Fridge Brilliance:
- When Hitoshi Marubashi and Shizuku Kendai find they both have Meta abilities, the latter jokes about the fact that the two of them go by the Zero nickname, saying that adding two zeroes to another number makes that number bigger. It was the mixing of their Quirks with Yoichi (one) Shigaraki's that gave birth to One for All, which makes its bearer more powerful.
- Izuku did, in a roundabout way, destroy Endeavor's reputation and career, but not the way he and others probably expected or intended. Instead, Endeavor chose to confess his Domestic Abuse after hearing Izuku's speech during the Sports Festival, which pushed him to realize on his own just how monstrous he had become in the pursuit of his rivalry against All Might. It also proves consistent with Izuku's desire to save people; through his actions and words, through inspiring others to be better, he ultimately saved Endeavor and his family from a far worse fate.
- All for One's internal monologue calls all the heroes by their Quirks - save for three people: his brother, All Might and Izuku. The former is an obvious sign of how he sees everyone not under his control - someone whose only worth is their Quirk and how useful it might be for him. The latter is because the three of them only had One for All, and using that to refer to them would mean implicitly acknowledging they owned said Quirk, when, in his own mind, One for All belongs to him.
- It actually goes further than that: AfO initially refers to Izuku exclusively as "the ninth holder"; he only starts referring to him by his hero name after his attempt to steal One for All backfires, thus implying that he mostly reserves names for those who've proven themselves to be credible threats to him.
- Chapter 55 reveals that All for One didn't start to call All Might by his hero name until the fight where both of them ended up crippled.
