[00:01] ---
    The world has become
    a superhuman society,
[00:03] ---
    and about 80% of the world's population
    now has some kind of special trait.
[00:07] ---
    In this world swirling with chaos,
[00:09] ---
    the profession that everyone
    once dreamed about and admired
[00:11] ---
    came into the limelight.
[00:14] ---
    Heroes of justice fighting villains
    and saving people from distress.
[00:19] ---
    Yes, this is the story of how
    I became the greatest hero.
[01:58] ---
    The U.A. sports festival is drawing near.
[02:01] ---
    Of course, joining a famous hero agency
    will get you more experience and popularity.
[02:06] ---
    One chance a year--
[02:08] ---
    a total of just three chances.
[02:10] ---
    No aspiring heroes can afford
    to miss this event.
[02:15] ---
    If you understand that, then don't
    slack off on your preparations!
[02:17] ---
    Yes, sir!
[02:23] ---
    "Roaring Sports Festival"
[02:28] ---
    The U.A. sports festival
    is something pro heroes--
[02:33] ---
    no, the whole country--
    is watching closely. A big event!
[02:38] ---
    That is what I brought
    you here to talk about!
[02:41] ---
    The next All Might...
    The fledgling Symbol of Peace...
[02:46] ---
    Izuku Midoriya.
[02:48] ---
    I want you to tell the world "I am here!"
[02:54] ---
    "I am here"...
[02:58] ---
    But how...?
[03:00] ---
    You know the sports festival system, right?
[03:03] ---
    Yes, of course!
[03:05] ---
    The support, business, general studies,
    and hero courses come together
[03:09] ---
    "First-Year Stage"
[03:10] ---
    and fight through preliminary games
    of different types by class year.
[03:14] ---
    The students who make it through
    face off in the finals.
[03:17] ---
    It's a round-robin tournament
    divided by grade.
[03:20] ---
    That's right! In other words, you can
    sell yourself with everything you've got!
[03:24] ---
    Right...
[03:25] ---
    I mean, what you say is absolutely correct!
[03:29] ---
    "mutter mutter mutter"
[03:29] ---
    But honestly, it's kind of hard to get completely
    into it right after what just happened...
[03:33] ---
    "mutter mutter mutter"
[03:33] ---
    Besides, All Might is already teaching me,
[03:35] ---
    so I'm not as motivated to
    stand out at the sports festival...
[03:38] ---
    "mutter mutter mutter"
[03:38] ---
    In the first place, I don't think
    I can stand out in my current state,
[03:41] ---
    and I did terribly in the fitness tests...
[03:44] ---
    No one's better at spouting
    nonsense than you!
[03:47] ---
    Nonsense?
[03:50] ---
    Those who are always aiming
    for the top, and those who aren't.
[03:53] ---
    That slight difference in attitudes will have
    a big impact once you go out into society.
[03:59] ---
    I understand how you feel,
    and this is more for me than for you.
[04:02] ---
    I won't force you.
[04:04] ---
    However, I hope you won't forget
    how you felt back at the beach park.
[04:17] ---
    Wh...
[04:18] ---
    Wh-What's going on?
[04:21] ---
    What business do you have with Class A?
[04:23] ---
    We can't get out!
[04:24] ---
    What'd you come here for, anyway?
[04:26] ---
    Scouting out the enemy, small fry.
[04:29] ---
    We're the ones who made it
    out of the villains' attack.
[04:32] ---
    --That's Kacchan in neutral.
[04:32] ---
    --They probably wanna check us out
    before the sports festival.
[04:35] ---
    There's no point in doing stuff like that.
[04:38] ---
    Out of my way, extras!
[04:39] ---
    Stop calling people "extras"
    just because you don't know them!
[04:43] ---
    I came to see what the
    famous Class A was like,
[04:46] ---
    but you seem pretty arrogant.
[04:50] ---
    Are all the students in
    the hero course like this?
[04:54] ---
    Seeing something like this
    makes me disillusioned.
[05:00] ---
    There are quite a few people who enrolled in
[05:03] ---
    general studies or other courses because
    they didn't make it into the hero course.
[05:06] ---
    Did you know that?
