[So...Deku, who apparently has resented him so much that he kept the secret of his quirk for over a decade so he could shove it in his face later. Deku, pathetic as he is, somehow having the heroic qualities that Katsuki lacks. It's definitely not the same direction as Weiss is implying, but it's how he views the world.
He was never good enough.]
What motivated you to stay strong?

What motivated you to stay strong?
I was City Guardian when it happened to me. A lot of people were dragged into it, and people were trying to help, trying to say the right thing to make it all better for those of us who went through that. I was scared and made a decision based on that, and everyone thought I had taken a step forward because they misunderstood those intentions.
It took me a while to understand why people thought that I wasn't finding a way to protect myself but being strong. It's because they needed me to be strong. They needed someone to say that nothing was alright, but that doesn't mean the world stops because of it. People depend on heroes to remind them why they need to keep trying- because every day is a step forward, no matter how awful things get.
I'm strong because the people who need a reason to be strong need me to prove I can. I'm strong because I want to show people that even if you can't see tomorrow, it's still there, no matter what's blinding you to it. Even if it took a lot of time and a lot of understanding from people who care about me to realize that.

You sound like him.
[It really pisses him off. No matter how strong he is, no matter how many villains he may defeat, he'll never be able to grasp that. It's the one quality of a hero he lacks, and he hates people who don't for it.]

Like All Might. Reassuring people no matter what.
I use my brain, and I'm strong, which is why I won't have to work with others. That's a sign of weakness.
Strength isn't just physical.

I don't. Strategy and skill are equally important.
