@ Inoue211  I don't think it's matter of self-inserting it's a matter of he's (realistically) an idiotic person. Anyone filled with so much pride that they are willing to throw away their entire dream for some pride is a fool. I mean think about it, you have profound talent and you want to put that toward being a great hero and the heroes acknowledge your talent. Why would you risk a sure thing like that? because deku is beneath you? so what. if he's so beneath you, why would you care so much? it's not like Katsuki refuses to acknowledge people beneath him because he acknowledges both  Ochako and Eijirou, students leagues below him. Anyone with half a brain would figure out "hey this person who was beneath me is catching up. Maybe I should stop obsessing over this person and devote my time to improving so they can't catch up" but Katsuki would rather his dreams be destroyed than to come to that conclusion. Now that i think about it, realisically someone like Katsuki would have been locked away in a psych ward pretty early on.

He reminds me of something my football couch told me growing up; Never look back when your running because you go where your focus is.

EDIT: I should point out that although i find his personality unbearable when i think about him logistically, I do appreciate him as a character. I'm interested in how they will utilize him in the story and I can appreciate that they made a rival whose straight up (as of now) just an unrelenting piece of shit instead of "he's the rival but he secretely has a heart of pure gold" trope. While I do think they will eventually soften him up and make him more humble, logically, compassionate yadda yadda, I am intrigued at the direction they are taking with him.

also points for the dbz pun