[05:08] ---
    The school has left those of us a chance.
[05:12] ---
    Depending on the results
    of the sports festival,
[05:14] ---
    they'll consider our transfer
    into the hero course.
[05:18] ---
    And it seems they may
    also transfer people out.
[05:22] ---
    Scouting out the enemy?
[05:24] ---
    I, at least, came to say that
    even if you're in the hero course,
[05:28] ---
    if you get too carried away,
    I'll sweep your feet out from under you.
[05:31] ---
    I came with a declaration of war.
[05:33] ---
    This person's bold, too!
[05:39] ---
    Hey, hey!
[05:40] ---
    "Hey Hey Hey Hey"
[05:41] ---
    I'm from Class B next door!
[05:43] ---
    I heard you fought against villains,
    so I came to hear 'bout it!
[05:47] ---
    Don't get so full of yourself!
[05:49] ---
    Another bold person!
[05:51] ---
    If you bark too much, it'll be embarrassing
    for you durin' the real fight!
[05:55] ---
    You ignorin' me, bastard?!
[05:56] ---
    Wait a minute, Bakugo!
    What're you gonna do about all this?
[05:59] ---
    It's your fault that
    everyone's hating on us!
[06:02] ---
    It doesn't matter.
[06:03] ---
    Huh?!
[06:05] ---
    It doesn't matter as long
    as you rise to the top.
[06:10] ---
    Damnit, you bastard!
[06:14] ---
    That's so simple and manly!
[06:16] ---
    Huh?
[06:17] ---
    You said it.
[06:18] ---
    Huh?
[06:18] ---
    The top, huh? There is truth in that.
[06:20] ---
    Hang on, don't be tricked!
[06:22] ---
    He just made more pointless enemies!
[06:23] ---
    That's right!
[06:25] ---
    We'll just be at a disadvantage
    at the sports festival!
[06:29] ---
    I'm just...
[06:31] ---
    I'm just getting started!
[06:34] ---
    You hear?
[06:35] ---
    Here, I will become number one!
[06:39] ---
    Kacchan...
[06:41] ---
    Am I... an idiot...?!
[06:45] ---
    I'll definitely become
    a hero and make money
[06:49] ---
    --and let my parents take it easy.
[06:50] ---
    --I set my sights on being a hero
    because I want to be like my brother.
[06:53] ---
    Time is limited.
[06:54] ---
    If you expect to go pro,
[06:56] ---
    --then the path to your future
    will open up at this...
[06:56] ---
    --That slight difference in attitudes will have
    a big impact once you go out into society.
[07:04] ---
    I hope you won't forget how
    you felt back at the beach park.
[07:15] ---
    "Dagoba Municipal Beach Park"
[07:18] ---
    The U.A. sports festival is in two weeks.
[07:21] ---
    It'll be broadcast live on TV, too.
[07:23] ---
    There's no doubt
[07:25] ---
    that those who do well
    have a much better chance of becoming pro heroes.
[07:30] ---
    We won't know what events we'll
    be participating in until the day of.
[07:36] ---
    But I'm sure everyone
    has started getting ready.
[07:49] ---
    Ribbit!
[08:03] ---
    Here I go!
[08:04] ---
    Release!
[08:10] ---
    Sparkle!
[08:28] ---
    Yes!
[08:33] ---
    Yesh!
[08:35] ---
    Damn it! What the--
[08:39] ---
    Thank you!
[08:49] ---
    Time passed in the blink of an eye,
[08:53] ---
    and the morning of the
    sports festival arrived.
[08:57] ---
    Izuku, be careful not to get hurt.
[08:59] ---
    Okay.
[09:00] ---
    I'll record it, okay? In high resolution.
[09:03] ---
    Okay.
[09:04] ---
    Do your best.
[09:06] ---
    I'm off!
[09:13] ---
    The bag check's taking forever.
[09:15] ---
    They were just attacked by villains.
[09:18] ---
    Of course they'll be more strict.
[09:20] ---
    There are people criticizing
    their decision to hold it this year.
[09:24] ---
    Controversy equals ratings!
[09:27] ---
    Class 1-A will be the ones
    to watch this year, huh?
