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.
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...
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?
@@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.
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.
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
100% agree and is the reason I felt like I had to make this video, people who hate on him because he has emotions and acts like a real human would is so wrong and they completely miss the point of his character.
A person who cries over exaggerated and loud as hell is Zenitsu. Somehow people like him more than Deku. (Zenitsu fans gonna kill me but oh well) Deku is much more quieter and more mature, I don't get how people find Deku a crybaby- 😭
@@Hatsunkiso I mean not trying to hate but I have watched demon slayer and Zenitzu does cry but a lot less then you would think.in the last season he doesn’t cry but the reason people think he cry’s so much is because his character is supposed to be so mature he supposed to be a character that can go into a fight and have no fear.

His determination: (lose his powers and gives up his dream of becoming a hero and only goes back to it after six years of doing nothing and having being gifted an easy path to success
@@caratrevoso3347 He didn't give up on his dream, he was still working hard to achieve that goal a be a hero without his power as we see at the end, and I guess if you want to call teaching the next generation how to be heros is nothing then fair play
@@caratrevoso3347 Yes he lost his power and became the greatest hero in the process by defeating the great evil. And then he took up teaching the next generation of heroes. While still being able to pursue his dream thanks to his relationships with his former classmates. He's determined to make the world a better place. He's determined to keep people safe.
I know this was posted a while ago, but when I was rewatching MHA a while ago during his training with All Might, I did 700 pish ups that night like the inspiration was real.
There’s people who claim he’s actually selfish and not heroic because he wanted a quirk like everyone else and didn’t just become a police officer. Or that Bakugou’s bullying was justified Lmao These people are beyond hope
Part of why I think MHA is peak is because of Deku being a great role model. It's okay to cry, empathize, work hard, struggle and think through your problems. He's breaking the mold of the conventional shonen protagonist in a big way. The same people that dislike Deku are often the people who want more classic male fulfillment roles like Luffy, Naruto, Goku, etc. Empty head, be silly, eat food, be born powerful, always win. MHA has reached a greater demographic due it's modern ideals and I'm glad to see it pushing Shonen tropes forward.
It's like deku doesn't even care about his own safety but cares about others instead of his own the amount of times this man has broken his bones and almost died and still worried about someone else being hurt
@@manusia-hk4xd yeah. Deku is just an ordinary kid born without a quirk so it makes sense how he's the normal one compared to the kids/teenagers that are in a different anime Mha world is based on the real world but with powers, and they gotta know that, people crying in mha reflects on how people cry in real life aswell
You can't forget he never had a quirk. This reason means he grew up thinking he couldn't ever be one of the greatest heroes and even then he got over it (a bit). So when he cries on a scene just remember that's the quirkless part of deku showing.
I love that Deku's a "crybaby"--it makes him relatable and human. It also helps break down that idea that strong heroes need to be stoic or always confident, because living constantly like that is in reality so exhausting.
Out of all of the new gen main protagonists, Deku is by far my favorite main character. MHA was the first Shonen anime i ever saw and i still enjoy it. I am glad someone made a video about how deku is actually a good main character
@@HiddenSH_ if i don't like a character i am allowed to hate it doesn't make me dumb lol there is reasons why i hate deku and its mainly because of the fandom and their cosplay and cringe stuff they do that makes me hate the character
@@faygoz2fandom is not a valid reason to hate a character, hating a character because of a fandom is like saying “oh well I saw one person saying this artist is bad so it must be true haha” you can’t say that something is bad when you haven’t even seen the source material
I used to be someone who was bullied and mistreated a lot. My classmate did one nice thing for me once, and you know what? YEAH, I CRIED. After years of getting hurt by everything in his life, it checks out that kind people can stir emotions in Deku. That HAPPENS. Also.. HE'S A GODDAMN TEENAGER!
THANK YOUUUUU!!! FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS!! Ofc getting bullied would fuck you up, so someone finally showing you kindness would probably make you cry, especially when he is a KIDDDDDD
@@Genichris facts his redemption arc is amazing and they handle it so realistically, his family dont suddenly change and act like nothing ever happened it takes time, and repeated effort
A reason I enjoy Deku as a mc is because of his reasoning for why he is how he is the parallels and relatability with the other cast mainly the villains his kindness has reason with wanting to give people hope and a smile like all might does
even though I haven’t watched much of mha but I can definitely say people who say that deku isn’t good character can NOT argue that the manga drawings of him are absolutely incredible
I mean if i am bullied for 10 years straight for something i cant control and my idol being the only person not even my mom saying i can be hero and then he gives a nobody like me such great power and even after getting it i am breaking all my bones just too fight i would be crying too😐 Like obvislously he crying because the kid lacks self confidence and after 10 months training his ass off earning ofa he always balieved he was blessed. Like i can talk a while why deku is my top 3 mc but most hate for deku is genually stupid
I agree with you the hate is stupid and doesn't make sense imo, if people took the time to look at it from Deku's perspective ofc he would cry, hes not only human but still a child who had to go through so much at such a young age
@@HiddenSH_ if i don't like a character i am allowed to hate it doesn't make me dumb lol there is reasons why i hate deku and its mainly because of the fandom and their cosplay and cringe stuff they do that makes me hate the character
@@faygoz2bro is really repeating this over and over again on many different comments. 😂 How low can you go. 🤣 like, chill, he heard you the first time.
Man is the goat . One of the few people that actually understands one of the best anime created Man this anime has been brought down just because of the first few episodes and cough * fan service*. But it's one of my favourite animes never the less
Another complaint I hear is "he's too perfect" and all I can think is "ARE YOU UNWELL?!" BECAUSE YOU CAN'T LOOK AT EVERYTHING HE DOES AND SAY HE'S PERFECT. He's not even a Gary Stu, he's just powerful! Some traits don't a Sue make! Edit: also, I've heard people complain he's a static character. First of all, no he's not, two, I'm pretty sure people still like Luffy and Toph, and even they aren't completely static.
Honestly my only complaint about him is that he feels underdeveloped compared to other characters in the show even though he’s the MC but I still love him.
I'm glad you still love him like I do, but can I ask why you feel he's under developed? He's a fairly stagnant character who's main purpose is to be the source of good and a hero but I think they still developed and explored a lot in the later half of the show
I grew with marvel and dc (I still love them in all mediums) but Deku has become my favorite superhero of all time. Possibly even my favorite character of all time. The combination of his innate goodness and his push to challenge his own limiting beliefs inspires me everyday
I think I still have a couple heroes (Batman, Flash, Spiderman) above him for me, but he is defo top 3 when it comes to heroism and the representation of goodness
@HiddenSH_ Spiderman for sure, Batman, Green Lantern is great (I'm more familiar with John Stewart from the JL animated series) and the MCU has really made me a big Captain America fan (both Steve and Sam). Oh and I can't forget Ms. Marvel and Jean Grey!
@@Spartan-qw2tr I'm also a big green lantern fan, super underrated! Im excited for the new captain america movie coming up, and Ms. Marvel im not super familiar with outside the MCU films and Jean Grey is a classic!
People who say this are forgetting that some MC’s in their Favorite shows has also cried just like izuku, take luffy for god’s sake, he just was crying a good bit after sabaody and the paramount war with the death of ace
One got bullied but the other lost his brother after all that effort in an entire war where so many lives were lost on both sides. People like you are just hypocrites with the hating on MC’s.
AND THEN TANJIRO!?!? LIKE, GROW UP! If you can't take someone crying in a show where people are WILLING to d13 for others and that have g0r3y scenes, that sounds like a you problem!
@@Alex_Lennyboo-n1v good point, this is just another reason why people should realize that their favorite people also cry, F’ING GROW UP YOU ANIME SNOTS
@@makbookproI'm not sure if I dead you wrong but Schoold was never hating he was just stating facts and deku has more than just being "bullied" to cry about.
if i don't like a character i am allowed to hate it doesn't make me dumb lol there is reasons why i hate deku and its mainly because of the fandom and their cosplay and cringe stuff they do that makes me hate the character
@@jacksparrow9227 when in episode one he considered doing as Bakugo says and killing himself, at least in the manga version chapter one, he very clearly thinks to himself that maybe he should go on Kermit’s sewer slide
I find that people are too hard on characters who cry a lot. Deku isn’t annoying or whiny, he’s just a very emotional person in a way that I find to be endearing. In later seasons, his crying happens at very impactful moments, and others cry too when the time calls for it. There’s so much stigma around (especially male) characters outwardly showing vulnerability, which for a person like Deku, who wears his heart in his sleeve, makes complete sense.
