[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 first match of the first round
of the finals tournament.
[02:01] ---
From the hero course, it's Izuku Midoriya!
[02:04] ---
Versus--
[02:06] ---
From general studies, it's Hitoshi Shinso!
[02:09] ---
The rules are simple.
[02:11] ---
Force your opponent out of bounds,
or immobilize them!
[02:14] ---
You can also win by making
your opponent say, "I give up!"
[02:20] ---
"I give up," huh?
[02:23] ---
This is a fight to test
the strength of your spirit.
[02:27] ---
If you know what you want for your future,
then you can't worry about appearances.
[02:32] ---
Ready?
[02:33] ---
That monkey was going on about his pride...
[02:37] ---
Start!
[02:38] ---
...but don't you think he was
dumb for throwing away his chance?
[02:45] ---
What did you say?!
[02:51] ---
I win.
[02:53] ---
I went through the trouble of warning him, too!
[02:57] ---
Hey, hey, what's the matter?
[02:59] ---
--Deku?!
--It's the important first match! Liven things up!
[03:01] ---
--What in the world is going on?
--It's the important first match! Liven things up!
[03:08] ---
Midoriya! The match just started...
[03:10] ---
...and he's completely frozen?!
[03:13] ---
He's got a blank look on his face
and isn't moving a muscle!
[03:16] ---
Is this Shinso's Quirk?!
[03:19] ---
He didn't stand out at all,
but could he actually be someone amazing?
[03:24] ---
"Victory or Defeat"
[03:29] ---
Hitoshi Shinso from general studies
[03:31] ---
has gotten the better of
Izuku Midoriya from the hero course!
[03:34] ---
Who would've imagined this?!
[03:37] ---
Will the bottom really overthrow the top?
[03:39] ---
That's why I said the
entrance exam wasn't rational.
[03:42] ---
Huh?
[03:43] ---
What?
[03:44] ---
Here's some basic data on the two of them.
[03:47] ---
Since it's individual matches from here
on out, I had someone compile it for me.
SIGN "Hitoshi Shinso General Studies Class 1-C Nabooh Middle School"
[03:50] ---
Shinso failed the practical exam
for the hero course.
[03:54] ---
Since he also applied for general studies,
he probably knew that would happen.
[03:59] ---
His Quirk is very powerful, but the practical
exam consisted of fighting faux villains.
[04:05] ---
That gave an advantage to
those with physical attack Quirks.
[04:12] ---
Shinso wouldn't have been able
to rack up any points with his Quirk.
[04:18] ---
You're lucky that you've
been blessed, Izuku Midoriya.
[04:26] ---
Turn around and walk out of bounds.
[04:36] ---
Huh?
[04:38] ---
What?!
[04:39] ---
Midoriya's being so obedient!
[04:42] ---
Deku, why?
[04:43] ---
If you go out of bounds,
then you'll lose the match!
[04:50] ---
That Quirk is...
[04:52] ---
"Hitoshi Shinso"
"Quirk: Brainwashing"
[04:52] ---
Hitoshi Shinso. Quirk: Brainwashing!
[04:56] ---
Answering his question turns on a
brainwashing switch in his opponent's brain,
[04:59] ---
forcing them to do what he says.
[05:01] ---
If he doesn't want the brainwashing
switch to turn on, it won't!
[05:06] ---
In the fitness test on the first day of school,
[05:09] ---
Midoriya scored pretty low for the hero course,
[05:13] ---
but even in tests where he didn't use his Quirk,
[05:16] ---
he did better than Shinso.
[05:18] ---
So if they fight normally,
then Midoriya would win.
[05:25] ---
If he can just overcome Shinso's Brainwashing...
[05:30] ---
Well, either way, this'll end quickly.
[05:36] ---
Young Midoriya!
[05:38] ---
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh"
[05:38] ---
You can't come here!
[05:45] ---
No! My body's moving on its own...
[05:50] ---
It's like... my head's filled with fog...
[05:53] ---
No!
[05:55] ---
Damn it! Stop!
[05:58] ---
Stop!
[06:00] ---
Even though... Even though Ojiro warned me...
[06:06] ---
Crap!
[06:07] ---
"Waiting Room"
[06:08] ---
Damn it!
[06:12] ---
A Quirk that can control people, huh?
[06:14] ---
Isn't that too strong to beat?
[06:16] ---
Yeah, but you can probably
avoid if you know about it.
