Deku kinda sucks. For me he fails as a protagonist. Fundamentally, he brings down the potential of My Hero Academia. His flawed characterization paints him not as a sympathetic hero, but as an annoying gary stu. On the other side of the coin, Gohan from Dragon Ball Z, specifically Teen Gohan, is unbelievably slept on. Teen Gohan perfected the "Nice Guy" protagonist trope, before it was even really a thing.
Hope u guys enjoy!