The thing is that he is an emocional kid… but its not a bad thing. It is what lets him connect to others and to many it makes him a more inspiring hero than even All Might
@@HiddenSH_ Yes but it´s not just because he is a kid. Most of Deku´s arc is about becomeing more breave and confident but also about doing so in a way that is true to himself and not necesarily to All Might. The entier point of the Overhaul arc is the fact that Mirio would be the perfect All Might 2.0, but Deku has a chance to make somehing better because he isn´t like All Might. For example, after he talks with Todoroki and Iida in that arc Deku says he shouldn´t cry because heroes (All Might) don´t cry, and Shoto tells him that sometimes even heroes need to cry, becuase he undesratands Deku´s strength and power as a hero is conected to his emotions
@@ManiacForStorysyMusi 10000% a great point, you even see the difference in the flashback in that arc where you see All Mights refusal to show emotions and weakenss by taking time off despite Nighteye's warning about what would happen to him, whereas when Deku comes back to UA he allows himself to get help and for everyone to see him beaten and broken down, it's because they aren't the same that he can be more
People will hate Deku because he's a crybaby..... Then those same people will like some edgy irredeemable characters just because they are "cOOL" and sh.t.
They are saying people like Ayanokoji are their goat or favorite character, now that I think about it, Deku and Koji are exact opposites. A lot of people who hated on the show liked the vigilante arc so much because he didn't show much emotion.
You just earned a subscriber. Im so sick of people hating on MHA and Deku for the stupidest reasons, or just for the sake of hating, or just because people hating on it is starting to become a trend or something like that. (Of course, there are some people who don’t like MHA or Deku for some actually good and understandable reasons though. Thank you if you’re one of those people). The MAIN reasons (from what I’ve seen) people hate on MHA and Deku is because of the terrible fandom and because Deku is annoying and a “crybaby”. Like, 1. Yes it’s true that the fandom sucks, but thats the FANDOM not the SHOW. The show itself is so good and interesting. Obviously, it has some flaws here and there, but so does literally everything else, no show is perfect. Don’t judge a show based on the fandom. I watched MHA knowing how bad the fandom is, and i was hesitant, but still watched it anyways, and i absolutely love it. Same thing happened with JJK. Thats when i learned to not judge an anime based on the fandom, and to just ignore the fandoms. 2. Honestly, i never even noticed how much Deku cries until i started seeing people complaining about it. And Deku stops crying a ton after season 2. But so what if he cries? He has emotions, and thats what makes him relatable and human. And all the times he cries are all for actually understandable and good reasons (aside from like 2 or 3 moments in season 1 and 2 but they were mostly gags, which is fine because gags are fun and almost every anime has them), like his friends getting hurt/dying, nearly dying from a villain, going through a hard time, etc. I mean, think about it. If you went through ALL the things Deku has been through, you would probably cry a lot too. I know i for sure would. So many people just want the MC to be one of those emotionless and tough MC’s rather than something relatable and actually realistic. Theres nothing wrong with the emotionless and tough MC’s, but we already have a ton of those, i mean, they are cool yeah, but its just super hard to relate to them, and theres nothing wrong with having an actually relatable MC either. I also feel like it just would not fit with the vibe of the show AT ALL if Deku was emotionless and tough. DISCLAIMER: Im not saying people cant dislike MHA or Deku, its fine if you do. Im just saying, please dont have stupid reasons for it. (Mad respect for you if you read all this. I did not realize how long this was, and i apologize, but i just wanted to share my thoughts. 😂)
After watching evangelion Yeah before watching Jojo when I was invested in MHA I never hated midoriya It’s like calling a guy who acts all serious cause he just wants to look cool an emo (Jotaro Kujo) Yet knowing damn well there’s characters that are actually truly emo And truly crybabys
The only thing i disliked from deku is that he never trained before meeting All Might. Like he was quirkless, and wanted to be a hero with what? He had no fighting skill, no rescuing skill, and probabily below avarage physical stats. But the rest of the character is great
Even though he didn't train his body he was training his mind well, like do you realize how hard it is to pick up 6-7 other quirks in the short amount of time he had?
I don't hate deku because of crying it's a human thing to do but the vigilante arm had me hyped as deku was succumbing to the burden he placed on himself just for it to go to waste by classmates he has been with for less then a freaking year man
Yeah put yourself in deku shoes imagine being born in a world were everyone has superpowers except you but you still want to be a superhero but everyone even your own mother dont think you can do it you get bullied for 10 years and finally you have the chance to accomplish something with your life are telling me that people wouldn't be crying if that happened to them
to me it's not about him being a crier i get why he cries but the little shit hardly ever gets angry. like come on he has to have a shit load of pain and resentment built up but he rarely ever gets angry and when he does it almost immediately goes away
@@makbookpro The norm are quirks... Have been for decades now. But yes, him being quirkless was a blessing in disguise since it would shorten the lifespan of the user by a hefty amount if they had a quirk before obtaining OFA.
if i don't like a character i am allowed to hate it doesn't make me dumb lol there is reasons why i hate deku and its mainly because of the fandom and their cosplay and cringe stuff they do that makes me hate the character
@@faygoz2Yeah, but the fandom being….. the way they are is not a good reason to hate deku. He’s a great mc, if not one of the best out of the newer mangas/animes
Ngl I’m pretty sure Deku might have some kind of mental illness cause the only time he cries is when he’s being scolded, but when he breaks his arm, he doesn’t utter a peep he could just be an emotionally unstable teen.
My colleague hates him because Deku's good qualities shades him or rubs him off a certain way. Cool guy, but can't seem to get along well with empaths.
Thank you 🙏 finally someone understands that deku ain't a cry baby most characters are aloud to cry and calling deku a cry baby I mean hell the show makes a joke calling him a cry baby hero so if anything him being considered a cry baby is a good thing cause he has emotions
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!
He didn't physically train but he still had notes on every single hero he knew. 13 notebooks with extreme detail on heroes is a lot of effort. He continued to write notes on even his classmates to understand how they can work together and how they could improve their quirks. If he didn't care this much about quirks he wouldn't have been able to handle the other quirks within one for all so well
@@HiddenSH_ if i don't like a character i am allowed to hate it doesn't make me dumb lol there is reasons why i hate deku and its mainly because of the fandom and their cosplay and cringe stuff they do that makes me hate the character
Deku got to be new gen mc that gets mistaken by ppl, being “emotional” makes him crybaby? Ig ppl just enjoy fightings and animation and they do not care abt writing or understanding the character, and oh boy don’t even make me start on the mha ending the amount of ppl be spreading misinformations is actually crazy and they make that deku that he got dirty on 😭, “all for nothing” “gave up on his dreams” you just know thoose ppl are just spreading misinformation and he EVEN stated in the manga that he achieved his dreams and they be saying all for nothing but later on they gave “TikTok knowledge” reasons, they obviously don’t read, in old gens ppl were reading and understanding writing but now it’s just ppl spreading misinformation and don’t even understand the story they only care abt fights and animation.
Bro, you’re so right and all levels of aspect because I’ve heard so many people talk about how they hate this show because of how the main character is a crybaby and you’re literally describing why he is a great character
The same people bullying Deku and calling him a crybaby are the same people hating on Bakugou in season 7 for his first line in the first episode 😅 Just say you hate the show and move on. Leave them alone.
