In My Hero Academia, 'Deku' is originally a nickname meant to insult Izuku Midoriya, implying that he's useless or can't do anything. However, Izuku embraces it and turns it into a symbol of perseverance and heroism!

It's a nickname given to him by Bakugo to mock his lack of powers, but Izuku flips the script and owns it!

Deku means 'useless' or 'can't do anything' in Japanese, but Izuku takes it on as a badge of pride and proves everyone wrong.
