History Characters / TalesOfTheDekuverse

The [[AntiHero Anti-Heroic]] {{Deuteragonist}} of the canon series and rival of Izuku Midoriya.

* FantasticAbleism: Is a victim of this since he's the only Quirkless individual while growing up.
* ObliviousToLove: Has a harem in the form of his female classmates as well as Nejire, Setsuna, Hatsume, and Melissa. He has no idea all of them are crushing on him. At the same time, he does show a sort of jealousy and possessiveness in regards to them and their counterparts so it seems he's oblivious to his own feelings as well.

* BornLucky: He's born into wealth, lucked out with his Quirk, talented in academics, athletics, and anything he puts his mind to and was the BigManOnCampus during elementary and middle school. Fittingly, some of his multiversal counterparts in ''MHA watches Death Battle'' are incredibly powerful fighters, and his MCU counterpart in ''Welcome to the MCU'' is '''ComicBook/IronMan'''.

* DarkSecret: Bakugou sees his bullying of Izuku in the past like this. A big part of the drama of the viewings is that he's worried that he will be exposed for his past misdeeds given revelations in the students' lives start coming about from them. [[spoiler:Given the likely ForegoneConclusion of his and Midoriya's past being revealed through the viewings, along how all of their classmates show distaste for bullies, he's right to be afraid.]]

** Izuku's mother Inko is his HonoraryAunt and he holds her in high regard. In fact, it's implied that he's more attached to Inko as an HonoraryAunt than Izuku is to Mitsuki given how Bakugou tends to use "Auntie" when referring to her whereas Izuku leans more to calling Mitsuki "Aunt". The fact that he spent over a decade bullying Izuku in many ways while lying about to Inko only adds more weight to his guilty conscience.

* IHatePastMe: While he had sympathetic reasons for his CruelToBeKind words to Izuku in their first meeting, he later regrets them upon seeing the importance of non-powered, BadassNormal superheroes in the viewings like '''Franchise/{{Batman}}''' in ''MHA Watches Death Battle'' and '''ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}''' in ''Welcome to the MCU'' and how they managed to accomplish feats that make on par with their superpowered peers. Resolving to make it up to his pupil in addition to his poor teaching methods that led to Izuku's DentedIron in his first year at U.A.

* BestFriend: To Izuku Midoriya, moreso than Bakugou. This even applies to their multiversal counterparts in both ''MHA Watches Death Battle'' and ''Welcome to the MCU''.

* AllLovingHero: {{Reconstructed|Trope}}. He'll always save those in need regardless of who they are or what they've done to him or others in the past, but as [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome realistically]] shown in ''Welcome to the MCU'', Izuku is not above lingering resentment and trauma from experiencing such deplorable actions, especially with most of the abuse inflicted from a someone he thought of as a friend. Yet, with an encouraging speech from All Might, Izuku continues to hold steadfast to his forgiving and caring nature, and intends to resolve his issues with Bakugo in the future.

Resolving to make it up to his pupil in addition to his poor teaching methods that led to Izuku's DentedIron in his first year at U.A.

* BestFriend: For Izuku, moreso than Bakugou.

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Izuku's DarkAndTroubledPast gets more [[AdaptationExpansion expanded]] in the fic. His DisappearedDad divorced his mother right after being diagnosed as Quirkless, was physically beaten by Bakugou on a ''near-daily'' basis in addition to verbal insults (leaving many scars hidden away), and is prone to HeroicSelfDeprecation whenever his worth as a hero is indirectly called into question.

* AllLovingHero: He'll always save those in need regardless of who they are or what they've done to him or others in the past.

* TheAtoner: The crux of his character in ''Tales of the Dekuverse''.

* BornUnlucky: He was born Quirkless (the fantastical equivalent of being physically disabled), leading to his father divorcing his mother, and faced horrifical discrimination from his former best friend, peers, and teachers for over a decade before things started for the better on his fateful meeting with All Might. Fittingly, some of his counterparts in ''MHA watches Death Battle'' are permanently [[DeadAlternateCounterpart dead]] while his MCU counterpart in ''Welcome to the MCU'' is '''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'''.

!!!Tropes that applied to him on a whole.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's a NiceGuy cinnamon roll unless you make him angry. Then you get someone who Bakugo and even ''All Might'' who won't want to cross.

--> '''Izuku''' (inner thoughts): 'I'm actually quite surprised with how shitty the universe was to me before All Might, that I didn't have asthma or something.'
* {{Determinator}}: Six words. ''[[BadassBoast I can do this all day.]]''

* SecretKeeper: Bakugou sees his past treatment of Izuku as a DarkSecret to keep hidden and Izuku does his best to help it stay hidden. Izuku's motivation is that Bakugou isn't a BarbaricBully anymor after his CharacterDevelopment and knows that if the past does come out it will ruin Bakugou's chances as a hero and he doesn't feel it fair to do so given that he is no longer the same person that told Izuku to "take a swan dive off the roof".
