[00:01] ---
    The prestigious school that turned
    out many heroes, U.A. High School.
[00:04] ---
    Enrolled in their hero course,
    I continue to run toward my dream,
[00:09] ---
    standing up to any difficulties
    and saving people with a smile...
[00:14] ---
    ...in order to become the greatest hero!
[01:50] ---
    "Izuku Midoriya - Quirk: One For All"
[01:52] ---
    Young Midoriya, I...
[01:55] ---
    "Pro Hero - All Might - Quirk: One For All"
[01:55] ---
    ...am effectively retired.
[01:58] ---
    My body cannot fight anymore.
[02:03] ---
    The last embers of One For All have gone out,
[02:06] ---
    and I can't really keep
    my muscle form anymore.
[02:11] ---
    But even so, every single time,
    you rush out no matter what I tell you!
[02:16] ---
    No matter how many times I tell you,
    you keep destroying your body!
[02:19] ---
    That's why, this time...!
[02:23] ---
    ...when you got out of a predicament
    for the first time without getting injured,
[02:27] ---
    I was so happy.
[02:31] ---
    From here on out,
    I will devote myself to raising you.
[02:35] ---
    Let's keep... working hard together.
[02:39] ---
    All... All Might, I...
[02:45] ---
    All Might...!
[02:48] ---
    Huh...? This...
[02:51] ---
    Oh yeah, I'm not at home...
[02:54] ---
    "Tenya Iida - Quirk: Engine"
[02:57] ---
    Morning.
[03:01] ---
    After being attacked twice
    by the League of Villains,
[03:04] ---
    U.A. High School thought to protect its
    students by switching to an all-dorm system.
[03:10] ---
    A five-minute walk from U.A. school grounds,
[03:12] ---
    on the third day after moving into
    the student dorm, Heights Alliance,
[03:16] ---
    our new lives begin as we devote
    our days to becoming heroes.
[03:24] ---
    I will definitely become one.
[03:26] ---
    Since I inherited from All Might...
[03:30] ---
    ...his will and One For All!
[03:34] ---
    "Create Those Ultimate Moves"
[03:39] ---
    I believe I mentioned
    this yesterday, but for now,
[03:40] ---
    Class 1-A of the hero course will be focusing
    on getting their provisional licenses.
[03:45] ---
    Yes, sir!
[03:46] ---
    "Pro Hero - Shota Aizawa - Quirk: Erasure"
[03:47] ---
    A hero license bears with it the
    great responsibility of human life.
[03:53] ---
    Of course, the exam
    to receive one is very difficult.
[03:56] ---
    "Ochaco Uraraka - Quirk: Zero Gravity"
[03:56] ---
    Even the provisional license has
    only a 50% passing rate each year.
[04:00] ---
    "Minoru Mineta - Quirk: Pop Off"
[04:01] ---
    Just the provisional license is that hard?
[04:04] ---
    That's why today, we will have
    each of you come up with at least two...
[04:11] ---
    ...ultimate moves.
SIGN    "Pro Hero - Cementoss - Quirk: Cement" "Pro Hero - Midnight - Quirk: Somnambulist" "Pro Hero - Ectoplasm - Quirk: Clones"
[04:12] ---
    Ultimate moves?!
[04:14] ---
    It's like a real school thing and yet--
[04:16] ---
    It's like a super normal hero thing!
[04:21] ---
    "Ultimate"! This means that
    this move will give you a sure win!
[04:25] ---
    A move so ingrained into
    your body that others cannot copy it.
[04:30] ---
    Battle means seeing how much you can
    force what you're good at on your opponent.
[04:34] ---
    Your moves will represent you.
[04:36] ---
    These days, pro heroes without
    ultimate moves are an endangered species.
[04:41] ---
    We will tell you more as we go along.
    We want to proceed logically.
[04:45] ---
    "Katsuki Bakugo - Quirk: Explosion"
[04:45] ---
    Change into your costumes
    and meet in Gym Gamma.
[04:51] ---
    "Gym Gamma"
[04:53] ---
    Gym Gamma, also known as the
    "Training Dining Land," or TDL.
