This ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia''/''Literature/KonoSuba'' Crossover can be read [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13128750/1/Blessed-with-a-Hero-s-Heart on Fanfiction.net]] and [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/23507812/chapters/56372656 AO3]]. [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/12418823/Delekmaster Delekmaster]] has made a reaction fic for this story with the author's permission titled ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13532892/1/MHA-watches-Blessed-with-a-Hero-s-Heart MHA watches Blessed with a Hero's Heart]]''

!!This Fanfic contains examples of the following tropes:

** The narration indicates that her convincing Izuku to pay the Axis Cult's debts leads to a massive blow against her faith: not only is she forced to go against her own doctrine by erasing Chika and Liza's slave marks, the Axis Cult's head priest goes on the lam with the money, causing their collapse in Axel.

* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Much to the shock of the Cream Cafe [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubi]], Izuku is so pure that they can't even find what kind of girls he likes without magically forcing him to have erotic dreams.

** Befor she leaves Axel with Kyouya, Aqua sets up a divine barrier so she won't have to come back to exorcise the graveyard again any time soon. [[spoiler:Unable to haunt the graveyard, the spirits start haunting other places - including a noble's summer home, causing the man to sell the building, which allows Keel to buy the mansion for himself and his friends. And, since Keel is familiar with Aqua's magic, he can identify her as the cause of the hauntings, putting her and Kyouya in greater trouble.]]

** Izuku gives one to Megumin when she performs Big Bang for the first time, calling her out for almost losing control of the blast's containment field.

* FantasticNuke: Megumin's Big Bang, best described as her trademark Explosion turned up to eleven. The first casting reduced Beldia's castle ''and the cliff it stood on'' to a ''crater'', and the explosion could be heard (and seen) from Axel.

* FluffyTheTerrible: Izuku names his Behemoth "Komoe" in Chapter 18, apparently because Chika and Yunyun considered it "cute" and "adorable" respectively, while Liza considered it "small", so he combined both those kanji to name it.

** Izuku being more cautious and less prone for strange behavior makes it harder for Aqua to take advantage of him. After the first time she asked him for his money so she could buy something important only for her to waste it on alcohol, he kept control of the group's finances and only lets Aqua handle what she has earned. This causes her to resort to other means to fund her vices, which keeps getting her in trouble.
** Kyouya's duel with Izuku becomes the lynchpin for multiple changes: Aqua leaves the party and joins Kyouya's, while he keeps Gram but loses Aela (Fio), leading to [[spoiler:Beldia biting the dust when he comes to Axel after Megumin blows up his fortress with Big Bang, Keel being reincarnated and the fall of Axel's Axis Cult church.]]

** Keel the Lich is a ReasonableAuthorityFigure who is willing to treat with adventurers without issue. The angriest he becomes is (understandably) after Kyouya and Aqua attacked him and destroyed his beloved's mummified body (before he could make his offer of letting them purify him). Even then, the worst he does is to force Dust's adventurer party to collect the body's remains or erase Aqua's seal (which prevents him from doing the collecting himself), and when Izuku solves the issue (by having Megumin use a spell to suck all the ashes into a bag) Keel pays Dust's party quite handsomely just for erasing the seal and offers Izuku a similar reward.

** In the Chapter 11 omake, Kyouya and Aqua's impulsiveness prevents them from getting a huge treasure: the lich they were seeking was actually planning to offer them his treasure in exchange of being purified (as [[ICannotSelfTerminate he cannot kill himself]]), but Kyouya attacked him before he could speak and Aqua doesn't even try to purify the body, ensuring he will eventually return. And then the lich's minions attacked them because they were angry their boss wasn't even given the chance to speak, forcing them to run away.

* HumbleHero: Izuku is this. Even when he does things like [[spoiler:saving Axel from Beldia's army]] or [[spoiler:reincarnating Keel and his people]], he's embarrassed when he's praised and insists he's not a hero.
* HypocriticalHumor: When Aqua snorts about Megumin's parents' names, Izuku tells her that she has no grounds to laugh about someone else's name, given that hers is literally "water".
* ICallItVera: Aela's AutomaticCrossbow is named Bianca, in a fairly obvious ShoutOut to Franchise/DragonAge.

