History Fanfic / MyBloodyAcademia

* UsedToBeASweetKid: Flashbacks show that Ryuko was a happy-go-lucky child growing up under her father. WordOfGod even says that she was like a combination of Mina and Ochaco growing up. Her father's murder caused her to become a bitter, cynical teenager who aimlessly coasts by.

* MyGreatestSecondChance: One of the reasons Endeavor is training Ryuko. After seeing that she somehow got [[spoiler:Blueflame]], he wants to make sure she can control it before increasing her power because he's afraid she'll suffer the same fate that led to [[spoiler:Toya's death (unknown to him, he's alive and seeking revenge as Dabu)]]. As such, he sees helping her master [[spoiler:Blueflame]] as a way to amend his mistakes.

* MyGreatestSecondChance: One of the reasons Endeavor is training Ryuko after seeing that she somehow got [[spoiler: Blueflame is that he wants to make sure she can control her flames before increasing her power]] because he's afraid that after [[spoiler: Toya died losing control of his flames because Endeavor stops his training before learning how to put out his the former's fire]], he afraid that [[spoiler:Ryuko will suffer the same fate as Toya due to her inexperience]], so helping [[spoiler: Ryuko]] is his way of fixing his mistakes.

** In the series, Nui's age was unknown, but she appeared to be around the same age as Ryuko and Satsuki, if not slightly younger. Here, she's 25 years old, making her almost a decade older than Satsuki and Ryuko.

* {{Foil}}: {{Word of God}} notes that Ryuko is this to [[spoiler: Toya/Dabi]]: They both have Quirks that were unstable when they were children. But while Isshin supported Ruko despite her lack of control over her quirk, Endeavor stopped training [[spoiler: Toya]] when his quirk started harming him. Because of this, Ryuko can fully control her quirk while [[spoiler: Toya]] can't control his quirk from burning himself nearly to death.

** In Interlude 7, Tomura attempts to fight Ragyo when she pisses him off. The key word is "attempts", as Ragyo just rag-dolls him and even {{no sell}}s his Decay Quirk.

* {{Foil}}: {{Word of God}} notes that Ryuko is this to [[spoiler: Toya/Dabi]]: They both have quirks that were unstable when they were children. But while Isshin supported Ruko despite her lack of control over her quirk, Endeavor stopped training [[spoiler: Toya]] when his quirk started harming him.

Because of this, Ryuko can fully control her quirk while [[spoiler: Toya]] can't control his quirk from burning himself nearly to death.

* ForWantOfANail: Due to being a fusion between ''Kill La Kill'' and ''My Hero Academia'', a lot of changes happen in the MHA storyline:
** Because Ryuko ranked 2nd place in the U.A entrance exam, she replaced Mashirao as a Class 1-A student.
** Ryuko ends up having an encounter with Toga at the mall before the start of the Training Camp Arc, which leads to her getting arrested before she can fully join the League of Villains. Though this becomes subverted when [[spoiler:Shigaraki and the rest of the League free her]].

** Ryuko inherits this from her father. Her chosen hero name is "The Bloody Hero: Senketsu", which basically means "[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment The Bloody Hero: Fresh Blood]]". She also named her newest attack "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Armor-Piercing Blood Bullet]]".

** Mirio Togata, one of the Big 3 didn't appear until after the Provisional Hero License Exam Arc where Aizawa introduced Class 1-A to him. Here, he appears in the U.A. Sports Festival Arc as an opponent during the obstacle race.

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Ragyo and Nui's criminal activities are unknown to the public, so the world sees them as a benevolent CEO and her High Order Tailor respectively.

** Mirio Togata, one of the The Big 3 didn't appear until after the Provisional Hero License Exam Arc where Aizawa introduced Class 1-A to him. Here, he appears in the U.A Sports Festival Arc as an opponent during the obstacle race.

* AdaptationalModesty: The nudity and fanservice elements from the ''Kill La Kill'' anime have been heavily toned down, if not outright removed altogether.

** Nui's villain outfit here covers a majority of her skin, where as canonically it left her legs, arms, and cleavage exposed.

* AtLeastIAdmitIt: Invoked and discussed when Ryuko and Iida talk about his internship and Tensei's recent maiming from the Hero Killer. Ryuko basically tells him to cut it out the noble act and own up to how he's going to Hosu specifically for revenge against Stain, even comparing it to her and how she wants revenge on her father's killer, but doesn't pretend otherwise.

* {{Foil}}: {{Word of God}} notes that Ryuko to [[spoiler: Toya/Dabi]]: They both have quirks that were unstable when they were children. But while Isshin supported Ruko despite her lack of control over her quirk, Endeavor stopped training [[spoiler: Toya]] when his quirk started harming him. Because of this, Ryuko can fully control her quirk while [[spoiler: Toya]] couldn't control his quirk from burning himself nearly to death.
* ForWantOfANail: Ryuko ends up having an encounter with Toga at the mall before the start of the Training Camp Arc, which leads to her getting arrested before she can fully join the League of Villains. Though this becomes subverted when [[spoiler:Shigaraki and the rest of the League free her]].