[04:59] ---
    "Training Dining Land"
[05:01] ---
    TDL might make a certain mouse mad at us...!
[05:05] ---
    I came up with the idea for these facilities.
[05:07] ---
    Terrain and other things can be
    prepared specifically for each student.
[05:11] ---
    That's what the "dining" part refers to.
[05:13] ---
    I see...
[05:15] ---
    Please allow me to ask a question!
[05:17] ---
    Why must we have ultimate moves
    for our provisional licensing exam?
[05:20] ---
    Please tell me your reasoning!
[05:21] ---
    I'll tell you everything in order.
[05:23] ---
    Calm down.
[05:26] ---
    The job of a hero is to save people
    from danger, like crimes, accidents,
[05:30] ---
    natural disasters, and man-made disasters.
[05:34] ---
    The exam to become one naturally looks
    at how well you are able to do that.
[05:37] ---
    "Mashirao Ojiro - Quirk: Tail"
    "Mezo Shoji - Quirk: Dupli-Arms"
[05:38] ---
    Your ability to gather information,
    make decisions, move, and fight,
[05:42] ---
    "Tsuyu Asui - Quirk: Frog"
[05:42] ---
    in addition to your ability to communicate,
    draw people to you, and lead--
[05:46] ---
    "Shoto Todoroki - Quirk: Half-Cold, Half-Hot"
[05:47] ---
    Every year, a different test is used to look
    at how well you are able to do those things.
[05:51] ---
    Of those, your ability to fight is especially
    important to your futures as heroes.
[05:57] ---
    If you are prepared, you won't have to worry.
[05:59] ---
    Whether or not you have an ultimate move
    will greatly affect whether or not you pass.
[06:02] ---
    Not being influenced by circumstances
    and being able to act consistently
[06:07] ---
    will make you a great
    asset on the front lines.
[06:11] ---
    Your ultimate moves do not necessarily
    need to be of the attacking type.
[06:14] ---
    For example, Iida's Reciproburst--
[06:17] ---
    The temporary burst of speed is enough of
    a threat to be worth calling an ultimate move.
[06:24] ---
    "Rikido Sato - Quirk: Sugar Rush"
[06:25] ---
    So that's good enough
    to be called an ultimate move?
[06:27] ---
    I see... So we need to find
    something that allows us to feel like
[06:30] ---
    "As long as I do this,
    I have the advantage. I can win."
[06:33] ---
    Exactly!
[06:35] ---
    Kamui Woods, who played a
    big part in the fight the other day,
[06:37] ---
    has a move called Lacquered Chain Prison
    that is the perfect example of an ultimate move.
[06:40] ---
    It restrains his opponents
    before they can do anything.
[06:43] ---
    The training camp was cancelled,
    but the training you did to develop your Quirks
[06:48] ---
    was part of the process
    to create your ultimate moves.
[06:52] ---
    In other words,
[06:54] ---
    until the beginning of the next semester,
[06:55] ---
    for the ten days or so
    until the end of summer vacation,
[06:57] ---
    you'll be working out your ultimate
    moves as you develop your Quirks.
[07:02] ---
    You'll be doing intensive training!
[07:04] ---
    "Eijiro Kirishima - Quirk: Hardening"
[07:05] ---
    In addition, you should think about
    how you can improve your costumes
[07:08] ---
    to work better with your developing Quirks.
[07:12] ---
    Get through this with a
    "Plus Ultra" mentality.
[07:16] ---
    Are you ready?
[07:17] ---
    Yes, sir!
[07:18] ---
    I'm getting excited!
[07:22] ---
    What should I do?
[07:34] ---
    Your movements say
    "I move like this because I have a tail."
[07:37] ---
    Let's reexamine the
    fundamentals of how you move.
[07:39] ---
    Yes, sir!
[07:41] ---
    In other words, I'm too normal, huh?
[07:44] ---
    "Mina Ashido - Quirk: Acid"
[07:44] ---
    Ultimate move--
[07:46] ---
    Shooting acid from my hands like this!
[07:50] ---
    How is it?