[06:19] ---
I don't remember much
after I answered his question.
[06:23] ---
I think that's how it works.
[06:26] ---
So if I answer without thinking,
then I'll lose right away.
[06:29] ---
No, but it's not completely impenetrable.
[06:33] ---
I said I barely remembered
anything until almost the end, right?
[06:39] ---
When we were running away after
Shinso stole Tetsutetsu's headband,
[06:43] ---
It looks like I ran into one of
the horses on Team Tetsutetsu.
[06:48] ---
That's when I snapped out of it.
[06:50] ---
I remember what happened clearly after that.
[06:54] ---
So receiving a shock can get rid of it?
[06:55] ---
It's very likely.
[06:59] ---
Even so, I don't know
what level of shock you need,
[07:03] ---
and in a one-on-one match, you can't
count on outside forces like that.
[07:08] ---
Anyway, that's about all I can tell you.
[07:11] ---
Thanks!
[07:12] ---
That was amazing!
[07:14] ---
I'm going to say something selfish...
[07:19] ---
...but please do your best for me, too.
[07:22] ---
Ojiro...
[07:26] ---
Damn it...
[07:32] ---
This...
[07:34] ---
...quickly!
[07:37] ---
Even though...
[07:39] ---
...everyone is counting on me!
[07:43] ---
In a place like this...
[07:46] ---
Like this...!
[08:00] ---
What... is... this?!
[08:08] ---
Mov...
[08:11] ---
You probably don't understand,
[08:14] ---
but even with a Quirk like this,
I have my own dream.
[08:19] ---
Now, lose for me.
[08:34] ---
Th-This is...!
[08:36] ---
Midoriya's stopped!
[08:40] ---
Midoriya!
[08:42] ---
I'm... I'm so glad!
[08:45] ---
His fingers are...
[08:47] ---
Did he remove the brainwashing
by making them explode?
[08:52] ---
That's crazy...
[08:56] ---
Why?
[08:59] ---
You shouldn't be able to move freely!
[09:01] ---
What did you do?
[09:03] ---
I'm the one who discharged my fingers.
[09:06] ---
But I wasn't the one who moved them.
[09:08] ---
What happened?
[09:09] ---
People I didn't know came to mind,
[09:11] ---
and for a second, my mind was clear!
[09:14] ---
That was...
[09:16] ---
One For All.
[09:17] ---
Passed on to me like a sacred torch.
[09:21] ---
The people...
[09:22] ---
The presence of the people
who spun together this power...
[09:26] ---
Did they save me? Is that even possible?
[09:30] ---
What did you do?!
[09:32] ---
Even if I think about it now,
I won't find the answer.
[09:34] ---
Later... Thinking can come later!
[09:38] ---
He won't answer... Did he figure out my secret?
[09:42] ---
No, he should've heard from
that monkey from the beginning.
[09:47] ---
All I can do is make him talk again...
[09:51] ---
Say something.
[09:57] ---
You can produce that much
power just by moving your fingers?
[10:00] ---
I'm jealous.
[10:01] ---
I felt the same way in the past.
[10:05] ---
Thanks to my Quirk,
I've been behind from the start.
[10:09] ---
Someone who's been blessed like
you can't understand, can you?
[10:11] ---
I do understand.
[10:12] ---
But, it's true... I've been blessed.
[10:15] ---
Someone like you who was
born with the ideal Quirk!
[10:17] ---
Someone who can reach your goal!
[10:20] ---
I've been blessed by others!
[10:23] ---
That's why!
[10:27] ---
Say something!
[10:30] ---
I can't...
[10:33] ---
...lose, either!
[10:36] ---
Is he trying to push me out?
[10:39] ---
You've got to be kidding!
[10:42] ---
You get out!
[10:49] ---
I can't lose...!
[11:04] ---
Shinso is out of bounds!
[11:06] ---
Midoriya advances to round two!
[11:22] ---
"Three Years Ago"
[11:25] ---
"Nabooh City Middle School"
[11:28] ---
Wow, Shinso, your Quirk is Brainwashing?
[11:32] ---
Seriously?
[11:32] ---
That's amazing! I've never heard of that before!
[11:35] ---
I'm so jealous...
[11:37] ---
I can't believe you can control anyone!
[11:40] ---
You can do as much bad stuff as you want!
[11:42] ---
No one'd know it was you.
[11:45] ---
Don't control us, okay?
