>On another note, how the fuck did Mineta even get into UA?
a better question is how the fuck did Izuku lose to EVERYONE in the physical fitness exam?
I know that Hori wanted Deku to be an but there is no way that Hagakure is more physically fit than him cause her quirk would be no help in any of the exercises and he had OfA to help with the ball throw, now, if Horikoshi hadn't been a coward and revealed her to be a pretty, muscular girl, then it'd be easier to suspend disbelief, but we know that's she's just average
Kouda, Kaminari, Jiro, Ashido and Mineta don't make any sense either, sure, some of their quirks are useful, but for the physical tests we see, there isn't a lot of ways their quirks could have helped them, and so they would have simply had to have been better than Deku despite him training under All Might for nearly a year straight, Kirishima and Ojiro also have quirks that don't seem like they'd give them a lot of help, but we can assume that they simply trained, which we can't assume from the others
Uraraka is the only one who kind of makes sense because of her infinity throw, but we also see in the 100m dash that, even when she makes all her clothing weightless, she's still not as fast as Deku, so we can assume she's overall weaker than him
honestly there are so many problems with 1A that could have easily been fixed, one of them was if Hori just let Aizawa actually be the hardass he was initially advertized as and let him expel some students, juggling 20 characters and keeping them relevant and interesting would be a challenge for a veteran mangaka, he should have had the 20 students, then had Aizawa slowly separate the wheat from the chaff, or, show more of that idea of UA being an exclusive school and just not letting 20 students into a class, have it be a weird number to show that they only choose who they think can make it, instead of going by whether or not a specific number of students crossed a standardized threshold
