[00:11] ---
    It's fine now. Why?
[00:18] ---
    Because I am here.
[00:27] ---
    He's so cool!
[00:30] ---
    Once I get my Quirk, I
    wanna be like him, too!
[00:34] ---
    You should probably give it up.
[00:40] ---
    Even if that was true...
[00:42] ---
    You're below the rejects! You're Quirkless!
[00:46] ---
    How can you even stand
    in the same ring as me?
[00:50] ---
    What the hell can you do?
[00:55] ---
    Even if that's what everyone thinks...
[00:58] ---
    I'm sorry, Izuku!
[01:00] ---
    I'm sorry. I'm sorry!
[01:05] ---
    No, that's not it. That's not it, Mom.
[01:12] ---
    I...
[01:14] ---
    Even so, I...
[01:19] ---
    Even if I don't have a Quirk,
    can I become a hero?
[01:24] ---
    Can even someone without a Quirk be like you?
[01:40] ---
    Without a Quirk...?
[01:52] ---
    Oh no, holy shit, goddammit...
[01:58] ---
    It might've been because
    I don't have a Quirk,
[02:03] ---
    but I'm always made fun of...
[02:06] ---
    Maybe that's why... I don't know...
[02:09] ---
    But I think saving people is super cool.
[02:14] ---
    Saving people with a fearless smile.
[02:18] ---
    I want to be the greatest hero, like you...!
SIGN    "Tatooin Shopping District" "Welcome"
[04:14] ---
    Wh-Where am I...? What happened...?
[04:17] ---
    --Texas Smash!
[04:19] ---
    --Oh yeah... That bastard...
[04:24] ---
    If it weren't for that bastard...
[04:27] ---
    Hey, Katsuki, aren't you
    and Midoriya childhood friends?
[04:31] ---
    You went a little overboard today.
[04:35] ---
    It's his fault for getting in my way.
[04:38] ---
    Don't let it get to you.
[04:43] ---
    It's just that it's been
    my goal ever since I was little.
[04:47] ---
    And well...
[04:49] ---
    I won't know unless I try...
[04:52] ---
    He's an idiot dreaming like a kid!
[04:57] ---
    Just watching him pisses me off!
[05:01] ---
    Then, why don't we go to
    the arcade for a change of pace?
[05:03] ---
    You'll come, too, right, Katsuki?
[05:06] ---
    Yeah.
[05:07] ---
    Then let's go to the
    one in front of the station.
[05:09] ---
    There's lots of prey there.
[05:11] ---
    You're terrible.
[05:12] ---
    What?! If we get caught,
    it'll end up on my record!
[05:17] ---
    Hey, look!
[05:20] ---
    An invisible cloak with a great Quirk!
[05:25] ---
    "Episode 2: What It Takes to Be a Hero"
[05:35] ---
    Y-Y-You're deflating...!
[05:40] ---
    Wait, up until now... Huh?!
[05:42] ---
    Fake? A fake?! You're so skinny!
[05:47] ---
    I am All Might...
[05:51] ---
    No way!
[05:53] ---
    You know how the guys at the pool
    are constantly flexing and posturing?
[05:58] ---
    It's like that.
[05:59] ---
    No way...!
[06:03] ---
    I-It can't be...
[06:05] ---
    All Might is fearless...
    He saves everyone with a smile...
[06:10] ---
    He's the greatest...
[06:13] ---
    A fearless smile, huh?
[06:20] ---
    Now that you've seen me like this, young man,
[06:22] ---
    make sure you don't write
    about it online, even accidentally.
[06:28] ---
    It's an injury I got from an
    enemy's attack five years ago.
[06:32] ---
    Half of my respiratory organs were destroyed,
[06:35] ---
    and I lost my whole stomach.
[06:36] ---
    I've become emaciated from
    repeated surgeries and the aftereffects.
[06:42] ---
    Right now, I can only work as
    a hero for about three hours a day.
[06:49] ---
    That can't be...
[06:51] ---
    Five years ago... Was that
    when you fought Toxic Chainsaw?
[06:56] ---
    You're well-informed.
[06:57] ---
    But a punk like that couldn't defeat me.
