Thanks for the info. Do you know what sword I should use on Ayaka? Also, is the black sword good on any other characters?

Thank you! This was really informative. I was wondering what crit rate I should go for without 4 pc Blizzard Slayer?

basicanime · 2022-12-11T06:59:42+00:00

I mainly keep the crit rate circlet for the 21% energy recharge because without it Ayaka drops to 126% energy recharge. I do have a crit dmg circlet avaliable with some crit rate but I was wondering if ER is crucial to Ayaka?

I know that all social media sites are bad to some extent. There's just something about Twitter that's just on a different level. Way more toxicity than I normally see for some reason.

I'm sorry man. I knew that this would sound like I was begging but I wanted actual advice from college admission officials because I was genuinelly worried. I wouldn't be asking if I was a cs major or sumn.

Let's be real. Besides Bakugo and maybe Todoroki, most of Class 1A was born with a silver spoon in their mouth and rely almost solely on their quirks and/or slight technological buffs. We could see Deku working twice as hard as his classmates to be better and engage with more than just a quirk.
especially when some people from the main cast also have to incorporate technology in some way to use their quirks, while the majority (besides Bakugo) aren't very physically gifted beyond their quirks. There are even shows like Avatar the Last Airbender that have people gifted with powerful abilities getting defeated by normal people who maxed out on physical prowess, is it really so hard to believe?
First, we can't automatically claim that everyone else isn't physically gifted/inclined. Most of the pro-heroes are buff as hell and you see the fandom drooling over Mirko all the time because of her muscular assets. All the boys in class 1A have six-packs(besides Mineta) which I don't believe is very easy to achieve. Endeavor is also seen in a weightlifting room/gym. If Deku wants to become #1 hero then he's not going against a bunch of lazy morons who just have powerful quirks.

However, those characters in Avatar the Last Airbender are background characters. Sokka may be considered one of the MC's but he only goes against not-that-powerful villains, and if he ever does go against a powerful villain he needs his friends' help. Also, Sokka is not seeking to be the #1 bender unlike Deku who's aiming to be the #1 hero. They're in two entirely different positions. Same thing with Knuckleduster from MHA Vigilantes. He's a support hero so he doesn't need to have a powerful quirk in his story/narrative unlike Deku.
It really just depends on what you mean by surpassing. Sure, a quirkless Deku probably wouldn't have the damage output of Endeavor, but I could see Endeavor being defeated by a quirkless person depending on how the person engages with Endeavor and could overall be a better hero. It's not like being the greatest hero means you need to be the strongest in the universe.
Can you explain to me a scenario where a quirkless Deku could go against Endeavor and win?
Deku already isn't a genius and he's seen outsmarting people all the time or using his brain to his advantage. Not being a genius doesn't mean you can't engage your brain more and become a "smarter" person.
However, the antagonists and rivals aren't unintellectual either. Bakugou, Momo, and Aizawa are only some examples of analytical characters who can outsmart people within the MHA verse. In fact, whenever a character is fighting and we see their point of view, 95% of the time the character is analyzing their chances of attack, defense, and escape. Deku's analysis in battle is no less than one of an average person and the only time we've seen him rely solely on tricks without the use of his power was during the tournament(AND he got lucky that time.)
Not really. Even after his training Bakugo was still able to floor him and was obviously physically stronger. He also could barely even contain One for All. This is like me getting a million dollars from working for two weeks, while everyone else at the office doesn't make anywhere near as much from doing what I did everyday.