[09:32] ---
    With the passion of their last chance
    and the tactics from their experience,
[09:36] ---
    the third years have always been
    the main event in past years...
[09:39] ---
    "First-Year Stage" "Third-Year Stage"
    "Second-Year Stage"
[09:39] ---
    But this year, the first-year
    stage is the one to watch!
[09:42] ---
    Hey, did you know that Endeavor's
    son is a first-year this year?
[09:46] ---
    No way, seriously? Wow!
[09:48] ---
    The first-year stage is gonna be good, huh?
[09:52] ---
    One order of takoyaki, please.
[09:55] ---
    Oh, Mt. Lady!
[09:57] ---
    No green seaweed.
[09:59] ---
    One, right? That'll be 500 yen.
[10:01] ---
    Huh?
[10:02] ---
    Um... I don't have that much
    on me right now...
[10:07] ---
    That's hot! It's free!
[10:09] ---
    Thanks!
[10:10] ---
    Have you no pride?
[10:11] ---
    "Participant Waiting Rooms"
[10:14] ---
    I had also hoped to be
    able to do some scouting.
[10:17] ---
    We have to work security,
    so we don't have a choice.
[10:21] ---
    It looks like they called pro heroes
    from all over the country this year.
[10:30] ---
    "Waiting Room"
[10:30] ---
    Man...
[10:32] ---
    I wanted to wear my costume.
[10:35] ---
    To keep everything fair, we can't.
[10:38] ---
    I wonder what the first round's gonna be...
[10:41] ---
    No matter what comes, we have
    no choice but to deal with it.
[10:43] ---
    Right.
[10:45] ---
    Everyone, are you ready?
[10:47] ---
    We will be entering soon!
[10:49] ---
    Person, person, person, person, person...
[10:51] ---
    Midoriya.
[10:57] ---
    Todoroki? What is it?
[11:02] ---
    Looking at things objectively,
    I think I'm stronger than you.
[11:06] ---
    Huh?
[11:07] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[11:09] ---
    But... All Might has his
    eye on you, doesn't he?
[11:14] ---
    I'm not trying to pry about that.
[11:19] ---
    But I'm going to beat you.
[11:24] ---
    Oh? Is the best in the class
    making a declaration of war?
[11:28] ---
    Hey, hey, hey! Why are you
    picking a fight all of a sudden?
[11:31] ---
    Not now, we're about to start!
[11:32] ---
    We're not here to play at being friends.
[11:35] ---
    So what does it matter?
[11:39] ---
    Todoroki, I don't know what you're
    thinking when you say you'll beat me,
[11:45] ---
    but of course you're better than me.
[11:49] ---
    I think you're more capable
    than most people...
[11:53] ---
    Looking at it objectively...
[11:55] ---
    Midoriya, you probably
    shouldn't talk so negatively...
[11:58] ---
    But, everyone--
[12:01] ---
    The students from the
    other courses are aiming
[12:02] ---
    
    for the top with everything they've got!
[12:05] ---
    I want to become the greatest hero!
[12:11] ---
    I can't afford to fall behind.
[12:18] ---
    I'll be going for it with
    everything I have, too.
[12:22] ---
    Yeah.
[12:30] ---
    Hey!
[12:32] ---
    Pay attention, audience!
[12:34] ---
    Swarm, mass media!
[12:37] ---
    This year's high school rodeo
    of adolescence that you all love,
[12:42] ---
    the U.A. sports festival, is about to begin!
    Everybody, are you ready?!
[12:47] ---
    It's time for the students
    to enter the first-year stage!
[12:54] ---
    Izuku...
[13:01] ---
    I want you to tell the world "I am here!"
[13:09] ---
    Roger that, All Might!
[13:23] ---
    The U.A. sports festival!
[13:25] ---
    The huge battle where fledgling heroes
    sharpen their swords once a year!
[13:31] ---
    Anyway, these are the guys, right?
[13:34] ---
    The miraculous new stars who overcame
    enemy attacks with their hearts of steel!
[13:40] ---
    Hero course, Class 1-A, right?!
[13:49] ---
    Th-Th-There are so many people...
[13:50] ---
    Will we be able to give our best performance
    being watched by so many people?