[07:02] ---
    This fight was not made public to the world.
[07:05] ---
    I asked that it not be made public.
[07:10] ---
    I will save people with a smile!
[07:13] ---
    The Symbol of Peace cannot
    be daunted by evil.
[07:19] ---
    I smile to show the pressure of heroes
[07:23] ---
    and to trick the fear inside of me.
[07:30] ---
    Pros are always risking their lives.
[07:34] ---
    I cannot simply say, "You can
    become a hero even without power."
[07:44] ---
    I see...
[07:46] ---
    If you want to help others,
[07:49] ---
    then you could also become a police officer.
[07:51] ---
    They're often teased because
    they get villains delivered to their doorstep,
[07:54] ---
    but that is also a fine occupation.
[08:00] ---
    It's not bad to dream.
[08:03] ---
    But you also have to consider
    what's realistic, young man.
[08:15] ---
    Now, I need to quickly get this guy...
[08:33] ---
    Don't tell me...
[08:41] ---
    A villain!
[08:42] ---
    What hero will go to the scene?
[08:46] ---
    I cannot simply say, "You can
    become a hero even without power."
[09:09] ---
    "Tatooin Shopping District"
    "Welcome"
[09:16] ---
    It's a villain!
[09:24] ---
    A child was taken hostage?!
[09:27] ---
    You coward!
[09:36] ---
    What is this?
[09:37] ---
    I can't grab hold!
[09:42] ---
    Death Arms!
[09:43] ---
    Crap!
[09:47] ---
    Don't come near me!
[09:54] ---
    I won't let sewage like this swallow me!
[10:01] ---
    You little--
[10:09] ---
    What power!
[10:11] ---
    I've hit the jackpot!
[10:13] ---
    With this Quirk and power,
    I can get revenge on that guy!
[10:19] ---
    Woah, what's that?!
    Could he be a big-shot villain?
[10:24] ---
    She's here! The rookie hero, Mt. Lady!
[10:27] ---
    W-Wait... I need there
    to be at least two lanes!
[10:37] ---
    I'm not good with explosions!
[10:40] ---
    I'll leave it to someone else for today!
[10:43] ---
    Thanks for that.
[10:44] ---
    I have my hands full fighting the fire.
[10:46] ---
    The fire truck's not here yet?
[10:47] ---
    How are things over there?
[10:49] ---
    He's sticky and hard to grab,
[10:51] ---
    and a child with a strong
    Quirk is struggling against him.
[10:54] ---
    Thanks to that, it's a minefield.
[10:56] ---
    It's hard to do anything
    against this triple play!
[11:03] ---
    Crap!
[11:06] ---
    It's no use!
[11:07] ---
    There's no one who can take
    care of this at the scene right now!
[11:09] ---
    All we can do is wait for
    someone with a more suitable Quirk!
[11:14] ---
    Let's hold back the damage until then!
[11:16] ---
    Don't worry, I'm sure
    someone will be here soon!
[11:19] ---
    I feel bad for that child, but
    he'll just have to bear it a little longer.
[11:22] ---
    Damn it!
[11:24] ---
    If only I had enough
    power to blow that guy away!
[11:28] ---
    Hey, doesn't it look kinda bad?
[11:31] ---
    You can do it, heroes!
[11:40] ---
    It was back then!
[11:42] ---
    I was too distracted by my time limit!
[11:45] ---
    I can't believe I made a mistake
    like this after admonishing that fan.
[11:49] ---
    Pathetic...
[11:52] ---
    Pathetic...
SIGN    "Kamui Woods" "Best at holding back damage" "So cool!"
[12:11] ---
    He still can't face reality,
[12:13] ---
    even though he's already a
    third year in junior high.
SIGN    "Mt. Lady" "Gigantification! 20 m!?" "Canyon Cannon" "Huge!" "Sexy"
[12:16] ---
    It's time for you to think
    seriously about your future.
[12:20] ---
    You also have to consider what's realistic.
SIGN    "Hero Analysis for the Future"
[12:26] ---
    Even a top pro said it.
[12:30] ---
    Don't cry! You knew, didn't you?