[07:51] ---
    If you're going to take that route, then make
    a nozzle with your fingers and squeeze it out.
[07:57] ---
    That's it.
[07:59] ---
    Wow, I can shoot further now!
[08:01] ---
    Shall we have you focus
    your acid to develop it further?
[08:05] ---
    Create two things at the same time.
[08:07] ---
    You can start with something simple.
[08:09] ---
    "Momo Yaoyorozu - Quirk: Creation"
[08:09] ---
    Yes, sir!
[08:16] ---
    Everyone's moving forward.
[08:19] ---
    What are you staring off into space for?
[08:20] ---
    Oh, um--
[08:22] ---
    About the ultimate moves...
[08:24] ---
    My arms are like ticking time bombs now,
    and I can't really use them too much...
[08:29] ---
    Honestly, I can't really visualize how
    an ultimate move would work in my case...
[08:34] ---
    Hmm... It's true that your Quirk is the furthest
    from being able to be called consistent.
[08:40] ---
    If you still don't have a fixed style yet,
[08:42] ---
    then today, focus on developing your Quirk.
[08:45] ---
    Yes, sir...
[08:50] ---
    Everyone's working hard, huh?
[08:53] ---
    All Might...
[08:54] ---
    I am...
[08:57] ---
    ...here even though I wasn't asked to be
    because I didn't have anything else to do today!
[09:01] ---
    Well, please focus on your recuperation.
[09:04] ---
    To prepare for the next semester.
[09:05] ---
    Hey, hey, don't act so cold.
[09:07] ---
    This is the class for ultimate moves, right?
[09:09] ---
    There's no way I want to miss this.
[09:12] ---
    I am a teacher, too, you know.
[09:16] ---
    It looks like he's having trouble.
[09:22] ---
    Take that!
[09:27] ---
    It's been a while since I've
    been able to go wild! It feels good!
[09:30] ---
    Ectoplasm! Mine died! Give me another!
[09:34] ---
    He's amazing.
[09:36] ---
    Yes. He'll definitely get even stronger.
[09:43] ---
    Oooh! Bakugo's really into it!
[09:47] ---
    That guy's already got a lot of
    different ideas for his ultimate move, huh?
[09:50] ---
    "Toru Hagakure - Quirk: Invisibility"
[09:50] ---
    He had a name from the entrance exam!
[09:53] ---
    Whoops!
[09:54] ---
    Focus!
[09:55] ---
    Y-Yes sir!
[09:56] ---
    I've got a move I've been working on
    since I was a kid called Grape Rush, you know.
[10:01] ---
    I mean, everyone's
    thought about it before, right?
[10:03] ---
    I thought about doing
    a lightning sword or something.
[10:05] ---
    "Denki Kaminari - Quirk: Electrification"
[10:05] ---
    I'm getting excited just thinking about
    being able to do it for real in a place like this.
[10:12] ---
    What kind of ultimate move
    can I create with these arms...?
[10:15] ---
    Hey.
[10:16] ---
    Oh, All Might!
[10:19] ---
    Here's some advice.
[10:21] ---
    You're still trying to imitate me.
[10:25] ---
    Huh?
[10:26] ---
    What do you mean by that...?
[10:28] ---
    Hey, Young Kirishima!
[10:29] ---
    All Might!
[10:30] ---
    I'm going over to give you some advice.
[10:34] ---
    With your Hardening,
    rather than trying for small tricks,
[10:37] ---
    you should try to bulldoze your way through.
[10:39] ---
    Yes, sir!
[10:41] ---
    I can't call it teaching
    if I just tell you the answer.
[10:45] ---
    Think, young man!
[10:47] ---
    Whether you're right or
    wrong isn't important.
[10:49] ---
    What's important is for you
    to think it over and realize it for yourself.
[10:53] ---
    "Kyoka Jiro - Quirk: Earphone Jack"
[10:54] ---
    Young Jiro! I have advice for you!
[10:57] ---
    What are you doing, all of a sudden?
[11:00] ---
    "Even Dummies Can Be Teachers!
