History Recap / MyHeroAcademiaS6E19FullPower

* TookALevelInBadass: Though he has become more powerful and dependable after improving his use of One For All, but becomes more badass starting here. He performs feats and attacks more efficiently and becomes more serious in tone. Even his costume has given him a slightly more intimidating "Dark Hero" look.

* MythologyGag: Part of Deku's advanced costume includes a set of "Mid-Gauntlet", compression based support items imported from the United States before travel and shipping was restricted. They are likely based on the "Full Gaunlet" glove Melissa Shield lent to him during the ''[[Anime/MyHeroAcademiaTwoHeroes Two Heroes]]'' movie.

* DefeatAsBackstory: Muscular explains how he has been itching for a rematch against Midoriya since his defeat at the U.A. training camp. He makes it clear that it's not out of revenge, but from [[WorthyOpponent the excitement of someone actually managing to overpower him]].

* EveryoneHasStandards: The citizens who give Shindo a hard time aren't going to just let him die. They prepare to risk their lives in an attempt to save him, despite Shindo warning them [[TooDumbToLive that they would be slaughtered]]. Once Deku rescues him, they help take Shindo to a hospital.
* HardTruthAesop: Izuku already understands some Villains feel that don't have have a choice in what they do because of their past or how their Quirk operates. They cam be talked to to calm the situation. That said, some simply want to cause chaos and violence because they want to, such as Muscular, and have to be stopped.

* {{Irony}}/BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: A heartbreaking example, when All Might and All For One fought last time, Inko Midoriya put her foot down and said she won't be sending Izuku back to UA, out of concern for his safety, but ultimately relented when All Might promised to look after her little boy. Now, Izuku himself announces that he would be dropping out of UA [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies in order to keep his loved ones safe]]. Inko is devastated, because UA is the one place that is trying to make arrangements to keep everyone there safe. She protests but again relents after Izuku reassures her that he would be alright.

* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: As established for the past few episodes, some citizens stubbornly choose to protect themselves instead of relying on Heroes they once had faith in. This is the reason why Shindo and Nekagame have trouble convincing a group to evacuate with Muscular approaching. Much of Japan is in disarray after a lot of Heroes and their agencies shut down, and legions of Villains are on the loose.

* AchillesHeel: Implied that Muscular has a soft spot within his layers of muscle that Deku was able to strike, successfully bringing him down after the Villain's extra layers start to year.

* InternalReveal: Like he did with his classmates, Izuku lets All Might explain to his mom the truth about his Quirk, and how her son being initially Quirkless allowed him to handle it more than their predecessors.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Deku uses the 6th User's Quirk from One For All this episode; a Smokescreen Quirk that allows him to produce smoke from his body and limit others' field of vision. The User warns him to take better control or it will only [[HoistByHisOwnPetard hinder him more than help]].

* AvengersAssemble: The end of the flashback and episode shows Izuku joining the Top 3 Pros [Best Jeanist, Haws, and Endeavor] and the retired All Might.

* BloodKnight: Muscular reveals himself to be this, [[ShutUpKirk not interested in any sympathy, pity or reason]] fot why he became a Villain in the first place. He just loves the thrill of violence, regardless who gets in his way.

* SpannerInTheWorks: Grand actually did more damage to Muscular than he would have thought. The Villain took much of his Vibration Quirk which weakens his muscle layers. Deku noticed this and was abke to deal a critical hit.