[12:32] ---
    The reality.
[12:34] ---
    You knew. That's why you
    were trying so desperately.
[12:38] ---
    You were averting your eyes,
    not looking at reality.
[12:45] ---
    Is this where the explosion earlier was...?
[12:49] ---
    Hang on, does that mean
    I came out of habit without noticing?
[12:55] ---
    Stop it. It'll just feel
    meaningless right now.
[13:01] ---
    Why's that guy here?!
[13:04] ---
    Did it get away from All Might?!
[13:10] ---
    Did he drop it?
[13:12] ---
    If he did...
[13:15] ---
    ...then it's my fault...
[13:18] ---
    Why aren't the heroes doing anything?
[13:20] ---
    They can't. Apparently the villain
    caught a junior high schooler.
[13:24] ---
    It's been like that for a while.
[13:26] ---
    Caught...? It's been like that for a while?
[13:30] ---
    How can they bear that suffocation?
[13:33] ---
    I thought I'd die after a few seconds.
[13:38] ---
    Wow...
[13:39] ---
    Anyway, wasn't that villain the one
    All Might was chasing earlier?
[13:44] ---
    All Might? No way! He's here?
[13:47] ---
    I think I saw him earlier.
[13:49] ---
    Seriously?!
[13:50] ---
    Then what's All Might doing?!
[13:59] ---
    It's my fault...!
[14:01] ---
    He can't do anything!
[14:05] ---
    Pathetic...
[14:07] ---
    He can't catch that guy.
[14:09] ---
    All we can do is wait for a hero
    with a more suitable Quirk!
[14:14] ---
    Pathetic...
[14:16] ---
    Do your best! I'm sorry!
[14:19] ---
    I'm so sorry!
[14:21] ---
    Pathetic!
[14:23] ---
    Help will arrive soon...
[14:26] ---
    Pathetic!
[14:29] ---
    Someone... A hero... will soon...
[14:55] ---
    Idiot! Stop!
[14:57] ---
    Stop!
[14:58] ---
    That brat...
[15:00] ---
    Deku...
[15:02] ---
    Why did I run out?
[15:03] ---
    What am I doing?
[15:05] ---
    Why?!
[15:07] ---
    Die in an explosion!
[15:10] ---
    What do I do? What do I
    do at a time like this?
[15:13] ---
    "Pre-emptive Binding Lacquered Chain Prison:
    Quickly stretch out arms (vines)"
[15:14] ---
    Page 25!
[15:14] ---
    "to make the opponent flinch back,
    and then use that opening to restrain them"
[15:14] ---
    and then use that opening to restrain them"
[15:17] ---
    Take that!
[15:26] ---
    Kacchan!
[15:29] ---
    Why are you here?!
[15:31] ---
    My legs moved on their own!
[15:32] ---
    I don't know why, though!
[15:37] ---
    I think there were various reasons.
[15:39] ---
    You should probably give it up.
[15:40] ---
    --It's my fault...
[15:41] ---
    --How can you even stand
    in the same ring as me?
[15:42] ---
    --He's so cool!
[15:44] ---
    --Unless I try...
[15:45] ---
    --Kacchan!
[15:45] ---
    --It's been my goal...
[15:46] ---
    I'll do my best!
[15:47] ---
    He saves everyone with a smile...
[15:50] ---
    But at that moment...
[15:54] ---
    You looked like you were asking for help...
[16:01] ---
    Stop it...!
[16:05] ---
    Pathetic...
[16:08] ---
    Pathetic!
[16:11] ---
    Just a little longer.
[16:13] ---
    Don't get in my way!
[16:15] ---
    He'll die in vain! Is he suicidal?!
[16:28] ---
    I really am pathetic.
[16:33] ---
    All Might...
[16:35] ---
    Even though I admonished you,
    I wasn't putting what I said into practice!
[16:45] ---
    Pros are always risking their lives!
[16:49] ---
    All Might!
[16:52] ---
    Detroit Smash!
[17:31] ---
    Rain?
[17:33] ---
    Don't tell me it's from
    the wind pressure just now?
[17:35] ---
    An updraft developed and...
[17:42] ---
    He made... clouds...?
