"Deku needs to learn that he can't save everyone" - a few of people apparently

So
A Deku thread of some sorts

So I think we can all agree that both Bkg and Dk admire All Might. But they each admired different aspects of All Might's heroism. Bkg admiring how All Might always wins and Deku admiring how he saves people.

Jumping to the start and first few arcs of the story, I bet some of us took a look at the walking blonde loud asf boy and listened to how he stated that he admires how AM wins. And we went "well that's no good, heroes shouldn't be obsessed about winning-"

"-someone needs to teach him that" and that's not entirely wrong, he did need to learn that.
But what happens is not a case of 'he needs to drop his obsession with winning' but what Hori did was this.

AM says that he too, shares this love for winning. Meaning it's not a bad trait to have, having the need to win pushes you to do better. That's what makes Bakugou one of the halves in class 1a, that push them foward as Aizawa says during the license exam.

This imo isn't much different to Deku's situation.

Just like Bkg harbouring this need to win, the need to get the undisputable victory, even if he has to break himself to do so. Deku feels the same way about saving people.

Deku's need to save people, even at the expense of his health. Imo doesn't stem from a lack in self worth. Deku cares about himself, he's confident that he'll be a great hero and is working hard for it.

Yknow it's funny, how he gets told by his idol that he can't be a hero. And still runs in to save Bakugou from the sludge villian, just goes to show how much of a natural hero he's ALWAYS been. And how natural the need to save people is. If even that person was his bully.

Back on track, just like how Bakugou's need to win wasn't dropped, Deku's need to save everyone won't be dropped either, because it's not a bad trait to have. It's what convinced All Might to pick him and it's what makes him one of the halves that pushes the class.

Now the criticised part of this trait, is his self sacrificial..-ness?. Him breaking his bones, (permanently??) in this arc and now being hospitalised will obviously be a big consequence.

But telling Midoriya things like "stop being reckless" "don't break yo bones pls" is useless because he's been told this before. But I think the way to have him not force himself to break his bones and "put himself into account more" is this

Just like how Midoriya told Bakugo to not give up on winning, and convinced him to work WITH him to win the final exam. Midoriya, I think, needs to be told the same thing, he needs to not do it alone.

The need the save everyone, is what makes Midoriya special, whether it's saving his bully, Kota (who punched him inthenuts), or even... shigaraki. And I think that's going to be the main thing that is going to change society, because these villians needed that helping hand before

All might was alone, he was the sole pillar that held society in place and when he fell, society did too. He said that he can only save people that are in HIS reach. but what if he wasn't the only pillar people relied on? What if he had others that can reach the people he can't?

And I think that's what deku has to learn here, especially with society in crumbles and with heroes retiring. He needs to lean on others. (Especially since it was the Bakugou and todofam team up that got shiggy burnt to a crisp)

So just like how bkg was told that his need to win isn't flawed, just needs to be evolved. The same goes for Deku. With Bkg knowing this lesson personally, knowing deku best and being the one who noticed his traits with concern. Sets up a nice CHAT between the 2

And when Deku does eventually wake up, it's no mistake that's he's gonna feel like his world is falling apart. "I couldn't beat shigaraki and now society is suffering because of it" something along those lines.

Deku might feel like, he's made no progress, may think that AFO was right about him, people getting hurt for him, comparing hismelf to AM. Alot of possiblities for DEKU ANGST

What better person, than the most prominent person in Deku's life, the one who initially put the label of "useless deku" on him and the one who partially views OFA as a concern, to tell him this. Yep, the God of explosions imo should

Because it wasn't OFA or the hero deku that saved Bakugou that day, but the quirkless Deku. And that need to save everyone that Deku has ALWAYS had, is what's gonna be the key to society improving.
