**[00:01] ---**
The cumulative results
for the practical exam are out!
**[00:04] ---**
I can't believe he got
first place with no rescue points.
**[00:08] ---**
The faux villains acquire
their targets and draw near them.
**[00:11] ---**
In the second half,
as others were slowing down,
**[00:13] ---**
he used his flashy Quirk to keep bringing
them close and then counterattacking.
**[00:16] ---**
It's the result of his toughness.
**[00:20] ---**
In contrast, there's the 7th place
student with zero villain points.
**[00:23] ---**
There have been other examinees
who took on the large villain in the past,
**[00:27] ---**
but it's been a while since
I last saw someone blow it away.
**[00:31] ---**
But to suffer such a serious
injury from his own attack...
**[00:34] ---**
It's like he's a young child
whose Quirk just manifested.
**[02:13] ---**
The night after I opened
my acceptance letter,
**[02:17] ---**
*that* person contacted me.
**[02:22] ---**
All Might!
**[02:24] ---**
Who's that?!
**[02:25] ---**
All Might?
**[02:25] ---**
No way! Where?
**[02:28] ---**
Repeat after me. "I had the wrong person."
**[02:30] ---**
Oh, I had the wrong person!
**[02:33] ---**
Aw, what?
**[02:34] ---**
I was hoping to see him...
**[02:39] ---**
Congrats on getting accepted.
**[02:41] ---**
Th-Th-Thank you very much!
**[02:44] ---**
Just so you know, I didn't tell
the school about my connection to you.
**[02:49] ---**
You're the type that would
think that's cheating, right?
**[02:53] ---**
I wasn't one of the judges.
**[02:55] ---**
Th-Thank you for your concern!
**[02:59] ---**
But I was surprised to find out
that you were a teacher at U.A.
**[03:03] ---**
So that's why you came here, huh?
**[03:05] ---**
I mean, your agency is in
Roppongi in Minato, Tokyo at--
**[03:08] ---**
Stop that!
**[03:11] ---**
I couldn't tell anyone
before the school announced it.
**[03:16] ---**
I just happened to be offered a job from
U.A. when I was searching for a successor.
**[03:21] ---**
I have been looking for a successor.
**[03:25] ---**
I see. He was originally planning
on choosing one of the students.
**[03:30] ---**
One of the students gifted
with an amazing Quirk.
**[03:36] ---**
My body broke with one kick
and one punch of One For All.
**[03:41] ---**
I can't control it at all.
**[03:44] ---**
That can't be helped.
**[03:46] ---**
It's like if you asked a person
who suddenly grew a tail to do a trick,
**[03:50] ---**
they wouldn't even be able to control it.
**[03:54] ---**
Wait, did you know that would happen?!
**[03:57] ---**
Well, there wasn't any time...
**[04:00] ---**
But it turned out all right.
It turned out "all might"!
**[04:05] ---**
Right now, you're either
at a hundred percent or zero.
**[04:08] ---**
But once you can control it,
**[04:10] ---**
you'll be able to you'll be able
to adjust to what your body can handle.
**[04:15] ---**
Control?!
**[04:16] ---**
The more you train a vessel,
**[04:19] ---**
the more you'll be able
to move the power freely.
**[04:23] ---**
Like this.
**[04:27] ---**
Wait, is that All Might?!
**[04:29] ---**
No way! When did he get here?!
**[04:31] ---**
Let's go, Young Midoriya!
**[04:32] ---**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[04:37] ---**
The flame I passed on to you is still small,
**[04:41] ---**
but in the future, it'll be exposed
to wind and rain and grow even bigger.
**[04:46] ---**
And then, I will slowly become weak
and disappear, and I will finish my job.
**[04:54] ---**
Yeah, that's deep.
**[04:56] ---**
"Episode 5: What I Can Do for Now"
**[05:01] ---**
"April"
**[05:03] ---**
Izuku, do you have tissue?
**[05:04] ---**
Yeah.
**[05:05] ---**
And your handkerchief?
What about your handkerchief? Your hanky?
**[05:08] ---**
I have it! I'm going to be late.
**[05:10] ---**
I have to hurry.
**[05:11] ---**
Izuku!
**[05:12] ---**
What is it?!
**[05:16] ---**
You're really cool.
**[05:20] ---**
That was the beginning
of my high school career.
**[05:26] ---**
I'm off!
**[05:30] ---**
The acceptance rate for
U.A. High's hero course
**[05:33] ---**
is less than one in three hundred every year.
**[05:36] ---**
Other than the four people
admitted through recommendations,
**[05:38] ---**
36 are admitted through the regular exam.
