Deconstruction and too fantastical.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Many fan works treat Nedzu as a fixture in the world of ''My Hero Academia'' whom villains must actively stop from acting against them in order to overcome, especially if the work leans into the intellectual side of warfare. Here, we have a brief glimpse building up the idea that even as Imoku ascends to power, Nedzu has caught on to Imoku's suspicious nature and they are coming into conflict--only for the story to [[TimeSkip skip to the future]] and for Aizawa's perspective to reveal that Nedzu died from natural causes relatively shortly after Imoku's rise to power, having not had the time to do more than pass his suspicions to Aizawa. While extremely intelligent, Nedzu is not human, and all of the species he is speculated to be have shorter lifespans than humans in RealLife--most of them, significantly. For example, rats, from which Nedzu is named, actually only live a maximum of four years. Bears, the longest-lived possible species Nedzu himself suggests he may be, live only into their 30s (excluding grizzlies).

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13196755/1/Another-Form-Of-Power Another Form of Power]]'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/8563/Jade-Tatsu Jade Tatsu]] is a ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' fanfic. It’s partially inspired by Manga/Sanctuary, where one criminal and one politician combine forces to manipulate the system. Tomura is the criminal who tears down Hero Society, while Izuku is the politician who capitalizes on his actions to get changes through Parliament to legally enforce a change in society. It’s a set up by All For One, who has realized that just conquering society is easy, maintaining control is the real key.

Summary: After Izuku is rejected by All Might, All For One makes an alternative offer, promising Izuku that he can save far more people if he follows his path. Izuku accepts and becomes the face of the legitimate side of All For One’s empire. That is, he takes over the businesses. He then enters parliament and as Tomura is tearing down society, Izuku is using the conflict and the revelation about the corruption of heroes to pass new rules that society would like, but ultimately lead to the destruction of heroes in society. After this is done, Izuku takes control of the League and ties up the loose ends from both the hero and villain side of society.

* BittersweetEnding: At the conclusion, after defeating his enemies Izuku doesn’t know what to do.

-->'''Izuku:''' Someone had to visit Sensei
-->'''All Might:''' Did I hurt you that much?
-->'''Izuku:''' Yes
And
-->'''Izuku:''' I'd say 'let's see' but you won't be around to see, so I would ask you to trust me, and take my word for it.
And
-->'''Izuku:''' I should have expected you to continue to try. But what did you tell me? That it was useless to try unless you were suited? So let me tell you, there is no way out of this, and you will leave no warning.
-->'''All Might:''' I didn't give in to him. I will not give in to you.
-->'''Izuku:''' I don't expect you to give in. I expect you to die.
* FalseUtopia: The hero and government system presented initially within ''Another Form of Power'' appears to be perfect and fair on a surface level. Underneath the surface, however, is a system that is horrifically corrupt. Civilians worship heroes as infallible gods that are always right, Heroes that actively abuse their powers and commit crimes get them covered up by the Hero Commission so the public doesn't lose faith in them. [[spoiler: It is Tomura’s job to show the fallings of the Hero Commission and the Heroes, while it is Izuku’s job to push legislation through Parliament that pushes for fair changes the people will want, after their eyes are opened to the truth.]]
* GovernmentProcedural: The current government of Japan is a two house system. The one presented in ''Another Form of Power'' is a single House of Representatives. It is Izuku’s job to pass legislation through the House into law that the electorates will find acceptable, [[spoiler: but which also limit the power of heroes and the Hero Commission.]]
* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Izuku maintains a very high approval rating in his electorate all through the fanfiction.
* InherentInTheSystem: The system of Heroes run by the Hero Commission is flawed, allowing Heroes, in some cases, to be the sole arbiters of justice, especially against those deemed villains. There is also no thought or care given to the real issues a Hero might face in their daily life.
* IrrationalHatred: The public hate the 20% of the population who are deemed quirkless, pushing them to live in slums and ghettos, and nicely forgetting that they are human too.
* LandslideElection: While Izuku is an [[spoiler: independent politician]] throughout the fanfiction, he never has an issue being elected.
* LawfulEvil: Izuku does not often break the law but as a politician he is responsible for creating the laws and is seen to be obeying them in public.
* LetNoCrisisGoToWaste: As part of All For One’s plan, Tomura is to highlight the failings of society. When the Heroes and the Public are in crisis, Izuku then offers solutions to the Government, who pass the required legislation that [[spoiler: effectively renders many of the heroes in training ineligible to become heroes]] and when the legislation is expanded later [[spoiler: many Heroes are then legally required to take mental health breaks.]]
* MyGreatestFailure: Izuku is this for All Might. A lack of tact and callous words crushed Izuku’s dream and left him ripe for manipulation by All For One
* NeverHurtanInnocent: During ''Another Form of Power'' Izuku is careful only to kill those who sees as not innocent. Through the first half, before the time skip, he does not directly kill anyone himself.
* NewEraSpeech: Izuku is a politician, and thus has to give several speeches over the course of the fic, including how he believes the world should be.
* NoPartyGiven: Izuku is elected as an independent to the House of Representatives. [[spoiler: He attends several party meetings and uses his quirk to ensure that the ruling party votes the way he wants.]]
* PersonaNonGrata: [[spoiler: After the fall of hero society, those who did not reintegrate into society and engage in vigilantism are hunted down by the Special Forces. Katsuki is a vigilante, and while he has contact with other members of Class 1A, he’s definitely not welcome for most of them.]]
* PlotRelevantAgeUp: After Izuku accepts All For One’s offer, he is [[spoiler: artificially aged up, using a quirk]] so that he can be elected into parliament. This way, Izuku takes over All For One’s business empire [[spoiler: aged approximately 30 years old]] with a new identity and the contacts to be able to run it.
* SurpassedTheTeacher: Izuku is taught a lot by All For One about business and politics and how to control people but once [[spoiler: legislation is passed disbanding Heroes as a profession, Izuku can’t have the original super villain return, and so he organises to visit his mentor, and have the contents of a quirk erasing bullet injected into him.]]
* VillainCred: All For One is very proud of his apprentice’s actions, and recognises [[spoiler: that Izuku has done something that will kill him. He’s not upset, just happy that the world is in good hands.]]
* VillainHasAPoint: Izuku campaigns on removing discrimination against the quirkless, or those who are deemed to have bad quirks. He couldn’t have that campaign platform if there wasn’t abuse and discrimination against the quirkless and those with ‘evil’ quirks.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: As part of the companies Izuku owns, there are several news outlets, who ensure the message is what he wants, and talk up the good work he is doing.
* VisionaryVillain: Izuku has a vision for the future, one where [[spoiler: heroes are integrated into society and are not a class apart]] and he campaigns on that.
* YouCantThwartStageOne: While the heroes are aware of what Izuku’s alter ego is doing, they wake up to the threat too late. Tomura has destroyed any public credibility they have, and [[spoiler: the government just wants the issue to go away.]]
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: Once the legislation to integrate heroes into society is passed, Tomura is wanting to run wild to show that the League has won. Izuku doesn’t allow that, and has him killed, since having villains partying in the streets would lead to the retraction of the legislation.]] Tomura has done his job.
