Izuku Midoriya Vs Giorno Giovanna

#### (My Hero Academia Vs JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)

* Both are the idealistic heroic protagonists of their series, as well as inheritors of a unique supernatural legacy past down by generations of heroes (the Joestar bloodline and the One For All Quirk respectively).
* They at first started out as normal boys with no unique abilities of their own, and were bullied for this. They also had father-related issues (Giorno being abused by his stepfather and Izuku’s father not being in his life).
* However, their lives would soon change when they saved someone who was at death’s door (Giorno saving a severely-injured gangster from others who were hunting him and Izuku saving Bakugou from the Sludge Villain). After this incident, they met someone who they inspired to become, however they are on the opposite sides of the social spectrum (Giorno declaring to become a Gang-Star in honor of the gangster whom he looked up to and Izuku deciding to train in order to become the successor to All Might, the Symbol of Peace).
* Both of them have powers that works to their world’s unique power system (Stands and Quirks respectively), albeit very unique ones compared to others before them (Giorno’s Stand having the ability to manipulate life itself and the One for All Quirk hosting the spirits and powers of its previous users) and gained them not by birth, but by other means: Giorno gained his Stand via his connection with DIO when he was pierced by the Stand Arrow, and Izuku gained One for All via eating All Might’s hair, thus passing it to him.
* At some point, both would get involved in a conflict and is destined to face off against the leaders that controls the main antagonistic society of criminals/villains within the shadows (Diavolo and All For One respectively).
* They would later joined an organization in order to achieve their goals (Passione and U.A High respectively), contrasting with the fact that Passione is an Italian Mafia with gangsters and U.A is an official academy for heroes.
* Here they would meet multiple people including; a serious individual with black(ish) hair and white-colored clothes with a sense of (occasionally extreme) righteousness and justice and an odd characteristic that is memed about in the fandom, as well as acting as the face/representative of their group (Bruno Bucciarati and Tenya Iida); a tough-acting, no-nonsense person who was shaped by their world’s society, and acted as a rival to both Giorno and Izuku, never ceasing to confront them and express their contempt for their new status, yet would come to respect them later on (Leone Abbacchio and Katsuki Bakugou); and a young one who’s the least mature of the group and has a rough past which inspired them to become like those who motivated them (Narancia Ghirga and Ochaco Uraraka).
* They would also deal with a blonde-haired traitor within their midst who betrayed them due to a major event in their past, but they would later welcome them back into their group (Pannacotta Fugo and Yuga Aoyama).
* Both faced off against a mafia boss with mysterious backgrounds and identities (Diavolo and Overhaul respectively), and also protected their daughters despite not knowing a lot about who exactly they were protecting (Trish Uni and Eri).
* Eventually they would betray the association that they were with, and struck on their own (although Giorno left with Bucciarati and the others as well) in order to take down the main villain, though they would come back: Giorno (along with Team Buccarati) betrayed Passione in order to defeat Diavolo, only to come back and assume the position of the Boss, while Izuku left U.A High in order to defeat Shigaraki and All for One, only for Class 1-A to help bring him back to U.A.
* Both would unlock new abilities within their original powers that were passed down to them (Giorno unlocking Gold Experience Requiem and Izuku unlocking the Quirks for the previous One for All users).
* They would also gain new aliases for their new status, given to them by their allies ("GioGio" and "Deku" respectively).
* And they are also the (theorized for Izuku) sons to the main overarching villain of their series (Giorno being the bastard son of DIO and Izuku being speculated to be the son of All for One).
