"10: Destabilize"
Tropes That Appear In This Chapter:
- A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Played for Laughs. Izuku goes to U.A. to talk to Mae, only for him to get into an argument with Monitor, the AI threatening him with electroshock and refusing to let him into the lower levels unless he apologizes for calling Mae crazy. All of this is happening in front of Melissa Shield, who is meeting both of them for the first time. Of course it becomes less funny when Melissa points out that wiring a self-aware AI program into the internet where is can monitor whatever it wants is in direct violation of international law, not that Mei cares.
- Contagious Powers: Bakugo seems to think that he "caught" whatever Izuku has, not having been informed of his own status as an anomaly at the time.
- Formula for the Unformulable: Izuku's Unluckily Lucky situations have led to Monitor applying "bad luck" as a "physical variable", thinking that his tendency to end up in hero/villain conflicts by accident might be an aspect of his status as an anomaly.
- Gamer Chick: Mei has a thing for vintage RPGs and regularly plays them when she isn't working.
- Ridiculously Human Robots: While Monitor claims to not have feelings that Izuku can hurt, this is only after she gets into an argument with him to try and make him apologize for insulting its "mother" Mei.
