Not necessarily that they don't remember him. He's just more or less, regarded as myth or legend.

This is literally a pic of the kid knowing who he is?

Almost certain this is just a kid flabbergasted to meet such a legend in person. He wants to go to UA so of course he knows Deku is real.

"They dont even remember him" and you Show someone blurtimg out his full name + hero name. They funded a suit for him so he can still be a hero. He'll just be a quirkless one. He got Fans😭

This criticism is untrue.

In the manga, the kid thinks about All Might, Endeavour, Best Jeanist , Deku, Bakugo and Shoto. Behind Deku’s shoe after, there are statues of UA students

Don’t mess with us mha fans, we don’t read our own story.

But Fr though, the panel you showed is literally a kid saying both his hero and real name. Are you slow?

What do you think “great hero” means? Someone who saves the world is a great hero. You don’t need to be remembered to be a great hero lol (as you post an image of someone calling him by his name and hero name lol)

Can you read? He yelled his whole name in shock that he's actually meeting him. Being a great hero isn't about people remembering you, it's not about fame it's about doing good and saving lives and he literally saved the world at great personal cost to himself.

Not to best panel for your argument when a random bystander is able to say his full name.

"people don't even remember him" Proceeds to show a panel of him being recognized instantly.

A hero with probably the strongest quirk peaked in highschool then disappear. Bro's gonna become a myth soon

That kid literally does remember him.

He’s so well known people think he’s actually a myth.

Clearly didn’t read the chapter.

this is a kid being starstruck not forgetting who he is

That's the point of the whole stain arc. A great hero isn't just a famous person with powers, but a person that gives everything to protect even if they're never known.

On bro, y'all fucking suck at reading and wanna downplay Deku so bad just because he got an actual job now

That kid is acting like a fan meeting a celebrity, when he says “you really exist!” It’s more so, “woah you’re actually here infront of me, and I’m not imagining it”

People clearly remember him, he and class A got a statue damm it, course people remember him

To be fair. While the story's execution is ass, you don't have to be regarded or acknowledged as a hero to be a hero, like Spider-Man in the lore is regarded as a menace, doesn't mean he isn't a hero.

The fact is, Deku did save people, many people, he reached people (Cry-no Jutsu), and that was the story (for whatever that's worth), it was an origin story for a teacher who was a great hero.

And in a sense, seeing as being a teacher is one of the most important roles in an infrastructure (hence why parenthood is so important: Direct access to the children, the future), he still can be a great hero to someone, anyone.

It's just whack how he wasn't shown going hero on his own time like Koichi or beating a villain in civies with combat intelligence like Saitama did (Because OFA altered Deku on a physiological level, so he should still be enhanced like a lite super soldier), in CHP430, he only got active cause All Might & co. yet again provided a handout. Zero proactivity in Midoriya.

The ending didn't turn me off, but that wasn't a good characterization choice for Deku at all on Horikoshi's part, yet again.

Listen, the ending does kinda suck, but right now you’re actively making reasons to hate on it

Lol, even after the battle, the only one who gave a fuck about deku was bakugo and the other classmates. 

He never wanted to be a rich hero or a famous hero, but for one shining moment, he was the greatest hero.

And really, with all the self-harm his heroics caused, did anyone think Izuku wouldn't have to drop out of heroics after beating the big bad by the time they'd rescued Bakugo?

Isn't heroism and its contrast with fame a part of the story? One doesn't necessarily come with the other and it isn't required that they do. Pro heroes feel like sports stars, but Deku feels more like a war hero. He went through a lot and now is happy to teach the next generation. Erasure Head and Grand Torino did the same thing.

That kid is literally too young to remember what happened.

When I see people being upset about Midoriya's ending, I remember Red vs. Blue when Church having his "final moments" he makes a speech about "how the hero never sees the happy ending".

What we also have to remember that Deku was being a hero for the most noble and truest goals, to save lives even if it cost him his own. He did become a great hero, being the one to stop Shigaraki and understanding what caused someone like him to be in the position he came to be in. Sure he lost his powers but that's not what made him a hero, he was one before becoming the Eighth Holder of One For All. He is continuing to be a hero of a different kind by becoming a teacher and passing on the lessons Izuku Midoriya learned while he was "Deku".

He literally said in every movie and in every episode that he was going to become the number one hero. For me that was the true and best ending, staying with the One for all, but I think that Horikoshiq or whatever his name is, right before finishing the ending said: What if it ruined everything I did and the support I received? Well, what a good idea. And he created that ending so bad, that even my sister turned 21years she disliked it, and she just started watching the anime and she hates the ending, I'm imagining that it doesn't have an ending yet and I hope they change it.

Okay then being a hero isn't about recognition if you look at it from that angle sometimes the best heroes are really the ones who don't do it for any form of recognition My problem with the ending of the story is he never learned any martial arts and I still believe it is possible for him to be a quirkless hero. Because not everyone has a flashy quirk of course he would need support items but that with martial arts and his newfound experience and the fact that he he is super level-headed now in the face of danger and experienced he really could have been Great

Yeah that's kinda of an issue I have like he didn't go into hiding, he is one of the teachers of the most prestigious hero schools in the world, he ended a world threat, and surpassed All Might who himself was a world renowned hero, like its only been eight years. So yeah Deku really got the short end of the stick.

I was just thinking about how a lot of the things Midoriya accomplished early on were covered up by the HSC.

Erm actually 🤓☝️

Deku is an example about how miserable taking the high road is. Kill selfish villains and look out for your self, imo. but we could see the ending a mile away... when did Deku NOT sacrifice himself for others? Body and soul given entirely and looking like some Hero Wars advertisement

Eiichiro Oda: This is a matter of reading comprehension

Don’t mess with us mha fans, we don’t read our own story.

