Yeah

He cries too much. So no.

Honestly speaking as a person who watches BNHA, no.

After the practical entrance exam, he just becomes a generic shounen MC who doesn't have to prove shit anymore, he becomes just as good as bakugo and todoroki way too fast and loses any uniqueness he has to him.

more complex than gon tbqhwy

Literally one of the worst shounen protagonists i can think of.

He's okay. Not the best and nowhere near the worst.

I like him, he is my favorite shounen mc

No

If you only count shounen, he is certainly better than most other MCs but still he's crying too much. Thought the story would have been much more interesting if he never got superpowers but instead became a hero through sheer willpower, training and intellect, kinda like Batman.

If he wasnt just given super power and he had to find a different way around his huge disadvantage than yea. But now he's just a MC with a heart of gold which is what a lot of people like in their capeshit.

Asta and Natsu

he is a pretty shitty person, but gets a certain degree of relvance and development

Failed potential.
He's a neurotic beta but he's not even enough of a neurotic beta like Shinji, Simon or Subaru to be interesting in that regard.

No. the premise of the manga was that he was very dedicated and would come up with strategies but it devolved into OH MY BROKEN QUIRK very fast.

Neither of those were utter beta bitches unlike this faggot

isn't much of an accomplishment
killua is the real main character anyway

>overpowered crybaby
No. He kinda reminds me of Steven Universe.

>development
what

Why do we have this thread everyday?

>WAAH! WHY WASN'T I GIFTED WITH THE SUPERIOR ATHLETIC TALENT OF LEBRON!! MY LIIIFE IS OVER NOW!!

If his priority was only to save people like the narrative tries to claim, then he could have tried to become a doctor, but no being a doctor isn't KEWL.

>B-but muh notes!!
Why do MHAtards pretend that keeping track of your hobby is hard work? I've seen kids make higher quality scouting reports for the nba draft

7 quirks

of course not.

Not even hunterfaggots like Gon

He's a little kid, bro. If this shounen superhero series was 'realistic,' he would've gotten older and channeled his desires into goals he was capable of achieving.

So why does the story care about this entitled kid then?

That's how he was on the pilot, plus he was a salaryman, I think he should have gone with that

Batman was also Bill Gates levels of wealthy

if he's the worst then I think you just have shit taste

>thinking dekuck is shit
>shit taste pick 1

More like his favorite hero is Lebron and deku was born with broken legs

He's okay. Not really good or bad.

Deku is LITERALLY the worst combination of beta bitch traits and having all the power he need just handed right to him that i've seen in any shounen aside form maybe Reborn.

This. If he hadn't met All Might he would have just eventually been forced to accept reality as he grew up, and probably would have gone into a profession where he could at least indirectly help people.

Asta actually wants to make the world a better place. Unlike Deku who just wants to become a hero to look cool.

KACCHAN PLEASE

>If his priority was only to save people like the narrative tries to claim, then he could have tried to become a doctor, but no being a doctor isn't KEWL.

You could say that for literally every character.

>Why does Bakugo want to be a hero when he could be a surgeon instead?

He lost to both of them.

And generic how? I'm not saying he's Shakespearean, but explain more.

> doesn't have to prove shit anymore

During the Overhaul arc, didn't he learn that All Might picked him on a whim, and that there are 3 other characters with much more experience and higher aptitudes that would be better suited to the quirk?

Post fat Inko aka best Inko

What the fuck kind of complaint is that. His dream was being a Pro Hero, not a doctor.

It's like talking shit about Pokemon because Ash wants to be a Pokemon master instead of a Librarian or some shit lol.

Yea, just like Batman.

No

No, he's just a slightly better Tsunayoshi Sawada.

No, he's the worst part of MHA for me.

So why does the story try to portray him as self-less then?

honestly really dislike batman, because "lel prep time" which a lot of time doesnt even make sense, several times his plans would have not gone into effect if the enemy decided to stand on a different location and whatnot.
also for such a genius predictor, he sure is fucking retarded in his "killing his wrong m'kay?". How many lives were lost due to his inability to man up?

> And generic how?
hes constantly handed power ups and constantly being a moralfag like plenty of characters before him
> During the Overhaul arc, didn't he learn that All Might picked him on a whim, and that there are 3 other characters with much more experience and higher aptitudes that would be better suited to the quirk?
he literally is shown so much favoritism that he doesnt have to work hard in order to be better than everyone. I.e 7 extra quirks for no reason when were supposed to believe that hes lucky to even have one.

Attached: hard truth.jpg (387x628, 84K)

Deku went from lifting fridges to punching buildings in a day.
Most of Deku's early badassery was entirely because of OFA, not because of himself.
The notes? Worth jackshit because he has 5 more quirks to work through now, all OFA boosted too.

That is just pathetic...wow.

Obito is coolest guy tier pathetic?

> hes constantly handed power ups and constantly being a moralfag like plenty of characters before him.

