YMMV / My Heroes Reborn

• Ass Pull: The author's attempt to nerf Izuku was done on a whim, largely to shock the audience and reintroduce some tension into Izuku's future fights. Much like most swerves, the majority of the readership hated it immediately, forcing the author to backtrack and promise to end the subplot as soon as it made sense plot-wise. She did it during the battle against Muscular.
• Author's Saving Throw: During the Stain arc, Emma Iveli, on a self-admitted whim, attempted to Nerf Izuku to reintroduce some drama into the story that was mitigated by him being so over-powered. This decision proved to be extremely unpopular, as she failed to realize that an over-powered Izuku was one of the story's selling points. Many also felt that trying to introduce a Worf Had the Flu/Forgot About His Powers mechanic at this point was both cheap and pointless, as many of the opponents Izuku will face after Stain will be much stronger than the Serial Killer and pose a challenge for him even at full-strength. As a result, the following chapter saw her admit that the decision was a mistake and promise to end the plotline as soon as it was feasibly possible doing so during the battle against Muscular. In addition, she threw in a Self-Deprecation gag by having Aiko tell Izuku "I really don't get your mental blocks…" during Chapter 44.
• Captain Obvious Reveal:
  • Priestess' latest incarnate is described in Chapter 34 as "a martial artist race car driving paleontologist teacher who became a superhero in his teens". Even though a name wasn't given, it was blatantly obvious that it was Tommy Oliver, as noted by the numerous readers who said as much in the reviews. To the point that this wiki explicitly names him as the past life of the thus far unnamed incarnate and the author didn't even try to deny it.
  • Izuku being born with Conqueror's Haki rather than One for All somehow mimicking it. For one thing, even with the recent revelation in the manga that all the previous users' Quirks are stored in One for All, One for All cannot actually mimic another Quirk on its own, let alone a power from another world. Knowing that, along with the fact that Izuku is Sanji's reincarnation, not Sanji himself, it was fairly obvious how Izuku actually got this ability. Katsuki, being Zoro's reincarnation and thus also familiar with the mechanics of Haki, quickly realizes that, and that the reason why Izuku himself hasn't figured that out is because of his low self-esteem.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Katsuki being the first to realize how Izuku really got Conqueror's Haki became this when, a few weeks later, Chapter 1010 revealed Zoro has it too. Maybe that's how he knew?
• Shocking Moments:
  • Priestess awakening Katsuki Bakugo's Past-Life Memories...and The Reveal that he's Roronoa Zoro's reincarnation.
  • An even more shocking moment is when she awakens the Big Three's Past-Life Memories. While Nejire and Tamaki's past lives are interesting, being Mirajane Strauss and Shikamaru Nara, respectively, the biggest shock of all is Mirio, whose past life is Monkey D. Luffy.
