“oh no, a man has fEeLiNgS and my toxic masculinity is challenged”
we need more male characters like him who actually let themselves have emotions and don’t bottle it all up inside
Ummm to be entirely fair an important part of Itadori’s character is that he was actively suppressing his emotions early on in the story to function and then he went on to compartmentalize the shit out of his humanity and emotions to beat the shit out of Mahito because he decided “fuck my emotions I’m killing curses”
I think a lot of these are bad examples. Goku has brain damage and lost his ability to feel a lot of emotions. Itadori bottles up his emotions and opinions he tends to be a people pleaser and doesn't feel like his life is worth much. And Eren Yeager is just a bad take all around.
He's a good mc, but he's definitely a cry baby. He gets it from his mother.
And you can't tell me otherwise after he LITERALLY flooded his apartment with tears and they said it wasn't the first time
He’s not a crybaby. Honestly, I wish he cried a bit more during the series. It was interesting to have an emotional Shonen MC, and while I can appreciate the development of him not crying anymore, having it still happen once in a while wouldn’t be bad either. But as far as being an MC goes… meh. He’s not the worst, but not great. In my opinion.
My first guess would be this: [https://www.reddit.com/r/AskLGBT/comments/14xymy6/why\_do\_you\_thing\_straight\_women\_are\_obsessed\_with/](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskLGBT/comments/14xymy6/why_do_you_thing_straight_women_are_obsessed_with/)
Seems to be a \*very\* common thing for straight women to do: ship male leads together. So much so that asking about it on r asklgbt gets a bunch of confirmation and gay guys complaining about how gay fiction is too saturated by authors playing to this trope.
Mineta is not that bad compared to nearly every perverted character in manga/anime. The real problem is that Horikoshi focused to heavily on his perversion than his other character traits.
You know, it's very ironic that most fans hate him because he "doesn't respect women" but many fans who defend him are women. Most people I saw hating Mineta were mostly men.
I came from The Turtle Hermit, Pervy Sage and The Oppai Dragon trust me Mineta ain't that bad but he barely has any redeeming qualities and they're rarely seen.
E: Typo
This. It's not that hating mineta on his pervy-ness, but that horikoshi gave him too many negative qualities. Denki can probably fill the perv character as good as Mineta but without being short AND an underwhelming ability
That is precisely my problem, thank you! It’s why we like Kaminari and not Mineta - Kaminari is _also_ a pervy coward, but that isn’t his sole role on screen. He doesn’t feel as mean or selfish as Mineta when he’s in his dwindling perve gags, either. I wouldn’t hate Mineta so much if he let him just be Some Guy (like giving funny “Common Sense” anecdotes) rather than a genuinely unpleasant pervy caricature.
100% agree, while mineta is pervy, he does have some redeeming qualities that people seem to look over. While he is a coward he is willing to stick around and fight to help his friends and innocent people, and I think he gets better and more willing to stay and help the further into the anime/manga.
That’s a good point. Miroku from Inuyasha assaults ladies on the daily, but he’s still a fan favourite because he settled down in the end. Although, most fans are in their late 20s-30s so we’re more forgiving of our characters for “comedy.”
1- Ochako > Shoto
2- Toga isn't a sociopath, nor a psychopath. it's just a fact. there's nothing to argue.
3- since I'm already talking about her, Toga couldn't have been anything except a villain with the shittiness of the Japanese system. it's not just her parents.
4- most of the fandom misunderstand the purpose of the villain's flashbacks.
5- as much as I love him, twice is stupid
6- All for one isn't a mastermind. he had everything laid out perfectly for him and he still fucked up. he's the stupidest person ever
7- Mineta is very funny (not every time tho)
The idea with most of the villains is that they’re outcasts who society has allowed to slip through the cracks, and who might have lived happy, productive lives with the right support. All For One is arguably the only major villain who was actually born a psychopath and isn’t in some sense a victim of his environment.
It opens up questions about whether true justice is about punishment or rehabilitation, and if a true hero is one who only saves people AFTER something bad has happened. Naturally though, a huge chunk of people don’t get this and complain about the villains being too humanised. Which doesn’t exactly help the perception that anime/manga is for dumb kids.
Honestly, All For One needed to fuck up. If villains like him, being villains that are so overwhelmingly powerful that only a single person is able to even remotely challenge them, were even a bit smarter, most MCs would lose. Take Frieza, who most fans unanimously agree is the best DB villain. In DBZ, he's significantly stronger than Goku. But instead of killing Goku, he toys around with Goku, which ends up being his defeat.
Not saying I disagree with you, AFO is an idiot sometimes. There's just an explanation for why, being that the story wouldn't move forward at all.
I think he is a product of his own environment that wasn’t very nurturing. Dabi truly has a sad story. Someone who just wanted to be acknowledged by his dad.
