Talk:Izuku Midoriya

Shoot Style
Can we change the layout the Quirks section so that 'Shoot Style' is added in as a bullet point beneath One For All Full Cowl? Since move is derived from the Full Cowl / is a part of the full cowl, it makes sense to put it under there.

Yes, that sounds reasonable. I've made the change. Also, I added it now, but please remember to always start a new subject on a talk page with a header, as stated on the guidelines above. 01:57, July 31, 2016 (UTC)

Izukus Age
Hey just wanted to point out that Izuku turned 16 over the summer

In regards to his Delaware Smash: it says that he can use it 10 times but it breaks both his thumb and the finger he flicks with so he can really only use it twice.

Character Book Stats
Why have Deku's stats been changed from the original Character Book from April 2016? It looks as though he's gotten an upgrade in power, speed, and intellect, although I don't recall there being an update.

For comparison, these are his stats from a scanned page of the data book from last year.

 Kot blini (talk) 01:47, May 4, 2017 (UTC)

i think his power should be upped because of all the training he did. when he was training he lifted 6 times the average 23 yr old. THATS RIDICULOUS. also inteligence should be raised to 5. he can recall pages in a book, has insane vision, so much so he can notice every little thing done by someone in a battle, even their footstance. I think his intelligence and power need to be raised now

Izuku's page

can someone fix the Izuku midoriya page?

Simple Astrological Reading for Izuku Midoriya
I thought this would be interesting to include because astrology and blood type are popular bits of trivia in Japan. I wanted to know if his natal chart was true to his character, and I was not disappointed :)


 * Houses are not specified because time of birth is unknown.

7/15/02

(I am going by the current year because I could not find the setting specified anywhere. Please let me know if I'm wrong!)

SUN - CANCER

He is sensitive to the feelings of others. Imagination becomes a refuge from harsh realities. Capable of unifying diverse groups of people. Achieves great success due to sheer luck, but must put in great effort to maintain it.

MOON - VIRGO

He treasures and protects all that makes him feel comfortable. Strives to organize his surroundings, information, and emotions. Wants to be useful. Attracts many sincere friends who offer help. Enjoys collecting.

MERCURY - CANCER

Noble and righteous. His gentle manner is not to be mistaken for weakness.

VENUS - VIRGO

Too calculating in love; fears burning passions as they cannot be organized or calculated. Great self-discipline. Devoted to friends and unwavering against opponents. This degree feels influence from Mars, indicating he will find success after numerous struggles.

MARS - LEO

Stubborn, but great capacity for heroism. Acts according to his own rules and has a competitive spirit. Never backs down from obstacles. Generous but impulsive.

JUPITER - CANCER

Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, meaning his influence is greater. Optimism and imagination are amplified. Blessed in matters of the family and the home. Intelligent, obliging, and determined. Under a good mentor, flexibility, perseverance, and diligence become his greatest assets.

SATURN - GEMINI

Great practical sense. Earns the gratitude of those he helps. Must never hesitate to meet injustice with cowardice and neutrality rather than fighting spirit.

URANUS - AQUARIUS (R)

Attracted to whimsical ideas of revolution and justice. May have struck bad luck with a societal system and had opportunities taken from him.

NEPTUNE - AQUARIUS (R)

Finds success in the crazy and daring. Inspired by friends and family. Responds efficiently to situations even when taken by surprise.

Trivia Section
Are the comparisons to X Shonen Protagonist and Sky High necessary? Oberon9 (talk) 13:26, November 28, 2018 (UTC) Oberon9

No. Those are fan discussion thread material. unless it is a direct reference or allusion that can be traced directly to it, there is no need for it. According to this fandom's guidelines, fan speculation is not allowed. neither are fan names for something. Which brings to question the name of Dabi's quirk should just be dabi's quirk unless otherwise stated to be Cremation or Hellflame. fan speculation is just making stuff up. even if right in the future, it is not right at the moment of official english release. Lygarx (talk) 01:48, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Just a small note on Izuku's nickname Deku. Horikoshi stated the name came from the poem Ame ni mo makezu ("Be Not Defeated by the Rain"). Feel free to add that to the trivia section section if needed.Greatsong1 (talk) 16:35, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

New power update ch 210
Not going to even add that yet until we know the full extent of the ability and it is named. I hope you will not go into an editing warLygarx (talk) 10:25, December 21, 2018 (UTC)

List of Quirks in sidebar
Since Izuku's shown that he can use Blackwhip, which is technically a separate Quirk from One for All, should it be added under One for All as part of his Quirks in the bio thing at the top of the page?

