History YMMV / IDontRunAnOrphanage

** According to ''Truth or Dare'', there are Kiba Dakimakuras. Considering that Kiba is a real, underaged girl in the story's setting, body pillows are not part of her official merchandise, and Izuku seems to have done nothing to put a stop to it.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Shadow Ruler!Izuku comes from the remains of his dream to become a Hero, despite his new responsibility as the [=OPC=] caretaker, that still lingers in his subconsciousness, and both Izuku and Ren eliminate it by pointing out that if one could only focus on their failures (unable to become a hero), they'll never be able to see what they managed to achieve and accomplish despite that (becoming a multimillionaire, becoming a beloved father figure, etc). Some readers, who believe that Izuku's definition of a "Hero" is too narrow, argue that Izuku should've instead convinced his Shadow Ruler that while he did not wear a costume and went around on constant patrols with a hero license, he did become a Hero by helping take down villains(and still is against the Meta Army) and saved lives. Other readers also argue that Shadow Ruler!Izuku could have been convinced that by giving the [=OPCs=] a new home, a loving family, and a second lease on life despite their dangerous Quirk, he becomes a Hero in the eyes of these children.

** Ever since [[spoiler:The Sports Festival attack]], the story focuses more on Izuku gathering power, resource, and/or influence to strengthen Midoriya Foundation. To some, it is a natural story progression that the constant threat to his life and the kids makes Izuku prioritizes their safety and stop the BigBadEnsemble. To others, Izuku has gone WellIntentionedExtremist and the story diverges away from its "Izuku raises orphans" premise and [[DemotedToExtra gives the kids less story focus]] in general.

* HilariousInHindsight: During ''Fashion Show'', Kiba's chat refers Tokoyami, among other things, as "Shadow The Hedgehog but bird" due to how edgy his look is. almost a hundred chapters later, we get Leden Ultimave, who is an {{Expy}} to said character.

** Sori Jaga when she first appeared, pulling OneManArmy on Yami's Grimms after Class 1-B spends 3 chapters surviving through them, all because she wants to work with Midoriya Foundation, [[PoorCommunicationKills but did not call beforehand and just trespasses the mansion's land]]. On one side, she is a professional bodyguard compared to a class of heroes in training, is a WakeUpCall to Izuku that there are villains of her caliber out there, and did become BandageMummy for a week from her injuries fighting the Grimms. On the other side, she is an overpowered individual who is TooDumbToLive, and [[KarmaHoudini still got hired (which is what she's after in the first place) despite the panic she caused]].

** Yaba eating an eyeball for a dare. Note that she is ''not'' one of the kids that [[ImAHumanitarian can consume humans]].

** Izuku [[InvokedTrope rarely]] [[EasilyForgiven punishes people despite their mistakes causes great distress at minimum]], from Yonda's ManipulativeBastard moments, Sori Jaga trespassed the mansion because she did not contact him for a job application, Ashido Mina joins the kids to spread Amai's [[FantasticDrug Mood Candies]] to people in the mansion without restrain, etc. On one hand, it is Izuku's nature to be caring, gentle, and not harsh. Not to mention it is in theme with canon (Eraserhead [[StatusQuoIsGod never really expelled anyone from 1-A]] despite various rule-breakings, Izuku's recklessness during the second slime incident is rewarded with being chosen as All-Might's successor, etc), others see it as Izuku being too soft and prefers that the lightly punished people deserve worse or at least learns their lessons.

*** Then there's Aka who [[spoiler: is responsible for Yonda's blunder that makes her current scheme get noticed by Izuku by using her [[PeoplePuppet Quirk]] on the {{Telepathy}} girl]]. Some see it as Aka's SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, while others are concerned that this event will make her KnightTemplar mentality gets worse because she [[DarthWiki/WarpThatAesop learns]] that she [[spoiler:can avoid killing villains by framing them with her Quirk]].

* WhamLine:
** Kioku asks Izuku why he still defends All-Might after he disagrees with his dream of becoming a Hero.
