It's crazy how well Deku gets treated by fan artists given his behavior in the actual series, it's like he breached down through the pathetic floor and integer overflowed into people wanting to see him actually succeed

>>287300957
>Izuocha gives the MHA fanbase the ick.
Honestly they just had no chemistry beyond both being cute and vaguely "nice"
>>
>>287300963
because it's hard to write good romance and go through its actual stages beyond courting. Teasing readers for hundreds of chapters until the ax keeps food on the table
>>
>>287300886
I genuinely struggled to remember a time where it was confirmed there were genuine feelings on either of their part, beyond just general "she is cute" and "he is nice." I think this might speak to the idea that, given that there really isn't any romance in the series, this wasn't actual teasing, just acknowledging that two people who know each other might be attracted to each other. This is a story about teenagers; they tend to be attracted to their classmates. It doesn't mean they will all date each other.
>>
>>287299596
If you care about romance in shonen you are either female or gay
>>
>>287300992
If bakudeku didn’t exist no one would even care about izuocha desu. It’s just male deku self inserters pretending to be interested to try and combat the gay headcanons that female deku self inserters project on him

dude, stop speedwatching. Ochakus crush on Deku was CONSTANTLY mentioned. And Deku always was embarrassed talking to her, plus the last chapter, despite ending in just a pity handshake, confirmed he wanted more with her
>>
>>287306411
Even Peter Parker pushed back against Flash Thompson now and again. Deku doesn't need to have quite the chip Pete did but good lord. I know there's some virtue in being humble but there's too far a line too. Japan always over humbles. Even Ippo despite fighting in MULTIPLE boxing tournaments and beating as many strong people is still kind of a pud.

>>287305317
Then why put it in the story in the first place
>>
>>287307355
I'm not speedreading. I just don't think it comes up as often as people think. The vast majority of the story is about heroes and villains fighting, not who Deku might have a crush on. Ochako isn't even around that often. I really think people latched on to them as a majorly important part of the story and it just leads to disappointment when nothing in the story built up that importance.
>>
>>287307943
Because they are teenagers and teenagers have crushes and feel attraction to each other sometimes.
>>
>>287307976
They also act on them
>>
>>287307979
Not all of the time. And if you've been reading a story where hundreds of chapters where the characters might have crushes and they don't act on them, you have only yourself to blame if you read hundreds more chapters and expect that to change.
>>
>>287307967
It seems like you're also speedreading these threads, because absolutely no one acts like it was a major part of the story on par with Shigaraki or AFO/OFA deal.
When OP said "400+ chapters of teasin", he didn't mean that in every single chapter of those 400 did they tease the relationship, but that during those 400 chapters they teased it.

This isn't really true. There definitely is a sentiment that "if it was in the story, it was important" that posters like >>287307943
express. Not all, but some definitely feel this way. It's a valid response to say that no, something being in the story doesn't mean it will receive further development, especially when the story over and over is not developing it and you are for some reason expecting it to happen.

My dude the sales came from the volume bonuses not izuocha, especially since japan doesn't have the leaker culture we do so the content of 431 was a surprise to them. The sales plummeted once those ran out and the reaction to 431 was so severe they've been retconning it like crazy since then. And the reaction wasn't just from bakudekus it was also from fans pissed that it only focused on ochako, which is one of the reasons why both the sales of her merch and dekus went down after the volumes release. I mean think about it, if izuocha was the reason it sold so well why haven't they capitalized on that even after all this time?

Romance is an intrinsic part of a social life. If your story is not going to focus on it in any meaningful capacity, don't fucking tease characters together throughout a series without some sort of payoff. It doesn't have to be the focus, god knows young boys probably don't care too much about that, but don't throw in the waifus and the eyecandy and the girl next door, throw sexual or romantic tension in every possible opportunity, then peter out. There's a reason why some of the stronger shonen endings that aren't just bombastic action in non-romantic series, tend to resolve the romance strongly.

>>
>>287319090
The Deku problem is that he's given the keys to the proverbial kingdom but never really does anything interesting with it. He grows to be more self-confident, but he was doing absurd self-sacrificial acts since the very start of the series, so it's not like he actually grew as a character. He gets abused by Bakugo and then targeted in a rivalry and it peters out to nothing. They try to make him feel like a personal foil to Shigaraki and it comes off as vapid because Deku wants to save the guy without actually understanding where he comes from. And as a combat protag, he just gets handed new things on a silver platter in a way that simply isn't really satisfying for developments.