**[05:41] ---**
Those 36 are split into only
two classes, with 18 in each.
**[05:44] ---**
Class 1-A... 1-A... This place's too big...
**[05:49] ---**
There it is!
**[05:52] ---**
The door's huge!
**[05:53] ---**
Is it for accessibility...?
**[05:56] ---**
The elite chosen from
the huge number at the exam...
**[06:03] ---**
I hope I'm not in the
same class as the scary peopl--
**[06:07] ---**
Don't put your feet on the desk!
**[06:09] ---**
Huh?
**[06:10] ---**
Don't you think that's rude
to the U.A. upperclassmen
**[06:13] ---**
and the people who made the desk?
**[06:15] ---**
Nope. What junior high did
you go to, you side character?
**[06:19] ---**
The top two?
**[06:22] ---**
I attended Somei Private Academy.
My name is Tenya Iida.
**[06:26] ---**
Somei? So you're a damn elite, huh?
**[06:29] ---**
Looks like I'll have fun crushing you.
**[06:31] ---**
"Crushing"?
**[06:33] ---**
That's cruel. Do you truly aim to be a hero?
**[06:39] ---**
You're...
**[06:42] ---**
Oh, um...
**[06:44] ---**
Good morning!
**[06:45] ---**
I am from Somei Private Academy. My name is--
**[06:47] ---**
I heard!
**[06:49] ---**
I'm Midoriya. Nice to meet you, Iida.
**[06:54] ---**
Midoriya, you realized there was something
more to that practical exam, didn't you?
**[07:00] ---**
I had no idea...
**[07:02] ---**
I misjudged you!
**[07:04] ---**
I hate to admit it, but
you are better than me.
**[07:08] ---**
Sorry. I actually didn't realize anything.
**[07:10] ---**
Oh, that curly hair!
You're the plain-looking one!
**[07:14] ---**
--You passed, just like Present Mic said!
**[07:15] ---**
--It's the nice person!
**[07:16] ---**
--She looks good in a uniform...
**[07:18] ---**
--Of course you did! Your punch was amazing!
**[07:21] ---**
--Oh, well, um, it was thanks to you going
to speak with him directly that I, uh...
**[07:21] ---**
--Break! Break! Bre--
**[07:25] ---**
Huh? How did you know about that?
**[07:27] ---**
Oh, uh, that's because...
**[07:30] ---**
I can't believe we have *two* students
from our school matriculating into U.A.!
**[07:34] ---**
Especially you, Midoriya. It's a miracle!
**[07:41] ---**
What dirty tricks did
you use to get in, huh?!
**[07:45] ---**
"The first student from
his school to go to U.A."
**[07:48] ---**
My future plan has already
been torn to pieces.
**[07:51] ---**
I told you to go somewhere else!
**[07:56] ---**
Kacchan.
**[07:58] ---**
Someone told me...
**[08:01] ---**
"You can become a hero"...
**[08:04] ---**
That it was because of my own effort...
**[08:06] ---**
Th-That's why...
**[08:09] ---**
I'm going...!
**[08:13] ---**
How dare he defy me?
**[08:16] ---**
Something's *definitely* up.
**[08:18] ---**
I wonder if today's just the
entrance ceremony and orientation?
**[08:21] ---**
I wonder what our teacher's like?
**[08:23] ---**
--Aren't you nervous?
**[08:23] ---**
--S-So close!
**[08:24] ---**
Go somewhere else if you
want to play at being friends.
**[08:33] ---**
This is the hero course.
**[08:38] ---**
S-Something's here?!
**[08:42] ---**
Okay, it took eight seconds
before you were quiet.
**[08:46] ---**
Time is limited.
You kids are not rational enough.
**[08:50] ---**
A teacher?
**[08:52] ---**
Which means, that person's a pro hero, too?
**[08:55] ---**
But I've never seen a hero
who looked that worn out before.
**[08:59] ---**
I'm your homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa.
**[09:02] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[09:03] ---**
Homeroom teacher?!
**[09:06] ---**
It's kind of sudden, but put
this on and go out onto the field.
***SIGN*** "Teacher Directory"
**[09:12] ---**
The U.A. system does not
follow the beaten path.
**[09:18] ---**
Depending on the homeroom teacher,
even the first day can be...
**[09:22] ---**
A Quirk assessment test?!
**[09:24] ---**
What about the entrance ceremony?
The orientation?
**[09:27] ---**
If you're going to become a hero,
you don't have time for such leisurely events.
