Ere We Go, Pluz Ultra!
is a My Hero Academia and Warhammer 40,000 Crossover by Unseen-Lurker, writer of Through the Eternities.
Somewhere in space, the Warboss Torug Facebashah and his tribe are at ground zero of a WAAAGH Generator exploding violently. Said WAAAGH energy disappears to someone else; in this case, into the body of one Midoriya Izuku, forever changing the boy's life as he takes the world by storm with Ork tech and pure chaotic insanity.
Ere We Go, Pluz Ultra! provides examples of:
- Adaptational Dumbass: Downplayed and Played With. Studying is not Izuku's strong point, and mathematics in particular are his weakest point, and he struggles with words at times. However, Izuku's ability to strategise and plan fights is unaffected, and is likely better than his canon counterpart.
- Adaptational Early Appearance: Lady Nagant shows up in chapter 9 as an underground contact and old friend of All Might's.
- Adaptational Heroism: Since All Might was there to help her, Lady Nagant never got jailed in Tartarus nor come into contact with the League of Villains.
- Adaptation Personality Change: Izuku is reimagined as a Blood Knight Gadgeteer Genius due to having the psychic energy of an entire Ork tribe as his Quirk.
- Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: Izuku is still close with All Might, but is unaware of One for All. All Might is fond yet sometimes exasperated by Izuku's antics.
- Adaptational Superpower Change: Izuku uses the power of the WAAAGH and Ork tech instead of One for All.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Inko Midoriya is as nurturing as she is unflappable. When two villains break into her home with the intent of murdering her, she calmly asks that they either fix her door and leave, wait for the police, or try their luck against the nine auto-turrets she just activated. Later, when she's made the supervisor of the U.A. dorms, she makes the most amazingly delicious confectionaries any of the students have ever eaten before warning them that if they attempt to peek on anyone in the bathrooms, she won’t hesitate to show that her ‘minor’ telekinesis Quirk works on both internal organs and extremities.
- Beyond the Impossible: Izuku's inventions are this since they run on Ork WAAAGH power. Attempts by Power Loader to understand how his technology works has proven unsuccessful, to say the least.
- BFG: Midoriya's arsenal includes quite a few of these.
- Big "WHAT?!": Izuku's reaction when Bakugo is quickly defeated by Shinso in the tournament.
- Blood Knight: Izuku is a lot more fight happy in this story thanks to his Quirk giving him the characteristic bloodlust of 40K's Orks.
- But for Me, It Was Tuesday: Monoma yells at Izuku for "attacking him out of the blue for no reason", only for Izuku to ask him to narrow it down. When Monoma then insists Izuku kneed him in the groin, Izuku still needs it narrowed down further, though he sounds vaguely apologetic about not remembering.
- Butt-Monkey: Mineta is this here just like in canon, but he’s got it worse here, somehow. Usually thanks to Izuku somehow in one form or another.
- Chekhov's Gun: During the Entrance Exam, Izuku takes control of one bot and decides to steal it for himself. He pulls it out for the Tower Defense event, now Orkified and ready to attack the other bots.
- The Chew Toy: Mineta again. He usually suffers and get humiliated, sometimes even by his own actions, mostly thanks to Izuku's antics.
- Clap Your Hands If You Believe: Izuku's inventions work and are held together mostly because Izuku believes they will, and they stop working far enough away from him/when someone else uses them. Furthermore, outside objects follow Izuku's rules in his presence - for instance, Jirou runs faster in the Quirk Assessment Test because she's wearing red shoes like Izuku.
- Creepy Good: Izuku's eyes are bright red, he lives to fight, and tends to cause collateral damage everywhere he goes. In spite of this, Izuku's desire to be a Hero is completely genuine.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Bakugo's "fight" with Shinso ends as soon as it begins, with the latter catching the former with his Quirk and having him walk out of the ring.
- Death Glare: When Monoma tries to boast about Bakugo's loss against Shinso, Izuku's answering glare is so fierce that he instead quietly slinks back to his seat mid-sentence.
- Denied Food as Punishment: When Izuku was building a nuke out of a bunch of parts he found, Inko threatened to never make Izuku katsudon ever again to get him to stop.
- Destination Defenestration: When Izuku throws a bomb at Bakugou’s feet during the Heroes vs. Villains exercise, Bakugou chucks himself out of the building they are fighting inside through one of its windows.
- Didn't Think This Through: All Might and Inko prevent Izuku from bringing any lethal firearms to the U.A. entrance exam even though the exam is fighting robots (something All Might knew but Inko didn't). As a result, none of Izuku's weapons are remotely effective and he's forced to improvise.