Is he the worst shonen protag ever? Fuck no. But for all of his conviction and all of his heart, he's just not really interesting either. I'd take Tanjiro over the fucker and I didn't care much for him either.
>>
>>287319547
I never understood why they kept trying to force this parallel between Deku and Shigaraki when I couldn't see any similarities between them.
Deku literally never had anything bad happen to him his entire life, he had a safe secure loving upbringing and wanted for nothing except superpowers, which he got the moment he met his idol and got to take his powers.

Like really the only way that they were foils for each other was in that Deku's life was literally perfect in every conceivable way and Shigaraki's life was the absolute worst it could have possibly been.
Which honestly makes watching Deku beat the shit out of him the opposite of cathartic.

I feel like they really lost track of what it means to be an underdog for Deku. There's just a lot that really chaffs me with his character. Both as an anime fan and a super hero fan. He's just too passive and timid and doesn't really earn or feel responsible. He gets the strongest power and gets to go the best class in the best school. That's too much. He just doesn't really exemplify any good qualities. He's supposed to be clever but the show doesn't show it. As a comparison I recently started up Kaiju 8 and despite getting kaiju powers the MC tries to earn his place without them, that shows character. He sucks without them but he showed how much he knows about monsters through practical tangible examples. He passes his test by the skin of his teeth and he's only made a cadet rather than an officer. And there's also suspicious plot reasons his boss wants to keep an eye on him. If this was Deku he'd somehow manage to fail upwards because of hereto unforeseen rule just to make him win despite not really winning. I know people like to use Black Clover as a meme but for all that shows faults it did put Asta at the bottom.
>>
>>287320174
It genuinely would've been more interesting if they went with the original idea of Deku being Quirkless and relying on gadgets as his primary gimmick. A normie who catches the eye of the greatest hero and gets the tutelage the world would deny him normally, but every step of the way he basically has to fight like someone on disability to earn his place there. But, knowing how it already turned out, he probably would've been given the supersuit shit from almost the beginning of the series and made things indistinguishable anyway.

>>287320253
He doesn't even have to be quirkless. Change ONE small thing. One for All is NOT given to him. Make it be an accident. His fuck up trying to save Bakugo from the slime causes him to inherit it unwillingly. He is now forced to deal with a responsibility he didn't actually understand. He know has to face the truth that being a super hero isn't the ideal he wanted it to be. There is a reason if a super hero doesn't have powers at birth it's caused because of an accident. Even the ones who get them at birth have to consider the power and responsibility.

Well, we could tweak things, ideas, etc all day long, but I feel like the spirit of the underdog was simply never in the cards to begin with. Like how the story makes such a big deal about Midoriya being ostracized by his peers in school because no powers, but he gets OfA and then every single character after that who isn't in on the know treat him as any other kid. Like, it was gonna be traditional shonen slopified no matter what because Hori is a shit writer.
>>
>>287320428
It never even felt like he was ostracized all that much. Everyone said he could do pretty much anything else he wanted. It's not like he was a pariah. He was picked on because he was an annoying little tagalong. You'd think there'd be more potential for there to people trying to take advantage of him. Maybe make him have to really reflect on who his friends really are. You ever see that Disney movie Sky High? Super hero school. Kid has no powers gets stuck with sidekicks with lame powers. Suddenly gets powers and now all the COOL kids want to be around him and he goes through an arc. Like a story.

Because saying that two characters like each other is no guarantee that anything further will happen. It wasn't teased, your expectations just weren't met. And that's okay, but if you decide that you want something to happen and then it doesn't happen, only you are to blame for setting that expectation.

His biggest appeal is that, despite all the humiliation he receives and being made fun of, he still latches onto Bakugo; he was mad to be sexually bullied.

Well, Hawks comes in a set with Endavour, who is pure homolust; you can go with twunk topping a dilf bodybuilder or a coach fucking his student with a bit of grooming, given that Hawks chose to be a hero because of Endavour.

Really, Izuku should have enrolled in the management course; he would have had better chances there. Becoming Bakugo's manager/wife.

