WHICH ANIME CHARACTER HAD THE ODDS STACKED AGAINST THEM MOST? #blackclover #myheroacademia #naruto

[infernojae]

Note: this isn’t asking who had it the hardest, it’s about who had the least likely chance to accomplish their goal/dream

[claydordrive]

Deku getting one for all from all might is like Elon Musk walking up to you and giving you his entire bank account

[ny]

In Asta's case he was discriminated against as well at all points. I feel he had it harder.


Edit: damn this got famous

[planetearth]

Asta for sure bro LITERALLY had to train since a young child while being discriminated against, while having no power ups until later in his life, and CONSTANTLY being outclassed by his rival in everyday tasks

[themadladhimself]

Deku also had mom who took care of him and access to alot of knowledge and just decided to never hit the gym or make any gadgets to help him achieve his dreams and instead just kinda sat there isolizing heroes

[raiderexisok]

I'd still give it to asta.
Since the power came from a dead ancient elf, modified by a demon, and that demon happened to be only compatible with asta. A litteral, and complete fluke.
Even the witch queen said that he wasnt bestowed with any sort of power, or even chosen at all, its all a complete accident, infact he should have never had it.

Yuno was the favourite kid at the church you cannot tell me otherwise literally no one believed in asta even his own family didn't believe in him i know they love him but it was clear they didn't think he can do it even after getting accepted into the magic knights they still thought it was just a matter of time until he will come back brooo that's just sad 😢 honestly the black bulls were more supportive of asta than his own family

[valkeitos]

Considering what's happening currently in Black Clover, there's a possibility that Asta was always going to get anti-magic. Not to mention Liebe was cared for by Asta's mother and time magic has the power to create the ideal reality. As such it's very much possible that Asta was always going to get anti-magic.

[jdman]

Y’all are forgetting how much asta was discriminated against. Even the peasants saw him as trash he had 0 magic while even the literal homeless and impoverished had at least some magic. The only reason we don’t see him being physically bullied is because he worked his ass of to get stronger meanwhile deku just waited around to eat some of all mights dna (pause). And they’re around the same age at the beginning of they’re stories too so you can’t even say that age was a factor

[EndlessPower]

Asta lives in a world where using magic is something that you do everyday to live whereas Deku lives in a normal world where not having a quirk doesn't impact you outside of jobs that require such quirks. Deku might have been bullied for not having a quirk, but so is a portion of the world without quirks. Asta on the other hand is the only person in the verse as far as we know to not have any mana. Deku getting the powers of the previous number 1 hero got a big advantage towards his goal but Asta debatably got further from his goal of becoming wizard king simply from the fact that he has anti magic. It's also more unlikely for Asta to get his powers in my opinion. Someone without mana cannot get a grimoire since it cannot make a connection with them. Even if it could, the chances of getting a grimoire with 5 leaf clovers on it, meaning that it would've been a 4 leaf clover grimoire that contains a devil inside it is pretty grim. Especially as we see just how rare 4 leaf clovers grimoires are. The devil within the grimoire also had to choose Asta specifically, which can be said to be as rare as All might choosing Deku. The devil chose Asta because of his birth mother who also had a defect that takes away mana from people (probably the reason Asta doesn't have any) and the devil had anti magic so it didn't effect him. Asta gained his powers from his adopted devil brother which somehow escaped from hell, somehow ended up being adopted by someone who negates and absorbs magic, somehow gets sealed inside a very rare 4 leaf clover grimoire, and then somehow chose him out of everyone else.

In mha world it's not only deku who didn't have a quirk which tells how sad u feel when there is no one other than u that can't use magic.

[jaysonburgerson]

Definitely Asta imo, Asta is the only one without magic where 20% don’t have quirks.
Even after they got powers, Deku is guaranteed to become #1. Asta’s power has been described as makeshift/basic compared to other devils like gravity.

[alexjacob]

Deku gaining power was essentially pure luck but because Asta’s devil is practically his brother I wouldnt say the same for him. Though I still think Asta’s starting point was much lower than Deku’s so I’d still give it to Asta

[josueviera]

Even if Asta has anti-magic the weapons he wields are heavy and he has to constantly train his body to keep up the wait, sure you can make the case that deku kinda had the same thing but with deku he just had to start low so his body could keep up with it, Asta also had a devil who was at a time wanting full control over his whole body.

[SoupEmperor]

I'm not sure if I'm remembering right but I think it was said that there was no way anyone but Asta could lift his sword because of how heavy it is, so if he hadn't worked so hard to gain physical power, his own anti-magic would be useless to him.

[TyShark]

Asta. He is known as Humanity’s flaw, he has devil powers, no magic, a commoner and orphan. Does not come from any special blood line, and his rival is the perfect 4 leaf clover user.

[PowerPlayBRoficial]

it is clearly Asta, if you read the manga, Asta has to do the impossible to win against...

[llhky]

Asta have every right to be a villain, his mother who died suddenly came back to live and want to kill him, his sister also got cursed and want to kill him, most sad part is he have no magic

[rannytatu]

why asta is the winner here: 1. he is the only humen in his universe prob with anti-magic
2. one for all power wasnt only for deku, there were more humens with this ower before him
3. all might was searching for someone to give him his one for all power.
4. asta is the only humen who was born with no magic unlike deku who was born quirckless because its only 20% chance.

Honorable mention: Yuji taking multiple L’s and still getting back up. Yuji has so many factors against him.
