A yakuza group is secretly released from the prison in order to prevent Overhaul from taking over their turf. They will become this world's League of Villains.

That in itself was not the issue since in upper-class society, marriages are arranged and having lovers are normal, even to the point of being rather open about them. The issue with Mei's uncle was that he pretended to love his official wife while having secret mistresses and the dishonesty is what caused issues.

Dead on Arrival (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_15b09af9	comment	Heelâ€“Face Door-Slam: One enlightened individual realises the problem with this trope and the wisdom of the Villain Rehabilitation Program the Metahuman Network has. If one powerful metahuman wants to turn good, you do not reject them, as that more or less guarantees they keep doing dangerous criminal acts with a lot of innocent casualties. Zigzagged with the Moderates. After the mind-control is lifted over the majority of the global governmental, political, scientific, and media elites, most of the Moderates in Japan decide enough is enough and jump ship in exchange for the amnesty Defiant offers, but Hagakure is excluded since her crimes include an attempted assassination on Japan's Prime Minister, and even with Defiant being the Number One Hero of Japan, he can't help her shrug that off. So Hagakure flees Japan for the United States and becomes a Hero there. Izuku for his part is happy to not bring up her history to the US authorities.

Dabi and Firestorm are both first-generation, and they're gleeful arsonists. Carnage is another first-generation, and he's a vicious murderer who kills because he can. Even Overhaul, who is relatively stable, is a complete sociopath with no qualms about committing mass murders and other atrocities.

Dead on Arrival (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_20f689e9	type	Adaptational Villainy
Dead on Arrival (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: The villains in this story tend to take much more horrific actions than in canon. And instead of being in a society where Heroes are seen as champions, and All Might as the number One Paragon and Winner above all, this is a post World War III society where crime runs rampant, and the police can barely do their job. As a result, many characters are members of villain groups as opposed to heroes in canon. By not growing up with heroes or All Might to admire, Katsuki is left only with the worst of his personality, to the point where Izuku hates him, his family has disowned him, and other characters are horrified when they learn of his actions to the point of comparing them with war crimes. Burnin (called Blaze and later Firestorm in this story) is a first-generation quirk user, which makes her mentally unstable, and a pyromaniac with no worries for the safety of others. Shirakumo Oboro was a hero student in canon before his death and being turned into a Nomu. Here, he is a willing villain. Togaru Kamakiri, Sei Kaibara, Kashiko Sekigai, Shihai Kuroiro, Hiryu Rin, and Kaminari Denki were hero students in canon. Here, they are part of the Abegawa Tenchu Kai Yakuza. Nedzu is an SSS-Rank Villain working for the Meta Liberation Army as the head of the Meta-Abilities Research Division. Ryuko Tatsuma was a hero in canon. Here, her dragon instincts make her haughty and greedy which leads to her joining Kuroiro's League of Villains after the Gunga Mountain Raid, albeit under some degree of duress since she wanted to be the leader. Also joining the League of Villains after the raid are Yo Shindo, Saiko Intelli, Seiji Shishikura, and Camie Utsushimi. Zigzagged with Hagakure Tooru. She was a hero student in canon. Here, she's a Well-Intentioned Extremist who is part of a terrorist organisation that has done very bad things to stop another organisation, including starting World War Three in a genuine belief it was necessary. She later pulls a Heelâ€“Face Turn and becomes a proper hero. Romero Fujimi was a hero student in canon. Here, he joins the Shie Hassaikai Yakuza after the Gunga Mountain Raid.

They'd like to save the day with no casualties, even on the enemy's side, but they know that's not feasible and will inflict serious injury or kill their opponents if that results in the best outcome for everyone.

Aizawa is a mundane (if high-ranking) police officer. Many other characters that are Heroes in canon are also either mundane law enforcement or military. Yagi is a politician. Backdraft is a firefighting chief.

