History Fanfic / IzukuMidoriyaTheRabbit

* AdaptationalDumbass: Justified. This Izuku is a sapient rabbit, so he has a hard time comprehending the complexity of human thought, and never had the chance to formally attend school until U.A., only knowing as much as he does thanks to Bakugou's tutelage. He only managed to pass the written portion of the Entrance Exam by two points and is near the bottom of the class rankings when it comes to regular school work.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Izuku suffers from this frequently. {{Justified}} by the fact that [[AdaptationalSpeciesChange he's a rabbit]] with a bit of a BlueAndOrangeMorality. A good example is when he thinks the reason people keep on staring at him while at the [=U.A.=] Entrance Exams is because he has green fur, not understanding that the reason they're staring is because he's a ''literal'' rabbit (albeit a sapient one) that is trying to become a student at hero school.

** Izuku doesn't believe in this trope so much that he can't understand any concepts or beliefs beyond it; [[GoodCannotComprehendEvil he literally cannot comprehend]] [[NominalHero "Heroes" who only do their job for selfish reasons]] and not because it's the right thing to do. This, however, is {{Justified}} by the fact that Izuku [[AdaptationSpeciesChange is a rabbit]] with a minor case of BlueAndOrangeMorality who has a hard time understanding the more complex parts of human morality and behavior.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Bakugou, in the sense that he never became a bully since Izuku is just the sapient rabbit that lives in a burrow under house instead of his Quirkless ChildhoodFriend.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Izuku may be a rather naïve rabbit who frequently suffers from AttentionDeficitOohShiny and ComicallyMissingThePoint, but don't think that makes him harmless. He's a 75 pound KillerRabbit with SuperStrength, SuperSpeed, and a willingness to rip out the throat of anyone he believes is an enemy, as Aizawa almost found out.

* BigEater: Inko, who uses her Quirk to steal food to snack on. One scene sees her trying to steal the lettuce from a sandwich Todoroki is trying to make. Izuku too, once he gets to UA and is given a diet tailored to fueling his powers.

* CannotTellALie: Izuku's BlackAndWhiteMorality leaves him unwilling to tell lies or keep secrets. If he learns something that should be kept secret, he will tell someone else (usually Bakugou). Nedzu notes that the idea of such deception is foreign to animals in general, and that even he first struggled with it after he escaped the lab that was experimenting on him.
* CrackFic: While it does have serious moments, for the most part the story is this.

* ForWantOfANail: The admission of a sentient rabbit as a hero student for U.A.'s hero course eventually culminates into a [[spoiler:government revolution and the downfall of the Hero Commission.]]

* InSpiteOfANail: Despite being, you know, a ''bunny'' in this version, Izuku still interns with Gran Torino. This time, it's because Izuku asks All Might for help, as he wants to train under someone "small, fast and great at jumping" like himself. Despite knowing what a SadistTeacher Torino is, All Might can't really dispute the fact that his old teacher is probably one of the best jumpers in the world.
* KillerRabbit: Izuku might ''look'' like an adorable green bunny, and he is, but he's likely also the most powerful Quirked animal on the planet, and can lay a hell of a beatdown when he wants to.
* LiteralMinded: As a rabbit, Izuku has almost no concept of metaphor, which leads him to wildly misinterpret the words of others frequently. For example, when Todoroki makes his declaration of war to him right before the Sports Festival, Izuku thinks he believes he's a country, because Bakugou explained to him a while ago that war is something that happens between countries.
* LogicalWeakness: Despite his intelligence, Izuku is still a rabbit, and has all the same instincts as any skittish prey animal. Unlike most rabbits, he can fight back against predators, but certain situations overrides his sapience and sets off his "fight or flight" mode, such as getting dumped in the Water Area during USJ incident. He panics and mindlessly attacks anything that comes near him in the pool as he struggles to reach dry land, not realizing that one of them is Tsu trying to fish him out with her tongue. He also has trouble dealing with flying enemies, because it sets off instinctive fears of predator birds.

** When Stain is giving his filmed speech after saving Izuku from a Nomu, he loudly declares that the only heroes that can kill him are All Might... and "that rabbit", who is currently laying down, half-asleep, with his tongue sticking out.
* MotorMouth: Once Izuku gets a device from Hatsume that translates his thoughts into human speech, he becomes this by commenting on everything that catches his interest (and having AttentionDeficitOohShiny, almost everything catches his interest). When he meets Nejire, the engage in a rapid-fire question-answer conversation where one asks a question, the other answers before immediately asking their own question.
* TheNoseKnows: Unrelated to his Quirk, Izuku has an incredible sense of smell due to being a rabbit, and easily picks up scents humans can't. He helps get Mineta expelled during the Quirk Test because he can pick up the smell of fear from the girls in the class and tells Aizawa about it (after biting Mineta on the hand to get him to back off), and is the first to realize there's something wrong with All Might, since he reeks of blood.

* DiveKick: As a rabbit, most of Izuku's muscle is located in his hind legs, so while he can use the rest of his body to fight, this is one of his strongest attacks.

** Izuku is, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a rabbit]] who needs a communicator to speak with humans. When he has to give the opening speech at the Sports Festival without his communicator, most of the audience can't understand his squeaks, honks, chirps, and foot thumpings. Mirko, the only one present who ''can'' understand him, is driven to tears by how inspirational his speech was.