**[09:33] ---**
U.A.'s selling point is how
unrestricted its school traditions are.
**[09:37] ---**
That's also how the teachers
run their classes.
**[09:41] ---**
You kids have been doing
these since junior high, too, right?
**[09:45] ---**
Physical fitness tests where you
weren't allowed to use your Quirks.
**[09:49] ---**
The country still uses averages taken from
results from students not using their Quirks.
**[09:54] ---**
It's not rational.
**[09:56] ---**
Well, the Ministry of
Education is procrastinating.
**[09:59] ---**
Bakugo, you finished at the
top of the practical exam, right?
**[10:04] ---**
In junior high, what was your
best result for the softball throw?
**[10:08] ---**
67 meters.
**[10:10] ---**
Then, try doing it with your Quirk.
**[10:14] ---**
You can do whatever you want
as long as you stay in the circle.
**[10:16] ---**
Hurry up. Give it all you've got.
**[10:20] ---**
Then, well...
**[10:23] ---**
I'll add a blast to the pitch.
**[10:27] ---**
Die...!
**[10:33] ---**
Die?
**[10:34] ---**
Know your own maximum first.
**[10:41] ---**
That is the most rational way
to form the foundation of a hero.
**[10:46] ---**
750 meters? Seriously?
**[10:49] ---**
What's this? It looks fun!
**[10:51] ---**
We can use our Quirks as much as we want!
As expected from the hero course!
**[10:56] ---**
"It looks fun," huh?
**[10:59] ---**
You have three years to become a hero.
**[11:01] ---**
Will you have an attitude
like that the whole time?
**[11:06] ---**
All right. Whoever comes
in last place in all eight tests
**[11:10] ---**
will be judged to have no potential
and will be punished with expulsion.
**[11:14] ---**
Huh?!
**[11:17] ---**
Aizawa, huh?
**[11:19] ---**
"Name: Shota Aizawa -
Erasure Hero: Eraser Head"
**[11:19] ---**
He'll be facing a lot of
suffering from the start.
**[11:25] ---**
Punished with expulsion?!
**[11:27] ---**
Oh no... This is bad... In all eight tests?
**[11:31] ---**
I can only use One For All at
either a hundred or zero percent.
**[11:35] ---**
I can't control it yet...
**[11:38] ---**
We're free to do what we want
about the circumstances of our students.
**[11:43] ---**
Welcome to U.A.'s hero course!
**[11:48] ---**
A huge test on the first day of school?
**[11:51] ---**
What am I going to do?!
**[12:04] ---**
Last place will be expelled?
**[12:06] ---**
But it's the first day of school!
**[12:08] ---**
No, even if it wasn't the
first day of school, this is too unfair!
**[12:10] ---**
Natural disasters, big accidents,
**[12:14] ---**
and selfish villains.
**[12:16] ---**
Calamities whose time
or place can't be predicted.
**[12:19] ---**
Japan is covered with unfairness.
**[12:23] ---**
Heroes are the ones
who reverse those situations.
**[12:26] ---**
If you wanted to go talk with your friends
at Mickey D's after school, too bad.
**[12:30] ---**
For the next three years, U.A. will do all it
can to give you one hardship after another.
**[12:35] ---**
Go beyond. Plus Ultra.
**[12:41] ---**
Overcome it with all you've got.
**[12:46] ---**
This is too serious to be hazing.
**[12:48] ---**
However, this is the best of the best.
There is no choice but to do it.
**[12:52] ---**
This isn't all I've got.
**[12:55] ---**
All right, demonstration's over.
**[12:58] ---**
The real thing starts now.
**[13:01] ---**
"Test 1: 50-meter dash"
**[13:04] ---**
On your mark...
**[13:05] ---**
Get set...
**[13:11] ---**
3.04 seconds.
**[13:15] ---**
For 50 meters, I can only
go up to third gear...
**[13:18] ---**
"Tenya Iida"
**[13:19] ---**
Tenya Iida. Quirk: Engine.
**[13:22] ---**
As you can see, his legs are fast.
**[13:24] ---**
Well, he's like a fish in water.
**[13:27] ---**
It'll be worth seeing what others do.
**[13:29] ---**
"Tsuyu Asui: 5.58 seconds"
**[13:31] ---**
Ribbit.
**[13:32] ---**
Lighten up my clothes and shoes...
**[13:36] ---**
"Ochaco Uraraka"
**[13:37] ---**
Ochaco Uraraka. Quirk: Zero Gravity!
**[13:41] ---**
Get set...
**[13:43] ---**
She can nullify the gravitational
pull of any object she touches.