I like that he starts as a bit of a crybaby and scaredy-cat. It helps him stand out from your standard shounen Goku clones. I also love that he starts as a glass cannon (that might not be the right term to describe it, but he has a powerful ability that also hurts him), having to be strategic with how he uses his power. However, the ending REALLY did him dirty and this one 4Chan post sums it up perfectly. I don’t want to spoil the ending though
One more stupid thing I also say people hate this series is mostly drawn from the Fandom. A fandom doesn't determine how well written the series is or how much you like the series. Honestly, people will find any reason to hate on this series or a character
@HiddenSH_ That's honestly why I don't associate with the Fandom of the series, mostly due to people ending up hating me for thinking I enjoyed the Fandom when that is far from the case, the series is actually well written and deserves a lot more credit than what people actually give it, sure, it fell off after season 4 ended and didn't pick back up until the Vigilante Arc, but I honestly loved the series (even though I almost dropped the series as a whole after what happened to Bakugo in season 7, for context, Bakugo is my favorite character)
@@copper-dragons I can understand that because some fanbases have a bad rep but I always just separate the 2 so if someone tells me they like MHA or whatever I never assume they are like some of the crazy fans lol but I'm glad you didn't drop the series and kept going"!
@HiddenSH_ trust me, I am far from being anything like the people who are most commonly found in the Fandom, I usually disassociate with any Fandom of any anime series because you are bound to find a lot of degenerates who take their love of the series way too far, sure, I keep up with anime news, watch the anime, and occasionally collect manga, but that's as far as I'll go
@@copper-dragons Yeah I think people just assume everyone is the same but like you and me there are a lot of people who just like the anime or manga and dont involve with anything else lol
Ten years! Ten years of being bullied and yet people hate on Deku and call him a cry baby? Excuse me? I have experienced bullying before in my life and I'm saying this now, it SUCKS! I don't know how Deku handled ten years of being put down and hurt. By season six, it's clear that he needs therapy. Ever since I got into MHA, I have found that Deku is so relatable. I love his kindness, his sacrifice to protect thoughs in need. He's just a great MC. Please, stop hating on him. He really went through hell in his life and I wish people would keep that in mind. I know that not all characters are perfect but calling Deku a crybaby just because he cries for good reasons and at good times seems a little extreme. Either way, Deku is personally my favorite character.
Amazing vid! Love that someone who actually understands Deku speaking out on such blatant mis-characterisation (also doesn't help when so many in the anime community specifically will just formulate opinions on what the majority say 😅). Deku is honestly one of the best MCs for me and it's a shame he's been put in such bad light so I appreciate him getting the recognition he deserves by anyone. Plus your One Piece video was great as well and I think you got what I personally felt in how you just fall in love with it without even noticing. Glad I found your channel n I'll definitely stick along w you bro 🦍💙
Bro Deku’s training to handle ofa was the reason why during quarantine I started calisthenics, and after quarantine during 2023 he was mainly the reason why I went to the gym to get an even better physique.
Hot take but I feel people hate mha because of how it calls out society how it doesn’t beat around the push openly talking about segregation, discrimination, bullying, suicide, abuse, abusive parenting, child endarterment and such they all have have realistic struggles and impacts one thing they don’t realize is that in MHA “SCARS” play a huge roll the emotional and physical on izuku through hardships and training, the scar on Bakugos peirced heart, Todorokis left face, the Skin on Dabi, each scar from endeavor, Allmights weakend form, the stab wound on Ururaka, aizawas eyes and legs , mirio losing his quirk and so on so many impactful moments are missed probably intentionally because people cannot accept the realism
I think this is such a great point from you, so many things in MHA especially the longer the series goes on gets so real and relatable but people struggle to see it or even refuse to because of how heavy some of the topics are.
He lost his powers in order to save everyone. He gave up his dream of becoming the number 1 hero (though he technically did achieve it). everything he worked for, he threw it all away to save everyone, and yet he’s hated for it. He’s ridiculed by the fandom for this. Deku is easily one of my favourite mc’s, and he always will be
And people also complain that “ohhh, he gave up immediately after the embers were gone”, my guy he didn’t. Like it was clear in the last chapter that he didn’t give up, he just didn’t have the funding needed to get a suit built for him to use. And that’s also the reason why he became a teacher to help the future generation in his own way that he can handle. And people hated him for that. Like if he did give up immediately after loosing the embers then he wouldn’t have been so eager to immediately getting back on the field with his friends after receiving the suit
@@andrewswannsproposal I agree with that, Deku was never about the embers he always wanted to be a hero no matter what and if he has a suit or anything that allows him to help people he will always help no matter what
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.
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?
This is the first video I've seen of you, and I want to say you did a great job on it. The editing and the way you present everything is very entertaining. You got a new subscriber. Deku is far from a crybaby with how much he goes through and male sensitivity should be more normalised.
Aww thank you so much for the compliment, I'm glad someone enjoyed the video I made!! I hope I can make more videos you enjoy!! He is not a crybaby in the slightest and even if he does who cares
I love Deku. Is it wrong to say that I'm tired of protagonists who barely showed their hand emotionally? Does seriously there are characters out there who show off their kind and compassionate side so little and show don't tell isn't redeeming them one bit. It's to the point where the full moon happens more often than we see a character is Heart of Gold meanwhile we have Deku whose Heart of Gold is always exposed year-round.
14:36 i think afo is truly unsavable, he didnt grow up to slowly turn evil like shigaraki, he was born and immedietly chose violence, literally, from the moment he was born he thought that the whole world was a playground and the people were his toys, all might had no choice, there is NOTHING to save, hes evil incarnate
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.
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
@@lovableairheadmile6809 LOL that was mainly for the title and if people hate him because he cries because that is stupid, if you just dont like him fair enough
one tiny mistake you made that Izuku wants to save people with a smile on his face and not becoming the number 1 hero. Sure he wants to become like All Might, but wants to become like All Might, a hero who saves people with a smile on his face
Yo, thank you for this. I'm so glad I'm seeing more and more. Deku slash maa love as of late with all these new videos, talking about how nha's great or deku great
I do not get why people call him a cry baby I like his character because without power he still what to save somebody one of my favorite my hero academia character is Izuku Midoriya
@@HiddenSH_ Yep, hypocritical one piece fan detected. One piece my friend is a yap fest along with a pacing disaster. Do not shit on one and exclude the other. Drop you biased opinions and be for real for a second. Think about your show and really break down all it's faults and you'll see how much of a disaster One piece really is.
@@malitnk You say drop your biased opinions but that sounds like someone with bias towards one piece being bad and not an objective look at how great some of the stuff if, no show or manga is perfect but objectively one piece has some of the best world building and long term story telling manga has ever seen.
People are acting like every main character needs to be guts from berserk and all serious, PEOPLE ARE FORGETTING THAT DEKU IS A FRESHMAN IN HIGH SCHOOL. They always use the excuse "he is weak, dude cant beat goku" or "he is a crybaby" FIRST OFF, COMPARING DEKU TO GOKU IS LIKE COMPARING A 10 YEAR OLD TO A BODYBUILDER. And as you said, he crys because he is an actual human. Not every mc needs to not cry. Guys stop acting like you have never cried before.
That's fine to find him annoying I'm not asking everyone to love him, just don't hate on him because he cry's lol I also like that we get a male mc who cries
People thinking he's a crybaby don't understand the context for why he's so emotional or that it's the start of this thing called a charachter arc. And likely have'nt watched past season 1 or just refuse to acknowledge his growth. Season 1 Deku would not be doing the things season 7 Deku is currently doing to sum it up quickly.
Keep it up on your work and this video and channel I love this video and channel Thanks you for your video and channel I love my hero academia all franchise
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!!! 👏❤️
Thank you for the amazing comment! I agree with pretty much everything you said, and I would've been really nice for him to be able to see his worth even without a quirk, but I do have hope that in a spinoff or sequel we will get that!!
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. And part of how they facilitate that payoff is by showing that all might's original first choice for successor, Mirio catastrophically fucks up in such a way that he loses his work and his mentor dies that again it was his mentor's tutelage that even caused his Royal fuk up to occur in the first place
I personally don't think that was the point of the arc, I see it in a different perspective. I think the arc was meant to show that the reason deku was chosen as the successor is because yes he's the best person to receive it, but not because mirio fucked or whatever, but to show Mirio would've been an incredible candidate and his heroic spirit trying to save Eri matches Dekus... however Deku is so great of a hero to his very core that despite the potentially better choice in mirio, he was chosen because his heroism couldnt be avoided, and this was paid off when he changed the future nighteye saw, they should've died and lost, but because has the power to bring about a new age and real change, because he is a hero.
