History Fanfic / BackToTheBeginning

* OutOfCharacterAlert: In his first appearance, Katsuki Bakugou notices that something seems to have happened to Izuku as he suddenly seems to have developed a backbone and refuses to take any crap from Katsuki, making the future Great Explision Murder God's InferiorityComplex kick in.

* AdaptationalAngstDowngrade: Himiko is found and subdued quickly after her canon psychotic break, allowing her to receive therapy and preventing her from becoming the PsychoKnifeNut she became in canon.

** Several characters such as Aizawa, Nezu, Recovery Girl, All Might, and Detective Tsukauchi meet Izuku two and a half years before UA.

* ForWantOfANail: Both Ochako's timeline and the new timeline have differed greatly from canon.
** In Ochako's timeline:
*** She met All Might when a S-Rank villain called Blastwave attacked her city and she rushed into a crumbling building to save a child. All Might, inspired by her heroic spirit, chose her to be his successsor.
*** All for One's successor was a girl named Homura Shigaraki (heavily implied to be Hana Shimura), whose Quirk allowed her to increase the speed of anything she touches.
*** Inasa Yoarashi was a Class 1-A student.
*** Since he never ran into All Might, Izuku decided to follow Eraserhead's example and attempt to transfer to the Hero Course during the Sports Festival. He manages to score eighth place before being defeated by Shoto. Izuku joined class 1-A after Sato dropped out following the training camp attack.
*** Tokoyami was kidnapped by the League during the Training Camp attack instead of Bakugo. While her classmates planned a rescue mission, Ochako opted to believe the Pros and did not join.
*** Things fell apart once All for One arrived. All Might had split his time between fighting the villain and saving the students. All Might managed to kill All for One at the cost of his own life.
*** The loss of both the Symbol of Peace and the Symbol of Evil in a single night led to a villain uprising worse than the one in canon and caused Ochako to develop serious trust issues.
*** Chizome Akaguro's carrer was an inversion of his main timeline one: He started off as Hero Killer Stain, except, he killed heroes in a metaphorical way, by airing their dirty laundry an exposing their corruption. After All Might's death in Kamino, he became the vigilante Stendhal.
** In the new timeline:
*** Something allowed Kaina Tsutsumi to escape getting sent to Tartarus, seeing her instead become a vigilante.
*** Due to Himiko and Shizu making the Hero Course, Minoru and Sero are DemotedToExtra, most likely having applied to other hero schools.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: The raid on the Shie Hassaikai happens before Overhaul can put the Boss in a coma, and just in time, as the police found equipment to sustain a comatose patient in one the hideout's rooms.

* DoppelgangerReplacementLoveInterest: {{Defied}}, by both Izuku and Ochako. Both are afraid of projecting their unresolved feelings for Uravity and Analyst on to each other, which is why it takes for long for them to realize them to realize they are in love. Eventually, the teenagers come to terms that they are in love with each other, and the feelings for their respective counterparts have long been put to rest.

*** Tokoyami was kidnapped by the League during the Training Camp attack instead of Bakugo. While her classmates planned a rescue mission, Ochako opted to believe the Pros and did not joined.

* SpiritualAntithesis: To ''Fanfic/NewGamePlus2022''. Both are fics that revolve around TimeTravel and the concept of TheMultiverse, with Izuku being sent back in time, except in ''Back to the Beginning'' he sent is sent months before canon events, with an alternate Ochako alongside him instead of alone to the events of the first chapter. In both he uses his future knowledge to attempt to fix what went wrong, such as saving Eri and preventing Himiko's StartOfDarkness, however in ''NGP'', Izuku becomes a UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom, the changes that he brings causes the timeline to get even darker, and sometimes bloodier, than the original one, establising the tone that the future is set in stone and no one can change it, that caused many readers to drop the story.

* {{Expy}}: Aika Shizu. Her quirk is activated by singing, she studies Bajiquan, and her favorite IdolSinger group is Zwei Wing. She's basically [[Anime/{{Symphogear}} Hibiki Tachibana]], as the author has confessed to liking Symphogear.

** The Yakuza Boss, upon finding out that Overhaul went on with his deranged experiments without his consent immeadiatly cooperates with the Pros and the police to arrest him.

** Just like Izuku's original timeline, Inasa Yoarashi refuses to even take UA's recommended exam, due to a disagreement with Shoto.

** [[spoiler:Yuya Aogami is still the traitor in Class 1-A.]]

* ForWantOfANail: InUniverse example in Ochako's timeline.
** She met All Might when a S-Rank villain called Blastwave attacked her city and she rushed into a crumbling building to save a child. All Might, inspired by her heroic spirit, chose her to be his successsor.
** All for One's successor was a girl named Homura Shigaraki (heavily implied to be Hana Shimura), whose Quirk allowed her to increase the speed of anything she touches.
** Inasa Yoarashi was a Class 1-A student.
