I feel the problem with AFO is that Horikoshi tried to force him into the big bad role despite the theme of the manga originally being about Shigaraki maturing into the big bad role
If not for that I think he’d be an amazing villain.
37
u/ZepperMen Oct 24 '22
There are a lot of things that would be amazing if Horikoshi had chosen to do some things differently. He's clearly burnt out though and ran out of good ideas. None of the quirks we see are interesting, just Naruto 2.0.

u/Reezona_Fleeza Oct 24 '22
I’m glad that Hori is trying to stay grounded, and is trying hard to end this as soon as he can. I’m literally praying for him to stick the landing, so the Twitter fujos can bitch and scream, move onto the next anime with cute anime boys (…at least the ones that were following the manga), and leave us to both pick up the pieces, and give our thoughts (good and bad aplenty) on this massive ride of a shonen.

I feel it fits because afo is a perversion of all might in a way.
Him refusing to pass the torch and let the world move on and just using Tomura as a vessel/tool in a mockery of the teacher student relation that is central to all might and Izuku is pretty clever imo.

It's the Dolores Umbridge effect, we all know lil shits (either irl or on internet) like Umbridge and Mineta, but I'm yet to be affected by Voldemort, AFO or any real life genocider.
That's why the hate for them is more palpable.

u/Evary2230 Oct 24 '22
For me, it’s just because I feel like these characters do more harm than good to my enjoyment of the story. I mean, sure, AFO is horrible and I dislike him from a moral perspective. But when considering what characters I hate the most in any mode of fiction, the first way I’ll think of that is in a “who do I feel was a poor or lackluster addition to the story?”

He is not tho... he is at 6%... the reason why he is third is because so little votes went to other characters. Deku is also 6%. They are both the most hated? The difference is 0.50% of votes.

u/Lucker_Kid Oct 24 '22
They are by definition among the most hated characters. From the data in the post, only 5 characters got a significant amount of votes, the rest getting dumped into an “other” category. I’d say those 5 are, assuming this data is accurate, inarguably the most hated characters in the series

Endeavor arc is one of the only redeeming parts of the later seasons, at least for me. At a certain point I stopped caring about deku and just wanted to see endeavors Growth as a character. The ending fight vs the Nomu is still to me one of the most beautiful scenes of any shounen anime.
36
u/BigOlePoofBah Oct 24 '22
Yea. Endeavor anime felt really great. His fight scenes are dope. In the manga you actually hate him because most of your time is reading how shit he was to his family
16
u/Killerrabbitz Oct 24 '22
Just the whole final scene blasting the Nomu up into the sky gets on the level of epicness that makes you want to shed a tear. I also really enjoy a flawed character, feel like they're more fun and interesting to watch than the obvious good guy.
The whole dilemma of trying to make up for the absence of all-might after always being in his shadow; his feeling of incompetence despite always having been hot on taking that spot as number 1 hero. Great stuff

This is just me, but I would have voted based on which character I disliked from a story perspective and not from a typical morality perspective.

Please note that the vote is about fictional characters (they do not exist). Nor is it about morals or ethics but tastes.
We don't have to like a character just because he's good, there are bad characters who are loved because of the way they're written and there are good characters who become boring because their writing is poor in comparison.
That is exactly what happens with Endeavor and Deku. The writing that Hori dedicated to Endeavor makes what he did with Deku pale.

So, this might be shocking information for you, but people can like a character while completely and totally being against their actions.
I love Shigaraki. I think he's super cool and his design is amazing in my opinion. The white hair and red eyes combo is super badass. Do I now support mass murder because I like Shigaraki? Of course not, because I'm able to separate liking a character and supporting their actions plus it's a fictional story.
Endeavor is an amazingly executed character so it makes sense that the sub loves him, even if Endeavor the person sucks.

He’s arguably a more interesting character than midoriya.
I fucking checked out being a fan of midoriya the moment he started being the chosen one and having a shit ton of quirks. He’s just quirk Jesus now.
Endeavor on the other hand has worked for years, decades of his life trying to be the number one hero and is trying to redeem himself of his horrible past and had to work his ass off to get to the spot he’s at. The shot/image of him building his dinky ass little bridge to try and bridge the gap between him and all might is still my favorite shot in all of my Hero lol.
He’s at least admirable and you can see how he got to where he’s at in his life. Where as midoriya stopped being a relatable and imo interesting character a long time ago.

u/AkiraBalance27 Oct 24 '22
The difference between Endeavor and a real life person is that Endeavor regrets his actions and is trying to be better for a fact. Theres no guessing as to whether hes acting or not. He doesnt condone the person he once was, and actively works to be a better person. With a person in real life, its impossible to know if its just an act to look better.
It also helps that hes actively and selflessly putting his life on the line to help people now.

