* AscendedExtra: In the ''[=MHA=]'' canon, Amplifier was a pro-hero that only makes a one-scene appearance in ''Anime/MyHeroAcademiaTheTwoHeroes'' as an announcer to the "Villain Attack" attraction for the I-Expo's Early Access Event. Here, she is the first pro who encounters Izuku when he begins his vigilante career. It is through her that the various local heroes learn about him and come to see him as an early warning system for nearby-crimes.

* BoringButPractical: Izuku's first two weeks as a vigilante consist entirely of heckling heroes until they chase him towards a crime he spotted earlier. While certainly not glamorous, it does help people and Izuku currently has neither the skills nor physical fitness to fight villains himself.



* DidntSeeThatComing: Izuku's attempt to make Rock Lock follow him to a robbery almost fails because the man doesn't see a point in chasing after some punk who threw a rock at him. Luckily, Amplifier was with him and knows Izuku is trying to lead them to a crime.



* ImprovisedWeapon: When Izuku is fighting somebody who was about to rape a reporter, he uses the pencil in his back jeans pocket as a makeshift weapon.

After his dream is finally crushed, Izuku isn't quite sure there's anything left for him to live for, but... he can't exactly kill himself either, not without hurting the people he cares the most about. So, when he realizes that [[LoopholeAbuse the quirkless can't technically be vigilantes]], it seems like the best of both worlds. He'll be able to save people even without being a hero and, if he happens to die while he’s at it...well, like Kacchan said, maybe he'd be born with a quirk in the next life.
