** Played painfully straight with Zapper/Kaminari. In canon, he had one of the most powerful Quirks in the class, to the point where he could easily take out entire groups. His problem was [[PowerIncontinence lack of control over said Quirk and the fact that he would short himself out]]. Here his Quirk is Static, which essentially allows him to [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeart deliver a mildly uncomfortable electric shock]]. Like Midoriya, many of his feats are AdaptedOut. He's so weak that when the Final Exam arc came up, he was added on an already complete pairing because the teachers thought he was that much dead weight.

* AdaptationalBadass:
** All For One has a Quirk that allows him to possess anyone anywhere at any time, racking up his threat level by quite a bit. Fortunately he doesn't use it much except for adding to his fear factor.
** Considering Zapper was on Jiro and Koda's team and it's explicitly stated that the only people who failed the exam was Bakugo and Scott, this means Larose/Ashido managed to beat Nezu all by herself, which is quite a lot considering she failed even with Kaminari helping her in canon.



** Ida makes a bomb out of kitchen utensils to blow up UA because he doesn't like his teachers.



** Shiozaki is a devout Christian in canon, who is disgusted at the thought of killing someone and doesn't like lying. Here she's a BitchInSheepsClothing who manipulates Zapper's desperation for kindness just to beat him. Considering Zapper is [[AdaptationalWimp much weaker here than in canon]], she could've just overpowered him in a fair fight but chose the [[KickTheDog option which would emotionally hurt him the most]]. She also threatens Present Mic for similar reasons.



** Aoyama is Pierre. His Quirk is also named Laser Dick instead of Naval Laser.
** Ashido is Larose.
** Shiozaki is Vine.



* AdaptationalWimp: Midoriya during season one. Granted [[DownplayedTrope he's still got the same amount of power as in canon]] but he is significantly less impressive during the USJ, with all of his feats either AdaptedOut or done by someone else entirely and it all culminates with [[spoiler: him dying at the end of it]].

Becomes a subverted example when it turns out he actually did tear a hole in ''space and time'' while doing so]].

Cue Larose pantsing Pierre on live television, which results in them being pulled off air.

* CameBackWrong: No matter how you see it, there's something ''off'' about [[spoiler: Midoriya after he's been resurrected. He's [[TookALevelInJerkass harsher to Bakugo]], the person he'd made amends with and has reverted to something of a HeroWorshipper, seeing nothing wrong with Hero Society. Contrast this with him at the start of the series where he was cynical but was also someone who acknowledged the flaws in Hero Society and wanted to change it for the better. It's telling that his CharacterDevelopment in the last two seasons essentially amounts to him ending up right back where he started]].


Added DiffLines:

* CharacterDevelopment: Midoriya and it's rather complicated. He starts out well aware of the flaws in society and wants to change it for the better, gets diagnosed with cancer causing him to [[TookALevelInCynic take a level in cynic]] but decides that he wants to do [[TheAntiNihilist as much heroic acts as he can before he dies]]. In doing so he learns to forgive Bakugo and then [[spoiler: dies. He gets better but in doing so he also CameBackWrong; his personality is both more idealistic in terms of Hero Society and selfish in terms of his personal relationships. The fourth season essentially develops him in a way that he ends up more akin to his personality in season one. Finally TheMovie develops him further by teaching him self-preservation and not to give up just because he has cancer, finally shedding the nihilistic nature he's had since the start of the series]].

** Izuku only trains Downplayed with All Might Midoriya. He has become quite cynical since being diagnosed with cancer but it's because he was promised super powers and tells him of this cancer, that he's just as much. He's eager to throw his life away in acts of heroism. He also self-centered and unwilling to see others (Bakugo) have changed.lets go of his grudge with Bakugo later on in the season. Of course that doesn't stop him from [[TookALevelInJerkass taking a level in jerkass]] later on in the series when he [[spoiler: comes back from the dead]].

** Surprisingly enough All Might is this along with AdaptationalJerkass though it is often overtaken by the latter. He's somewhat more amicable to Midoriya in this universe and even opens up the possibility for him to be a Hero instead of shutting him down in canon. Ends up as a subversion when it's eventually revealed that the only reason he gave Midoriya a chance was because One For All is essentially a homing beacon for All For One and he wanted to take the target off his back. Things get a bit more [[ZigzaggedTrope complicated]] when you consider that the reason canon All Might crushed Midoriya's dreams was to protect him from the dangers that Pro Heroes often face.


Added DiffLines:

* TookALevelInCynic: One that is easy to overlook considering he takes it about two minutes through the first episode but Midoriya genuinely was an idealistic boy who wanted to change what was wrong with the world when he grew up. Then he got diagnosed with cancer and realized he would be lucky to grow up at all.

* DecoyProtagonist: Midoriya is a [[ZigzaggedTrope zigzagged case]]. From the start, he acts like a fairly normal protagonist before he [[spoiler: dies in the season one finale]]. After that point Bakugo takes over and we see his perspective on things. Then late into season three, [[spoiler: Midoriya comes BackFromTheDead]]. However, even after that, he feels more like a supporting character and though he's at the foreground, it is still Bakugo who sends things in motion and deals with Bakugo's problems with Midoriya being LockedOutOfTheLoop for a good portion of his screen time. Midoriya gradually ends up gaining more relevance as time goes on but TheMovie seems to come to a compromise with both characters sharing the protagonist position.



* ItsAllAboutMe: Midoriya spends so much time feeling sorry for himself he fails to see others (primarily Bakugo) are suffering too until it’s spelled out for him.

''My Hero Abridged'' is an AbridgedSeries by [=JoyRide=] Entertainment based on the manga ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia''. It follows Izuku Midoriya, an aspiring hero with cancer. He meets the hero All Might, but his idol [[BrokenPedestal is not all he's cracked up to be]]. Overall, ''My Hero Abridged'' is an average series with the dark humor, [[ComedicSociopathy hilariously sadistic cast]], and [[TheStationsOfTheCanon well-treaded anime plotlines]] always found in an abridged series--

[[AlternateUniverse Except not]]. After season one, the story becomes [[CerebusSyndrome much darker and more serious]] (though the comedy is still there). The world becomes morally grey and scenarios that are often PlayedForLaughs in other abridged series are played [[PlayedForDrama dead seriously]] here. [[NothingIsTheSameAnymore Do not expect a funny retread of MHA in this tale...]]

''My Hero Abridged'' is complete. Its sequel series ''My Hero Alternative'' is in the works.

The series' playlist can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpA2V_NTQWeWdWvsyGKaLVHoynMmmwdq9 here]].
