** The first battle of the series is a simple scuffle between a villain and a bunch of heroes, with Izuku rushing in alone to save a person who treated him horribly (Bakugo) and spurring on somebody else to help him (All Might.) [[spoiler:At the end of the series, All For One has enacted a similar scenario where he has Shigaraki's soul trapped in his own body, a person who had treated Izuku even worse than Bakugo did, showing nothing but contempt and killing intent up to this point. Only Izuku is swiftly backed up by all the heroes still standing and he rushes in with people by his side. It contrasts Izuku's growth with All For One's lack of it, as one becomes the greatest hero through inspiring others to action while the other proves himself to be no better than your common crook despite his delusions of being an almighty [[MaouTheDemonKing "Demon Lord"]].

--> '''All For One:'' [[spoiler:''No... Stop...'' ''[[DontLookAtMe Don't look at me.]]'']]
--> '''Izuku:''' All you are is [[IJustWantToBeLoved a lonely man!!]]

** The story itself begins in the city of Musutafu, where Izuku lives. [[spoiler:The last two battles of the Final War (All Might vs All for One and Izuku vs Shigaraki) take place in the ruins of the same city.]]

* TheBadGuyWins: The end of the Forest Training Camp Arc sees the League of Villains get [[spoiler:what they wanted (Bakugo)]] and manage to get away even though a few are beaten and captured, including the villain who [[spoiler:killed Kota's parents]]. [[spoiler: Also, the villains won the Paranormal Liberation War due to the damage Gigantomachia has caused over 30 cities. Dabi's exposed Endeavor's abusive history along with Hawk's connection to the criminal named Takami to the general public. And Shigaraki's premature awaken caused mass destruction around Jaku City with his enhanced Decay quirk. Although, the League lost Twice and Mr. Compress in the fight, Shigaraki, Dabi, Spinner, Himiko Toga and some other villains got away. As the result, the people started to lose faith in the heroes]].
