If it weren't for All For One's origin I'd feel like MHA is Objectivist propaganda.
I feel in 100 episodes Deku will master All For One and talk about how much of a self made man he is, and how people just need to work harder to be Number 1.
It's kind of asinine that Deku suggests everyone is striving to be Number 1. I sincerely doubt that. Like there's literally no way someone like "tape elbow" dude or "frog girl" could seriously think they can compete with Deku/Todoroki/Bakugo. If they truly are striving to become Number 1 they are striving in vain. The nature of quirks makes society so inherently unequal that its laughable how often the narrative seems to suggest "JUST WORK HARD" is enough to become a contender for Number 1.