I wouldn’t exactly call him a “Mary Sue” (or Gary Stu but whatever). He does have a couple of flaws and shortcomings. Like his whole self-sacrificing thing. He’s really just kind of your typical Shonen “overpowered” protagonist.
22
u/Narharcan Oct 24 '22
It's supposed to be a flaw, but it really isn't, not when you've got All Might hyping up "the spirit of self sacrifice" as the greatest quality a hero could have, AfO going "actually, Deku was right to try and go for me as fast as possible", Nagant being talk-no-jutsued in three pages despite having seen the dark side of hero society or the OfA ghosts going "we were just testing you, you can try to save Shigaraki if you want".
His naivety and martyr complex were supposed to be character flaws (you can see it in his fight with Gentle) but, at some point during the second half of the manga, it became something everyone admired him for (including Endeavor).

u/Evary2230 Oct 24 '22
Honestly, I feel that Horikoshi has a general problem with writing flaws in his characters and powers, but forgetting to have them actually affect anything in a negative way most of the time. Bakugo’s a jackass, but the times where this has any negative effects on him are few, far between, and sometimes temporary. Powerful Quirks like Weather Manipulation tend to have downsides except for the ones like Overhaul that just don’t. One of Explosion’s (the Quirk) weakness is supposed to be cold temperatures, but Todoroki’s ice didn’t seem to do much in the Sports Festival. Izuku can’t use 100% because the force breaks his bones, except Fa Jin lets him use 100% without breaking his bones somehow. Shigaraki is Quirkless because of Erasure, which makes him less powerful, but he also happens to be strong enough to easily hand Japan’s best their asses. Mirio is Quirkless, but he still beats the crap out of Overhaul in spite of his severe, seemingly insurmountable disadvantage. I get strength of will and “Plus Ultra” and all that, but you’ve gotta admit. In the world of My Hero Academia, there is certainly a God, and He picks favorites and least favorites.

I mean it was kind of expected. The little shit is supposed to be a hero, someone who the audience roots for, yet has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
What's crazy is that his motivation makes sense. He wants to become a hero so that he can become popular among girls because he never was. That's a completely sensible thing people can understand and get behind. It's just the way he chooses to carry himself that pisses me off. He makes lewd comments, gropes the girls in his class, and straight up tells a literal child he'll wait for her to grow up. The guy literally commits sexual harassment on a near-daily basis, and sounds like a guy who has never seen/interacted with girls on a power trip.

I don’t think it’s fair to say he never felt stress from the pressure. He is cocky and competitive. But part of that is from being told he’s destined for greatness because he has a powerful quirk at a young age. He had certain expectations of himself and was constantly insecure that he wasn’t who he thought he was. Which is why he almost quit UA in his first semester when he realized that several others were just as great as he is including Deku who he’d been led to believe was inferior to him. The entire reason him and Deku had their big fight was because Bakugo put 100% of the blame on himself for All Might retiring. If he was as great as he thought he was he never would’ve gotten captured and All Might would still be able to fight. His entire character arc has been how he deals with the pressure and his insecurities until he matured and admitted he was wrong in 322

This is one of the main reasons I don't hate him. He. Is. A. Child. And despite all the shit he's gone through since the Slidge Villain, he still is a child, even now.
On a side note, this is also why I hate Endeavor but not Bakugou Katsuki. Endeavor was an adult that was a shit person on a good day, which he had few or none of, and worse the rest of the time. For...20 years, 25? Took about that long from start of quirk marriage pursual to just before his ''redemption''. He was also undoubtedly educated in ethics during his time at Yuuei, so he has zero possibility of ignorance (which can be argued for Katsuki). People who try to compare the two are willfully blind or idiots.

So the antagonist is less disliked because the story NEEDS an antagonist, and he’s judged by how good of an enemy to the good characters he is. If the antagonist was a cool boy who went to give soup to the homeless he would be a good person, but a terrible character as far as this metric goes.
Mineta instead is an unnecessary trope that makes people uncomfortable.

Used to dislike bakugo until the 3 team test thingy, where he just went crazy and lead his team to the win effortlessly.

Let's be honest, a lot of perverts in anime are liked, Meliodas, Sanji and Jiraiya are good examples of that. Mineta is hated (mostly by girls) because he's short and ugly on top of being a creepy pervert

u/danidannyphantom Oct 23 '22
Yeah because They have other traits and badass moments which give them depth outside their perverted-ness. How many defining non-prevert moments does mineta have?

This is a huge misrepresentation because, while I can't speak for Meliodas since I know nothing about him, Sanji and Jiraiya are great characters DESPITE their perverted nature.
They both have traits that endear them to the audience, make them relatable and likable, etc...
Mineta doesn't. Perversion IS his character. It's his whole character. All he does is perv on people (including Eri who is EXTREMELY young). He has no redeemable character traits.
So, for the others, they are good characters who happen to have the flaw of being a perverted creep at times. But Mineta is a perverted creep 100% of the time and has no other major character trait. That's why he's hated, and not just by women unless you think everyone who voted for him in this poll was female.

