* There is a discussion on the fact that Midoriya has yet to get any public recognition for his work as a hero, especially after defeating Overhaul. Some fans complain that this is unfair to the character and a contrived way to keep Midoriya in a sort of underdog role that he has already outgrew in the eyes of the fans. Another camp argues that it makes sense for Midoriya to not get any recognition, as his main actions needed to be hidden (his battle against Stain and intervention on Bakugou's rescue were unsanctioned and his battle against Overhaul was part of an undercover mission) and that he has, at least, gained the recognition of other professional heroes and his peers, which is arguably more important for a hero in training starting his career.

* Mineta. Some people enjoy his perverted antics, while others believe that he takes screentime away from other characters that could otherwise be given a chance to shine. Some people want to wait for him to receive significant development before calling him irredeemable, but some others think that he has had plenty of time for any kind of development. It is also worthy of note that the majority of people who treat Mineta as a HateSink tend to be women, or people who have experienced sexual harassment both in and outside of high school. Kaminari has also proven himself to fulfil the role of 'class pervert' without doing things that would count as criminal offences outside of the series, which is otherwise a DeconstructorFleet.

* Endeavor. While he is presented as an AbusiveParent and HateSink, he still managed to get fans for EvilIsCool and EvilIsSexy reasons. The fact that he received a redemption arc sparked some heavy battles between those who feel that the manga shouldn't be able to apologize for someone who had severely abused his family for years on end, and those who like the idea that Endeavor is portrayed as a three-dimensional character who acknowledges his own monstrosities. [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement These debates got very heated]]. It should be noted that this mindset is mainly featured in West.

One party believes Horikoshi to be doing amazing in showing the female cast, giving them equal focus as the male characters while also allowing them each a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome on a regular basis, considering it a rarity for most shonen, and even having female characters that aren't necessarily waifish, with different body types being among the cast. Another party believes Horikoshi is wasting the female cast's potential, and that the male characters take up the spotlight while the females stay in the background.

[[folder:Characters]]
* Shigaraki. Some like him for how [[CreepyAwesome creepy]] he is, while others find his [[PsychopathicManchild childish behavior]] [[{{Narm}} hard to]] [[NightmareRetardant take seriously]]. Not helping matters is that Stain became more popular than him, and he was only a brief ArcVillain.
* Endeavor. While he is presented as an AbusiveParent and HateSink, he still managed to get fans for EvilIsCool and EvilIsSexy reasons. The fact that he received a redemption arc sparked some heavy battles between those who feel that the manga shouldn't be able to apologize for someone who had severely abused his family for years on end, and those who like the idea that Endeavor is portrayed as a three-dimensional character who acknowledges his own monstrosities. [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement These debates got very heated]]. It should be noted that this mindset is mainly featured in West.
* Stain. Originally an EnsembleDarkhorse for the beloved arc he debuted in and for presenting some [[StrawmanHasAPoint valid criticisms of hero society]], Stain began to fall out of favor with a significant swathe of the fanbase after a deeper introspection of both his character and ideals. Supporters view him as an EvilIsCool character that raised some valid issues and was right in some of his beliefs, as the narrative itself supports. Detractors, however, consider him a massive {{hypocrite}} with little ground to stand on, and that the narrative vindicating some of his beliefs comes across as absurd. There is little leeway in viewing him. One of the biggest factors behind his divisive nature is his ideology, detailed in BrokenBase.
* Eri. Some dislike her because they believe that she serves much more as a plot device than an actual character, while others like her for being an adorable {{Woobie}}. The other issue is that her power is [[RetGone essentially able to undo anything]], meaning that she endangers the plot's drama by showing a capacity of undoing All Might's injuries and [[spoiler:Mirio's lost Quirk]]. Her fans, however, point out that this has been already taken care of in the sense that she was shown to not be able to use it properly and is dangerous to train her to even use it, considering her power has to affect living things.

