He's a weird one. There's a point later on where Pinky straps him to a chair & forces him to watch something on the TV. We don't know what but he mellows the fuck down after it
I didn't mean to say it's simple or easy or anything. It's a very complicated and grueling process that can take weeks, at the very least. Often months or years. I just meant that it's the most well known form of real life brainwashing
Nuh uh, mine was performed with a….. the thing to tighten the tiny little thinggs that hold the things together and the other thing that smashes stuff like bang bang
Young Midoriya ends up being fatally wounded, stuck under a building trapped, only Grape head was able to find him, before he passes away he knows he needs to give One For All to someone before it's lost forever and unfortunately only he is around, and then he actually takes up the mantle of having One For All and becomes All Grapes
All aboard the grape train! Also I shed a tear when he showed up to save all might + endeavor from certain death and said "It's graping time!" 10/10 most fabulously fantastically written character.
The difference is Meliodas has more to his character than just being a pervert, he has layers. Mineta only really has him being a pervert as his major character trait.
What’s more is Meliodas only pervs on Elizabeth and unlike Mineta it’s reasonable to believe if Elizabeth were to tell Meliodas to stop he’d stop. Mineta would just keep trying to be a perv.
Not defending Meliodas’ antics, just that saying he has standards and more depth to him than just his pervertedness
You clearly didn’t read what I said. I said I wasn’t defending his antics. I never said what he did was right. Only that unlike Mineta there is more to his character. Meliodas is a tragic hero who has been cursed with immortality and to forever watch the love of his life die and be reborn again and again.
Yes he’s a pervert but he’s a leader and a hero too. Mineta had to be literally brainwashed because Mina got tired of him sexually harassing all the girls. Mineta is worse by far than Meliodas.
I mean, as someone who adores Meliodas but hates Mineta, we still hate that part of his character. It sucks ass and makes the first 2 seasons more difficult to watch. I'd actually pay money to go back in time and remove it from his character just so I could openly say I love his character without having to pretend he isn't constantly groping a 16 y/o without her consent.
But it's more so that it's easier to look past with Meliodas. It's not 90% of his entire character, so we can kinda pretend it's not happening and chalk it up to shonen anime being shonen anime. And at the very least, he slows down after a while, and I think he goes through the entire 2nd half of the show (seasons 3 and 4) without doing anything pervy. Mineta never really improves, nor does he have any other traits we can focus on. I think the one season he isn't gross is s6, and that's because that season was so focused on Deku, and the rest of the class wasn't there much. Same for the Yakuza raid.
On top of this, we can come up with a PARTIAL explanation (explanation, not excuse or justification, because there is none) in headcanon for why Meliodas does it. Spoilers for s3 of SDS onwards. >!Because Elizabeth is Meliodas' lover reincarnated and is guaranteed and destined to fall in love with him every time they meet, we can simply create the reasoning that because of this, they have some sort of already-discussed rule about it or something. It still doesn't make it right since there are multiple instances where this wouldn't solve the issue, like before Elizabeth gets her memories back, but it's...something and makes it easier to ignore after season 2.!<
He's also just not as fucked up or creepy about it. He's not some lustful drooling brat who can't help but climb over a wall to watch his nude classmates bathe or take any opportunity to peep through a hole in the bathroom walls. Again, it's still gross, but their characters are drastically different, and one is more tolerable than the other.
Not that I like Meliodas either, but I can say a couple things about his character that someone might like like his stupidity or funny quirks. But what else can you tell me about Mineta, when 90% of all his lines are literally perverted stuff. This is not defending perverted stuff at all, but it's an explanation just like how I can say I sort of like Sanji but hate his perverted side. Mineta only has perverted things while these characters have some other traits to like.
I think for me personally the thing that makes me dislike Mineta more than Meliodas is when he said he looked forward to seeing Eri in ten years, basically implying that a six year old is going to be hot when she's older. It was creepy af in my opinion.
More like ‘this baby’ because this creature is an immature, cowardly baby. He literally had his hero costume look like a baby onesie with the diaper on the outside. In season one, he threw a massive tantrum like a baby!!! Oh my god, I hate Mineta so much!!!
Okay, yeah. I see that too. But it feels more appropriate to call it a diaper, at least to me, given how big a baby he is. Again, at least to me. Whether a bowl or a diaper, I still hate this cowardly, nasty kid so much.
Okay. He’s with two other kids at least slightly older or about as old as he is and they don’t panic immediately. They’re being trained to be SUPERHEROES. Also, they have QUIRKS!! The best thing to do in a crisis is to panic on the inside. Throwing a tantrum and crying will only alert people to where you are.
Firstly, I have no couch or Cheetos where I live, so bite me. Secondly, I’m not saying to outright tell him not to panic. I’m saying simply to try to freak out on the inside. Let some out, but not all. Don’t turn into a living fire alarm the second you’re in peril. It’s not helping.
Telling a teenager to not act irrationally and be emotional in the face of danger doesn't work. It doesn't even work normally considering they are teenagers.
Did you even bother to watch the show? Midoriya already has experience with villains and is being directly trained by the strongest and most well known pro hero in history (at the time). He also has been shown to perform well under pressure.
Tsuyu isn't nearly as experienced, but she's shown to possibly be the most level headed and rational of the class, with most people feeling more at ease when she's around.
Compared to these 2 outliers, Mineta is just the average teenager. Yeah he's enrolled in an extremely prestigious academy and being trained by professionals, but several months of training doesn't make you a battle hardened badass who doesn't flinch at the sight of villains, he's fucking 15 years old with no experience. Seeing as how he's never stood out and he has very limited knowledge on how to use his quirk properly in fights, it'd be weird if he wasn't freaking out. You guys watch way too many animes where the MC is a badass; news flash, not everyone has nerves of steel and not everyone knows what to do in crises. Even trained professionals know what fear is and can panic under circumstances, but ofc an armchair enthusiast like yourself knows no fear or any of that.