Dead on Arrival (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_2737c505	type	Shoot the Dog
Dead on Arrival (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_2737c505	comment	Shoot the Dog: The good guys imprisoning villainous metahumans at the secret detention facility they call Tartarus without trial under less than ideal circumstances for the prisoners is explicitly stated by themselves to be unconstitutional, but since the alternatives are either letting them run rampant or executing them without trial, the police and heroic metahumans settle on that as a short-term moral compromise until fairer methods of incarceration that actually work can be implemented. Because of Dabi's sheer power and disposition, Aizawa gives the order that if he is engaged where there are civilians, the police and Metahuman Network are to fight to kill. Izuku reluctantly agrees as apprehending him is not as important as civilian lives. This principle extends to other dangerous Villains and even non-superpowered criminals. If they're that dangerous, superpowers or not, fight to kill. Things in Japan are bad enough anyway that the public won't care as long as they aren't blatant about it. Rabbit strongly suspects Aizawa told Sorahiko to execute Overhaul when he is delivered to Tartarus as he is too dangerous to contain properly before trial, and his Quirk is too powerful to risk falling into All for One's hands. Izuku thinks Sasaki grooming him into the Number One Hero of Japan without talking to him about it is of questionable morality, but given how desperately Japan needs hope and his own state of being, understands where he is coming from. Aizawa gives the directive to Izuku that any SSS-Rank Villains are kill-on-sight where possible. The threat a villain of that calibre poses to Japan is too high to risk the country's safety by merely imprisoning them.

Dead on Arrival (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_2bdfcf74	comment	Offscreen Villain Dark Matter: Deconstructed by Sasaki when discussing the possibility of a large conspiracy hiding the existence of metahumans. Among other issues, a conspiracy that large simply isn't sustainable. Eventually, someone is going to notice the suspicious money and logistical flows. You'd have to bribe them to not reveal anything, but that results in more things to cover up. Repeat the process and it just gets too big. Sasaki didn't take into account judicious use of mind-control, which is how the Council of Twelve managed to cover up metahuman existence for so long.

The Metahuman Network thinks one of Destro's recruitment methods is to have some of his people pose as a government anti-metahuman black ops unit that kidnaps metahumans, and then have different people subsequently free them and offer recruitment into his forces, and after their treatment at the "government's" hands, they'd gladly join. The truth is the Meta Liberation Army are not aware that Nedzu took over the facility. Overhaul and the League help themselves to some of those prisoners during and after the raid.

Inquisitor's Quirk forces people to tell him the truth. It explicitly has little use in combat, but it's true worth is information-gathering, intelligence operations, and counter-intelligence. He's the perfect interrogator, and as long as he knows which questions to ask, can find out anything and everything he wants. He's considered a high-priority target for the Metahuman Network and their allies for this reason in spite of technically being a D-Rank villain.

Izuku with his Telekinesis is an absolute powerhouse, but his genetic disorder makes him very weak physically speaking. Overhaul can do anything to anybody and anything he touches, but a good shot to the head would be enough to kill him (a fact that makes him typically act as a backseat commander). And Izuku's Telekinesis is a perfect counter to him. Momo only had her quirk for less than two years, so she doesnâ€™t have the years of experience and knowledge that she has in canon, nor the training to use any of the weapons that she could create, and less training and practice in general than that a police officer. Izuku would not put her on the frontlines, not even by a long shot.