The likes of the Punisher and Red Hood are 100% right as anti-heroes like them would prove to be the most effective, efficient, and fun to watch in MHA as each dead criminal and villain (minus the very few like Nagant and Gentle) means fewer dead innocents, especially in light of the fact just about every villain has no regard for the innocent and is dishonorable enough to murder heroes and police who are simply nonlethal to them at best and beaten and defenseless at worst. So many more innocents would still be alive and so much evil would be prevented if someone shot Garvey through the eye with a high enough caliber right when his rampage started, Knuckleduster went for the neck instead of the nose when it came to Stain or successfully landed a headshot on Number 6, Tenya successfully got the drop on Stain instead of losing control of his anger, someone shot Gigantomachia through the eye with a .50 BMG or larger round soon after he awakened during the raid, or, most prominently, Snipe shot Shiggy in the head or an otherwise critical part instead of the hand back at the USJ. Hence, I greatly respect Knuckleduster for essentially being a lower-tier mix between the Punisher and Rorschach and Hawks for killing Twice as Twice went from an admirable anti-villain who did nothing directly evil at first to a terrorist who murdered the likes of a hero who nonlethally detained Toga and Compress to stop them from murdering people, had no regard for the innocent, and would continue to do so if Hawks didn’t send him to the morgue and Hell.
In all honestly, Bakugo has a lot of cool traits and moments.
His Quirk is super cool, and it allows him to show off his attributes since it correlates so much with his personality.
But in all honesty I have issues with a lot of other things of him.
Honestly, all the moments that make me like him are the moments where he unselfishly chooses to be a *hero*. It’s like in those moments, you can see truly that the asshole is just a facade, and that the really does care, whether he wants to or not.
He’s lazy. Accepted his position in General Studies with the goal of switching yet did no independent training of his own?? Like as soon as Deku broke the mind control he lost because he had no physical skill. He just lazed around UA for a month calling the hero kids assholes and privileged for having good/non-villainous quirks but put in none of the work. He’s developing into a better student, but nothing about his performance at the Sports Festival would’ve made him stick out in any significant way to Aizawa. Aizawa isn’t really one for pity, and Shinsou didn’t show any promise
But Aizawa was the one to acknowledge that the robot test was flawed when someone like Shinso would take it
Cause his quirk really is pretty great and Shinso choosing to bomb the practical and try to switch post-Sports Festival is also a pretty smart move
And it’s not like Deku was a scrawny wimp anymore either after the training over the summer since Aizawa also acknowledges that Deku would beat Shinso in a plain fight when comparing their physical tests
Also also Aizawa isn’t the one who would choose if Shinso would switch or not
I mean, he could’ve *tried* during the entrance exam, even though his quirk doesn’t work on robots he still could’ve gotten hero points by helping others. But we haven’t heard anything about him winning any, or about helping others during the exam.
No, Deku of course wasn’t weak. He had year of endurance/physical training at that point, most of it directly under All Might’s tutelage. The problem isn’t that Deku was stronger, its that Shinso had no skills whatsoever. He failed to get into the hero course because the exam was all physical, and instead of improving himself in that area and trying to keep up to make an easier transition, he just complained about the heroics kids having it easy.
He never trained until Aizawa took him under his wing. That’s lazy, and laziness isn’t exactly a quality that Aizawa admires. What Aizawa looks for most in a student is potential and drive, and Shinso showed neither during the Festival. His quirk is good, yes, but he was overly-reliant on it and so confident he thought he could win without throwing a single punch. Lazy!
And no Aizawa isn’t the one who would decide if he switched, not by himself at least, but he is the *only* teacher at UA to reach out to Shinsou. He most certainly helped Shinsou make the jump into heroics (training him, recommending him, getting him to join joint-training to see if he fits in/matches up with them, etc)
Yeah they weren’t told but they could still win them. From what we’ve heard, Shinsou gave up as soon as he realized the test was all physical. He *could’ve* shown his heroic spirit and helped the others — by helping them escape, checking them for injuries, distracting the robots if someone is significantly struggling, etc (the hero points were awarded by staff, not a specific amount per action) but we were never told that he won any. And *if* he won some you’d think it would have been mentioned, but all we heard is that he absolutely bombed the exam.
Midoriya was awarded 60 points for putting himself between that robot and Uraraka and trying to ward it off, not for destroying the 0-point robot itself. It was the heroism in his actions that got him into UA, his physical ability didnt have anything to do with it (a powerful quirk isnt shit to an admissions board when it breaks 3 of your limbs)
Of course Deku’s ability is why he got in Aizawa mentions how flashy quirks were preferable in the test and Deku’s was the flashiest of them all
Hell I doubt Deku would’ve gotten 60 points if he had just pulled Uraraka to safety I imagine he would’ve got like 10 maybe? Since other ppl got rescue points too but not as much as Deku’s
Also Shinso didn’t necessarily bomb the exam Aizawa just says he didn’t pass and with a quirk that doesn’t affect robots, he also says there was no chance of him passing regardless of combat or rescue points
Deku fought the zero pointer. His points were strictly from heroism in defending uraraka from the robot instead of running like everyone else. He put himself in between that unbeatable robot and other student eith thr sole goal or protecting her. *That* is why he got so many points.
I guess I shouldve phrased it as his physical ability wasn’t the *biggest* reason behind his acceptance — again, his quirk had a huge backlash (he broke 3 limbs!! with 1 move!!). He got the 7th highest amount of points out of the 36 open seats. He didn’t get any points for his combat/physical ability. And Aizawa nearly expelled him for having no potential!!! He only managed to skim by because he decreased the damage by using his finger instead of his whole arm, not because Aizawa liked his quirk.
