The truth behind the hatred of Mineta in My Hero Academia (Boku no Hero Academia)
We know that Minoru Mineta is one of the least loved characters in My Hero Academia. In fact, the latest popularity poll leaves him well below the majority of protagonists, it is the 29th place among all the characters. That is to say, he is surpassed by heroes and heroines who are no longer even alive, but what is the reason for this repudiation of his image?
First, it has to be mentioned that Mineta “is a comic relief”, she doesn’t have any of the positive attributes of other comic characters like Eijiro Kirishima or Iida Tenya. It is then that the funny side of her comedy is non-existent: “He harasses women, and then?”. The funniest thing about Mineta is her appearance, she looks like a purple baby with balls for a mohawk and an oversized metallic diaper wrapped around her waist, but once the initial shock of her ridiculous outfit wears off, there’s not much else. fun in it.
As we mentioned before, most of his jokes are directed at women and their sexual fantasiesan issue that has been criticized by the art academy, who mention that this type of “jokes” encourages the harassment suffered by women within the anime community, especially cosplayers. Another point is that Mineta’s jokes never change, if at any point they make you laugh, the repetition of her makes you lose the emotion quickly.
This has led to his character becoming irrelevant to the main plot. Removing Mineta from My Hero Academia wouldn’t change the current development of the final arc at all and might even make the show more enjoyable. There are characters that outshine Mineta in every metric of what makes a good character.