@@HiddenSH_ well we only see that heroic spirit and drive to save her after the fact that he screwed up catastrophically and they try to mitigate it by saying he was definitely planning to save her later… despite the fact that saving people is a now or never situation
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...
Yeah some ppl refuse to see his development since it’s not very obvious to braindead ppl because it’s not thrown into your face all of a sudden. Hate on Deku is so forced
Yeah I think the fact they both got hate for "crying" and being "loud" is a horrible take but I'm glad they are getting some recognition these days but Deku still deserves more
Deku has cried a few times one as a kid 2 getting one for all 3 sir nighteye dying 4 people not wanting him in U.A 5 seeing the villains helping him in season 7 and maybe one or two in the movies Deku is a good character always helping no matter what
someone didnt even watch half an episode of mha saying its "gay" bc they say "quirk" like 1. thats homophobic 2. u havent even watched half an episode like js ignore that part and watch it and mayb u will like it as much as me and also he cries because of how much has happened if u get bullied and then get stuff that u have always wanted u will be like that so js think if u r in dekus shoes before u call him a crybaby
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.
I agree with everything you said. All the criticisms for him are so bad, if they are complaining about a bullied child and then teenager crying that sets such a bad precedent for society, and then to say he doesn't work for or deserves his power?? REALLY? dont even get me started again because people are so dumb for that take
Ok he’s one of the best mc’s and my favourite mc buuuuuuuuut he has definitely cried way more than 8 episodes he doesn’t deserve the title crybaby but he cries way too much ngl (edit) i also enjoy how he try’s hard to not to cry but he does lmao
Oh! The iner mind child scenes in mha reminds me of the Maka and Crona (Soul Eater) scene. It truly is a special sort of scene where, without all the pizzaz of the real world interfears with what is going on inside the characters heads and souls. The audience and character the second, can see what the person thinks of themselves with out the physically sensory walls, and allowed the visual cues to see the persons "core" In part it gives us inisght on how fundamentally, Deku hasnt changed at his core. Not at all, and thats beautiful to see him doing what he always does, which is reaching out a hand, which in season seven, we see later reflected in the Toga/Urauraka scene and a little bit with the Dabi/Family drama. The identity and the quirk are not the same person, which is in part why we see these scenes of them when they are 4 years old, just moments or days before they get their quirks. Another stretch might be to say that in showing these scenes, we see how Deku has rubbed off on his classmates in this small way, of reaching a hand out to those who wanted a hand to grasp all this time. I think back to the Hawks/Twice fight alot. Id have to rewatch it but i do recall Hawks trying his best to spare Twice, but in the end, Twice chose to live for his friends, his family, understandable considering Hawks had betrayed their trust and again, if the commision could have their way, had the Lov killed. Deku wants to connect, snd he dosent want to kill. T I think this is in part due to his analysis and his love of quirks. His analysis is considered professonal grade, even to the point of some people wondering how he even knows something so personal or miniscule only a trained detective, doctor, or dedicated professional would likely notice a tendancy to favor one side over the other or the draw backs due to his dedicated reasearch. Deku looks for ways to help, most kemorable is right before the camp arc when Mido and Shigaraki meet hand to neck. Sure Deku is scared, and maybe he only gave the villain his honest opinion on stain out of that fear, but it is quite special that instead of refusing to answer or again trying to fight back or call for help (all very stupid or no existant) or even making up a believable lie, he jsut spits out his opinion. And, if im not mistaken, Deku does lie, not to harm, but when the aim is to help someone or keep others from worrying about him. Deku is honest in his intentions, that is admirable. Which is why i think Bakugo And Shinso are great friendly rivals for deku. The former 2 are mostly violent and standoffish in nature, Bakugou being sky-high cocky and shinso being 3-feet-under stanoffish. All really want to be heros, all really want to prove the world of their merit in one way or another. Im too tired to finish the thought.
Thank you for the comment and the effort you put into it, I also love those scenes and think they were such a good addition to the show and helped expand deku's character and his inner thoughts, even the scene where the previous holders ask Deku if he could possibly kill Shigi, even with the previous holders and no one else to judge him, his truest thoughts and he still wouldn't kill. His instinct is to save people
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
@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.
@@MiguelTier100Debater85So you are telling him to bottle his emotions up? Have you seen what he’s been through? I’m surprised he didn’t cry more in season. 5,6, and 7. Those are like his lowest points in his life. You are acting like you’ve never cried before
@0Banana_Cat No, I am not lmao. This is the problem with MHA fans. You guys think complaining about someone crying too much means that we are saying that they are not allowed to cry at all ever. When this isn't the case. So many anime protagonist cry from time to time, but we don't have an issue with it bc they don't do it constantly all the time like Deku.
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.
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...
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?
@@nanaakuaamoako2352 Exactly that's the whole point of full cowl, to limit his power so he doesnt break his bones all the time
@@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.
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.
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
100% agree and is the reason I felt like I had to make this video, people who hate on him because he has emotions and acts like a real human would is so wrong and they completely miss the point of his character.
A person who cries over exaggerated and loud as hell is Zenitsu. Somehow people like him more than Deku.
(Zenitsu fans gonna kill me but oh well)
Deku is much more quieter and more mature, I don't get how people find Deku a crybaby- 😭
@@Hatsunkiso I mean not trying to hate but I have watched demon slayer and Zenitzu does cry but a lot less then you would think.in the last season he doesn’t cry but the reason people think he cry’s so much is because his character is supposed to be so mature he supposed to be a character that can go into a fight and have no fear.

Deku is an inspirational character. Going from nothing and having the determination to fulfil something that he always wanted to do.
I 100% agree with you, I always try to have the same determination as him.
His determination: (lose his powers and gives up his dream of becoming a hero and only goes back to it after six years of doing nothing and having being gifted an easy path to success
@@caratrevoso3347 He didn't give up on his dream, he was still working hard to achieve that goal a be a hero without his power as we see at the end, and I guess if you want to call teaching the next generation how to be heros is nothing then fair play
@@caratrevoso3347 Yes he lost his power and became the greatest hero in the process by defeating the great evil. And then he took up teaching the next generation of heroes. While still being able to pursue his dream thanks to his relationships with his former classmates. He's determined to make the world a better place. He's determined to keep people safe.
I know this was posted a while ago, but when I was rewatching MHA a while ago during his training with All Might, I did 700 pish ups that night like the inspiration was real.
There’s people who claim he’s actually selfish and not heroic because he wanted a quirk like everyone else and didn’t just become a police officer. Or that Bakugou’s bullying was justified Lmao
These people are beyond hope
Bro if there's people that actually believe that I have no words, they are tryna hate for no reason
As Sato kaiba said "they are just pathetic dogs"
I’m sorry…they said Bakugos bullying was JUSTIFIED?? Nah…that’s kinda wild bro.
Part of why I think MHA is peak is because of Deku being a great role model. It's okay to cry, empathize, work hard, struggle and think through your problems. He's breaking the mold of the conventional shonen protagonist in a big way.
The same people that dislike Deku are often the people who want more classic male fulfillment roles like Luffy, Naruto, Goku, etc. Empty head, be silly, eat food, be born powerful, always win.
MHA has reached a greater demographic due it's modern ideals and I'm glad to see it pushing Shonen tropes forward.