* ItIsBeyondSaving: Dronya, the Quirkless woman who was reincarnated a few decades before Izuku, believes that Belzerg and the world doesn't deserve salvation after undergoing her CynicismCatalyst. Izuku thinks otherwise, and Dronya eventually considers the possibility of Izuku actually saving the world.

** After he dumps Aela to pay his debt with Izuku, Kyouya replaces her with Aqua, who quickly sets off a chain reaction of events that result in his adventurer card being marked (thus barring him from taking quests for money), his other companion leaving him, and having to work in the mines just to make ends meet. To top it off, Aqua's spending habits force him to pay the ''very'' repulsive inkeeper with "entertainment". He even lampshades how badly his luck has turned but seems incapable of seeing it as karma for abandoning his party member.

** Attacks Keel without hesitation even as the lich greets them. Had he waited ''one'' minute and let Keel talk, he would have learned that Keel was willing to give him his entire treasure (which, in a later chapter, is revealed to be so massive that ''200 million eris'' is a small percentage) without a fight in exchange of Aqua purifying him. Instead, he and Aqua get run out of the dungeon by Keel's minions and it nearly causes a catastrophe that only gets averted because (a) Keel is a ReasonableAuthorityFigure and (b) Izuku acts to fix Kyouya's mistakes and reincarnates Keel, his beloved Sasha and his minions.

* LoopholeAbuse: [[spoiler:The Devil King exploited the letter of his deal with Wiz (she keeps the barrier protecting him powered as long as he doesn't hurt the innocent) by sending Beldia to camp near Axel, knowing that sooner or later the Dullahan would attack the city of his own will. Ironically, Wiz unwittingly ends up paying him back when she's reincarnated by Izuku, as by reincarnating she fulfills her contract on her own terms, leaving the barrier around his castle weakened to half its power and getting her friends spared on top of it.]]

** One of Izuku's first uses for his powers is... making berries for him to eat. They are special berries that feed you the equivalent of a day's dinner and heal you, but, still, berries. He then discovers they can be used for both making good quality wine and cheap healing potions.

** Keel the Lich was going to allow Aqua to purify him so he could finally meet his beloved, and in exchange he would give her and Kyouya his treasure. Instead, Kyouya attacked him before he could speak out, only destroying him (thus ensuring he can return) and accidentally destroying Keel's beloved's corpse. Aqua then drew a slapdash seal that would prevent Keel from reaching out to gather the corpse's ashes and didn't try to purify Keel's body. And, finally, the two ran away when the Lich's minions attacked them. Had it not been for Keel being a lot more patient than expected and Izuku learning about the problem and fixing it, Axel could have been in deep trouble.
** Chris isn't any better, as her attempts to get into Izuku's good graces only have her continuously shoot herself in the foot, such as trying to steal Chika's egg, or sneaking into Wiz's shop while Izuku reincarnates her into an Avariel, suggesting to use her to repopulate the species.
* AnOddPlaceToSleep: Wiz is shown sleeping on the net used for cargo inside Izuku's carriage while they travel. Justified because now that she's an Avariel she needs to sleep somewhere above the ground.

* OutsideContextProblem: Izuku is this as a whole to the world he finds himself in.

** Since he can control the vines like they are tentacles, if he wants to carry an object around he can tie it to a vine and then tie the vine to his waist, while he keeps his hands free.

** Aela offers to temporarily take on Kyouya's fifty million eris debt to Izuku (which he only got because he decided to duel him even though he was warned not to), and he claims he will soon return to make the payment. Instead, he leaves Axel without warning Aela, nor leaving anything behind to help her live. The only reason Aela keeps going is because Izuku takes her in his party.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: One of Izuku's powers as a druid is ''Wild Shape'', the ability to transform into animals. He uses this to his advantage when Megumin asks him to demonstrate that he comes from another planet by turning into a ''Utahraptor'', which in the world of ''[=KonoSuba=]'' would likely be consider a chimeric monster.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: When Lean trips as she and her party run away from a Rookie Killer, Dust jumps to shield her instead of running away.