He had to work for 8 months of weight training in order to just throw an attack that rips apart his body. Everytime he used his powers would break his bones.

> moralfag

You realize this is a show about superheroes right? These aren't really rational complaints.


>he literally is shown so much favoritism that he doesnt have to work hard in order to be better than everyone. I.e 7 extra quirks for no reason when were supposed to believe that hes lucky to even have one.

Multiple quirks were alluded to for almost 4 years. It also makes sense in context. OFA is a quirk that passes on other quirks. it came from AFO, a quirk that takes powers away.

And what the hell do you mean he doesn't have to work hard? There are literally 5 other people that are better than him in his school. He lost to both of his rivals in their respective fights, and even the previous arc villain said that though his quirk was strong, he moves like an ametuer.

The story vastly contradicts all of your complaints.

thank you, king

> in a day.

8 months, and in the process greatly damaging his body.

> was entirely because of OFA,

What the hell does that even mean. Do you get mad when Naruto uses his Shadow Clone Jutsu, a move that he "stole" as well?

> 5 more quirks

We'll see how it's handled. In the end, as stated in the series, a quirk is like a muscle that needs to be trained. You can't just use a quirk and expect to be proficient from Day 1 (Hell, not even year 1). Most likely Deku will have to give the quirks to his classmates as opposed to use them himself.

>Nothing was risked and nothing was gained
I don't read BnHA but doesn't Deku injure himself all the time using OfA? Yeah he got a busted quirk from the number 1 hero but he has to break bones to use it, he's far from mastering it. There's some hard work involved.

No

Its sucking your bully's semen out of your mom's puss pathetic.

>but he has to break bones to use it, he's far from mastering it.
That's it right there. Deku was given the cheat sheet, but in the end he's still far from memorizing all the answers.
Breaking his bones literally don't matter because there's quirks that can heal. Deku doesn't have a permanent injury at all.

Yet he's still a worse character in the series than Gon. Gon is just a small fish in the big picture. Deku is the main focus but he isn't interesting enough to carry the story. BnHA would be much better if it wasn't about Deku being no.1 hero.

>8 months
In a day.
>What the hell does that even mean
Before OFA, what did Deku do that positively affected his budding hero career? His notes? His notes amounted to jackshit.
>We'll see how it's handled.
I can't believe you think Horikoshi can handle it well when he can't even handle Class A correctly besides Bakugo and Todoroki.

Honestly what is the point of having him fawn over his bully so much? Is this a Jap thing or something? I just don't understand why scenes like this would make you want to cheer for Deku at all?

r u dumb bro

> Before OFA, what did Deku do that positively affected his budding hero career? His notes? His notes amounted to jackshit.

He never thought he could be a hero. Even All Might said that you can't be a hero without a quirk. I don't really know what you expect a 5'5 13 year old boy with limited income to do about that, especially when every person in his life had told him the very same thing.

Before I read the series I thought Deku would fight with gadgets he made based on his design. Or maybe he would be like Asta and just lift until he found something he could work with.
I actually read a book that's hilariously similar to BnHA when I was younger. The MC is a powerless guy surrounded by people with powers but he gets by because he's smart from studying.

Attached: oboy.jpg (435x648, 54K)

Holy speedreader.

Where would he get the gadgets? Deku is smart, but he's nowhere near the level dfesign his own gadgets.

Also, there is no way he could workout and design gadgets, as even Mei, while being very intelligent, is abysmal in terms of physical ability.

Say for instance Deku is an super genius. Where would he get the material to create these gadgets? He is limited by his parents income, and as being middle class, would not be able to create major gadgets compared to stand a chance. I'm sure these gagdets would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars minimum.

Also, how would he teach himself how to properly use these gadgets? No matter how smart you are, you need to be trained in how to use them properly, safely, and effectively. Who would take the time to teach him, and what would they have to gain from that?

How would he also deal with multiple opponents? What about quirks that don't really have obvious weaknesses? How would he deal with quirks that give their users enhanced speed so that they can blitz him before he can use his tools?

How would he carry all these tools on his person? Even Mei's gadgets are quite bulky to be used effectively from the word go.

This doesn't really work without greatly changing the premise, and at that point, why not just read something else?

Not to mention how are gadgets different from quirks? Why would the story be better if Deku was using gadgets?

yes

but the mc is kurapika

Fpbp

He's male, so he's automatically shit.

>Such a good friend

The Deku and Bakugo relationship was poorly written. The initial is to portray Bakugo as the worst person out there, but later on the series, we learn so much that Deku is a literal stalker wife

I like Bakugo but Hori really wrote a mess of a relationship.

Fuck no

>8 months, and in the process greatly damaging his body.
This is taken out of context. Deku was taught the quirk wrong and literally the moment he gets taught by Gran Torino, he actually uses it properly. Using it properly, he was pretty much able to fight on par with Bakugo with what's basically base level OFA.

