[00:02] ---
    Heroes. They are what I admired when
    I was young, and what I dreamed of being.
[00:13] ---
    It started with an old video.
[00:18] ---
    He's laughing!
[00:26] ---
    It's fine now. Why?
[00:34] ---
    Because I am here.
[00:37] ---
    Ever since I saw that one hero in the video,
[00:40] ---
    I started writing every day in these notebooks.
[00:42] ---
    "Hero Notebook"
    "Izuku Midoriya"
[00:44] ---
    "Hero Research"
    "Izuku Midoriya"
[00:44] ---
    "Hero Analysis for the Future"
[00:48] ---
    In order for me to become
    a hero like him one day.
[00:51] ---
    "Hero Notebook"
[01:09] ---
    In a world where about 80% of the population
    has some kind of superpower called a "Quirk,"
[01:13] ---
    "Superpower = Quirk"
[01:16] ---
    the profession that everyone
    once dreamed about and admired
[01:19] ---
    came into the limelight.
[01:26] ---
    In order to deal with the
    explosive increase in crime and accidents
[01:26] ---
    "What are villains?"
[01:30] ---
    that came with the appearance of Quirks,
[01:32] ---
    "Uncontrolled Quirk Led to Crime!?"
[01:32] ---
    people with courage stood up to take action--
[01:36] ---
    Heroes.
[01:37] ---
    They police the superpowers
    and defend against evil.
[01:42] ---
    They protect us from the villains
    who threaten our daily lives.
[01:44] ---
    "After All Might! Working
    Pro Heroes interviewed"
[01:48] ---
    And...
[01:53] ---
    I am here!
[01:56] ---
    His name is All Might.
[01:59] ---
    "All Might's Super Popular!"
    "All Might Gum"
    "All Might's Adventure"
[02:00] ---
    He lives up to his title of "Number One Hero."
[02:03] ---
    He is the Symbol of Peace
    that everyone recognizes.
[02:03] ---
    "All Might Curry"
    "Movie in the works!"
    "All Might Chips"
[02:07] ---
    No matter the situation, he will always
    save people with a smile on his face.
[02:12] ---
    I admired him from the bottom of my heart.
[02:23] ---
    I am Izuku Midoriya.
[02:24] ---
    "Izuku Midoriya"
[02:25] ---
    "Izuku Midoriya"
    "(Deku)"
[02:28] ---
    Right now, I am working
    hard every day to become a hero.
[02:35] ---
    That's why what I am about
    to tell you is not a sad story.
[02:42] ---
    But...
[02:43] ---
    You should probably give it up.
[02:49] ---
    It's unusual to see that these days,
[02:50] ---
    but that means he has no Quirk.
[02:53] ---
    That was the harsh reality that was
    thrust before me at the age of four.
[02:58] ---
    I was Quirkless, and it dashed
    my dreams of becoming a hero.
[03:00] ---
    "Quirkless"
[03:02] ---
    Deku doesn't have a Quirk.
[03:04] ---
    It's called being "Quirkless."
[03:06] ---
    That's so lame.
[03:08] ---
    Izuku, you really can't do anything, can you?
[03:12] ---
    "Izuku (Deku) Midoriya"
[03:13] ---
    You can read the characters
    for "Izuku" as "Deku," you know.
[03:16] ---
    And "Deku" means someone
    who can't do anything!
[03:20] ---
    Really?
[03:22] ---
    Stop that...
[03:28] ---
    Yes, yes, you all have wonderful Quirks!
[03:31] ---
    You're all...
[03:31] ---
    ...pretty much planning
    to go into the hero course, right?
[03:33] ---
    Oh yeah, Midoriya wanted
    to go to U.A., too, right?
[03:39] ---
    Huh? Midoriya? No way!
[03:41] ---
    You can't get into the
    hero course just by studying!
[03:46] ---
    Hey, Deku!
[03:48] ---
    You're below the rejects! You're Quirkless!
[03:52] ---
    How can you even stand
    in the same ring as me?
[03:57] ---
    "Hero Analysis for the Future"
[03:57] ---
    That's mean...
[03:59] ---
    What?!
[04:03] ---
    Even so, I could not give up.
[04:05] ---
    "Hero Analysis for the Future"
[04:10] ---
    In this world, sometimes
    unexpected things happen.
[04:17] ---
    All... Migh...
[04:21] ---
    Sorry 'bout getting you
    caught up in my villain fighting.
[04:25] ---
    H-He's the real thing...
[04:28] ---
    He looks completely different in person!
[04:34] ---
    Um...
[04:37] ---
    Even if I don't have a Quirk,
    can I become a hero?
[04:43] ---
    Can even someone without a Quirk be like you?
[05:01] ---
    Y-Y-You're deflating...!
[05:06] ---
    I am All Might...