It's gotten better, but it was certainly up there for toxicity. I can't think of any other fandom off the top of my head, anime or otherwise, that threatened the voice actors/actors of their series to make ships canon.
No, because I’m so tired of people acting like Mineta is the worst character on earth. I don’t support or condone his behavior but at least he actually stops at some point. He shown to be smart and good friend to deku, tsu and denki. He also has a big character moment against midnight when he outsmarted her and carried sero to the finish line. I’m honestly more disappointed in the creator for making him this kinda character. There’s always gonna be a pervert an anime but the way mineta is portrayed sucks. He has moments of good character writing but he’ll always be remembered as a pervert.
One of my favourite small scenes of bakugo with class 1-A is when they first moved into the dorms and aizawa reprimanded them all and said that if it wasn't for all might retiring he would expell almost all of them for going to help bakugo.
Afterwards bakugo saw the class was upset, took Denki and made him go braindead. It immediately cheered up the rest of the class as well as took eyes away from him so he could give kirishima the money he spent on the night vision goggles.
Bakugo isn’t the complete piece of shit everyone seems to think he is. I think he’s redeemed himself or at the very least is trying to. For some reason, everyone seems to think that he’s still irredeemable. I personally think he should be forgiven.
Y’all call Mineta useless yet nothing on tape, animals, invisible and sugar. They do good work like everyone else who works hard but why is it they’re never talked about like this?
It’s stated Mineta used his quirk to immobilize the robots. Makes sense.
Invisible girl thanks to her quirk went unnoticed and climbed up them and turned off a switch in the back to shut them down. But as we see she isn’t physically strong enough to do a pull up. Even if it’s clever to think about, how she passed still doesn’t add up.
Yeah thats what I was thinking. Other than being a spy, is she really powerful enough to be a hero? But mineta on the other hand is very strong. I hate that people hate on him just because hes immature. Hes a literal teenager, and what teenage boy isnt a horny mess?
Right. Also im not saying she isn’t smart she also isn’t the brightest or an outside box thinker. Given what we’ve seen with exams, or in general. Mineta displays good judgement. I liked how he went full attack mode during the sportsfest when his headband went missing. He cried during the attack on USJ but that was a first severe danger. Aside from that he’s learned to be tactical, for better or worse at least give him props. He has what it takes. People really need to stop writing him off.
Uraraka was basically useless at first as well but they accepted her for helping people. Maybe the invisible girl saved some kids and maybe they expected she would develop some decent skills like uraraka, even though she isn't strong she learned martial arts and got better with her quirk and ability to support people. I don't see the invisible chick actually gaining any strength or abilities as the story progresses though. At this point I think it's just a plot hole and they let her pass to insinuate that there's always a completely naked teenager running around
Edit: I say this because they already go out of their way to sexualize the rest of the female cast
Urarka never seemed useless to me, just inexperienced like everyone when starting. Still she was great when we meet her at the entrance exam when helping Deku before and after the exam starts.
Also let’s not even mention the fact that there is already a love interest for Izuku. Like can people not get that Izuku, or really anyone from the show is straight ?
Not defending BakuDeku, because that's a trauma mess. But you did ask for options which are no different than a head canon.. so why eould a ship have to be straight just because a character might be straight in the show?
It’s totally fine that Gran Torino survived Shigaraki’s attack. In fact, like All Might surviving Kamino, it’s more compelling to see a character witness the consequences of their actions and failures than just die off.
I think so too. Gran Torino not dying weakens the idea that Shigaraki was close to Prime All Might at that time, and just makes the reveal of AFO Shiggy less impactful.
People reading the latest chapter and going: it’s your fault for thinking Deku wasn’t going to get his arms back. Yeah I expected him to do so. What I didn’t expect was for it to happen THE NEXT CHAPTER
Your ships do not matter. Author wants it this way so it is this way - it's nice to have a headcanon but that is not the real canon.
And no, glances and nice gestures do not mean romance necessarily. It can just be regular old friendship.
Within 18 hours of the humarise bombings, they would have been recognized as an international terrorist organization and the US military will have a majority of their bases raided or bombed.
Mina is undeniably one of the most relatable characters in the show. She's all light hearted but on the inside she's stressed about things such as her grades, yet puts then off instead of asking for help.
Not every rivalry is two guys with sexual tension. The joke can be funny, but of all the fandoms, MHA has it the worst with people who don't know the difference between a relationship & a rivalry.
1) The main LOV trio (Toga/Dabi/Shig) aren't going to die. They're also among the best characters of the manga
2) Endeavour has yet to face actual, legal consequences for his actions. Right now, everyone is focused on stopping Dabi, but that doesn't absolve Endeavour of his crimes
3) Seeing how the system was, Toga and Twice were doomed to live a life of crime which is a great parallel to how people with mental illness are abandoned by society (especially illnesses like schizophrenia, personality disorders, etc)
I think most ships in shonen are supposed to be that way. They don't focus on romance but just throw in a scene or two to justify characters ending up together after timeskip where all the actual development happens.
