4	Film/JohnWick is dead. He expected that much to happen in his line of work. What he ''didn't'' expect was being reborn into a world of superheroes. In spite of trying to keep his new identity of Izuku Midorya out of trouble, trouble keeps finding him. It seems like HesBack, whether he likes it or not...

6	[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/2444092 Cras Vivere Para Bellum]] is a series of fanfiction that asks a simple question: WhatIf Franchise/JohnWick was [[{{Reincarnation}} reincarnated]] as [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia Izuku Midorya]]?

8	The answer, on the other hand, is ''very'' complicated.

12	----
13	!!''Cras Vivere Para Bellum'' provides examples of:
14
15	* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Hitoshi Shinsou (who is HappilyAdopted by Aizawa and Present Mic here) is introduced when Izuku rescues him from bullies.
16	* AdaptationalPersonalityChange:
17	** Izuku, of course, has changed from a ShrinkingViolet to [[CombatPragmatist John]] [[{{Determinator}} Freakin]]' [[OneManArmy Wick]].
18	** Bakugo has gone from TheBully to a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, primarily thanks to Wick!Izuku serving as his MoralityChain. Compared to him not getting any Rescue Points during the entrance exam in canon, he actually gets five of them here because of that influence. In addition, he actively expresses confidence in Izuku's ability to succeed in the Hero course from day one.
19	* AdaptedOut: As the tags for the first fic note, Hitoshi replaces Minetta in this fic.
20	* ArmorPiercingQuestion: John stops Bakugo from bullying weaker kids by asking if All Might calls people wimps for having a "weak quirk".
21	* BackAlleyDoctor: Since hospitals [[FantasticRacism can refuse to treat Quirkless individuals]], several medical clinics catering towards them are HiddenInPlainSight.
22	* BadassNormal: Izuku stays Quirkless in this fic, as he rejected All Might's offer of One For All. Considering that he's still ''John Wick'', this doesn't stop him from kicking ass.
23	* BewareTheSuperman: John declines All Might's offer to be his successor, partially because he fears what he might become given that kind of power.
24	* BreatherEpisode: Chapter 13 involves Hitoshi and Katsuki dragging John to an arcade in between the USJ incident and the Sports Festival.
25	* CanonDiscontinuity: WordOfGod states that, due to not being familiar with the game, ''VideoGame/Payday2'' is not canon to the events of the fic.
26	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: In spite of his [[ImNotAHeroIm claims otherwise]], John tends to get into scrapes with villains in order to protect innocent people.
27	* DeathByAdaptation: The Nomu that All Might would have punched away at the USJ Facility is [[spoiler:here killed by John, who is able to target the creature's most obvious weak points in the form of its eyes and brain.]]
28	* TheDreaded: Wick!Izuku has become this to Mustafau's criminal underground, to the point that some who recognize him begin fleeing on sight.
29	* ImNotAHeroIm: Due to his DarkAndTroubledPast in his first life, John doubts he can be a hero.
30	* ImprovisedWeapon: Those who have seen John in action note how good he is at utilizing whatever he can get his hands on. During his fight with the Sludge Villain, he gouges one of their eyes out with [[MythologyGag a pencil]].
31	* InSpiteOfANail:
32	** In spite of John!Izuku advising All-Might on how to properly carry the bottle holding the Sludge Villain, the latter still escapes when he comes to, as a plastic bottle can still be ruptured.
33	** Although John!Izuku and Bakugo decline One For All, they still accept All Might's offer to train them.
34	** Izuku still saves Ochako from the Zero Pointer during the entrance exam.
35	* LoopholeAbuse: It is noted that while civilian Quirk users can't legally subdue criminals, the same doesn't hold true for those that are Quirkless. John!Izuku racks up a fair number of captures just while minding his own business, which the local police are okay with as long as he continues to call them about it.
36	* MuggingTheMonster: At age 11, John and Katsuki get kidnapped by human traffickers. [[CurbStompBattle Bad idea]].
37	* NotGoodWithRejection: The middle school first year girl who confessed to John, during his second year, didn't take his rejection well.
38	* OhCrap: A large number of the villains that attack the USJ have this moment when they realize that [[TheDreaded the Viridian Devil of Mustafau]] is present. Katsuki takes advantage of this to scare them off.
39	* RedBaron: Due to John's (multiple) scrapes with villains, he gets the nickname of the Viridian Devil of Mustafau.
40	* TitleDrop: In chapter one of Si Vis Pacem, when watching a video of All-Might rescuing people, John!Izuku absently says the English translation of the title. "If you wish for peace..."
41	* UnluckilyLucky: Bakugo notes that John!Izuku is this, with it causing him to insist that Izuku come to UA just to keep him out of trouble.