I agree with you MHA is an incredible show and I think a lot of people hate it for the wrong reason
It's like deku doesn't even care about his own safety but cares about others instead of his own the amount of times this man has broken his bones and almost died and still worried about someone else being hurt
Ohh 100% so often in the show its shown that Deku cares more about saving people than his own safety
people are also forgetting that hes still a minor, making his emotional scenes actually more realistic
exactly people forget he is literally a child
They watched too many anime where a teenager is basically over powered that when they see one crying its an abnormality to them
@@manusia-hk4xd Yeah they are too used to the generic shounen
@@manusia-hk4xd yeah. Deku is just an ordinary kid born without a quirk so it makes sense how he's the normal one compared to the kids/teenagers that are in a different anime
Mha world is based on the real world but with powers, and they gotta know that, people crying in mha reflects on how people cry in real life aswell
Haha, would you say the same about bakugo
You can't forget he never had a quirk. This reason means he grew up thinking he couldn't ever be one of the greatest heroes and even then he got over it (a bit). So when he cries on a scene just remember that's the quirkless part of deku showing.
100% and people seem to forget or leave that part out when criticising him
I love that Deku's a "crybaby"--it makes him relatable and human.
It also helps break down that idea that strong heroes need to be stoic or always confident, because living constantly like that is in reality so exhausting.
I agree with the completely, there is nothing wrong with crying in the slightest and the fact people would complain about that is crazy LOL
At least he's not a damn robot
Out of all of the new gen main protagonists, Deku is by far my favorite main character. MHA was the first Shonen anime i ever saw and i still enjoy it. I am glad someone made a video about how deku is actually a good main character

Idk I think it became a meme and then everyone jumped on the bandwagon because of the fandom? i have no clue
To me Deku was my influence to me. Even was crybaby and became the the fucking goat

He is so relatable and everyone can connect to Deku and learn something from him
Theres a different between being a crybaby and just being emotional. Dekus just an emotional person

Man this anime has been brought down just because of the first few episodes and cough * fan service*. But it's one of my favourite animes never the less
People really hate MHA for the worst reasons, Deku cries, the fanbase, and dont even give the show a chance... its so dumb
Another complaint I hear is "he's too perfect" and all I can think is "ARE YOU UNWELL?!" BECAUSE YOU CAN'T LOOK AT EVERYTHING HE DOES AND SAY HE'S PERFECT. He's not even a Gary Stu, he's just powerful! Some traits don't a Sue make!
Edit: also, I've heard people complain he's a static character. First of all, no he's not, two, I'm pretty sure people still like Luffy and Toph, and even they aren't completely static.
How to beam this into the brains of every Deku hater on loop until they cry 50 times as much as Deku and then come to deeply adore him
I second this ^^^
So the only way People can love him is by brainwashing huh? Makes sense you'd have to be out of your mind to call him a good main character
Honestly my only complaint about him is that he feels underdeveloped compared to other characters in the show even though he’s the MC but I still love him.
I'm glad you still love him like I do, but can I ask why you feel he's under developed? He's a fairly stagnant character who's main purpose is to be the source of good and a hero but I think they still developed and explored a lot in the later half of the show
I been knew the MHA hate was forced since season 3
It really is so forced people just like to hate
I grew with marvel and dc (I still love them in all mediums) but Deku has become my favorite superhero of all time. Possibly even my favorite character of all time. The combination of his innate goodness and his push to challenge his own limiting beliefs inspires me everyday
I think I still have a couple heroes (Batman, Flash, Spiderman) above him for me, but he is defo top 3 when it comes to heroism and the representation of goodness
@HiddenSH_ that's totally fair!
@@Spartan-qw2tr What are some of your favourites?
@HiddenSH_ Spiderman for sure, Batman, Green Lantern is great (I'm more familiar with John Stewart from the JL animated series) and the MCU has really made me a big Captain America fan (both Steve and Sam). Oh and I can't forget Ms. Marvel and Jean Grey!
@@Spartan-qw2tr I'm also a big green lantern fan, super underrated! Im excited for the new captain america movie coming up, and Ms. Marvel im not super familiar with outside the MCU films and Jean Grey is a classic!
Deku made me quit on the first two episodes but then a year later I got back into MHA and realized it wasn’t that bad
The show isn’t that bad but the fan base and people I know ruined it with how ‘zesty’ they are when it comes to these teenage characters
I'm glad you came back to the show and gave it another chance
@@makbookpro Yeah the fan base does give MHA a bad rep LOL
@@riftmaker4478 I'm glad you are currently enjoying it again on your 2nd time watching it!
glad someone finally Sayedthis people be so ignorant about deku character growth
They really do just ignore all his character development
People who say this are forgetting that some MC’s in their Favorite shows has also cried just like izuku, take luffy for god’s sake, he just was crying a good bit after sabaody and the paramount war with the death of ace
One got bullied but the other lost his brother after all that effort in an entire war where so many lives were lost on both sides. People like you are just hypocrites with the hating on MC’s.
AND THEN TANJIRO!?!? LIKE, GROW UP! If you can't take someone crying in a show where people are WILLING to d13 for others and that have g0r3y scenes, that sounds like a you problem!
@@Alex_Lennyboo-n1v good point, this is just another reason why people should realize that their favorite people also cry, F’ING GROW UP YOU ANIME SNOTS
@@makbookproI'm not sure if I dead you wrong but Schoold was never hating he was just stating facts and deku has more than just being "bullied" to cry about.
if i don't like a character i am allowed to hate it doesn't make me dumb lol there is reasons why i hate deku and its mainly because of the fandom and their cosplay and cringe stuff they do that makes me hate the character
Finally, I appreciate this show much, I’ve seen people say “lol crybaby” when he was suicidal. Boi needs a break
When was he suicidal?
@@jacksparrow9227 when in episode one he considered doing as Bakugo says and killing himself, at least in the manga version chapter one, he very clearly thinks to himself that maybe he should go on Kermit’s sewer slide
@@gabrieldevoogel6225 please don't spread misinformation. Deku was never suicidal, nor in the anime nor in the manga
@isabelladerrico1239 he dose consider jumping tho maybe in his next life he would have a good quirk
@@isabelladerrico1239 reread chapter one, just stop
I find that people are too hard on characters who cry a lot. Deku isn’t annoying or whiny, he’s just a very emotional person in a way that I find to be endearing. In later seasons, his crying happens at very impactful moments, and others cry too when the time calls for it. There’s so much stigma around (especially male) characters outwardly showing vulnerability, which for a person like Deku, who wears his heart in his sleeve, makes complete sense.
The thing is that he is an emocional kid… but its not a bad thing. It is what lets him connect to others and to many it makes him a more inspiring hero than even All Might
I agree and would also even say more kids are emotional beings they don't really know anything yet lol
@@HiddenSH_ Yes but it´s not just because he is a kid. Most of Deku´s arc is about becomeing more breave and confident but also about doing so in a way that is true to himself and not necesarily to All Might.
The entier point of the Overhaul arc is the fact that Mirio would be the perfect All Might 2.0, but Deku has a chance to make somehing better because he isn´t like All Might. For example, after he talks with Todoroki and Iida in that arc Deku says he shouldn´t cry because heroes (All Might) don´t cry, and Shoto tells him that sometimes even heroes need to cry, becuase he undesratands Deku´s strength and power as a hero is conected to his emotions
@@ManiacForStorysyMusi 10000% a great point, you even see the difference in the flashback in that arc where you see All Mights refusal to show emotions and weakenss by taking time off despite Nighteye's warning about what would happen to him, whereas when Deku comes back to UA he allows himself to get help and for everyone to see him beaten and broken down, it's because they aren't the same that he can be more
People will hate Deku because he's a crybaby..... Then those same people will like some edgy irredeemable characters just because they are "cOOL" and sh.t.
They are saying people like Ayanokoji are their goat or favorite character, now that I think about it, Deku and Koji are exact opposites. A lot of people who hated on the show liked the vigilante arc so much because he didn't show much emotion.
You just earned a subscriber. Im so sick of people hating on MHA and Deku for the stupidest reasons, or just for the sake of hating, or just because people hating on it is starting to become a trend or something like that. (Of course, there are some people who don’t like MHA or Deku for some actually good and understandable reasons though. Thank you if you’re one of those people).
The MAIN reasons (from what I’ve seen) people hate on MHA and Deku is because of the terrible fandom and because Deku is annoying and a “crybaby”.
