* ShipTease: There's a subtle shade of this between Momo and Todoroki in the series and the "Ennichi Festival" CD Drama. In general, Momo greatly admires Todoroki and sees him as someone strong and capable whom she aspires to be like and he respects her intelligence and tenacity, helping Momo to get over her insecurity. In the CD Drama, the two happen to come to see the festival and hang around a little enough to see the fireworks together. Uraraka and Hagakure who thought they saw Todoroki there ask him if he really was there and after he answers yes and Momo enters the classroom the two are blushing about it, implying they know that something happened between the two.

* KickTheSonOfABitch:
** Played straight when the sludge villain attempts to hijack Bakugo's body, but since Bakugo had already spent the entire chapter up to that point being an unlikable {{Jerkass}}, it's more satisfying than horrifying.
** PlayedForLaughs when Kota shoves resident pervert Mineta off the hot spring wall when he wanted to peek on the naked girls.
** Played gruesomely straight when Shigaraki subjects [[spoiler:Overhaul]] to a FateWorseThanDeath where he [[spoiler:severs his arms and strips him of his Quirk]].
** Invoked in Chapter 290, [[spoiler:Dabi publicly exposes Endeavor's history of domestic abuse for the sake of creating the ultimate Hero]]. [[spoiler:While there is a dosage of LaserGuidedKarma to this, it's painted in a more tragic light than usual, because Endeavor saw the error of his ways and was actively trying to make amends for them during the last couple of arcs.]].

* OcularGushers: When Ochaco is the only person willing to team up with Midoriya during the cavalry battle event of the UA Sports Festival (due to the ten million point bounty on his head), Midoriya is so moved that Ochaco gets ''literally'' doused in his tears.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: All For One on two occasions:
** He foisted the power stockpiling Quirk onto his seemingly Quirkless younger brother, which led to the creation of One For All, the one Quirk that threatens his power.
** [[spoiler:The past users of One For All had difficulty in communicating with Izuku. All For One's failed attempt to steal One For All from Midoriya removed all barriers, allowing the users and Midoriya to easily communicate with each other whenever they wish.]]

** Then right next to Best Jeanist is Hawks, and it isn't hard to see how people adore him for his easygoing nature and charismatic attitude. He is most likely to get [[JustForPun crowded]] on the street and spend the time taking selfies and giving out autographs.

** Exaggerated since ''every'' character's name reflects their Quirk, appearance, and personality. [[spoiler:Those whose names aren't directly tied to their powers or have a much more vague relation to it also hint that it might not be theirs. Like Izuku Midoriya, whose first name can be partially translated as "nine" while his surname means "green". Fitting for being the ninth user of One For All and having a green aura but not exactly related to its power.]]

** Downplayed with Bakugo, who's almost perpetually HotBlooded and [[HairTriggerTemper hot tempered]]. His moments of kindness always shock the other characters even if he does them with an attitude, such as when he chose to win his round of the [[TournamentArc Joint Training Battle]] not through his power alone, but by protecting his teammates. When he saves Jiro from Kamakiri's attack, she's startled by the act, despite that he did it by ''kicking her out of the way.'' [spoiler:[[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre He also has one]] when [[VigilanteMan Midoriya goes rogue]], apologizing for being a {{Jerkass}} to Midoriya so often before.]]