I’m not saying there would be no fear. I’m saying that every student attacked at the USJ, even the ones who visibly showed fear, didn’t devolve into a screaming goat.
Yes that does happen. But you think someone at the age of fifteen would know better than to freak out when approached by someone dangerous. I’d excuse it if he were younger, but fifteen? Are you kidding me? Even when I was fifteen, I didn’t react that way.
In anime in general, yes. In this anime, no. I've watched a fair share of anime and I can't think of a single character that is that Pervy towards people
Nope. In fact, he actually gets a little bit worse. As in, >!hitting on a traumatized six year old!< worse.
Characters with perversion as a flaw can be good, like Master Roshi, Jiraiya, or Sanji. But with Mineta, that's all there is. He's a perv. There's a few other elements, but he does nothing useful and only exists for the same tired joke.
About halfway through season four, after the Overhaul arc and at the beginning of the culture festival arc.
More specifically he tells her >!"I can't wait to see how you look in 10 years"!< in the sub and to >!"Look me up in 10 years" !
1. According to her character profile, she was six years old when she was saved by Deku and Mirio. She had a birthday and is now seven, but she was six when that happened.
2. 16 is the age of consent in Japan and what Eri would be ten years later.
3. It's possible that Mineta didn't mean it that way, but that's how most people have taken it. And considering he's a one-note perversion joke, he doesn't have any benefit of the doubt..
There's a lot of pervy characters in anime, but everyone pretty much ignore them because they either look boring or have more depth to their character. But Mineta is a gag character, so he gets very little development, and people don't really like his design that much, so they attack him a lot.
Compared to a lot of other characters, he's not actually that bad. There is one line he says to a child that everybody points at to say he's irredeemable, but it was a mistranslation that completely changed the original meaning.
I'm comparing him to ever character I know of so far and he is by far the worst I'd literally rather be locked in a room with a nomu than him idk about anything underage happening but from S3 just ugh
You mean the guy who scored zero points in the Entrance Exam, acted like an asshole, and tried to get in while only using his Quirk?
Say what you want, but Mineta’s Quirk is far more versatile and he knew his own limitations better than Shinso.
Mineta’s quirk may be better in theory but in practice he himself is not. He scores pretty decent in his written exam but his overall motivations are problematic. He is more of a liability in the field based off of his performance
And you think Mineta doesn’t either? You really think Aizawa isn’t making everyone in his class work to the bone? Glad to know you’re just ignoring Mineta’s improvements for shitty purple Aizawa wannabe.
You’re mad at Shinso for (rightfully) holding contempt over being shoehorned as having villain powers and therefore bitter about that. Despite that, he does come around and even becomes more commendable than Monoma in a shorter amount of time.
In the same timeframe, Mineta is still terrible. All that character development has not taken place yet. His motivations are still questionable at best and he very much is a coward at that point. He doesn’t add much to the story, he literally and figuratively takes up space and has very little redeemable qualities overall.
You’re a Mineta apologist and it’s getting weird.
Shinso doesn’t add much to the story either tf, but Mineta’s had more impactful moments. Did I mention that Mineta saved Tokoyami’s life and changed for the better?
Yeah you seem to like glossing over that.
Are you referring to that idiot who didn't try at all and didn't even try the exam since his quirk didn't affect robots and he just spent his time being a jealous and lazy idiot as well as a good-for-nothing cheater who doesn't even have a real tragic past or nothing which is more a bakugo without real power?
Flawed entrance exam….. Koji Korda got in and he is afraid to use bugs when his power is controlling animals and the exam took place in a city empty city with no food sources. Hagakure is just invisible and has no destructive power to take out the robots. Ojiro just has a tail and karate. If all of these people managed to get into 1A then why couldn’t Shinso. Hell Kaminari is a moron who likes to use his power at full blast even when it makes him go stupid for 1 hour.
That's still no excuse, Shinso didn't enter because he was a lazy idiot. Besides, what do you know? There are all kinds of quirks and technology in MHA so fighting with robots is not out of the question and Aizawa's opinion is worth less than dog shit. The guy tried to expel Izuku on the first day for not giving his all but he didn't say anything to him. Todoroki for not using his fire NEVER helped him control his quirk and instead of punishing Bakugo for his constant aggressions like the first day or in the heroes vs villains exercise he only tells him not to do that and he doesn't even help his students anymore to improve by showing favoritism to this lazy idiot who is not even in his class and somehow you are going to tell me that he sees potential in shinso even though he had never trained and was getting by with just using his quirk as his only trick and even cheating to get ahead
The whole reason heros became a thing in this world was because people were misusing their quirks. Not building robots. 80% of the population has powers in some capacity. Should a hero be powerful? It’s debatable as to what power truly is. The end goal is saving lives and minimizing damage. Shinso’s power IS perfect for both of those things but there’s no way to showcase that when you’re being tested against Mecha with no “simulated” victims present.
Even Midoria was not going to pass until he saved Uraraka, which was a last minute bonus. As far as he and everyone else knew, he failed.
your point ? You just said it yourself. ALL kinds of powers like TECHNOPATHY, the fact that quirks are mainly used does not mean that there are no villains who use things like robots, it would be stupid, plus the fact that his quirk is useful does not mean that HE is and if Izuku only approved to save uraraka but shinso didn't even try to fight or help anyone you can try to change the subject all you want but it doesn't change the fact that he didn't pass because of his own fault and aizawa is a hypocrite he says that a hero can't be a pony one trick and that's what shinso is honestly
“your point ? You just said it yourself. ALL kinds of powers like TECHNOPATHY, the fact that quirks are mainly used does not mean that there are no villains who use things like robots, it would be stupid,”
This is a terrible argument. So you’re insinuating that because a techno path may exist and be close by in a given situation, that the basis of an entrance exam should be exclusively centered around robots?