8 months is a decent amount of time but not really enough for a quirk like All Might's. It gets worse knowing he unlocks oh my 7 quirks and gets to 20% pretty soon.
Deku damaging his body mostly comes from AM being a ass teacher. If he was taught by Gran Torino, he would basically be Full Cowl since chapter 10.

>greatly changing the premise
>from one quirk to 7 quirks

Because Batman starting to kill people usually means that the universe of that batman is fucking done. Dark Metal storyline basically shows how much of a terror Batman can be if he ever starts killing. Seriously, a fucking bullet within a bullet

Full Cowling is actually not too strong when compared to other strength quirks though. Just look at the Muscular fight.

Hell, Deku had trouble with a dude who might as well be quirkless (Stain).

>y-you can't be a hero without a quirk bro!
well that doesn't stop knuckle fucking duster from trying. Even the Crawler is a better MC than dekushit

What's so bad about 7 quirks, as shown in the series? Like is there an actual,factual complaint, or do you guys jsut don't like the direction?

It's not an ass pull, as it was hinted several times, including the beginning of the manga.

Is it because it makes Deku a Messiah? Theres no way that can happen,as even with arguably the best quirk in terms of offensive power, he's gotten his ass kicked plenty of times. This is after months of training with the quirk. There is no way Deku can hope to master all these quirks, and the 7 quirks will most likely be accessories. He could also give the quirks to his classmates to power the up.

I mean think about it. Deku nearly killed himself fighting Muscular, and now there are Noomus who have that quirk, along with others? There is no way Deku using just OFA can cut it.

Because Deku will never be as strong as All Might.

He's not a hero though, which in the end, is Dekus dream.

And cmon, what the fuck do you think a 5'5 13 year old boy would compare to a grizzled, buff grown ass man with mountains of muscles.

And he still nearly got his ass kicked when he went against someone with a decently powered quirk.

KD isn't a hero
Not only is he on so many drugs it would literally kill a kid the age of Deku to take them but KD doesn't ever accomplish anything heroic
He convinced Stain to kill Heroes.
Deku stopped Stain.

>or do you guys jsut don't like the direction?
that one.

>he uses roids to get strong!!!
Where did this meme come from? Give me a page that shows it

>KD
he literally only uses painkillers to suppress the pain. And its safe to assume that whatever training to make the heroes tougher than normal humans still works on him since he had a quirk once. Just because he have no quirk didn't mean that his physical body got degraded as well

Imagine being so obsessed with a character you hate because its popular that you go out of your way to spam the same circlejerk bait thread everyday.

when will they stop punching things harder rather than actually save people?

even that side story has more people saving and had more interesting ways to solve things

Except Knuckleduster used to have a quirk and was an experienced hero for years before it was stolen

He uses enough drugs to make Giran who is profiting from it worry
That would kill you

No.

>Knuckleduster used to have a quirk and was an experienced hero for years

He is.

He hasn't cried for like a dozen chapters now

Attached: 1552836410777.png (640x360, 205K)

He hasn't appeared for half a dozen

No.
Author wants him to be the beta-self insert MC and the charismatic hero that's supposed to be the next AM at the same time, his character flips flops constantly between these.

He has the strongest ability in the entire series but we're still supposed to believe he's somehow some sort of underdog, asspulls let him win against overwhelming odds and then jobs like a chump where he should win easily which ends up just making him look incompetent and not qualified for what was bestowed upon him. I won't even get into O MY SEVEN QUIRKS.

And there's there's the much debated point where he's supposed to be super heroic but he only started putting any sort of work after being promised One For All; which I believe could've and should've been executed much better.

His only unique trait was having a Power that broke his body so he sometimes went full madman ignoring the pain with a demented face. He was a generic good nerd with awesome powers but being kinda crazy was nice - remember he IS crazy, since he could have just passed OFA to someone else at any time and ditched hero school. I know I would do that after having my arm burst open.

But right now he's just a nerd with the ability to be really fast and really strong and.. Eh I dunno, he's generic. That's why I was hoping for some dark mode, Deku needs an edge to be interesting.


Also FUCK the fact that his hero notes were never relevant.

OH yes I forgot. This fucking hated MC WANTS TO BE THE NEXT ALL MIGHT. Deku never even jokes nor shows any kind of humor but he wants society to look at him and follow him like AM.?

I'd really like Deku if he was a Spiderman of sorts, trying to fight enemies while running his mouth wild cracking jokes trying to be more like AM but besides naming all of his punches, he never tries to be like his idol.
I hope Deku becomes sharper after a timeskip. I want him to be full smug while styling on people with 60% OFA

japanese nerds are THE ultimate betas.

Nighteye was right Deku can't ever be like AM
Bakugo was right. Deku should've killed himself in chapter 1.

Neither particularly good nor terrible.

He's somehow simoultaneously the shounen sterotype whilst also having an actual personality

Yeah would be better if we had a story that goes straight nowhere. Good writing from Togashit.

no hes a mary sue