    Easy Education Theory"
[11:03] ---
    Huh?
[11:08] ---
    Regarding the improvements to your costumes,
[11:10] ---
    it won't do any good to think
    about things outside your specialty.
[11:13] ---
    If there's something you want to change,
[11:15] ---
    go to the development studio
    on the school grounds
[11:18] ---
    and ask an expert.
[11:23] ---
    You're still trying to imitate me.
[11:28] ---
    I still don't really understand
    what All Might meant by that,
[11:32] ---
    but anyway, it'd be bad
    if my arms stopped working.
[11:35] ---
    If there was some sort of brace that
    could support the movement of my arms...
[11:42] ---
    I need to work out my body to increase the
    upper limit of how much One For All I can use...
[11:46] ---
    From the conception to the
    completion of my ultimate move...
[11:49] ---
    To keep from falling behind everyone...
[11:51] ---
    No, that's not it! I need to be at the top!
[11:56] ---
    I see! You're focusing
    on making your own body float?
[11:59] ---
    Yeah! If I add more mobility,
[12:01] ---
    then I can use the martial arts
    I learned at my internship even more!
[12:05] ---
    What about you, Iida?
[12:06] ---
    I want to reduce the demerits of my Recipro.
[12:09] ---
    I'm planning on asking the development
    studio to improve my radiator.
[12:15] ---
    Oh, it's Deku!
[12:16] ---
    I was just wondering where you were!
[12:18] ---
    Don't run in the hallway!
[12:19] ---
    Deku, are you here
    for costume improvements, too?
[12:21] ---
    Oh, Uraraka--
[12:30] ---
    Oww...
[12:33] ---
    You know, you really shouldn't just
    put everything you think of together!
[12:39] ---
    "Failure is the mother of invention,"
    Mr. Power Loader,
[12:43] ---
    as Thomas Edison once said.
[12:46] ---
    Even if what I made
    doesn't work the way I planned,
[12:50] ---
    that doesn't mean it was a waste of time--
[12:52] ---
    This isn't the time for that!
[12:55] ---
    Will you listen to me for once, Hatsume?
[12:59] ---
    Oh? When did you get here?
[13:05] ---
    B-B-B...
[13:07] ---
    ...oobs!

    It's been a while, huh?
    Hero course students, um...
[13:24] ---
    "Support Course First Year - Mei Hatsume"
[13:25] ---
    I've forgotten all of your names.
[13:27] ---
    I-I'm Izu-Izuku M-Midoriya...
[13:29] ---
    I'm Tenya Iida!
[13:31] ---
    I'm the man you used as an advertising
    tower during the sports festival tournament!
[13:34] ---
    I see!
[13:35] ---
    Well, I'm busy developing my babies, so...!
[13:38] ---
    Um, wait, I wanted to ask Mr. Power Loader
    about improving my costume...
[13:44] ---
    Improving your costume?
[13:46] ---
    Sounds interesting!
[13:48] ---
    Hatsume.
[13:49] ---
    It's fine for you to come in and out of the
    studio now that the dorm system is in place,
[13:53] ---
    "Excavation Hero - Power Loader"
[13:53] ---
    but if you go wild in here any more,
    I'm going to banish you!
[13:58] ---
    U-Um...
[14:00] ---
    I've already heard from Eraser Head.
[14:01] ---
    You're here about changing your costumes
    as you develop your ultimate moves, right?
[14:04] ---
    Come in.
[14:09] ---
    It's like a secret hideout!
[14:11] ---
    Now, show me the instructions
    for your costume.
[14:14] ---
    It's in the case with your costume, right?
[14:17] ---
    I have a license to make costumes,
    so I'll tinker with what I can using that.
[14:23] ---
    For small changes and repairs, I can just
    report what I changed to the design company,
[14:27] ---
    and they'll do the paperwork for it,
[14:29] ---
    but for major changes,
    we'll have to fill out an application
[14:33] ---
    and ask the design company to do it.
[14:36] ---
    Then, the government will check
    the new costume, and once it's approved,
[14:40] ---
    it'll come back here.
