How Utilised/underutilised Do You Think Each Member Of 1A Was?

How utilised/underutilised do you think each member of 1A was?

There is not a single character who I think is 100% well utilized and Class A was absolutely shafted in the Final War as an ensemble. All Might usurping their "team effort" into a mecha suit was easily one of the worst decisions the manga could have made. But I can give you a quick run-down on how well I think they were used in order:

Bakugou: Plus - decent character development, some great fight utilization, lots of POV. Minus - became too Deku-centered, which weakened his team narrative.

Shoto: Plus - great own arc, great relationships, good quirk development, good character development. Minus - he needed better fight highlights, not enough POV especially on his victimhood, story waffled the ending of his major relationships

Deku: Plus - very strong start, good fights, lots of strong relationships Minus - no POV, failed theme in Act 3, author lost interest in him clearly

Iida: Plus - very consistent on the themes he represents. Minus - weak connection to main plot, total lack of good fight scenes

Kirishima: Plus - solid arc and fights scenes Minus - sidelined in act 3 and badly utilized in the final arc

Momo: Plus - well utilized until PLF War Minus - sidelined in Act 3

Jirou: Plus - nice little arc, interesting extra hobby tied into the main theme of saving, decent endgame highlight Minus - didn't get enough role in the early story

Tokoyami: Plus - great fight scenes and role, potentially interesting mentor -student relationship - Minus - next to no character work

Uraraka: she was weirdly overused and underused at the same time. A lot of bloated scenes, flip-flopping themes. I found her really irritating pretty much every arc after the sport festival.

Basically, the rest of the class was completely and utterly underused/misused. Without any particular order:

Shoji: the main face of a last-minute mutant arc that had no real build-up. The way Hori used him in the epilogue was also very dishonest

Aoyama: the traitor arc was one of the biggest disappointments of the entire manga. His endgame was mostly treated like a gag. It also highlighted the double standards when it comes to crimes committed by heroes vs crimes by villains.

Kaminari: reduced to a gag character, biggest achievement is one-time lightning rod

Sero: his ability was made redundant by Deku's blackwhip, his big highlight was a stupid speech to AFO and an unearned / unbuilt moment with Shoto.

Mina: she was used to further Kirishima's character and that's about it. Her highlight came too late and felt forced.

Hagakure: objectified the entire time.

Asui: great design and abilities wasted on being Uraraka's sidekick and then the "friendship" completely thrown out the window for Toga.

Ojirou: did he do anything?

Satou: might as well not show up...

Kouda: cool quirk that is used the worst possible way

Mineta: too much panel time for a sex offender.