Like, 1. Yes it’s true that the fandom sucks, but thats the FANDOM not the SHOW. The show itself is so good and interesting. Obviously, it has some flaws here and there, but so does literally everything else, no show is perfect. Don’t judge a show based on the fandom. I watched MHA knowing how bad the fandom is, and i was hesitant, but still watched it anyways, and i absolutely love it. Same thing happened with JJK. Thats when i learned to not judge an anime based on the fandom, and to just ignore the fandoms.
2. Honestly, i never even noticed how much Deku cries until i started seeing people complaining about it. And Deku stops crying a ton after season 2. But so what if he cries? He has emotions, and thats what makes him relatable and human. And all the times he cries are all for actually understandable and good reasons (aside from like 2 or 3 moments in season 1 and 2 but they were mostly gags, which is fine because gags are fun and almost every anime has them), like his friends getting hurt/dying, nearly dying from a villain, going through a hard time, etc. I mean, think about it. If you went through ALL the things Deku has been through, you would probably cry a lot too. I know i for sure would.
So many people just want the MC to be one of those emotionless and tough MC’s rather than something relatable and actually realistic. Theres nothing wrong with the emotionless and tough MC’s, but we already have a ton of those, i mean, they are cool yeah, but its just super hard to relate to them, and theres nothing wrong with having an actually relatable MC either. I also feel like it just would not fit with the vibe of the show AT ALL if Deku was emotionless and tough.
DISCLAIMER: Im not saying people cant dislike MHA or Deku, its fine if you do. Im just saying, please dont have stupid reasons for it.
(Mad respect for you if you read all this. I did not realize how long this was, and i apologize, but i just wanted to share my thoughts. 😂)
After watching evangelion
Yeah before watching Jojo
when I was invested in MHA I never hated midoriya
It’s like calling a guy who acts all serious cause he just wants to look cool an emo (Jotaro Kujo)
Yet knowing damn well there’s characters that are actually truly emo
And truly crybabys
I'm glad you never hated Deku
@@HiddenSH_ i just found him relatable
But not as much as shinji ikari from evangelion
@@JodaroKujo Yeah Shinji is very relatable
The only thing i disliked from deku is that he never trained before meeting All Might.
Like he was quirkless, and wanted to be a hero with what? He had no fighting skill, no rescuing skill, and probabily below avarage physical stats.
But the rest of the character is great
Even though he didn't train his body he was training his mind well, like do you realize how hard it is to pick up 6-7 other quirks in the short amount of time he had?
you did him justice, ive never seen a video about how good deku's writing actually is
I'm glad I could di him justice, that was my intention so that makes me happy to hear :)
I don't hate deku because of crying it's a human thing to do but the vigilante arm had me hyped as deku was succumbing to the burden he placed on himself just for it to go to waste by classmates he has been with for less then a freaking year man
I loved the vigilante arc I also think it was amazing seeing him struggle with the burden of being all mights successor
I think season 2 was the last time we seen him crying out of joy.
Yeah put yourself in deku shoes imagine being born in a world were everyone has superpowers except you but you still want to be a superhero but everyone even your own mother dont think you can do it you get bullied for 10 years and finally you have the chance to accomplish something with your life are telling me that people wouldn't be crying if that happened to them
Nothing wrong with being normal, if anything that made him special having no powers he just saw it the wrong way.
to me it's not about him being a crier i get why he cries but the little shit hardly ever gets angry. like come on he has to have a shit load of pain and resentment built up but he rarely ever gets angry and when he does it almost immediately goes away
@@makbookpro The norm are quirks... Have been for decades now.
But yes, him being quirkless was a blessing in disguise since it would shorten the lifespan of the user by a hefty amount if they had a quirk before obtaining OFA.

@@faygoz2Yeah, but the fandom being….. the way they are is not a good reason to hate deku. He’s a great mc, if not one of the best out of the newer mangas/animes
I remember when I watched the first season of MHA, one of the people I was watching it with said his true quirk was "Tear jet".
What? LMAO no way they said that
@@HiddenSH_ I thought about it for a bit, and remembered that they just said his quirk was the crying thing. I was the one who came up with the name.
@@bivcbmtgstgtssscqcrddgtrsm2257 LMAOOOOOO
Ngl I’m pretty sure Deku might have some kind of mental illness cause the only time he cries is when he’s being scolded, but when he breaks his arm, he doesn’t utter a peep he could just be an emotionally unstable teen.
He for sure does, he was bullied and made to feel worthless most of his childhood because he was different and doesn't have a quirk
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
that's fair its fun rage baiting people LOL as long as you dont hate him for crying thats fine with me
Me personally I've ALWAYS adored Deku even from the first episode
My colleague hates him because Deku's good qualities shades him or rubs him off a certain way. Cool guy, but can't seem to get along well with empaths.
He's emotional but also a hardcore badass.
Agreed! He does both
I love deku, he’s the embodiment of don’t give up on your dreams
better version of that is Asta from black clover
similar situation. truly never gave up
He really is!
@@voldartthesorcerer9490 I think both are great example of this
Thank you 🙏 finally someone understands that deku ain't a cry baby most characters are aloud to cry and calling deku a cry baby I mean hell the show makes a joke calling him a cry baby hero so if anything him being considered a cry baby is a good thing cause he has emotions
Yeah I can't believe so many people complain because he cries and has feelings LMAO
@@HiddenSH_ For real
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!
He didn't physically train but he still had notes on every single hero he knew. 13 notebooks with extreme detail on heroes is a lot of effort. He continued to write notes on even his classmates to understand how they can work together and how they could improve their quirks. If he didn't care this much about quirks he wouldn't have been able to handle the other quirks within one for all so well
@@yd_things 100% he was always training his mind and learning whenever we could
actual crybaby is the mc from Tokyo Revengers
he does cry a lot but same with deku i dont hate him

@@faygoz2 hes saying that if you only hate deku because he crys, you're dumb
Deku got to be new gen mc that gets mistaken by ppl, being “emotional” makes him crybaby? Ig ppl just enjoy fightings and animation and they do not care abt writing or understanding the character, and oh boy don’t even make me start on the mha ending the amount of ppl be spreading misinformations is actually crazy and they make that deku that he got dirty on 😭, “all for nothing” “gave up on his dreams” you just know thoose ppl are just spreading misinformation and he EVEN stated in the manga that he achieved his dreams and they be saying all for nothing but later on they gave “TikTok knowledge” reasons, they obviously don’t read, in old gens ppl were reading and understanding writing but now it’s just ppl spreading misinformation and don’t even understand the story they only care abt fights and animation.
I agree he's so mistaken and the amount of people who don't even try to understand his character is insane!
Bro, you’re so right and all levels of aspect because I’ve heard so many people talk about how they hate this show because of how the main character is a crybaby and you’re literally describing why he is a great character
I'm glad you can relate to the points I made in this video! I was hoping to reach other people who enjoyed and understood Deku's character like I do!!
The same people bullying Deku and calling him a crybaby are the same people hating on Bakugou in season 7 for his first line in the first episode 😅
Just say you hate the show and move on. Leave them alone.
100% true people just like to hate for the sake of hating
in my opinion we shouldnt let the fan base ruin the show bc its good and gen,
100% people shouldn't hate the show or the characters because of the fans
The more I grow up, the more I like him he is such a sweetheart
I like that he starts as a bit of a crybaby and scaredy-cat. It helps him stand out from your standard shounen Goku clones. I also love that he starts as a glass cannon (that might not be the right term to describe it, but he has a powerful ability that also hurts him), having to be strategic with how he uses his power.
However, the ending REALLY did him dirty and this one 4Chan post sums it up perfectly. I don’t want to spoil the ending though
I think the ending is interesting one and depending on the person they will enjoy it differently
One more stupid thing I also say people hate this series is mostly drawn from the Fandom. A fandom doesn't determine how well written the series is or how much you like the series. Honestly, people will find any reason to hate on this series or a character
I also agree with you completely, I think you can dislike a fandom without disliking or even hating the show
@HiddenSH_ That's honestly why I don't associate with the Fandom of the series, mostly due to people ending up hating me for thinking I enjoyed the Fandom when that is far from the case, the series is actually well written and deserves a lot more credit than what people actually give it, sure, it fell off after season 4 ended and didn't pick back up until the Vigilante Arc, but I honestly loved the series (even though I almost dropped the series as a whole after what happened to Bakugo in season 7, for context, Bakugo is my favorite character)
@@copper-dragons I can understand that because some fanbases have a bad rep but I always just separate the 2 so if someone tells me they like MHA or whatever I never assume they are like some of the crazy fans lol but I'm glad you didn't drop the series and kept going"!
