    U.A. High School's hero course.
SIGN    "U.A. High School Entrance Exam Location"
[00:04] ---
    A training school for those
    whose goal is to acquire
[00:06] ---
    the necessary qualifications
    needed for pro heroes.
[00:09] ---
    Among similar courses across the country,
[00:10] ---
    theirs is the most popular
    and most competitive,
[00:13] ---
    and their acceptance rate is less
    than one in three hundred every year.
[00:17] ---
    The hero who refused a National Honor Award--
[00:20] ---
    The number one hero, All Might.
[00:24] ---
    The hero who resolved
    the most incidents in history--
[00:27] ---
    The Fiery Hero, Endeavor.
[00:31] ---
    The winner of the Best Jeanist
    award eight years in a row--
[00:34] ---
    Best Jeanist.
[00:36] ---
    Graduating from U.A. is a
    requirement for becoming a great hero.
[00:42] ---
    And so, I also tackled
    the U.A. entrance exam.
[00:46] ---
    I will take...
[00:48] ---
    ...the first step toward
    my dream of becoming a hero!
[02:23] ---
    "U.A. High School Hero Course
    Entrance Exam Location"
[02:27] ---
    "Battle Center B "
[02:28] ---
    What is this?
[02:30] ---
    It's like a city!
[02:31] ---
    They have more than one
    of these on the school grounds?
[02:34] ---
    U.A.'s amazing!
[02:37] ---
    As it says in the application requirements,
[02:39] ---
    you listeners will be conducting
    ten-minute mock urban battles after this!
[02:44] ---
    Three different types of faux villains
    are stationed in each battle center.
[02:49] ---
    You earn points for each of
    them based on their level of difficulty.
[02:53] ---
    Your goal, dear listeners,
    is to use your Quirks
[02:57] ---
    to earn points by
    immobilizing the faux villains.
[03:01] ---
    Mock battles...
[03:05] ---
    How can everyone be so confident?
[03:08] ---
    Aren't they nervous?
[03:11] ---
    They even have equipment
    to go with their Quirks...
[03:14] ---
    Oh, it's the person I met at
    the school gates! The nice person!
[03:17] ---
    She was assigned to the
    same battle center, huh?
[03:20] ---
    Oh yeah, I have to thank her for earlier.
[03:26] ---
    He's here, too?
[03:28] ---
    That girl appears to be trying to focus.
[03:32] ---
    What are you doing here?
[03:33] ---
    Are you taking the entrance exam
    to interfere with everyone else?
[03:35] ---
    N-N-No, of course not...
[03:37] ---
    That guy's the one who was about
    to trip in front of the school gates, right?
[03:41] ---
    The one who winced after being called out.
[03:43] ---
    At the very least, we have
    one less rival to worry about, huh?
[03:46] ---
    "Lucky"
[03:47] ---
    Lucky for us.
[03:50] ---
    I feel like the others think
    they lucked out because I'm here...
[03:53] ---
    Okay, start!
[03:55] ---
    What's wrong? There are
    no countdowns in real fights!
[03:58] ---
    Run, run!
[04:00] ---
    The die has been cast, you know!
[04:02] ---
    Huh? Huh?
[04:05] ---
    What?!
[04:07] ---
    I... I'm behind already!
[04:11] ---
    "Episode 4: Start Line"
[04:16] ---
    I'm behind.
[04:18] ---
    Calm down, calm down. It's fine. It's fine!
[04:22] ---
    "Dagoba Municipal Beach Park"
[04:22] ---
    I have All Might with me.
[04:28] ---
    All right! You swallowed the hair, right?
[04:32] ---
    I don't feel any different, though...
[04:36] ---
    Of course not!
[04:38] ---
    What do you think the stomach does?
[04:41] ---
    Well, you'll feel something
    in two or three hours.
[04:45] ---
    I'm so nervous...
[04:47] ---
    I need to hurry back,
    take a shower, and eat breakfast.
[04:50] ---
    You have become a proper vessel,
    but it was one that was made in a hurry.
[04:56] ---
    You didn't even get
    to take it for a test drive...
[04:59] ---
    Prepare yourself for the physical
    repercussions it'll have on your body.
[05:02] ---
    Huh?
[05:03] ---
    I don't have time to explain
    in detail, so I'll just tell you this.
[05:08] ---
    When you use my Quirk, One For All,
[05:12] ---
    squeeze your buttocks
    and yell this inside your heart--
[05:16] ---
    "S--"
[05:20] ---
    One point!