[13:55] ---
    This is also part of the training
    required to become a hero.
[14:00] ---
    Man, he's going overboard with that praise!
[14:02] ---
    I'm getting nervous!
[14:04] ---
    Aren't you, Bakugo?
[14:05] ---
    No, I'm just getting more into it.
[14:08] ---
    They haven't been getting as much airtime,
    but this class is also full of talent!
[14:14] ---
    Hero course, Class 1-B!
[14:17] ---
    Next up, general studies
    Classes C, D, and E!
[14:21] ---
    Support course, Classes F,
    G, and H are here, too!
[14:25] ---
    And business course, Classes I, J, and K!
[14:29] ---
    All of U.A.'s first years are here now!
[14:32] ---
    We're just here to make
    those guys look better, huh?
[14:36] ---
    I'm not really feeling it...
[14:41] ---
    Time for the player pledge!
[14:43] ---
    Oh, this year's chief umpire for the
    first years is the R-Rated Hero, Midnight?
[14:51] ---
    What about the principal?
[14:52] ---
    The principal is at the
    third-year stage every year.
[14:54] ---
    What is Ms. Midnight wearing?
[14:57] ---
    That's an R-Rated Hero for you.
[14:59] ---
    Is it okay for her to be at a high school
    even though she's R-Rated?
[15:02] ---
    Yes!
[15:03] ---
    Quiet, everyone!
[15:06] ---
    Representing the students is
    Katsuki Bakugo from Class 1-A!
[15:13] ---
    What? It's Kacchan?
[15:15] ---
    That guy did finish first
    in the entrance exam.
[15:19] ---
    In the hero course.
[15:21] ---
    R-Right.
[15:23] ---
    It's obvious she hates us.
[15:25] ---
    And it's all Bakugo's fault.
[15:39] ---
    I pledge--
[15:41] ---
    That I'll be number one.
[15:43] ---
    I knew he'd do that!
[15:45] ---
    --What the heck!
    --Stop messing around!
[15:46] ---
    --Don't be so full of yourselves, Class A!
    --You sludge bastard!
[15:49] ---
    Why are you doing something so disgraceful?!
[15:52] ---
    At least become a nice bouncy
    step for me to jump off of.
[15:55] ---
    How overconfident can you get?
[15:57] ---
    I'll crush you!
[16:00] ---
    Confidence? No...
[16:03] ---
    The old Kacchan would've
    laughed while saying that.
[16:08] ---
    He's driving himself into a corner.
[16:13] ---
    Getting the rest of us caught up in it
    is just like Kacchan, though.
[16:19] ---
    Now, let's get started right away.
[16:22] ---
    --U.A. does everything "right away," huh?
[16:22] ---
    --The first game is what
    you'd call a qualifier!
[16:25] ---
    Every year, many drink their tears here!
[16:28] ---
    Now, here is the fateful first game!
[16:33] ---
    This year, it's...
[16:37] ---
    ...this!
[16:39] ---
    An obstacle course race.
[16:41] ---
    All 11 classes will participate in this race.
[16:42] ---
    "Full Participation"
[16:44] ---
    The course will be the outer circumference
    of this stadium--about four kilometers!
[16:49] ---
    Our school's selling point is freedom!
[16:53] ---
    As long as you stay on the course,
    it doesn't matter what you do!
[16:59] ---
    Now, take your places everyone!
[17:10] ---
    All Might...
[17:12] ---
    I want you to tell the world "I am here!"
[17:18] ---
    Thinking about it realistically,
[17:20] ---
    without really being able
    to regulate One For All...
[17:23] ---
    That's too unreasonable...
[17:28] ---
    That's why I have to go beyond.
[17:36] ---
    Please watch me!
[17:39] ---
    Start!
[17:44] ---
    Okay, here's the play-by-play!
[17:47] ---
    Are you ready to do the
    commentary, Mummy Man?
[17:50] ---
    You're the one who forced me to come.
[17:52] ---
    Let's get started right away, Mummy Man.
[17:54] ---
    What should we pay attention
    to in the early stages?
[17:56] ---
    This part right now.
[17:57] ---
    --Hey, hey!
