* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:All For One panics and sends Danny to the ''moon'' when his attempt to steal the halfa's nonexistent Quirk backfires on him, nearly killing himself, but all it does is delay Danny for a few days instead of killing him like he'd hoped.]]

* DramaticIrony: [[spoiler:When All For One sends Danny to the moon in a panic after his attempt to steal the young halfa's abilities backfires on him, he assumes that Danny is dead. Danny, who doesn't need to breath as a ghost, is not only fine, having instinctively transformed into his Phantom form, but actually ''happy'' to be on the moon before he remembers that Bakugo is still in trouble, given his obsession with space.]]



* NoSell: [[spoiler:Not only is All For One unable to steal Danny's powers, but ''something'' within him fights back, spooking the villain so much that he nearly kills himself by teleporting Danny to the ''moon'' in a desperate attempt to get him as far away as possible.]]



* WrongContextMagic: Zig-zagged with Quirks and Danny's ghost powers. While Danny's ectoplasmic biology gives him ''far'' more powers than is normal for a single Quirk, Aizawa's Erasure Quirk can still nullify them (though notably ''not'' forcing him out of Phantom form in the process), and Monoma can copy his powers, though issues with the RequiredSecondaryPowers for Danny's ice abilities cause him some trouble. Given that Danny's ghost sense apparently reacts to One For All's vestiges, and how [[spoiler:Dark Shadow recognizes Danny as the ghost king]], it seems that it's less like Danny's ghost powers are like a Quirk and more like Quirks are at least partially ''ghostly in origin somehow''.

* ComboPlatterPowers: One of the things that people in the MHA universe notice about Phantom is how ''many'' abilities he has compared to a normal Quirk.
* AnIcePerson: Danny's official "Quirk" is his ice powers, which he calls "Phantom Ice". Interestingly, unlike normal Quirk-produced ice, it only melts when Danny ''wants'' it to do so, much to Momo's shock when she fails to melt it in a spar, and is cold but not enough to harm.
* SpaceMaster: Danny is a burgeoning one, meant to balance out Clockwork as Master of Time. So far, the main sign of this is his burgeoning portal powers.
* SupernaturallyValidatedTransPerson: [[spoiler:Danny is trans here, and not only did his Phantom form always reflect who he was inside, but over time his human form changed to become physically male as well.]]
* TrappedInAnotherWorld: Danny ends up thrown through a natural portal during a fight with Vlad and trapped in the My Hero Academia world as a result.
* WrongContextMagic: Zig-zagged with Quirks and Danny's ghost powers. While Danny's ectoplasmic biology gives him ''far'' more powers than is normal for a single Quirk, Aizawa's Erasure Quirk can still nullify them (though notably ''not'' forcing him out of Phantom form in the process), and Monoma can copy his powers, though issues with the RequiredSecondaryPowers for Danny's ice abilities cause him some trouble.