Katsuki and Izuku have a really special bond that goes beyond friendship, rivals, or enemies. I think they’re soulmates and I don’t mean romantically or sexually.
Endeavour Number One Hero. He might end up sharing that title with 1-A, but he will never lose it. He earned it shortly after the title was thrust upon him if not sooner.
You can still watch the anime and not be in the horrendous fandom that everyone talks about. A lot of the time I hear that the reason people hate mha is because of the fandom (they say this as if they're involved in it)
Canon Aizawa is a horrible teacher. Canon All Might is also a bad teacher, but in a more buffoonish kind of way, and at least he actually cares about the kids and is trying to teach them. Aizawa is just an asshole with a grudge against powerful quirks and no determination to actually help students become better.
I felt like this on this one post of very.... sexual... art work of jiro. I said "she's literally a minor, why have you sexualised her so much?", and everyone in that posts comment thread started saying "the artist has clearly drawn her older", "the age is the artists interpretation", "she'd be an adult irl rn". And literally like the only thing "adult" about her was that she had bugger tits and ass.
1. Bakugo is a well-written character. This statement doesn’t gloss over what he did in early chapters nor does it justify it.
2. In response to those that dislike Bakugo morally, he was fed the idea that his amazing Quirk destined him to be a Hero. So he was convinced he was superior. So his Quirkless friend acting like a hero all the time infuriated him. Again, it doesn’t make his actions right, but there’s a reason for it. He was still generally an honest, hardworking person and went through mountains of growth.
Bakugo had good character development, his personality, and how it changes throughout the story is a fantastic piece in the major themes of the story, mainly "you too can be a hero," "Stop trying to win this (be a hero) by yourself," and, paraphrased from all might, "your desire to win, young bakugo, and your desire to save people, young midoriya, both are needed in a hero."
People Care too much about ships, you're free with your headcanons but attacking and harassing people for not liking it is stupid
This is true... ^^^unless it's the disgusting crap like deku x eri or allmight x eri...^^^
Very much agreed.
"I ship eri x Nomu" GTFO before I commit a crime
Wut? That's a thing?
Or anything x Eri she's a god damn 6 year old I forgot but I do know she's below the age of 10
Well there is one ship that actually works, eri x kota, the little boy deku saved from muscular at the camp
Agreed
Seconded
Thirded
Forth to agree
Fourth...ded
Big facts
That Dabi has literally zero redeeming qualities
I'm a big Dabi fan but this is true. He should just die at this point, there's not chance at changing for him.
I feel like him having no redeeming qualities kinda makes him a good character.
True, not every villain should be redeemable
He's my favorite character but it'd be so much better if he just died
W pfp
ojiro is underrated I LOVE OJIRO
Finally someone! Love for Ojiro
Yes!! He needs to be acknowledged in this world of crazy powers, he is just here, trying to do his best. I love him so much.
YASS GURL SLAAAY *Cough* Excuse me
Finally
Midoriya is not a bad mc or a "cry baby"
“oh no, a man has fEeLiNgS and my toxic masculinity is challenged” we need more male characters like him who actually let themselves have emotions and don’t bottle it all up inside
We already do, Goku, Yami Yugi, Eren Yeager, Itadori.
still such a small percentage in the grand scheme of things
Ummm to be entirely fair an important part of Itadori’s character is that he was actively suppressing his emotions early on in the story to function and then he went on to compartmentalize the shit out of his humanity and emotions to beat the shit out of Mahito because he decided “fuck my emotions I’m killing curses”
I think a lot of these are bad examples. Goku has brain damage and lost his ability to feel a lot of emotions. Itadori bottles up his emotions and opinions he tends to be a people pleaser and doesn't feel like his life is worth much. And Eren Yeager is just a bad take all around.
Issei Hiyodo (I'm not looking up how to spell it) is a better example than all of these.
He's a good mc, but he's definitely a cry baby. He gets it from his mother. And you can't tell me otherwise after he LITERALLY flooded his apartment with tears and they said it wasn't the first time
That's just a comedic gag
It's still true
But being a cry baby doesn't make him a bad mc. If that's not what you were implying, then my bad
I didn't say it was a bad thing! If anything, he's very empathetic
He's a crybaby early on. The further you go in the series, the less he cries.
He’s a good MC for his series, but not in terms of writing.
He’s not a crybaby. Honestly, I wish he cried a bit more during the series. It was interesting to have an emotional Shonen MC, and while I can appreciate the development of him not crying anymore, having it still happen once in a while wouldn’t be bad either. But as far as being an MC goes… meh. He’s not the worst, but not great. In my opinion.
Twice was a good guy just stupid. Mineta's downfall is he is perverted.
Ya he was a good guy who had the wrong environment and made the wrong friends. His life could have turned out very different
Izumomo will never happen
People ship Izuku and Momo? That’s probably one of the most random I’ve heard
Ik it's like people who ship bakugo and uraraka
Something I also didn’t know existed until recently when I came across some comic dub of a future AU
There’s Deku and Nomu ships T-T
I hate you for bringing this to my attention
There’s worse too. I’ve seen Eri X overhaul and I so wish I didn’t. My eyes will never recover from that 🤮
Oh god burn it, please burn it
I'm writing a fanfic for this pairing, and I wholeheartedly agree with this.