- Dumbass Has a Point: Izuku is functionally an Ork with all the mental faculties that entails, but points out that Momo's Quirk can't be using her fat to build things because her weight hasn't visibly changed after everything she made during the Quirk Assessment Test. He also responds to Tsuyu's insistence on being called Tsu-chan by pointing out that if she calls others what she wants, she'll have to accept them doing the same to her.
- Fastball Special: Izuku uses Mineta as an improvised grappling hook for one of his big guns to get around an obstacle in the Sports Festival.
- Fingore: Shigaraki gets his index and middle fingers bitten off by Izuku at the USJ, necessitating the use of a regeneration Quirk to restore them afterwards.
- Genius Ditz: Izuku has the mentality of an Ork. He talks oddly, struggles with math, fights anyone at the drop of a hat, and is a Gadgeteer Genius who can make a subspace pocket out of a bicycle light.
- Hyperspace Arsenal: Izuku's weapons are often bigger than he is and even the ones that aren't are far too big to fit on his person. But because he has a subspace pocket, they all fit comfortably inside his various pockets.
- I Need a Freaking Drink: Exaggerated Trope. Power Loader, after trying and failing to understand Ork tech. Toshinori offhandly mentioned and explained he's already drinking enough for the whole faculty.
- Improvised Weapon: Practically all of Izuku's weapons are cobbled together from various bits and pieces of junk and held together by the power of the WAAAGH.
- Innocently Insensitive: When Hitoshi tries to give his canon declaration of war, Izuku first ignores him then confusedly asks where he came from when Hitoshi yells at him. This is because Hitoshi has purple hair which, due to how Izuku's Quirk works, makes him extremely stealthy to Izuku. Naturally, Hitoshi misinterprets it as Izuku thinking him "not important enough to listen to".
- Internal Reveal: All Might finds out that Tomura Shigaraki is Nana Shimura's grandson after the USJ.
- In Spite of a Nail:
- Despite having a vastly different personality, Izuku still views Bakugou as his best friend. Rather than being oblivious to Bakugou's bullying, it's because Izuku has the mentality of an Ork and thinks "Splodey-boy is dead funny" to fight.
- Even though Izuku displays a fair amount of skill at using his Quirk during the entrance exam, Aizawa still erases it during the Quirk Assessment Test. Unfortunately for Aizawa, said Quirk is the psychic energy of an entire tribe of Orks and punches him in the face for "telling it what to do".
- The first event of the Sports Festival is an obstacle race that Izuku wins.
- Jekyll & Hyde: Izuku's Quirk has given him the mentality and personality of an Ork. When Aizawa erases his Quirk, Izuku's back to being a nervous stuttering mess (if only briefly).
- Jerkass Has a Point: Kaina certainly doesn't like Endeavor, but she does admit to Shoto that he's right when he says his son won't get far if he keeps holding back like he has.
- Laughing Mad: Izuku's laugher at surviving Nomu's attempt to kill him with a single punch during the USJ attack is described as "completely unburdened by such paltry things as reason or sanity".
- Man Bites Man: Izuku bites off Shigaraki's index and middle fingers before crushing them into paste underfoot after All Might arrives at the USJ.
- The Masochism Tango: A friendship version. Izuku, Because he thinks like an Ork, considers Bakugou one of his greatest friends and considers Shoto a Worthy Opponent of a rival. The latter two don’t like Izuku much, and Bakugou in specific loves to yell about how he is going to kill Deku.
- More Dakka: Of course! It wouldn't be an Ork fic without the Dakka.
- Mugging the Monster:
- The Sludge Villain tried to attack Izuku and use his body as a puppet. Izuku retaliates with one of his shootas.
- A trio of random thugs attempt to mug Toshinori Yagi. Luckily for them, he's out of time for the day and can't transform into All Might. Unluckily for them, Izuku is nearby and smashes them himself.
- Later, a pair of criminals try to murder Inko. When they refuse her insistence that they politely leave (and fix the door they broke), she presses a little red button that causes nine minigun turrets to pop out of various locations. Inko then warns them that they're merely the least lethal security measure her home has.
- Noodle Incident: Izuku is the usual offender. Which included;
- Building a portal because he wanted to travel to other realities to find out if other "hims" could give him a fun fight, but instead went to a dark foggy place filled with "big shady birds" (implied to be daemons of Tzeentch) by his words after reading some comic books when he was 11.
- Trying to build a nuke from scratch after watching some action movies before Inko put a stop by threaten him to withhold katsudon for the rest of his life when he was eight, but she still doesn't know where he got the uranium from.
