Imagine a world where your quirk determines your path and your worth. A world that has no place for a quirkless boy.
Despite that, Izuku is determined to become a hero. Until he realizes no one will let him.
So he accidentally creates a helpful (criminal) organization.
And he (not so) accidentally steals One for All.
May contain Izuku technically becoming a villain but still helping people, All Might running around like a headless chicken to find his stolen quirk, and All for One refusing to just go away.

You Will Realize That You Cannot Eat Money.
Native American saying, first written in 1972. Still relevant when more than half a century old, and we can see how it manifests itself in real time. I personally came across a version of it in Aurora's song "The Seed," originally titled "Eat Money." Quoting her "It's about human history, about how we've co-existed in the world and how we've forgotten how to live with nature and the power we have."