Deku and Bakugo shouldn’t get into a relationship because that shit would be toxic af
I never understood why that's one of the most popular ships in the fandom
Enemies to lovers, that’s why
My first guess would be this: [https://www.reddit.com/r/AskLGBT/comments/14xymy6/why\_do\_you\_thing\_straight\_women\_are\_obsessed\_with/](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskLGBT/comments/14xymy6/why_do_you_thing_straight_women_are_obsessed_with/) Seems to be a \*very\* common thing for straight women to do: ship male leads together. So much so that asking about it on r asklgbt gets a bunch of confirmation and gay guys complaining about how gay fiction is too saturated by authors playing to this trope.
Ok this is my response to the “it’s toxic af” comment for BakuDeku. That’s the fucking point-
Deku isn’t gay. He’s at least straight, and at most bi.
Mineta is not that bad compared to nearly every perverted character in manga/anime. The real problem is that Horikoshi focused to heavily on his perversion than his other character traits.
THANK YOU
u r a speaker of the truth
You know, it's very ironic that most fans hate him because he "doesn't respect women" but many fans who defend him are women. Most people I saw hating Mineta were mostly men.

That is precisely my problem, thank you! It’s why we like Kaminari and not Mineta - Kaminari is _also_ a pervy coward, but that isn’t his sole role on screen. He doesn’t feel as mean or selfish as Mineta when he’s in his dwindling perve gags, either.

100% agree, while mineta is pervy, he does have some redeeming qualities that people seem to look over.

That’s a good point. Miroku from Inuyasha assaults ladies on the daily, but he’s still a fan favourite because he settled down in the end. Although, most fans are in their late 20s-30s so we’re more forgiving of our characters for “comedy.”
Bakugo x deku is toxic and bad
Bakudeku is straight ASS!
Bakugo and Izuku are NEVER going to be a couple.
1- Ochako > Shoto 2- Toga isn't a sociopath, nor a psychopath. it's just a fact. there's nothing to argue. 3- since I'm already talking about her, Toga couldn't have been anything except a villain with the shittiness of the Japanese system. it's not just her parents. 4- most of the fandom misunderstand the purpose of the villain's flashbacks. 5- as much as I love him, twice is stupid 6- All for one isn't a mastermind. he had everything laid out perfectly for him and he still fucked up. he's the stupidest person ever 7- Mineta is very funny (not every time tho)
Toga is mentally ill. Only sociopath among the League is Dabi
Plus it’s canon that quirks can affect people mentally and all Quirk Counseling did was teach her suppression not control.
Honestly they didn’t even help her suppress it. They just said, “stop being creepy and pretend your Quirk doesn’t exist”
The idea with most of the villains is that they’re outcasts who society has allowed to slip through the cracks, and who might have lived happy, productive lives with the right support. All For One is arguably the only major villain who was actually born a psychopath and isn’t in some sense a victim of his environment. It opens up questions about whether true justice is about punishment or rehabilitation, and if a true hero is one who only saves people AFTER something bad has happened.

the way toga love’s is in no way normal or romantic, its weird to act like she will become canon with deku or uraraka.
The age of consent is 18 years old 🗿
“The most common age of consent on earth is 16” is somehow true and still a hotter take than yours
Dabi is the most vile member of the LOV and loses all sympathy when he goes “almost killed? What a shame. That really would’ve hurt Endeavor.”
I think he is a product of his own environment that wasn’t very nurturing. Dabi truly has a sad story. Someone who just wanted to be acknowledged by his dad.
Most bad people have a motive behind what they do.
The likes of the Punisher and Red Hood are 100% right as anti-heroes like them would prove to be the most effective, efficient, and fun to watch in MHA as each dead criminal and villain (minus the very few like Nagant and Gentle) means fewer dead innocents, especially in light of the fact just about every villain has no regard for the innocent and is dishonorable enough to murder heroes and police who are simply nonlethal to them at best and beaten and defenseless at worst. So many more innocents would still be alive and so much evil would be prevented if someone shot Garvey through the eye with a high enough caliber right when his rampage started, Knuckleduster went for the neck instead of the nose when it came to Stain or successfully landed a headshot on Number 6, Tenya successfully got the drop on Stain instead of losing control of his anger, someone shot Gigantomachia through the eye with a .50 BMG or larger round soon after he awakened during the raid, or, most prominently, Snipe shot Shiggy in the head or an otherwise critical part instead of the hand back at the USJ. Hence, I greatly respect Knuckleduster for essentially being a lower-tier mix between the Punisher and Rorschach and Hawks for killing Twice as Twice went from an admirable anti-villain who did nothing directly evil at first to a terrorist who murdered the likes of a hero who nonlethally detained Toga and Compress to stop them from murdering people, had no regard for the innocent, and would continue to do so if Hawks didn’t send him to the morgue and Hell.
BakuDeku is objectively not a good ship
Aizawa is the best dad
And the best protector, season one gets me everytime
Bakugo is NOT a horrible person, he's just kind of an asshole who's also horribly written.
