** Ochako starts to lose faith when finding out Akatani was experimented on and no hero helped him, but a mercenary organization had. It was enough to convince her that the MSF aren't evil, but it makes her faith in hero society shaken.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Paparazzi}}: As Grizzly tells Momo, one of the main reasons he quit hero work is the infinite fucking paparazzi that swarmed him from ''everywhere''. When it got in the way of hero work, he made it very clear that in his short time as a hero, the press were everywhere to the point he was more of a tourist attraction than a hero on duty.

** This is what Asui and a good chunk of Class 1A believe Akatani is. Until Ape and Eagle explain that its not the case, while hiding out the part that Izuku was abducted by the HPSC and horrifically experimented on. Ochako finds out from Akatani in Chapter 71 that Emmerich's little stunt was the ''second'' time someone tried to experiment on him.

** Ocelot may be a strict teacher at times, but he becomes concerned when Todoroki shows signs of living in an abusive environment.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: "Evil" is a bit harsh, but Bakugou cannot understand why people would want to work with a Quirkless teen who's part of a 'villain' organization. He doesn't understand that Akatani has far better personality, character and social traits that he lacks.



** Both Izuku and Bakugou prove to be massive foils to each other. Both are teens who have spent ten years of their lives training to reach where they are, but while Bakugou has [[HavingABlast Explosion]], has massive BlackAndWhiteInsanity, an InferioritySuperiorityComplex, prefers to do an AttackAttackAttack approach and when things don't go his way, act like a manchild and view everyone but himself as extras, Izuku is [[UnSorcerer Quirkless]], skilled in firearms, stealth, hand-to-hand combat, strategy, uses any trick in the book to win and spent ten years training from a powerful mercenary company that he views as family.

** And when all the gen-ed and hotheaded 1B students do a declaration of war, Akatani has to re-direct their anger towards competativeness. He also points out that they would've gunned for the 1A students regardless of what he said.

** In fact, by Chapter 72, this is a major concern for Madam President. Since the HPSC has lost utter control over the situation in Africa, the warlords could easily seize the fake towns (as the best defense is a few measly police stations) for additional manpower to stave off the MSF offensives.


Added DiffLines:

** As time goes on, both Izuku and Todoroki are foils in their family lives. Both grew up in harsh environments and have big shoes to fill from their fathers. But while Endeavor is an AbusiveParent who is adamant in forcing Shoto to do things his way, Izuku is Snake's adopted son and is willing to accept the punishments as they see fit. While Shoto refuses to show his full potential to spite his father, Izuku embraces the true potential he has and gladly accepts Snake as his father.

The latter is useful when speaking with Japanese civilians, heroes and hero students, which Iguchi reveals when Momo, Mina and Toru ask Grizzly a few questions he can understand.



** In the Outer Heaven Arc, she hires all the African Warlords to [[FinalSolution kill everyone who is a member of Outer Heaven.]] Some were eager, others were skeptical, and a few viewed it as suicide. They all ended up joining, but after five years, they have nothing to show for it, Luan and Razak have pulled out of the fight for the time being, and Madam President is becoming more and more unhinged as time goes on.

And lastly: The MSF have been helping the refugees and the heroes attacked them out of the blue for no reason.

* LanguageBarrier: After the MSF's arrival, every UA student and staff member alongside the Japanese heroes who has little knowledge on English or cannot speak English fluently like Momo, Nezu and All Might makes it very difficult for them to understand what MSF personnel are saying. In contrast, the MSF personnel who can't speak Japanese cannot understand the Japanese heroes or UA students and staff. Only Snake, Miller, Iguchi, Izuku and Ocelot can speak Japanese. This leads to many wrong assumptions.