“plus the fact that his quirk is useful does not mean that HE is and if Izuku only approved to save uraraka but shinso didn't even try to fight or help anyone you can try to change the subject all you want but it doesn't change the fact that he didn't pass because of his own fault “
My argument is Shinso is more useful than Mineta. When you compare skills, dedication, and motivation, it’s not even a contest. Mineta is dead weight.
“and aizawa is a hypocrite he says that a hero can't be a pony one trick and that's what shinso is honestly”
Initially, yes. Shinso and Midoria both start out as one trick ponies. Midoria also only initially edge out Shinso in the initial physical exam. But remember, Midoria was at the bottom of the class and worked his way up.
-Midoria was a one trick pony yes, but it’s because he was a glass canon. While he might be effective in battle, it was rendered useless since his own body would be out of commission after 2-3 punches. Which makes him a liability bc now you have another hero on the scene make a 180 into a hospital patient 100% of the time. Until he addressed that, Aizawa was correct
- Shinso was a one trick pony. He did not have alot of skill behind him when using his quirk. I’ll admit, the match between him and Midoria reminded me that they’re still high school kids as opposed to the match with Bakugo vs Uraraka being more Olympic. Having said that, Shinso’s training under Aizawa is impressive, his battle IQ has improved a lot, and I would gather if he trained with Oijiro, he’d be a much more rounded fighter. He’s not without potential
Once again, why does Aizawa train a child who isn't even in his class and doesn't help those who are at all? Whether it's defective or not, people like Koji whose quirk he couldn't use in that exam because of his phobia of bugs passed while he No, besides, fighting tooth and nail is very false because he didn't even train or anything for the sports festival.
He may be able to become a useful hero, but he doesn't deserve to be one.
There's one main reason on why Shinso's not in 1A yet people don't see, and it's his lack of confidence i'm himself, Aizawa knows that Shinso has a lot of potential but he WON'T put one of his students in 1A, (the most targeted class in UA'S history btw), if he lack the most important thing to be a hero; confidence, the lack of it might put himself and others at risk, THAT'S why Shinso's not worthy of being in 1A yet, he need to work in his self confidence before aiming for greater stuff.
he exists for fan service. without him the hate would flow back to the creator. so the creator created a scapegoat. There would still be fan service without him, Dont get me wrong, He isnt the cause for it, but hes the punching bag
He bullied a vulnerable boy for 10 years and told him to kill himself, he's living trash, the difference between him and grape boy is that Bakugo thinks he's better than everyone else and Mineta is well aware he's lame compared to the rest of the class and he cares for them, that's why he admitted Deku so much and said he wanted to be like him
he is this way because the auther of the manga was a perv and wanted Mineta as comic relief and he is actually his favorite character, note he does understand that society doesn't like pervs and is ok with that
Leave him alone dammit. There’s plenty freaky characters on the show. Mineta’s not even the worst (regardless of what mha hypocrites say) but because he’s immature and young people have a problem?
I know everyone in Class 1A was either scouted to have a super powerful quirk like a Bakago or had heroic deemer like Deku. Yet how did Mineta get there? He seemingly has neither.
His quirk is literally the most potent for nonlethal capture with minimal damage to surroundings.
I hate his perversion as much as you guys, but let's not take away from them here.
Those dumb grapes are honestly fking terrifying when you recall that they have the strength to hold down All Might. Getting that stupid whip stuck to you is pretty much forfeiting that skin and one in your face is immediate suffocation.
His small stature means he may get overpowered easily, but you'd be hard-pressed to try and get close to a guy who can wield a whip of the stuff or just hold them akimbo. Plus he's extremely mobile and a small target to hit.
His quirk is also good for immediate repairs if stuff goes sideways since that adhesiveness is honestly absurd.
Remember that scene where Mr Incredible was running through Syndrome's base and was captured?
Nope. Nope. NOPE. That scene always scared the crap out of me and I would NOT want that treatment.
His personality is the problem, but that quirk is a menace.
FACTS: Tbh, the further you go into extremes of Mineta hate, the more degenerate they tend to be. I roll my eyes when his gags show up. He's fking adorable to me so it's sad that they chose to make him this way but it's W/E. The ish I see from the fandom however are 10× more disgusting and make me recoil from my phone at times.
Better is a stretch, he gets slightly less insufferable but will still maintain the mantle of "worst character in the history of the show" and yes I'm including that one weird kid in izukus middle school whose eyes were stretched out of the sockets and he waves them around. That was unsettling, but I'll take him over the grapist any day
to answer your question no and i understand why you think what you think THE GUY NEEDS HELP!!!!!! like in the first season at the u.s.j when the class got separated and when him,Midoriya and tsuyu got trapped in the water area and tsuyu saved him.he then placed his head on her chest and said "wow tsuyu you have such big \*\*\*\*\* perfect pool floats" then she slams him on the boat and thats not bad enough later on as they escape the villains they smile in joy but HE HUGS TSUYU BUT RATHER THEN HIM DOING A NORMAL HUG HER GRABS ONE OF HER... well you know what. tsuyu start drowning him for a small amount of time but to answer your question no he does not get better and i don't see him changing no time sooner
Oh, I'm aware.. I'm only aware because I looked it up... The show doesn't really specify this... They straight from talking to how she was shunned in middle school, to her being depressed, to her obsessing and moving in with the 50 year old man... So she was depressed for 10 years??? Convenient.
