History Fanfic / MasterOfHeroes

* BreakTheCutie: Let's just say dealing with the Incineration of Humanity and the Invasion of the Alien God has left Izuku in a very bitter condition.

* ATrueHero: WordOfGod confirms that Izuku's view of a true hero has shifted from All Might over to Mash, due to the latter [[TakingTheBullet taking the Ars Amadel Saolomonis for Izuku so that her Master could have the chance to defeat Goetia]], and overall showing feats of heroism that eclipse All Might by several orders of magnitude. This also extends to Dr. Roman, for roughly the same reasons, though pushed UpToEleven since the latter [[RetGone Ret-Goned]] himself to put Goetia in the ground.

* CurbstopBattle: Izuku and his Servants vs the UA training bots go decidedly in the former's favor. Higari actually gets annoyed that his bots are getting totally wrecked so fast.

* DiesDifferentInAdaptation: In ''Grand Order'', Beryl ultimately dies from [[spoiler:a combination of having the crap beaten out of him by Chaldea and being inflicted with the Mors curse]]. Here, he had a RasputinianDeath ''solely'' at the hands of [[BewareTheNiceOnes Izuku]].

** WordOfGod has confirmed fan speculation that if Class 1-A and U.A.'s staff ever found out about the events of Grand Order, they would immediately reassure Izuku [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre that he is a hero]] – even Bakugo and Aizawa would get in on it.

* SenpaiKohai: Izuku is the Senpai to Mash's Kohai. In turn, Alpha Team member Akuta Hinako [[spoiler:AKA Consort Yu]] is the Senpai to Izuku's Kohai, having been part of Chaldea for far longer than Izuku had. She's effectively Izuku's HonestAdvisor, as she doesn't have the same type of bond with him that the rest of the servants have, and won't hesitate to tell him the truth when his allies will refuse to do so.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:After some consideration, the author had Pepe end up alive but in a coma in the aftermath of the events of Cosmos in the Lostbelt. Pepe canonically dies in Lostbelt 6 in a HeroicSacrifice to kill Beryl]].

* {{Yandere}}: Due to the nature of her EX-Rank Mad Enhancement, Raikou takes her status as Izuku's "mother" ''very'' seriously, to where outright tries to attack Inko once the latter appears onboard the ''Storm Border''. Thankfully, Inko never realizes that she was the target of said aggression, as a timely intervention by Gawain makes it look like she was targeting ''him'' instead.[[note]]It's been confirmed that if Raikou wasn't in her Berserker form, she'd be ashamed of her actions.[[/note]]

** [[AllThereInTheScript It was confirmed]] that Izuku and Mandricardo ended up bonding almost immediately upon meeting each other, [[{{Irony}} with both of them thinking the other is being way too harsh on themselves.]]

* HeroicSelfDeprecation: The author has confirmed that this Izuku suffers from [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impostor_syndrome Impostor Syndrome]] to a truly horrific degree, utterly incapable of seeing himself as anything other than a fraud who's been riding the coattails of far greater people than himself. It's for this same reason that he also can't fathom the concept that any of the female Servants (or Mash) [[ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe could possibly find him desirable]].

After last updating in late June of 2021, the Spacebattles thread was labelled dead, and when other users tried commenting in August, the thread was locked by moderators. As a result, until [=ThatOnePsycho=] makes a formal request, the thread will remain locked, and in the turn the fic is now considered dormant.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Izuku has never told all but a select few of his Servants that he was bullied by Bakugou back in his homeworld. Justified because some of them are Heroic Spirits of ''Vengeance'' and consider him to be their MoralityChain.
* MarryThemAll: Apparently [[spoiler: Anastasia has plans to this effect for Izuku, according to a side comment by Tomoe Gozen. [[AllThereInTheManual Considering the tags on FFN, there's a fair chance she will succeed.]]]]

* {{Yandere}}: Due to the nature of her EX-Rank Mad Enhancement, Raikou takes her status as Izuku's "mother" ''very'' seriously, to where outright tries to attack Inko once the latter appears onboard the ''Storm Border''. Thankfully, Inko never realizes that she was the target of said aggression, as a timely intervention by Gawain makes it look like she was targeting ''him'' instead.

[[spoiler: Due to the nature of the thread on Spacebattles, with the author [[WordOfGod answering questions]] and releasing additional [[AllThereInTheScript content]], this page may contain spoilers or unknown information for readers who have only checked it out on other sites.]]

