History Fanfic / AssassinationAcademia

* WrongAssumption: Iida comes to one in ''To Become A Hero'' with Izuku's costume. He believes its a tactic to instil fear considering Izuku helped kill Korosensei. When in actuality, it is Izuku honouring him and following his legacy.

* ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: Shinsou was the one to gauge [[SadistTeacher Akira Takaoka]] true nature almost immediately due to his experience with dodgy foster homes. Shinsou is also shown to be usually perceptive of people's true nature and whenever he does make judgements of people, they are usually quite accurate. [[spoiler: He also notices that Overhaul is an[[AbusiveParents abusive guardian to Eri]] from their brief encounter.]]

* InSpiteOfANail: Bakugou still manages to get with an altercation with Slime villain. This time however, he is saved by Korosensei, Okuda, Izuku, Karma, Nagisa, Hitoshi, Sugino and Kanzaki. The latter of which the Slime Villain [[MythologyGag originally intended to trap. ]] Izuku still helps Ochako during an exam, though she is a student in Class 3-B at Kunugigaoka.

* HeroicSeductress: Irina/ Bitch-Sensai plays into this and FemmeFatale on account of being an assassin but works extensively alongside heroes. [[spoiler: Especially in the sequel.]] Along with the rest of the Honeypot Trio. Shinsou is a rare male example though admittedly he was almost quite literally [[JustForPun drag]]ged into being one.

* OddFriendship: Karma and Izuku can be this at times, with Karma being a mischievous troll and bully hunter and Izuku a slightly nervous and analytical person. However, both are also friends with Shinsou and Nagisa and are TheAce in their own respective rights. Both acknowledge each other traits and [[JustForPun quirks]] and make the best of them, having immense respect for each other. Izuku also challenges Karma to remind him to keep in check [[spoiler: especially after he starts to taunt Shouto.]]

* BestFriendsInLaw: [[spoiler: On account of the tags spoiling the relationships between characters. But additionally with the reveal Karma is a Todoroki(Shouto's twin). With Izuku and Shouto eventually getting together will make Izuku and Karma brothers-in-law. ]]

** '''Chapter 11: To Fight Each Other''' : [[spoiler: [[UnreliableNarrator Shiro]] tells Izuku that Korosensei killed Yukimura. Izuku makes his move attacking Korosensei with the tentacles creating a ring of fire making it seems impassable. Karma steps up and claims he can handle it and controls the temperature of the flames, revealing his true quirk which [[IKnewIt distracts Izuku for a second]] before allowing Shinsou an opening to make a BigDamnKiss and let Korosensei remove the tentacles. Korosensei tells his past and along with being the best assassin in the world also reveals he was Quirkless. Izuku spends his time in the hospital recovering and also dealing with the fallout of Karma lying about his quirk. Shinsou and Izuku reconcile at the hospital as [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Shinsou opens up about his scars and the fact his father Toshio is in a coma to Izuku and oh yeah Asano was once his father's best friend.]] Izuku reckons with what it means to be a hero from both Lovro and Korosensei. Nagisa and Karma fall out over whether to save or kill Korosensei but also over their quirks. Karma with lying about his and Nagisa over potentially unintentionally manipulating them. The Class is split with Izuku and Shinsou choosing sides. Izuku suggests to Nagisa how he can win, with Shinsou and Izuku confronting one another.]]

* IKnewIt: Izuku has this reaction when he sees [[spoiler: Karma using a quirk that is not Innante Capability and that he was lying about it. ]]

* NotDistractedByTheSexy: {{Justified}} with Hitoshi Shinsou as he is both explicitly queer and has a much more powerful brainwashing quirk than Irina's HoneyTrap which is why people are usually attracted to her. In fact it's this that drives Irina into becoming his mentor, [[HilarityEnsues much to his dismay.]]

* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Isogai as Agent President is this. [[spoiler: Earlier in ''To Become a Hero'' with the reputation of END being at all-time low, people still find Isogai charming and he has amassed a good following of both fangirls and boys. ]]

* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler: All for One has yet to even show in the story properly yet and without him the entire series would not be possible. In the first instalment while he never even showed up and the only clue to his involvement was Shiro revealing the Reaper's new form as a Nomu. His role in his involvement is slightly expanded in the sequel as it is discovered he helped fund Shiro's research, which led to Korosensai and the destruction of the moon. But also the experiments on Izuku and Itone Horibe, the former of which helped Izuku adapt and gain powers of superspeed and kinetic vision. The very establishment of Class 3-E/END can also be traced back to him.]] That's not even considering his canon actions.
** Due to their AdaptationalEarlyAppearance [[spoiler: the failure to even help Eri is this to Izuku which drives him further to use the tentacles. ]]

* StalkerWithoutACrush: A weirdly reciprocated example. [[spoiler: After discovering that his father is Endevor and his brother is Shouto Todoroki, Karma follows a lot of what Shouto does and it's implied he looked into the Todoroki family background as well considering his interactions with Enji. Karma has watched Shouto's performance during the verses battles, the USJ incident, listen to Shouto and Izuku at the Sports Festival and even came out once Shouto touched a BerserkButton and even contacted Shouto to come to his location under the guise of Izuku when observing Stain and Iida.]] [[spoiler: However because of how obvious Karma makes it, it has caught Shouto's attention along with Izuku reprimanding his by using his first name in front of him. With just that Shouto is able to find out his full name and do research on Karma in his own time, due to believing him to be Haruji. (He's right)]]
* SternTeacher: Lovro is this to Izuku.

* TeamDad: Karasuma as per usual.
* TheAce: Karma.

-->[[spoiler: ''' Top Ten Scariest Things About END Published by HeroFeed''' ''Number 4. They call him Agent Devil. He looks like the devil.'' ]]
* TheNicknamer: Both Karma and Hitoshi are this.

** Chapter 8 ''To Save The World'' [[spoiler: Izuku has tentacles thanks to Shiro and has been in pain for a while.]]

* WeaponBasedCharacterization: Shinsou's modified yoyos later puppet-style capture rings reflect his grasp and hold onto people as a puppetmaster but also his admiration for Eraserhead and his own capture weapons. They become his signature weapons though Shinsou is trained in others he prefers these. They can also reflect his tutelage with Korosensei and his tentacles as well as Shinsou was inspired by his fight with Itona to create them.
* WhamEpisode: A few to be fair.
** '''Chapter 8: To Fail to Protect Them''' of ''To Save The World'': [[spoiler: This entire chapter is just a TraumaCongaLine for both Hitoshi and Izuku. [[TheReveal It is revealed]] what really happened when Shiro temporarily kidnapped Izuku, [[FreezeFrameBonus the brief encounter with Shiro in chapter 4 jabbing Izuku with a needle]] turns out to be with tentacle like Itona due to [[VillainTakesAnInterest Shiro reading his potential as 99%.]] Shiro elaborates on how quirks fight off tentacles which was why Itona was in such pain and how Izuku doesn't have one won't as much. Izuku suffers in silence in the meantime with the tentacles urging him all the while. To make it worse they encounter Eri during this time which neither Izuku nor Shinsou can do anything to help her. Eri is also associated with Mr. Matsukata preschool due to her grandfather and despite Izuku's best efforts, he can't find Eri. Shinsou is kidnapped by The Reaper along [[AdaptationalHeroism with Irina who isn't willingly working with him in his verse]] and endures ColdBloodedTorture at his hands, losing a tooth due to The Reaper's ability and [[ScarsAreForever gains permanent scars from the experience.]] Izuku's interactions as well with his mother, Inko, while well- meaning, unintentionally cut close at Izuku's insecurities. When asked by Korosensei what he wants to be. Izuku in pain, smiles and says [[MeaningfulEcho “I want to be a hero.”]] ]]