[14:43] ---
    Anyway, the agencies we
    work with are the best,
[14:46] ---
    so we usually get them
    back in about three days.
[14:49] ---
    Um, I was thinking about how I could lessen
    the strain on the ligaments of my arms...
[14:54] ---
    Is something like that possible?
[14:56] ---
    Um, Midoriya, you...
    fight with your fists and fingers, right?
[15:01] ---
    If that's the case, then it'd be possible
    to do it pretty fast with just a little tinkering.
[15:06] ---
    Isn't that great, Deku?
[15:07] ---
    Yeah!
[15:12] ---
    Yes, yes, I see.
[15:14] ---
    H-Hatsume, what are you...?
[15:17] ---
    I'm touching his body.
[15:19] ---
    Yes, yes, much more solid than he looks.
[15:23] ---
    Very well, you can use...
[15:27] ---
    My baby that I'd been saving, a powered suit!
[15:31] ---
    Um...
[15:31] ---
    This high-tech baby can read
    the contractions of your muscles
[15:34] ---
    and support your movements!
[15:35] ---
    It's baby number 49!
[15:38] ---
    I'm fine with just support for my arms...
[15:41] ---
    Start!
[15:42] ---
    Wow, it's amazing! It's moving on its own!
[15:45] ---
    Huh? Wait, it won't stop... wait...
[15:48] ---
    --Ow... Ouch... my back...!
    --Deku!
[15:51] ---
    Stop!
[15:52] ---
    It looks like I made a mistake
    in its operational limits program.
[15:55] ---
    "heh heh heh"
[15:55] ---
    I'm sorry!
[15:56] ---
    Are you all right?!
[15:58] ---
    All I asked for was a brace for my arms,
[16:00] ---
    but my torso ended up
    almost getting twisted off...
[16:02] ---
    This is fine, too. It'd probably
    be useful as a capture item.
[16:06] ---
    Um, I would like you to strengthen
    the cooling device on my legs...
[16:10] ---
    If that's the case, then...
[16:12] ---
    There's this baby!
[16:14] ---
    Hey!
[16:15] ---
    This is an electric booster for super coolers
    that can cool things that give off heat!
[16:19] ---
    It's baby number 36!
[16:20] ---
    --Isn't it cute?
    --No, I don't need to change my booster, Hatsume!
[16:23] ---
    --Booster, on!
    --Besides, why is on my chest?! Hey!
[16:26] ---
    Iida!
[16:29] ---
    My Quirk is on my legs, though...
[16:33] ---
    I know.
[16:34] ---
    But you know what I think?
[16:37] ---
    If you want to cool your legs,
    then why don't you run with your arms?
[16:42] ---
    What in the world are you saying?!
[16:44] ---
    Stop messing around!
[16:48] ---
    You're still trying to imitate me.
[16:52] ---
    Oh, it's like.... oh...
[16:55] ---
    Sorry about that.
    She's self-centered to a fault.
[16:59] ---
    I know that very well.
[17:01] ---
    Yeah.
[17:02] ---
    But well, if you all are
    aspiring to be heroes,
[17:05] ---
    then you should treasure
    your relationship with her.
[17:09] ---
    I'm sure you'll be calling
    on her after you become pros.
[17:12] ---
    Take a look at that.
[17:14] ---
    That pile of junk...
[17:16] ---
    Those are all support items Hatsume
    has made since starting school.
[17:20] ---
    Even when school's not in session,
    she's here tinkering with something.
[17:24] ---
    I've seen many students
    in the support course in my career,
[17:27] ---
    but Hatsume really is special.
[17:30] ---
    It's been just a little over
    four months since we started school,
[17:32] ---
    and she's already made so many...
[17:37] ---
    "Common sense is the collection of prejudices
    acquired by age eighteen," said Einstein.
[17:45] ---
    She is unafraid of failure, constantly
    thinking of new ideas and trying them out.
[17:50] ---
    Those who are innovators
    are not bound by existing ideas.
[17:56] ---
    You're still trying to imitate me.
[18:00] ---
    --Something...! Something...!
    --Your admiration for All Might and
    your sense of duty are like shackles.
