[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,
[00:08] ---
    the profession that everyone
    once dreamed about and admired
[00:12] ---
    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.
[01:59] ---
    Everybody, sorry for the long wait!
[02:03] ---
    The stage that was frozen in the second match
[02:05] ---
    is finally dry, so on to the next match!
[02:10] ---
    The assassin from Class B!
[02:11] ---
    Pretty things have thorns, you know!
[02:14] ---
    From the hero course, it's Ibara Shiozaki!
[02:17] ---
    Versus--
[02:18] ---
    Sparking Killing Boy!
[02:20] ---
    From the hero course, it's Denki Kaminari!
[02:24] ---
    "Battle on, Challengers!"
[02:30] ---
    Now, we'll have a super
    flashy battle this time too--
[02:34] ---
    Um...
[02:36] ---
    Please excuse the interruption.
[02:38] ---
    What do you mean by "assassin"?
[02:40] ---
    I have only come to find victory,
    not to take my opponent's life.
[02:48] ---
    I-I'm sorry!
[02:49] ---
    In the first place, I wished to enter
    U.A. High School not for wicked reasons,
[02:56] ---
    but for the salvation of others...
[02:59] ---
    I said, I'm sorry!
[03:00] ---
    My bad, okay?!
[03:03] ---
    I thank you for your understanding.
[03:07] ---
    Class B has people like this in it, too, huh?
[03:11] ---
    She's got big eyes and a pretty face,
[03:14] ---
    but it looks like she's really strong.
[03:17] ---
    I've gotta discharge
    all my electricity here, huh?
[03:20] ---
    Actually, she's pretty,
    but she's also kinda cute...
[03:26] ---
    I've gotta ask her out sometime, huh?
[03:29] ---
    All right...!
[03:32] ---
    A-Anyway, start!
[03:34] ---
    When this is over, wanna grab a bite to eat?
[03:37] ---
    I'll comfort you if you'll have me.
[03:40] ---
    'Cause this match'll
    probably be over in a second!
[03:49] ---
    Indiscriminate Shock...
[03:51] ---
    1.3 Million Volts!
[04:09] ---
    It was decided in an instant!
    I'll say it once more! An instant!
[04:14] ---
    Shiozaki advances to the second round!
[04:20] ---
    Oh, I was able to make the
    most of the opportunity I was given.
[04:26] ---
    "Ibara Shiozaki"
    "Quirk: Vines"
[04:27] ---
    Ibara Shiozaki. Quirk: Vines!
[04:30] ---
    The vines on her head are extendable!
[04:32] ---
    They're detachable, too!
[04:34] ---
    As long as she makes sure
    to get plenty of water and sunlight,
[04:36] ---
    they'll grow in almost immediately.
[04:38] ---
    In other words, she can't go bald!
[04:40] ---
    All right!
[04:41] ---
    Good job, Shiozaki!
[04:43] ---
    Man...
[04:45] ---
    What's that? Didn't he say
    he'd settle this in a second?
[04:49] ---
    That's strange, he was
    defeated in a second, wasn't he?
[04:52] ---
    Class A is supposed to be better
    than Class B, so isn't that weird?
[05:00] ---
    Sorry!
[05:02] ---
    What was that just now?
[05:05] ---
    Kamui, Kamui!
[05:07] ---
    Wouldn't she be good as a sidekick?
[05:11] ---
    Yeah. I wish I could've gotten a better look.
[05:14] ---
    She seems straight-laced, but she's cute!
[05:17] ---
    Hey, get back to work.
[05:19] ---
    It was hard to deal with Shiozaki's
    ability to detach her vines, huh?
[05:24] ---
    The vines were able not only to defend
    but also to act as an electrical ground.
[05:27] ---
    There was no way he'd shock her with that.
[05:29] ---
    And then she extended her vines to bind him.
[05:32] ---
    Kaminari's Quirk was completely blocked.
[05:34] ---
    Some Quirks don't work well against others,
[05:36] ---
    but it would've been better
    if he'd been able to deal with it...
[05:41] ---
    Kaminari's Quirk is supposed to be strong,
[05:44] ---
    but Shiozaki is a strong opponent
    who placed fourth in the entrance exam.
