for One Piece

I feel like Moria's powers are quite different from those of Big Mom, first of all, Big Mom's is WAY stronger: she can take portions of the souls of people when Moria couldn't take portions of the shadows, seemingly Big Mom's soul can split in multiple Incarnations while Moria's shadow had to remain complete (except when it moved transforming into bats), Big Mom can kill right away people by taking all of their lifespan while Moria's power only kills people if they get in the sunlight after losing their shadow. Moria will certainly come back,but not during this arc, it was said that Moria once fought against Kaido only to be defeated by him, If anything I expect him to have a big role in the upcoming war against Kaido.

For My Hero Academia read below

Basically there were 2 exams, one for normal students like Bakugou or Izuku and another one for referral students like Todoroki (son of the 2nd best Hero) or Yaoyorozu (genius girl), the second test was probably made so that the referral students were actually good and so they didn't enter just because of some shady buisness going on (for example, Yaoyorozu beeing member of a rich family could have paid to enter U.A. but to prevent this the referral exam was set up) so I think the guy who ranked #1 means actual business. That beeing said I get the feeling from his attitude that he went to the other school thinking of beeing the best in the world and ended up beeing the worst student in the class: that's why he was entusiastic about U.A. : he spent the whole year beeing the worst of the class and now he has the chance to prove he's stronger than someeone: the U.A. students that he classifies as inferior due to him ranking #1 at the referral exam. In this scenario his class mates would be the actual threat to the U.A.students and would also explain why the students didn't bother helping him when he started bleeding (it might also be related to his power).

OP: Definitely agreed...Oda left Moriah alive for a reason. Big Mom is almost certainly more powerful (not that power levels really exist in a serious capacity, but there's a reason one is a Yonko), but it seems like her power was introduced in a way that intentionally seemed opposite Moriah's. It was mentioned that she can put souls in anything other than deceased bodies, while that was basically Moriah's jam throughout Thriller Bark. It could just be that Oda didn't want to have overlapping powers...though since Lola is being brought up now, it might be that this will be brought up in the story.  

MHA: That makes more sense, so this guy was completing with Momo and Todoroki, not necessarily Bakugou and Deku. I'll assume that's the case unless the manga says otherwise, since Deku is only comparing him to Todoroki right now.

That will be something if he's used as a prop for the rest of his class, though I'm not sure if that'll be the case. U.A. is the premier hero school for a reason, I imagine. I think he likely has some personal reasons for backing out of U.A...not that I can think of any better than your theory.