[05:23] ---
    Target acquired. I'll kill you!
[05:27] ---
    It's coming! It's coming! It's coming!
[05:31] ---
    Why can't I move?
[05:35] ---
    Idiot, why?!
[05:41] ---
    Thanks for distracting it!
[05:44] ---
    A laser?
[05:45] ---
    Merci! We made a good team.
[05:50] ---
    But I don't think we'll meet again.
[05:54] ---
    Adieu!
[05:56] ---
    We won't meet again...?
[05:57] ---
    Six minutes and two seconds left!
[06:00] ---
    Oh no! Oh no!
[06:02] ---
    Oh no!
[06:03] ---
    Points...
[06:05] ---
    I need points fast!
[06:18] ---
    The nice person!
[06:26] ---
    Release!
[06:32] ---
    That's twenty-eight points...!
[06:34] ---
    What? Twenty-eight?
[06:41] ---
    Forty-five points!
[06:42] ---
    Forty-five?!
[06:44] ---
    That's thirty-two!
[06:46] ---
    That one's mine! Don't take it!
[06:48] ---
    It's first-come, first-served!
[06:50] ---
    The number of enemies is decreasing fast!
[06:53] ---
    Oh no!
[06:55] ---
    In this practical exam,
[06:57] ---
    the examinees have not been informed
    of the number of villains or their locations.
[07:01] ---
    They have a limited amount
    of time in a vast area.
[07:04] ---
    They have to draw the
    villains out from there.
[07:06] ---
    Information gathering ability to
    understand the situation before anyone else.
[07:10] ---
    Mobility that can be used
    in many different circumstances.
[07:13] ---
    Discernment to be able
    to stay calm in any situation.
[07:18] ---
    And pure combat ability.
[07:22] ---
    These basic abilities needed
    to keep the peace in the streets
[07:25] ---
    are turned into points in this test.
[07:28] ---
    Doesn't this year's group look promising?
[07:30] ---
    Well, we can't know for sure yet.
[07:33] ---
    Their true test is still to come.
[07:59] ---
    An obstacle that will go
    crazy in narrow spaces.
[08:02] ---
    I recommend that you
    listeners try to avoid it.
[08:06] ---
    Isn't it a little too big?
[08:23] ---
    An overwhelming threat.
[08:26] ---
    How people act after they've
    seen this shows their true nature.
[08:32] ---
    This isn't funny! I have to run away!
    I'll get points as I run...
[08:35] ---
    Shoot, shoot, shoot, I'm
    still at zero points!
[08:39] ---
    Less than two minutes left!
[08:42] ---
    Two minutes?!
[08:44] ---
    It'll be wasted. Everything
    All Might gave me...
[08:48] ---
    ...will be wasted!
[08:51] ---
    Ow!
[09:07] ---
    It'd be bad luck if you fell, right?
[09:16] ---
    There is absolutely no merit
    in taking on that faux villain.
[09:21] ---
    But that creates the opportunity...
[09:24] ---
    ...for it to shine brightly...
[09:29] ---
    ...and rise to the surface.
[09:41] ---
    Squeeze your buttocks...
[09:44] ---
    ...and yell this inside your heart--
[09:48] ---
    Smash...!
[10:01] ---
    That's right. It rises to the surface--
[10:04] ---
    The most important qualification of a hero--
[10:08] ---
    The spirit of self-sacrifice!
[10:24] ---
    The conditions are the same
    as when I tried to save Kacchan.
[10:31] ---
    But it's different. This time--
[10:38] ---
    One minute left!
[10:46] ---
    Wait, this is All Might's power.
[10:49] ---
    I'm able to jump this high now.
[10:51] ---
    Landing should be a
    piece of cake-cake-cake-cake...
[10:57] ---
    "Break"?!
[11:02] ---
    You have become a proper vessel,
    but it was one that was made in a hurry.
[11:07] ---
    Prepare yourself for the physical
    repercussions it'll have on your body.
[11:09] ---
    Oh yeah! I'm such an idiot!
[11:13] ---
    A mere ten months was
    just barely enough time.
[11:18] ---
    I can just barely hold this borrowed power.
[11:22] ---
    I was being conceited for a second!
[11:26] ---
    I've only been given the
    right to stand at the start line!
[11:36] ---
    Think! What to do? What to do?