[18:04] ---
    --Something is...
    --If you want to cool your legs,
    then why don't you run with your arms?
[18:12] ---
    ...becoming clear!
[18:14] ---
    Iida, can you teach me?
[18:18] ---
    I-I don't know what you're
    talking about but wait a minute!
[18:19] ---
    You may not have noticed, but we haven't
    made progress on any of our costumes.
[18:24] ---
    Oh, that's right!
[18:25] ---
    Deku, your face suddenly cleared up.
[18:28] ---
    Huh? R-Really?
[18:30] ---
    Speaking of which,
    are you changing part of your costume?
[18:33] ---
    I want to control my nausea more...
[18:36] ---
    Is that right?
[18:38] ---
    In that case, how about this?
[18:40] ---
    What is that? Will it explode?!
[18:43] ---
    If you do this to the item...
[18:46] ---
    Something black came out!
[18:47] ---
    Hatsume!
[18:52] ---
    I'm sorry!
[18:55] ---
    Our training to create
    ultimate moves continued...
[19:02] ---
    "Hanta Sero - Quirk: Tape"
[19:12] ---
    "Suppression in Progress"
[19:31] ---
    "Four Days Later"
[19:34] ---
    How are things progressing, Aizawa?
[19:36] ---
    You're here again? We're getting there.
[19:43] ---
    Midoriya!
[19:44] ---
    Did you change your costume?
[19:46] ---
    Yeah! I got braces
    to reduce the strain on my arms.
[19:50] ---
    You should've used the chance
    to change your whole look.
[19:53] ---
    Your costume was on the boring side.
[19:56] ---
    It's fine.
[19:58] ---
    Congrats on getting into U.A.!
[20:00] ---
    I might've jumped to conclusions, though.
[20:02] ---
    I don't want to change the base too much.
[20:07] ---
    "Fumikage Tokoyami - Quirk: Dark Shadow"
[20:08] ---
    Cover me, Dark Shadow!
[20:10] ---
    Got it!
[20:13] ---
    By covering myself with Dark Shadow,
[20:15] ---
    I am able to make up for my
    weaknesses in physical and close combat.
[20:19] ---
    I call it...
[20:20] ---
    "Abyssal Black Body"
[20:21] ---
    ...Abyssal Black Body!
[20:23] ---
    Isn't that hard to say?
[20:24] ---
    It's important for your
    move names to be easy to say, too.
[20:26] ---
    Got it!
[20:28] ---
    There are those who have
    finally solidified their styles
[20:31] ---
    and those who are already
    trying to create multiple moves.
[20:39] ---
    Not from the whole palm of my hand,
[20:41] ---
    but an explosion from
    a single concentrated point...
[20:44] ---
    "AP Shot (Armor Piercing Shot)"
[20:45] ---
    AP Shot!
[20:49] ---
    I did it!
[20:51] ---
    Young Bakugo's really doing well, as usual.
[20:55] ---
    Yes.
[21:00] ---
    Hey, look out!
[21:13] ---
    Smash...!
[21:19] ---
    All Might's ultimate moves
    are generally fists.
[21:23] ---
    Since I inherited One For All,
    I thought I should also do the same
[21:27] ---
    and decided that without realizing it!
[21:30] ---
    It's really simple!
[21:32] ---
    So simple that I didn't even realize it!
[21:36] ---
    If I'm worried about my arms,
    then I'll use my legs!
[21:40] ---
    One For All: Full Cowling...
[21:42] ---
    ...Shoot Style!
[21:47] ---
    That's right.
[23:20] ---
    "Preview"
[23:20] ---
    Here's the preview!
[23:21] ---
    One For All: Full Cowling...
[23:23] ---
    ...Shoot Style!
[23:24] ---
    Costume Gamma!
[23:25] ---
    With both in hand, I take on
    the provisional hero licensing exam!
[23:29] ---
    Next time, "The Test"!
[23:31] ---
    "Next time: The Test"
[23:31] ---
    Go beyond!
[23:32] ---
    Plus Ultra!
[23:35] ---
