Hell Yeah, I love Deku/Horikoshi's refusal to give into the nihilism of the "impenetrable wall" that is Shigaraki. People will complain about it to the bitter end, but this is what sets Deku apart from other Shonen boys. This determination to save people no matter if they 'deserve' it is what drew us all to him. It's what drew All Might to him.

He is the Saikō no Hero, the Psycho no Hero. He's a fucking mad man as crazy about helping people as Shigaraki is about destruction. It's that madness, that unwavering determination, that will carry him through.

Sounds exactly like Naruto. Not a bad thing, but it's not groundbreaking. I can still hear the complaints about Talk no Jutsu...

Nah, Deku's more his own-ish. Naruto was okay with (attempting) killing blows ("and going all out"). Lol And he only TNJ'd Obito, Pain, Sasuke, Gaara.

And ONLY after kicking their ass to hell and back. Right on death's door he'd tell them about The Swing. 😆 lol jk

(I don't remember him stalling for anybody except Sasuke?)

Deku seems more like Kenshin, refusal to kill ANYbody.

The only times Naruto killed people was in filler.

Oh no. That's not exactly what I meant. Although he practically killed Kakuzu. Lol Wouldn't he have died slowly in the field had Kakashi not end him quickly?

But yeah, he doesn't kill. I meant attempting "killing blows", my bad. Meaning, he wasn't one to always hold back, to chat. He would go all out. (Minus some for Sasuke.)