* Chapter 32, where All Might reveals that the sword Couturier uses is actually [[spoiler:ultra-hardened blood. Just like Ryuko's Quirk]].
* Chapter 90, where like Izuku, [[spoiler:Ryuko has a dream where she encounters a vestige, only that it's a ten-year-old Toya berating Ryuko for copying his Quirk before changing into Dabi, taunting her that she will never be a hero if she couldn't save her dad]].

* BrokenAce: Ryuko is a highly intelligent athletic prodigy with an incredibly powerful Quirk that she's skilled in using, the daughter of the one of the most respected scientists on Quirks in the world, and is on the same level as recommended students like Shoto and Momo (the only reason she isn't a recommended student is because [[BrilliantButLazy she was too lazy to want to do the recommended tests and turned down the offer]]). But she's also a bitter, moody teenager who is obsessed with getting revenge against her father's killer and is heavily apathetic to anything beyond that.

* ConsummateProfessional: This is Nui at her core which she lampshades. Everything that she do is just business, the people that she killed were NothingPersonal it was because she was ordered to do kill. If she was ordered to protect even a hero that's a threat to AFO and Ragyo's plans, Nui would do it.

** Bakugo may be an utter asshole, who the rest of Class 1-A tolerate to varying degrees, but even he finds Couturier loathsome, not only for the dismissive way she treats him during his and Ryuko's [[CurbStompBattle "Fight"]] with her, but also for the way Nui seems to delight in taunting Ryuko over murdering her father. He even goes out of his way to [[PetTheDog awkwardly try and cheer Ryuko up with the knowledge her father's killer is gone]] after he manages to land an apparent killing blow on Couturier.

* {{Foil}}: {{Word of God}} notes that Ryuko to [[spoiler: Toya/Dabi]]: They both have quirks that were unstable when they were children. But while Isshin supported Ruko despite her lack of control over her quirk, Endeavor stopped training [[spoiler: Toya]] when his quirk was starting to harm him. Because of this, Ryuko can fully control her quirk while [[spoiler: Toya]] couldn't control his quirk from burning himself nearly to death.

* {{Glamour}}: Couturier's Quirk Perceptional Manipulation is this, as anyone who sees her face can't define any features nor remember it after she leaves. It's later that it can also allow her to warp and alter the senses of those around her, often to the point of rendering herself completely invisible to others' senses.

** It also holds true for Izuku during their fight in the Shie Hassaikai headquarters. Despite her quirks being nullified by Eraser Head, she was still giving Izuku trouble because her [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower strength is all natural]]. Because Izuku possess One For All, All For One ordered her not to kill him because the Quirk would be destroyed if he dies.
* LogicalWeakness: Couturier's Quirk Perceptional Manipulation is really dangerous because its true power is manipulating the senses focused on her, meaning that someone ''could'' know she's there, but they can't see, touch, or smell her. But as Shoto and Tokoyami figured out is that the Quirk only affects Couturier not the environment around her, so someone perspective enough can know where she is by the environment reacting around her.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: One of the reason Endeavor is training Ryuko after seeing that she somehow got [[spoiler:Blueflame is that he wants to make sure she can control her flames before increasing her power]] because he's afraid that after [[spoiler: Toya died losing control of his flames because Endeavor stop his training before learning how to put out his the former's fire]], he afraid that [[spoiler:Ryuko will suffer the same fate as Toya due to her inexperience]], so helping [[spoiler:Ryuko]] is his way of fixing his mistakes.
* NoSell: Ryuko fires a blood bullet at faster-than-sound speeds right at [[spoiler:Ragyo/Koketsu]]. She backhands it like it was an annoying fly, shocking everyone.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Ragyo, as per WordOfGod, is 55-years-old by the time the story takes place, but she looks more than a decade younger than that.

** [[spoiler: Ryuko also becomes this after copying Blueflame from Dabi. Unlike him, with enough training from Endeavor, she can use it for longer period of time because she has a more greater heat resistance than Dabi]].

* QualityVsQuantity: How the teachers describe the difference between Ryuko's and Vlad King's Quirks. Vlad's Quirk can generate far more blood, but he can't use it in the same ways that Ryuko can, where as Ryuko can suffer risk of blood loss from overextending her Quirk while Vlad King cannot.

* UndyingLoyalty: Nui may [[TheGadfly love to push Shigaraki's buttons]], but at the end of the day, she is genuinely dedicated in her duties as his bodyguard and will drop her own vendettas if he's in danger.

* Chapter 90, where like Izuku, [[spoiler:Ryuko has a dream where she encounters a vestige, only that its a ten year old Toya berating Ryuko for copying his Quirk before changing into Dabi, taunting her that she will never be a hero if she couldn't save her dad]].
* WhamLine: In Interlude 26, Tomura and Ragyo have a meeting after All For One's arrest that revealed more of Ragyo's relationship to All For One than just partnership.

* {{Glamour}}: Couturier seems to have something like this, as anyone who sees her face can't define any features nor remember it after she leaves. It's later revealed that this is due to her Quirk Perceptional Manipulation allowing her to warp and alter the senses of those around her, often to the point of rendering herself completely invisible to others' senses.