[11:40] ---
    Detroit Smash!
[11:42] ---
    If I aim that move at the ground...!
[11:44] ---
    Both my legs and my right arm are broken.
[11:47] ---
    I only have my left arm!
[11:48] ---
    And the timing--
[11:50] ---
    If I'm too early or too late, I'll die!
[11:52] ---
    Even if I succeed, I
    still won't have any points!
[11:56] ---
    If I break my left arm,
    there's no way I'll pass!
[12:17] ---
    Release...
[12:30] ---
    I'm safe...
[12:32] ---
    No, she saved me...
[12:36] ---
    Is she all right?
    She looks uninjured, at least...?
[12:42] ---
    I'm so glad...
[12:45] ---
    And...
[12:47] ---
    ...thank you!
[12:50] ---
    If I can just get one point...
[12:53] ---
    Time's up!
[13:21] ---
    What was that guy?
[13:23] ---
    He suddenly jumped at the obstacle.
[13:26] ---
    He seemed to have a reinforcement-type
    Quirk, but that was unusual...
[13:31] ---
    But if he had such an amazing Quirk,
[13:34] ---
    what kind of life did he
    live that made him so jumpy?
[13:38] ---
    Maybe he was acting to trick others?
[13:40] ---
    But it doesn't look like
    he gained anything from doing so.
[13:45] ---
    Anyway, there's no mistaking
    that he's an amazing guy.
[13:49] ---
    They're missing the point.
[13:51] ---
    Didn't they see?
[13:55] ---
    He jumped out to save that girl.
[13:59] ---
    He was aware of the
    remaining time, his own safety,
[14:03] ---
    and the points he needed to pass...
[14:06] ---
    And even so, he did not hesitate at all!
[14:16] ---
    If we had not been in an exam...
[14:20] ---
    ...of course, I would have done the same!
[14:25] ---
    Wait. "Exam"...? "Of course"...?
[14:29] ---
    Wait a minute.
[14:31] ---
    Okay, good work.
[14:35] ---
    Good work, good work.
[14:38] ---
    Here you go. Here are some gummies.
[14:39] ---
    Eat some gummies.
[14:41] ---
    Thanks.
[14:43] ---
    Yes, yes, you, too.
[14:46] ---
    Thanks...
[14:48] ---
    That mademoiselle is the backbone of U.A.
[14:53] ---
    Oh dear, you were hurt
    this much by your own Quirk?
[14:59] ---
    It's as if his body is
    not used to his Quirk yet.
[15:07] ---
    Kiss...!
[15:09] ---
    "Old lady!"
[15:11] ---
    Wh-What was that?
[15:13] ---
    U.A. High's licensed school nurse...
[15:17] ---
    ...the Youthful Heroine, Recovery Girl!
[15:22] ---
    Her Quirk is the
    super-activation of healing ability.
[15:26] ---
    U.A. can only go through with such
    a reckless entrance exam because of her.
[15:34] ---
    Let's finish this quickly.
    Is anyone else injured?
[15:38] ---
    I see! If this exam is set up like that...
[15:46] ---
    Then he's...
[15:52] ---
    "One week later"
[16:00] ---
    Izuku...?
[16:03] ---
    Izuku? Izuku?
[16:08] ---
    Hey, are you all right?
[16:09] ---
    Why are you smiling at the fish?
[16:11] ---
    Oh, sorry! I'm fine!
[16:19] ---
    From self-scoring, I know that
    I just barely passed the written exam.
[16:25] ---
    But that was cancelled out by
    the big fat zero in the practical exam.
[16:31] ---
    And ever since the entrance exam,
    I hadn't been able to contact All Might.
[16:36] ---
    "Neighborhood Circular"
[16:39] ---
    The results should arrive
    today or tomorrow, right?
[16:43] ---
    Yeah...
[16:44] ---
    Jeez, I think it's amazing
    that you even applied to U.A.!
[16:49] ---
    Yeah...
[16:51] ---
    "Neighborhood Circular"
[16:53] ---
    I didn't even tell my mother about
    what had happened with All Might.
[16:58] ---
    I kept that secret so he could
    continue being the Symbol of Peace.
[17:04] ---
    There was no way I could
    tell anyone, not even my family.
[17:15] ---
    All Might! After you saw potential
    in me, I'm sorry I didn't live up to it!
[17:20] ---
    But I did what I thought was right.
