Series Summary - A collection of stories of an AU when Miruko is the one that mentors Midoriya the Work Studies. Shenanigans ensue, of course, with some feelings being thrown in there.
[FIND THE SERIES HERE!]
🐇
[Links to the individual stories are in the titles!]
Beware of the Bunnies - What if Midoriya hadn't gone to Endeavor Agency? What if he had chosen to do his work studies with another top Pro Hero? Midoriya decides to do Work Studies with the Rabbit Hero, Miruko. Honestly, it all seemed pretty good. At first. Apparently, these two bunnies often find themselves in the odd situations. Whether it's the fault of someone else or they brought it upon themselves.
Lucky, Happy Rabbit - Whether it was someone's quirk, a struck of good karma or something else, Miruko has a lot of good things happen to and around her today.
Rabbits in the Burrow - Bakugou wasn't the only one that goes into a spiral when getting the news about Midoriya’s condition.
Uhm, okay, HOOKED on The Masked Singer and am totally team #RabbitMask
Like, whoever is under that mask has a wide range of talent, way to go dude.

Okay, folks, today I decided to bother you with my thoughts about my #1 favorites Rumi Usagiyama and Izuku Midoriya, AKA Miruko and Deku. Specifically, how they're similar.
Now, if you've been following me for some time, you've probably seen the posts I have already written before about them being similar. This post is just a more organized collection of those posts with a few added things.
Here are the links though of those posts if you're interested!
🐇 First I Talked About Their Similarities
🐇 The Rabbit Duo
🐇 There's 3 of Them
This is also NOT a ship post for these two. I am very quick to block anybody who reblogs this post as such.
I hate them together romantically. They're my "big sister, little brother" duo.
Without further ado, let's move forward and discuss these similarities.
First!
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE!!
I know, I know. At first glance they share nothing alike, obviously. But I need you to open your eyes here. Just listen, listen.
Both Miruko and Midoriya are pint-sized powerhouses when compared to everyone else around them. Both are considerably short, have scars and pack muscle. Both even started off with no muscle when start their journeys into Hero-hood.
Costumes! Oh, yes! Their costumes share some similarities! The base colors are their signature colors (white - Miruko, green - Midoriya).
There's also the fact they both wear white/light colored gloves which are very important to their character. Miruko has been wearing hers since her middle school days (check out Vigilantes). Midoriya’s gloves' importance is obvious, they're important tools for his skill set. Hands symbolism, you know.
Accessories! Both wear something around their neck. Miruko wears has a tuft of fur around her neck. Midoriya has a breathing mask that is most of the time around his neck. They also wear armor pieces, including on their feet. They also have a thing for thigh-highs. SPOILER! Both even acquire new support gear for their arms. (EDIT: *deep sigh* When you're caught up with the manga...)
SKILL SET/FIGHTING STYLES!!
This is mad nuts to me that even though Midoriya switched to kicking more because of Iida (if I'm remembering right), his kick style comes off more Miruko. They share kicking in their move set. Hell, can even break through walls with kicks. (Miruko being able to do it just out of raw power is amazing to me. Why is she just #5 again?)
Of course, there's also the fact they both rely on speed and strength.
It doesn't just stop there. They're both very analytical in battle. Miruko was able to figure out that the High End Nomu relied on long range attacks. Before that, just by listening, she figured out that Dr. Garaki was getting antsy about something and sure enough she was right. With Midoriya, we see it almost every single time.
RABBIT THEMED
With Miruko, it is very obvious. So I'm sure I don't have to explain anything. With Midoriya, I'll clear it up!
His costume has rabbit ear-like protrusions attached on the hood, he does the hopping and the jumping.
There's also the behavior. Rabbits are very cute, they look defenseless. But they're also very active and willing to put up a fight if they have to in danger. Rabbits can get destructive, as both Miruko and Midoriya do. Rabbits are also timid. Midoriya started off as timid and it's still present, just lessens as the story goes on.
PERSONALITIES & ACTIONS
Since the topic was touched on, yeah, they have similar personality traits. I know someone is gonna go "but Miruko is just like Bakugou", which yeah is true. But so is Midoriya.
