These examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread

** When The Zone that prevents death and heals all injuries first appears, it takes some time for people to notice, but people eventually figure out that they can't die and start taking advantage of the fact. Over time, things spiral out of control people no longer fear the consequences of their actions: from using their Quirk in public all the way to slashing someone's throat over a petty argument. It takes years for things to settle into something approaching peace as a result.

** With death no longer a factor within The Zone, heroics shifted focus towards catching villains and preventing property damage. When even decapitation is little more than a temporary inconvenience, people began placing more value on their possessions than their lives.
** Many people outside The Zone have a hard time adjusting to life within it. On the one hand, life is largely unchanged from normal cities, with people still going to work and school or hanging out with friends. On the other hand, most people within The Zone think nothing of resorting murderous violence with little reason. For example, Bakugou severely injured Izuku numerous times throughout their childhood and neither finds that fact unusual. Furthermore, medical research massively leaped forward as many people are willing to undergo many horrific procedures for money, so long as they're given enough painkillers beforehand, knowing they'll be perfectly healed no matter what happens.
** The Kelpers (people who choose to live underwater) have to communicate via sign language due to being unable to speak underwater. Also, even though they won't die, being underwater for months or even years at a time noticeably distorts their bodies, especially if they ever come onto dry land.
** Property within the Zone is immensely expensive. On the border there are many shanty towns full of people too poor to live inside The Zone but desperate for its restorative properties.

* ImmortalsFearDeath: As mentioned below, the punishment for a repeat offence of certain serious crimes within the Zone is to be dragged outside the Zone and executed for real. Very few who have gotten used to life within the Zone are willing to risk losing their immortality.
* KilledOffForReal: Anyone who commits certain severe crimes within the Zone is branded in a special way before being exiled from the Zone. If they return and are caught committing another crime, they will be dragged outside the Zone and then executed.

!!''Death Need Not Apply'' contains examples of the following tropes:
* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: Anyone who spent enough time in The Zone has zero fear of death along with an insane pain tolerance, due to the Zone's effects. While the rest of the class is horrified by Izuku, Bakugou, and Todoroki (who grew up in The Zone) casually dealing lethal injuries to their classmates, Izuku needs some time to understand what the problem is. During their first exercise, Izuku helpfully dispenses advice while killing his classmates, such as impaling Shoji while warning him about how painful stomach injuries are.
* FeelNoPain: Izuku, by way of an inhuman pain tolerance. During the U.A. entrance exam, Izuku is functionally Quirkless and still gets enough points to enter the hero course by beating the robots to death with his bare hands then ripping off pieces to use as improvised weapons. In chapter six, Izuku is stabbed with so much broken glass that he clinks with every movement and [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction shows no reaction at all]]. The only time so far Izuku's shown to actually feel pain is when he grunts slightly after getting hit in the face by Mina's acid.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Anyone who spends a significant amount of time in The Zone will have an outright inhuman pain tolerance because The Zone is an area where no one can die and all injuries eventually heal. Izuku gets hit in the face with Ashido's acid and barely grunts on top of commenting that Bakugou's blown his legs off plenty of times, apparently having a phase where he liked creating nitroglycerin mine fields. Later, Izuku cheerfully shows Hagakure how to properly snap someone's neck, using himself as the test dummy, and compliments her first attempt, saying she definitely cracked a vertebra and was close to doing it perfectly.
* RealityEnsues:
** When The Zone that prevents death and heals all injuries first appears, it takes some time for people to notice, but people eventually figure out that they can't die and start taking advantage of the fact. Over time, things spiral out of control people no longer fear the consequences of their actions: from using their Quirk in public all the way to slashing someone's throat over a petty argument. It takes years for things to settle into something approaching peace as a result.
** One of the things that calmed villainy within The Zone? A two strike policy. Anyone caught committing a crime would be branded[[labelnote:*]]The brands show through all attempts to cover them and their shape and color indicates the crime[[/labelnote]] before being exiled from The Zone. Anyone who returns and commits another crime would be taken outside The Zone and executed. Being reminded that they're only immortal while inside The Zone caused most to swear off any form of villainy.
** With death no longer a factor within The Zone, heroics shifted focus towards catching villains and preventing property damage. When even decapitation is little more than a temporary inconvenience, people began placing more value on their possessions than their lives.

Over time, things spiral out of control people no longer fear the consequences of their actions: from using their Quirk in public all the way to slashing someone's throat over a petty argument. It takes years for things to settle into something approaching peace as a result.
** One of the things that calmed villainy within The Zone? A two strike policy. Anyone caught committing a crime would be branded[[labelnote:*]]The brands show through all attempts to cover them and their shape and color indicates the crime[[/labelnote]] before being exiled from The Zone. Anyone who returns and commits another crime would be taken outside The Zone and executed. Being reminded that they're only immortal while inside The Zone caused most to swear off any form of villainy.
** With death no longer a factor within The Zone, heroics shifted focus towards catching villains and preventing property damage. When even decapitation is little more than a temporary inconvenience, people began placing more value on their possessions than their lives.
** Many people outside The Zone have a hard time adjusting to life within it. On the one hand, life is largely unchanged from normal cities, with people still going to work and school or hanging out with friends. On the other hand, most people within The Zone think nothing of resorting murderous violence with little reason. For example, Bakugou killed Izuku numerous times throughout their childhood and neither finds that fact unusual. Furthermore, medical research massively leaped forward as many people are willing to undergo any kind of horrific procedures so long as they're given enough painkillers beforehand, knowing they'll be perfectly healed no matter what happens.

Summary:
A week later and people began to take notice. After a statistically improbable week without a single death, people took notice. After deadly wounds were shrugged off like nothing, people took notice. Time passed and still no one could die. When the city of Musutafu became engulfed in the phenomenon dubbed 'The Zone', people were wary. No one could uncover what caused The Zone. It was an unknown, some claimed. It went against the laws of the world, some claimed. It was profitable, others claimed.
Humans adapt. It's what they do. When faced with the bizarre, humanity adapts. The strange becomes mundane.
The rest of the world looks on in horror.
Izuku's quirk emits a massive no-kill zone around him. This has consequences.