That's irrelevant when the moral framework is absolute in Tanjiro's show. Killing demons is like being a pest control and killing another human is an instant ticket to hell, regardless of motives.
>And so what if Tanjiro died young? He accomplished far more than Deku could ever do
I mean, Deku is a world-famous hero who works for the most prestigious school in the world and has both ad deals and frequent conference appearances. He's probably loaded too. Tanjiro beat Muzan, but he got crippled along the way and more than half of his friends dead, lifespan aside. The guy probably went back to living in poverty too. And it's not like the guy was rich in the first place. The Demon Slayer Corps are actually paid a small stipend for their work.

No, there isn't. If anything, the story points to Tanjiro literally becoming a charcoal seller again after the final battle since his friends and sister all goes back to living in his old house in the mountains. His original job was selling firewood door to door and barely making ends meet. Then he went on to become a pest control for peanuts (they get paid around 20,000 to 40,000 yen) then got handicapped and went back to being charcoal seller.

It makes more sense that the characters went back to being poorfags once their little group disbanded than them living like kings. But it makes logical sense for Deku to live as a king since the value of the yen decreased after the war and took several years to completely rebuild Japan and for the economy to return back to normal. Teacher is the most inflation-proof profession.

NTA, but your picrel actually backs up his point more and you're stretching it a bit. Kiriya sent them a 'jaw-dropping amount of money' but Tanjiro kept trying to send it back, the family kept sending more, rinse and repeat and despite the money, Tanjiro and his friends still work. Their jobs are listed as charcoal burners and domestic workers. It also says he doesn't have the same stamina anymore due to injuries, so yeah, guy is handicapped.
>He and Nezuko are set for life.
That part is implied but not strictly proven, though. The panel says a lot of money, but it never states the exact amount. Doesn't even say it's infinite wealth or that Tanjiro stopped working because he was rich. In fact, the scene says the opposite. Tanjiro keeps working because that's just who he is. Dude helped defeat Muzan, then afterward he's back home washing dishes and selling charcoal again.

Neither of those things were accomplished by his own merit, he took the job because it was offered to him as compensation, not because he had the experience or the credentials for the job, nor because he had a legitimate interest in teaching; it was the only way he could be in the hero world.

And ONCE AGAIN, he received a gift, a powersuit that so conveniently replicated his powers.
>Anon, how do you expect him to be a hero without powers?
Hawks grabbed a fucking sword and kept fighting. This lazy bitch couldn't even think of that.

Tanjiro has one thing that Deku could never have: The admiration and respect from the target audience. Deku's popularity is only with women because they see him as adorable, and with gay men, who see him for what he truly is, breeadable and submissive.

I never said he stops working, I said he isnt forced to wage slave. He is far from poor and chooses to continue selling charcoal to keep busy not because he needs to. He can stop whenever he feels like it. The amount is more than enough to live on as it is a jaw dropping amount where they would not be disadvantaged. His life is pretty comfy.
>>
>>287343722
It's reasonable to assume that Tanjiro probably has savings and he likely doesn’t need to worry about starvation, yeah. I think you're overstating what the panel proves, though.
>He can stop whenever he feels like it.
That's pure speculation. The manga never says how much money it actually was or whether it's enough for life without working. Plus 'jaw-dropping' is a vague description. For a rural Taisho villager, even a few years' income at once could be jaw-dropping.

The most likely scenario is before the story they were acpoor rural family and after the story, they're a financially stable rural household. Not rich, but no longer struggling.

>>287344350
That's again pure speculation on your part. There's nothing in the manga that says that Kiriya set up a lifelong financial support system and the Ubuyashiki guarantees Tanjiro's finances forever. What the panel actually confirms is much simpler
>Kiriya sent them a large amount of money
>Tanjiro tried to send it back
>Kiriya kept sending it back
That's it. Anything beyond that like permanent financial security is just you filling in gaps.

Plus, Tanjiro's character wouldn't accept long-term patronage anyway. He already tried to return the money and is extremely prideful about earning his living. Which is the entire point of his character and the ending encapsulated that with him and his friends living a normal civilian life. The ending clearly pushes self-sufficient ordinary life, not aristocratic patronage which is the antithesis of the Kamado family

I never said otherwise. "Not wage slaving to barely make ends meet but for the hell of it" is mostly fair in spirit, but "for the hell of it" makes it sound completely optional and carefree. Canon doesn't confirm the money is so abundant that Tanjiro could quit entirely with zero impact on their lifestyle and still live "pretty comfy" indefinitely. The story never quantifies the amount or says it covers all future needs forever. For a rural Taisho mountain family, even a large lump sum (or repeated gifts) could feel life-changing without equaling modern financial independence. That's my point.
