In My Hero Academia, Izuku Midoriya, or Deku, is going to go through a major transformation. With season six already coming to an end, fans are curious about the status of the pro heroes. The Paranormal Liberation War was a big blow for the pro-heroes, and they needed to regroup after facing the disastrous calamities of the war.
However, Midoriya’s character arc is of particular interest to fans. Midoriya going “rogue” is a big part of season 6. It’s shown that he might be working on his own, as a vigilante, or as a pro hero.
Fans are interested to see if he finds any common ground between the two. However, Vigilante Deku, or Villian Deku, has a fan base of its own. The fact that vigilante Deku is canon has really fired up the cosplayers to put out their versions of vigilante Deku in the cosplay community.