- Oh, Crap!: Several times from various characters when Izuku pulls out the heavy artillery.
- The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Shoto teams up with Izuku during the second event of the Sports Festival so he can crush him during the tournament.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Whenever Izuku drops his Ork accent and speaks normally. More often than not, he's pissed off at someone.
- Outside-the-Box Tactic: How Inko describes her son's way of thinking.
- Poke in the Third Eye: The WAAAGH does not play nicely with Quirks that affect people's minds or erases Quirks. Aizawa ends up with a black eye when he erases Izuku's Quirk, and Shinsou ends up decked in the face. These are kinder fates than what happened to Izuku's childhood psychologist, whose head exploded from telepathically interfacing with Izuku.
- Power Armor: Izuku unveils his own cobbled together set during the attack on the USJ.
- Pragmatic Villainy: All For One chastises Shigaraki for attacking Inko Midoriya because breaking the unspoken rule of villainy and attacking someone's family is never truly worth the hassle it causes. Rather than frighten people, such things instead anger them into escalating further, and frankly, neither Shigaraki nor the League of Villains is strong enough to withstand such retaliation at the moment.
- Properly Paranoid: Bakugou may still hate Izuku, but his familiarity with Izuku reflects in his performance when Izuku throws a bomb at his feet (i.e. immediately jump out of the window). Considering that the bomb causes the rest of the damaged building to collapse, Bakugou is right to be cautious of anything Izuku uses.
- Running Gag:
- Power Loader's drinking problem to deal with Izuku's inventions being constantly mentioned.
- Sanity Slippage: Power Loader almost goes crazy after trying and failing to understand Ork technology.
- Seen It All: Inko is so used to Izuku's antics ever since his Quirk developed that her response to Izuku firing his Hand Cannon into the ceiling several times is to gently scold him for shooting at the dinner table. Likewise, she doesn't react at all to the various explosions that occur regularly in Izuku's room.
- Selective Obliviousness: Due to the nature of the WAAGH, Izuku finds it incredibly difficult to perceive Mineta and Shinsou due to their purple hair.
- Shout-Out: Izuku's response to Shigaraki's Nomu failing to kill him inside his Mega Armor is lifted directly from Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine.Izuku: I ain't so easy to kill.
- Simple-Minded Wisdom: Izuku isn't exactly all there in the head, but he's capable of making simple yet frighteningly prescient insights when the situation demands it.
- For example, he sends Uraraka and Tsuyu after Kinoko Komori's team during the Sports Festival’s tower defense segment because, as he points out to his team, if Kinoko’s Quirk allows her to grow mushrooms anywhere she wants, there's nothing stopping her from planting them on a human to immobilize, blind, or even asphyxiate them.
- Earlier, he notes that Momo's quirk can't possibly be converting her fat into objects as she's nowhere near fat enough to do so, nor does her weight visibly change after making an electric scooter.
- Supreme Chef: Inko's baked goods are apparently absolutely amazing, with Momo insisting all the award-winning confectioneries she'd eaten from world famous bakers tasted like dirt in comparison and Sato deciding to seek her out for pointers.
- Targeted to Hurt the Hero: Shigaraki orders two villains to attack the Midoriya apartment in response to Izuku biting off two of his fingers. The villains did not bring enough dakka for the job.
- Tranquil Fury: A happy Izuku is very loud and boisterous, as is a sad, confused, or irritated Izuku. But a truly angry Izuku talks quietly, calmly, and without a hint of his normal accent.
- Walking Armory: Midoriya, again.
- What If?: In the Chapter 11 omake, Izuku's rokkit obliterates an Eldar pleasure cult after drifting through space for an indeterminate amount of time. The Aeldari government then uses that incident as a sign that the Aeldari gods had sent the rokkit to punish the Eldar for their growing arrogance and depravity, which kickstarts a cultural revolution as they adopt a more moderate and restrained way of life while purging their empire of the pleasure cults. As a result, Slaanesh is denied the chance to ever come into existence since the sharp drop in excess pleasures basically smothered them in their crib, depriving the Chaos Gods of another member in their ranks.
- What the Hell, Hero?: After learning Shoto's reasoning for never using his fire, Izuku calls him out (accent free) for "choosing spite over what really matters."
- Worthy Opponent: In one of the Omakes, Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka accidentally invades the MHA Earth, only to find Izuku. After duking it out for four days straight, the Ork Warboss decides Izuku makes for a great enemy to fight, comparing him to his favorite enemy Yarrick.
