Which is still just "Deku". As much as I love BNHA, really? Dude's literally going to make his hero name "Person Who Can't Do Anything"? I don't care how he and Ochako choose to reinterpret it, that is still a really lovely superhero name. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 19:55 on Dec 17, 2016 |

Deku is not Japanese for "person who can't do anything"

I hope they get through Stain just because it means we'll be that much closer to All Might vs All for One, which is the fight I want to see animated the most.

The next season going up through Stain would be good for it; the pacing of season 1 was goddamn glacial except for the last couple episodes. If they didn't feel the need to reproduce every single reaction shot from the comic they'd free up about five minutes an episode.

It's probably why Ochako thinks the word has the vibe of someone who never gives up at least. Bakugou just changed the Kanji readings in Izuku's name to it because it can also mean "fool". So it's basically a lovely kanji pun, kinda a reach there Bakugou.

I'm not sure a word that's written in katakana has a literal translation from Japanese, seeing as katakana is for foreign words, words meant to be read phonetically without any meaning, and sound effects. I'm also not very sure the userbase of Wikia has the greatest grasp on nihongo. Like, it was just little Bakugo loving with Deku and saying it meant that because he learned how to read kanji and decided to give him a dumb nickname. Likewise, Deku making it his hero name is him both owning up to and surpassing his quirkless past by taking back said lovely nickname and again, owning it.

The "meaning" entirely comes just from Bakugou going "Hey did you know the 出 in your name can also be read as "De" instead of "Izu". I'm so good at reading Kanji, and you aren't. So I'm going to call you Deku, the guy that can't do anything." He just changed the reading of the character, not the meaning.

Actual dictionary reference. I've never heard of it, but apparently, Deku can mean good-for-nothing. Waffleman, katakana can just be used for more than what you listed. It can be used for emphasis, like all caps. Shouldn't read too much into something being written in katakana.

I think Naruto would do the same "use katakana for character names so they stick out" thing, but the meanings would still remain.

I'm finally getting around to watching the dub, and I didn't think I'd like Katsuki's voice at first, but it's really growing on me. (And Chris Sabat is always great.)

Changing the subject, did the chapter get leaked this week or is it on break or what? Usually, I have to stop reading the thread about Thursday until my issue of WSJ comes in.

To be fair, the dictionary I used didn't have a listing for deku, at least not using katakana. So I just posted what I found and hoped someone could bridge the gap, which someone did. And to be fair to Google Translate, Bing is even worse.

He has also displayed several heroic characteristics found in All Might himself: he is confident, self-assured, someone the people can look up to and declare their savior.

I can't believe All Might's out of the top 5.  Was expecting Shigaraki to get more of a boost as well, and i'm surprised All for One isn't up there at all. I'm happy my fav dude Iida didn't drop any though, even if he deserves to be a higher rank.

I don't need Bakugou and Deku being best buds but having some respect for each other as more or less equals (so not Deku's combination of wimpy idolization and fear) would be great for their characters. Bakugou showing he actually has emotions other than extreme self confidence and anger was nice