@HiddenSH_ trust me, I am far from being anything like the people who are most commonly found in the Fandom, I usually disassociate with any Fandom of any anime series because you are bound to find a lot of degenerates who take their love of the series way too far, sure, I keep up with anime news, watch the anime, and occasionally collect manga, but that's as far as I'll go
@@copper-dragons Yeah I think people just assume everyone is the same but like you and me there are a lot of people who just like the anime or manga and dont involve with anything else lol
Ten years! Ten years of being bullied and yet people hate on Deku and call him a cry baby? Excuse me? I have experienced bullying before in my life and I'm saying this now, it SUCKS! I don't know how Deku handled ten years of being put down and hurt. By season six, it's clear that he needs therapy. Ever since I got into MHA, I have found that Deku is so relatable. I love his kindness, his sacrifice to protect thoughs in need. He's just a great MC. Please, stop hating on him. He really went through hell in his life and I wish people would keep that in mind. I know that not all characters are perfect but calling Deku a crybaby just because he cries for good reasons and at good times seems a little extreme.
Either way, Deku is personally my favorite character.
I love to hear that! Yeah its dumb that people call him a crybaby, I guess they cant understand that a kid getting bullied might cry
Amazing vid! Love that someone who actually understands Deku speaking out on such blatant mis-characterisation (also doesn't help when so many in the anime community specifically will just formulate opinions on what the majority say 😅). Deku is honestly one of the best MCs for me and it's a shame he's been put in such bad light so I appreciate him getting the recognition he deserves by anyone. Plus your One Piece video was great as well and I think you got what I personally felt in how you just fall in love with it without even noticing. Glad I found your channel n I'll definitely stick along w you bro 🦍💙
Thank you so much for the comment bro, I'm glad you enjoyed the videos! I hope to see you around and you can enjoy more vids in the future!!
Guess what? Eren is also a crybaby, yet, we loved him, especially since the start of S4.
Yeah and I've never heard people complain about Eren crying LMAO
Wow that was are good viedo that deku was that hatet is are suprise to me
yeah a lot of people hate on deku, it's gotten better over the years but not great
Bro Deku’s training to handle ofa was the reason why during quarantine I started calisthenics, and after quarantine during 2023 he was mainly the reason why I went to the gym to get an even better physique.
That's sick to hear how much he motivated you, I thin he did the same for a lot of people! Keep it up!
Hot take but I feel people hate mha because of how it calls out society how it doesn’t beat around the push openly talking about segregation, discrimination, bullying, suicide, abuse, abusive parenting, child endarterment and such they all have have realistic struggles and impacts one thing they don’t realize is that in MHA “SCARS” play a huge roll the emotional and physical on izuku through hardships and training, the scar on Bakugos peirced heart, Todorokis left face, the Skin on Dabi, each scar from endeavor, Allmights weakend form, the stab wound on Ururaka, aizawas eyes and legs , mirio losing his quirk and so on so many impactful moments are missed probably intentionally because people cannot accept the realism
I think this is such a great point from you, so many things in MHA especially the longer the series goes on gets so real and relatable but people struggle to see it or even refuse to because of how heavy some of the topics are.
He lost his powers in order to save everyone. He gave up his dream of becoming the number 1 hero (though he technically did achieve it). everything he worked for, he threw it all away to save everyone, and yet he’s hated for it. He’s ridiculed by the fandom for this. Deku is easily one of my favourite mc’s, and he always will be
That's what im talking about! He is amazing!
And people also complain that “ohhh, he gave up immediately after the embers were gone”, my guy he didn’t. Like it was clear in the last chapter that he didn’t give up, he just didn’t have the funding needed to get a suit built for him to use. And that’s also the reason why he became a teacher to help the future generation in his own way that he can handle. And people hated him for that. Like if he did give up immediately after loosing the embers then he wouldn’t have been so eager to immediately getting back on the field with his friends after receiving the suit
@@HiddenSH_ He really is! He is the ideal hero!
@@DenkzzXD He is!
@@andrewswannsproposal I agree with that, Deku was never about the embers he always wanted to be a hero no matter what and if he has a suit or anything that allows him to help people he will always help no matter what
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.
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?
@@HiddenSH_ truly valid points you have as well.
@@DD-vu1jy I appreciate you saying that!
Thank you so much for defending my goat!!!
I had to!!
This is the first video I've seen of you, and I want to say you did a great job on it. The editing and the way you present everything is very entertaining. You got a new subscriber.
Deku is far from a crybaby with how much he goes through and male sensitivity should be more normalised.
Aww thank you so much for the compliment, I'm glad someone enjoyed the video I made!! I hope I can make more videos you enjoy!! He is not a crybaby in the slightest and even if he does who cares
I love Deku. Is it wrong to say that I'm tired of protagonists who barely showed their hand emotionally? Does seriously there are characters out there who show off their kind and compassionate side so little and show don't tell isn't redeeming them one bit. It's to the point where the full moon happens more often than we see a character is Heart of Gold meanwhile we have Deku whose Heart of Gold is always exposed year-round.
So you would prefer if Deku didn't show his heart of gold the whole time?
@ I didn’t say that. I like that he does compared to other protagonists
14:36 i think afo is truly unsavable, he didnt grow up to slowly turn evil like shigaraki, he was born and immedietly chose violence, literally, from the moment he was born he thought that the whole world was a playground and the people were his toys, all might had no choice, there is NOTHING to save, hes evil incarnate
FACTS.
That is all 100% he is pure evil and a straight demon
PURE FACTS
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.
Yeah calling people dumb was uncalled for lol
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
@@lovableairheadmile6809 LOL that was mainly for the title and if people hate him because he cries because that is stupid, if you just dont like him fair enough
@@HiddenSH_ I didn't say I didn't like him though for me he was great but slowly became less interesting than other characters
@@lovableairheadmile6809 that's fair enough I can understand that!
idk why people hate on this show
idk either it's so hated for no reason
one tiny mistake you made that Izuku wants to save people with a smile on his face and not becoming the number 1 hero. Sure he wants to become like All Might, but wants to become like All Might, a hero who saves people with a smile on his face
Someone needs to send this vid to Rob from RT TV.
Someone had to say it
Yo, thank you for this. I'm so glad I'm seeing more and more. Deku slash maa love as of late with all these new videos, talking about how nha's great or deku great
MHA and Deku deserve the love, people hate on it way to much
I do not get why people call him a cry baby I like his character because without power he still what to save somebody one of my favorite my hero academia character is Izuku Midoriya
See you understand his character, most people dont and just call him a crybaby
If yapping is an anime, then MHA is the perfect example
Deku whole arc is “All for Nothing”
What makes you say that?
I sense a one piece enjoyer
@@malitnk I am a one piece enjoyer
@@HiddenSH_ Yep, hypocritical one piece fan detected. One piece my friend is a yap fest along with a pacing disaster. Do not shit on one and exclude the other. Drop you biased opinions and be for real for a second. Think about your show and really break down all it's faults and you'll see how much of a disaster One piece really is.
@@malitnk You say drop your biased opinions but that sounds like someone with bias towards one piece being bad and not an objective look at how great some of the stuff if, no show or manga is perfect but objectively one piece has some of the best world building and long term story telling manga has ever seen.
It’s about time somebody made a video defending one of my favorite characters.
That's what I felt like, so I decided to make it myself
@@HiddenSH_ That’s awesome
@@stuartmcpherran5115 I appreciate that!
Great video finally some love for one if it's isn't the best mc of this shonen jump Era, i've likes him from the first mha episode i Saw🤩
I'm glad you also love MHA and Deku!
