** Togaru Kamakiri's [[BladeBelowTheShoulder [Razor Sharp]]], as discovered by Izuku, is actually a form of silk manipulation, allowing him to make constructs out of material similar to spider silk and absorb them back into his body. It's essentially a less advanced version of [[ThePowerOfCreation Momo's Quirk]]
** Kinoko Komori's [[FesteringFungus [Mushroom]]] went through ''some'' sort of change off-screen, even greater than Kamakiri's example above, but it hasn't been revealed yet. Thus far we have seen it can bolster her strength though.

** The excuse for Bakugou's KarmaHoudini status in canon explained by the societal instability caused by All Might's retirement and the League of Villains slowly rising to power, making Aizawa unable to expel him due to the risk of him being targeted again by the League. In fact, Aizawa was planning that there was a 50/50 chance of him expelling Bakugo at the USJ, believing it very likely that the student's reaction to rescue training would be sufficient grounds to expel him.

** Midoriya's is still clearly affected over how he was treated when he was still Quirkless.

** Tokage also gained a small portion of [One For All], specifically a small part of [Fa Jin][[spoiler: and [Energy Absorption].]]
** Instead of [Gearshift], The 2nd User of One For All's Quirk is [[spoiler: [Quirked Animal Registry].]]
** [[spoiler: Midoriya, All Might and all other Quirkless people in the world ''do'' in fact have Quirks, they're just rendered dormant due to having side effects that would instantly kill the user upon activating. Monoma, by nature of his own Quirk, is one of the few people in the world who knows about this, and refers to the phenomenon as the "Cold Quirk Theory"]]

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Aizawa is subject to this in-universe. Monoma outright hates the man, and Tokage is mortally afraid of him, and a lot of Monoma's more recent issues stem from the man's performance as a teacher; which a growing number of students have concerns about as well. On the flipside, they are LockedOutOfTheLoop on the rationality behind many of Aizawa's decisions, generally made with the joint approval of Kan and Nezu, which come off much more as a ReasonableAuthorityFigure.

** Rather than being 1-A hating fanatic that he is in canon Monoma is one of the deuteragonist who's fierce competitive streak towards 1-A stems from [[spoiler: his outright hatred towards Eraserhead, their teacher, not the students themselves. In addition, a desperate need to keep all the focus on himself, and the classes separate, lest Aizawa's casual use of [Erasure] kill or cripple Tokage.]]

** More information is given on the lives on the previous users of [One For All]

*** Instead of canon where Monoma seems to hate 1-A because they got attacked by villains. Monoma's hatred of 1-A instead masks the actual target of his hatred and fear; Aizawa. He grew up in the man's shadow as part of an all Quirkless family, with Aizawa revered by the Quirkless population. However the constant comparisons to the Pro Hero, to the point they actually care more for him than Monoma, and realising Aizawa was unwilling to use his actually considerable influence to improve things for the Quirkless, made it his life's mission to upstate the man as the hero of the Quirkless. At UA itself, he also fears Aizawa's casual use of Erasure could kill or cripple Tokage, and as she refuses to speak up about the same fear, instead devotes himself to being either the one Aizawa entirely focuses on, and keeping their classes separate.
*** Underneath that front, he is actually a highly respected hero student, and does a lot to help everyone. His dream is to help the Quirkless as much as possible, and raise awareness of them. Including publishing his and his sister's discovery of what the truth what Quirkless really are. He also loves Quirks, and has a seething hatred of Quirk Counselors and how much they mess things up.

*** Tokage is a mischievous teenager who wants to make her grand-aunt, Chiyo Shuzenji aka Recovery Girl, proud. However she is very insecure about her quirk, having taken years to get it under control and how it impacts her life.

* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Bakugo's current situation, as he is well aware by now that if it gets out what he did to Izuku growing up, which he does not at all regret, he will be kicked out of the hero course. More and more people are becoming aware of this though, or are noting inconsistencies in what they assume happened in the past, with Monoma takes glee in spelling out that Bakugo remaining in the hero course will end the instant that Izuku finally accepts what an awful person Bakugo is, and how Bakugo should never be a hero. The very same Izuku's whose new Quirk development has left him functionally immune to Bakugo's explosions, can fly like him, and easily bests him at strength. As things are, Bakugo concludes that the only way out for him is to prove that he is too indispensable for his combat power to be rid of, and even that falls flat when Kamakiri decisively beats him twice in a row in the same match.

** [Razor Sharp]'s change into [Silk Trade] is revealed to Kan, All Might, Aizawa, Bakugo, and Monoma in chapter 59, after they were kept in the dark about the change for most of the story.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Aizawa assumes Monoma is a fan given his family, and has a little resentment for the major miscommunication over saving Izuku's life, but ultimately things are alright between them, even if the teen could be less dramatic. In reality, Monoma hates and fears Aizawa to a degree it is a defining trait of his behavior, and Aizawa has only ever witness a false persona to keep the classes apart. Driven by these emotions, Monoma is also working hard to undermine Aizawa by making 1-A see Aizawa is an inferior and irresponsible teacher; all while ignorant of how there are sound (if not necessarily correct) reasons behind many of Aizawa's questionable decisions as a teacher, which have the approval of 1-B's own teacher Vlad King at that.

** Recovery Girl is Setsuna's Great Aunt, and the one who sponsored her for the recommendation exam.

** Third's daughter and Daigoro Banjo were on-and-off again lovers.

* SeeTheInvisible: Thanks to being in the pool, the other students can see Hagakure's hair. It also freaks her out that Monoma and Izuku give her eye-contact as no one else does.

** Pony and Monoma. Pony is openly attracted towards Monoma, however he is completely oblivious to this, and if you tell him that she likes him to his face, he thinks you are talking Korean.
** Ashido and Kirishima. Although a misunderstanding means people falsely think Monoma has a crush on her.
** Kodai and Shouda. He helped her with a panic attack when the reporters broke in, and is the only one to reliably understand her. Everyone can see them as a couple, but neither are willing to make the first move.

* ThisIsUnforgivable: Monoma is ''livid'' at seeing Izuku's memories of the years of abuse Bakugo put him through after copying One For All, swearing to destroy his hero career and make his life hell.
-->'''Monoma:''' TAKE A SWAN DIVE AND WISH FOR A QUIRK!? I'LL MAKE YOUR ENTIRE LIFE TAKE A SWAN DIVE!
** The vestiges of the past users of [OFA] also hate Bakugo for everything he has done to Midoriya, and actively warn Midoriya not to be near Bakugo. They even have t-shirts proclaiming as such.

** Chapter 36: [[spoiler: Near the end of the chapter, every Quirkless person is revealed to have a latent quirk that remains inactive so as not to kill its user. ]].

** Quirks are always placed in brackets to display their importance, examplebeing [One For All]. The exceptions to the rule are sentient quirks when they are referred to as a person. For example when Tokoyami's quirk is talked about the characters use [Dark Shadow] to specify they are talking about the quirk, with Dark Shadow being used when referring to them as a person.
*** This is also something Izuku and Monoma do in-universe when writing down details about quirks.

** [[spoiler:Izuku's own dormant Quirk has awakened, with One For All being able to keep it from killing him. Providing him with [Energy Absorption].]]

*** The greater focus towards Monoma instead of hating 1-A because they got attacked by villains, but from his hatred and fear of Aizawa.

*** Rather than being a stepping stone for Bakugou's development, Tokage faces Midoriya's team during the Joint Training Exercise.

** Jiro and Kaminari.

* CompleteMonster: The scenes for [[AGodAmI Re-Destro,]] [[ColdBloodedTorture All For One]], and Shigaraki make it abundantly clear they are this.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Aizawa assumes Monoma is a fan given his family, and has a little resentment for the major miscommunication over saving Izuku's life, but ultimately things are alright between them, even if the teen could be less dramatic.