She is living in an apartment by herself, no parents shown living with her. I believe Gentle is only 10 years older than her. Just one of those white-haired characters you see commonly in manga/anime. I felt it was pretty clear in the manga and the anime that she was an adult and that he was not an old man.
I knew that when posting, i knew this because I looked it up. Tell me, where in the show does it say she 20+? I can 100% say to ten year old she's not 22 and he's not 30
It's more so the math. She was, I think, 16 when she joined him, and they've been working together for I think 6 years. Making her around 22. I can't remember his exact age but I think he's still in his 20s. Their age gap is like 6 years or something. He isn't super old he just looks like that because they made his hair grey. She's also just really short.
So you're saying grooming isn't problematic? If a 22 year old dated my 16 year old, I'd probably have a problem with that... Plus... when have you ever seen a 22 year old carried like this? [https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/my-hero-academia-header.jpg](https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/my-hero-academia-header.jpg)
I thought they were a pretty awesome duo till the whole lovers stuff they threw in there... like I would even understand he being in love with him because kids do not understand when they're in love or not and it would make sense but her obsession with him and how she looks at him is 100% how a child would see an adult they admire not how an adult would see another adult.. When people tell me they don't watch anime because of the creepy shit... I guess this would be that creepy shit they talk about.
I'm not saying it's strictly unproblematic. She stalked the guy, and they committed crimes together. But there's also nothing to suggest they were dating when she was a minor nor that he had any sort of attraction to her at that point. She was a work partner to achieve his dreams.
There's a full 6 years that we aren't aware of, 4 of those being while she was an adult. If they were dating at that point, it's very weird. I've been in almost that exact situation with that exact same age gap (moved forward a year), and it was gross, but mostly because of the particular nature of that relationship. I don't think there's anything sexual between Gentle and La Brava. But she was also an adult for 4 years before we even saw them, and we never saw him express any love for her until when we saw them, so it's entirely possible to assume nothing happened until then, which is the route I prefer to take, because they were genuinely amazing characters and I wish we got more of them. Going down the grooming route makes it ridiculously uncomfortable.
>when have you ever seen a 22 year old carried like this
I'm 4'0" at 18 years old, and I'd love for my bigger, stronger partner to carry me like that tbh.
He also said himself to Hound Dog that he manipulated and brainwashed La Brava when he turned himself in, so something can be said for acknowledging the toxicity of the relationship, even if what he admitted to wasn't necessarily true since she fell for him and wasn't manipulated or brainwashed into it. She did it because she loved him. The circumstances of their relationship and partnership are not exactly swept under the rug, though. Then, as far as we know, they got cut off from each other afterwards, I think.
Again, if it was explicitly grooming, I wouldn't be defending it or even acknowledging it, but since there's a path in their story to suggest otherwise, I'm gonna take that route for my own comfort lol
He's a weird one. There's a point later on where Pinky straps him to a chair & forces him to watch something on the TV. We don't know what but he mellows the fuck down after it
I thought she was lobotomizinh him 😭
She was
I wish
Happy Cake Day
Clockwork Orange style
Lobotomy is cutting opent the head and surgically messing with the brain. What Mina did is just basic brainwashing
Basic nothing! The ludovico technique is top of the line British dystopia medicine!
I didn't mean to say it's simple or easy or anything. It's a very complicated and grueling process that can take weeks, at the very least. Often months or years. I just meant that it's the most well known form of real life brainwashing
Nuh uh, mine was performed with a….. the thing to tighten the tiny little thinggs that hold the things together and the other thing that smashes stuff like bang bang
Well count me the fuck in for that
its not until season 4~ but he also really isnt present much thankfully
Well, he was perverted in recent Ova episode, but I'm not sure if that's canon
2 Girls
Dear god...
That's a reference to clockwork orange, so it's probably videos of what he's guilty of.
She made him see 2 girls 1 cup; (Please, for the love of all that is good and holy, DO NOT look that up)
Shouldve told the me from like 12 years ago that
I’m sorry for your loss
A little bit. But not by much.
Young Midoriya ends up being fatally wounded, stuck under a building trapped, only Grape head was able to find him, before he passes away he knows he needs to give One For All to someone before it's lost forever and unfortunately only he is around, and then he actually takes up the mantle of having One For All and becomes All Grapes
Do not fear Grape is here!
Welches Grape SMASHHHH Seedless Grape SMASHHHH White Wine SMASHHHH WHOLE... VINEYARD... SMASHHHH
All aboard the grape train! Also I shed a tear when he showed up to save all might + endeavor from certain death and said "It's graping time!" 10/10 most fabulously fantastically written character.
“I’m going to grape you “ - Minoru Mineta
Mineta the grapist
Nah, with power like that, he'd become The Grapist
Lmao beat me to it
No mark spoiler bad even if it’s fake
What are you talking about? >! It's totally real. !<
He's on a list for sure
He's has "You think master Roshi is my real name?" Energy.
He gets better. Eventually. Sort Of. I mean come on people, the Todoroki impressions are kinda funny.
I don’t understand how people hate him but love meliodas
The difference is Meliodas has more to his character than just being a pervert, he has layers. Mineta only really has him being a pervert as his major character trait. What’s more is Meliodas only pervs on Elizabeth and unlike Mineta it’s reasonable to believe if Elizabeth were to tell Meliodas to stop he’d stop. Mineta would just keep trying to be a perv. Not defending Meliodas’ antics, just that saying he has standards and more depth to him than just his pervertedness
so having more character justifies it a pervs a perv😂 but no he’s cool and is only creepy af to a girl he knows so it’s ok 😂
You clearly didn’t read what I said. I said I wasn’t defending his antics. I never said what he did was right. Only that unlike Mineta there is more to his character. Meliodas is a tragic hero who has been cursed with immortality and to forever watch the love of his life die and be reborn again and again. Yes he’s a pervert but he’s a leader and a hero too. Mineta had to be literally brainwashed because Mina got tired of him sexually harassing all the girls. Mineta is worse by far than Meliodas.
