Nara assures him that Ken is a good person and never harms her where it matters, reminding him of the time he stopped a creep [[NotGoodWithRejection who was being pushy on Nara after she rejects his confession]] and that they now have a family that loves them in The Midoriyas, who are more than willing to help Ken improving himself to be a better person if he just asks.

* After Izuku gently confronted her, Fukunoko explains why she suddenly wanted to spend her time with him - she wants Eri and Kei to be her sister, and they call Izuku "dad", so if she wants them to accept her as their sister, she has to start getting used to call Izuku "dad" as well. Izuku tells her that both he, Eri & Kei already sees her as their family despite it and that she doesn't have to call him "dad" if she can't bring herself to say it.

* Yami and Amai respectively intimidate and talked a bully out of bullying his victim.
** The two then follow the bully back to his house after Yami notices that the bully's fear spiked when Amai mentions his home.

!Side Stories
[[folder: Fu's Notes]]
* The notes include compliments and gestures of gratefulness to both Izuku and the other kids, showing that the EmotionlessBoy really is happy to live with them.
** '''About Izuku:''' "Izuku is the nicest person ever. He holds no grudges, does not judge anyone, and rarely ever gets angry. He only ever seems to get upset when something harms someone he cares about. Or in some of my siblings' cases, when they harm themselves. He only really grounds us if we hurt each other or ourselves. Of course, that means I've never gotten in trouble with him...that also means I don't get much of his attention. But that's fine. He's very busy."
** '''About Kiba:''' "Kiba may have only become my official sister after dad took us in, but honestly [[LikeBrotherAndSister it feels like we've been siblings for much longer]]. [...] Kiba is, at the best of times, obnoxiously loud, overly full of herself, and very simple-minded. But somehow she takes all those bad traits and makes them into good ones...most of the time."
** '''About Eri:''' "Eri seems to hate herself a little because of her quirk. I know how that feels. We all want to protect her. I hope we can. I hope someday we can make her smile."
** '''About Kei:''' "She is also very optimistic. Which is strange because the world, naturally, treated her terribly. [...] The way she approaches her life with an upbeat, positive attitude is really admirable in my opinion. A lot of people like to complain about their lives, she just tries to improve hers."

[[folder: MCU Tier List]]
* Kiba and Fu are putting both [[Film/AntMan1 Ant]]-[[Film/AntManAndTheWasp Man]] movies and Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2 on the top tier due to resonating very hard with the theme of family in those three movies.
* When Kiba goes GenkiGirl when she gives her reason for labeling Film/ThorRagnarok as her favorite, Fu notes how she inherits Izuku's MotorMouth, something she feels proud to have.
-->'''Kiba:''' [[YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious Dad]] is one of the greatest people to walk this earth, I fail to see how picking up habits from him could be a bad thing.

* The notes include compliments and gestures of gratefulness to both Izuku and the other kids, showing that the EmotionlessBoy really did happy to live with them.

* Kakei, Amai's [[TheFriendNobodyLikes troublemaking classmate]], is accepting that her classmates (sans Amai) are choosing her as [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext a sacrifice to sate Yami's need to seek revenge against Amai]], admitting that she should have been a better friend. Thankfully, her admission of regret and acceptance causes her classmates [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone unable to continue attempting to sacrifice her]].

--> Yami took a good look at Eri. She had been through so much and had likely been like one of those people with the negativity geysers out there.\\

** As for Fukunoko, she wanted to be the sister of Kiba's character who ran away from home to help the game's protagonist, but is concerned if the idea is too silly. Amai assures her that her character concept is of an ExpositionFairy, while Kiba finds it adorable, assuring Fukunoko by hugging her.

'''[[Heartwarming/IDontRunAnOrphanageShorts The Shorts]]'''

--> "Well um...I've always admired characters like Link. Able to face off against any kind of danger. Explore the world. Have adventures. It's the same reason I admire you Lady Kiba. I'll...I'll never be as brave, or strong as you, or Link, but...If I can pretend to be them. Even for just a little bit...it makes me feel...stronger."\\

** When Fuku asked if that's why he was willing to help a "rotten apple" like her, Sato declares that she is not rotten. While her Quirk is indeed scaring him, he asked if she choose the Quirk when she was born or if she is willing to use it on the innocents. She answers both of the questions with a "no", therefore she is not a "rotten apple".
-->'''Sato:''' Some people get unlucky, like you did, with their quirks. They go through hardships as you did, but they think that that is an excuse to hurt people. That [[FreudianExcuse because they were hurt, it gives them the right to hurt others]]. And that's how [[ThenLetMeBeEvil regular apples turn rotten]]. But you didn't make that decision, you never meant to hurt anyone, and that's what makes you sweet!

** Ken feels guilty that he didn't fully appreciate how much Nara has done for him until now, and confesses that he feels jealous at how much smarter, more popular, and more loved by their parents she is, to the point of strangling her as Ghostffreak. Nara assures him that Ken is a good person and never harms her where it matters, reminding him of the time he stops a creep [[NotGoodWithRejection who was being pushy on Nara after she rejects his confession]], and that they now have a family that loves them in Izuku Midoriya and the other kids, who are more than willing to help Ken improving himself to be a better person if he just asks.

'''Jiro:''' Really? My fashion sense? Great to know. [[SarcasmMode I'll just be absolutely disgusting to look at if I let my dad choose my clothes].\\

* Fukunoko causes Kiba to [[CutenesOverload fall onto the floor]] ''twice'', first by trying to jumpscare her wearing an adorable bear costume, and later hugging and thanking her for letting Eri & Toru borrow her clothes for dressing her up.