* BigEater: Inko, who uses her Quirk to steal food to snack on. One scene sees her trying to steal the lettuce from a sandwich Todoroki is trying to make.

** [[spoiler:Hawks, due to the Hero Commission being the true BigBad of the story instead of All For One. Here, his brainwashing by the Commission is more thorough and he has UndyingLoyalty towards them, while in canon it's implied he recognizes the corruption of the Commission and part of the reason why he's so devoted to improving hero society is so he doesn't have to do so much of their dirty work anymore. He even tries to trick Eri into coming with him so she can be trained to be a Commission agent like him]].

* BigBad: [[spoiler:The Hero Commission]].

* BlatantLies: Aizawa discovers several members of his class in Kamino ward [[spoiler:after Todoroki freezes both Twice and Toga while they were trying to escape.]] Todoroki tells him they were on a leisurely stroll, and the ice was already there when his group got there. He lets it slide because [[spoiler:he was technically acting as a vigilante as well when he went to save Izuku with All Might and the other heroes]].

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Izuku suffers from this frequently. {{Justified}} by the fact that [[AdaptationalSpeciesChange he's a rabbit]] with a bit of a BlueAndOrangeMorality. A good example is when he thinks the reason people keep on staring at him while at the [=UA=] Entrance Exams is because he has green fur, not understanding that the reason they're staring is because he's a ''literal'' rabbit (albeit a sapient one) that is trying to become a student at hero school.

* ForWantOfANail: The admission of a sentient rabbit as a hero student for U.A.'s hero course eventually culminates into a [[spoiler:government revolution and the downfall of the Hero Commission]].

-->'''Izuku''': If there's a fox in your burrow, feeling safe will get you eaten. Being scared when there could be danger is important. If the rabbit watching for danger acts like it's ok then everyone gets eaten.

* MagneticHero: Izuku, due to his earnest desire to help people, easily makes friends with others and acts as PositiveFriendInfluence to all of them. [[spoiler:When he's kidnapped by the League of Villains, ''all eighteen of his classmates'' head to Kamino to rescue him despite it being illegal, and when the Commission nabs him after he foils their attempt to make Eri into another Hawks, it leads to a ''revolution'']].

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: One of the reasons why the Pros allow Izuku to take part in the Shie Hassaikai raid instead of doing crowd control with most of the other interns is because, as an abused girl who's been tortured by almost everyone in her life since she was four, Eri is unlikely to trust any new human faces. Izuku, as a rabbit, has a significantly less-threatening appearance.

* AdaptationalSpeciesChange: Instead of a Quirkless human, Izuku is a sapient rabbit with a Quirk. Also, instead of being a human with a gecko Quirk, Spinner is a gecko with an ape Quirk, specifically a human.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Mirko appears in the story at the Sports Festival, long before her canon appearance during the pro-hero rankings announcement and the fight between Endeavor and the High-End Nomu.

** [[spoiler:Hawks, due to the Hero Commission being the true BigBad of the story instead of All For One. Here, his brainwashing by the Commission is more thorough and he has UndyingLoyalty towards them, while in canon it's implied he recognizes the corruption of the Commission and part of the reason why he's so devoted to improving hero society is so he doesn't have to do so much of their dirty work anymore]].

* BlackAndWhiteMorality: Izuku doesn't believe in this trope so much that he can't understand any concepts or beliefs beyond it; [[GoodCannotComprehendEvil he literally cannot comprehend]] [[NominalHero "Heroes" who only do their job for selfish reasons]] and not because it's the right thing to do. This, however, is {{Justified}} by the fact that Izuku [[AdaptationSpeciesChange is a rabbit]] with a minor case of BlueAndOrangeMorality who has a hard time understanding the more complex parts of human morality and behavior.

* CannotTellALie: Izuku's BlackAndWhiteMorality leaves him unwilling to tell lies or keep secrets. If he learns something that should be kept secret, he will tell someone else (usually Bakugou).

* MoodWhiplash: A lot of serious moments in canon become unintentionally hilarious when Izuku gets involved, resulting in this. For example, when Stain is giving his filmed speech after saving Izuku from a Nomu, he loudly declares that the only heroes that can kill him are All Might... and "that rabbit", who is currently laying down, resting, with his tongue sticking out.

* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Along with Koda, in this story Mirko's Quirk allows her to speak fluent Rabbit, which makes her one of the only humans able to speak with Izuku in his native tongue.

* AbusiveParents: Endeavor, as in canon, though it comes out far earlier than in canon due to the fact Izuku CannotTellALie. Mitsuki's actions toward Katsuki is treated much more seriously than in canon, with him becoming a ward of U.A. after Izuku tells of it too.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Mirko appears in the story at the Sports Festival, long before her canon appearance during the fight between Endeavor and the High-End Nomu.

* BlatantLies: Aizawa discovers several members of his class in Kamino ward [[spoiler:after Todoroki freezes both Twice and Toga while they were trying to escape.]] Todoroki tells him they were on a leisurely stroll, and the ice was already there when his group got there.

* EloquentInMyNativeTongue: Izuku is, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a rabbit]] who needs a communicator to speak with humans.

* HopeBringer: [[DeconstrutedTrope Izuku sums up the problems]] with hope bringers: that they may give people a false sense of security and stop them from realizing they are in danger and need to act.
