My Hero Academia Season 6 Part 1 Comes To Blu-ray In December

I must admit, I've found myself quite disheartened by how My Hero Academia has chosen to depict its female characters. Remember Season 1 and the remarkable portrayal of the female lead, Ochaco Uraraka? She was intricately written, displayed depth, and exuded strength.However, as the series progressed, it's as if the creators lost sight of how to fully utilize their female characters. It's disheartening to witness them not being given the opportunities they deserve. In today's day and age, one would expect more progress in this regard.I even took a break from watching the show for a while due to this disappointment. What's truly commendable is how Jujutsu Kaisen handles its female characters. They're not just in the background; they play pivotal roles and are depicted with strength and depth.

It's quite evident that the writer, Kohei Horikoshi, has a particular focus on characters like Deku, Bakugou, and Todoroki. I wouldn't necessarily label it as sexism; instead, it seems to be a preference for highlighting characters that are exceptionally popular, especially in Japan.In Japan, characters like Bakugou, who often embody rival roles and exhibit complex relationships with the main character, tend to resonate strongly with the audience. These dynamics, where they may come across as "bullies" to some, often add layers of depth and tension to the storyline that Japanese viewers appreciate.On the other hand, it's true that in some Western circles, Bakugou's character may not be as well-received due to cultural differences in character expectations. It's fascinating how the same characters can be perceived differently based on cultural contexts.So, while the focus on Deku, Bakugou, and Todoroki may not necessarily be driven by sexism, it does reflect the writer's interest in characters that hold immense popularity, particularly among Japanese viewers. It's all about understanding the cultural nuances that shape our perspectives on these characters