Uraraka's backstory quickly establishes that her parents were killed during the third World War. The Shizuoka Massacre ends with Itsuka Kendou, Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, Yosetsu Awase, Nagamasa Mora, Togaru Kamakiri, Sei Kaibara, and Kashiko Sekigai as the fatalities from the Shie Hassaikai's attack. Hekiji Tengai is among the Shie Hassaikai members who are tortured to death by the League. Yokumiru Mera is assassinated by Tenko before the Gunga Mountain raid. The Gunga Mountain Raid ends with Spinner, Backdraft, Tensei Iida, Edgeshot, Manual, and Inasa Yoarashi all dying during the battle. Kyudai Garaki is also revealed to have been killed a year before the battle thanks to Nedzu. After a long fight, Inko Midoriya is killed during the aftermath of the Gunga Mountain raid thanks to Katsuki Bakugou, who demanded both her and Izuku's death so he could be recruited into the Shie Hassaikai. Izuku ends up returning the favor to Katsuki, ripping the villain to shreds with his quirk. Chronostasis also dies due to Torino catching him fleeing from the fight between Inko and Katsuki and blowing his head off with a shotgun. Dabi is killed in battle by Shouto at Hosu during the final confrontation with Overhaul. Muscular is killed during the final battle with Overhaul as well. Overhaul dies after his final battle with Defiant. In the epilogue, thirteen years after the establishment of the Hero Association, Ochako dies during a rescue operation. Izuku later dies aged 54 due to heart failure. A few years later, Mei dies in a lab accident. Tsuyu lives to old age and dies aged 98.

Numerous first-generation quirk users are unstable and destructive due to their quirks influencing them that way compared to the more stable second-generation ones. This has also resulted in several heroes in canon being villains like Burnin, who is a pyromaniac on par with Dabi. Unfortunately for All for One, the first-generation quirks he steals also negatively influence him. Two hundred years after the end of the main story, he is still holding a grudge over being defeated, and Yoichi suspects that is due to the Immortality Quirk he stole being a first generation one that froze his mindset.

Dead on Arrival (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_6454966e	comment	The villains in this story tend to take much more horrific actions than in canon. And instead of being in a society where Heroes are seen as champions, and All Might as the number One Paragon and Winner above all, this is a post World War III society where crime runs rampant, and the police can barely do their job. As a result, many characters are members of villain groups as opposed to heroes in canon.

According to the author regarding the backstories of their other fics, this was a big reason why the Dawn of Quirks was so much worse than in this fic: the Moderates didn't realize the government (who were only exposed to unexplainably hostile metahumans from day one) would remain hostile to them even after the mind control was broken.

His death results in Overhaul's organisation being less effective and is a key factor in his final defeat.

Dead on Arrival (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_a96d230	comment	Superior Successor: The first users of meta-abilities started to appear about twenty years ago, but their abilities were either weak or powerful but unstable sometimes to the level of becoming self-destructive and influencing their users mentally (the so-called first-generation metahumans of the latter group are as a result typically villains). The second generation started to manifest their abilities about two years ago, are usually between seventeen and nineteen years old, and their abilities are neither unstable nor self-destructive, some are weak but they are a minority. In nearly every category except power, and even then not by much, the second-generation meta-ability users are superior. ALL metahuman organizations established in this story prove superior the The Moderates and Radicals. While the Council remnants are mainly older and have had more time to train their powers, they tend to see their meta-abilities as just tools installed in their bodies and are used to the simple and straightforward manifestations they have. All newer organizations (Hero Association, MLA, even the League and Overhaul's forces) have much more versatile powers they treat as an extension of themselves, giving them an advantage. They also are FAR better at considering the long-term effects of their actions, unlike the Council members (who are either focused on maintaining the status quo or breaking it without thinking of how to make it better later).

By opposing him, the Metahuman Network and their allies are able to gain valuable experience, as well as test what works and doesn't before it gets applied more broadly. He also accidentally helped sell the idea of sanctioned superheroes to the public when he demanded a public battle with the Metahuman Network and their allies, got it, and is beaten in an epic way that solidified the positive image of superheroes in Japan and the world.

The former even gets a statue at U.A.. Tsuyu is the key reason why the rights of Mutants are so strong, and has so many descendants they make up a not insignificant part of Japan's population. Mei is immortalised in history as the first Support Engineer.