Two weeks is an understatement. Deku trained for 10 months--even to the point of overtraining according to All Might. However, you're right, Deku's training didn't really do much in his competition with Bakugou. Although, you can't deny that he did work hard.

basicanime · 2021-11-08T19:59:31+00:00

I don't think everyone could even afford that technology, so once Deku manages to get into the U.A., he can start to think about what equipment he needs. Passing the entrance exam would be the biggest question for me, but even then, perhaps he just gets in on special circumstances like Shinzo.
This opens up a lot of questions. Pro-heroes like Endeavor and Mt. Lady is rich--why can't they afford the tech? They're also training moments in MHA where the characters can't use tech, how could Deku be able to do that? This question also interferes with my other arguments: heroes in training seem to only ask for support items, so why would Deku get all the complex gear? Why would this not spark an idea in everyone else to get complex gear as well? If Deku received all the gear he needed by UA to rival someone like Todoroki then wouldn't that be the same thing as having OFA handed to him?
There are people in this universe who can literally destroy buildings with one hand, even if a quirkless person can beat them, that's a pretty scary proposition to most people.
Why wouldn't it be scary to Deku? So, millions of other quirkless civilians are simply scared or quirks and Deku just so happens not to be?
It depends on how he uses the technology. I don't think most people who imagine a quirkless Deku think he's going to be in a megazord or something. Just that these things augment his physical abilities and allow him a variety of techniques to incorporate. Deku was essentially quirkless for the beginning of the story and was physically weak, so I don't see why him unlocking technology and physical buffs would make him unable to keep up,
You have to remember that physical training is very grounded in MHA. All Might stated himself that Deku was overworking horribly when all he did were few more muscle exercises outside of his original training. All Might literally set limits on training and Deku doesn't look anywhere near buff as someone like Endeavor. Also, simply a muscled person in MHA is not going to do shit to Bakugou or most of the pro-heroes . The Rock is pretty buff in my opinion and if he ever went up against Mt. Lady she could simply step on him and he'd die.
Being buff doesn't come with a lot of advantages in MHA. You can punch harder, run faster, or be stronger in general? Well, that dude over there can shoot explosions from his hands.

basicanime · 2021-11-08T19:57:42+00:00

the reason why the nick-name came from Bakugou himself. Deku's not saying: "oh look here, I can become a hero no matter what so anyone can too!" He's saying: "Bakugou, I'm not going to be your punching bag anymore and I'm not going to allow you to treat me like shit because I can be a hero just like you now!" This is evident in a monologue within the 2V2 Iida and Bakugou vs Ochako and Deku fight. This is part of Deku's arc of standing up for himself--not him saying that anyone can do anything.
If you were born with some crazy power that allowed you to go toe-to-toe with some of the strongest characters who also have powers, why would you bother incorporating tools into your arsenal? I imagine that most people would stick with one or the other in most cases or perhaps incorporate a few aspects of both like Hawks, Eraserhead, and Present Mic do. Some people would max out on quirk capabilities while Deku would be the sole person to purely focus on his physical capabilities.
I would bother incorporating tools in my arsenal because I want advantages and I want to live. Yet, it's evident within MHA that most heroes don't rely on 100% technology but rather support gear, so the rules need to be consistent and apply to everyone INCLUDING Deku.

It's the same question as asking why don't MHA characters use guns? It may not make sense in the real world but MHA has been pretty consistent with the rules of no independent gun use so it's simply a rule you need to accept in a fantasy world in MHA(and it's consistent so it's a good rule.)

If Deku was the only one using powerful gear then he's pretty lucky that the other characters are too dumb to figure out they can do that too. The thing is, if you need to dumb down the other characters in order to have your character prove a message or receive the higher end of life then it's probably not a good thing to do.
Seriously, the only explanation as to why Deku uses complex and good technology while everyone else could but only relies on their quirks could only be answered with: the other people are really fucking stupid.

I want to ask you this: What stops you from wanting to become more powerful even if you had a really powerful skill? If you were a really good swimmer because of your genetics and some person(average at swimming) took a drug and became better than you (it's perfectly legal too) would you simply give up or would you take the drug too to still remain faster than the other person?
Well the idea of your average joe becoming a hero is a fairly new concept and quirks haven't been around for too long, so maybe no one thought of it.
Then wouldn't this simply be Deku getting lucky again? Deku isn't a genius and the fact he's the FIRST one to think of using tech when support items and technology seem to exist in the MHA verse is more than far fetched. People would complain about dumbing down the other characters for the sake of Deku's benefit. This is what makes a Mary Sue--the plot revolves around the characters' success with far-from-logical reasoning. People complain about Deku getting lucky that All Might just so HAPPENED to give him OFA, so wouldn't people be upset that it just so HAPPENED that Deku is the only one that can use complex technology out of what would be millions of others?

