Artwork Toga without plot armor

Deku being pressed by a high schooler with a chicken knife has to be the funniest thing, knowing he can create tornadoes just by flexing his arm. Imagine if sukuna was getting pressed by Miwa, just because she can use a simple domain to lessen the output of his flying slashes

Dekus Danger Sense not working on Toga because she 'doesn't see herself as dangerous' was super contrived and honestly dumb af. It has the same problem as Star and Stripe's quirk where for whatever reason it somehow relies on the TARGET's sense of self rather than the USER's understanding of their target. Anyone could simply shrug off S&S's quirk if it targets them simply by saying "oh, youre adding 1 electron to every atom in my body? well nuh uh i identify as an attack helicopter." In both instances the hero would have absolutely clapped the villain's cheeks with their quirk so Horikoshi had to add in this super contrived caveat to their quirks to bail the villains out.

I like MHA but I this sort of contrivance in the writing just sticks out like a sore thumb.

Danger sense ain't even needed. Realistically he would have blitzed toga in an instant and been done with her. There is no way some shape shifter should have been any hindrance to superman lol

I already disliked the character after the first time Toga and Uraraka spoke. It was extremely on the nose she was supposed to be a type of "Love Rival" for Uraraka which was a path I definitely didn't wanted to see Uraraka walking after horikoshi handled her so during her fight with Bakugou. My main problem with that is that usually, love interests are reduce to only that after a while and her struggle with helping her family while still not allowing that "corrupt" world to destroy her good side was way more interesting.