[17:24] ---
    All Might, you...
[17:30] ---
    Izu-Izu-Izu...! Izu-Izu-Izu... Izuku!
[17:34] ---
    It's here! It came!
[17:36] ---
    "U.A. High School"
[17:36] ---
    It's here!
[18:02] ---
    I am here as a projection!
[18:05] ---
    All Might?!
[18:07] ---
    Wait, this is from U.A., right...?
[18:09] ---
    What?
[18:11] ---
    I had to do some paperwork that took
    some time, so I couldn't contact you.
[18:16] ---
    I'm sorry.
[18:19] ---
    Actually, I came to this town to work at U.A.
[18:27] ---
    All Might is working at U.A.?
[18:31] ---
    Hm? What is it?
[18:33] ---
    Wrap it up?
[18:34] ---
    But there is something
    I must talk to him about...
[18:38] ---
    It's going to push everything else back?
[18:40] ---
    All right. Okay.
[18:46] ---
    Even if you passed the written exam,
    you got zero points on the practical exam.
[18:50] ---
    Of course, that means you didn't pass...
[18:54] ---
    I knew that.
[18:56] ---
    I knew that...
[18:58] ---
    I knew that, but...
[19:03] ---
    ...it's so frustrating...
[19:06] ---
    ...if that was all there was to it.
[19:11] ---
    I am an entertainer, as well!
[19:14] ---
    First, take a look at this video!
[19:18] ---
    Excuse me, um...
[19:23] ---
    The nice person?
[19:24] ---
    She came to negotiate directly
    in person after the exam!
[19:29] ---
    Negotiate what?
[19:31] ---
    Keep watching to find out!
[19:33] ---
    Um, the person with curly
    hair and freckles...
[19:39] ---
    Do you know who I'm talking about?
[19:40] ---
    Um... kind of plain-looking...
[19:43] ---
    It's me!
[19:44] ---
    Is it possible for me
    to give him some of my points?
[19:50] ---
    I heard him say, "If I
    can just get one point,"
[19:55] ---
    so I thought maybe
    he was still at zero points...
[19:59] ---
    What the hell can you do?
[20:02] ---
    At least the points he lost because of me...
[20:05] ---
    There was absolutely no reason
    for you to put yourself in danger!
[20:09] ---
    He saved me!
[20:13] ---
    Please! Please! Please!
[20:19] ---
    In addition to now having a Quirk,
[20:21] ---
    your actions spurred others to act.
[20:28] ---
    The entrance exam the other day
    was not graded only on villain points!
[20:35] ---
    Even if you ask to,
    you cannot give him your points.
[20:38] ---
    Anyway, there's no reason
    to give him any, female listener!
[20:44] ---
    How can a hero course reject people
    who save others and do the right thing?
[20:51] ---
    Call that lip service?
[20:54] ---
    Bring it on!
[20:55] ---
    This is a job that requires risking one's life
    to put that lip service into practice!
[21:01] ---
    Rescue points!
[21:04] ---
    And they're given by a panel of judges.
[21:06] ---
    It's the other basic ability
    we at U.A. look at!
[21:12] ---
    Izuku Midoriya, sixty points!
[21:16] ---
    And Ochaco Uraraka, forty-five points!
[21:22] ---
    You both pass.
[21:27] ---
    This is too crazy...
[21:32] ---
    Come, Young Midoriya.
[21:39] ---
    This is your hero academia!
[21:47] ---
    Yes, sir!
[21:51] ---
    After receiving a lot of help,
[21:54] ---
    my life changed and will continue to change.
[21:58] ---
    And now, my dream
    high school life is about to begin!
[23:53] ---
    Izuku...!
SIGN    "Food Menu"
[24:00] ---
    "Next time"
[24:02] ---
    Welcome, Young Midoriya!
[24:04] ---
    This is U.A. High, your hero academia!
[24:07] ---
    All Might, I'll do my best on the
    Quirk assessment test on the first day!
[24:11] ---
    Your homeroom teacher, Aizawa, shows
    no mercy and expels people if they do badly,
[24:15] ---
    so be careful!
[24:16] ---
    What?!
[24:18] ---
    Next time, "What I Can Do for Now"!
[24:21] ---
    Oh no, Young Midoriya's index finger is...!
[24:24] ---
    Go beyond!
[24:26] ---
    "Next time: What I Can Do for Now"
[24:26] ---
    Plus Ultra!