[05:10] ---
    No way!
[05:13] ---
    It's an injury I got from
    an enemy's attack five years ago.
[05:17] ---
    Right now, I can only work as
    a hero for about three hours a day.
[05:25] ---
    Pros are always risking their lives.
[05:28] ---
    It's not bad to dream.
[05:32] ---
    But you also have to consider
    what's realistic, young man.
[05:44] ---
    Why aren't the heroes doing anything?
[05:46] ---
    They can't. Apparently the villain
    caught a junior high schooler.
[05:50] ---
    It's been like that for a while.
[05:52] ---
    Pathetic...
[06:12] ---
    Idiot! Stop!
[06:14] ---
    Stop!
[06:15] ---
    Why did I run out?
[06:16] ---
    What am I doing?
[06:18] ---
    Why?!
[06:20] ---
    Die in an explosion!
[06:23] ---
    What do I do? What do I do at a time like this?
SIGN    "Pre-emptive Binding Lacquered Chain Prison" "Quickly stretch out arms (vines) to make the opponent flinch back, and then use that opening to restrain them"
[06:27] ---
    Page 25!
[06:30] ---
    Take that!
[06:40] ---
    Kacchan!
[06:42] ---
    Why are you here?!
[06:44] ---
    My legs moved on their own!
[06:45] ---
    I don't know why, though!
[06:50] ---
    I think there were various reasons.
[06:52] ---
    --You should probably give it up.
    --I'll do my best!
[06:54] ---
    --It's my fault...
    --How can you even stand
    in the same ring as me?
[06:56] ---
    --Kacchan!
    --Unless I try...
[06:58] ---
    He's so cool!
[07:00] ---
    --But you also have to consider what's realistic...
    --He saves everyone with a smile...
[07:02] ---
    But at that moment...
[07:06] ---
    You looked like you were asking for help...
[07:12] ---
    Stop it...!
[07:15] ---
    Pathetic...
[07:18] ---
    Pathetic!
[07:21] ---
    Just a little longer.
[07:23] ---
    Don't get in my way!
[07:25] ---
    He'll die in vain! Is he suicidal?!
[07:33] ---
    I really am pathetic.
[07:37] ---
    All Might...
[07:40] ---
    Even though I admonished you,
    I wasn't putting what I said into practice!
[07:50] ---
    Pros are always risking their lives!
[07:55] ---
    All Might!
[07:57] ---
    Detroit Smash!
[08:31] ---
    Can even someone without a Quirk...
[08:34] ---
    ...be like you?
[08:37] ---
    Top heroes have stories about
    them from their school days.
[08:41] ---
    Most of their stories have one thing in common:
[08:47] ---
    Their bodies moved before
    they had a chance to think.
[09:01] ---
    That was true for you, too, wasn't it?
[09:06] ---
    Yeah...
[09:16] ---
    You can become a hero.
[09:27] ---
    That's right.
[09:28] ---
    In this world, sometimes
    unexpected things happen.
[09:35] ---
    You can become a hero.
[09:39] ---
    You are worthy to inherit my power.
[09:48] ---
    My Quirk was passed
    on to me like a sacred torch.
[09:53] ---
    It was passed on to you...?
[09:56] ---
    That's right. And next, it is your turn.
[10:01] ---
    I'll do it!
[10:04] ---
    And so began my ten months of hell.
[10:07] ---
    Carry that to the park entrance!
[10:09] ---
    Put it in the truck!
[10:11] ---
    Let's become athletic!
[10:20] ---
    Go! Go!
[10:24] ---
    "10 months later"
[10:35] ---
    He finished at the last minute!
    More than perfectly!
[10:40] ---
    Oh my... Oh my...
[10:43] ---
    ...goodness!
[10:46] ---
    Take that to heart.
[10:49] ---
    This is power that you earned
    because of your own effort.
[10:55] ---
    My dream became a reality.
[10:57] ---
    It was like a miracle from a comic book story.
[11:01] ---
    Eat this.
[11:02] ---
    Huh?
[11:05] ---
    The All Might that I admired
    entrusted me with his Quirk.
[11:06] ---
    "U.A. High School Entrance Exam Location"
[11:08] ---
    And unbelievably, the Quirkless me,
    the "decked and useless" Deku,
[11:10] ---
    "U.A. High School Hero Course"
    "Exam Orientation"
SIGN    "Exam Ticket" "Examinee No.: 2234" "Test Location: Battle Center B"
[11:12] ---
    took the entrance exam for the school famous
    for training heroes, U.A. High School.
[11:17] ---
    Are you ready?
[11:31] ---
    Smash...!
[11:37] ---
    I want to tell the four-year-old me:
[11:40] ---
    "You'll be fine."
[11:43] ---
    You both pass.
[11:44] ---
    "It is your fate to have all these wonderful,
    life-changing things happen to you."
