* LoyalAnimalCompanion: Siren very much so. This Quirked canary loves Izuku very much, and has repeatedly proven a willingness to go for the eyes of whoever threatens her human. Even if it means [[spoiler: taking a bullet meant for him.]]]] It takes a long while though for people to truly process and appreciate that Siren is more intelligent than a normal bird, just taking her behavior as quirky and not ''Q''uirky.



* WhatTheHellHero: While Izuku does not hate All Might, he also acknowledges he has serious issues hating or resenting people in general; aside from Shigaraki. However he does later chew out All Might for what the man did in destroying his dream, and how he had in all the times at school giving Izuku encouragement failed to understand just how seriously he had ''hurt'' Izuku. Notably this is all non-verbally, as the boy refuses to speak to him.

* Yandere: Toga is romantically obsessed with Izuku, and deluded into believing he would just return to be a captive of the League and tortured by them, after they had already ''mutilated'' him, because she asked. She is also upset when he submits negative reports about her, unable to recognize he is entirely serious and outright hates her and the rest of the League.

* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with Hiashi as a father. He is working in America, yet does videocalls weekly.

Added DiffLines:

* ItsPersonal: Between Izuku and the League of Villains, but particularly Shigaraki:
** For Izuku, he hates them for abducting him and holding him prisoner, and especially [[spoiler: for Shigaraki destroying his tongue, and putting a hole through his cheek. They were also on the verge of breaking him by threatening to kill Canary fans to make him stop running away.]]
** For Shigaraki, he hates Canary as a 'cheater,' especially for killing a Nomu by disintegrating it with a touch, which is ''his'' thing. When captured, Izuku also refuses to join them despite how the world abused him as 'Quirkless' means that he should be the perfect recruit, and remains true as a hero to inspire people. After capturing Izuku [[spoiler: and destroying his tongue, he became increasingly frustrated by Izuku's repeated escape attempts, wanting to keep him as a pawn. But when Izuku successfully escaped and ''healed his tongue'' to sing once more, Shigaraki became absolutely livid.]]

Follow Canary on his journey to find his voice and become the hero he was always meant to be.

The story was completed on February 2nd, 2020.

* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Instead of getting One for All, Midoriya has a Quirk that involves singing.

* BaitAndSwitch: When Midoriya finishes his essay ''in the middle of Present Mic's radio show intro'' and he asks if he can deliver it, Present Mic bluntly tells him no. Not because they're in the middle of something important, but because he guarantees he'll just lose it later.