[05:44] ---
    "mutter mutter mutter"
[05:46] ---
    Vines, huh? I wonder
    if it's like Kamui Woods's Quirk.
[05:50] ---
    Binding types really are strong.
    I hardly ever see anyone break out.
[05:54] ---
    It'd be impossible to get close
    while avoiding all those vines,
[05:57] ---
    so you'd either have to tear them off
    or get through with brute force...
[06:00] ---
    Oh, but in order to keep you from doing that,
    she'd go after your hands first...
[06:04] ---
    Umm...
[06:04] ---
    "mutter mutter mutter"
[06:05] ---
    You just finished, but you're already
    thinking about countermeasures, huh?
[06:09] ---
    Oh, no! It's just, I mean,
    this is pretty much my hobby...
[06:13] ---
    It's not every day I get a chance to see
    amazing Quirks outside of those in our class...
[06:19] ---
    Oh, right! I've been putting these
    together for everyone in Class A, too.
[06:23] ---
    For your Zero Gravity, too!
[06:28] ---
    Deku, you've been amazing since I met you,
[06:30] ---
    but the sports festival is making me
    think that you're amazing all over again.
[06:37] ---
    Now, it's time for the fourth match!
[06:39] ---
    We're just gonna keep rolling along!
[06:41] ---
    Rush headlong toward the top!
[06:46] ---
    It's like he's the epitome
    of the middle of the pack!
[06:48] ---
    From the hero course, it's Tenya Iida!
[06:50] ---
    Versus--
[06:51] ---
    Fully-equipped with support items!
[06:53] ---
    From the support course, it's Mei Hatsume!
[06:57] ---
    He's up against the support course, huh?
[06:59] ---
    I wonder what kind of fight it'll be?
[07:01] ---
    I mean, what is that?
[07:05] ---
    Iida's also fully-equipped with support items!
[07:09] ---
    That's generally against the rules
    for those in the hero course.
[07:12] ---
    Those who must use equipment
    needed to petition beforehand.
[07:16] ---
    I forgot about that!
[07:17] ---
    Aoyama also wore a belt,
    so I thought it was fine!
[07:20] ---
    He submitted a petition.
[07:23] ---
    I humbly apologize!
[07:25] ---
    However, my heart was moved
    by my opponent's sportsmanship.
[07:30] ---
    Even though she is from the support course,
[07:33] ---
    she said she wanted an even
    match since she made it this far.
[07:35] ---
    She said she wanted to fight fairly.
[07:37] ---
    So, she gave me this equipment!
[07:41] ---
    I did not think I could
    ignore her fighting spirit!
[07:46] ---
    Oh, youth!
[07:50] ---
    I'll allow it!
[07:51] ---
    So it's fine?
[07:52] ---
    Well, if they both agree on it,
    then it's within regulations... I guess?
[07:57] ---
    "Hero Analysis for the Future"
[07:58] ---
    Is Hatsume someone who'd say that?
[08:01] ---
    Could it be...?
[08:05] ---
    Well, since permission's been granted,
    let's start the fourth match!
[08:16] ---
    Isn't that acceleration wonderful, Iida?
[08:21] ---
    A mic?
[08:22] ---
    Why?
[08:23] ---
    She's wearing speakers?
[08:25] ---
    Don't your legs feel lighter than usual?
[08:27] ---
    That's only to be expected!
[08:29] ---
    Those leg parts are helping
    the wearer's movements along!
[08:34] ---
    And I...
[08:36] ---
    ...can evade easily with
    my hydraulic attachments!
[08:42] ---
    The support companies are sitting...
[08:44] ---
    Oh, they're biting! I've got 'em!
[08:48] ---
    "Mei Hatsume"
    "Quirk: Zoom"
[08:49] ---
    Mei Hatsume. Quirk: Zoom.
[08:51] ---
    If she gets serious, she can see
    clearly up to five kilometer's away!
[08:56] ---
    Since I've got sensors in every direction,
[08:58] ---
    I can even deal with attacks from behind!
[09:09] ---
    What are you planning?
[09:10] ---
    Iida changed course adeptly!
[09:13] ---
    It's thanks to the auto-balancer that I made!
[09:17] ---
    --What is this...?
[09:17] ---
    --The leg parts detect the wearer's
    brainwaves to predict their movements,
[09:19] ---
    --She's very good at hard selling...