** '''[[DoubleMeaning Chapter 13: To Prepare for the End]]'''. Oh boy this chapter is that. Along with [[spoiler: foreshadowing for the Emergency National Defence (END)]] due to the actions of this chapter. The chapter opens with a calm before the storm, the class looking over pictures of the past year and talking with Korosensei directly. Then [[spoiler: the heroes and government act with the Shield of Earth and Spear of Heaven . The World now knows about Class 3-E and the fact the Tentacle were teaching them and mob them with questions which Shinsou manages to get them away. They confront Karasuma about the situation and Class 3-E plans to raid the mountain. Public opinion changes from sympathetic to hostile towards 3-E as witnesses come up including [[SmallRoleBigImpact Inasa]] denouncing them. The Raid goes ahead and heroes go down like flies with the planning involved. Apart from Eraserhead who is wise to Izuku and Shinsou's tricks and they have to confront face to face and Izuku defeats him with a stun-clap and axe kicking him. They reunite with Korosensei who makes it clear this is it for him. Trying to light the mood they try and celebrate his birthday when Shiro and The Reaper crash the party. Shiro reveals his experiments on [[WasOnceAMan The Reaper]] and declares him to be a perfect soldier, [[ConnectedAllAlong a Nomu.]] Korosensei and The Reaper fight with The Reaper initially having the upper-hand but Korosensei turning the tide of battle in his favour. Izuku fires his gun at The Reaper , drawing attention to him, Izuku is nearly killed by The Reaper's CombatTentacles but is saved by Shinsou. Shinsou starts to fight The Reaper but unbeknownst to him a tentacle starts to sneak behind him. Izuku notices and without hesitation [[TakingTheBullet shoves him out of the way]] [[HeroicSacrifice saving Shinsou but unable to save himself.]] [[TheHeroDies Dying in the process.]] ]]

--> [[spoiler: '''Korosensei''': [[MeaningfulEcho I knew what happened to those God did not create equal.” ]][[note]] Izuku says the exact same phrase at the start of My Hero Academia establishing he [[UnSorcerer Quirkless]] [[/note]] “That’s right, boys and girls. Before I became what I am today, I was quirkless.” ]]

-->[[spoiler: '''Karma''': “Like I said, I wasn’t supposed to exist. Only he was.”]]
** ''Chapter 13 To Prepare for the End'''. [[spoiler: Is on for the readers and that Shiro's actions were funded by [[GreaterScopeVillain All For One this entire time.]] and despite his non presence in ''To Save The World'' was [[SmallRoleBigImpact critical for nearly all of it.]] ]]

* WhamShot: Chapter 12: To Go Above and Beyond [[spoiler: Karma shares this with a photo of two babies. One of Karma as a young baby and while the other not named is obviously is Todoroki Shouto with his half-red and half-white hair.]]

* WrongAssumption: Iida comes to one in To Become A Hero with Izuku's costumes believing its a tactic to instill fear and that Izuku helped killed Korosensei. When in actuality it is Izuku honouring him and following his legacy.

** Ashido Mina even shows up at a Festival and announces [[DramaticIrony she is going to defeat the Tentacle one day to Shinsou and Izuku.]]

* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler: Nagisa mother is not redeemed or atones in this.
** The assassins on the island are notable as the poison give to half the class is actually fatal.[[note]] In the original the assassins had reservations about targeting kids and their reputations and thus weren't in real danger [[/note]] Grip even reappears in ''To Become A Hero'' as an associate with the League of Villains though to his credit does not give them any more information about END when asked.]]

* ColdBloodedTorture: [[spoiler: Hitoshi and Bitch-sensai but mainly Hitoshi]] is on the receiving end of this thanks to the Reaper.

* DrivenToSuicide: Par for Asano's backstory with one of his original students. But also [[spoiler: he also did this to the man who tried to make [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccidentShinsou's parents death look like an accident. ]]]]

* FiveSecondForeshadowing: Shouto is confused at what took Izuku so long and why he wasn't in the alley when Stain started attacking and later in the fight, [[MythologyGag Shouto reveals Izuku sent him a text with his location on it]]. Except here, Izuku never sent his location and is confused. [[spoiler:Cue Karma from the shadows on the roof joining the fight and laters reveals he hacked Izuku's phone to get Shouto to the location.]]