[11:52] ---
Everyone says that.
[11:55] ---
Of course, if someone else had it, the first thing
[11:57] ---
I'd think is that they'd use it for evil, too.
[12:00] ---
"Criminal"...
[12:02] ---
"It's good for being a villain, huh?"
I'm used to people insinuating that about me.
[12:08] ---
That's just what the world is like.
[12:15] ---
But you know...
[12:18] ---
But...
[12:25] ---
In the finals, the first person
to advance to the second round
[12:30] ---
is Izuku Midoriya from Class A!
[12:36] ---
I was so nervous!
[12:37] ---
Turning the tables at the last moment!
[12:40] ---
As expected of Midoriya!
[12:42] ---
He did that shoulder toss
on you before, too, didn't he?
[12:44] ---
Shut up, Dunce Face.
[12:47] ---
That damn...
[12:49] ---
He was definitely aiming for it!
[12:52] ---
He led him right into it!
[12:57] ---
Using his power on part of
his body like at the fitness test
[12:59] ---
and the throw from the combat training...
[13:01] ---
Rather than calling it the
best use of his experience,
[13:03] ---
it's like he's using any experience he
can to force the flow to change in his favor.
[13:07] ---
"Izuku Midoriya"
[13:08] ---
Yahoo!
[13:10] ---
That was kind of a boring first match,
[13:12] ---
but we should praise them
both for a bravely fought match.
[13:15] ---
Clap your hands!
[13:18] ---
Someone who's been blessed
like you can't understand, can you?
[13:21] ---
Someone who can reach your goal!
[13:26] ---
Shinso, why do you want to be a hero?
[13:33] ---
But you know...
[13:36] ---
You can't help the things you long for.
[13:41] ---
I felt the same way before
I inherited One For All.
[13:50] ---
But...
[13:52] ---
No matter what I say right now...
[14:01] ---
You were really cool, Shinso!
[14:06] ---
Good job!
[14:07] ---
I was really surprised!
[14:09] ---
You're the star of general studies!
[14:11] ---
You put up a great fight against the guy
who placed first in the obstacle course!
[14:16] ---
Besides--
[14:19] ---
That Quirk would work quite
well against villains. I wish I had it.
[14:24] ---
U.A.'s not very smart
if he's in general studies.
[14:27] ---
Well, they've got a ton of people applying,
so some things just can't be helped.
[14:32] ---
It was the difference in combat experience, huh?
[14:34] ---
Yeah, it ends up making a big difference.
[14:37] ---
What a waste.
[14:39] ---
You hear that, Shinso?
[14:41] ---
You're amazing!
[14:50] ---
Depending on the results, they'll consider
our transfer into the hero course.
[14:56] ---
Remember that.
[14:58] ---
Even if it didn't work this time,
I definitely won't give up.
[15:03] ---
I'll get into the hero course, get certified,
[15:06] ---
and I'll definitely become
a better hero than you guys!
[15:13] ---
Yeah!
[15:15] ---
He got me!
[15:16] ---
Even though the match is over, what's he...?
[15:21] ---
People are usually wary
when they talk to me, though...
[15:26] ---
At this rate, someone'll trip you up in no time.
[15:30] ---
At least...
[15:32] ---
...don't lose in an unseemly way.
[15:36] ---
Shinso...
[15:38] ---
I won't!
[15:45] ---
"Recovery Girl's Temporary Nurse's Office"
[15:45] ---
Kiss!
[15:48] ---
That should do it.
[15:50] ---
In the match with Shinso,
I couldn't smile at all.
[15:56] ---
Well, his cries hit close to home for you, huh?
[16:01] ---
But that didn't mean that I could lose.
[16:05] ---
That's what it means
to aim for number one, right?
[16:10] ---
Poor thing.
[16:12] ---
You put some weird pressure
on him again, didn't you?
[16:16] ---
It was necessary! Ouch.
[16:19] ---
Oh yeah, All Might.
[16:21] ---
I had a vision...
[16:24] ---
There were eight or nine people...
I'm not sure exactly how many...
[16:30] ---
But when it felt like my mind was
filled with fog from the brainwashing,
[16:34] ---
the vision appeared,
as if to drive away the fog.
[16:38] ---
It was like I was barely able to move
just my fingertips for a moment...
[16:43] ---
There was someone with
eyes like you, too, All Might.
[16:47] ---
Was it... the people who had
inherited One For All who did it?
