! It just doesn't keep up with the core reader base at all! It'd be much easier for the fans to relate to him if he was already 20 or something, it would also greatly help mitigation the power creep problem. But it's a big problem for manga in general, to be fair, not just MHA
He's at least 17 and real world time doesn't matter
first time here shits lit, keep it up bro
To be honest, Deku is not that bad of a protagonist because he certainly deserves One For All. My only main problem with Deku is how he didn't even train or learn some martial arts before he met All Might. Deku wanted to become a Pro Hero, well then why not train since he was young? Deku should've been like Asta from Black Clover.
Well the thing is, he never had a reason to in his mind. He feels worthless, so a person of that mindset even IRL will think there's no need to do certain things for themselves and in this particular situation that would be training. If he has no quirk, in that world you're viewed as useless by comparison so training to him would also be that-- useless. OFA gave him all the reason he wanted/needed to do such a thing
Just here to remind you that there is a big difference between Asta's and Deku's childhood. Asta lost his mom (i wondered where is his dad) and was nurtured by the church. Deku on the other side is not that tragic, hes still got his mom(maybe also his dad). But, the thing is Asta got true emotional support and inspiration from his best friend/rival Yuno, which encouraged him a lot, which Deku never had until he got into UA. He was bullied by his childhood friend, no one ever believed him, even his mom. Deku didnt actually have any close relationship at that time beside Kacchan and his mom, but his mind still didn't give up. And you know Asta's world dont required much education since it was operated by magic, and that was when Asta got a lot of time to train, and his situation at that time is quite chill, no war, no devils and beautiful scenery. But Deku's world is similar to that of us, he needed to go to school and study and faced many other problems (bully, stress,...) so he got less time and got stressed easily( it seemed his childhood memories were only some All Might videos and his mom). And dont ever say Deku didn't train, it just that he didn't focus on training muscles, it seemed he focused on gaining knowledge, noted everything about heroes and analysed, he also studied a lot, and that makes the most obvious difference between him and Asta, while Asta has insane pure strength, Deku has insane intelligence and strategic thinking. And theres quite a lot of examples that Deku's schedule is quite busy, remembered when he has to trained his arms in class or while doing homework, and he barely got time to run, thats why he usually run in the late evening and early in the morning). Anyway, this is just my observation and personal opinion, i love both of the animes, it just that i faced so many comparisons between these two and mostly the critics are towards Deku, so I just want give a fairest comparison. Thanks for reading and enjoy the anime :3

Yep, he’s definitely a misunderstood character and he’s my favourite anime MC
Maybe you should put a list of the anime and manga you’re caught up on somewhere. In a video description perhaps. If you’re going to be covering a wide range of anime and manga you know it might be nice for viewers to know what that could possibly be.

First of all deku cannot be loved by everyone, because each individual has different tastes, like come on, there's people saying that berserk and Fullmetal are trash animes That being said imma say the most frequent arguments of haters He cries too much: Indeed he does, but most part of it is used as comical source, you can count with your fingers the times that deku actually cried seriously He develops slowly: Don't compare the chapters quantity to the time in the series, barely a year has passed since deku got into UA, he's grown a lot People make so much emphasis on how he was a mid-normal protagonist which I kinda agree, but the problem comes when they don't recognize that currently he's an excellent one, those are the kind of people that will judge you their entire lifes for a mistake you did long ago Btw the plot could have moved faster if hori wanted but if he want to milk it's anime we can't do nothing about it 🤷♂️ He's a green Naruto: This is the most random one like they are the opposite, talking about power one gets a bless and the other a curse, about dream deku at first had the typical "I want to be the best" but then changed to "I want to save everyone" to lastly becoming like uraraka "I want to save every person *that I'm able to"* He's willing to kill shigaraki in order to bring peace to tenko Took him a eternity to start throwing kicks: Let's be honest, do inexperienced people throw kicks or punches on a fight? Obviously punches, he went for the easiest first He didn't train to be powerful: He did, but it doesn't get many emphasis, like when he was out of dorms doing hundreds of kicks to master shoot style, fighting morning, evening, day and night with villains when he became a vigilante, and many other scenes that aren't remembered due to being really short
Well the thing is i never make the claim that he should or can be loved by everyone. I just explain why he deserves more credit and go over some things i typically hear. No character can be loved by everyone, but all characters can be at least treated fairly whether someone likes him or not. I do appreciate you watching the video, and youre right theres many hateful arguments out there which was the reason for my vid in the first place lol
@@YaBoiSmurf Yup I agree on ya, I said the everyone not liking a character to make clear that no matter how good a character is there will be haters, sometimes less or more than they should be which in this case there are more than should In short response to your video instead of recognition I'd say less hate because majority of deku fans don't overrate or underrate him, they just say he's a very good protagonist currently
The so-called hardcore weebs only like edgy, emo, unsympathetic protagonist. They like to see the emotionless characters in stories. Well, maybe some kind of self-insert or even trying to look superior with their weird complexity.
PEAK PEAK PEAK
Deku is like that kid who got a growth spurt and got recruited to the football or basketball team late he has the talent but he doesn’t have the experience
Good video, I agree with most if not all things you said. Also, the video quality is great!
Deku's a good boi. Just binged the manga and could some things be better? Sure. But is it a good time and him a good boi? Also yes

