-->Midoriya Izuku is born Quirkless. This is a fact that he hates, detests, abhors for the majority of his adolescence. Kacchan certainly doesn’t help, and neither do the rest of his classmates. Luckily, Izuku accepts his Quirklessness rather elegantly. He doesn’t give up his goal of becoming a hero, mind you, but he does throw himself into his hero research with a newfound vigor.
-->In another universe, Izuku begins his collection of hero notebooks, running to whatever villain fight he can. In another universe, Izuku stands on the sidelines and lives his life, quietly nursing his ambition. In another universe, Izuku unknowingly sets himself on the path that crosses with All Might’s.
-->In this universe, that’s not exactly how it goes.

* TheFettered: Izuku starts out as this, insisting that he should leave problems to the pro heroes because it would be illegal for him to intervene. Kero convinces him that there's no one else who can seal the Sakura Cards, which forces Izuku to act. His morals become looser and looser over the course of the story, to the point that he verges on PragmaticHero in his dealings with criminals by locking them in a room with Shield threatening them with the tip of Sword. He acknowledges this and laments the fact that he's become this way, even though his desire to help others and overall kindness remains.

* ChristmasEpisode: Around Christmas time, Musutafu has a big parade to celebrate the holiday. It's also prone to an event called the "Christmas Curse", in which something strange and unexpected happens every year on Christmas, like a small army of heroes and villains clashing on the rooftops above the city that's mistaken for a UsefulNotes/{{Tokusatsu}} performance or a float lighting on fire and being used to roast marshmallows. Izuku himself ends up being the Christmas Curse when he puts on a show as a favor to an information broker named Plume who helped him find The Shadow.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Izuku is so consumed by his desire to be a hero in any way he can that he simply can't say no when someone asks him for help or makes him an offer. Because of this, he basically becomes Musutafu's errand boy, constantly bouncing from place to place with little time for rest after he became the Cardcaptor and inadvertently makes himself the spirits', faeries', Watanuki's, and Yorihiko's personal gopher. This gets deconstructed over the course of the story, as Izuku soon finds that he's running himself ragged with all of these responsibilities and pulls several all-nighters a week to keep up with them on top of school.
* CoolSword: The Sword [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin takes the form]] of a [[CaptainObvious sword]]. Its magical ability makes the user an [[InstantExpert expert swordsman]] for as long as it remains in hand and the sword itself can [[AbsurdlySharpBlade cut through almost anything]] for as long as Izuku wills it so, including The Shield, The Lock, and The Shadow, though it can't deal much lasting damage to the latter.
* GoodFeelsGood: Izuku wants to be able to help others and be a hero however he can, constantly doing odd jobs for others for the warm, fuzzy feeling he gets for doing them. At least part of this drive is his desire to feel helpful and [[IJustWantToBeSpecial give his life worth]], as he's absolutely miserable when trapped in a GroundhogDayLoop for seven days by Time.
-->"Maybe it’s because Izuku throws himself into helping others without ever looking back. Maybe it’s because the reason he busies himself everywhere and anywhere at once is to keep his mind off the fact that if he ever stops, he won’t be worth anything."
* BornUnlucky: Izuku wonders what he did in his past life to be born Quirkless and drag himself into his chaotic mess of a life.

* IgnoredConfession: Izuku gets captured by the police at one point and tells them in no uncertain terms that he's Quirkless and that he's using magic to make all of his abilities work. He also says that the "fake villain" attacks are not his fault and he's working to contain them as the only one who can. Unfortunately for him, even the open-minded Detective Tsukauchi continues to try to rationalize Izuku's abilities as a Quirk, bringing in Eraserhead to try and subdue him and not taking Izuku's testimony seriously.

[[WellThisIsNotThatTrope This is not that story.]]
Instead of sitting on the sidelines, watching and waiting for any sort of information that could help him become a hero, the Izuku Midoriya of this story is far more proactive. He begins taking note of everything in his hometown of Musutafu. Every alleyway, every store, every ladder. The park, the police station, the libraries, the schools, the soup kitchens and every other hole in the wall imaginable.

This may not have been what Izuku had in mind when he said he wanted to be a hero, but life is good.
But one night, while he's helping Professor Miki translate a Roman tablet that arrived at the university, he sees something glint in the corner of his eye. Reaching inside a crate, he discovers an ornate book filled with strangely detailed cards. Out of curiosity, he reads the name inscribed on the bottom of the first one.
"Windy."
Suddenly, the cards are all ejected from the book by a massive gust of wind, scattering them all throughout the city. Then a little talking plush toy named Kero (who assures Izuku that he's not insane) cheerfully informs him that it's now Izuku's job to collect all 52 Sakura Cards as the newest Cardcaptor.
From there, Izuku's busy yet idyllic life begins to fall to pieces as he's dragged into a world of ancient magic, sleepless nights and some accidental vigilantism.

* AppropriatedAppellation: "Deku" is a name Bakugou gave Izuku to emphasize his uselessness and powerlessness as the sole Quirkless kid in his class. After becoming the Cardcaptor, it becomes his bestowing name and his go-to alias in the magical world. Not long afterward, the name "Deku" makes waves as Japan's newest and most popular vigilante.
* MagicStaff: The Sealing Staff, of course! It's the most powerful magical artifact in existence and the only thing that can seal away the Sakura Cards. It also does double duty as a handy melee weapon when combined with the baton twirling skills Izuku learned from Satoshi.
* OpenSecret: After a certain point in the story, "Deku" is nationally famous for his deeds thanks to social media spreading his name like wildfire. While the authorities struggle to wrap their heads around who exactly "Deku" is, pretty much everyone who knows Izuku instantly figures out it's him and it's only through their faith and trust in him that it remains a secret.
* WrongContextMagic: Izuku's new magical abilities are instantly attributed to a strange Quirk by the authorities, who have obviously never seen magic before. Even after he straight up tells the police that he's Quirkless, they don't buy it and continue to believe that he's using some kind of Quirk.
