  • Chapter 2:
    Nana: "[It's] not like anyone's going to believe him if he tells them he saw All-Might deflate like a sad muscly balloon animal."
    • When Izuku gets home after All Might makes his offer, he realizes a problem; his mom already knows what his quirk is. He promised to keep All Might's secret, but he can't pretend to "discover his quirk" if his mother already knows his real one. While he's trying to figure out what to do, she gets home, and he talks without thinking:
      Izuku: Mom I did a stupid thing. I did several stupid things.
      Rei: (facepalms)
  • Shimura Nana, Deadpan Snarker and deceased mentor of All Might, shrieks and jumps halfway down the hall when she realizes Midoriya can see her.
    "Ebbuh," is the first thing Nana Shimura ever says to her successor’s student.
  • Why Hino follows Endeavor:
    Hino: For kicks.
    Nana: What?
    Hino: Lady, I'm dead. There's nothing left of me but memories and how I feel about them. I'm following him around because he's an asshole and I am literally made of spite.
    • Hino mentions to Nana that he hopes "the Dynamic Dickhead" orders a drink so that he can knock it over. Later, Midoriya learns that actually wound up happening.
  • After Todoroki curbstomps Sero, Midoriya needs to go to the bathroom.
  • The fight against Stain is tense and dangerous, but the seventeen dead heroes serving as a Greek Chorus are good for a laugh.
    Ghost 1: Nice shot, kid!
    Ghost 2: Holy shit!
    Ghost 3: I could have thought of that.
    Ghost 4: And yet here you are.
  • Ashido, Kaminari, and Sero borrow Mika to serve as a ghost-detector since they believe the dorms are haunted. Hino decides to troll the pants out of them by making a cupboard door swing, prompting Ashido and Kaminari to hide behind Sero who holds Mika in front of him Lion King-style as a shield.
  • The ghosts following Muscular certainly think Izuku giving him a One For All-fueled Groin Attack is this.
  • Mirio finally makes an appearance. Izuku's response is to try smacking him with a bag of trash. After Izuku recognizes him, not even Aizawa can keep a straight face after this response:
    Izuku: You're the pants guy.
  • Mirio's first meeting with Izuku is in general hilarious — moreso than original canon, even — due to the fact that Izuku has lived basically his whole life dealing with the fact that he can see and communicate with ghosts, and his face appearing in the wall still freaks him the heck out.
  • After Izuku's meeting with Nighteye, where he assures All Might that it went fine, All Might walks into the bathroom to find that Rei has drawn a message on the mirror demanding he get Nighteye to stop being "sad and mean." And she drew a picture of a pile of poop with Nighteye's glasses.