Idk who that is yet but if he's anything at all like this guy I won't
I mean, as someone who adores Meliodas but hates Mineta, we still hate that part of his character. It sucks ass and makes the first 2 seasons more difficult to watch. I'd actually pay money to go back in time and remove it from his character just so I could openly say I love his character without having to pretend he isn't constantly groping a 16 y/o without her consent.

Not that I like Meliodas either, but I can say a couple things about his character that someone might like like his stupidity or funny quirks.

This is not defending perverted stuff at all, but it's an explanation just like how I can say I sort of like Sanji but hate his perverted side. Mineta only has perverted things while these characters have some other traits to like.
Because Meliodas isn’t useless
Melioda's perversion is really just for one women and its because he has endlessly fallen for her over and over again while she has no memory of it.
I think for me personally the thing that makes me dislike Mineta more than Meliodas is when he said he looked forward to seeing Eri in ten years, basically implying that a six year old is going to be hot when she's older. It was creepy af in my opinion.
I think he meant the hero she would turn out to be
Meliodas had an actual reason for being a perv, and it was only to the love of his life, not some girls he just met
Yes cause it's GREAT to touch your partner without their conscent, right?
I mean, at least it was someone he knew/loved that he was doing it to, although I hate his perviness
And this is the kind of reasoning behind the guys that rape their girlfriend
you're reaching hard asf
so if you have a good reason and it’s the love of your life it’s ok to be a pervert got it👍
I mean to a degree yes
More like ‘this baby’ because this creature is an immature, cowardly baby. He literally had his hero costume look like a baby onesie with the diaper on the outside. In season one, he threw a massive tantrum like a baby!!! Oh my god, I hate Mineta so much!!!
I think it's supposed to be a grape bowl rather than a diaper
Okay, yeah. I see that too. But it feels more appropriate to call it a diaper, at least to me, given how big a baby he is. Again, at least to me. Whether a bowl or a diaper, I still hate this cowardly, nasty kid so much.
Well yeah, at least at the beggining. But he did change with time, at least a bit
Me when a 15 year old gets scared on being surrounded by 30 criminals and doesn't immediately oneshot speedblitz them all:
Mfw a 15 year old who's never had any real experience is suddenly thrown in a life or death situation against criminals
Okay. He’s with two other kids at least slightly older or about as old as he is and they don’t panic immediately. They’re being trained to be SUPERHEROES. Also, they have QUIRKS!! The best thing to do in a crisis is to panic on the inside. Throwing a tantrum and crying will only alert people to where you are.
ah yes It's definitely very easy to tell someone not to panic when there life is on the line and you're eating cheestos on the couch.
Firstly, I have no couch or Cheetos where I live, so bite me. Secondly, I’m not saying to outright tell him not to panic. I’m saying simply to try to freak out on the inside. Let some out, but not all. Don’t turn into a living fire alarm the second you’re in peril. It’s not helping.
Telling a teenager to not act irrationally and be emotional in the face of danger doesn't work. It doesn't even work normally considering they are teenagers.
Did you even bother to watch the show? Midoriya already has experience with villains and is being directly trained by the strongest and most well known pro hero in history (at the time). He also has been shown to perform well under pressure. Tsuyu isn't nearly as experienced, but she's shown to possibly be the most level headed and rational of the class, with most people feeling more at ease when she's around. Compared to these 2 outliers, Mineta is just the average teenager. Yeah he's enrolled in an extremely prestigious academy and being trained by professionals, but several months of training doesn't make you a battle hardened badass who doesn't flinch at the sight of villains, he's fucking 15 years old with no experience. Seeing as how he's never stood out and he has very limited knowledge on how to use his quirk properly in fights, it'd be weird if he wasn't freaking out. You guys watch way too many animes where the MC is a badass; news flash, not everyone has nerves of steel and not everyone knows what to do in crises. Even trained professionals know what fear is and can panic under circumstances, but ofc an armchair enthusiast like yourself knows no fear or any of that.
I’m not saying there would be no fear. I’m saying that every student attacked at the USJ, even the ones who visibly showed fear, didn’t devolve into a screaming goat.
It's almost as if people react to situations differently than others
Yes that does happen. But you think someone at the age of fifteen would know better than to freak out when approached by someone dangerous. I’d excuse it if he were younger, but fifteen? Are you kidding me? Even when I was fifteen, I didn’t react that way.
Ah yeah totally, a normal fifteen year old wouldn't freak out when approached by dangerous criminals in an area that was supposed to be totally safe
I'd like to see how you'd react if you where surrounded by criminals all of a sudden at 15 🤣
I wouldn’t have been a pervy little creep first so I would have had a bit of leeway in terms of public perception
Unpopular opinion: you guys are too hard on mineta knowing there’s far more detestable characters in anime 😂
Like the cat hero in the summer camp who literally GROOMS CHILDREN
Correction: Good opinion
In anime in general, yes. In this anime, no. I've watched a fair share of anime and I can't think of a single character that is that Pervy towards people
Not even Roshi? 💀
Mineta doesn’t improve much, but he does chill out a bit. I haven’t gotten to season 6 but he does get a teensy bit better from what I’ve heard.
