* Iida Tensei dies fighting Stain. It was bad enough having to see Tenya distraught over his brother being crippled, here, it's taken UpToEleven.

* The NearDeathExperience Aizawa suffers during the USJ Arc. Their mounting confusion and frustration only worsen upon getting a glimpse of his own body, still pinned by the Noumu.
** Izuku is doing his best to stay calm and comfort them despite his dismay. He's barely keeping it together when refusing to explain just ''how'' he's able to see them because they ''should'' forget once they wake up, so explaining everything would only serve a purpose if they really ''were'' [[KilledOffForReal dead for good]].
* Okumura, the poltergeist following Endeavor, died because Endeavor got impatient during a standoff. Okumura and the other crooks had been ready to stand down, but Endeavor sent everything to hell, and Okumura died in the shootout.
* On the train after the Sports Festival, Izuku notices that none of the other passengers refer to Todoroki by name, always calling him Endeavor's son or the like. It's a bitter reminder how no matter who Todoroki is, in the public consciousness, he's his father's son.

* Hindsight can be a harsh mistress, as Aizawa reflects in the following chapter how he could have prevented this whole mess with just one change: switching Midoriya and Todoroki's positions in the exams so that the former was working with Yaoyorozu and the latter with Bakugou.

* One of the ghosts inhabiting the Midoriya household suffers an episode and relives his gruesome death. Inko is forced to call Izuku home since he's smashing things and she can't calm him down. "You're dead," should never be comforting.

** The fact that Hitomi was the 777th test subject. That Tsubasa -- the doctor's own ''grandson'' -- was sacrificed as well. So many lives ruined, and the one Izuku confronts over this lied smoothly about it all. When finally cornered, the Doctor doesn't seem to know which excuse he should use -- JustFollowingOrders, [[ForScience following his leader's vision]], claiming it was never done with malice... as if that makes a lick of difference.

Added DiffLines:

** Probably the worst thing about all of this -- the thing that really set Midoriya off and caused much of his fury -- is the way Iida purposefully and knowingly twisted his words of wisdom and help earlier. You can just ''feel'' the hurt from that one particular bit even as they're reconciling afterwards.