* WomanScorned: Aela, one of Kyouya's party members, offers to act as the temporary recipient of Kyouya's fifty million eris debt the swordsman contracted with Izuku in the aftermath of being defeated in the duel. When Kyouya leaves Axel without so much as a by-your-leave, clearly planning to make Aela pay for his own mistake, Aela begins to waver between her lingering feelings and newfound hatred of Kyouya, particularly once she realizes how much Kyouya's attitude had stunted her growth. She finally begins to see him like the others after Izuku frees her of her debt.

* MugglesDoItBetter: Izuku shares his knowledge of physics and chemistry with Megumin. This allows her to create Big Bang, an up to eleven version of Explosion with barely a third of the mana cost, and which utterly disintegrates Beldia's castle... and the cliff it stood on.

** When he finally uses it to restore Wiz, she becomes an [[WingedHumanoid Avariel]].

*** [[spoiler:When the Mobile Fortress Destroyer attacks Axel, Izuku uses Wild Shape to transform into a ''sixty meter tall Spriggan'', halts the robotic creature's advance, tanks all of its attacks, pierces its almost undestructible armor and rips its core, using the energy to restore the nature miles around him.]]

* ChekhovsSkill: Izuku's Wild Shape isn't used much during the story, barring one time he uses it to transform into a dinosaur to prove to Megumin and the others that he's from another world, and later as a cat to find where Megumin is sleeping. Come Chapter 19, [[spoiler:he uses it to transform into a giant Spriggan to battle against the Destroyer]].

* ChekhovsSkill: Izuku's Wild Shape isn't used much during the story, barring one time he uses it to transform into a dinosaur to prove to Megumin and the others that he's from another world, and later as a cat to find where Megumin is sleeping. Come Chapter 19, [[spoiler:he uses it to transform into a giant Treant to battle against the Destroyer]].

* CluelessChickMagnet: Izuku's combination of gentleness, determination, intelligence, and power make him a ''very'' eligible young man for the local people. The girls on his team range from crushes to outright worship, and others outside like Luna and Wiz are also interested in him.

** Megumin thanks to some clever points from Izuku ends up shedding her CripplingOverspecialization of only using [[AwesomeButImpractical Explosion]] and with some education from him, even ends up creating new spells such as [[FantasticNuke Big Bang]] (an UpToEleven version of Explosion that only costs a third of the mana) and [[GreekFire Hellflame]] (a potent fire spell capable of bypassing magical resistances).

*** He helps Megumin create Big Bang (an UpToEleven version of Explosion). [[spoiler:This later inspires Megumin to develop a modification of the same spell that transforms it into a WaveMotionGun powerful enough to shatter the barrier surrounding the Destroyer and split its head.]]

And, since Keel is familiar with Aqua's magic, he can identify her as the cause of the hauntings, putting her and Kyouya in greater trouble.]]

* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:Aqua got into a fifty-million eris debt to Izuku to pay her church's taxes, but not only was that ''five times'' the actual debt, the head priest and his cronies promptly ran off with it.]]

* AtomicFBomb[=/=]ClusterFBomb: Izuku combines both in his reaction when [[spoiler:he learns that the Sage Claire was looking for (and the reason why he traveled back to Axel) is actually him]].

** Kyouya, for all of his blind worship for Aqua, is appalled by her bitchiness and refusal to do anything remotely useful to the group after she joins his party

** After he dumps Aela to pay his debt with Izuku, Kyouya replaces her with Aqua, who quickly sets off a chain reaction of events that result in his adventurer card being marked (thus barring him from taking quests for money), his other companion leaving him, and having to work in the mines just to make ends meet. To top it off, Aqua's spending habits force him to pay the ''very'' repulsive inkeeper with "entertainment".

* BerserkButton: Izuku hates it when people assume that Chika and Liza are just mindless brutes when both of them are ''much'' kinder and smarter than people believe (and probably are).