* RasputinianDeath: Beryl Gut did not go down easy: [[spoiler:Izuku mentions that he shot him, then stabbed him when he kept coming, his cane was broken clubbing him with it, and he eventually went hand to hand and beat Beryl to death and continued well after his head was caved in. Izuku is [[TheseHandsHaveKilled understandably upset]] by how far he went.]]

* NoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler:Izuku ended up beating Beryl's head in until it was essentially pulped during their final confrontation. Under stable, given that killing Beryl in the first place involved subjecting him to a RasputinianDeath.]]

* ValuesDissonance: This hasn't been brought up in the story, but due to the nature of Quirk-based society, Lostbelt 3, the Sublime Immortal Nation, would actually be more horrifying for the people of MHA-Earth.[[labelnote:For context]]The untranslated word for Quirk in the series is ''Kosei'', which means "individuality". SIN is a world that ''punishes'' people for having too much individuality.[[/labelnote]]

* PromotionToParent: Several of the younger Servants, most notably Jack the Ripper and Jeanne Alter Santa Lily, consider Izuku to be their parent-figure. He's done his best to roll with it.
* RasputinianDeath: Beryl Gut did not go down easy: [[spoiler: Izuku mentions that he shot him, then stabbed him when he kept coming, his cane was broken clubbing him with it, and he eventually went hand to hand and beat Beryl to death and continued well after his head was caved in. Izuku is [[TheseHandsHaveKilled understandably upset]] by how far he went.]]

* MarryThemAll: Apparently [[spoiler: Anastasia has plans to this effect for Izuku, according to a side comment by Tomoe Gozen. [[AllThereInTheManual Considering the tags on FFN, there's a fair chance she succeeds.]]]]

** It's mentioned in a conversation being Izuku and Kintoki that if Raikou were to be summoned into any Class other than Berserker, she would be appropriately horrified by some of the things her Berserker-self has done (such as trying to attack Inko, simply for being Izuku's mother).

* TheHero: {{Exaggerated|Trope}} with Izuku - his Origin literally ''is'' "Hero", and he so heavily defines himself as a hero that he has a ''nervous breakdown'' over things that would suggest he can't be a hero.

** WordOfGod has confirmed fan speculation that if Class 1-A and U.A.'s staff ever found out about the events of Grand Order, they would immediately reassure Izuku [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre that he is a hero]] - even Bakugo and Aizawa would get in on it.

* BlowYouAway: Izuku has an elemental affinity for air, which is explicitly stated to be better than his skill with fire (which amounts to generating sparks).

* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: Izuku absolutely demolished himself over the course of completing ''Grand Order'''s plot, to the point of completely shattering one of his knees due to an impact with Hessian Lobo, which never healed correctly. It's made clear he can barely walk even ''with'' a cane.
* CaneFu: Izuku has used a cane since Shinjuku, and he used his cane to club Beryl to death for all his actions before and during the Lostbelts, which ended up [[WreckedWeapon destroying the cane]]. It's confirmed that Holmes taught him how to do so, and taught him Baritsu as well.
* ChickMagnet: Like Ritsuka Fujimura, Izuku has become the love interest of ''many'' Servants. Included among these are Mash, Hassan of Serenity, Okita (both versions), Anastasia, Jeanne Alter, and more. Caenis has called him a "harem king" due to this, although Da Vinci has told her not to say it in front of Izuku, lest he melt down completely. (It's [[AllThereInTheScript mentioned]] that it was [[{{Troll}} Blackbeard]] who first stuck him with this label.)

** Izuku also personally killed Beryl to avenge Wodime and, more generally, to punish him for all the hell he raised. Afterwards, Izuku's only regret is in how brutal he had been in killing Beryl, not the actual killing itself.

* WordOfGod: The author adds to the story and answers questions about the characters and the background of the story in-between posting chapters, which [[AllThereInTheScript some readers might have missed]] if they didn't read it through Spacebattes. Or read this page.
* WorthyOpponent: Wodime's earnest and heartfelt goal of helping Humanity earned Izuku's respect, and is partly why he hated Beryl so much when he betrayed him in cold blood.

** Izuku also personally killed Beryl to avenge Wodomine and, more generally, to punish him for all the hell he raised. Izuku regrets how brutal he was in killing Beryl, but not the actual deed.
* GodzillaThreshold: It's implied that Izuku had made an agreement with Gilgamesh to never use a Command Spell on the latter for any reason at all. How do we know this? Izuku commands the King of Heroes to unleash Ea via a Command Spell ''for the first and last time'' during the final battle with Beast VII, because the walking apocalypse is a big enough threat to justify said Noble Phantasm's use.
* TheHero: {{Exaggerated|Trope}} with Izuku - his Origin ''is'' Hero, and he so heavily defines himself as a hero that he has a ''nervous breakdown'' over things that would suggest he can't be a hero.

