* CanonImmigrant: Rell from VideoGame/{{Warframe}} appears in the story with a Quirk similar to Ian's, in that he has access to Harrow's abilities instead of Limbo. To Ian's dismay, The Man in the Wall is also here, and so far only Ian and Rell can see him.

* {{Expy}}: It's clear Hachiko Niryu is a Yang Xiao Long expy, but with an automail leg instead of an arm.
* ForWantOfANail: Bakugou's mother actually reveals she applied to the foreign exchange program and took Ian in in the hopes that having Ian around would expand Bakugou's world view and get him to tone down a bit. The results so far do not look promising.

** Ian rescuing Momo from the falling window pane in the first chapter is reminiscent of the pilot episode of Series/TheGoodDoctor.

* RageAgainstTheHeavens: Ian, given the nature of his VideoGame/{{Warframe}}-like Quirk and the existence of Rell, is pretty convinced The Man in the Wall is responsible for everything bad that happens to him, like how he broke his ankle trying to save Jirou from the falling Zero-Pointer, and sometimes refers to him in narration as "that cheeky fucker." The fact that Ian actually saw him at his birthday party in Issue 4 means that he is likely here to mess around with him and Rell like he does the Tenno.

-> '''Mei:''' ''Yes! Come to the Support Department! Let's make wonderful babies together!''
-> '''Power Loader:''' ''"Hatsume. Phrasing."''

* TrainingMontage: Issue 2 is mostly this. Ian spends the chapter improving his physicality through boxing classes and assessing (and expanding) the limits of his Quirk in preparation for UA.

** Ian talks about pulling a LightNovel/NoGameNoLife and negating Coloumb's Law as a potential extension of his abilities to mess around with the physics of the Rift Plane.

** Rell's last name in the MHA-verse is Palladino, which is the name of the Red Veil agent that the player works alongside in VideoGame/Warframe as part of the Chains of Harrow mission where Rell is a key character.

But it's only when he gets to the arrivals lobby that things finally start to make sense, because waiting for him is the Bakugou family. Ian's in Japan, alright; but he's in My Hero Academia Japan, and he's a foreign exchange student staying at their house the year before Katsuki applies to UA. But Ian's not completely hosed, because he also has a Quirk now: Rift Walk, the ability to access the Rift Plane like Limbo from Warframe. Determined to make a new start in his strange circumstances, Ian also applies to UA, where he finds a world both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.

** Ian rescuing Momo from the falling window pane in the first chapter is reminiscent of the pilot episode of TheGoodDoctor.
** Ian refers to Stasis, one of the four main abilities of Limbo, as ZA WARUDO. He actually yells "ZA WARUDO!" when using his Stasis power during the Entrance Exams.
** During the Hero vs. Villain exercise, Bakugou jumps over the hole Izuku had created with a SMASH to launch himself at Izuku, and Kaminari yells, [[StarWars "Don't do it, Bakugou! He has the high ground!"]]

* AlternateTimeline: All For One appears to be a bit more well-known in this version of events, whereas in canon most people don't even know he exists, save for All Might. When Rell brings up his name in conversation, a large pall falls over the class. This is because the author incorrectly assumed that All For One was akin to a boogeyman figure in canon when he wasn't, although it does make sense in theory.

* AlternateHistory: When Ian accidentally drops the name Captain America in a conversation about heroes in Issue 5, both Izuku and Kaminari know who he is and talk about Cap's fights with HYDRA, meaning that Captain America: The First Avenger had taken place in this universe at least.
