A Darker Deku
Half of My Hero Academia Chapter 317 is all about how the top pro heroes escaping the explosive trap that All For One set for them. Endeavor, Hawks, Best Jeanist, Mt. Lady, Kamui Woods, Edgeshot all have concerns about the current strategy the heroes are taking - which seems to be eroding hero culture faster than they can stop the villains.
The other concern is if All For One or the media learn the truth about One For All's true nature and its connection to All For One. That proves to be a valid concern, as there is clearly something wrong with Deku, a secret the heroes can't have leaked out at this critical juncture.
The final half of My Hero Academia's new chapter shows Deku in a dark new costume and mask, obsessively taking on All For One's hired guns to find the archvillain's location. Izuku won't even stop to listen to All Might's concerns (or receive his help), before charging off for the next fight. A voiceover describes the urban myth that Deku is creating, noting that "Rumors say he's caked with blood and filth, which cover up his many scars. Looking at him, you'd never guess he was a hero."
All Might understands that Izuku Midoriya is having his heroic spirit crushed under a huge burden: keep everyone safe by taking the fight against All For One on his shoulders, alone. However, as My Hero Academia fans are now pointing out, Deku's descent really is a major mistake, given the history and themes of the series...

My Hero Academia 317: This chapter is sad, I see that many are sharing this look of Deku as if it were something cool, but it's just the opposite, he's pushing everyone away to protect others becoming more and more alone, the same mistakes that Nana Shimura and All Might made. pic.twitter.com/HQV5nrxeib

All Might sees Deku making the same mistake he and his mentor made - but can you ever break the cycle?

Given the hero Izuku Midoriya wanted to be when My Hero Academia began, this version of a Deku truly is a twisted reflection of that happy ideal.

Can we still trust Izuku's narration at the opening of My Hero Academia? Or is he leaving some key details out - like the time he went full Batman?

I don't think that's the case it's him in the future retelling the story to the next holder of his quirk most likely

Maybe Deku's opening narration is all true - we just don't understand the context. If he was telling this story to the next inheritor of One For All (if there is one), it would make a whole lot of sense.

To be fair, Deku isn't doing anything too sinister - it's just that he's freaking out the locals who are watching him operate.

We all knew that the war against All For One would one day force Deku to leave the "Academia" part behind. Now we're here.