[09:19] ---
    --The leg parts detect the wearer's
    brainwaves to predict their movements,
[09:21] ---
    so there's no need to worry about time lag!
[09:25] ---
    The auto-balancer is equipped
    with a 32-axis gyro sensor!
[09:30] ---
    It will be sure to keep the wearer
    from falling unless the wearer wants to!
[09:35] ---
    Weren't you going to fight fairly?!
[09:44] ---
    What do you think of this lightness?!
[09:47] ---
    These electro shoes use
    electromagnetic induction on both feet
[09:50] ---
    to allow for instant evasive action!
[09:56] ---
    I'll get her when she lands!
[10:03] ---
    Wh-What's this?
[10:05] ---
    A capture gun to use against villains.
[10:08] ---
    The capture nets are in cartridges,
    and you can fire up to five before reloading!
[10:13] ---
    Who developed all of these items?
[10:16] ---
    It was me, Mei Hatsume!
[10:19] ---
    Everyone from the support companies,
[10:21] ---
    the choice is clear--Mei Hatsume,
    Mei Hatsume, Mei Hatsume!
[10:28] ---
    What is she, a politician?
[10:29] ---
    And now, I will talk
    about the next support item!
[10:32] ---
    There's still more?
[10:35] ---
    "Ten Minutes Later"
[10:41] ---
    I've presented each and every last one of them.
[10:45] ---
    I have nothing left to say!
[10:48] ---
    "The End"
[10:51] ---
    H-Hatsume is out of bounds.
[10:53] ---
    Iida advances to the second round!
[10:55] ---
    You tricked me...!
[11:00] ---
    I'm sorry. I used you.
[11:04] ---
    I hate you!
[11:05] ---
    Iida's earnest, so she probably said some things
[11:08] ---
    that sounded good to get him on board.
[11:10] ---
    Hatsume's not just honest,
[11:13] ---
    she will also use any means to reach her goal.
[11:16] ---
    Amazing...
[11:32] ---
    We're gonna keep right
    on going with the fifth match!
[11:35] ---
    Even though he's wearing
    a belt, he won't transform!
[11:38] ---
    From the hero course, it's Yuga Aoyama!
[11:40] ---
    Bonjour.
[11:42] ---
    Versus--
[11:43] ---
    Is something going to
    come out of those horns? Well?
[11:46] ---
    From the hero course, it's Mina Ashido!
[11:50] ---
    My first match is a piece of cake!
[11:52] ---
    I'll return those words right back at you.
[11:55] ---
    Mina, you can do it!
[11:57] ---
    Aoyama, get her!
[11:59] ---
    Beat her like in those fighting games
    where their clothes get ripped off!
[12:03] ---
    What are you, scum?
[12:05] ---
    A match between Aoyama and Ashido.
[12:07] ---
    Considering their Quirks...
[12:10] ---
    Aoyama will probably attack
    from a distance with his laser.
[12:14] ---
    So the match will be decided by how well Ashido can slip
[12:17] ---
    through Aoyama's attacks and turn it into a close combat match.
[12:21] ---
    But there's nothing
    to use as cover on the stage,
[12:24] ---
    so Ashido might be at a slight disadvantage.
[12:26] ---
    Now, why don't we get moving?
[12:28] ---
    Fifth match, start!
[12:31] ---
    The early bird gets the worm!
[12:33] ---
    Whoops!
[12:36] ---
    Since we were on the
    same team for combat training,
[12:38] ---
    I know all about your Quirk!
[12:41] ---
    Same goes for me!
[12:43] ---
    There's just one thing that's different.
[12:46] ---
    At the fitness test--
[12:48] ---
    If I shoot for more than a second,
    I get a stomachache.
[12:52] ---
    That's what you said!
[13:01] ---
    You're...
[13:03] ---
    ...persistent!
[13:08] ---
    My... My stomach...
[13:10] ---
    Now!
[13:14] ---
    Oh no, my precious belt!
[13:18] ---
    And my pants!
[13:20] ---
    I'll finish it...
[13:23] ---
    ...with this!
[13:33] ---
    Aoyama has fainted!
[13:35] ---
    Ashido advances to the second round!
[13:41] ---
    Aoyama's knocked out!
