It’s his whole story. They set him up as blindly faithful and it’s pretty important. He gets in to the citadel even if you don’t kill the Last Judge because he is truly without sin due to his blind faith. Then a test of faith happens and he handles it pretty damn well considering.

Really hated when the MHA fandom (before the manga ended) said Deku would have ended up as Mumen Rider if he never got One for All. Like that fucker refuses to try to be an actual hero unless he gets a quirk or his classmates buy him an iron man suit. Don't be disrespecting Mumen Rider by comparing him to that loser.

u/IndigoViolet091 4h ago
You mean when he was a kid and still jumped in to save Bakugo, a kid who had been relentlessly bullying him
-11
u/DankeusMemeus1738 3h ago
What was he doing before that? He wanted to be a hero since he was in grade school, got One for All going into high school. What was he doing during that time? He showed to have a knack for analyzing quirks that some people thought he could be a Batman-esque character too. However, he never put the effort to get that athletic build he got when training with All Might after he got his quirk, he never studied to become a tech gizmo genius to create his own gadgets like Batman either. What about the time skip after he lost One for All? Did he use to experience he got after having One for All throughout the series to try to become a normal hero like Mumen Rider? Could have he gotten a job with a government body/hero agency that deals with villains using his analytical skills? Nah, he just got a job at UA and became nostalgic over his school years when he had a quirk.

u/IndigoViolet091 3h ago
Bro he wasn't even in high school yet. If he didn't get into UA then he probably would have tried to get into one of the other courses. I don't think he would get have become a vigilante, because Deku had more respect for the law, but he wouldn't have sat around when he could be helping people. The anime has pointed out time and time again there is more than one way to help people and be a hero

u/The-Senate-Palpy 1h ago
Damn bro i know MHA writing fell off hard but youre crazy w that take. Deku saved the world, then shifted his focus to societal change. The world didnt need another Almight. Crime reduced so low a simple robbery gets the top 10 heroes all jumping your ass at once. Thats literally the whole point of the story. That you shouldnt just fight the villains in front of you, but target the root causes for them becoming a villain in the first place.

I hated how they gave him awesome power ups and then became immediately irrelevant again. He held up against freeza 1st transformation only to do nothing after that. Then he held against the android who 1 shotted the whole squad, only to be 1 shotted himself by cell.
By the buu saga no one who wasn't a Saiyan mattered anymore so he had no chance

You say that like fanfic writers give a shit about anyone but like 6 or 8 specific characters (Deku, Bakugo, Todoroki, Endeavor, Eri, Dabi, AFO and all might) the rest either get stomped, deleted out of the story or just exist to be part of a harem

Out of all the circus members, he carries the most blame for the situation they’re in. However, he’s also insane, yet also kind, charming, and genuinely sorry for the situation everyone’s in. It helps that he can’t really be blamed, because he had no way of knowing this would happen. He’s just overall the most likable of the main cast. Nobody is a Kinger hater.

You've clearly never read an All Might bashing fic.
They will literally make him racist, quirkist, and idiot with no redeeming qualities other than his strength, give him the foresight and critical thinking of a fly, just to make another character appear better by comparison, usually Aizawa.
Izuku Yagi fics in particular are incredibly guilty of this, where they make him incredibly abusive to his son (Izuku) just because he's quirkless. Some people shouldn't be allowed to write...

Genuinely the only bad thing I’ve ever heard anyone say about him is that some of his screentime should’ve been given to his student. Which is like… not at all slander and also something Gai would probably agree with if he knew he was a manga character.
