7 Facts About My Hero Academia Characters You Didn’t Know

The nickname Deku was given to him by Bakugo.

The nickname means Useless person. He got the nickname by reading Izuku differently, which can be read as Deku. The reason it means useless person is cause it eludes to the kanji idiom dekunoubu which means useless person.

All Might Would Wish For A Quirk In His Youth

All Might was once a kid like anyone else, and he was hardly a musclebound hero of society. At the time, he was just a skinny boy with a dream, not unlike his future protege Izuku Midoriya, and he didn’t even have a Quirk at all. That must have been frustrating.

If this young Toshinori Yagi happened upon the seven dragon balls and summoned Shenron, he wouldn’t hesitate to ask for a powerful Quirk to realize his potential as a hero. All this would be before he met Nana Shimura, though.

Deku Went To Extreme Measures To Hide His Quirk

Deku needed not to have his quirk revealed, except to his closest friends when it was unavoidable, and to All-Might considering the Pro-Hero gave him the quirk and all that. When Deku registered for school in fact, all the official paperwork just listed a generic entry of Super-Power, so as not to draw any extra attention to the fact that he was the wielder of One-For-All. While this might have seemed like a good idea, isn’t just not listing it like that a little suspicious?

My Hero Academia: Minoru Mineta Thinks Becoming A Hero Will Make Him Popular

Mineta is a hypocrite who won’t hesitate to criticize the shortcomings of others, even if he happens to share those same shortcomings.

He Never Really Placed First In Much, Maybe For A Reason

Fans see time and time again in the series that Deku doesn’t necessarily do the best in school. His scores assigned to how well he knew his quirk were extremely low, and there are still 5 parts of his quirk that haven’t been revealed to the audience yet. While it may at first seem odd that Deku hasn’t placed first in anything despite being in the top 4 of his grade, there could very well be a great reason for this. In the same way that Deku’s quirk is concealed in the paperwork, he also probably did his best not to stand out.

Shota Aizawa Has Taken In Hitoshi As His Protégé

My Hero Academia’s characters come from different backgrounds and some individuals are more privileged than others. Hitoshi Shinso comes from a disadvantaged place and has to work harder to prove himself. Shota Aizawa is impressed by Shinso’s work in the Sports Festival and decides to secretly train him in preparation for the Joint Training exercise. Aizawa has selective tastes and so his support for Shinso goes a long way. Shinso develops his own style and doesn’t just mimic Aizawa, but he does help him extensively with the use of Binding Cloth, an area that he himself is quite adept in.