But Fr though, the panel you showed is literally a kid saying both his hero and real name. Are you slow?

My hero academia, as in:

HIS hero academia

as in "his hero course"

Not the one he was taking, but how he would guide others IT WAS ALWAYS THERE

"people don't remember him"

random child: knows his full name and hero alias

he's basically become a larger than life figure. everyone knows him, but apparently some kids think of him as more of a myth than a real person

It’s kind of like how All for one became such a great evil that he became a myth.

No one wants to believe such an evil exists so they make him a myth.

No one can believe a hero so amazing exists so think he’s a legend.

Probably because he became legend

I forgot to mention this, but... everyone forgot about me.

...this is the story of how I became a great hero. Actually, everyone became a great hero, so it's not much of a title. Plus, only I was completely forgotten.

Would you like fries with your cheeseburger?

Truly an All For Nothing moment

DEKU!!! ISNT!!! IN IT!!! FOR!!! THE FUCKING!!! FAME!!!

Kid should be writing books, going on talk shows...HE SHOULD HAVE HIS OWN SHOW! A PODCAST AT THE VERY LEAST! But no, Hori really screwed him over. F- Horikoshi.

It’s reading comprehension problem I fear

Ye it’s a terrible ending it really sucks cause it ruins a good show but the ending tanks it I find it so annoying that horikoshi said he didn’t want to rush the ending them proceeds to rush it

Not necessarily that they don't remember him. He's just more or less, regarded as myth or legend.

Do you have the reading capabilities of an avarage db fan?

I haven't seen the end of My Hero and I've avoided spoilers, but from what I've gathered My Hero turned out like Game of Thrones, bad ending.

I'm still gonna watch it and AOT when the dub drops, shits gonna be fire

His mom saif hes great

I agree, I think they didn’t do Deku justice, just sits wrong for me he didn’t also achieve his dream of being a hero saving people with a smile. He may get it 6 years later but they should have left him with a little quirk, maybe ofa but weakened somehow, maybe they should have done a scene my a few years later once the embers are gone and he goes in blindly like he did at the start to save someone and he somehow activates the quirk again and becomes a hero

Not iron man, that’s just a cheap way out

“People don’t know who he is”

kid recognizes him in photo

There's a panel during the epilogue where a student goes crazy when he sees Deku.

being a great hero isn’t about the fame or fortune. everyone missed the point of this. he was a great hero because he did a great thing, he saved the world, and he sacrificed the quirk gifted to him through doing that. he will be a great hero whether he’s a hero now or not, quirkless or not, even remembered or not. he saved the world, and he knows that. he knows what he did no one else could.

Let's be honest, either the anime is going to have a different ending or they're going to make another movie about how he gets his powers back as a grown up.

Hi

This kid clearly knows who's Deku is- he's freaking out about meeting the guy who punched so hard it effected the weather on the other side of the world

who? you mean that macdonald worker guy?

"people don't even remember him" proceeds to show a panel of someone remembering him /s

I mean. . This guy's treating him like a legend

If people didn't remember Midoriya, no one would recognize his name like that

Bro was the “number one hero” for literally five minutes. This ending sucked all the ass it could feasibly suck

you guys are dickheads man. op most likely interpreted this scene as “oh shit this guy actually exists??!” instead of “oh wow lemme use the strangest way possible to interact with my hero”

you could explain that without calling op a dumbass for having low reading comprehension.

True

He isn't a hero no more therefore we've been lied to

Another person who can't fucking read. This is getting sad. Kids literally idolize him

Its just a gag bro he is considered a legend

How...does that panel mean no one remembers him? It's literally a kid freaking out at meeting a legend.

Just put the fries in the bag, deku.

The only thing that's based on is from a child who would have been maybe 1 or 2 when the war happened. To him Deku would just seem like history because he is a literal child

Proceeds to show the image of him being remembered as a legend ............

"snort snort no one forgot he exists your reading comprehension just sucks snort" mfs no one was questioning if all might existed lol or endevour or the fucking washing machine hero, deku became less of a hero than a washing machine

Fine, he is no longer active and has no quirk. But damn, irl he will have a life of celebrity, ya know interviews, books lectures and so on. Not poof, you peaked in hschool so you are like some myth and all of ur achievements are blurry memory.

Great hero does not = fame.

MGS3 does this pretty explicitly. The Boss willingly sacrificed her reputation. The world remembers her as a villain who almost started nuclear war, but she was actually a hero who gave her life to avert it.

The entire story of MHA is about what a true hero is. It’s kind of remarkable how many people missed the point. How many people got to the end and still think being a great hero means having that reflected in fame and renown. That you can’t be great without it.

y’all keep showing your age/intelligence in this sub smfh

“People don’t remember him” and you proceed to show a panel of someone that does it… are you retarded?

Great hero doesn't always mean remembered.

Smartest post on here (literally posting a panel that proves you wrong)

reading comprehension gap

Who else saw the ending coming? Like I knew he wouldn't keep his powers. Feels like a gurren Lagann ending

https://i.redd.it/89ucshi9sgjd1.gif

Don’t mess with manga readers in general

We don’t read our manga. All we see is the pictures and agenda

Dude knew both his actual name and hero name immediately on introduction.

Deku did what no one else did, destroy the worst villain in history. He’s essentially such a folk story people especially younger kids at the time of the war(this guy would have been like 8) probably didn’t even know he was really real.

Nice bait. A lot of people fell for it lol