[13:43] ---
    Ashido's easy victory is indisputable!
[13:47] ---
    Mina's amazing!
[13:53] ---
    If only Aoyama and
    Ashido's Quirks were switched...!
[13:55] ---
    You're too much of a scumbag.
[14:01] ---
    The match unfolded as I expected,
    but I misjudged Ashido's physical strength.
[14:06] ---
    Even during the Quirk assessment test,
    she placed ninth out of everyone,
[14:09] ---
    including the boys.
[14:11] ---
    It wasn't because of her Quirk--she's
    got excellent physical abilities.
[14:15] ---
    Now, we've got no time to lose!
    Let's move on to the sixth match!
[14:19] ---
    Hey, I said get back to work!
[14:21] ---
    Offense and defense in one body!
[14:22] ---
    The dark samurai accompanied by Dark Shadow!
[14:25] ---
    From the hero course, it's Fumikage Tokoyami!
[14:28] ---
    Versus--
[14:29] ---
    All-purpose Creation!
[14:31] ---
    She was admitted through recommendations,
    so her abilities are certified!
[14:35] ---
    From the hero course, it's Momo Yaoyorozu!
[14:38] ---
    Midoriya, what do you think of this match?
[14:41] ---
    I think time will be the key.
[14:43] ---
    Time?
[14:45] ---
    It's just as Mr. Present Mic says,
[14:48] ---
    I'm up against Tokoyami with Dark Shadow,
    offense and defense in one body.
[14:51] ---
    In addition, Tokoyami can bring
    out Dark Shadow with no time lag,
[14:56] ---
    so there is no doubt he will
    start with a preemptive strike.
[15:00] ---
    If I create a simple shield that doesn't take
    much time and block Tokoyami's attack...
[15:05] ---
    If I just give myself enough
    time to make a weapon--
[15:07] ---
    Sixth match, start!
[15:10] ---
    Go, Dark Shadow!
[15:11] ---
    Got it!
[15:13] ---
    Quickly create a shield--
[15:17] ---
    Next, a weapon--
[15:21] ---
    I can't collect my thoughts!
[15:35] ---
    His attacks have stopped?
[15:37] ---
    Now!
[15:39] ---
    Yaoyorozu!
[15:41] ---
    Out of bounds!
[15:47] ---
    Tokoyami advances to the second round!
[15:53] ---
    An overwhelming victory!
[15:54] ---
    A completely overwhelming victory!
[15:56] ---
    Tokoyami's Dark Shadow!
    Could it be the greatest Quirk ever?
[16:02] ---
    No...
[16:04] ---
    I couldn't do anything...
[16:07] ---
    Nothing...
[16:10] ---
    Tokoyami's too amazing.
[16:12] ---
    I can't believe he forced her out of bounds
[16:14] ---
    just by focusing his attacks
    on the shield Yaoyozoru made.
[16:18] ---
    He was trying not to hurt her?
[16:22] ---
    That's how easy it was for him, huh?
[16:25] ---
    She must feel really frustrated...
[16:32] ---
    Okay, let's move on! Next up--
[16:37] ---
    The seventh match is a
    match-up between redundant Quirks!
[16:37] ---
    "Eijiro Kirishima" "Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu"
[16:41] ---
    Manly and passionate steel!
[16:44] ---
    From the hero course,
    it's Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu!
[16:46] ---
    All right!
[16:48] ---
    Versus--
[16:49] ---
    Manly and passionate hardening!
[16:52] ---
    From the hero course, it's Eijiro Kirishima!
[16:54] ---
    Even our intros are the same?!
[16:57] ---
    Go, Tetsutetsu!
[16:59] ---
    Win like Ibara did!
[17:03] ---
    Get a hold of yourself.
[17:06] ---
    Let's start this passionate seventh match!
[17:19] ---
    "Player Waiting Room 2"
[17:24] ---
    Good work, Iida.
[17:26] ---
    Oh, Urarak--
[17:28] ---
    You're not like yourself at all!
    Your brow's all wrinkled!
[17:30] ---
    My brow?
[17:32] ---
    Oh, it's just my nerves...
    Must've reached my brow.
[17:37] ---
    I see...
[17:38] ---
    You're up against that Bakugo, after all...
