* ComboPlatterPowers: Midoriya discovers that [[spoiler:he has six Quirks stored within One For All, each Quirk belonging to a different One For All predecessor. So far, Midoriya can use [[CombatTentacles Blackwhip]] (which belonged to Daigoro Banjo), [[NotQuiteFlight Float]] (Nana Shimura's Quirk), [[SpiderSense Danger Sense]] (Hikage Shinomori's Quirk), [[SmokeOut Smokescreen]] (En's Quirk), [[ChargedAttack Fa Jin]] (Third User's Quirk) and [[SuperSpeed Gearshift]] (Kudo's Quirk).]]

* {{Depower}}: [[spoiler:In the series FinalBattle it becomes apparent that Izuku can't beat Shigaraki in a straight up brawl due to the villain's enhanced body and regeneration and because Izuku refuses to use a blow powerful enough to kill him completely. The vestiges realize that the only way to stop Shigaraki at this point is to break off One For All into its individual Quirk factors and forcibly transfer then into Shigaraki to attack his mental world in order to weaken his will so he will listen to Izuku. This results in Izuku losing the ancillary Quirks within One For All as they break against Shigaraki's shell of hatred until he loses the last Quirk vestige, Nana, leaving just himself with One For All's super strength.]]

*** In an interview, Horikoshi revealed that the 'Deku' name was taken from a verse in the Poem 'Be Not Defeated By the Rain' by Kenji Miyazawa. The poem illustrates a person who lives simply, who helps those who are in need of help, and doesn't get praise for it (nor desires to be praised.) So aside from its other meaning 'dekiru' or 'I can do it!', Deku as a hero name means that he doesn't seek credit for doing what should come naturally.

*** [[spoiler:Towards the end of the series, it's implied All For One's come to despise Izuku more than anybody else as well since he's the one who drove Yoichi out of his grasp forever; something not even Kudo managed to do. His hollow, bitter attitude upon reasserting himself inside Shigaraki's body has none of his normal EvilIsHammy behavior, showing the boy had managed to well and truly break the mad supervillain without even trying to.]]

* SpiderManSendUp: Midoriya has many similarities to Spider-Man with the two sharing similar personality traits, being very friendly, playful, and at times charismatic to those around him. Similarly, he also struggles with the responsibility of being a hero. He also shares some of Spidey's powers such as super strength and speed, along with a similar CombatParkour fighting style. The similarities grow stronger when [[spoiler:he gains Daigoro's Quirk, Blackwhip, which essentially acts like Spidey's webbing since Midoriya primarily uses it for capturing opponents, grabbing objects, and [[BuildingSwing moving around]]. He later gains Shinomori's Quirk, [[SpiderSense Danger Sense]], which is an almost point-for-point copy of Spider-Man's iconic power. As Izuku uses Blackwhip to augment his body, the effect heavily resembles the Venom Symbiote]]. It's also worth noting that Horikoshi has gone on record as saying that Spider-Man is his favorite American superhero.

* NightmareFace: Oddly enough, for such an endearingly designed character, Midoriya can look very unsettling when enraged - his eyes gain a somewhat maniacal streak, and he menacingly bares his teeth. [[spoiler:When he's ''extremely'' pissed, Blackwhip coils around his body, turning his eyes stark white as he loses control of One For All and it makes him rampage in a frenzy.]]

** Midoriya goes through a lot in the Paranormal Liberation War. [[spoiler:Being personally targeted by [[PersonOfMassDestruction Shigaraki]], having to witness several of his friends and close allies getting maimed at his hands, and the stress and fear of knowing that the devastation will continue until [[SuperPersistantPredator Shigaraki]] gets his hands on him. But it's only when All For One hijacks Shigaraki's body and hits Bakugo with an attack [[TakingTheBullet aimed at Midoriya]], mocking the heroes' sacrifices as '[[KickTheDog pointless]]', that Midoriya hits this. He goes utterly ''apeshit'' on Shigaraki/All For One, charging them in a feral rage with BlankWhiteEyes and tearing his way through their CombatTentacles with his bare hands and ''teeth'' just to make them pay.]]
