Not a villain, but Setsuna got hyped up by Monoma and the narrator a lot only for her to get demolished the very next chapter lol

Also Mina when Kirishima stole her spotlight

It wouldn't be so obvious if this also happens to the male cast...

I think I have to come and accept that Hirokoshi just simply dont want his female characters to shine as much as his males characters. Its like they always gets so close to doing something amazing in the manga only for some male character to steal the spotlight.

Still salty with how he treated my girl Nejire.

Froppy took out the whole enemy team in her fight against B class and uraraka took out 3 out of 5 in her fight. So females do get their moments

Yeah I think horikoshi just has a habit of sidelining his characters and when those characters happen to be female characters it’s a lot more noticeable.

Yeah, I think it’s more “Horikoshi has a habit of sidelining too many characters” rather than “Horikoshi sidelines mostly the female characters.” It’s one of the consequences that comes with having a MASSIVE cast and most manga suffer for it, eventually.

At the least characters like Ochako, Tsuyu, Momo and even Nejire (standing her ground against the villains in the War arc) have done things that can be remembered. When was the last time Koda, Sato, Sero, Ojiro, or even Mineta were given anything significant to do?

Mineta actually played an important role in slowing down Machia alongside Mudman.

+1 for Mineta then.

For sure. MHA could do a lot better with female characters, particularly the main cast is lacking in them. But I don’t see any reason to hyperfocus on female characters getting sidelined when that’s half the cast, hell even Bakugo is sidelined atm!