[[folder:Story Elements]]
* Reactions to Uraraka developing a crush on Midoriya are mixed, with those that are against it stating that it has caused her to become DemotedToSatelliteLoveInterest. Not helping matters is that out of all the main characters, she's the only one that has yet to have ADayInTheLimelight arc. However, some defend it because once Uraraka had her LoveEpiphany, she decided that either LoveIsAWeakness or that while Midoriya is nice, she has her own goals to work towards. As the series continues and Uraraka began to slowly drip OutOfFocus, detractors began writing her off as a lost cause and claiming she's been DemotedToSatelliteLoveInterest, while supporters argue she has still had small appearences from time to time, with very few focusing on her feelings for Midoriya but rather more on her motivations.
* Horikoshi's handling of the female characters. One party believes Horikoshi to be doing amazing in showing the female cast, giving them equal focus as the male characters while also allowing them each a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome on a regular basis, considering it a rarity for most shonen, and even having female characters that aren't necessarily waifish, with different body types being among the cast. Another party believes Horikoshi is wasting the female cast's potential, and that the male characters take up the spotlight while the females stay in the background. A third party believes that while Horikoshi is doing better than most, the girls are still outshined by the guys.
** The questionably mature art of the main Class 1-A girls. Some fans don't like the art because they feel that it "sexualizes teenagers." Others, however, appreciate the fanservice and are quick to call out these people for "stirring up trouble," or "witchhunting."
* The nature of Hero Society, and what constitutes as right and wrong, the topic of debate heavily tied into the nature of ToBeLawfulOrGood. The Hero Society is shown to allow anyone to attain licences to be heroes and help people, at the cost of criminalizing individuals who attempt to help without proper licensing. Several instances in which characters perform heroic acts end with them nearly getting into legal trouble for doing so without permission, including Midoriya attempting to save Bakugou from the Slime Villain, Midoriya, Todoroki, and Iida's apprehending of Stain, and the Bakugou Rescue Squad's successful retrieval of Bakugou. Vigilantes in particular are treated as lawbreakers, in spite of their existence being the origin of Hero Society.
** Supporters point out that this is, at worst, a NecessaryEvil so that Quirk usage doesn't run wild and so people without the proper training don't get hurt.
** Detractors however point out that punishing individuals for accomplishing things neither law enforcement nor heroes could manage to do is extremely idiotic, and does nothing more than enforce complacency as they are forced to do nothing but wait for a licensed hero, something heavily hinted in series to be part of the reason Shigaraki turned out the way he did.
** Not helping matters is the seeming {{hypocri|te}}sy behind some of the decisions made, such as the near threat of expulsion for most of 1-A for their part in saving Bakugou, or the near arresting of Midoriya, Iida, and Todoroki for apprehending Stain unlicensed, despite both situations being what they're being trained to stop.
*** Defenders of the society point out that for all intents and purposes, the students broke the law, and shouldn't be given leeway just for having good intentions.
*** Detractors however note that had said actions not been performed, the situations would have turned out much worse, and punishing them flies in the face of one of the core themes of the series, being a hero means sticking your nose where it doesn't belong, in this case, outside the law.
* Stain's ideology. While originally [[StrawmanHasAPoint near unanimously agreed on]], as the series continued and a deeper analysis of his ideals was made, Stain's ideology became a heavy topic of debate:
** Like Stain himself, defenders believe in the ideology, noting the hero ranking system has led to many heroes being focused more on competing rather than on saving people, and that this environment is what bred heroes like Endeavor[[note]]Whose drive to surpass All Might led to him engaging in a [[ArrangedMarriage Quirk Marriage]], and the abuse of both his wife and children.[[/note]], while also pointing out that both Midoriya and Iida note that his ideals were justified, it was just his actions that made him reprehensible.

