Minoru Mineta, aspiring hero of My hero academia and a great lover of the female body, he is one of those characters that you have never paid much attention to in the work of Kohei Horikoshi. From the first to the fourth season Mineta collapsed in popularity polls and nobody seems to appreciate him: what is his problem then?
Writer Khoei Horikoshi never said much about the character who, according to some, would have been included in the series just for justify some fan service. This theory seems to be borne out by the hero’s behavior, who played during the anime’s four seasons (and the manga’s nearly 300 chapters) he managed to attract the antipathy of a large part of the fan base.
Mineta has never shown that he has the true potential to become a hero, and the numbers in the official character book confirm it Much below average strength and speed. In addition, the same book shows that the aspiring hero has placed among the last of the class several times and that he did not get any notable results in the various tests. As you can see below, a long time ago Quite a few fans even asked for his exclusion from the class.
Despite the collapse of the polls, which went from the eighteenth to the forty-fifth in two and a half years, The aspiring hero is still very popular in Japanwhere fan service and comedy clips are more popular in general.
Mineta, Koda and Toru are undoubtedly the least charismatic heroes of 1-A, but it seems that Horikoshi is trying to improve the situation, at least in relation to the first one. In addition, the aspiring hero himself played a central role in the final fight featured in the My Hero Academia manga thanks to his quirk.
