**[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!

"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!