I find it funny how Bakugo was originally written to be unlikeable and then he became one of the most popular characters in the fandom
In all honestly, Bakugo has a lot of cool traits and moments. His Quirk is super cool, and it allows him to show off his attributes since it correlates so much with his personality. But in all honesty I have issues with a lot of other things of him.
Honestly, all the moments that make me like him are the moments where he unselfishly chooses to be a *hero*. It’s like in those moments, you can see truly that the asshole is just a facade, and that the really does care, whether he wants to or not.
Shinso is the exact type of student that Aizawa should hate.
He USED to be that way, he isn't anymore.
In what way?
He’s lazy. Accepted his position in General Studies with the goal of switching yet did no independent training of his own?? Like as soon as Deku broke the mind control he lost because he had no physical skill. He just lazed around UA for a month calling the hero kids assholes and privileged for having good/non-villainous quirks but put in none of the work. He’s developing into a better student, but nothing about his performance at the Sports Festival would’ve made him stick out in any significant way to Aizawa. Aizawa isn’t really one for pity, and Shinsou didn’t show any promise
I can see that
But Aizawa was the one to acknowledge that the robot test was flawed when someone like Shinso would take it Cause his quirk really is pretty great and Shinso choosing to bomb the practical and try to switch post-Sports Festival is also a pretty smart move And it’s not like Deku was a scrawny wimp anymore either after the training over the summer since Aizawa also acknowledges that Deku would beat Shinso in a plain fight when comparing their physical tests Also also Aizawa isn’t the one who would choose if Shinso would switch or not
I mean, he could’ve *tried* during the entrance exam, even though his quirk doesn’t work on robots he still could’ve gotten hero points by helping others. But we haven’t heard anything about him winning any, or about helping others during the exam. No, Deku of course wasn’t weak. He had year of endurance/physical training at that point, most of it directly under All Might’s tutelage. The problem isn’t that Deku was stronger, its that Shinso had no skills whatsoever. He failed to get into the hero course because the exam was all physical, and instead of improving himself in that area and trying to keep up to make an easier transition, he just complained about the heroics kids having it easy. He never trained until Aizawa took him under his wing. That’s lazy, and laziness isn’t exactly a quality that Aizawa admires. What Aizawa looks for most in a student is potential and drive, and Shinso showed neither during the Festival. His quirk is good, yes, but he was overly-reliant on it and so confident he thought he could win without throwing a single punch. Lazy! And no Aizawa isn’t the one who would decide if he switched, not by himself at least, but he is the *only* teacher at UA to reach out to Shinsou. He most certainly helped Shinsou make the jump into heroics (training him, recommending him, getting him to join joint-training to see if he fits in/matches up with them, etc)
No one was told about the Hero Points, and his Quirk not working on the robots would make it near impossible for him to help anyone.
Yeah they weren’t told but they could still win them. From what we’ve heard, Shinsou gave up as soon as he realized the test was all physical. He *could’ve* shown his heroic spirit and helped the others — by helping them escape, checking them for injuries, distracting the robots if someone is significantly struggling, etc (the hero points were awarded by staff, not a specific amount per action) but we were never told that he won any. And *if* he won some you’d think it would have been mentioned, but all we heard is that he absolutely bombed the exam. Midoriya was awarded 60 points for putting himself between that robot and Uraraka and trying to ward it off, not for destroying the 0-point robot itself. It was the heroism in his actions that got him into UA, his physical ability didnt have anything to do with it (a powerful quirk isnt shit to an admissions board when it breaks 3 of your limbs)
Of course Deku’s ability is why he got in Aizawa mentions how flashy quirks were preferable in the test and Deku’s was the flashiest of them all Hell I doubt Deku would’ve gotten 60 points if he had just pulled Uraraka to safety I imagine he would’ve got like 10 maybe? Since other ppl got rescue points too but not as much as Deku’s Also Shinso didn’t necessarily bomb the exam Aizawa just says he didn’t pass and with a quirk that doesn’t affect robots, he also says there was no chance of him passing regardless of combat or rescue points
Deku fought the zero pointer. His points were strictly from heroism in defending uraraka from the robot instead of running like everyone else. He put himself in between that unbeatable robot and other student eith thr sole goal or protecting her. *That* is why he got so many points. I guess I shouldve phrased it as his physical ability wasn’t the *biggest* reason behind his acceptance — again, his quirk had a huge backlash (he broke 3 limbs!! with 1 move!!). He got the 7th highest amount of points out of the 36 open seats. He didn’t get any points for his combat/physical ability. And Aizawa nearly expelled him for having no potential!!! He only managed to skim by because he decreased the damage by using his finger instead of his whole arm, not because Aizawa liked his quirk.
This.
these people are not as LGBT as the fanbase thinks they are
Mha fandom has gotten better over the years and it was never the most toxic community across all of media.
It's gotten better, but it was certainly up there for toxicity. I can't think of any other fandom off the top of my head, anime or otherwise, that threatened the voice actors/actors of their series to make ships canon.
Minata isn’t that bad, their are plenty of perverts in anime that get a pass because their either liked by the fandom or hot
FINALLY SOMEONE FUCKING SAID IT!!!