The day the fandom stops seeing deku as a innocent pure cinnamon roll that must be protected at all costs is the day the fandom becomes a little little better
But to be fair, that's all his character has going for itself. Without that he is just another boring shonen protag.
@@triatomicmango6571 but that’s not the real deku, that’s a fake fanon personality that the fandom made for deku. He’s not some sweet innocent cinnamon roll baby that needs to be protected, he’s a strong determined young hero who’s kindness and selflessness allows him to put others before himself even at the cost of his own body and the power that was entrusted to him. But to the fandom and the general audience that makes him “bland, boring and generic”, a lot of the characters personalities are to basic and boring for the fandom so they exaggerated bits of their personality and add in non canon things that make them look and feel more interesting to them, but it’s actually done the opposite and made them seem one dimensional, like a completely different character from what they were originally, and toxic
@@Flugel_Pendragon The fandom exaggerating his personality makes sense as that is unfortunately what a lot of fandoms do. However it becomes a problem when the general audience starts doing it as well just to find something interesting about this boring shell of a character. Of course i mainly blame the writers for seemingly having a boner for Bakugo with how they try to put so much emphases on how "cool and strong" he is, to the point where Midoriya won't shut up about how much he "respects" him, even though we ALL know he only cares about Bakugo's quirk. In fact my biggest issue with Midoriya is how he doesn't challenge anyone's idea of him not being able to be a hero. He truly doesn't believe he can be a hero without a quirk no matter what he says otherwise, and the show agrees by just giving him a "get out of jail free card" with One-For-all. It feels so cheap that the show doesn't introduce a "Rock Lee" kinda character that shows that Midoriya took the "easy" way out with All Might, since he sure wasn't working out or training to become a hero before he met All Might.
@@Flugel_Pendragon All im saying is Deku is lazy Fanboy and that's all he was, and that All Might was WAAAAAYYY too hasty in choosing him as a successor.
@@triatomicmango6571 I don’t think taking 5+ years to find a person is being “too hasty”

New smurf vid🐐
Well honestly I'd say that Deku is an awesome character, this guy has a really strong will, a lot of courage, a strong Heroic nature, a really Kind heart and a selfless nature His character attitude is similar to that of Spider-Man, and That's why I'd say that Deku is an awesome character
He's one of the best Shonen MCs ever of all time in my opinion and I strongly relate to him personality wise myself. He's misunderstood like Goku and other MCs out there and has to deal with this toxic anime community and immature toxic takes that the character doesn't deserve really. He's the most accurate timid emotional nerd to people like me or others sensitive and analytical and awkward like him in real life. And his development is very accurate too. His character is changing the world and making an impact in this toxicity each day and he's great for that as well in my book. Don't take a great and relatable character like Izuku for granted, we won't get another MC like him and people will regret it once it's over. It's funny the various takes you have with the character with being he's a great MC and one of the best of all time or I hate him and he's the worst, which stranglely think what makes him also such an amazing character too, that constant push and pull between positive and negative takes and reactions he gets. Like all MCs, he's not perfect but he is great and well written and accurately written too. Izuku is an excellent MC in my book and very relatable.
I rock with this comment heavy.
@@YaBoiSmurf Thx man and respect for being a goat and putting respect on Izuku before anyone else in this toxic climate with him that you sometimes see online. Hence you making this video. Defending and putting respect on my boy, your the Goat. But yeah by the end of My Hero, both in manga and anime. It seems pretty clear Izuku will come out on top, and all the toxic takes will age poorly that come out with his character directly resisting their toxic values and personal world view and other type of characters they praise over him. Most people love Izuku so non of this matters too much in the end, toxic Deku haters are just a loud minority. And now I always like to say, toxic Deku haters are basically Bakugo, especially season 1. Which makes Izuku an even more greater character looking back if you think about it, along with Bakugo, and Horikoshi's Goated writing. That entire toxic dynamic is directly reflecting toxic people's take on the character in real life. Its truly something if you think about it.
When I first started this manga I was hoping Deku would become anime Batman
he technically does become anime's spiderman lol

I really like Deku as a character tbh
Fun Fact 1: Many places with Gators in Florida, put up signs with rules stating it is illegal to have intercourse with them. Fun Fact 2: *This is necessary.*
Gators do be Gatin

When did black clover get into this? And why tf you so mindlessly toxic.
@@temp1894 why the hell you mindlessly bashing Deku here and compare him to Mirio and Asta too??🤔
@@Rensuke_Hero-gami Also, when did I ever compare his to asta? Don’t take what you said and put it inside my mouth.
@@temp1894 duhh, you're protecting your bitch Asta here so that's one
@@Rensuke_Hero-gami Yeah you are a fucking dumbass. Good luck.
Liked Deku for a few episodes, then he annoyed the hell out of me until season 6, and now I like him.

great vid
Thank you! :D
Deku is the most eroic mc ever he would literaly die to save others/anyone in my opinion is the example of what everyone should be or inspire to be, that's why is the greatest hero not because of his abilities (I think his personality is inspired by his zodiac sign: cancer because is shy, insecure, sensible, caring on top of that is smart, so smart for a mc and a nerd, so all of this plus is the most eroic person you can be, for me he's perfect, at the beginning you may dont like him but if you put in his shoes its completely understandable and you have to admire what he really is as a character. If you cant than you dont know how hard it is for Deku to realize his dream and be aknowledged by his idol the greatest hero ever and he becoming the new greatest, its a powerfull feeling for a kid with no quirk and only his hope and dreams
Discord Server When?
:) Maybe after I get more subs. as the community here grows ill reconsider.
@@YaBoiSmurf Gotcha, let me know if you need any help with such. Building a Community online can be pretty fun and a tad bit hard 👀
