* AdaptationalSexuality: [[spoiler: In-canon, Izuku has only ever expressed interest in girls and Kaminari is usually portrayed lusting after the other female students alongside Mineta PlayedForLaughs. Here, Izuku/Mikumo and Kaminari start dating after the Sports Festival.]]
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Played with. [[spoiler: On the suggestion of the cosmic force within him, Izuku/Mikumo infiltrates the Eight Precepts of Death's hideout to steal the very quirk-erasing drug that prompted him and Denki to save Eri in the first place. While stealing a highly-illegal drug may be seen as bad on its own, one could argue that the subsequent arson and murder Izuku/Mikumo commits to cover his tracks are even worse, since it is implied that all the remaining members of the Eight Precepts of Death die in the conflagration that razes the hideout to the ground.]] The author, interestingly, alludes to this trope in the chapter summary.
* BirdsOfAFeather: The very first friend Izuku/Mikumo makes at UA is Kaminari Denki, the only other student with a ShockAndAwe quirk. [[spoiler: By the end of the Sports Festival, they start dating]].

* CurbStompBattle: When the League of Villains separates Class 1-A during the USJ invasion, Izuku winds up in the water-section just like in-canon. The difference here is that he has ''electricity-powers'' and knocks them all unconscious instantly by zapping them in the water.

* ForWantOfANail:
** Instead of getting One For All, Izuku/Mikumo instead manifests a stupefyingly powerful ShockAndAwe superpower by sheer luck.
** In-canon, Izuku is voted in as a class representative, but later gives up the position in favor of Iida Tenya. Here, he keeps the position.
** In-canon, All Might was only able to incapacitate the Noumu at the USJ with considerable effort. Here, Izuku/Mikumo manages to evade and [[DeathByAdaptation ultimately behead it]] single-handedly before All Might even arrives.
** In-canon, Hatsume Mei throws her match with Iida during the Sports Festival after using the latter to advertise her support equipment. Here, Hatsume plans to do the same, but on Izuku/Mikumo's advice, she uses her wide range of support equipment to beat her competition, eventually finishing as the second runner-up of the Sports Festival and becoming the first non-heroics student to make it to the podium.
** Izuku/Mikumo defeats Todoroki and Bakugo, winning the Sports Festival.
** In canon, Izuku doesn't meet Eri and Overhaul until after he starts his internship with Sir Nighteye after All Might officially retires. [[spoiler: Here Izuku/Mikumo and Kaminari happen upon Eri during their post-Sports Festival date. Not only that, but they take the initiative and try to protect Eri from Overhaul and his men, save her and single-handedly defeat the Eight Precepts of Death with their combined fire-power.]]
** Izuku/Mikumo convinces Yaoyorozu not to intern under Uwabami, though who she ultimately decided to intern under is still unknown.
** Izuku/Mikumo does not intern under Gran Torino. [[spoiler: Instead he interns at an agency in Hosu to keep an eye on Iida following the Hero Killer's attack on Ingenium.]]



** Izuku/Mikumo still cleans up Dagobah beach as part of his training for the UA entrance exam.
** Izuku/Mikumo and Uraraka Ochako still go up against Bakugo and Iida during the Battle Trials and win, though the manner of means were different from canon.

** Izuku/Mikumo takes great pleasure in baiting Bakugo and then getting him in-trouble for his own bad behavior. [[spoiler: It is not until right before he beats him in the Sports Festival does he partially-reveal who he is to Bakugo by calling him his childhood nickname "Kacchan".]]

** Having no patience for self-serving perverts like Mineta, Izuku/Mikumo vows to get him expelled for his bad behavior. [[spoiler: He eventually fulfills that promise when he catches Mineta rummaging through the girl's locker-room at the Sports Festival for their underwear, getting the girls' permission before he completely beats him within an inch of his life, stuffing his body in a locker and then turning him in when the Sports Festival ends. He is then promptly expelled and his position taken by Shinso]].

* SentientPhlebotinum: [[spoiler: It is revealed in Chapter 19 that Izuku/Mikumo's powers are not a quirk, instead being a self-aware cosmic force that came to Earth when quirks were first manifesting, [[LegacyOfTheChosen Izuku/Mikumo being its newest vessel]].]]

* SuperpowerDisability: When the first lightning bolt struck Izuku, it stopped his heart and essentially killed him instantly. The second lightning bolt resuscitated him, but the electricity in his body now operates many of his bodily functions like his cardiovascular system, meaning his heart (among other things) is all-but dead. If the amount of energy in his core reaches 0 or if Aizawa were to use his quirk on him, he would die instantly. [[spoiler: Although this has since been partially averted by the reveal of his power being a sentient cosmic force after he and Kaminari take down the Eight Precepts of Death, and further revelation by the force saying that it can't be erased by quirks]].
* SuperpowerLottery: Izuku's new ShockAndAwe powers are bestowed upon him by what is essentially random chance and after a few months of training, he quickly proves to be the most powerful - if not ''the'' most powerful - student in UA. He can absorb a seemingly limitless amount of electricity from any source by touch, can fire it as lightning or concussive blasts, create explosive balls, can self-destruct and reassemble himself, fly, create blade-like constructs and create impressive shockwaves with enough explosive force to completely destroy the likes of a Zero-Pointer Robot [[spoiler: something he discovers can take less power when crossing wires with another person's electricity, as is the case with Kaminari]].
* TookALevelInCynic: After Izuku manifests [[ShockAndAwe his powers]] and confesses to his mother just how hard he has it, Izuku becomes far more bitter and stoic than his wide-eyed canon counterpart. He tries and fails to keep to himself - his new friends comparing him to Todoroki and calling them "Ice Kings" - and Izuku takes every opportunity to bait Bakugo, usually at around the time when Aizawa catches Bakugo causing him trouble. He also seems to [[BrokenPedestal no longer look up to All Might]], taking the time during the Sports Festival Award Ceremony to reveal to him who he was and rubbing it in his face just how wrong he was about him.
* [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend Violently Protective Boyfriend:]] Izuku doesn't tolerate anyone threatening or harming Kaminari, to the point of inflicting a GroinAttack on Shinso for insulting him.
