History YMMV / TotalCommand

** When Izuku fights the USJ Nomu, his first exchange with the mutated creature has his gauntlet shattering and his spine dislocating. His horrified classmates assume he has died and break down, with Ochaco and Katsumi fruitlessly trying to avenge him. Izuku is trapped inside his own mind, unable to send any commands to his body, and watching his friends get injured as his body slowly dies. Doubles as Nightmare Fuel.

** Toga's usual reaction to seeing people bleeding - particularly Izuku.

* AscendedFanon: As of Chapter 59, the fanfic [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/18652765 Total Chat]] (a series of chat conversions between the girls of 1-A) is Total Command canon.
* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Izuku gets a RagingStiffie [[InnocentCohabitation waking up in bed with a bunch of his classmates.]] It's PlayedForLaughs until he realizes that thanks to Total Command he ''shouldn't'' get morning wood at all. This then prompts him to go to Recovery Girl and discover that he suffered a large amount of brain damage when his spine got dislocated.
* NoYay: Many reviewers have noted that Endeavor's attraction to Izuku makes them uncomfortable at best to disgusted at worst. Not helping matters is the obsessive lust and entitlement she feels towards him.

** The reasoning behind Katsumi's bullying of Izuku. After being confronted multiple times as a child with the possibility of Izuku's death if he continues in his dream to be a hero, when she gives into her fears, she makes a snap decision [[BreakHisHeartToSaveHim to crush his dreams so that he will live, even if it meant hurting her best friend.]]