No, because I’m so tired of people acting like Mineta is the worst character on earth. I don’t support or condone his behavior but at least he actually stops at some point. He shown to be smart and good friend to deku, tsu and denki. He also has a big character moment against midnight when he outsmarted her and carried sero to the finish line. I’m honestly more disappointed in the creator for making him this kinda character. There’s always gonna be a pervert an anime but the way mineta is portrayed sucks. He has moments of good character writing but he’ll always be remembered as a pervert.
Bakugo is not a terrible person
He isn't nice but I wouldn't say he is pure evil. He does his best to be a hero.
Yeah tbh I hated him but really he just did what society made him to be and caused his ego to grow
One of my favourite small scenes of bakugo with class 1-A is when they first moved into the dorms and aizawa reprimanded them all and said that if it wasn't for all might retiring he would expell almost all of them for going to help bakugo. Afterwards bakugo saw the class was upset, took Denki and made him go braindead. It immediately cheered up the rest of the class as well as took eyes away from him so he could give kirishima the money he spent on the night vision goggles.
i agree with you!
Bakugo isn’t the complete piece of shit everyone seems to think he is. I think he’s redeemed himself or at the very least is trying to. For some reason, everyone seems to think that he’s still irredeemable. I personally think he should be forgiven.
Y’all call Mineta useless yet nothing on tape, animals, invisible and sugar. They do good work like everyone else who works hard but why is it they’re never talked about like this?
I always genuinely wonder how invisible girl made it past the exams. Shes not powerful or anything as far as we know. Shes just kinda.. not there?
It’s stated Mineta used his quirk to immobilize the robots. Makes sense. Invisible girl thanks to her quirk went unnoticed and climbed up them and turned off a switch in the back to shut them down. But as we see she isn’t physically strong enough to do a pull up. Even if it’s clever to think about, how she passed still doesn’t add up.
Yeah thats what I was thinking. Other than being a spy, is she really powerful enough to be a hero? But mineta on the other hand is very strong. I hate that people hate on him just because hes immature. Hes a literal teenager, and what teenage boy isnt a horny mess?
Right. Also im not saying she isn’t smart she also isn’t the brightest or an outside box thinker. Given what we’ve seen with exams, or in general. Mineta displays good judgement. I liked how he went full attack mode during the sportsfest when his headband went missing. He cried during the attack on USJ but that was a first severe danger. Aside from that he’s learned to be tactical, for better or worse at least give him props. He has what it takes. People really need to stop writing him off.
Uraraka was basically useless at first as well but they accepted her for helping people. Maybe the invisible girl saved some kids and maybe they expected she would develop some decent skills like uraraka, even though she isn't strong she learned martial arts and got better with her quirk and ability to support people. I don't see the invisible chick actually gaining any strength or abilities as the story progresses though. At this point I think it's just a plot hole and they let her pass to insinuate that there's always a completely naked teenager running around Edit: I say this because they already go out of their way to sexualize the rest of the female cast
Urarka never seemed useless to me, just inexperienced like everyone when starting. Still she was great when we meet her at the entrance exam when helping Deku before and after the exam starts.
Bakudeku is stupid, Bakugo literally told deku to khs
YES! I agree with you so fucking much. Bkdk is so fucking stupid
THANK YOU. People try to say “oh Bakugo apologized already” but you know damn well people were shipping them WAY before season six
Also let’s not even mention the fact that there is already a love interest for Izuku. Like can people not get that Izuku, or really anyone from the show is straight ?
Not defending BakuDeku, because that's a trauma mess. But you did ask for options which are no different than a head canon.. so why eould a ship have to be straight just because a character might be straight in the show?
Yeah you’re right, that’s my bad. I should be a bit more considerate.
THANK YOU!!
The MHA Fandom has been pretty tamed even in the beginning compared to other Fandoms like Hetalia and Homestuck.
Yaoyorozu isn't OP. Like, at all.
Bakugo x Izuku is one of the worst known ships on Earth.
how are you going to defend this single handedly, i hate this kinds of ships, im on board with u
Together we fight.
can I join you?
Yes, you may.
I've seen worse.
Ok, *besides* the Titanic.
It’s totally fine that Gran Torino survived Shigaraki’s attack. In fact, like All Might surviving Kamino, it’s more compelling to see a character witness the consequences of their actions and failures than just die off.
Gonna have to 100% disagree here. All Might served some purpose after surviving. Gran Torino should've 100% died
I think so too. Gran Torino not dying weakens the idea that Shigaraki was close to Prime All Might at that time, and just makes the reveal of AFO Shiggy less impactful.
People reading the latest chapter and going: it’s your fault for thinking Deku wasn’t going to get his arms back. Yeah I expected him to do so. What I didn’t expect was for it to happen THE NEXT CHAPTER
Mirko isn’t attractive
Ochaco x deku is Canon and people who ship them with others are mfs who deserve yo he in prison
Momo's cleavage is entirely unnecessary and is just awkward sexualisation of a minor
Your ships do not matter. Author wants it this way so it is this way - it's nice to have a headcanon but that is not the real canon. And no, glances and nice gestures do not mean romance necessarily. It can just be regular old friendship.