* The Internship Arc has become one of the most controversial parts of the story, with many people calling it either the best or worst arc in the entire series. Those who love it often praise the darker tone and greater focus on the villains and their relationship with others, as well as the intense and emotional battles throughout the arc, and the fact that [[spoiler: it has the series' first CharacterDeath]]. Detractors of the arc often bring up how the main cast is almost entirely sidelined in favor of characters who have just been introduced, taking away some of the impact of higher stakes, the awkward pacing and ArcFatigue, and the entirety of the female heroes role in the story being relegated to half a chapter. Additionally, despite his amazing introduction, [[spoiler:Overhaul's entire organization is destroyed in the span of a single operation, making him look completely incompetent, and immediately after has his arms removed by the League of Villains, who were able to win their short lived "rivalry" by leaving all the work to the Heroes]]. However, the base is less broken in regards to the ending of the arc, which both fans and detractors agree to be rushed.
* Endeavor's "redemption arc". This one has become a huge topic of debate since Endeavor and All Might's conversation in the provisional retake course. The huge amounts of DracoInLeatherPants treatment Endeavor receives, along with the RonTheDeathEater treatment [[UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming his wife and children]] receives, makes the possibility of a down to earth discussion even slimmer. Things such as whether he should be arrested, should his actions be made public, should his wife and Todoroki forgive him, does he deserves redemption, whether he can be considered evil, etc. are all questions that have evenly split the fandom between those that think the manga is not dealing with such a mature theme as "Should you forgive your abusers?" properly (or shouldn't deal with it at all) and those that think the manga is doing an amazing job and hope that Endeavor gets forgiveness or peace of mind for becoming TheAtoner. It becomes problematic enough that, by the end of the Pro Hero Arc, some of Endeavor's detractors actually started sending death threats to Horikoshi on Website/{{Tumblr}}.

[[folder:Characters]]
* Shigaraki. Some like him for how [[CreepyAwesome creepy]] he is, while others find his [[PsychopathicManchild childish behavior]] [[{{Narm}} hard to]] [[NightmareRetardant take seriously]]. Not helping matters is that Stain became more popular than him, and he was only a brief ArcVillain.
* Endeavor. While he is presented as an AbusiveParent and HateSink, he still managed to get fans for EvilIsCool and EvilIsSexy reasons. The fact that he received a redemption arc sparked some heavy battles between those who feel that the manga shouldn't be able to apologize for someone who had severely abused his family for years on end, and those who like the idea that Endeavor is portrayed as a three-dimensional character who acknowledges his own monstrosities. [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement These debates got very heated]]. It should be noted that this mindset is mainly featured in West.
* Stain. Originally an EnsembleDarkhorse for the beloved arc he debuted in and for presenting some [[StrawmanHasAPoint valid criticisms of hero society]], Stain began to fall out of favor with a significant swathe of the fanbase after a deeper introspection of both his character and ideals. Supporters view him as an EvilIsCool character that raised some valid issues and was right in some of his beliefs, as the narrative itself supports. Detractors, however, consider him a massive {{hypocrite}} with little ground to stand on, and that the narrative vindicating some of his beliefs comes across as absurd. There is little leeway in viewing him. One of the biggest factors behind his divisive nature is his ideology, detailed in BrokenBase.
* Eri. Some dislike her because they believe that she serves much more as a plot device than an actual character, while others like her for being an adorable {{Woobie}}. The other issue is that her power is [[RetGone essentially able to undo anything]], meaning that she endangers the plot's drama by showing a capacity of undoing All Might's injuries and [[spoiler:Mirio's lost Quirk]]. Her fans, however, point out that this has been already taken care of in the sense that she was shown to not be able to use it properly and is dangerous to train her to even use it, considering her power has to affect living things.