[16:54] ---
Scary... What the heck?
[16:56] ---
What? I thought you'd know about it!
[16:58] ---
No, I also saw it before, in my younger days.
[17:03] ---
It's a clear sign that you've got
a better grasp on One For All.
[17:08] ---
What does that mean?
[17:09] ---
I think it's like a trace of something
they left behind in One For All.
[17:14] ---
It's not something with intent
that can interfere with you,
[17:17] ---
and you can't interfere with them.
[17:20] ---
In other words, that vision isn't
what got rid of the brainwashing.
[17:24] ---
It was that when you saw the vision,
[17:26] ---
your strong emotions allowed you to
overcome Young Shinso's Brainwashing
[17:30] ---
for just long enough
to move your fingertips, I think.
[17:37] ---
That explanation's not
satisfying at all, though...
[17:39] ---
Don't get too hung up about it!
[17:40] ---
More importantly, don't you need
to go see who you'll fight next?
[17:44] ---
"Recovery Girl's Temporary Nurse's Office"
[17:45] ---
Thank you both very much!
[17:47] ---
Welcome.
[17:48] ---
Goodbye!
[17:53] ---
You... were there, too, he said.
[17:56] ---
That's a good thing.
[17:58] ---
"Player Waiting Room 2"
[18:03] ---
Midoriya won, huh?
[18:10] ---
You're in my way.
[18:13] ---
You're acting disgracefully, Shoto.
[18:19] ---
If you used the power in your left side,
[18:21] ---
you would've had an overwhelming victory in the
[18:24] ---
obstacle course and the cavalry battle.
[18:27] ---
Stop this childish rebellion already.
[18:30] ---
You have a duty to surpass All Might.
[18:35] ---
Do you understand?
[18:38] ---
You're different from your siblings.
[18:39] ---
You are the greatest masterpiece!
[18:43] ---
Is that all you can say, bastard?
[18:47] ---
I will win and advance with just Mom's power.
[18:50] ---
I won't use your power when I fight.
[18:56] ---
Even if that works for now,
[18:58] ---
you'll soon reach the limits of that power.
[19:08] ---
Oh, Deku!
[19:10] ---
Good work!
[19:12] ---
We saved a seat for you!
[19:14] ---
Thanks.
[19:22] ---
Thanks for waiting!
[19:25] ---
Next up is... these guys!
[19:28] ---
"Shoto Todoroki" "Hanta Sero"
[19:29] ---
He's good! He's good, but what's
with that plainness he just can't get rid of?
[19:34] ---
From the hero course, it's Hanta Sero!
[19:37] ---
That's mean.
[19:38] ---
Versus--
[19:39] ---
Taking second, then first in the prelims!
You're way too strong, kid!
[19:43] ---
He wasn't recommended for admission for nothing!
[19:46] ---
Also from the hero course, it's Shoto Todoroki!
[19:52] ---
And now, for the second match of the finals--
[19:55] ---
--Ready... Start!
--Well, I don't feel like I can win...
[20:00] ---
...but I don't feel like losing, either!
[20:04] ---
A surprise attack aimed
to push his opponent out of bounds!
[20:06] ---
Don't you think that was the
best choice for this situation?!
[20:09] ---
Seriously, get him, Sero!
[20:13] ---
Sorry.
[20:20] ---
Wh-What was that?
[20:22] ---
What's this vibration?
[20:30] ---
What's that?
[20:45] ---
Don't...
[20:47] ---
Don't you think that's a bit much?
[20:50] ---
Sero, can you move?
[20:53] ---
O-Of course not...
[20:56] ---
Ow...
[20:58] ---
Sero is immobilized!
[21:00] ---
Todoroki advances to the second round!
[21:09] ---
D-Don't worry about it...
[21:11] ---
Don't worry about it!
[21:13] ---
--Don't worry about it!
--Don't worry about it!
[21:17] ---
Don't worry about it!
[21:20] ---
Sorry, I went overboard.
[21:27] ---
I was angry.
[21:32] ---
Under the eyes of the crowd that started
shouting "Don't worry about it" unprompted
[21:36] ---
was Todoroki, melting what
he'd frozen himself with his left hand.
[21:41] ---
For some reason...
[21:42] ---
...he looked very sad to me.
[23:20] ---
"Preview"

There's only a slight difference
between winning and losing!
[23:30] ---
Even so--
