Fans Criticize My Hero Academia's Finale for Undermining Deku's Character Growth

The conclusion of Kohei Horikoshi's decade-long manga series leaves fans disappointed with the protagonist's development.

Izuku Midoriya's journey from quirkless boy to top hero is seen as undermined by the series finale.
Fans express frustration over Deku's reliance on external help rather than personal growth.
Critics argue that Deku's character did not evolve as expected, calling him a 'side character.'
The ending suggests Deku's heroism is contingent on possessing quirks, contrary to the series' initial message.
Horikoshi's personal struggles may have influenced the narrative, offering a reflective yet controversial conclusion.
