Since I'm not ready to throw out a full study thread on Izuku's entire character depth, I'm just gonna do one on his character flaws and so we have-

A Izuku midoriya "Deku" character flaws:

(cus I know how y'all be acting): some of these 'flaws' can actually be viewed in a shining positive light same as it can be brutally negative, so this thread might be subjective to my interpretation on what his character is.

In other words, I ain't ask

0.) His sheer lack of any self-preservation. This is most likely a result of his low self-worth and this can be seen as the root of most of his flaws. It also kinda breeds complacency which in turn give him this self-satisfaction with his existing situation

And a sense of security which makes him quite unaware of potential danger

His complacency shows largely in his gratitude for what he has (while this isn't necessarily a bad thing) it also kinda hampers him I.e sports festival, he didn't have the motivation to stand out

Because to him he already has the No.1 hero has his mentor so he doesn't have the drive to 'stand out' until All might told him too. He's complacent where he is and this is probably why he blends in a lot, doesn't have his I am here moment yet. Complacency is another flaw

1.) He's self sacrificial almost past the point of reason, which is prolly a result of his intense hero syndrome because he's so focused on saving people he doesn't fully consider the consequences of his actions and acts without thinking of what this could mean for him

2.) He tends to let his emotions get the better of him especially anger, he can go from 10 to 100 in a very short time when he's provoked & he's not against exploding his goddamn self to get to you. This is very unpredictable 10/10 do not recommend messing with him, you will d1e

3.) He has that habit of shoulderring burdens too big for his 5'5 body alone and not wanting to 'bother' other people, I reckon this is a result of never having anyone apart from inko to rely on growing up so mostly he bottles everything up but he's working on this

4.) He tends to overthink at times, his muttering habit is very endearing but bro... nonetheless he's a great stategist and analyst whic wholly makes up for it

5.) (Not really a flaw but rather very bad luck) The talent of somehow managing to ALWAYS be at the wrong place at the wrong time. This boy doesn't even have to provoke anyone trouble is always on his ass.

6.) He's stubborn asf

when he sets his mind on doing something, you bet as hell he's gonna do it. Hell hath no wrath like Deku setting his mind on something even if it means he has to break promises, rules and his own body to do it. Again 10/10 do not recommend messing with him

great example is him stubbornly holding on to his dream of becoming a hero despite knowing exactly how unrealistic it was and it took nearly dying to come to terms that yeah he can't even save himself talkless of anyone but then still following AM who added salt to injury by

Telling him straight to his face that he can't be a hero without power. But All might still took care of the wound anyways so we forgive him.

7.) He has a lot of self-doubt/depreciation/self worth issues. Cus of this he also tends to be very hard on himself especially when he fvks up, he has a hard time getting over failure. He doesn't cut himself any slack and unfortunately neither does a lot of people around him

Neither do they. Suspect half of the reason he wants to be able to have people so much is tied in with proving his self worth. It also doesn't help that most of his self worth problem are very internalized.

8.) His imposter syndrome, this ties in with his self-depreciation since he feels he's unworthy of OFA and is yet to fully recognize that both the quirk, past users and AM himself have chosen him to completely wield it. This was dominant when he found out about Mirio and

His insecurities poured out and the difference in skills between through him into a slump especially since he's having a very hard time mastering and using the quirk to its full potential. Nighteye drove the nail in the coffin for this one tbh

9.) His meddling habits, while his concern is always appreciated and helpful when he does it right I.e todoroki, its been pointed out that stucking his nose in other people's business isn't always gonna be welcome... I love this qoute tho

10.) Midoriya "this is not my problem but it IS my problem" Izuku that always leads to:

11.) Midoriya "oh wow, this is something I must fix even if it beeaks all my bones and kills me" Izuku a.k.a Deku which then leads to:

12.) Midoriya "taking responsibilities for things he shouldn't" Izuku which is as a result of:

No.0) Extreme lack of self any preservation skills.

Which again ties in perfectly with his:

13.) severe recklessness (someone chain him down to a chair already, I'm tired) and irresponsibility. This is also a result of his low self preservation but also shows up when he let's his emotions drive him. But then again sometimes he's irresponsible as a result of just being

A very nice person. All might is the greatest enabler of this trait and Aizawa (thank God for him) is always on his ass for this trait and calling him out over it. All hail Deku's dads and fck Hisashi

14.) his selfishness (but this is a thread for another day)

15.) His lack of motivation beyond saving someone, he often lacks drive if there isn't someone damselling in distress in front of him to motivate him to move. It hinders his need to advance. This ties into how he's inspired by bkg and needs to learn how to win for himself

16.) His very very poor ability to read the room

Look, I wanna hope that I know NOBODY is dumb enough to not realise that's these are DELIBERATE character flaws that add depth to his character not things to use to slander Izuku since they're literally part of his character.

But knowing how this app works this is false hope

Can't believe this even has to be added, but deliberate character flaws aren't bad writing or bad characterization. They don't make a character bad, it fleshes them out and adds depth I.e endeavour, bkg, todo, iida etc

And that is the only purpose of this thread, GOT IT?
