My Hero Academia

My Hero Academia (Boku no Hero Academia in Japanese) is a manga (with an anime adaptation and a video game) about a high-school for superheroes.

In a World where 80% of people have some kind of superpower (or "Quirk" as they call it in-universe), Izuku Midoriya is one of the 20% who does not. Even so, he dreams of being a hero, idolizing the mighty All Might and planning to apply to the prestigious U.A. High School, where all the best heroes went to school (although being "Quirkless" will put him at a disadvantage). One day, he encounters All Might, and impresses him with his strength of character -- and while All Might admits that being a hero without a Quirk is basically impossible, he might be able to fix that...

"Tsuyu: ... [Katsuki] Bakugo's always angry, so he'll never be that popular. Katsuki: WHAT DID YOU SAY?! I'LL KICK YOUR ASS! Tsuyu: See?"
 * All of the Other Reindeer: Izuku got looked down on by his classmates for being Quirkless. Even his mother reacted to the "diagnosis" with pity, rather than supporting his dream of becoming a hero anyway.
 * Awesomeness By Analysis: Izuku is utterly obsessed with heroes, filling notebook after notebook with what he's learned about them. Even without tapping his power, he's a strong strategist.
 * Crime of Self Defense: After, the students involved are told that they broke the law. The cop telling them however, says that he is perfectly willing to keep how what really happened a secret and let someone else allowed to take credit to take the credit.
 * Eagleland: All Might, Type 1. The man is heroic to a fault, boisterous and friendly to all he aids, and calls his attacks names from American geography.  "TEXAS SMASH!"
 * Hour of Power: Well, three hours (per day) and falling, but 's powers are on a timer since sustaining an injury some time ago. Using them any longer risks injuring or killing him.
 * I Resemble That Remark: When Tsu comments that Katsuki is always angry, Katsuki...gets really angry.


 * Power Incontinence: Until he learns control, Izuku's super-strength destroys whatever part of his body he empowers.
 * Pretentious Latin Motto: U.A.'s motto is "Plus Ultra", or "Go Beyond".
 * Stepford Smiler: All Might is known for smiling broadly, under all circumstances, but his smile (and his heroic demeanor in general) is in part driven by the world's need for a symbol of peace.
 * Super-Hero School: U.A. is one of the most prestigious, although given that 80% of people in the world have Quirks, most schools devote at least some time to handling and training Quirks.
 * To Be a Master: While Izuku usually states his dream is to simply be a hero, on at least one occasion he states he wants to be the best hero. Katsuki also wants to be the best hero...and is utterly consumed by the thought that some of his classmates might be better.
 * Training from Hell: All Might developed a ten-month training regimen and diet to prepare Izuku's body to receive All Might's power. It was grueling enough on its own, consisting of clearing garbage (like tires, refrigerators, and other heavy detritus) from a beach with alternating muscle groups, but then Izuku added his own studying on top of it, and nearly destroyed himself.  (Fortunately, All Might caught on in time and reined him in.)
 * World of Ham: Comes of being a world with heavy influence from superhero comics. All Might and Present Mic stand out, but on the student side, Tenya and Katsuki give them a run for their money when the adrenaline starts running.
