Izuko will never be a real superhero. He doesn't have any pathos or struggle:
* He doesn't have a personal tragedy and sacrificing his private life that Spiderman has, actually he only gains more friends for having super powers and being a hero.
* He doesn't need to face prejudice for who he is like the X-Men, actually he is now in a higher social caste with super powers.
* He doesn't need to live in a world of cardboard like Superman or watch corruption because he binds himself to laws, actually he only is rewarded whenever he uses his full strength.
* He doesn't have villains that play on his past and scars like Batman, he just does friendship no jutsu.
* He isn't a self made superhero like Iron Man, he got the powers for no real sacrifice of his own.

He is the isekai version of a superhero.

Superheroes are the jujuest goyslop capeshit entertainment so that is a backhanded compliment I guess.

Invented as slop propaganda for goys. Even the pokeymans and starwarsfags needed a kid to bully I guess.

Youjo Senki first episode was released. It's probably the most interesting isekai left due to not having any real final goal. Tanya can be as strong as she wants, still won't save her country from its own retardation. It still suffers from the main character and her squad being ridiculously OP, but at least it's funny she straight up in the "hope I won't get executed when we lose" phase.

I'm happy they still have the ugly ass art style, though they do reference the LN art in the ending scene.

To be fair superheroes nowadays are the most privileged motherfuckers out there, the X-Men aren't even heroes anymore and every new hero is just some way for artists and writers to virtual singnal because being a hero is less about saving lives and more about coming out as trans. I dont even think Peter saves in single person in the new Spiderman book he's too busy trying to get some yellow girl pussy.

My opinion is that when superheroes were based on Objectivist ideals they were good and interesting for readers of all ages. Nobody likes modern commie heroes that get the government to approve their actions and are only heroes for in universe diversity quotas.

Literally impossible for Japanese writers today.

What I'd give for an anime with an ending like Escape From LA where the main character just destroys the world to make a point. Modern anime and games bitching about issues and then cucking out on implementing changes really ruins their whole point.