**[13:47] ---**
However, if she goes over capacity,
she'll get really nauseous.
**[13:51] ---**
5.49 seconds.
**[13:53] ---**
7.15 seconds.
**[13:56] ---**
Oh, but that's faster than
I was in junior high!
**[14:00] ---**
Everyone, you're not being creative enough.
**[14:02] ---**
--On your mark...
**[14:03] ---**
--I'll show you what it's like...
**[14:04] ---**
--Get set...
**[14:06] ---**
...to be allowed to use your Quirk!
**[14:08] ---**
"Yuga Aoyama"
**[14:09] ---**
Yuga Aogama. Quirk: Navel Laser!
**[14:13] ---**
He can shoot a laser from his bellybutton.
**[14:17] ---**
He's limited by the amount
of time he can shoot continuously.
**[14:20] ---**
5.51 seconds.
**[14:23] ---**
If I shoot for more than a second,
I get a stomachache.
**[14:27] ---**
What the heck?
**[14:29] ---**
Looking at the upper limit of your Quirks
and the room for growth in each result,
**[14:33] ---**
it becomes clear what you can and can't do.
**[14:38] ---**
On your mark...
**[14:40] ---**
Get set...
**[14:41] ---**
That will connect to the
creativity needed for you to survive.
**[14:45] ---**
Explosive speed!
**[14:49] ---**
4.13 seconds.
**[14:51] ---**
"Katsuki Bakugo"
**[14:52] ---**
Katsuki Bakugo. Quirk: Explosion!
**[14:56] ---**
7.02 seconds.
**[14:58] ---**
When I use both hands, the force disperses...
**[15:03] ---**
Deku is...
**[15:05] ---**
There are seven more tests.
**[15:07] ---**
I'm sure everyone will use their Quirks
to produce some extraordinary results.
**[15:13] ---**
On the other hand, I have this power
that will break my body if I use it once.
**[15:18] ---**
Control... Control...
**[15:20] ---**
Even if I have the image in my head,
when I have to actually use it...
**[15:25] ---**
The trick to controlling it is...
**[15:30] ---**
...feeling!
**[15:31] ---**
Wow, that's All Might for you!
**[15:34] ---**
You've already pulled out the 100%.
**[15:37] ---**
It destroyed me, though.
**[15:38] ---**
But now that you have, it'll be easy.
**[15:40] ---**
You should've already grasped the feeling.
**[15:42] ---**
What was it like?
**[15:45] ---**
It was like a "bzzt" or a "whoosh"... Um...
**[15:49] ---**
I know! Like an egg put into a microwave!
**[15:55] ---**
That's boring, but unique!
**[15:57] ---**
If that's the image you have,
**[15:59] ---**
then lower the wattage,
**[16:00] ---**
or shorten the cook time.
**[16:02] ---**
Anything's fine, just focus on
the image of the egg not exploding.
**[16:08] ---**
The image...?
**[16:09] ---**
You have three weeks until school starts.
**[16:12] ---**
Keep focusing on that image.
**[16:15] ---**
It won't happen overnight,
**[16:17] ---**
but I'm sure you will be
able to do it someday.
**[16:26] ---**
"Test 2: Grip strength"
**[16:29] ---**
The image of the egg not exploding...
**[16:40] ---**
Wow!
**[16:41] ---**
540 kilograms? What are you, a gorilla?
**[16:44] ---**
Oh, an octopus?
**[16:46] ---**
Octopuses are sexy.
**[16:50] ---**
"Test 3: Standing long jump"
**[17:01] ---**
Control...
**[17:02] ---**
"Test 4: Repeated side steps"
**[17:08] ---**
"Test 5: Ball throw"
**[17:21] ---**
Infinity?!
**[17:22] ---**
That's amazing! She got "infinity"!
**[17:26] ---**
This is bad. It's not something
simple that I can just do right away.
**[17:30] ---**
Everyone's leaving at
least one amazing result...
**[17:34] ---**
All that's left is this,
the long-distance run, sit-ups,
**[17:37] ---**
and the seated toe-touch.
**[17:39] ---**
It's now or never.
**[17:41] ---**
At this rate, I'll be last.
**[17:45] ---**
It doesn't look good for
Midoriya if he continues like this.
**[17:48] ---**
Huh? Of course not.
He's a Quirkless small fry, you know.
**[17:52] ---**
Quirkless?! Are you not aware
of what he did in the entrance exam?
**[17:55] ---**
Huh?
**[17:57] ---**
It's about time, huh?