* MarryThemAll: Apparently [[spoiler: Anastasia has plans to this effect for Izuku, according to a side comment by Tomoe Gozen. [[AllThereInTheManual Considering the tags on FFN, there's a fair chance she succeeds]].]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: How Izuku feels about himself after he killed Beryl. It's less that he did the deed and more on how ''brutal and full of malice'' he was when he killed him.

* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: A massively {{Downplayed|Trope}} example, however WordOfGod has confirmed fan speculation that even [[TheTease Midnight]] would squirm in discomfort if/when she were to ever meet [[CombatSadomasochist Kiara]], simply due how absurdly lustful the latter is.
* TragicKeepsake: Izuku has a zippo lighter that he uses to generate sparks for his fire magecraft. It was a gift from Doctor Roman, so he treasures it, to the point of going back to his room when Chaldea was invaded at the start of the Lostbelt Saga just to retrieve it.
* {{Transmutation}}: Izuku has an affinity for this, and his flame generation is actually be closer to [[Manga/FullMetalAlchemist Roy Mustang]]'s style of Alchemy: he transmutes the air into flammable materials and then ignites them using either a lighter or sparks.
* ATrueHero: WordOfGod confirms that Izuku's view of a true hero has shifted from All Might over to Mash, due to the latter [[TakingTheBullet taking the Ars Amadel Saolomonis for Izuku so that her Master could have the chance to defeat Goetia]], and overall showing feats of heroism that eclipse All Might by several orders of magnitude. This also extends to Dr. Roman, for roughly the same reasons, though pushed UpToEleven since the latter {{RetGone}}d himself to put Goetia in the ground.
* ValuesDissonance: This hasn't been brought up in the story, but due to the nature of Quirk based society, Lostbelt 3, the Sublime Immortal Nation, would actually be more horrifying for the people of MHA-Earth.[[labelnote:For context]]The untranslated word for Quirk in the series is ''Kosei'', which means "individuality". SIN is a world that punishes people for having too much individuality.[[/labelnote]]
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Izuku has this toward ''himself'', as due to his extreme Imposter Syndrome, he can't fathom why a girl would be interested in him.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: An extremely {{Exaggerated|Trope}} example, but readers have noted that Izuku's completion of the entire plot of ''Fate/Grand Order'' is this, as he has literally saved the world ''twice'' and fought four different Evils capable of annihilating all of mankind, yet no-one will ever be aware of this.

* ChickMagnet: Like Ritsuka Fujimura, Izuku has become the love interest of ''many'' Servants. Included among these are Mash, Hassan of Serenity, Okita (both versions), Anastasia, Jeanne Alter, and more. Caenis has called him a "harem king" due to this, although Da Vinci has told her not to say it in front of Izuku, lest he melt down completely. (It's [[AllThereInThescript mentioned]] that it was [[{{Troll}} Blackbeard]] who first stuck him with this label.)

* MarryThemAll: Apparently [[spoiler: Anastasia has plans to this effect for Izuku, according to a side comment by Tomoe Gozen.]]

* EveryoneHasStandards: Izuku may be an AllLovingHero, but he outright ''despises'' Kiara and only maintains her summoning because it prevents her from using her Independent Manifestation skill to return to being Beast III-R. It's confirmed that he also straight-up incinerates several Servants (including [[HateSink Columbus]]) as soon as they're summoned for various reasons as well.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: WordOfGod has confirmed fan speculation that if Class 1-A and U.A.'s staff ever found out about the events of Grand Order, they would immediately reassure Izuku [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre that he is a hero]] - even Bakugo and Aizawa would get in on it.

* TragicKeepsake: Izuku has a zippo lighter that he uses to generate sparks for his fire magecraft. It was a gift from Doctor Roman, so he treasures it, to the point of going back to his room when Chaldea was invaded at the start of the Lostbelt Sage just to retrieve it.

* RasputinianDeath: Beryl Gut did not go down easy: [[spoiler: Izuku mentions that he shot him, then stabbed him when he kept coming, his cane was broken clubbing him with it, and he eventually went hand to hand and beat Beryl to death until his head was caved in. Izuku is [[TheseHandsHaveKilled understandably upset]] by how far he went.]]

* AdaptedOut: It was confirmed that the recent addition to [[spoiler:the CastFromLifespan nature of One For All for wielders who already had Quirks]] is not in effect here.