[17:51] ---
    Hey, hey, hey, hey!
[17:53] ---
    With just his right fist,
    he changed the weather!
[17:57] ---
    That's amazing!
[17:58] ---
    That's All Might for ya!
[18:14] ---
    After this, heroes collected
    the scattered sludge,
[18:19] ---
    and safely delivered it to the police.
[18:26] ---
    Jeez, there's a limit to how rash you can be!
[18:28] ---
    There was absolutely no reason
    for you to put yourself in danger!
[18:32] ---
    I got majorly scolded by the heroes,
[18:36] ---
    but Kacchan was praised.
[18:38] ---
    That was amazing toughness!
[18:40] ---
    And that Quirk!
[18:42] ---
    Once you're a pro,
    please come to my agency!
[18:45] ---
    You'll definitely be an excellent sidekick!
[19:06] ---
    I wanted to apologize to All Might,
    but he was still getting interviewed...
[19:11] ---
    I'll try sending him a message
    on his website when I get home.
[19:15] ---
    Deku!
[19:17] ---
    Kacchan...?
[19:24] ---
    I never asked you for help!
[19:28] ---
    And you didn't help me!
[19:30] ---
    Got it?!
[19:32] ---
    I was fine by myself.
[19:33] ---
    You're a Quirkless failure playing without a
    full deck! Don't think you can look down on me!
[19:36] ---
    Are you trying to make me owe you?!
[19:38] ---
    Don't look down on me!
[19:41] ---
    You damn nerd!
[19:44] ---
    "Toughness"...
[19:49] ---
    It's just as Kacchan said.
[19:51] ---
    It's not like I accomplished anything,
    or changed anything.
[19:55] ---
    But, I'm glad.
[19:57] ---
    Now I can think of a realistic future...
[20:00] ---
    I am here!
[20:03] ---
    A-All Might?!
[20:05] ---
    Why are you here?
[20:06] ---
    You were surrounded
    by reporters until just now...
[20:10] ---
    Getting away from them was a piece of cake.
[20:13] ---
    Why?
[20:14] ---
    Because I am All Migh--
[20:24] ---
    Young man. I come with thanks,
    a correction, and a suggestion.
[20:30] ---
    If you hadn't been there...
    If you hadn't told me about your life...
[20:35] ---
    I would've turned into a guy
    in a bodysuit who was all talk.
[20:38] ---
    Thank you.
[20:39] ---
    That can't be...
    It was my fault in the first place.
[20:43] ---
    I got in the way of your work,
[20:45] ---
    and I said all those impertinent
    things even though I'm Quirkless...
[20:49] ---
    That's right.
[20:50] ---
    It was because it was none other
    than the timid, Quirkless you at the scene
[20:56] ---
    that I was able to act.
[21:01] ---
    Top heroes have stories
    about them from their school days.
[21:05] ---
    Most of their stories
    have one thing in common:
[21:10] ---
    Their bodies moved before
    they had a chance to think.
[21:24] ---
    For some reason,
[21:26] ---
    I remembered my mother's words.
[21:29] ---
    I'm sorry, Izuku!
[21:32] ---
    I'm sorry. I'm sorry!
[21:37] ---
    That was true for you, too, wasn't it?
[21:42] ---
    Yeah...
[21:45] ---
    That's not it, Mom.
[21:49] ---
    Back then, what I wanted you to say...
[21:55] ---
    The words I wanted to hear were...
[22:02] ---
    You can become a hero.
[22:15] ---
    Dreams can become reality.
[22:20] ---
    By the way, I forgot to mention that this is
    the story of how I became the greatest hero.
[24:00] ---
    "Next time"
[24:01] ---
    Young man, you are worthy
    to inherit my power.
[24:05] ---
    Inherit your power?
[24:08] ---
    Take my Quirk, One For All!
[24:12] ---
    With this, I can become a hero, too, right?
[24:16] ---
    Of course not. Your body can't take it.
[24:18] ---
    Huh?
[24:20] ---
    Next time, "Roaring Muscles"!
[24:22] ---
    Young Midoriya will get buff!
[24:25] ---
    Go beyond!