**[18:02] ---**
Izuku! You're really cool.
**[18:05] ---**
You can become a hero.
**[18:14] ---**
I'll definitely become one!
**[18:21] ---**
46 meters.
**[18:25] ---**
I was definitely trying to use it just now...
**[18:29] ---**
I erased your Quirk.
**[18:34] ---**
That entrance exam was
definitely not rational enough.
**[18:38] ---**
Even a kid like you was accepted.
**[18:43] ---**
You erased my Quirk?
**[18:45] ---**
Those goggles... I see!
**[18:49] ---**
You can erase other people's Quirks
with your Quirk just by looking at them.
**[18:53] ---**
The Erasure Hero: Eraser Head!
**[18:57] ---**
Eraser? I don't know him.
**[19:00] ---**
I've heard of him. He's an underground hero.
**[19:03] ---**
He doesn't like media attention
because he says it hinders his work.
**[19:09] ---**
That's right, Young Midoriya.
He and I don't get along.
**[19:15] ---**
From what I can tell,
you can't control your Quirk, can you?
**[19:19] ---**
Do you intend to become incapacitated
again and have someone save you?
**[19:24] ---**
Th-That's not my intention--
**[19:27] ---**
Whatever your intention,
**[19:29] ---**
I'm saying that's what those
around you will be forced to do.
**[19:34] ---**
In the past, there was an
oppressively passionate hero
**[19:37] ---**
who saved over a thousand people
by himself and created a legend.
**[19:42] ---**
Even if you have the same reckless valor,
**[19:44] ---**
you'll just be decked and turn into
a useless doll after saving one person.
**[19:48] ---**
Izuku Midoriya. With your power,
you can't become a hero.
**[20:03] ---**
I've returned your Quirk.
**[20:05] ---**
You have two turns for the ball throw.
**[20:07] ---**
Hurry up and get it over with.
**[20:14] ---**
--It looks like he received some advice.
**[20:15] ---**
--Are you worried about him?
**[20:16] ---**
--Probably just telling him he's expelled.
**[20:17] ---**
I'm...
**[20:18] ---**
...not at all.
**[20:20] ---**
Who are you?
**[20:21] ---**
What should I do? Which should I choose?
**[20:24] ---**
Will he incorrigibly prepare for
an honorable defeat here
**[20:27] ---**
by using all his strength,
**[20:29] ---**
or become intimidated
and settle into last place?
**[20:32] ---**
No matter which he chooses,
he has no potential.
**[20:36] ---**
I still can't control my power.
**[20:39] ---**
Should I let everything
I can do hang on this one throw?
**[20:42] ---**
Even All Might said that
it wouldn't happen overnight.
**[20:47] ---**
This is no good! If that's my only choice,
then I just have to go all out!
**[20:51] ---**
Zero potential.
**[20:57] ---**
It's just as Mr. Aizawa says.
**[21:02] ---**
At this rate, there's no
way I'll become a hero.
**[21:07] ---**
Hey, hey, is he serious?
**[21:10] ---**
I have to work a lot
harder than other people!
**[21:16] ---**
That's why, with all my strength...
**[21:18] ---**
I'll do what I can right now!
**[21:23] ---**
Smash...!
**[21:30] ---**
It doesn't hurt as much as before...
**[21:34] ---**
Do you intend to become incapacitated
again and have someone save you?
**[21:45] ---**
Mr. Aizawa...
**[21:52] ---**
I can still move!
**[21:56] ---**
This kid...
**[21:59] ---**
I came because I was worried,
but what the heck, young man?!
**[22:03] ---**
You still couldn't control your power,
but you also couldn't become incapacitated.
**[22:07] ---**
So, you propelled the ball
at the last point of contact
**[22:11] ---**
by sending the power of
One For All to just your fingertip,
**[22:16] ---**
minimizing the injury
while maximizing the power...!
**[22:21] ---**
What the heck, young man?!
**[22:25] ---**
You're so cool!
**[24:00] ---**
"Next time"
**[24:02] ---**
Hero Basic Training, a class only
available in the hero course at U.A.!
**[24:05] ---**
Deku, let's do our
best together in battle training.
**[24:08] ---**
Uraraka...?! I talked to a girl again!
**[24:13] ---**
Looks like we're up against
Team Iida and Bakugo.
**[24:17] ---**
I'm going to fight against Kacchan!
**[24:20] ---**
Next time, "Rage, You Damn Nerd"!
**[24:22] ---**
Deku's going to put bunny ears
on his head! It's so cute!
**[24:26] ---**
Go beyond!
