One day, Principle Nedzu calls up second-year Gen. Ed student Midoriya Izuku to his office. It turns out that, through deduction, the quirkless kid is in-secret the vigilante Null, using his analytical skills to clean up the dark streets of the city. Impressed by the boy's skills, he wishes to take him on as his apprentice. When Izuku refuses to give up his autonomy, Nedzu gives him an offer: play the BigBad in their "Heroes vs. Villains" exam. If he wins, he will be left alone. If he loses, Izuku must give in and become his student. If he abstains entirely, Nedzu submits all of the evidence he has on Null to the cops.

* NotSoDifferentRemark: Izuku helps his team empathizing with Himiko Toga -- a former member of the League of Villains -- by drawing direct comparisons between her and Momo Yaoyorozu; both have quirks that require regular feedings to function properly. Both have received insufficient care to compensate for their quirks, but while Momo is rich and has been able to survive on the minimum (her quirk requiring her to have a high calorie intake Izuku guesstimates around 15000 a day), Himiko came from a lower-middle class family and her quirk being inherently scary (needing regular intake of human blood) resulted in her family not providing for her needs, causing her to develop a [[AxCrazy psychopathic disposition]]. [[ShadowArchetype If Momo's living conditions were less than ideal, she would have ended up just like Himiko.]]
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: For all of his good intentions, All Might is shown to have some quirkist tendencies. On top of his attempt at dissuading Izuku from pursuing a career in heroism, he is the first to object in including him in the "Heroes Vs. Villains" Exam. It's also implied that he was why Shinso did not make it into the Hero Course until his second year in spite winning the Sports Festival, believing that his quirk is ill-suited for hero work.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The hero students Izuku targets for recruitment for the Villain team that weren't already his friends are all students who have been discriminated against. Some were for Quirk status, be it for having a Weak, Villainous or Mutation Quirk, others were for being women in a male-dominated industry and at least one for having an undiagnosed learning disability and constantly called dumb.

* GoodIsNotNice: While Nedzu gives Izuku every chance to develop a hero career regardless of his record or lack of a quirk, he doesn't exactly know how to accept "no" for an answer. He threatens to out his vigilantism to the cops and is even willing to drag his friends (who are innocent), as well as putting him on what everyone views as the "losing side" of the "Heroes Vs.

** Since it isn't expressly forbidden, it's encouraged that both teams outsource and ask for non-hero course students to join them. This allows Izuku's team to blow out the old record for largest Villain Team roster, with a whopping ''32'' (Izuku of Gen Ed, ten Hero Course students including Monoma, Hitoshi for obvious reasons, Shoto, Momo wanting away from Mineta, Mina for the same reason as Momo, and Denki, eight Support Course students including Mei, and thirteen Business Course students); the old record was 11.

* ForWantOfANail: This version of Izuku never gets One For All. Because of this, he has no quirk to fall back on and has since accepted that he could never become a hero, leading to him using his analysis skills to help underground heroes anonymously as Null and joining UA in the Gen Ed course.

* {{Irony}}: Iida is one of the hero students who's most against Izuku and the Villain Team, both because of how militantly he is towards the heroic and ideal and because Izuku is quirkless (and therefore views him being involved as irresponsible), completely unaware that he is the vigilante that saved him from the Hero Killer.

to:

* GoodIsNotNice: While Nedzu gives Izuku every chance to develop a hero career regardless of his record or lack of a quirk, he doesn't exactly know how to accept "no" for an answer. He threatens to out his vigilantism to the cops and is even willing to drag his friends (who are innocent), as well as putting him on what everyone views as the "losing side" of the "Heroes Vs. Villains" Exam.

One day, Principle Nedzu calls up second-year Gen. Ed student Midoriya Izuku to his office. It turns out that, through deduction, the quirkless kid is in-secret the vigilante Null, using his analytical skills to clean up the dark streets of the city. Impressed by the boy's skills, he wishes to take him on as his apprentice. When Izuku refuses to give up his autonomy, Nedzu gives him an offer: play the BigBad in their "Heroes vs. Villains" exam. If he wins, he will be left alone. If he loses, Izuku must give in and become his student. If he abstains entirely, Nedzu submits all of the evidence he has on Null to the cops.

Can Izuku outsmart the smartest animal in the world?

!!''Null and Void'' contains examples of:
* LoopholeAbuse: Invoked. While at first glance the odds of the "Heroes vs. Villains" seem designed to be stacked against the Villain team, it doesn't take long for Izuku to realize that the rules were purposefully designed to be taken as ExactWords.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: For all of his good intentions, All Might is shown to have some quirkist tendencies. On top of his attempt at dissuading Izuku from pursuing a career in heroism, he is the first to object in including him in the "Heroes Vs. Villains" Exam. It's also implied that he attempted to keep Shinso from entering the Hero Course in spite winning the Sports Festival because he believed that his quirk was ill-suited for hero work.
* RiggedContest: By design, the "Heroes Vs. Villains" Exam is unwinnable for the "villain side". Being a school for prospective pro-heroes, most students prefer joining the hero side, the villain team have to adhere to a list of contradictory rules and the minimum passing score for them is 80%. The highest any villain team ever gotten is a ''30''. When Izuku looks at the rules critically, he realizes that it is more of a test of wits.