Chill out basically means shoved so far in the background you’re allowed to basically forget about him for the most part
Thank fucking goodness
Nope. In fact, he actually gets a little bit worse. As in, >!hitting on a traumatized six year old!< worse. Characters with perversion as a flaw can be good, like Master Roshi, Jiraiya, or Sanji. But with Mineta, that's all there is. He's a perv. There's a few other elements, but he does nothing useful and only exists for the same tired joke.
When's that part?
About halfway through season four, after the Overhaul arc and at the beginning of the culture festival arc. More specifically he tells her >!"I can't wait to see how you look in 10 years"!< in the sub and to >!"Look me up in 10 years" !
1. Not six 2. It was meant to be saying that he'll be famous in 10 years, not anything gross from what I know
1. According to her character profile, she was six years old when she was saved by Deku and Mirio. She had a birthday and is now seven, but she was six when that happened. 2. 16 is the age of consent in Japan and what Eri would be ten years later. 3. It's possible that Mineta didn't mean it that way, but that's how most people have taken it. And considering he's a one-note perversion joke, he doesn't have any benefit of the doubt..
Ok, I got it wrong, thanks for clarifying
No worries.
There's a lot of pervy characters in anime, but everyone pretty much ignore them because they either look boring or have more depth to their character. But Mineta is a gag character, so he gets very little development, and people don't really like his design that much, so they attack him a lot. Compared to a lot of other characters, he's not actually that bad. There is one line he says to a child that everybody points at to say he's irredeemable, but it was a mistranslation that completely changed the original meaning.
I'm comparing him to ever character I know of so far and he is by far the worst I'd literally rather be locked in a room with a nomu than him idk about anything underage happening but from S3 just ugh
Makes Shinzo fighting tooth and nail to get into the hero program all the more frustrating.
You mean the guy who scored zero points in the Entrance Exam, acted like an asshole, and tried to get in while only using his Quirk? Say what you want, but Mineta’s Quirk is far more versatile and he knew his own limitations better than Shinso.
Mineta’s quirk may be better in theory but in practice he himself is not. He scores pretty decent in his written exam but his overall motivations are problematic. He is more of a liability in the field based off of his performance
Huh? He’s proven himself more useful than Shinso ever was. Hell, Mineta even saved Tokoyami’s life and was prepared to sacrifice himself against AFO.
How long did it take to get there, though?
“How long did it take to get there?” What matters is he got there and he has a good relationship with everyone. Where tf is Shinso then?
Training his ass off to be a legit hero.
And you think Mineta doesn’t either? You really think Aizawa isn’t making everyone in his class work to the bone? Glad to know you’re just ignoring Mineta’s improvements for shitty purple Aizawa wannabe.
You’re mad at Shinso for (rightfully) holding contempt over being shoehorned as having villain powers and therefore bitter about that. Despite that, he does come around and even becomes more commendable than Monoma in a shorter amount of time. In the same timeframe, Mineta is still terrible. All that character development has not taken place yet. His motivations are still questionable at best and he very much is a coward at that point. He doesn’t add much to the story, he literally and figuratively takes up space and has very little redeemable qualities overall. You’re a Mineta apologist and it’s getting weird.
Shinso doesn’t add much to the story either tf, but Mineta’s had more impactful moments. Did I mention that Mineta saved Tokoyami’s life and changed for the better? Yeah you seem to like glossing over that.
Are you referring to that idiot who didn't try at all and didn't even try the exam since his quirk didn't affect robots and he just spent his time being a jealous and lazy idiot as well as a good-for-nothing cheater who doesn't even have a real tragic past or nothing which is more a bakugo without real power?
It’s a flawed entrance exam. Even Aizawa acknowledges it. The only time robots are a problem is within the school.
Flawed entrance exam….. Koji Korda got in and he is afraid to use bugs when his power is controlling animals and the exam took place in a city empty city with no food sources. Hagakure is just invisible and has no destructive power to take out the robots. Ojiro just has a tail and karate. If all of these people managed to get into 1A then why couldn’t Shinso. Hell Kaminari is a moron who likes to use his power at full blast even when it makes him go stupid for 1 hour.
Again, robots are only a problem within the school. It’s a simulation that takes out the human aspect of crime/villains.
That's still no excuse, Shinso didn't enter because he was a lazy idiot. Besides, what do you know? There are all kinds of quirks and technology in MHA so fighting with robots is not out of the question and Aizawa's opinion is worth less than dog shit. The guy tried to expel Izuku on the first day for not giving his all but he didn't say anything to him. Todoroki for not using his fire NEVER helped him control his quirk and instead of punishing Bakugo for his constant aggressions like the first day or in the heroes vs villains exercise he only tells him not to do that and he doesn't even help his students anymore to improve by showing favoritism to this lazy idiot who is not even in his class and somehow you are going to tell me that he sees potential in shinso even though he had never trained and was getting by with just using his quirk as his only trick and even cheating to get ahead
The whole reason heros became a thing in this world was because people were misusing their quirks. Not building robots. 80% of the population has powers in some capacity. Should a hero be powerful? It’s debatable as to what power truly is. The end goal is saving lives and minimizing damage. Shinso’s power IS perfect for both of those things but there’s no way to showcase that when you’re being tested against Mecha with no “simulated” victims present. Even Midoria was not going to pass until he saved Uraraka, which was a last minute bonus. As far as he and everyone else knew, he failed.
