* [[Big Damn Heroes]]:
** Both of All Might's rescues are played in this light, because of his grandiose appearance.
** Midoriya's leap to save Uraraka in the entrance exam is played in an equally flashy light and is one of the most iconic scenes from this story.

** Izuku Midoriya: he's first shown standing up for a battered boy, defending him from bullies. This highlights his compassionate, considerate nature and his inability to ignore those in danger.

** Ochako Uraraka: the first thing she does is stop Midoriya from face-planting with her Quirk and wishing him luck on the exam; this goes a long way to show that she's a tender, compassionate young lady.

* [[Hidden Purpose Test]]: The entrance exam. While villain points are a valid source of scoring, the exam is also graded on rescue points, unbeknownst to most of the examinees.

* [[The Mentor]]: By virtue of Midoriya accepting his offer of One For All, All Might takes Midoriya on as his pupil, and they've been in this relationship since.
⚫
* [[Restored My Faith in Humanity]]: All Might is a [[Stepford Smiler|Stepford Smiling]] cynic and pessimist starting to doubt his own purpose, until Midoriya makes a selfless attempt to save Bakugo from the Sludge Villain.
* [[Muscles Are Meaningful]]: All Might stresses that if he were to be granted One For All in his current [[Geek Physique]], it would destroy him from the inside out. Therefore, Midoriya is put on a 10-month workout regimen and it eventually pays off.

* [[Nothing but Skin and Bones]]: When his power limit goes out, All Might goes from a muscle-bound giant with a wide smile to a sickly, emaciated man with messy hair and sunken eyes.

* [[Shirtless Scene]]: When Midoriya finishes his cleanup, he's seen shirtless, screaming at the top of his lungs. To boot, he's now [[Mr. Fanservice|fit as a fiddle]].

* [[Skyward Scream]]: After having cleaned the entirety of Takoba Municipal Beach Park, Midoriya stands atop the pile of rubbish and screams victoriously, having transformed from a skinny "limp noodle", as All Might called him, to a lean, ripped and fit young man.

* [[Tears of Joy]]: Three times for Midoriya: the first, when All Might tells him he can become a Hero; the second, when he finishes his training, remarking how blessed he feels; the third is when he learns he passed the entrance exam. All Might occasionally ribs him about how often he cries.
* [[Then Let Me Be Evil]]: Lighthearted example; Iida is at first a little miffed at having to play the bad guy in the roleplaying exercise, but once he devotes himself to it - and his teammate - he manages to act like [[Evil Is Hammy| the typical hammy villain]] wonderfully.
* [[Training Montage]]: Midoriya's intense workout is given one, where he does all sorts of exercises to strengthen his physique to inherit One For All.

* [[Training from Hell]]: The training regimen All Might gives Midoriya seems hellish enough - telling him to clear a beach that has become strewn with decades worth of junk, along with the usual calisthenics and special diet - but Midoriya is so determined to succeed he actually does ''more'' than his mentor demands.
