My Hero Academia, like the big three anime Naruto before it, was written as an action shonen series whose protagonist must rise from zero to hero to save the world. In many ways, that makes protagonist Izuku Midoriya a highly compelling and sympathetic shonen lead, but in some ways, My Hero Academia has sabotaged its own narrative. That’s the same pitfall that Naruto fell into several years ago.For the most part, My Hero Academia’s theme of “hard work pays off” has resonated with readers and viewers, with even the most talented UA students pushing themselves to go Plus Ultra. That applied to Deku too, as he strove to master One For All and develop his own fighting style, but by now, it has gone too far. Deku’s unique asset, One For All, isn’t just a superpower to make him stand out – it’s veritable plot armor, and most My Hero Academia characters have confirmed it. Deku is about to rely more on plot convenience than hard work to finish this fight.When My Hero Academia first started, Deku’s journey didn’t feel like it was layered in thick plot armor, even though the #1 hero himself, All Might, was there to support him. Izuku was born Quirkless and had to push himself for an entire year just to get One For All, never mind use its power correctly, so it felt like classic “underdog works harder than anyone” storytelling. Even when Deku started using Smash attacks, such as in the UA Sports Festival Tournament arc, he had to figure out ways to mitigate OFA’s downsides and devise a suitable fighting style. That led Deku to train with Gran Torino, his best mentor, and it was highly rewarding. OFA was strong, but it didn’t feel like plot armor when Deku used it against the likes of Muscular and Overhaul. But now, in the final war arc, One For All’s plot armor is stronger than any Smash attack.RELATED: Why My Hero Academia’s Shigaraki is the Perfect Villain.