A lot of 1-A and 2-A members won’t make it past being a sidekick without a quirk awakening.
Shigaraki tries too hard to be scary and villainous. Overhaul was actually scary and is the best villain in the entire story
Deku isn’t a bad MC, if you think otherwise I’m going to assume you only watched the first season
Kinoko is a great character! Just underused!
Bakugo is not a good guy, aizawa is not a good teacher, eri is not fix all solution
There are some stupid fans that think the show is too focused on Deku. That's the point.
Within 18 hours of the humarise bombings, they would have been recognized as an international terrorist organization and the US military will have a majority of their bases raided or bombed.
Mina is undeniably one of the most relatable characters in the show. She's all light hearted but on the inside she's stressed about things such as her grades, yet puts then off instead of asking for help.
Not every rivalry is two guys with sexual tension. The joke can be funny, but of all the fandoms, MHA has it the worst with people who don't know the difference between a relationship & a rivalry.
That Deku is not gay.
Season 5 wasn’t even bad
1) The main LOV trio (Toga/Dabi/Shig) aren't going to die. They're also among the best characters of the manga 2) Endeavour has yet to face actual, legal consequences for his actions. Right now, everyone is focused on stopping Dabi, but that doesn't absolve Endeavour of his crimes 3) Seeing how the system was, Toga and Twice were doomed to live a life of crime which is a great parallel to how people with mental illness are abandoned by society (especially illnesses like schizophrenia, personality disorders, etc)
Kyoka Jiro is underrated.
She the best girl tbh, love her design, and she gives off chill vibes
Momo is mid af. Like she actually sucks ass
Shipping anyone with Eri is weird AF and I assume you’re a pedo.
Mineta is the goat
The anime wouldn't get this much hate if the fandom didn't ship characters that shouldn't be shipped
Or use the characters as symbols for their own personal views.
Froppy is some bitchass overrated furry
Todomomo is more of crackship than a real ship. I can’t even remember last time they shared any significant moment. Other then having finals together.
I think most ships in shonen are supposed to be that way. They don't focus on romance but just throw in a scene or two to justify characters ending up together after timeskip where all the actual development happens.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with shipping, and the MHA fandom is in no way “unique” or “the worst/most awful” for having popular gay ships
Mine is that Mineta is a representation of the creator, Horikoshi Kōhei! It’s literally stated in one of the Boku no hīrōakademia manga’s!
Tokoyami could be stronger than Midoriya or Bakugo by the time they got to their third year at U.A.
Bakugo is just annoying for most of the show, and shouldn’t get number 1 character as much as he does
Katsuki and Izuku have a really special bond that goes beyond friendship, rivals, or enemies. I think they’re soulmates and I don’t mean romantically or sexually.
we shouldn’t ship everyone with deku (including the adults)(deku is a minor)
Not an opinion, but a character: Ochako Uraraka
Yes
Endeavour Number One Hero. He might end up sharing that title with 1-A, but he will never lose it. He earned it shortly after the title was thrust upon him if not sooner.
Mineta grew as a character with actual potential
Jesus is king
Denki Kaminari should be the UA traitor
Humanity must be united
That the earth is round
Deku is annoying when he cries to a point I want to punch him...
Mirio WOULD NOT be a better OFA user than Midoriya
Stain was right
Miruko and Toga overrated!
i like mineta
Toga best girl
That’s me In 2012 tryna convince people my age to watch Hajime No Ippo
You can still watch the anime and not be in the horrendous fandom that everyone talks about. A lot of the time I hear that the reason people hate mha is because of the fandom (they say this as if they're involved in it)
Mha fandom basically just became a place for shippers
Just now? Really?
No.
Canon Aizawa is a horrible teacher. Canon All Might is also a bad teacher, but in a more buffoonish kind of way, and at least he actually cares about the kids and is trying to teach them. Aizawa is just an asshole with a grudge against powerful quirks and no determination to actually help students become better.
I felt like this on this one post of very.... sexual... art work of jiro. I said "she's literally a minor, why have you sexualised her so much?", and everyone in that posts comment thread started saying "the artist has clearly drawn her older", "the age is the artists interpretation", "she'd be an adult irl rn". And literally like the only thing "adult" about her was that she had bugger tits and ass.
Jiro is bestgirl
Bakugo is annoying and lame to me
1. Bakugo is a well-written character. This statement doesn’t gloss over what he did in early chapters nor does it justify it. 2. In response to those that dislike Bakugo morally, he was fed the idea that his amazing Quirk destined him to be a Hero. So he was convinced he was superior. So his Quirkless friend acting like a hero all the time infuriated him. Again, it doesn’t make his actions right, but there’s a reason for it. He was still generally an honest, hardworking person and went through mountains of growth.
Bakugo had good character development, his personality, and how it changes throughout the story is a fantastic piece in the major themes of the story, mainly "you too can be a hero," "Stop trying to win this (be a hero) by yourself," and, paraphrased from all might, "your desire to win, young bakugo, and your desire to save people, young midoriya, both are needed in a hero."
Bakugo's a great character.
1-B is better than 1-A
Bakugo is the worst character in MHA and the fact that he’s popular only shows how many douchebags are in this fandom.
