* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: It's implied magic is this, as the form and powers it manifests appear reliant on how the the magical girl wielding it ''expects'' such power to work. In the case of Izuku, it manifests as superpowers. Hints that magic manifests based on the magical girl's mind include the incorporation of "cute" styles that Izuku privately likes but never admitted to, and the fact that [[spoiler:magic didn't bother imitating a heart beat until Izuku woke out of his coma and expected to have one]].

* ComboPlatterPowers: Izuku being [[MagicEnhancement infused with magic]] gives him SuperStrength, SuperToughness, [[GoodThingYouCanHeal regeneration]], and the ability to spread his MagicEnhancement onto other things. It also makes his attacks uniquely destabilizing to the Gray Men, who develop gold lichtenberg marks at the places where his blows impact and fall apart entirely after enough damage from him. The variety of powers Izuku demonstrates confuses the public, who are used to OnePersonOnePower.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: [[spoiler:Inko:]] gives Izuku a variation. "Is this what you really want? The fighting? The Gray Men? [[WholesomeCrossdresser The dress?]]"

* NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow: [[spoiler:Izuku takes a spear to the chest in the battle with Chronos which destroys a significant portion of his internal organs including the entirety of his heart, but he's able to remain conscious for the rest of the battle even while impaled and power up the arrow he gave to All Might towards the end so All Might can deliver a killing blow. He even survives to regain all bodily functions without those organs after a several-week-long coma.]]

* ParentsAsPeople: Inko dearly loves her son, but the [[FantasticAbleism descrimination against him for being Quirkless]] has cost both of them a lot, and she's allowed her own self-pity to taint how she treats him, becoming a force that actively limits him to "protect" him rather than someone who emotionally supports him and helps him feel good about himself despite how the rest of the world treats him. This means that while she loves him, she also damages his self-perception through reinforcing the idea that he's weaker and less capable than everyone else. Mako notes that even when talking about how much she loves him. Inko only ever mentions his weaknesses and never his strengths. [[spoiler:Inko also takes criticism of this as a personal attack by people who don't understand how hard raising Izuku has been for her, even when the criticism comes by way of concern for how she affects Izuku. In her mind she justifies this by telling herself she's "protecting" Izuku to provide "what Izuku need[s]," but she's so self-pitying that Izuku has long developed the habit of not discussing what he needs in order to help ''her'' cope, even when he's the one experiencing direct trauma, because she unintentionally makes these conversations [[ItsAllAboutMe revolve around herself and what she can accept]]. However, when she finally realizes Izuku feels unable to confide in her she's willing to put aside her own baggage and respect his decisions, resolving to be a more supportive parent.]]

* ParentalAbandonment: It's strongly implied Izuku's father walked out on his family after Izuku was diagnosed Quirkless. [[spoiler:This affects Inko more than Izuku in the present, as the pain of this contributes heavily to Inko's unintentionally self-centered parenting choices--she still isn't over the affect Izuku's diagnosis had upon their family and her other relationships, and is still pitying herself years later.]]

* UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler:While the criminal aspect of the investigation is justified due to Minute Maid's actions being assumed illegal under vigilante laws, the city of Musutafu also chooses to sue Minute Maid in civil court for the damages caused by the Gray Men once their identity is known, effectively holding Minute Maid responsible for the damages caused by the "villains" they saved the town from. This despite the fact that Minute Maid was a child who was at that very moment in a coma after having saved the city from its own incorrect Gray Men holding practices.]]

* ItsAllAboutMe: [[spoiler:Inko, regarding Izuku, is eventually revealled to have been making parenting choices based on what makes ''her'' feel better and what ''she'' can accept, rather than what helps Izuku emotionally handle his problems and feel good about himself in spite of them. It gets to the point where Izuku very clearly has to put aside dealing with his own pains and repress expressing his own feelings and opinions in order to comfort his mother through coping with ''his'' traumatic experiences. She eventually gets better.]]

* BystanderSyndrome: After Mako expresses criticism to Inko regarding how she's more focused on how hard her own life is raising a Quirkless child than on actually supporting her son emotionally, Inko reacts with defensiveness, denial, anger and upset. Seeing this, a bystander suddenly intervenes, asking Inko if they need to call the police on Mako, and, after Mako leaves to avoid trouble, commenting to Inko "I’m glad that’s over. They really should up security in this place if they’re going to allow people like her in." Inko does and says nothing in Mako's defense during the incident.

* InstantlyProvenWrong: While discussing Izuku over lunch in the hospital cafeteria, Inko deflects Mako's criticism and defends her own flawed mentality towards parenting Izuku by telling herself Mako couldn't possibly understand the fear that someone would hurt Izuku for who he is. Inko's own upset attracts the attention of a bystander who asks her if they need to call the police on Mako, chases her off, and then comments that the hospital "really should up security in this place if they’re going to allow people like her in." Inko [[AccompliceByInaction does and says nothing to correct the man's assumptions about her and Mako's interaction or defend the person she chose to meet up with for lunch.]]

* ParentalSubstitute: Shimizu Mako, to an extent. She gives him the support he wishes his mother would give him.

* EyeColorChange: When transformed, Izuku's eyes are [[WingdingEyes yellow four-pointed stars,]] with no discernable difference between iris and pupil. [[spoiler:After his body suffers catastrophic damage in the battle against Kronos, his untransformed eyes also become half-yellow, reflecting that a much greater portion of his body now is made of, and reliant on, magic]].

* WingdingEyes: Part of Izuku's transformation turns his irises and pupils into yellow four pointed stars.