** For [[spoiler: Karma]] and his true identity. He states early on that he is [[spoiler: adopted and doesn't really use his surname, preferring his first name. His hair disaster in which he accidentally used a shampoo that got rid of his hair dye and displayed an unusual hair colour combination (red and white), his inconsistent usage with his quirk ''innate capability'', which Izuku notes a few times in his notebook. On the island with Grip the temperature dropped when Grip mentioned he might have a fire quirk, his results on exams and Midoriya's general thoughts on his quirk.]] All this culminates when he uses his true quirk to [[spoiler: help save Izku and shows a picture to Izuku and Hitoshi confirming he is the youngest son of Endeavour in this series and Shouto's twin.]]

* ForgottenFirstMeeting: Karma meet Kirishima incredibly briefly in a side story in ''The Classified Files'' and Karma recommends hair dyes for him and for a while Kirishima doesn't remember Karma but knows he is familiar. [[spoiler: ''In to Become a Hero'' this becomes incredibly relevant as [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom Kirishima]] recalls the meeting and says so in front of everyone, including Shouto. This was the last straw for Shouto in, concluding Karma was his long lost twin brother and makes it clear to Izuku he is going to confront him about it....It doesn't end well. ]]
* FreezeFrameBonus: An incredible brief but incredibly important one in Chapter [[spoiler: 4]] To Save the World that doesn't seem like anything much but plays a major role later. [[spoiler: It is the moment where Shiro takes an interest in Izuku directly and injects him with Tentacles.]]

* GoodAllAlong: Good is a stretch but Asano Sr as per his canon self, surprisingly [[spoiler: his concerns for Shinsou were masked by his his antagonism and Shinsou understandably misunderstanding his intentions for him. But Asano Sr plays a role in supporting Shinsou later in the story and reveals he was originally friends with his father. ]]

** [[spoiler: Karma also does this for Shouto in spite of everything they went through. ]]

* IHaveMyWays: Karma when he learns that Bakugou might blab about Korosensei. [[LaserGuidedAmnesia Even after Maehara erases Bakugou's memories of the event]]. Karma still knocks him into unconsciousness.

** Izuku also goes through one when he [[spoiler: discovers that Korosensei "killed" Yukimura Aguri from [[UnreliableNarrator Shiro.]]]]

* LivingShadow: In addition to Dark Shadow. Hazama Kirara is this.

* ManipulativeBastard: Gakuhou Asano (Shinsou even calls him that) but also Nedzu.

* MeaningfulRename: [[spoiler: Karma's already suited due to his nature as a BullyHunter but even more so when considering he is the youngest of Endeavour who is presumed stillborn and dead. Karma's interactions with Enjii often serve to put him in his place as Karma acknowledges that he might never be able to be a Number One Hero due to having a "weak quirk" like Thermostat. He can still quell or boost flame/ice and defeat Endeavour.]] His codename is also very meaningful. [[spoiler: [[NamesToRunAwayFrom Agent Devil]] fitting his [[{{Troll}} mischievous side ]] but also hitting of his parentage as Endeavour quirk is "Hellfire" and Devils are often born from it.]] Additionally, on top of all of that. [[spoiler: While in the midst of [[HeroicSacrifice saving Shouto from the League of Villains ]], he introduces himself as The Rescue Hero Gambit. [[BatmanGambit Something Karma is fond of using]] but also demonstrating despite everything Karma might potray about himself he still cares for people even Shouto.]]
* MundaneMadeAwesome: Also lends with BoringButPractical but [[spoiler: Karma's true quirk is this]]. Thermostat is a power that allows one to control temperature, either from hot to cold and can boost or quell to their desire. It is even implied the user themself body temperature is perfectly regulated. That's it. It's not a particularly flashy or "heroic" quirk in battle and this is even noted by the user themself. However since this is [[spoiler: Karma]] we are talking about, he uses this quirk to his every advantage along with his pre-existing skills and demonstrating its true versatility and incredible practicality. He is able to handle [[spoiler: Endeavour, Shouto, Bakugou and Dabi's quirks by nullifying them. He is able to save members of Class 1-A and 1-B when the mountain is attacked and while he can't put out the fire completely, he is able to create an area around them that is fireproof and uses it to get people out of the situation. Generally his immunity to both fire and ice users allows Karma to handle either user with ease and efficency.]]

