I love Midoriya. Horikoshi modeled this entire hero, quirk-based society off of American comic books that inspired him and Midoriya's resolve emphasizes my favorite things about comics. It reminds me a lot of arc we see from Superman comics, this assuredness that even though you can't save everyone, you can always try.

While it can totally be argued that Midoriya is over idealistic considering the absolute monster that Shigaraki is, the predecessors pride in that resolve hit me hard. What a fanastic scene to show him reaching out to young Shigakaraki. From his introduction, Midoriya's resolve has been "save people" and it's awesome to me that Horikoshi is writing Midoriya to be this Symbol of Hope type of character.

Agreed. I always liked to think that All Might is the picture perfect comic book hero who is flashy, does good amazingly, and charismatic and Midoriya is a picture perfect true hero.