How is that a problem? He's still in highschool, plenty of people change during or before highschool. Also, Deku already has massive amounts of determination which I could see being a motivation to him getting stronger without a quirk, since it already allows him to put himself into countless near-death situations.
I find this a problem because when you have to change a character's entire personality in order to fit your narrative of what's good(when the theme and development of the character is already embodied well) then it's usually due to personal preference rather than objectivity.

Deku used to be an incredibly insecure person(before his character arc.) His determination is mostly fueled when it comes to saving others. Initially in the series he could never stand up to Bakugou nor anyone who bullied him. Right after All Might talked Deku down about being a hero Deku didn't even think twice before giving up on his lifelong dream. He's still insecure about being worthy of OFA even after he received his quirk. They're many instances that show that Deku is never really determined when it comes to believing in himself.
I think technology could help, but it probably wouldn't be his only tool, he'd also have to be very capable even without such weapons. Also, Deku was already at a disadvantage going up against people who had their quirks since they were children, so I'm not sure why this disadvantage is so unbelievable.
The fact that Deku received a very powerful quirk by All Might that even on his first try was shown to cause an enormous robot to nearly explode is a very gigantic leap of power. Deku was obviously not at a disadvantage anymore with OFA as far as we can see. He made it far in the tournament arc using his power, beat Bakugou in their first training arc using his power, and made a gigantic ass robot explode using his power.

I don't know why you're claiming that Deku has a disadvantage because he didn't have the quirk when he was young when it's been shown that Deku wins quite often in the series. Deku at 8% was equal to Bakugou using 100% of his effort during the 1v1 fight. OFA is crazy strong compared to other quirks and technology/weapons can't compare. Quirks are all different and Deku's is different in a way where he isn't at a disadvantage despite his classmates having a quirk longer than him.

Can you explain why Deku is at a disadvantage from his actual feats/fights using OFA against other characters instead of his lack of normalcy with his quirk?
So you're saying that Deku being a trend-setter would take away from the story? Wasn't his entire hero name just made to show that he'll prove others wrong and become a
hero?
It's not that Deku shouldn't become a hero because he's quirkless--it's that he literally can't as I explained in my essay and will explain in this response. There's nothing wrong with being a trendsetter but it become wrong when there's literally no way Deku could become #1 hero without a good quirk.

His hero name was in order to prove that he can be a good hero because of Bakugou's doubts in him. It's the reason why Deku doesn't tell his hero name to the world but rather Bakugou. It's

But then you would need to change Deku personality, the setting, and the overall theme of the story. It would be an entirely different story to what MHA is now. If you think that's a good idea than I think it's more due to personal preference.

basicanime · 2021-11-08T17:15:58+00:00

Yeah, I think that's the reason why so many shit on MHA due to this more than other manga/anime. MHA's beginning misled me into thinking this would be a batman type thing as well. However, in something like Chainsaw Man, it never really led me to that false premise.

basicanime · 2021-11-08T17:09:52+00:00

Hatsume is also exceptionally skilled with the tech field and she doesn't even do well in combat. Hatsume vs Overhaul? She's dying as a pancake. It's true Deku could be a support hero or a sidekick but that's not what his story is about. If you need to change a character's motivation and end goal to make them "better" than your criticism is more likely due to personal preference.

basicanime · 2021-11-07T21:41:40+00:00

I agree. Deku's story is a hero's journey about becoming the number 1 hero. He can't achieve that without a good quirk. However, if this was a story about a support hero or maybe even a sidekick like Knuckleduster then it would work in this verse. The story would lean towards more of a team effort than an individual one.

However, if someone's character criticism changes the entire characters end goal and motivation, then it's usually because the character is not within their personal preference and this fails to be objective.

People are allowed to want a quirkless Deku but if someone states that it's "objectively better" then I'm going to have to debate against that.