[11:52] ---
    Come, Young Midoriya.
[11:54] ---
    This is your hero academia!
[12:01] ---
    And then, my life as a
    high schooler at U.A. began.
SIGN    "The famous school that turns out many pro heroes" "U.A. High School"
[12:05] ---
    Overcome it with all you've got.
[12:08] ---
    This is a high school for those
    who want to become pro heroes.
[12:12] ---
    The classes are harsh and merciless,
    and everyone goes all out--
[12:15] ---
    Die...!
[12:21] ---
    I have to work a lot harder than other people!
[12:24] ---
    Smash...!
[12:29] ---
    This kid...
[12:32] ---
    What is the meaning of this?
[12:35] ---
    Hey!
[12:37] ---
    Kacchan hates the very sight of me, as usual,
[12:41] ---
    and since I was Quirkless until recently,
[12:43] ---
    I have to work harder
    than everyone else to keep up.
[12:59] ---
    Deku!
[13:01] ---
    You are...
[13:04] ---
    ...below me!
[13:07] ---
    ...Smash!
[13:13] ---
    That's right.
[13:15] ---
    We didn't come here to play at being friends.
[13:18] ---
    But even so...
[13:21] ---
    Good work!
[13:23] ---
    You were fired up!
[13:24] ---
    I made some irreplaceable friends.
[13:28] ---
    But "Deku" sounds like the
    Japanese word for "You can do it!"
[13:31] ---
    so I kinda like it.
[13:35] ---
    Friends, and friendly rivals.
[13:44] ---
    I took notes about everyone in
    my hero notebooks as part of my research.
[13:50] ---
    "Katsuki Bakugo"
    "Quirk: Explosion"
[13:52] ---
    First is my childhood friend, Kacchan.
[13:54] ---
    He can secrete nitroglycerin-like sweat from the palms
[13:57] ---
    of his hand and make it explode.
[13:58] ---
    He has excellent combat sense,
[14:00] ---
    and he passed the entrance exam in first place.
[14:05] ---
    "Ochaco Uraraka"
    "Quirk: Zero Gravity"
[14:06] ---
    Uraraka can make what she touches weightless
    and can make herself float, as well.
[14:12] ---
    The only thing is,
    if she uses her Quirk too much...
[14:16] ---
    That's what happens, so she needs to be careful.
[14:19] ---
    To put it simply, Iida is a fast runner.
[14:19] ---
    "Tenya iida"
    "Quirk: Engine"
[14:22] ---
    Apparently, he can increase his speed in stages.
[14:25] ---
    His accelerated kick is super powerful.
[14:29] ---
    Todoroki's Quirk lets him freeze
    with his right hand and burn with his left.
[14:29] ---
    "Shoto Todoroki"
    "Quirk: Half-Cold, Half-Hot"
[14:35] ---
    But up until now, he has only ever
    showed us the ice from his right hand.
[14:40] ---
    "Tsuyu Asui"
    "Quirk: Frog"
[14:40] ---
    Asui is good at moving fast underwater,
    jumping high, and sticking to walls.
[14:46] ---
    She can do pretty much anything a frog can.
[14:50] ---
    "Minoru MIneta"
    "Quirk: Pop Off"
[14:51] ---
    The balls on Mineta's head
    stick really tight to anything.
[14:54] ---
    He has to be careful not to pick off
    too many, or he'll start bleeding.
[14:59] ---
    I have a lot of other
    classmates with different Quirks,
[15:03] ---
    and everyone is thinking about how they can
[15:05] ---
    use their Quirks to the best of their ability.
[15:09] ---
    Not just for attacking and defending--
[15:11] ---
    There might be lots of other ways to
    use them that I can't even begin to think of.
[15:18] ---
    The teachers that guide us
    at U.A. are also pro heroes.
[15:25] ---
    "Shota Aizawa"
    "Quirk: Erasure"
[15:25] ---
    Mr. Aizawa can erase the
    Quirks of those he looks at.
[15:29] ---
    He also has strong physical abilities,
[15:31] ---
    and he can use the special cloth wrapped around his neck
[15:34] ---
    to round up all the villains at once.
[15:38] ---
    And then, the number one hero, All Might,
    who became a teacher at U.A. this year.
[15:44] ---
    "All Might"
    "Quirk: One For All"
[15:45] ---
    His Quirk is One For All,
    which can produce overwhelming power.
[15:51] ---
    Texas Smash!
[15:56] ---
    He can pull off a number
    of different smash attacks.
[15:58] ---
    His ability to jump for long distances
    is also a powerful weapon.
[16:03] ---
    I became the one to inherit
    that Quirk of All Might's.
[16:09] ---
    It looks like it'll take some time for me
    to be able to use that power well, though...