    --This is too narrow!
[17:58] ---
    --Ouch!
    --Hey, move!
[18:06] ---
    I see...
[18:08] ---
    This means, from the start, it's already...
[18:11] ---
    The first sifting.
[18:19] ---
    Sorry, but...
[18:20] ---
    --Owww! What the--?
    --It's freezing over! I can't move!
[18:22] ---
    --So cold!
    --Outta the way! I can't get it off!
[18:26] ---
    Take that!
[18:29] ---
    Naive, Todoroki!
[18:31] ---
    I won't let you get away so easily!
[18:34] ---
    You half-and-half bastard!
[18:38] ---
    You got me with that once.
    You won't get me again!
[18:41] ---
    Woah, that was close!
[18:48] ---
    I can't use my special move yet...
[18:53] ---
    They're used to using their Quirks, huh...
[18:56] ---
    More people outside of Class A were
    able to dodge that than I expected...
[19:06] ---
    I've outwitted you, Todoroki! How pathetic!
[19:12] ---
    Take this! My special attack!
[19:15] ---
    Gra--
[19:23] ---
    Mineta!
[19:27] ---
    Targets found...
[19:29] ---
    Lots!!
[19:31] ---
    The faux villains from the entrance exam?
[19:34] ---
    Obstacles have shown up suddenly!
[19:37] ---
    Starting with...
[19:39] ---
    ...the first barrier!
[19:43] ---
    Robo Inferno!
[19:49] ---
    Aren't those the zero-point villains
    from the entrance exam?
[19:52] ---
    --Seriously? The hero
    course had to fight those?
[19:52] ---
    --This is what they meant by obstacles?!
    --There are too many! I can't get through!
[19:55] ---
    So this is what they used
    in the general entrance exam?
[19:59] ---
    I wonder where they got the money for it?
[20:05] ---
    If they went through all this trouble, I wish
    they would've prepared something better.
[20:14] ---
    Since my stupid old man is watching.
[20:35] ---
    He stopped them!
[20:36] ---
    Between their legs! We can get through!
[20:39] ---
    I wouldn't if I were you.
[20:40] ---
    I froze them when they were unbalanced.
[20:44] ---
    They'll fall over.
[20:49] ---
    Todoroki from Class 1-A!
[20:51] ---
    He attacked and defended in one hit!
[20:53] ---
    How elegant!
[20:55] ---
    Amazing! He's the first one through!
[20:58] ---
    It's, you know, practically unfair!
[21:00] ---
    His actions are logical and strategic.
[21:03] ---
    As expected of someone who
    got in through recommendations!
[21:06] ---
    He'd never fought them before,
[21:08] ---
    but those Robo Infernos couldn't
    get past his elite moves!
[21:21] ---
    Gotta hurry...!
[21:24] ---
    You can't beat those.
[21:27] ---
    Run...
[21:28] ---
    Run away, Izuku!
[21:32] ---
    I have to get past these robots
    while also paying attention
[21:34] ---
    to the obstacles around me.
[21:37] ---
    Idiot, why?!
[21:39] ---
    Why can't I move?
[21:44] ---
    Come on, think!
[21:47] ---
    Now what?
[23:20] ---
    "Preview"
[23:20] ---
    Time for the preview!
    Listen to me and listen good!
[23:23] ---
    It's the preview!
    Why are you so mad, Kacchan?
[23:25] ---
    Listen, this sports festival
    obstacle course race
[23:27] ---
    
    is gonna end with me at the top, you scum!
[23:30] ---
    That's not a preview.
    That's more like a personal wish...
[23:33] ---
    Shut up, be quiet, you damn nerd!
[23:35] ---
    If you're even a step ahead of me,
    I'll crush you, no questions asked!
[23:39] ---
    Even if you don't get ahead
    of me, I'll still crush you!
[23:40] ---
    It's too scary either way!
[23:42] ---
    Next time, "In Their Own Quirky Ways."
[23:43] ---
    In the final stages of the race,
    I go "boom!" in a minefield!
[23:46] ---
    "Next time: In Their Own Quirky Ways"
[23:46] ---
    Go beyond!
[23:47] ---
    Plus Ultra!