* ChekhovsGun: In Chapter 16, Chika lays an egg. After some shenanigans and a failed attempt from Chris to steal it, Izuku decides he's gonna destroy it so she can't have it. He does find an utility for it later on: namely, to create an ox-like creature to pull their carriage once they decide to leave Axel in Chapter 17.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:The Thief in Kyouya's party decides to hightail her way back to Axel and leave Kyouya after she learns of Izuku's and his party's feats, realizing that Kyouya's obsession with Aqua is going to doom the party.]]

* ShoutOut: Izuku manages to come up with plans for an AutomaticCrossbow he calls a [[VideoGame/MonsterHunter Bowgun]].

* WithFriendsLikeThese: Aqua is really unhelpful when it comes down to help Izuku, even though it is in her best interest to do so. Fortunately, the other allies Izuku later picks up are more up to the task. She somehow becomes worse when she ditches Izuku and joins Kyouya, taking advantage of his worship of her to fully engage in all of her vices without measure, even when Kyouya begs her to restrain herself in the aftermath of getting black marks.

* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Much to the shock of the Cream Cafe [[HornyDevils succubi]], Izuku is so pure that they can't even find what kind of girls he likes without magically forcing him to have erotic dreams.

When [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia Izuku Midoriya]] tries to save his former friend from a villain, the hero All Might comes to defeat the villain, but this time his attack was slightly off-center, blasting not only the villain, but also Izuku, who is sent flying - and he dies. He revives in front of the goddess [[LightNovel/KonoSuba Aqua]], who offers him reincarnation in another world, along with one magical object. When Izuku takes too long in making his choice, Aqua forces him to pick something - and Izuku accidentally picks ''her''. Aqua's superiors agree with the choice and force the goddess to go to Belzerg with Izuku, where he is expected to fight and defeat the Devil King.

* SpiritualAntithesis: This fic is one to ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13473211/1/Blessed-be-the-Quirkless Blessed be the Quirkless]]'', another ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia''/''LightNovel/KonoSuba'' crossover.

* XanatosGambit: Izuku's plan to deal with Beldia works with this: after getting Chika and Megumin out of the way, he goads the general into attacking him, with Darkness using her shield to easily tank the undead's attacks while Liza takes out his horse. Then, Izuku reveals he's about to cast his best magic spell to trick Beldia into going straight at him, using a teleportation spell - only to reveal that the Izuku he's attacked is actually a set of vines mimicking his form, vines that trap Beldia in position so Izuku and Megumin can unleash a combo that completely disintegrates the undead.

** Keel the Lich is a ReasonableAuthorityFigure who is willing to treat with adventurers without issue. The angriest he becomes is (understandably) after Kyouya and Aqua attacked him and destroyed his beloved's mummified body (before he could make his offer of letting them purify him), and even then the worst he did was to force Dust's adventurer party to collect the body's remains or erase Aqua's seal (which prevents him from doing the collecting himself), and when Izuku solves the issue (by having Megumin use a spell to suck all the ashes into a bag) Keel pays Dust's party quite handsomely just for erasing the seal and offers Izuku a similar reward.

*** He helps Megumin create Big Bang (an UpToEleven version of Explosion). [[spoiler:This later inspires Megumin to develop a modification of the same spell that transforms it into a WaveMotionGun powerful enough to shatter the barrier surrounding the Destroyer and split its head.]]

* FantasticNuke: Megumin's Big Bang, best described as her trademark Explosion turned UpToEleven. The first casting reduced Beldia's castle ''and the cliff it stood on'' to a ''crater'', and the explosion could be heard (and seen) from Axel.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Stella, the Lyndon College mage who tries to steals Megumin's Big Bang, gets skewered by Izuku's spikes when he jumps to protect Megumin from her. Fortunately for her, he reincarnates her almost immediately.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Much to the shock of the Cream Cafe [[HornyDevils succubi]], Izuku is so pure that they can't even find what kind of girls he likes without forcing him to have erotic dreams.

* LoopholeAbuse: [[spoiler:The Devil King exploited the letter of his deal with Wiz (she keeps the barrier protecting him powered as long as he doesn't hurt the innocent) by sending Beldia to camp near Axel, knowing that sooner or later the Dullahan would attack the city of his own will.