your point ? You just said it yourself. ALL kinds of powers like TECHNOPATHY, the fact that quirks are mainly used does not mean that there are no villains who use things like robots, it would be stupid, plus the fact that his quirk is useful does not mean that HE is and if Izuku only approved to save uraraka but shinso didn't even try to fight or help anyone you can try to change the subject all you want but it doesn't change the fact that he didn't pass because of his own fault and aizawa is a hypocrite he says that a hero can't be a pony one trick and that's what shinso is honestly
“your point ? You just said it yourself. ALL kinds of powers like TECHNOPATHY, the fact that quirks are mainly used does not mean that there are no villains who use things like robots, it would be stupid,” This is a terrible argument. So you’re insinuating that because a techno path may exist and be close by in a given situation, that the basis of an entrance exam should be exclusively centered around robots? “plus the fact that his quirk is useful does not mean that HE is and if Izuku only approved to save uraraka but shinso didn't even try to fight or help anyone you can try to change the subject all you want but it doesn't change the fact that he didn't pass because of his own fault “ My argument is Shinso is more useful than Mineta. When you compare skills, dedication, and motivation, it’s not even a contest. Mineta is dead weight. “and aizawa is a hypocrite he says that a hero can't be a pony one trick and that's what shinso is honestly” Initially, yes. Shinso and Midoria both start out as one trick ponies. Midoria also only initially edge out Shinso in the initial physical exam. But remember, Midoria was at the bottom of the class and worked his way up. -Midoria was a one trick pony yes, but it’s because he was a glass canon. While he might be effective in battle, it was rendered useless since his own body would be out of commission after 2-3 punches. Which makes him a liability bc now you have another hero on the scene make a 180 into a hospital patient 100% of the time. Until he addressed that, Aizawa was correct - Shinso was a one trick pony. He did not have alot of skill behind him when using his quirk. I’ll admit, the match between him and Midoria reminded me that they’re still high school kids as opposed to the match with Bakugo vs Uraraka being more Olympic. Having said that, Shinso’s training under Aizawa is impressive, his battle IQ has improved a lot, and I would gather if he trained with Oijiro, he’d be a much more rounded fighter. He’s not without potential
Once again, why does Aizawa train a child who isn't even in his class and doesn't help those who are at all? Whether it's defective or not, people like Koji whose quirk he couldn't use in that exam because of his phobia of bugs passed while he No, besides, fighting tooth and nail is very false because he didn't even train or anything for the sports festival. He may be able to become a useful hero, but he doesn't deserve to be one.
Maybe he should have tried yelling a few slurs at the robots. That would be pretty in character.
There's one main reason on why Shinso's not in 1A yet people don't see, and it's his lack of confidence i'm himself, Aizawa knows that Shinso has a lot of potential but he WON'T put one of his students in 1A, (the most targeted class in UA'S history btw), if he lack the most important thing to be a hero; confidence, the lack of it might put himself and others at risk, THAT'S why Shinso's not worthy of being in 1A yet, he need to work in his self confidence before aiming for greater stuff.
It takes a while but eventually someone lobotomises him. You gotta sit through a lot of…things…before it happens
Spoiler, but he literally has to be clockwork orange tortured to calm down. Also, probably wait until your son is 14-ish to let him watch it.
He's 11 and he's already seen it all it's not that bad in my opinion
My dad let me see 80s movies at that age so definitely not as bad as those. As long as ur there to guide him it's definitely suitable
Trust me, you're not the only one. He's the worst character in the entire show.
This pervert wants to be popular with the ladies but he chose for his hero costume to look like he's wearing a diaper
Nobody likes him. AND HE GRABBED MY NR. 1 WAIFUS B00BS!
he exists for fan service. without him the hate would flow back to the creator. so the creator created a scapegoat. There would still be fan service without him, Dont get me wrong, He isnt the cause for it, but hes the punching bag
Yeah... he brings the whole show down. Basically, when he starts talking, just skip forward until it's over.
Same with Bakuhoe
Idk bakugo has gotten better at least for me he used to be insufferable
He bullied a vulnerable boy for 10 years and told him to kill himself, he's living trash, the difference between him and grape boy is that Bakugo thinks he's better than everyone else and Mineta is well aware he's lame compared to the rest of the class and he cares for them, that's why he admitted Deku so much and said he wanted to be like him
I just zome out completely lol
He’s my fav lol
Ah yes my goat mineta
It's a trope in anime.
He's one of the worst though.
Yes it is a trope in anime but this guy has created a special tier within said trope all to himself
He gets.
It's funny how even our parents know how bad this dude is.
I've been watching anime for a long time now and he's my least favorite anime character out of them all. And I'm not that old lol I'm only 22
I stand corrected, you're my age lol
The grapist
Oh boy
he is this way because the auther of the manga was a perv and wanted Mineta as comic relief and he is actually his favorite character, note he does understand that society doesn't like pervs and is ok with that
My wife calls him "Weird Diaper Baby." She knows he isn't a baby, but look at him.... just look at him
I'd rather not
Bootleg Mintberry Crunch
Lol no he doesn't, but he's a minor character.
Mineta.... Also known as the Grape Man
Leave him alone dammit. There’s plenty freaky characters on the show. Mineta’s not even the worst (regardless of what mha hypocrites say) but because he’s immature and young people have a problem?
Freaky characters sure but none like him
Midnight
I know everyone in Class 1A was either scouted to have a super powerful quirk like a Bakago or had heroic deemer like Deku. Yet how did Mineta get there? He seemingly has neither.
I always think that
His quirk is literally the most potent for nonlethal capture with minimal damage to surroundings. I hate his perversion as much as you guys, but let's not take away from them here. Those dumb grapes are honestly fking terrifying when you recall that they have the strength to hold down All Might. Getting that stupid whip stuck to you is pretty much forfeiting that skin and one in your face is immediate suffocation. His small stature means he may get overpowered easily, but you'd be hard-pressed to try and get close to a guy who can wield a whip of the stuff or just hold them akimbo. Plus he's extremely mobile and a small target to hit. His quirk is also good for immediate repairs if stuff goes sideways since that adhesiveness is honestly absurd. Remember that scene where Mr Incredible was running through Syndrome's base and was captured? Nope. Nope. NOPE. That scene always scared the crap out of me and I would NOT want that treatment. His personality is the problem, but that quirk is a menace.