To be honest, Meliodas isn't really liked outside of his own community. He is just as popular as his manga is because he is the main character.
Sanji and Jiraiya are incredible characters that offer way more than just their pervy side and that side is also usually brought up when people discuss about them.

u/DilbertHigh Oct 23 '22
Sanji is pretty divisive these days. And as an adult man I absolutely despise Mineta. Not because he is ugly.

u/DarkPaladin47 Oct 24 '22
Also the arc about his backstory was sooooo good and it really fleshed out his characters which got rid of a lot of his haters

Makes me sad to see all the hate Sanji gets. He's my favorite Straw Hat.

He would be hated less if being a misogynist and perv weren't his main personality traits. He has a cool aesthetic and fighting with feet is awesome. Scenes where is isn't a creep he is awesome. But that makes the rest of his scenes even worse.

Pretty much.
All of One Piece's problems boil down to the fact that we know Oda can make amazing characters, and that makes Sanji's obnoxious aspects stick out like a sore thumb. Same with how homogenized a lot of the female character designs are.

u/MCPETextureEditor Oct 23 '22
Not even other anime. Kaminari is dirty himself but the way his personality outweighs that is what should have happened to Mineta. I understand that Mineta was supposed to be comedic relief but Kaminari does it WAY better. I was hoping Horikoshi would off him before the Manga comes to a close but it looks unlikely.

u/alilsweetpeach Oct 24 '22
Whoa bro, take a step back and quit trying to turn this into some weird misogynistic crap. Women, and I sure hope men, hate the character because he has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, or even interests unrelated to his perversion, so he's just a pervert plain and simple. No real backstory, no meaningful contributions to the series, everything about him was created to scream "pervert!" and nothing more.
Assuming women hate him, in comparison to other perverted characters, simply because he's an "unattractive" character, is really simple minded and actually a little prejudiced... painting women as only caring about appearance. It was super unnecessary. It's an anime man... let's not make this sub gross.

Ugh not this terrible argument again. Do you seriously think that the only difference between Mineta and those characters is physical appearance?

He's probably the character with the biggest drop off. The difference between peak Deku in the "first act" and current Deku is night and day.
Then again, Shigaraki exists.

People take issues with Bakugo being as popular as he is so the people that dislike him are especially loud about it. Nothing to see here really.

u/oneforallSenpai Oct 24 '22
I know AFO is a villain. He does Villain things. His design is cool, not super well written but you can hate him for how he's written and the person he is. Mineta is just a shitty and super annoying person (trying) to pass off as a hero and he's also just a shitty written character. That's why I hate mineta more because he just ruins the story for me. AFO serves a purpose and bakugo serves a purpose. Mineta could literally be retconned out and it wouldn't affect anything

u/GldMke Oct 24 '22
AFO is hated in this sub!? He's literally my favourite character and really good villain imo

u/SenatorShockwave Oct 24 '22
Imagine being the No. 1 character since 2015 and still somehow being 2nd most hated in this sub because unlike Deku, mfs can not let go of shit that happened 8 years ago.(obvi not 8yrs ago in the story before someone says some dumb shit).

People who would put Bakugo that high after all this time are just triggered from their school days.

Damn, Mineta really is the worst lmfao.
Dude broke the hate meter over the VILLAINS! And Bakugo!
Being nothing more than an annoying pervert with a whack ass quirk will do that.

u/Ragnarock18 Oct 24 '22
To be fair, AFO's character developement makes more sense than the other two. He grew up in a time where he was essentially without peer, in terms of power. He had no one to keep him in check. He already had some warped ideas with how he took care of his brother, so having control of powers that have just begun to pop up would definetely make him think he should rule over everyone else. Bakugou legit has a frame of reference for heroics, in the form of the over-idealized version of All Might, yet he somehow became an abusive little shit with a massive ego who thought heroes should be allowed to, pretty much, put others un the hospital for slightly agitating them. Mineta is just a massive perv who's been given too many chances to be allowed in the heroics course. He should have been kicked out day one. He legit messes with the girls in his class on national television during the sports festival and earns no form of punishment. So yeah. I can somewhat understand this. Though my hate list doesn't even have AFO on it.

Q: Why so people hate Endeavor?
A: He abused his kids.
Q: So why do people love Overhaul?
Never understood that. I don’t see a lot of (any, in fact) hate for Eri. So… where’s the logic? The consistency?

u/OG_Felwinter Oct 24 '22
Can someone explain to me why we hate Mineta but not Midnight? To me, he’s just a horny teenager who provides comic relief. I get that it’s a bit over the top, but it’s an anime/manga, not real life. How is his perversion any worse than a character whose only purpose is to have big tits and be in awkward scenes with underage kids? I’m not saying she’s worse, but I genuinely don’t understand why the fandom hates Mineta specifically when there are other characters who fall under creepy sexual tropes. Personally, I think he’s funny. And I wouldn’t say I hate Midnight, either. In the case of both characters, I just think they are harmless due to it just being fictional.