[17:42] ---
    Yeah, I'm really scared.
[17:45] ---
    But you know, after seeing
    a match like yours, Iida...
[17:49] ---
    Like mine?
[17:52] ---
    Uraraka!
[17:54] ---
    Deku!
[17:55] ---
    Huh? You don't want
    to watch the others' matches?
[17:58] ---
    Most ended quickly, and now Kirishima
    is up against someone from Class B.
[18:11] ---
    That didn't hurt at all!
[18:18] ---
    That didn't hurt, either!
[18:22] ---
    Then, next... soon...
[18:27] ---
    But, well, I don't think even Bakugo
    would use a full-strength explosion on a girl...
[18:32] ---
    He would.
[18:35] ---
    Everyone's trying to become number one
    to make their dreams come true.
[18:37] ---
    "Player Waiting Room 1"
[18:40] ---
    Even if it's not Kacchan,
    no one would think about holding back.
[18:44] ---
    You've helped me so much, Uraraka.
[18:48] ---
    That's why I thought maybe
    I could help you a little.
[18:53] ---
    A plan to use your Quirk against Kacchan--
[18:56] ---
    It's rough, but I came up with something.
[18:58] ---
    Oh, isn't that great, Uraraka?
[19:02] ---
    Thanks, Deku.
[19:06] ---
    But, it's fine.
[19:09] ---
    You're amazing, Deku.
[19:11] ---
    I keep seeing more
    and more amazing sides to you.
[19:14] ---
    During the cavalry battle, I thought
    it'd be easier to team up with friends,
[19:19] ---
    but now that I think about it,
    I might've been trying to rely on you.
[19:24] ---
    That's why, when Iida said he'd challenge you,
[19:28] ---
    it actually made me feel a little embarrassed.
[19:32] ---
    Uraraka...
[19:35] ---
    That's why it's fine.
[19:40] ---
    Everyone's facing the future
    and trying their hardest.
[19:44] ---
    That means we're all rivals, right?
[19:49] ---
    That's why...
[19:52] ---
    Let's meet in the finals!
[20:13] ---
    The two guys with the same Quirks!
    Tetsutetsu versus Kirishima!
[20:16] ---
    A head-to-head fistfight! The winner is--
[20:24] ---
    Both contestants down! It's a draw!
[20:28] ---
    In the case of a draw, after they recover,
[20:31] ---
    the winner will be determined by
    a simple contest, like arm wrestling.
[20:34] ---
    Their ability was the same, too?
[20:36] ---
    I like passionate guys like that.
[20:39] ---
    They're inspiring.
    I'd like a sidekick like that.
[20:43] ---
    While we wait for Tetsutetsu
    and Kirishima to recover,
[20:45] ---
    we'll start the next match!
[20:49] ---
    "Katsuki Bakugo" "Ochaco Uraraka"
[20:56] ---
    Next might be the most disturbing match-up.
[20:59] ---
    I almost don't want to watch...
[21:06] ---
    Uraraka...
[21:09] ---
    Do your best!
[21:13] ---
    The eighth and last match of the first round!
[21:17] ---
    He was kind of famous in middle school!
[21:19] ---
    This isn't the face of a regular person!
[21:21] ---
    From the hero course, it's Katsuki Bakugo!
[21:25] ---
    Versus--
[21:26] ---
    She's the one I'm rooting for!
[21:28] ---
    From the hero course, it's Ochaco Uraraka!
[21:43] ---
    Eighth match, start!
[23:20] ---
    "Preview"
[23:20] ---
    Oh, this is, you know, the preview...
[23:24] ---
    Uraraka, there's no spirit in your words.
[23:27] ---
    But I guess that makes sense,
    since your first match is against Kacchan.
[23:29] ---
    But I'll do it.
[23:30] ---
    In order to become a hero
    and let my parents take it easy!
[23:34] ---
    Deku, let's meet in the finals!
[23:37] ---
    Yeah, good luck, Uraraka!
[23:39] ---
    Next time, "Bakugo vs. Uraraka"!
[23:41] ---
    The meteor shower falling from
    the sky will be the path to victory!
[23:45] ---
    Go beyond!
[23:46] ---
    "Next time: Bakugo vs. Uraraka"
[23:47] ---
    Plus Ultra!