I can confirm I am stupid and I hate him
Do you hate him for crying? then yes, if its for another reason you aren't stupid
People are acting like every main character needs to be guts from berserk and all serious, PEOPLE ARE FORGETTING THAT DEKU IS A FRESHMAN IN HIGH SCHOOL. They always use the excuse "he is weak, dude cant beat goku" or "he is a crybaby" FIRST OFF, COMPARING DEKU TO GOKU IS LIKE COMPARING A 10 YEAR OLD TO A BODYBUILDER. And as you said, he crys because he is an actual human. Not every mc needs to not cry. Guys stop acting like you have never cried before.
100% agree with this take, the exact point I was trying to get across in this video, that criticism of Deku is terrible
I don’t hate him, but I find him annoying sometimes. He’s a cool character & I’m glad he cries because we don’t see many male characters cry in shows.
That's fine to find him annoying I'm not asking everyone to love him, just don't hate on him because he cry's lol I also like that we get a male mc who cries
People thinking he's a crybaby don't understand the context for why he's so emotional or that it's the start of this thing called a charachter arc. And likely have'nt watched past season 1 or just refuse to acknowledge his growth. Season 1 Deku would not be doing the things season 7 Deku is currently doing to sum it up quickly.
I 10000% agree some people either stop watching the show or assume he hasn't developed at all since the start of the show its so dumb
Keep it up on your work and this video and channel
I love this video and channel
Thanks you for your video and channel
I love my hero academia all franchise
Thank you so much for the support!! It really means a lot and helps me so much to stay motivated
Boy do I love commenting for: Music? 00:00
Instead of looking in the description for the credits.
(THERE ARE NO CREDITS)
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!!! 👏❤️
Thank you for the amazing comment! I agree with pretty much everything you said, and I would've been really nice for him to be able to see his worth even without a quirk, but I do have hope that in a spinoff or sequel we will get that!!
i agree so much with this video, it's kinda why i think deku doesn't deserve his ending 😭
I'm glad to hear that! and I do get why people don't like the ending because of that
My brother hasn't watched mha and hates on it because he has heard some bad things about it and im 100% sure its because or this which is so sad.
and also the animation but its because he hasnt seen the movies or the good moments in seasons
that does suck that he hates it without even watching the show
yeah there are some great moments of animation
Even when he lost both his arms in the manga he was worrying about the others who had helped him take down baby all for one
He's such a great person it's insane
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. And part of how they facilitate that payoff is by showing that all might's original first choice for successor, Mirio catastrophically fucks up in such a way that he loses his work and his mentor dies that again it was his mentor's tutelage that even caused his Royal fuk up to occur in the first place
I personally don't think that was the point of the arc, I see it in a different perspective. I think the arc was meant to show that the reason deku was chosen as the successor is because yes he's the best person to receive it, but not because mirio fucked or whatever, but to show Mirio would've been an incredible candidate and his heroic spirit trying to save Eri matches Dekus... however Deku is so great of a hero to his very core that despite the potentially better choice in mirio, he was chosen because his heroism couldnt be avoided, and this was paid off when he changed the future nighteye saw, they should've died and lost, but because has the power to bring about a new age and real change, because he is a hero.
@@HiddenSH_ well we only see that heroic spirit and drive to save her after the fact that he screwed up catastrophically and they try to mitigate it by saying he was definitely planning to save her later… despite the fact that saving people is a now or never situation
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...
Yeah some ppl refuse to see his development since it’s not very obvious to braindead ppl because it’s not thrown into your face all of a sudden. Hate on Deku is so forced
Yeah I think the fact they both got hate for "crying" and being "loud" is a horrible take but I'm glad they are getting some recognition these days but Deku still deserves more
Deku has cried a few times one as a kid 2 getting one for all 3 sir nighteye dying 4 people not wanting him in U.A 5 seeing the villains helping him in season 7 and maybe one or two in the movies Deku is a good character always helping no matter what
He is such a good person and always helps people no matter the situation
someone didnt even watch half an episode of mha saying its "gay" bc they say "quirk" like 1. thats homophobic 2. u havent even watched half an episode like js ignore that part and watch it and mayb u will like it as much as me
and also he cries because of how much has happened if u get bullied and then get stuff that u have always wanted u will be like that so js think if u r in dekus shoes before u call him a crybaby
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.
I agree with everything you said. All the criticisms for him are so bad, if they are complaining about a bullied child and then teenager crying that sets such a bad precedent for society, and then to say he doesn't work for or deserves his power?? REALLY? dont even get me started again because people are so dumb for that take
Ok he’s one of the best mc’s and my favourite mc buuuuuuuuut he has definitely cried way more than 8 episodes he doesn’t deserve the title crybaby but he cries way too much ngl (edit) i also enjoy how he try’s hard to not to cry but he does lmao
Yeah he definitely does cry more than that but not nearly enough to be called a crybaby LMAOOO
Oh! The iner mind child scenes in mha reminds me of the Maka and Crona (Soul Eater) scene. It truly is a special sort of scene where, without all the pizzaz of the real world interfears with what is going on inside the characters heads and souls. The audience and character the second, can see what the person thinks of themselves with out the physically sensory walls, and allowed the visual cues to see the persons "core"
In part it gives us inisght on how fundamentally, Deku hasnt changed at his core. Not at all, and thats beautiful to see him doing what he always does, which is reaching out a hand, which in season seven, we see later reflected in the Toga/Urauraka scene and a little bit with the Dabi/Family drama.
The identity and the quirk are not the same person, which is in part why we see these scenes of them when they are 4 years old, just moments or days before they get their quirks.
Another stretch might be to say that in showing these scenes, we see how Deku has rubbed off on his classmates in this small way, of reaching a hand out to those who wanted a hand to grasp all this time.
I think back to the Hawks/Twice fight alot. Id have to rewatch it but i do recall Hawks trying his best to spare Twice, but in the end, Twice chose to live for his friends, his family, understandable considering Hawks had betrayed their trust and again, if the commision could have their way, had the Lov killed.
Deku wants to connect, snd he dosent want to kill. T
I think this is in part due to his analysis and his love of quirks. His analysis is considered professonal grade, even to the point of some people wondering how he even knows something so personal or miniscule only a trained detective, doctor, or dedicated professional would likely notice a tendancy to favor one side over the other or the draw backs due to his dedicated reasearch.
Deku looks for ways to help, most kemorable is right before the camp arc when Mido and Shigaraki meet hand to neck. Sure Deku is scared, and maybe he only gave the villain his honest opinion on stain out of that fear, but it is quite special that instead of refusing to answer or again trying to fight back or call for help (all very stupid or no existant) or even making up a believable lie, he jsut spits out his opinion. And, if im not mistaken, Deku does lie, not to harm, but when the aim is to help someone or keep others from worrying about him.
Deku is honest in his intentions, that is admirable. Which is why i think Bakugo And Shinso are great friendly rivals for deku. The former 2 are mostly violent and standoffish in nature, Bakugou being sky-high cocky and shinso being 3-feet-under stanoffish. All really want to be heros, all really want to prove the world of their merit in one way or another.
Im too tired to finish the thought.
Thank you for the comment and the effort you put into it, I also love those scenes and think they were such a good addition to the show and helped expand deku's character and his inner thoughts, even the scene where the previous holders ask Deku if he could possibly kill Shigi, even with the previous holders and no one else to judge him, his truest thoughts and he still wouldn't kill. His instinct is to save people
The issue isn't deku crying. It's him doing it constantly, lol. Even in the Dark Deku arc, he is still crying.
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
@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.
@@MiguelTier100Debater85So you are telling him to bottle his emotions up? Have you seen what he’s been through? I’m surprised he didn’t cry more in season. 5,6, and 7. Those are like his lowest points in his life. You are acting like you’ve never cried before
Saying he does it constantly is a stretch but personally I don't think it ruins his character when he crys lol
@0Banana_Cat No, I am not lmao. This is the problem with MHA fans. You guys think complaining about someone crying too much means that we are saying that they are not allowed to cry at all ever. When this isn't the case. So many anime protagonist cry from time to time, but we don't have an issue with it bc they don't do it constantly all the time like Deku.