OriginalOk (talk) 21:13, June 15, 2020 (UTC)

In the chapter 275,we learn that Izuku can use OFA Full Cowl at maximum 30%,but at the moment of the impact,he pushes it to 45%,so in clear:

-Full Cowl=30%

-OFA "normal"=45%

So that's why i did the change,but someone erase it and just rewrite the wrong thing.So please be gentle and read the manga before do thing...And not one time!

The part above is not written by the next signer A reminder to have 4 consecutive '~' at the end of talks Previously and in the current anime arc, His limits had a normal range of about 8 percent of continuous usage and an upper limit of 20 percent that would cause strain but not injury. After start of the paranormal liberation war arc, it has a regular usage 30 percent and upper limit with strain at 45 percent as described by whoever wrote the discussion previously. While he wont be injured when using it, he will experience some strain. Prior to the Shie Hassaikai Arc, description of Izuku's percentage limits had only one number as a set maximum Safety percentage allowed for Full Cowl. Such as 5 percent when initially developed and 8 percent during his fight with katsuki. A singular set number. after the Shie Hassaikai arc, the quirk usage limits are described with two different sets of numbers. One for free continual usage and another for quick bursts that would cause strain, but not injury if used for too long. history of limits are added with the arc/battle when told to the readers. so that we can trace it back and re-read. Second paragraph of Section Powers and Abilities, sub-section Quirks is the current place for current limits. Progression of abilities with a list of changes to percentages for each arc/battle can be found Section Powers and Abilities, sub-section Super Moves item One For All: Full Cowl towards the end of the paragraph. Future progressions will be added at the exact end of the paragraph with a sentence detailing first the Name of either arc or battle, and then new percentages.

Midoriya's Age
He just turned 17 like 2 days ago i think, so shouldn't we change it to 17? SShoto (talk) 01:01, July 17, 2020 (UTC)


 * Age is based of the current timeline of the manga, as he turned 16 in Year 1 that is his age. FirePsychic (talk) 01:05, July 17, 2020 (UTC)

Air Force
For fighting styles we have Deku's long-range style listed as Delaware Smash Air Force. I think it should be changed to just "Air Force", mainly because of St. Louis Smash Air Force. It seems like Air Force it's self is a technique just like Shoot-Style. Deku has used a Shoot-Style St. Louis Smash and a St. Louis Smash Air Force, same move but with a different technique.

I also think grouping it this way will make it easier for when Deku adds new Shoot-Style or Air Force moves cause he may switch between the long-range and close-range variant of said move.

"Vigilante"?
"He is still continuing to do hero work, although illegally, making him a vigilante."

...Doesn't he still have his hero license though? Bc in that case it's technically not illegal

nvm someone removed it

 * Hello, we have decided to not label Midoriya as anything until confirmation to prevent further edit wars.  TheNinjaOnTheTop  (talk) 02:31, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

"Vigilante"?
It still says he's illegally doing Hero work in his Bio. Like what other people have said, I don't think this is a thing. If the Provisional Hero License is anything like a Learner's permit, it would have to be renewed every 6-12 months. He would have gotten it renewed during the Ende Agency Arc if it was 6 months. Meaning he still have a decent amount of time for it to expire.

Speculation shouldn't belong on the Wiki. Deku being a Vigilante is still speculation RN.
 * Hello, we have decided to not list Midoria under any classification until confirmation is given on his occupational status to prevent further edit wars.  TheNinjaOnTheTop  (talk) 02:31, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

He is working with the big three and all might. this is explained in 309 upcoming in the official release. Lygarx (talk) 18:44, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Additional Writings to add to Quirk
Add to the paragraph 4 of Quirk Section which talks about the vestige/echo of previous user consciousness: Can communicate and hear voices outside of the subconscious realm. Chapter 308 a previous user gives him advice mid-combat with muscular about how to use quirk. why this is locked, I do not know. Lygarx (talk) 01:42, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

New Equipment notes. to be added later
What is that cape? it looks like gran torino's. ch 309 add that and 'mid gauntlet' which worked similar to full gauntlet but is an endurance prototype model delivered from overseas. creator not confirmed. although likely to be mellisa, no confirmation so no add obviously. to be added after 309 officially comes out on viz of course. Lygarx (talk) 18:54, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Spelling error: In mid gauntlet equipment, 'tho' should be changed to 'though'. I would change and fix it myself, but unfortunately I don't have the permissions. more work for you admins. Lygarx (talk) 21:15, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Kanji name sections
This isn't about Dekus page specifically, but the pages in general...is there a reason why the kanji and romaji translations of the characters names are listed in the intro at the top of the article, and again in the "Biographical Information" in the infobox? Why twice? Cygne999 (talk)