* MyGreatestFailure: Irina discusses to Shinsou [[spoiler: she will regret the incident with The Reaper and his torture and getting brainwashed to her grave.]]

* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler: Nagisa mother is not redeemed or atones in this. The assassins on the island are notable as the poison give to half the class is really actually fatal.[[note]] In the original the assassins had reservations about targeting kids and their reputations and thus weren't in real danger [[/note]] Grip even reappears in ''To Become A Hero'' as an associate with the League of Villains though to his credit does not give them any more information about END when asked.]]

* AlternateUniverse: As it is a crossover. The events of Assassination Classroom takes place in the universe of My Hero Academia but pre the events of the main story as both worlds are integrated with each other. Class 3-E and the rest of the cast are given quirks however, fitting the theme of 3-E are sometimes not regarded as 'strong' and with Terasaka's gang having visible mutations. Korosensei role in destroying the moon plays a major role in the universe as establishing him as the Number 1 Villain.

ArmorPiercingQuestion: Even prior to the WhamLine response given above. Shouto asks [[spoiler: Karma this who still views the situation as ParentalAbadonment.]]

* AxCrazy: Several characters are this. [[SadistTeacher Akira Takaoka]] is this. Karma plays into this tropes and maintains a [[spoiler: public perception after he becomes the leader of END and often brutally takes down targets and enemies, presenting himself in a terrifying light to outsiders. ]]
* AwesomeByAnalysis: Korosensei, Izuku and Karma all have this as befitting their cannon selves. [[spoiler: In Karma's case to the extent it allows him to fake a quirk for a long time in the first instalment but also pointing out the poison delay with Izuku. He also suggests to the others at the end of ''To Save The World'' why Nezu kept Izuku in Class 1-A specifically. ]]

* BatmanGrabsAGun: [[spoiler: While END do use guns and knives, they focus on paralysing and subduing their targets first rather than killing them even Karma is this. But Karma is the first and only main END member to wield actual guns and knives when push comes to shove, especially after discovering that their paralysing agents don't work on the villains' thanks to an encounter with Hitoshi which allowed them to create an antidote to counter END. Even still Karma still focuses on non-lethal subduing.]]
* BestFriendsInLaw: [[spoiler: On account of the tags spoiling the relationships between character. But additionally, the reveal Karma is a Todoroki, specifically Shouto's twin. Izuku and Karma will possibly be this as Izuku and Shouto will eventually get together with Izuku and Karma becoming brothers-in-law. ]]
* BigDamnHeroes: Class 3-E loves using this trope from all members of the class from the staff like Korosensei and Karasuma and the class themselves.

* BlatantLies : [[spoiler: Karma's "quirk" Inate Capability is this and every time he tries to state his intelligence is thanks to this. When in reality, Karma is AwesomeByAnalysis. Though its {{Justified}} since Karma was forced to hide aspects about himself, including his name, hair and quirk. ]]
* BloodKnight: Karma is certainly this.[[spoiler: In to Become a Hero he even plays this up in front of Class 1-A who explain that most of them don't want to be government agents and rather have normal professions. Karma contrasts that with a smile on his face and beating the crap out of a mook from the League of Villains.]]

* BullyHunter: Karma as per his canon self but Shinsou as has shades of this as it is why he is in Class 3-E despite his grades and quirk as he used his quirk on one of the Five Virtuosos after Seo Tomoya harassed a girl and he intervened.
* CatFight: One takes place between Midnight and Irina/Bitch-Sensei in To Become a Hero.

* ChekhovsGag: Early in ''To Save the World.'' With Karma consequently having a BadHairDay after Korosensei's shampoo gets rid of his dye and shows off [[CosmeticCatastrophe an embarrassing hair colour]]. The hair colour resembles a santa hat, with mostly red hair but the tips of the hair being white. [[spoiler: It's his actual hair colour. Turns out this is part of his StrongFamilyResemblance with the Todoroki's and {{Foreshadowing}} his connections with them. ]]

* ChivalrousPervert: Korosensei and Okajima who while may be incredibly perverted at times [[EveryoneHasStandards They still have express standards about how they hold themselves.]] For Korosensei in particular between being viewed as a pervert and having Class 3-E respect. He rather have their respect. It how they figure out out that he was being framed by Shiro. {{Averted}} completely with Mineta.

* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler: Kayano Kaede doesn't exist in this verse and Izuku largely takes her place. This includes her arc with the tentacles and her temporary death as the hands of The Reaper.]]
* ConnectedAllAlong: Oh boy where to start? For one Korosensei and Shiro's experiments in general are connected [[spoiler: with [[BigBad All for One]] due to the Nomu connection]]. And [[RuleofSymbolism secondly ]] it turns out [[spoiler: Karma is a Todoroki in particular Shouto's twin that was never supposed to exist after hints surrounding the fact he was adopted, his quirk having discrepancies and his true hair colour.]]
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Karma and stuffing wasabi up people's noses. He done it to Grip and he done it to [[spoiler: Endeavor, his own father. ]]
* ConvenientComa: Hitoshi's father, Toshio is in one. [[spoiler: It turns out Asano discovered that someone was deliberately paid to try and murder him and his wife.]]

* DiesWideOpen: [[spoiler: Izuku in in the penultimate chapter of ''To Save The World'' at the hands of The Reaper. [[CameBackStrong He got better, though.]] ]]
* {{Determinator}}: Everyone in Class 3-E is this but special shoutout goes to Shinsou, Midoriya and Karma in particular.

** Izuku about being called a hero by others which he doesn't think would be possible without Korosensei destroying the moon in the first place. [[InSpiteOfANail But even that idea is funny considering how in canon Izuku did become a hero.]]

** [[spoiler: Endeavour is a major opponent to END mainly due to [[{{Troll}} Karma]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext stuffing wasabi up his nose and beating him up.]] However, unbeknownst to Endeavour not only is Karma a major proponent of END as [[MeaningfulName Agent Devil]] and its main commander known as TheAce among his peers and at the top of his school achieving number one in ways Endeavor never could. Karma is also his [[LongLostRelative son]] ]]
* DrivenToSuicide: Par for Asano's backstory with one of his original students. But also [[spoiler: He also did this to the man who tried to make Shinsou's parents death MakeItLookLikeAnAccident]]

* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Isogai as Agent President is this. [[spoiler: Even with the reputation of END being at all-time low, people find Isogai charming and he has amassed a good following of both fangirls and boys. ]]
* ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: Shinsou was the one to gauge Akira Takaoka true nature almost immediately due to his experience with dodgy foster homes. Shinsou is also shown to be usually perceptive of people and whenever he does make judgements of people, they are usually accurate. [[spoiler: It also allows him to see that Overhaul is an[[AbusiveParents abusive guardian to Eri]] from their brief encounter.]]
* FiveSecondForshadowing: Shouto is confused at what took Izuku so long and why he wasn't in the alley when Stain started attacking and later in the fight, [[MythologyGag Shouto reveals Izuku sent him a text with his location on it]]. Except here Izuku never did such a thing. [[spoiler:Cue Karma from the shadows on the roof joining the fight and laters reveals he hacked Izuku's phone to get Shouto to the location.]]

** Shinsou is also one to Aizawa. Both desire the underground hero route but also in regards to their friendships [[spoiler: Izuku and Obaro. While not stated by WordOfGod. It can be gauged with the fact The Reaper is explicitly one thus by extension Korosensei and all of Shiro's experiments are as well. Including Izuku who could be considered a Nomu like Oboro. Izuku also died in front of Shinsou like Oboro did with Aizawa. Where they differ is Shinsou was able to save Izuku while Aizawa could not save Oboro.]]

** For [[spoiler: Karma]] and his true identity. He states early on he is [[spoiler: adopted and doesn't really use his surname, preferring his first. His hair disaster in which he accidentally used a shampoo that got rid of his hair dye, his inconsistent usage with his quirk ''innate capability'', which Izuku notes a few times, on the island with Grip where the temperature dropped when Grip mentioned he might have a fire quirk, his results on exams and Midoriya's notes.]] All this culminates when he uses his true quirk to [[spoiler: help save Izku and shows a picture to Izuku and Hitoshi confirming he is the youngest son of Endeavour in this series and Shouto's twin.]]