[16:16] ---
    But I'm sure I'll become a
    superhero like All Might one day!
[16:26] ---
    ...is being the "Symbol of Peace"
    really that important?
[16:31] ---
    If I no longer am, then the
    superhuman society will be seized by evil.
[16:35] ---
    This is the responsibility
    of those of us with this power.
[16:41] ---
    Everyone has their own Quirks.
[16:46] ---
    What are all those strong Quirks for?
[16:52] ---
    Yes, why are we all studying at U.A.?
    Why are we trying to be heroes?
[16:59] ---
    The real motivation behind that is--
[17:00] ---
    To help people.
[17:04] ---
    That is why we must fight villains.
[17:08] ---
    That was made more clear to us than we wanted.
[17:13] ---
    What appeared before us was
[17:16] ---
    an outrageous evil.
[17:18] ---
    Hey.
[17:20] ---
    What do you think'll happen...
[17:22] ---
    if the Symbol of Peace...
[17:27] ---
    ...is killed by villains?
[17:37] ---
    "Evil"
[17:39] ---
    "Shock"
[17:39] ---
    "Fear"
[17:44] ---
    This is Tomura Shigaraki.
[17:47] ---
    He's like the head of the group calling
    themselves the League of Villains.
[17:49] ---
    "Tomura Shigaraki"
    "Leader of the League of Villains"
[17:50] ---
    He has a fearsome Quirk that lets him disintegrate
[17:53] ---
    anything he touches in an instant.
[17:56] ---
    "Symbol of Peace"? Ha.
[17:59] ---
    You're just a device to repress violence.
[18:07] ---
    Nomu, Kurogiri. Get him.
[18:12] ---
    It's true that I barely have a minute left.
[18:15] ---
    My power has been
    declining faster than I expected.
[18:20] ---
    Now, let's clear this and go home.
[18:23] ---
    But I must do this.
[18:27] ---
    Why? Because I am...
[18:32] ---
    ...the Symbol of Peace!
[18:56] ---
    A head-on fistfight?
[18:59] ---
    W-Wow...!
[19:02] ---
    I-I can't get near them!
[19:05] ---
    If your Quirk isn't shock
    nullification but shock absorption,
[19:10] ---
    then there's a limit to it, right?
[19:19] ---
    Made to fight me?
[19:21] ---
    If you can withstand me at 100%...
[19:26] ---
    ...then I'll force you to
    surrender from beyond that!
[19:32] ---
    He's bleeding while giving it his all...!
[19:37] ---
    He's not swinging randomly.
[19:41] ---
    Every single hit...
[19:45] ---
    is more than 100% of his power!
[19:53] ---
    A hero...
[19:59] ---
    ...can always break out of a tough spot!
[20:17] ---
    Hey villain, have you ever heard these words?
[20:24] ---
    Go beyond!
[20:26] ---
    Plus...
[20:29] ---
    Ultra...!
[20:47] ---
    Thanks to All Might and the other teachers
    and students, we were able to escape.
[20:54] ---
    That experience made us even more resolved
[20:59] ---
    to gain true strength
    that would not lose to evil.
[21:06] ---
    The villains did something dumb.
[21:09] ---
    This class is strong.
[21:11] ---
    They will become strong heroes.
[21:13] ---
    I am certain of that.
[21:16] ---
    And now, the big event that is
    about to begin--the U.A. sports festival.
[21:23] ---
    After experiencing the fight with the villains,
[21:25] ---
    I'm sure everyone will be fighting even more
    seriously than they have been until now.
[21:29] ---
    Of course, I will be, too.
[21:31] ---
    I will fight to win.
[21:37] ---
    What is a hero?
[21:39] ---
    What is justice?
[21:41] ---
    I still don't know for sure,
[21:45] ---
    but it's okay to fall.
[21:47] ---
    It's okay to cry.
[21:49] ---
    We will keep on moving forward.
[21:51] ---
    That's right. Go beyond!
[21:54] ---
    Plus Ultra!
[23:30] ---
    "Preview"
[23:30] ---
    The new My Hero Academia
    series will finally start next time!
[23:34] ---
    The U.A. sports festival
    that everyone will be watching!
[23:38] ---
    The student who wins this competition will have
    doors opened on their path to being a pro hero!
[23:42] ---
    Because of that, everyone's giving it their all,
[23:44] ---
    since we all enrolled in
    U.A. to become pro heroes!
[23:47] ---
    Yeah, I'm going to give it my all, too!
[23:50] ---
    Next time, "That's the Idea, Ochaco"!
[23:53] ---
    The reason Uraraka wants
    to become a hero is revealed.
[23:55] ---
    "Next time: That's the Idea, Ochaco"
[23:56] ---
    Go beyond!
[23:57] ---
    Plus Ultra!
[24:00] ---
    
[24:02] ---