* Reactions to Uraraka developing a crush on Midoriya are mixed, with those that are against it stating that it has caused her to become DemotedToSatelliteLoveInterest. Not helping matters is that out of all the main characters, she's the only one that has yet to have ADayInTheLimelight arc. However, some defend it because once Uraraka had her LoveEpiphany, she decided that either LoveIsAWeakness or that while Midoriya is nice, she has her own goals to work towards. As the series continues and Uraraka began to slowly drip OutOfFocus, detractors began writing her off as a lost cause and claiming she's been DemotedToSatelliteLoveInterest, while supporters argue she has still had small appearences from time to time, with very few focusing on her feelings for Midoriya but rather more on her motivations.
* Horikoshi's handling of the female characters. One party believes Horikoshi to be doing amazing in showing the female cast, giving them equal focus as the male characters while also allowing them each a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome on a regular basis, considering it a rarity for most shonen, and even having female characters that aren't necessarily waifish, with different body types being among the cast. Another party believes Horikoshi is wasting the female cast's potential, and that the male characters take up the spotlight while the females stay in the background. A third party believes that while Horikoshi is doing better than most, the girls are still outshined by the guys.
** The questionably mature art of the main Class 1-A girls. Some fans don't like the art because they feel that it "sexualizes teenagers." Others, however, appreciate the fanservice and are quick to call out these people for "stirring up trouble," or "witchhunting."
* The nature of Hero Society, and what constitutes as right and wrong, the topic of debate heavily tied into the nature of ToBeLawfulOrGood. The Hero Society is shown to allow anyone to attain licences to be heroes and help people, at the cost of criminalizing individuals who attempt to help without proper licensing. Several instances in which characters perform heroic acts end with them nearly getting into legal trouble for doing so without permission, including Midoriya attempting to save Bakugou from the Slime Villain, Midoriya, Todoroki, and Iida's apprehending of Stain, and the Bakugou Rescue Squad's successful retrieval of Bakugou. Vigilantes in particular are treated as lawbreakers, in spite of their existence being the origin of Hero Society.
** Supporters point out that this is, at worst, a NecessaryEvil so that Quirk usage doesn't run wild and so people without the proper training don't get hurt.
** Detractors however point out that punishing individuals for accomplishing things neither law enforcement nor heroes could manage to do is extremely idiotic, and does nothing more than enforce complacency as they are forced to do nothing but wait for a licensed hero, something heavily hinted in series to be part of the reason Shigaraki turned out the way he did.
** Not helping matters is the seeming {{hypocri|te}}sy behind some of the decisions made, such as the near threat of expulsion for most of 1-A for their part in saving Bakugou, or the near arresting of Midoriya, Iida, and Todoroki for apprehending Stain unlicensed, despite both situations being what they're being trained to stop.
*** Defenders of the society point out that for all intents and purposes, the students broke the law, and shouldn't be given leeway just for having good intentions.
*** Detractors however note that had said actions not been performed, the situations would have turned out much worse, and punishing them flies in the face of one of the core themes of the series, being a hero means sticking your nose where it doesn't belong, in this case, outside the law.
* Stain's ideology. While originally [[StrawmanHasAPoint near unanimously agreed on]], as the series continued and a deeper analysis of his ideals was made, Stain's ideology became a heavy topic of debate:
** Like Stain himself, defenders believe in the ideology, noting the hero ranking system has led to many heroes being focused more on competing rather than on saving people, and that this environment is what bred heroes like Endeavor[[note]]Whose drive to surpass All Might led to him engaging in a [[ArrangedMarriage Quirk Marriage]], and the abuse of both his wife and children.[[/note]], while also pointing out that both Midoriya and Iida note that his ideals were justified, it was just his actions that made him reprehensible.
** Detractors point out that Stain's ideals disregard the fact that hero work is a legitimate occupation, and as such to not expect a form of income would be unusual, and just like firefighters, police officers, and soldiers, heroes can save people and still be rewarded.
*** Under Stain's own ideals, anyone short of All Might himself and those that aspire to be like him such as Midoriya would be incapable of meeting his standards.[[note]]This was demonstrated by his attacking of the original Ingenium, who for all intents and purposes was a good hero and person yet was still attacked by Stain, the only indication that he did not fit Stain's standards being from the ''[[Manga/VigilanteMyHeroAcademiaIllegals Illegals]]'' series where he performed a commercial shoot.[[/note]]
*** Stain is also called a {{hypocrite}} due to not meeting his own standards, as his time as [[Manga/VigilanteMyHeroAcademiaIllegals Stendhal]] proves, during which he resorted to working with the Villain Factory's Kuin, and routinely murdered villains as a vigilante. Add his rejection of Iida's acknowledgement that Stain was right leading into a VillainousBreakdown, it paints Stain more as a {{hypocrite}} drowning in BlackAndWhiteInsanity.
*** Not helping matters is that his actions damage his own cause, as whereas All Might tried to promote justice and peace, Stain's actions promoted fear and chaos.
*** Finally, his desire for the "heroes of old" comes across as reckless romanticism and a blatant disregard for the reality of the world he lives in: the worldwide prevalence of Quirks means that heroic intervention is an everyday necessity, not the rare, extraordinary event that it was in the pre-Quirk days. He is essentially asking that a regulated, organized, self-perpetuating infrastructure of highly-trained specialists be replaced by widespread vigilantism.
