* NiceGuy: Even after everything that's happened to him, Izuku refuses to let it affect how he treats others and continues to be an extremely kind and empathetic young man. He doesn't judge Ryuji for his appearance, is quick to help Morgana out of his cage, and gives Ann someone to talk to about her troubles with Kamoshida. This works against him in his work as a thief, since he's decidedly non-threatening compared to his teammates, but it does make Pixie join him and neither she nor Bicorn hold it against him when he selects them for fusion and thus execution. She even lampshades the fact.

Izuku Midoriya thought he was doing the right thing when he ran down that alleyway to save a woman who was being molested by a drunken man. After all, what kind of Hero could ignore a cry for help? But that man had connections, and the would-be hero soon found himself charged with assault and sentenced to parole in Tokyo for his "violent" act.
It's one thing to become a Hero when you're Quirkless, it's another thing entirely when you also have a criminal record.
With his hopes of achieving his lifelong dream dashed, Izuku gets shipped off to live with a family friend while attending Shujin Academy and serving out his parole, seemingly destined to be forever branded a thug for what he thought would be an act of heroism.
But the gears of fate turn in strange ways. After getting lost on his way to his new high school, the Quirkless teen is soon sucked into the Metaverse, where he would have been killed if not for the awakening of a strange power within him called a "Persona". Now dealing with forces far beyond the world of Heroes and Villains, the once powerless boy soon finds that even Phantom Thieves can be heroes in their own right.
''Thieves Can Be Heroes!'' is a ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' and ''VideoGame/Persona5'' FusionFic written by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/3205666/Mugiwara-N0-Luffy Mugiwara N0 Luffy]]. With a Quirkless Izuku taking the place of Persona 5's protagonist, it follows his journey towards becoming a Phantom Thief and using his newfound abilities to unravel the mysteries and conspiracies in Tokyo while doing as much good as he can along the way.

!Thieves Can Be Heroes provides examples of:
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Izuku is still Quirkless, but he instead has the power of the Fool Arcana this time around. In addition, his superheroic tendencies have given him Carter for a Persona rather than Arsene.
* {{Adorkable}}: Even with the confidence and power boost he gets while using his Persona, Izuku is still a quintessential NiceGuy who can't even threaten Shadows properly while negotiating with them, frequently stamping on a "please" at the end while making demands. Then there's the fact that he CannotTalkToWomen and his easy-to-fluster nature.
* CannotTalkToWomen: Izuku's inability to speak to girls his age is highlighted in particular here, becoming flustered around any new girl he meets and practically melting when he's asked to trade phone numbers or touch a girl.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Deconstructed as per its source material. Izuku's thoughtless attempts to help a woman in trouble ends with him getting on the bad side of a man with connections in the government that let him easily rig a trial so that he walks away scot-free while Izuku is left with a year's parole and a permanent assault charge on his record.
* LightEmUp: Carter is able to able to throw balls of light imbued with the Bless-attribute in contrast to Arsene's Curse-attribute.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Two-fold here. On top of the social stigma that comes with having a criminal record, Izuku is burdened with the fact that he'll ''never'' be able to enroll at a Hero school or find a job at a Hero office with that assault label on his record, which brings him to tears on multiple occasions.

Izuku Midoriya thought he was doing the right thing when he ran down that alleyway to save a woman who was being molested by a drunken man. After all, what kind of Hero could ignore a cry for help? But that man had connections, and the would-be hero soon found himself charged with assault and sentenced to parole in Tokyo for his "violent" act.
