muscularity is not the problem, deku is just a bitch

They didn't. Deku is muscular as well, you just can't tell as much from the clothes he wears. Protagonists even back then weren't always as muscular as Kenshiro or even Jonathan Joestar or Momotaro Tsurugi.

Ask Akira Toriyama.

Overly muscular protagonists in anime/manga was just a thing in the 80s/early 90s due to Hollywood influence.

If you look at media outside of anime it was never a big thing in Japan.

Why do you want to look as muscular and greasy men, user?

Do you mean masculine?

muscle=lala homo men

So OP can self insert.

Deku is muscular but he's not steroid level

Why are people on Any Forums so fucking obsessed with what battle shonen do. You need to be 18 to post on this board.

this

toriyama stopped making goku buff because he tought that body type wasn't "realistic"
i think that's a stupid thing to focus on but whatever

Kek really

I would rather have 100 shounentard threads than a single moepedo thread about some shitty SoL where little girls who look about 8 do stupid shit in a high school

But you losers self insert as cucku more

FPBP

kys

The problem is you fags that hardly read any manga believe that these are the only 2 things that exist.

When muscles got popular with the gays

You first, pedo, at least shounentards realise that what they're watching is lowbrow entertainment, both CGDCT moeshit and generic FOTM shounens are shallow forms of entertainment

Deku is unironically muscular, scar covered dude, it's just that author decided to backpedal on his design, constantly covering him in baggy clothes to keep him looking younger. Which sucks, since while others get to show off their physiques, Deku is stuck wearing baggy jumpsuits, which tanks his design.

because japs don't have muscles.

Not only is Kenshiro an outlier but a lot of Shonen Jump protagonists are muscular. Deku is just a baby that's obsessed with his bully which his muscles won't fix

Deku is actually pretty buff but lean. He's not
on an insane steroid cycle like every other muscle machine from old animes

Has there ever been a manga protagonist that canonically roids?

We are still boys/men, are you a gay or something?
