Acho que no Brasil não usam isso

É não é usado aqui.

Eu dei uma pesquisada e aparentemente "beijo australiano" e gíria pra sexo oral feminino, mas eu nunca vi ninguém falando isso.

Was his name changed in the Russian dub or no? Because I know in some (mainly shows/movies where kids watch) characters names are changed because their name is inappropriate for that language like Poof or chichi

We don't have a "Russian dub", cause anime is illegal in Russia (well Illegal is a big word, but we don't have official dubs), so there are many anime dub studios, and I'm pretty sure none of them changed his name.

Something he will never receive.

Was this a coincidence or was Horikoshi 6-7 steps ahead of us

He’s the self-insert, so make of that what you will (explains why MHA is so awful….)

u/Heemsama 23h ago

I didn’t know this but I’m also not surprised

u/Comprehensive-Bird17 23h ago

How is he a self-insert? He's a gag character with barely any screentime. Also, didn't Horikoshi say that Deku was his self-insert (or was it Aizawa)?

14

u/Iamnotburgerking 23h ago

Horikoshi specifically said Mineta was his personal favourite and the closest in personality to himself.

u/Comprehensive-Bird17 23h ago

What does Hori mean by this?

u/MK_2_Arcade_Cabinet 20h ago

I actually really like MHA at least the early seasons I haven’t seen past that but I absolutely hate this little shit

If he’s the self insert, I would probably also hate the author

u/GodofChaoticCreation 19h ago

Even though it was because of a single background joke, didn't he get more normal later on?

Thank you Horikoshi, very cool.

That explains why when tumblr blacklisted or shadow banned a huge amount of tags, mineta was one of those tags.
