* ForWantOfANail: Izuku becoming a magical girl changes the story, from major things like [[spoiler:Izuku dying and becoming the front-line warrior against Residue/Gray Men]] to potentially minor things like [[spoiler:Bakugou never being caught by the sludge villain]].

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Izuku dies and is subsequently resurrected in the very first chapter. [[spoiler: Reminders of his death cause him to panic and even dissociate at times.]]

* {{Moe}}: Partially subverted, but mostly it's just Izuku being himself. He can't help it. The boy's a cinnamon roll.

* Meido: Justified and partially subverted, because Izuku is a boy. [[spoiler: And though Handyman likes making magical dresses, actually, Izuku does like wearing them, even though it took Handyman putting him in one to admit it.]]

* Moe: Partially subverted, but mostly it's just Izuku being himself. He can't help it. The boy's a cinnamon roll.

* MommasBoy: A huge element of this fic. Just like in canon, he has a very close relationship with his mother. [[spoiler:Their relationship, though, is a mess due to their lack of communication. Their relationship is also rooted in Midoriya Inko's, and thus Izuku's, belief in his lack of power and lessened capabilities. Their relationship is one of the causes for Izuku's low self-esteem, even if Inko didn't intend for it.]]

* HumansAreFlawed: There are several characters who make many mistakes that has either a minor or major affect on the world around them. [[spoilers: Acknowledging and attempting to correct those flaws will be important in improving their own state of being as well as others.]]

* SociallyAwkwardHero: Izuku, big time. Because of his quirklessness and his social status, he's not accustomed to talking with other people than his mother very often. [[spoilers:This comes particularly strongly when talking with law enforcement because he became a vigilante when he started using his magical powers.]]

* OriginalCharacter: Oh boy, there are ''a lot'' of them. Handyman, Inspector Yayoi, Detective Hashiro, Nightquake, Climantine, Mach Barrier, Blackjack, Falcon, Copper Devil, and Shimizu Mako are just to name a few.

* SenseiChan: Mostly Averted. She is a subjectively attractive teacher with a close relationship with her student, Izuku, but she has explicitly expressed [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/11654781/chapters/33049623 no romantic interest in him whatsoever]].

* FanBoy: Izuku still has his several hero notebooks, with ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/11654781/chapters/33049623 even the police impressed by his attention to detail]]''.

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: Despite it being the year 2224, there is not much different from normal society save for the heroics and villainy that's a common entity in various Boku no Hero AlternateUniverses.

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: Despite it being the year 2224 [[spoiler:, the year that Izuku dies,]] there is not much different from normal society save for the heroics and villainy that's a common entity in the Boku no Hero Universe.

* SharkMan:Izuku's Muay Thai instructor is 22 year-old Shimuzu Mako, who has a mutant type shark Quirk.

* RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude: JustifiedTrope, as said by Inspector Yayoi, ''“Because even when the adults are called on, it doesn’t mean they’ll act. Girls, young ones, who are often socially discriminated against, who have their emotions demeaned and caricatured, who are often told more what they can’t do rather than what they can, would fight tooth and nail to feel important, like the things they do actually mean something, like they can affect the world around them. It's often the young girls that feel the need for power, and so the universe grants it to them, knowing they often will use it when given a target…”''

* GovernmentAgencyofFiction: The International Special Forces Unit.