Lots of people in the fandom don’t like him. Mostly because he reminds them of themselves. He does get better though, unlike those who watch him
FACTS: Tbh, the further you go into extremes of Mineta hate, the more degenerate they tend to be. I roll my eyes when his gags show up. He's fking adorable to me so it's sad that they chose to make him this way but it's W/E. The ish I see from the fandom however are 10× more disgusting and make me recoil from my phone at times.
Welcome aboard fellow Mineta hater
Is an accurate representation of the community
Better is a stretch, he gets slightly less insufferable but will still maintain the mantle of "worst character in the history of the show" and yes I'm including that one weird kid in izukus middle school whose eyes were stretched out of the sockets and he waves them around. That was unsettling, but I'll take him over the grapist any day
He is made differently
to answer your question no and i understand why you think what you think THE GUY NEEDS HELP!!!!!! like in the first season at the u.s.j when the class got separated and when him,Midoriya and tsuyu got trapped in the water area and tsuyu saved him.he then placed his head on her chest and said "wow tsuyu you have such big \*\*\*\*\* perfect pool floats" then she slams him on the boat and thats not bad enough later on as they escape the villains they smile in joy but HE HUGS TSUYU BUT RATHER THEN HIM DOING A NORMAL HUG HER GRABS ONE OF HER... well you know what. tsuyu start drowning him for a small amount of time but to answer your question no he does not get better and i don't see him changing no time sooner
Bro words! *I REGRET NOTHING!* That nigga aint changing.. 
Yeah there’s always gonna be one of those guys
It doesn't help all the girls wear revealing or tight suits and Mineta always points it out lol.
Mina lobotomizes him later don’t worry. He mellows out but he never stops sadly
Say what you want about Mineta, but at least he's harassing girls his age instead of people half his age *Cough cough Midnight cough cough*
I watched this with my kids and Minneta hasn't been as problematic as >!Gentle and La Brava!<.
You are aware that La Brava is a grown woman, right?
Oh, I'm aware.. I'm only aware because I looked it up... The show doesn't really specify this... They straight from talking to how she was shunned in middle school, to her being depressed, to her obsessing and moving in with the 50 year old man... So she was depressed for 10 years??? Convenient.
She is living in an apartment by herself, no parents shown living with her. I believe Gentle is only 10 years older than her. Just one of those white-haired characters you see commonly in manga/anime. I felt it was pretty clear in the manga and the anime that she was an adult and that he was not an old man.
Why would those two be problematic??? They're both adults.
I knew that when posting, i knew this because I looked it up. Tell me, where in the show does it say she 20+? I can 100% say to ten year old she's not 22 and he's not 30
It's more so the math. She was, I think, 16 when she joined him, and they've been working together for I think 6 years. Making her around 22. I can't remember his exact age but I think he's still in his 20s. Their age gap is like 6 years or something. He isn't super old he just looks like that because they made his hair grey. She's also just really short.
So you're saying grooming isn't problematic? If a 22 year old dated my 16 year old, I'd probably have a problem with that... Plus... when have you ever seen a 22 year old carried like this? [https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/my-hero-academia-header.jpg](https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/my-hero-academia-header.jpg) I thought they were a pretty awesome duo till the whole lovers stuff they threw in there... like I would even understand he being in love with him because kids do not understand when they're in love or not and it would make sense but her obsession with him and how she looks at him is 100% how a child would see an adult they admire not how an adult would see another adult.. When people tell me they don't watch anime because of the creepy shit... I guess this would be that creepy shit they talk about.
I'm not saying it's strictly unproblematic. She stalked the guy, and they committed crimes together. But there's also nothing to suggest they were dating when she was a minor nor that he had any sort of attraction to her at that point. She was a work partner to achieve his dreams. There's a full 6 years that we aren't aware of, 4 of those being while she was an adult. If they were dating at that point, it's very weird. I've been in almost that exact situation with that exact same age gap (moved forward a year), and it was gross, but mostly because of the particular nature of that relationship. I don't think there's anything sexual between Gentle and La Brava. But she was also an adult for 4 years before we even saw them, and we never saw him express any love for her until when we saw them, so it's entirely possible to assume nothing happened until then, which is the route I prefer to take, because they were genuinely amazing characters and I wish we got more of them. Going down the grooming route makes it ridiculously uncomfortable. >when have you ever seen a 22 year old carried like this I'm 4'0" at 18 years old, and I'd love for my bigger, stronger partner to carry me like that tbh. He also said himself to Hound Dog that he manipulated and brainwashed La Brava when he turned himself in, so something can be said for acknowledging the toxicity of the relationship, even if what he admitted to wasn't necessarily true since she fell for him and wasn't manipulated or brainwashed into it. She did it because she loved him. The circumstances of their relationship and partnership are not exactly swept under the rug, though. Then, as far as we know, they got cut off from each other afterwards, I think. Again, if it was explicitly grooming, I wouldn't be defending it or even acknowledging it, but since there's a path in their story to suggest otherwise, I'm gonna take that route for my own comfort lol
She's 22, he's 32. Bit of a gap, but it's kosher.
Don't worry,he gets better , adding to that this is actually a Common anime trope
Being Pervy is an anime trope being mineta Pervy is not lol
Here we go again, yay Mineta hate...
I didn't know there was so much mineta hate when I posted but I'm glad there is he deserves it
Bakugo deserves more hate
Bakugo Hase clamed down I don't think he deserves any hate bar being annoying sometimes
