My Hero Academia fans are patiently waiting for more volumes of the manga and the sixth season of the anime series. The beloved franchise has cultivated a loyal fanbase by featuring epic storylines, moving character arcs, and a really cool power system.
My Hero Academia has a lovable and charming cast of characters, which includes the altruistic protagonist Izuku Midoriya and the quirky mentor All Might. However, not every character in the manga and anime series has been able to capture the hearts of the franchise's fans. On that note, users on Reddit have voiced out which My Hero Academia characters they least liked.
Hitoshi Shinso
My Hero Academia doesn't solely focus on the adventures of Class 1-A. Hitoshi Shinso, a student from Class 1-C, has also played a significant role in many of the series' arcs, such as the U.A. Sports Festival Arc and Joint Training Arc. Hitoshi's Quirk is Brainwashing, allowing him to control other people as long as the victim verbally responds to him.
Hitoshi has gained popularity amongst fans of My Hero Academia due to his character development. However, Redditor Jantripp says that they haven't seen Shindo do anything "interesting enough as a character to warrant the popularity". Despite that, it seems that Hitoshi's mysteriousness implies that he could become an important character in the series' future arcs.
Tsuyu Asui
Tsuyu Asui is one of the more popular characters from My Hero Academia and some fans would even love to be friends with her. Her Quirk allows her to gain frog-like abilities, such as an elongated tongue, aquatic adaptation, and powerful limbs. She's beloved by fans of the series for her keen intellect and unique design.
However, not everyone is a fan of Tsuyu. On Reddit, joelwar27 notes that they feel that Tsuyu is a character that's "being forced onto the spotlight" and they don't understand why Tsuyu gets a lot of screen time. But in the series, Tsuyu proves that she deserves to be a key figure thanks to her levelheaded personality and cleverness.
Shuichi Iguchi
Shuichi Iguchi, also known by his villain name Spinner, is one of the nine lieutenants of the Paranormal Liberation Front. He's also associated with the League of Villains and served under Tomura Shigaraki. Spinner's Quirk makes him look like a lizard and allows him to stick to walls.
While his Quirk is arguably insignificant, Spinner proves his worth by having superior fighting abilities. His Quirk isn't anything special, and Redditor Renekin says that they "do not enjoy his character" and his design. They also think that he's trying hard to be a knock-off of the villain Stain.
Minoru Mineta
Minoru Mineta is one of the U.A. students from Class 1-A. The spheres on top of his head can be pulled off and stick to anything it touches, except Mineta. He can use his Quirk to trap enemies, shield himself from danger, and scale tall surfaces.
Mineta doesn't really have a lot of fans due to his perverted and immature personality. On Reddit, RISING admits that they find Mineta "annoying". What's more, he's one of the least brave characters in My Hero Academia as he tends to panic and bail during a fight.
Chizome Akaguro
Also known as Stain, Chizome Akaguro is a vigilante-turned-villain who aims to weed out the false heroes in society. His ideology stems from the belief that almost all heroes are only doing it for the money and the fame. Aside from having superhuman speed and strength, Stain can also paralyze someone by simply tasting their blood.
Stain sought to obliterate anyone who he thought wasn't worthy of being called a hero. Redditor adarsh_NG noticed this too, and said that despite being a "great villain with his own twisted goals", Stain didn't have the right to indiscriminately kill heroes.
Inasa Yoarashi
Inasa Yoarashi is a student from Shiketsu High School who faced U.A. High School's Class 1-A during the Provisional Hero License Exam. His Quirk allows him to control the wind and use it to attack his enemies. He's capable of flying thanks to his Quirk.
On the surface, Inasa is a cheerful, friendly, and energetic student who just wants to make friends. However, it is soon revealed that he detests heroes who are filled with hatred, due to a previous experience with Endeavor and his son Shoto Todoroki. In a Reddit thread, ElectroDragonfly says they "didn't like Inasa either" and don't understand why he was so pressed with Shoto.
Koji Koda
Class 1-A has plenty of students who have interesting and useful Quirks. Koji Koda, for one, is able to communicate and command animals. Koji is a shy and quiet student, so much so that he prefers talking to his classmates using sign language. While he can talk to all animals, Koji is deathly afraid of bugs, but he is ready to set his fear aside to help his classmates.
However, NinjaristicNinja on Reddit thinks that "the guy with the Quirk that lets him talk to animals" hasn't "done anything particularly amazing" that they didn't even bother to learn his name.
Yuga Aoyama
One of the students in class 1-A, Yuga Aoyama is working his way towards becoming a professional hero using his Quirk, which allows him to shoot a powerful laser from his navel. Viewers of the show have a good reason to hate Yuga, as it was recently revealed that he was the notorious U.A. traitor.
Some fans might think that Yuga is an underrated Class 1-A student, but he was mostly unable to use his Quirk as he was born Quirk-less and was only given powers by All For One. Redditor MetaGigaTheFirst writes that Yuga is also a coward and the "most vain character" in the series.
Enji Todoroki
Most known by his professional hero name, Endeavor, Enji Todoroki is Shoto Todoroki's cruel father who is the current No. 1 Hero in the My Hero Academia universe. Aside from his superhuman strength, intellect, and stamina, Endeavor can also shoot extremely powerful blasts of flame.
While he may have snatched the title No. 1 Hero from All Might, Endeavor is feared and not well-liked by the people. Reddit user Crystal_Star07 comments that they have not seen Endeavor's "redemption arc" while also noting that they "could change".
Kaina Tsutsumi
Kaina Tsutsumi, also known as Lady Nagant, is a villain who was freed from the supervillain prison Tartarus. Lady Nagant's Quirk allows her to form a rifle from her arm and fire various types of bullets. Lady Nagant's formidable Quirk is further enhanced by her raw skills in assassination and close combat.
Lady Nagant is a former hero who has decided to help All For One as he aligns more with her new belief that the hero society is extremely flawed. That said, user ResponsibleWall9372 says in a Reddit post that they dislike Lady Nagant for her motives and beliefs that "make no sense".
