* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Played with. [[spoiler: On the suggestion of the cosmic force within him, Izuku/Mikumo infiltrates the Shie Hassaikai 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.

** In-canon, Hatsume Mei throws her match with Iida Tenya 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 and Uraraka Ochako still go up against Bakugo Katsuki and Iida Tenya during the Battle Trials and win, though the manner of means were different from canon.

** Izuku/Mikumo defeats Todoroki and Bakugou, winning the Sports Festival.

* HeadDesk: Izuku/Mikumo does this when he realizes All Might makes his entrance to Class 1-A as their teacher for Basic Hero Training class.

* GroinAttack: Izuku/Mikumo angrily does this to Shinsou Hitoshi during their match in the Sports Festival for insulting Kaminari.

** Izuku/Mikumo does to this Shigaraki Tomura during the USJ invasion after he kills the Noumu. [[spoiler: When Shigaraki tries to disintegrate Izuku/Mikumo out of anger, Izuku/Mikumo beats the man-child within an inch of his life, ending by fracturing the villain's hands by literally crushing them using his strength.]]

* CurbStompBattle: When the League of Villains separates Class 1-A, 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.

* 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]].

* 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/Akatani being its newest vessel]].]]

** Instead of getting One For All, Izuku/Akatani instead manifests a stupefyingly powerful ShockAndAwe superpower by sheer luck.
** In-canon, All Might was only able to incapacitate the Noumu at the USJ with considerable effort. Here, Akatani manages to evade and [[DeathByAdaptation ultimately behead it]] single-handedly before All Might even arrives.
** Izuku/Akatani defeats Todoroki and wins the Sports Festival.
** In canon, Izuku doesn't meet Eri and Overhaul until after he starts his internship with Sir Nighteye after All might official retires. [[spoiler: Here Izuku/Akatani and Kaminari happen upon Eri after their post-Sports Festival date. Not only that, but they take the initiative and try to protect Eri from them, save her and single-handedly defeat the Eight Precepts of Death with their combined fire-power.]]

** Izuku/Akatani 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 reveal who he is to Bakugo by calling him his childhood nickname "Kacchan".]]
** Having no patience for self-serving perverts like Mineta, Izuku/Akatani 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 girl's 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]].
* MeaningfulRename: After he manifests his quirk and changing schools, Izuku has his name changed to "Akatani Mikumo" (taking his mother's maiden name) and dies his hair purple as a means of making a clean slate for himself.
* SentientPhlebotinum: [[spoiler: It is revealed in Chapter 19 that Izuku/Akatani's powers are not a quirk, instead being a self-aware cosmic force that came to Earth when quirks were first manifesting, [[LegacyOfTheChosen Izuku/Akatani being its newest vessel]].]]