** There is also some about Izuku and [[spoiler: the fact he has tentacles. On the island, despite Izuku taking drinks like the others who got sick, Izuku manages to fight it off, his general fighting abilities in general during the exams and his disconnected behaviour.]]

''Assassination Academia'' is a crossover series between Manga/BokuNoHeroAcademia and Manga/AssassinationClassroom by taetaenoway that places both Midoriya Izuku and Shinsou Hitoshi in Class 3-E at the callous Kunugigaoka Junior High for various reasons. Izuku for being quirkless and Hitoshi's unauthorised use of one.

--> '''Shinsou:''' “No problem, [[spoiler: Uncle Asano!” ]]

* FiveSecondForshadowing: Shouto is confused at what took Izuku so long and why he wasn't in the alley when Stain started attacking and later in the fight, [[MythologyGag Shouto reveals Izuku sent him a text with his location on it]]. Except here Izuku never did such a thing. [[spoiler Cue Karma from the shadows on the roof joining the fight and laters reveals he hacked Izuku's phone to get Shouto to the location. ]]

* AdaptionalRelationshipOverhaul: Karasuma's [[spoiler: entire family dynamic is this. His cousin is Mandaley and his sister is one of the deceased pair Water Hose heroes which makes Kota his nephew. Karasuma himself even went to UA, was a promising alumni at the top of his classes and was a year younger than Aizwaza who he refers as Senpai.]]

-->[[spoiler: '''Shouto''': [[ArmorPiercingResponse “And she chose to save you!”]]]]

** You can also consider Rio Nakamura as whenever it comes to any bet even as outlandish as it might sound, you can count on Rio winning due to networks and how she gathers information to her advantage.

* InTheBlood: For all he can hate about [[spoiler: Endeavor. Karma has certainly inherited many different things included his HotBlooded nature, having AwesomeByAnalysis, ElementalHairColors and displaying GoodIsNotNice traits to others, Karma with being a BloodKnight and Endeavor being Endeavor. Both have resent being AlwaysSecondBest though in Karma's case he does his damnedest to defy that particular label while Enji is stuck to it. ]][[spoiler: Karma also shares a few sociopathic and [[AxeCrazy insanity]] based [[BloodKnight tendencies]] with [[NotQuiteDead Dabi]] as well. ]]

** LethalHarmlessPowers: PlayedForLaughs, but one of the reasons Karasuma has held back on giving Class 3-E permits to allow usage of their quirks in public is due to Karma. Never mind the fact Karma's isn't exactly flashy or bombastic.[[spoiler: Even after knowing Karma's real quirk this still applies.]] Everyone knows and understands no matter what quirk Karma has he can make it into this.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Implied to be the case with Shinsou and Midoriya. [[spoiler: Hitoshi's reaction when Izuku died exemplifies this as Izuku is the closest person he is to. ]]

* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler: Karma]] and his other names as will mention below. His original name was already fairly meaningful. [[spoiler: Harujii which WordOfGod chose due to "Haru" meaning Spring which Spring having varying temperatures which fits Karma's true quirk to a tee and the familial namings of the Todorokis having seasonal/weather names. ''Ji'' meaning second/next which also fits Karma as he was born second and [[ForWantOfANail probably would've been regarded as such if he stayed with the Todorokis.]] It also fits with his father's [[{{Foil}} name "Enji" ]] ]]

* NonActionBigBad: InUniverse an article in ''To Become a Hero'' explores this and what Korosensei's [[spoiler: supposed ]] singular act of villainy blowing up the moon meant. Korosensei never attacked again or hurt civilians after that. And yet that singular act of blowing up the moon made him TheDreaded.

* ChivalrousPervert: Korosensei and Okajima who while may be incredibly perverted at times [[EveryoneHasStandards They still have express standards about how they hold themselves.]] For Korosensei in particular between being viewed as a pevert and having Class 3-E respect. He rather have their respect. It how they figure out out that he was being framed by Shiro. {{Averted}} completely with Mineta.