Dead on Arrival (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_dfa40c1b	comment	Didn't See That Coming: The Gunga Mountain Raid was a complete clusterfuck because of several reasons. One, there were three SSS-Rank Villains present, a category the Metahuman Network and their allies did not ever think was possible. Two, it turns out Overhaul played them with the "defector" who was actually meant to point them to the Gunga Mountains so that the Metahuman Network bears the risk of attacking an unknown force while Shie Hassaikai gets the spoils. Three, it turns out there is a fourth faction with stakes in the facility who arrived and made things even more chaotic. After Yagi hears all that, he changes his mind about firing Aizawa and instead commends him for how the casualties on his side were surprisingly low in light of all that. All For One repeatedly encounters this: Defiant resisting his Quirk and nearly killing him in the hospital (while revealing he's Yoichi's son), the MLA having thousands of metahumans with abnormal Quirks and the means to hide them from detection, Aiko switching sides at the end of the story... Chameleon didn't expect any of how her conversation with Defiant went, from detecting her following him to him refusing an alliance (despite being Yoichi's child).

Making sure there is as positive an image as possible affects several decisions they make. When Prime Minister Nana Shimura reveals the existence of Metahumans, she pretends her government knew about it and was working on the issue all along since the last thing anyone needs is the government collapsing due to lack of faith in it.

This does not stop the protagonists from doing their best to change things around, with key successes such as working out the kinks in the fledgling hero system before the Japanese Government officially adopts the system. Validating all the optimists, the best anyone hoped for was metahumans being accepted and Japan and the world only suffering a decade of chaos, but the Metahuman Network's and allies' spectacular victory over the Shie Hassaikai, the first documented supervillain organisation, which was broadcasted live, got people believing they don't have to worry about the chaos and skip straight to stability as soon as possible. The author outright states that Defiant's actions brought about the Age of Heroics thirty years early, and that the supremacist groups of their other fics are functionally nonexistent due to less of a divide between Quirkless and Quirked.

Dead on Arrival (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_fd4f8299	comment	Well-Intentioned Extremist: Yoichi Shigaraki, One For All's first Holder, was this to the same - if not greater - degree than his brother, allowing the latter to take over the world through mind control of its leaders, before deciding that it leads to nowhere. His reaction to that and his brother's refusal to see reason? Causing the Dawn of Quirks (despite the risk of it resulting in the Quirk Singularity destroying the world centuries in the future), and causing World War III - with a death toll measurable in millions directly from the war, and more deaths happening due to the aftereffects of the war - to break All for One's tight control over the world.

Dead on Arrival (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_fdc1e848	comment	Will They or Won't They?: Defied. When Mei realises she likes Izuku, she decides that going through the phase where both parties awkwardly dance around each other on their feelings is a waste of time and confesses to him as soon as possible.

Dead on Arrival (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_fed93e1b	type	Dark and Troubled Past
Dead on Arrival (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_fed93e1b	comment	Dark and Troubled Past: In a post-war world that is about to go through the Dark Age of Quirks, this is expected for everyone. Izuku suffers from a medical condition where torn muscles don't heal properly and his adopted sister died of suicide either due to Bakugo's abuse or to stop him from hurting Izuku anymore. This also affects Inko and Bakugo's parents. Tsuyu was abandoned by her parents following the development of her uncanny features and grew up in the wild. It is later revealed her parents also abandoned her brother and sister. Ochako's is worse than Izuku's by a substantial degree. Deserters from Japan's military turned to banditry while posing as guerrillas. They murdered her parents and their leader captured her and raped her. Then she accidentally killed them all while escaping. Mina's parents were murdered and she was kidnapped by a gang and forced to dispose of material evidence, including bodies, for the gang. This included the bodies of her own parents. Even when she escaped, she still had to walk for miles alone just to find her friend's home. Mustard was tricked by a girl as a part of a campaign of bullying that resulted in him being gang-raped. Rabbit had his body altered by his mother's Quirk to look more girly. Without Eri reverting him to before the biggest changes, he might not live to his forties. Immortal was found in a one-woman organ farm. She's a war orphan whose sole remaining relative put her there.