Both Miruko and Midoriya are stubborn and hard-headed as hell. They tend to land themselves in situations they choose to put themselves in. Miruko choose to involve herself in a lot of fights during her middle school to high school years. She is also the same hero to come to Endeavor and Hawks' aid. That was a choice. Mind you, same hero that doesn't like teamwork, yet doesn't mind lending a hand when needed. Even during her time as a student, she still cooperated with O'Clock and Rappa during the Underground Fight Arc. Midoriya is the same way. He could have not gone after Iida when he confronted Stain. He could have not gone after Kota. But he choose to. Both choose to take action, even when it's risky, because it's what a hero would do to save someone. Whether you want to admit it or not for Miruko, she isn't a heartless person. She takes her duty as a Pro Hero seriously. If someone needs saving, she's hopping there. Same for Midoriya.
With that, once they're in those situations, someone is always there to tell them to step out, but they don't. In battles they fought in, even battered and bruised to the point they should opt out, they still insist on fighting. They don't care that they're bleeding or their arms are beyond functional, they get reckless, they still want to keep going. Again, they're hard-headed, but with good intentions. They want to get the job done. They want to make sure everyone is safe before they can rest.
They tend to also go in fights alone! As much as they are willing to work with others, these two throw caution out the window and head into the danger while thinking "Me, Myself and I". But not for selfish reasons! Here's the thing with Miruko. She isn't the type of person to care about fame. She isn't. She just wants to prove she can pull her own weight, that she is strong. (I go into details about in a theory post here.) That is the same case for Midoriya. And it lies as a problem for him. The Vigilante Deku Arc is a prime example of this.
OTHER SIMILARITIES!!
Their middle school years is where it all starts for them. Miruko had begun to be recognized as a fighter during her time in middle school where she would often get into trouble for fighting. She eventually got expelled from her middle school and for a while there was no word of her until her high school years where she is attending a hero school. (Check out this other theory post!) For Midoriya, that's when his hero journey starts. We all know the story. All Might, the Sludge Villain, getting OFA.
AFO wanted/wants to take their quirks. That's right. AFO wants to get OFA from Midoriya. During Miruko's high school years, AFO attempted to take her quirk. He actually was watching an Underground fight to steal quirks, but he opted out because it was getting bored. Then, Miruko (Tiger Bunny at the time) arrived on the scene and he was just "Oh, never mind, I'll take her quirk".
They have the same blood type, O.
They're also water signs. Miruko is a Pisces (March 1st) and Midoriya is a Cancer (July 15th).
Both got Yuki Hayashi's Revengers played over their fight scenes in season 6.
That's all I really have for now. I probably left out a few things, but I did link some posts for you to check out if there's more you want to read!
Now how am I supposed to believe these two aren't alike when they're both doing this? It's practically the same battle pose!
They're ready for that action and they're not being shy about it!
(Big Sis Miruko, Little Bro Midoriya -> that's them to me and I accept no other way.)
kiya i am frothing at the mouth i am having an awful day people have 0 respect for fanfic writers. tell me some cute deku and rumi headcanons queen please
First, whoever done upset Kitty... *menacing stare*
HAVE SOME DAMN RESPECT, PEOPLE!!
Anyways!!
Miruko definitely encourages a lot of Izuku's behavior. Not in a bad way. Once she became his mentor, he learns to have a bit more confidence in himself. Also how to be more fluid in his moves.
In vice versa, Miruko also learns from him. She grows more compassionate and along with her soft spot for the kid. She has some self reflection seeing his self-sacrificing tendencies and habit of keep going despite obtaining multiple injuries. I actually talked about that here!
They once rescued a bunch of animals and nearly kept all of them. They almost cried when they had to let go of the bunnies, of course they did.
Miruko so far has met Inko one time. Miruko is an honorary Midoriya.
Turns out, Miruko is an All Might fan, but she also has heard about Nana before from books and whatnot. She brought her up once and made All Might cry. Didn't mean to, but she now can say she got a hug from All Might.
Much later down the line, All Might started making bento lunches for her, too.
They once saved an old lady from a villain and in turn, whenever they pass by her bakery, they get a free pastry. No matter how much they try to pay her up front, she insists it's on the house.
Miruko often calls Izuku "little bun-bun" or "kit". In her phone, she has a 🐇 by his name.
Just as he can with All Might, Izuku can mimic Miruko really well and she is impressed.
They have combo moves, beware of super strong kicks otherwise you will wake up in the hospital.
Despite not even graduating yet, Izuku had gotten the title of "cutest sidekick" one time, Miruko teased him for it.
For now, that's all I have of this duo that I adore so much.
I hope you feel better!! 💫💜
