* Tsuyu's unusual face, namely her big wide eyes, solid oval pupils, and a V-shaped smile, is yet another frog reference: She resembles the Creator/{{Sanrio}} mascot Keroppi.

* Izuku's crush on Ochako makes a lot more sense when you realize that she bears a resemblance towards his mother when she was younger (and thinner).

* For much of the early part of the series; Midoriya struggles with using One For All, injuring himself in spite of having All Might's guidance, but rectifies these issues once he trains with Gran Torino. All Might calls his instructing inadequate, but it's likely more complicated than that. Gran Torino states that Midoriya and All Might have contrasting personalities, but he also acknowledges that All Might figured out the Quirk much quicker than Midoriya did. It wasn't that All Might was bad at instructing Midoriya, he simply didn't understand the hurdles that his pupil was going through.
* The first person to pass on One For All had a latent Quirk that allowed him to pass it onto others. At first glance, it might seem like an [[AssPull incredibly convenient plot device]], considering how weak and unnoticeable it is. However, it's not that far-fetched at all, and in fact, makes perfect sense. As shown in-story, Quirks are hereditary, meaning that parents can pass on their Quirks to their children. His brother has the power to steal Quirks, '''in addition''' to the power to grant them. Him getting the latter Quirk, but not the former, thus makes complete sense.

** It ends up making perfect sense, when following TheReveal of "All for One" as the name of another Quirk - [[spoiler: one which enabled a powerful villain to selfishly hoard many other Quirks for himself.]]

* So far in the series, we have plenty of confirmation of Deku being worthy of One For All as All Might's successor, especially based on how he rushes into danger if it means helping people. But there's also the fact that several of his classmates are starting to be inspired by him as well. Todoroki is motivated to get over his anger toward his father to better himself as a hero, Bakugou is encouraged to start working with others if it means winning, and even Mineta is able to get over his perversion and cowardice in order to win against a much stronger opponent on his own. Just like All Might was an inspiration and a symbol of peace to others - Deku is starting to change a lot of people around him for the better.

* Uraraka's weakness; namely that overusing her gravity-cancelling powers, or applying said powers to herself (which ends up causing her extreme nausea), actually makes a great deal of sense. Nausea is a common symptom if in zero-gravity conditions. There's a reason why the aircraft used to train astronauts for Zero Gravity conditions, are collectively called the ''Vomit Comet'', after all. When using this power of such a Quirk on herself, Uraraka is consequently then exposing her body to a Zero Gravity environment.

* Endeavor and his wife did not have a happy relationship - considering how he only married her in order to [[spoiler:produce a child strong enough to surpass All Might]]. She was absolutely aware of that. Knowing this, it doesn't take much to infer that [[spoiler:he likely forced her into intercourse, just like he pushed her into a loveless marriage.]]
** [[FromBadToWorse It gets worse]] when you realize that [[spoiler:Todoroki has older siblings, which would mean that Endeavor forced his wife to go through intercourse multiple times.]]
** His indifferent expression when telling Todoroki that [[spoiler: his mother is in mental care]] also sadly makes sense. After having finally gotten the heir that he'd always wanted, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness he couldn't care less about her]].
* Kouta's hatred of heroes and quirk-oriented society in general, makes a lot of sense, when considering the context of his parents' deaths. They died protecting innocents from a villain, and were lauded for their sacrifice. But, for a child who didn't yet have the understanding to cope with the full context of the situation, it must have seemed that people were actually ''celebrating'' that his parents were dead. No wonder he ended up getting such a huge chip on his shoulder.
* In an Omake in the 7th Volume; a fan asked the author, Horikoshi, why the winged Noumu from the Stain Arc specifically picked out and took off with Midoriya. Horikoshi answered with "''I will do my best to explain about Noumu later on''" - along with a [[http://imgur.com/a/YnNv3 drawing of a boy]] seen in the very first chapter, as one of Bakugou's friends (and thus by extension antiquated with Midoriya), during childhood. [[WhamLine That kid's Quirk was having wings.]]

* The name "One for All". At first, it might seem weird since it's actually a sum of many people's powers held by one person, suggesting that "All for One" might be a more appropiate name. However, taking into account [[AllLovingHero All Might and Midoriya's personalities]], it can be interpreted as "One person's power for the sake of All others". Also, it's a power that has been held by several people ( with Midoriya being the ninth user).
** It ends up making perfect sense, once following TheReveal of "All for One" as the name of another Quirk- one that allowed a powerful villain to selfishly hoard many other Quirks for himself.

It wasn't that All Might was bad at instructing Midoriya, he simply didn't understand the hurdles his pupil was going through.
** The fridge brilliance in this, is that it enforces that All Might was a bad teach for Midoriya. While he is teaching an entire class, All Might is personally spending one on one time with Midoriya and still couldn't figure it out.

At first glance, it might seem like an [[AssPull incredibly convenient plot device]], considering how weak and unnoticeable it is.

* While Bakugou's horrified reaction to [[spoiler: Todoroki's reason for existing]] is justified by how disturbing it is, another part of it could easily come from him seeing the kind of person he could turn into with his obsession with being number 1.
* The name "One for All". At first it might seem weird since it's actually a sum of many people's powers held by one person, suggesting that "All for One" might be a more descriptive name. However, taking into account [[AllLovingHero All Might and Midoriya's personalities]], it can be interpreted as "One person's power for the sake of all others". Also, it's a power that has been owned by several people (Midoriya being the ninth user).
** Makes perfect sense, expecially after TheReveal of "All for One" being the name of another Quirk that allowed a powerful villain to selfishly hoard Quirks for himself.
* Todoroki's costume completely covered his fire side with things that look like ice. Considering how he hates his father's fire powers, and vowed to never use it in battle, this makes perfect sense.
** Especially now that he's got a costume change to go with him accepting his flame powers.
* So far in the series, we have plenty of confirmation of Deku being worthy of one for all, as All Might's successor, based on how he rushes into danger if it means helping people. But there's also the fact that several of his classmates are starting to be inspired by him as well.

Just like All Might was inspirational and a symbol of peace to others, Deku is starting to change a lot of people around him for the better.
** This ability to inspire people to do better was even seen at the very beginning of the series when his reckless attempt to rescue Bakugou convinced ''All Might'' to defy his time limit despite the risk to himself and save the day.
* Aside from SuperSpeed and SuperStrength, One For All also apparently grants the user [[MadeOfIron Enhanced Durability]]. How does this happen? Simple. One For All's massive backlash punishes the user with extreme pain (broken bones being very common), but over time, this helps the user build resistance to massive amounts of pain. So, All Might being able to tank just about anything isn't inherently granted by the Quirk, it's a by-product of the Quirk thanks to years of coping with One For All.
* Uraraka's weakness, namely that overusing her gravity-cancelling powers or using said powers on ''herself'' causes her extreme nausea actually makes a great deal of sense, as nausea is a common symptom to zero-gravity conditions. There's a reason that the aircraft used to train astronauts for zero-g conditions is called the "Vomit Comet" after all. By using her power on herself, Uraraka is suddenly exposing her body to a zero-g environment.
* Uraraka learning how to fight hand-to-hand seems like a normal thing for her to get into to add to her offensive capabilities, but in what we've seen so far this mostly seems to be grappling and submissions. Considering her quirk would let her reduce an enemy's weight to nothing, it's no wonder why grappling would be a fantastic fighting style for her.