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments:
** After being beaten up day after day by Mecha Might, Izuku [[SuperSenses refines his control]] of Total Command and out-endures the steel behemoth by targeting its weak joint with his blows, causing the entire arm to shear off and Mecha Might to shut down.
** Izuku casually mowing down the robots at entrance exam, even hijacking, with the mechanics skill taught to him by Mei, and riding a three-pointer around to attack the other robots for him.
*** Izuku goes [[DynamicEntry through a wall]] to save Ochako from being crushed by the zero-pointer, holding up the fist of the giant robot by using his body.
*** Running out of strength to hold back the zero-pointer, he uses a similar strategy used against Mecha Might with his bio-sonar to punch weaknesses into the robot, before using an One for All fuelled punch to send its arm rocketing into its own body, destroying it utterly.
** Izuku standing up to Katsumi when she lashes out at Mei over a jealously-fueled misunderstanding.
** Izuku and the previous holders of One for All force his body to reconnect to his brain by sheer force of will, and after getting back up and snapping his spine back into place, saws the Noumu's arms off with his remaining gauntlet to free Katsumi and Ochako, and tells the villains they messed with the wrong school after renewing the hope of his classmates with [[EmotionBomb a burst of his power]].
** Class 1-A single-handedly beating the villains with amazing teamwork, combining their powers with great efficiency - CurbStompBattle barely covers how huge it is, with 20 teenagers in their second day at hero school capturing three times their number in experienced villains without suffering grave injuries (apart from Izuku's previous ones).
*** Ochako uses her gravity nullifying to set villains up so Tomoyo can kick them into other villains.
*** When Minerva gets taken as a hostage, Momo makes a beanbag shotgun and knocks the villain out. Five villains surrender ''immediately''.
*** Hana using her tape power to move herself and Doi around Kurogiri, keeping her distracted until they get the drop on her - so Doi can shoot her electricity on her and knock her out.
*** Katsumi taking on Shigaraki one on one, figuring out her Quirk and telling Izuku, having figured they can use it on their own benefit.
*** Izuku and Shoko going to town against the Noumu, synergizing their powers to nullify the monster's advantages.
*** Izuku remembering a plan made in his and Katsumi's childhood, and telling Katsumi indirectly, with Katsumi ''also'' recalling this plan, - leading to Katsumi forcing Shigaraki's hands on the Noumu, fulfilling her promise that she would kill it.
** The Sports Festival starts strong out with Izuku giving a RousingSpeech to inspire his fellow competitors, referencing how even breaking his spine isn't enough to keep him being a hero.
*** During the Obstacle Race:
*** Izuku hijacks and rides a zero-pointer by sling-shotting himself using its treads into its eye and then rewiring it from the inside.
*** Momo creates a shoulder mounted cannon to take out the robots in the first obstacle, and proceeds to annihilate a zero-pointer. Then at the minefield modifies it with a cushion so she can propel herself over the minefield.
*** Ochaco launches herself across the minefield obstacle by deliberately setting off a mine and removing her own weight.
*** Izuku, Momo and Ochaco competing for first place with a [[DownToTheLastPlay photo finish]], having Izuku coming in first with the other two tying for second.
*** Mei pauses in the first obstacle course to create a flying Izuku-droid to literally carry her to third place after she has it go Plus Ultra.
*** Running low on tea and at the back of the pack, Saiko takes inspiration from the actions of the leaders of the pack to have her commandeered robot calculatedly step on a mine so that the explosion will propel her onto another mine and to another and so on, shooting her through the minefield like a pinball and securing her sixth place.
*** During the Paintball Battle:
*** Due to Nozomi's machinations, Izuku begins the paintball battle with 0 points. He spends most of the battle not doing a thing, studying the others, and with three minutes remaining goes in OneManArmy style, wiping out half of the teams and jumping up to second place.
*** Ochako takes first place by realizing she can make her paintball gun and paintballs recoil-less and shoot very fast, allowing her to hunt others down.
*** During the Fighting Tournament:
*** For Mei and Izuku's match they decide to have him fight Mecha Might in a rematch. After choosing not to use [[HonorBeforeReason One for All in their rematch,]] Izuku and an upgraded Mecha Might go toe to toe, until Mecha Might pulls out a SuperMode and begins to overwhelm Izuku. Pushed to the brink by Mecha Might, Izuku targets the one part of Mecha Might still not upgraded, his head. Copying Miruko's signature move, Kaguya Crescent, Izuku then does a spinning kick in mid-air to decapitate Mecha Might before he can finish him off with his Detroit Steel and send him out of bounds.
*** Ochako pushes Katsumi even further than their match in canon.
*** Shoko has been using her ice quirk to one shot all her previous opponents, but Izuku has a counter to her strategy: pumping up his metabolism to increase his temperature thereby melting the ice slightly around himself, then using the wiggle room allowed by that to use One for All to ''break and flex off the iceberg'', revealing his quirk to the public and making him an instantaneous celebrity.
** Izuku, Katsumi and Shoko coming to Tomoyo's aid when she gets paralyzed by Stain.
*** First, Izuku arriving just in time to stop Stain from lethally stabbing Tomoyo, breaking the blade with one hand, and then briefly fighting Stain on equal terms, only losing because of his reluctance to kill her, which Stain takes advantage to nick him and lick his blood. Even then, he again prevents Stain from killing Tomoyo by activating the pneumatic lance function of his gauntlets while paralyzed to bodily fling himself into her.
*** [[TheCavalry Katsumi arrives just then]] via flying, rapidly takes in the scene and [[AwesomenessByAnalysis deduces how Stain paralyzes people in less than five seconds]]. Then holds the Hero Killer off for several minutes, long enough for Izuku and Tomoyo to shake off their paralysis - and pull off their combined pincer move, sending Stain flying in two directions.
*** Finally, Shoko's intervention, as she comes right in time to use both sides of her Quirk to trap Stain before her last desperate attempt to murder Tomoyo.
** The Battle of Hosu between the heroes and the Noumu shows why the top 10 heroes are in the top 10.
*** Miruko one-shotting Noumus left and right by kicking them in their exposed brains. Eventually she comes across a big Noumu warding off multiple heroes. She kills it by driving an electricity cable into its brain.
*** Endeavor's Infernal Combustion is brutally efficient, burning a Noumu right through its regeneration by burning it at 10,000 degrees Celsius - higher than the outer temperature in the Sun's surface.
*** Miruko saves Izuku from the winged Noumu, jumping into the air after the creature and giving him a front-row seat to her Kaguya Crescent as it ''decapitates'' the monster.
*** As Stain is giving her speech about how only All Might can stop her, freezing everyone in place with her presence, Nana breaks Izuku out of the spell, letting him halt Stain's attack on Endeavor and ''headbutt'' her into unconsciousness.
* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
** Izuku gains inches of height and pounds of muscle in the course of only a few days and everybody, including him, rationalize it as a growth spurt. All Might even questions if he's taking steroids.

** Mei immediately starts feeling up Izuku after she meets him, and then completely fails to explain why she is feeling him up.

