* BreakTheHaughty: Downplayed. Bakugou's enrollment at UA has been a complete flip on his BigJerkOnCampus middle school experience, leaving him an average Hero Course student set apart only by his significant behavioral issues and frequently being outshone by his former victim, Izuku. Because Bakugou based so much of his ego around the validation he received when others treated him as better than Izuku, this seriously takes a toll on Bakugou's self-esteem.

** The rest of the staff of UA immediately notice the signs that Aizawa has this for Izuku, citing that he was clearly impressed with Izuku right up until the moment All Might went to check on the boy, at which point Aizawa's feedback flipped to become intensely critical of Izuku. His coworkers set to both prevent this from affecting Izuku and reason against Aizawa's bias as best they can. Once they tell him Izuku is registered as Quirkless and they suspect what they just saw was a downplayed TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening due to stress, Aizawa completely changes his tune again. It helps that Recovery Girl recognizes that Izuku's Quirk gives him the potential to heal and thus may make him the first hero healer at UA in decade--and she will ''not'' let Aizawa jeopardize her chance to retire.

** All Might, by contrast, is self-aware that he ''could'' have had this if One For All had manifested in Izuku in any way similar to how it manifested for him. He directly says he's glad it didn't, because he realizes that if One For All manifested apparently similar to his strength, he may have projected how it works for him into a bias towards how it ''should'' work for Izuku--and if it didn't work the same for Izuku, he could have made things worse.

* SwappedRoles: It occurs to Izuku after the Sports Festival that he and Bakugou have done this. At Aldera, Izuku was a social outcast with a nickname that roughly meant "useless" and Bakugou was a popular JerkJock widely supported by students and staff who seems to have everything going for him. At UA, Izuku realizes he's actually popular; everyone in class sans Bakugou likes him, the staff support him, and he has many friends. Meanwhile, Bakugou, since he never actually had to work at being liked or praised before, doesn't change how he interacts with people in accordance with his new environment and winds up a "loner" due to his unpleasant behavior. This reverse of fortune seriously messes with Bakugou's insecurities, as his unquestioned acceptance at Aldera where Izuku was alienated is implied to have been a major reinforcement for his belief that he had worth and Izuku didn't; without that acceptance, Bakugou begins questioning whether ''he's'' worthless.

** Discussed; Monoma feels Awase was dealt this during his battle with Hatsume Mei. Monoma, upset about class 1-A, was eager to see a member of class 1-B easily defeat a member of the support course. But as Awase refused to agree to Hatsume Mei's plans of cooperation, seeing it as an insulting handout, Hatsume instead uses the former as a crash dummy. After spending the entire "fight" being easily managed and played with to Hatsume's ends, Awase's one successful subversion of her will ends up knocking ''himself'' out of the ring unintentionally, making Hatsume the winner--prompting Hatsume to angrily reveal she hadn't been trying to win, which everyone hears. Awase was beaten by someone not in Heroics and not trying to win, which Monoma finds utterly humiliating.

* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Due to the premise of the fic being Izuku getting Gearshift first, the title of every chapter has something to do with driving (Coming Out of Neutral, Carpool Lane) or racing (Zooming Past the Finish Line).

* SwitchingPOV: This story constantly switches the P.O.V. character when describing events, to the point that there tends to be at least 3 different P.O.V.s per chapter. As Izuku is the main character, his P.O.V. is shown the most often, but Bakugou, Ochako, Iida, Momo, and All Might are also fairly common.
