Who Has a Crush on Deku in My Hero Academia? A Passionate Gamer‘s Breakdown
Deku, aka Izuku Midoriya, is the lovable underdog hero-in-training at the heart of My Hero Academia. But behind that signature freckled smile, which girl is crushing on this One For All successor? As a passionate MHA gamer and fan, I‘m here to analyze the contenders and explore who truly has feelings for our boy Deku!
The Obvious Frontrunner: Ochaco Uraraka
There‘s no doubt about it – the girl whose crush on Deku leaps off the pages is Class 1-A‘s own Ochaco Uraraka, aka Uravity. Ever since their fateful meeting at the entrance exam, Uraraka has shown a clear affinity for Deku that goes beyond simple friendship.
Moments That Reveal Uraraka‘s Growing Feelings
Here are some of the key scenes that showcase Uraraka‘s burgeoning crush on Deku:
- She was immensely touched when Deku turned his insulting nickname into a badge of honor, inspiring him to adopt "Deku" as his hero name.
- At the Pro Hero License Exam, Uraraka was unable to hide her concern for an injured Deku, despite the test conditions.
- During the Joint Training arc, Uraraka became wildly jealous when seeing Deku team up closely with Mei Hatsume. She even admitted her jealousy aloud!
- When Deku unlocked Float, Uraraka was awestruck and blushed when he described the inspiration behind the new power.
It‘s moments like these that prove – without a shadow of a doubt – that Uraraka‘s feelings for Deku go far beyond simple friendship.
Could This Develop Into a Romance?
As a passionate MHA gamer and fan, I think there‘s a high probability that Uraraka‘s crush could blossom into a full-fledged romance by the end of the series. Here‘s why:
- Uraraka and Deku continue to grow closer through shared experiences.
- They both admire and inspire one another to become better heroes.
- Deku clearly cares a great deal about Uraraka, though he may be oblivious to her romantic interest.
- Uraraka‘s jealousy over other girls shows she wants to be more than friends.
If Uraraka can overcome her embarrassment and confess her feelings, there‘s a good chance Deku could reciprocate – leading to a heroic partnership both in battle and romance!
Other Potential Love Interests for Deku
While Uraraka seems to have the closest emotional connection to Deku, a few other girls have shown subtle signs of interest in our protagonist:
Mei Hatsume
The gadget-building student from the Support Course is always eager to use Deku as a model to show off her inventions. Could her fascination with his powers indicate romantic feelings too?
Toga Himiko
The bloodthirsty League of Villains member has exhibited an unusual obsession with Deku‘s heroic spirit. Is it just part of her twisted personality, or does she harbor a warped crush?
Melissa Shield
All Might‘s friend‘s daughter clearly looks up to Deku for his analytical abilities. Their bond over a shared love of heroes could hint at a deeper connection.
Camie Utsushimi
The lazy second-year student made Deku flustered during their license exam team-up. Does the illusionist have real feelings behind her flirtatious personality?
Ranking Other Potential Love Interests
While these girls have shown some subtle signs of interest, I don‘t think any of their chances come close to Uraraka‘s at this point in the series. Here‘s how I‘d rank the likelihood of them ending up with Deku:
| Girl | Romance Probability |
|---|---|
| Uraraka | 99% |
| Melissa Shield | 20% |
| Mei Hatsume | 15% |
| Toga Himiko | 5% |
| Camie Utsushimi | 2% |
As you can see, Uraraka thoroughly dominates any shipping polls and fanfiction out there, while the others have minimal traction. But hey, you never know what future story developments could bring!
Who Will Deku Ultimately End Up With?
As a passionate MHA expert, I think Uraraka has the clearest shot at winning Deku‘s heart down the line. They have fantastic emotional chemistry, a shared heroic spirit, and Uraraka‘s crush continues to grow stronger. Plus, the manga and anime clearly frame her as the foremost love interest through reaction shots and prominence.
However, given Horikoshi‘s unpredictability, we can‘t fully rule out a dark-horse romance with Toga Himiko or an unexpected new love interest popping up late in the series. Regardless, any Deku romance would need to be handled delicately, as his top priority is still becoming the world‘s greatest hero.
Ultimately, I predict Uraraka will finally confess her feelings, prompting Deku to recognize and reciprocate. This will lead to an epic – if awkward – heroic partnership fused with romantic tension aplenty! But Deku‘s inherent obliviousness may cause some hurdles before we reach that point…
Deku Remains Hilariously Oblivious
Despite all of these increasingly obvious signs of Uraraka‘s crush, Deku hasn‘t picked up on her feelings at all! Our boy is completely focused on hero work and thinks of Uraraka simply as an invaluable friend. Deku continues to comically misinterpret any of Uraraka‘s attempts to grow closer as just ordinary friendship.
Gotta love Deku, but his total obliviousness makes me facepalm and laugh out loud! I mean, Uraraka clearly acts jealous and flustered around him, yet he doesn‘t connect the dots. Even dense harem protagonists would‘ve realized her crush by now!
But Deku‘s endearing social awkwardness is part of why we root for him. Once he inevitably discovers Uraraka‘s true feelings, his flabbergasted reaction will be priceless! I can already imagine him short-circuiting mentally with that signature muttering.
Will Deku remain oblivious forever, or will he finally get the message that Uraraka is head-over-heels for him? As a passionate MHA fan, I‘m eagerly awaiting the exciting romantic developments ahead!