Izuku ends up having to pull her inside like a ballon until she recovers.
*** Followed by the brick that tripped Izuku lowering into the ground.
** Izuku realizing that there's no chance Katsumi won't be in his class as Nozomi will absolutely put her in the same class as him.
** Izuku's inner reaction to meeting [[MsFanservice Momo]] is to lament that if she's the standard at UA, he's dead.
*** Most of their first interactions are them being [[{{Adorkable}} socially awkward at each other.]]
*** Momo does a SpitTake of her tea when she sees Izuku carrying her large bed frame.
** Shoko's obsession with soba. The others eventually have to trick her into eating something else.
** Izuku's first meeting with Mina, Eiko and Tooru is him waking up from a nap without a [[WalkingShirtlessScene shirt]] and pants.
** Mei created the base of Izuku's costume out of a wetsuit, much to his initial embarrassment, which leads to much staring when he debuts it.
** When Minerva attempts to peek upon Izuku in the changing rooms, she's stopped by Katsumi who, after a comment by Minerva, accidentally blows down the dividing wall revealing Izuku in nothing but his underwear. And revealing them in various states of undress to him.
*** A cut-away to Nozomi has her laughing to herself, musing that she didn't even have to [[ForegoneConclusion lower the wall herself.]]
** During the obstacle race, Present Mic is constantly freaking out because Class 1-A is pulling off multiple CrazyEnoughToWork plans, one after another, while Aizawa [[NotSoStoic laughs uprariously]].
--->'''Present Mic:''' WHY CAN’T YOU HAVE JUST ''ONE'' NORMAL STUDENT?
*** Then, when finally Saiko Intelli hijacks a robot and uses her Quirk to get herself through the finish line...
--->'''Present Mic:''' Aizawa, I got good news. Your class doesn’t have the monopoly on crazy.
** Eiko wins her fight against Tetsutetsu because one of the latter's strikes causes her binder to get ripped - revealing her MostCommonSuperpower and distracting everybody.
** After Izuku has an intense make-out session with both Katsumi and Ochako, they hear the announcement for their match, making them realize the worked-up state they're in.
** After teasing Izuku and accidentally landing in his lap, Mina decides to double down on her teasing, only for Izuku to unintentionally turn the tables by slipping into his analysis mode and unconsciously wrapping his arms around her, trapping her until Ochako and Katsumi's match is over.
** Midnight is completely blindsided by Izuku's reveal of his Quirk at the Sports Festival, despite Izuku personally telling her about it. She assumed Total Command was what he named his meditation technique.
*** Aizawa didn't tell the other teachers because she wanted to pull a "logical ruse".
** Almost everybody in the stadium being DistractedByTheSexy, and in disbelief that a man has a Quirk when Izuku fights Shoko in the Sports Festival.
*** Ibara [[InnerThoughtsOutsiderPuzzlement starts reciting Bible verses to herself]] to distract her from lustful thoughts about Izuku. It doesn't work.
*** Monoma being the one of the few NotDistractedByTheSexy, instead having a mental breakdown while wondering if she has been fed hallucinogens.
*** Yui very bluntly states her intentions for Izuku. Followed up by wondering if [[CasualKink he'd choke her]].
---->'''Yui''': I am going to fuck him.
*** Mount Lady goes from wanting Izuku to get taken down a peg to lusting after him, Kamui Woods loudly laments about how she assumed he was Quirkless, and Death Arms [[OnlySaneMan is just looking at them wondering what's wrong with them.]]
*** Meanwhile, the Wild Wild Pussycats realize that they are going to be hosting him during summer: Pixie-bob begins to plan how to sleep with him, Mandalay begins to plan how to Pixie-proof Izuku's room (while accidentally revealing she also wants to get in on the Midoriya action), Ragdoll cracks up laughing and Tiger acts as the OnlySaneMan.
** Izuku and Nejire's first meeting has her [[{{Glomp}} tackling him to the ground]], straddling his hips and bouncing in an ''interesting'' way. [[EatingTheEyeCandy After spending several moments taking her in]], and [[InnocentFanserviceGirl her not realizing why her positioning on him could be taken wrong]], he snaps himself out of being DistractedByTheSexy and begins to wildly fanboy about her and the others of the Big 3. His attention laser focused on her, she becomes [[LuminescentBlush embarrassed]] and finally realizes the implications of her position.
** Mei blurting out in front of everybody that she and Izuku had sex, immediately after the revelation of the polyamorous relationship. Followed up by Mecha Might missing his cue to play kazoos and activate the party poppers and having to be reminded by Mei.
*** Then, Katsumi, Momo and Ochako grab Mei to Momo's room to interrogate her about Izuku. Eiko, Kyoka, Mina and Tooru get caught eavesdropping, and they try to run away - unsuccessfully.
** Shoko slowly slurping her cold [[TrademarkFavoriteFood soba]] while looking as Endeavor walks around their home.
** After Stain is ''finally'' knocked out, Shoko finds a rope in the alley the fight happened in, leaving the others dumbfounded that someone threw out a perfectly usable rope.
*** When Izuku tells Shoko to wash her hands later, since they don't know where the rope has been, [[NotSoStoic Shoko says that they do: the garbage bin]]. Tomoyo, Katsumi and Izuku crack up laughing.
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:

** Ochaco reveals to Izuku the reason she wanted to become a hero - to earn enough money to help her mother.

** After the fight with Stain, Izuku, Katsumi and Tomoyo are taken to the hospital. Shoko visits her mother (who is also there) and asks Izuku if he can come with her. Rei is glad to see the person that convinced her little Snowflame to use her fire again, and the three spend a few hours with Rei's photos of Shoko as a girl.
