[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!
[01:51] ---
    "Three Weeks Earlier"
[01:52] ---
    "Planning Meeting for Provisional Licensing Exam"
    "Heroes Public Safety Commission"
[01:53] ---
    Ball throwing?
[01:55] ---
    That seems too much like a game...
[01:58] ---
    Is it really all right?
[01:59] ---
    The real test will be how they deal
    with the chaos caused by it.
[02:04] ---
    We want to see if they will be able
    to use their Quirks and make decisions
[02:07] ---
    quickly and correctly in a crisis.
[02:09] ---
    And it's the same for the second exam?
[02:11] ---
    At this rate, we'll be evaluating
    not their individual abilities,
[02:14] ---
    but their ability to work in a group.
[02:17] ---
    This was a proposal from
    the National Police Agency--
[02:20] ---
    A revision of the evaluation criteria
    and requirements for granting licenses.
[02:23] ---
    It's effectively an order.
[02:26] ---
    Assuming that all examinees have knowledge
    of basic emergency procedures and first-aid,
[02:32] ---
    we were told to focus on
    their attitudes toward cooperation.
[02:37] ---
    Cooperation, huh?
[02:39] ---
    This has become necessary.
[02:42] ---
    "Pro Hero - All Might - Quirk: One For All"
[02:42] ---
    All Might was at the top in
    everything--strength and charisma.
[02:47] ---
    There was always a large gap
    between him and the number two hero.
[02:48] ---
    "Pro Hero - Endeavor - Quirk: Hellflame"
[02:52] ---
    It will be hard to find someone
    else as charismatic as him.
[02:56] ---
    Rather than waiting for the next All Might,
[02:58] ---
    we should fill that hole with an army
    of heroes with a strong sense of unity.
[03:04] ---
    "Heroes Public Safety Commission - Yokumiru Mera"
[03:04] ---
    The proposal this time
    is like a foothold into that.
[03:09] ---
    The second test of the
    provisional hero licensing exam...
[03:12] ---
    Rescuing people who were
    in a large-scale terrorist attack
[03:16] ---
    and dealing with the villain behind the attack.
[03:21] ---
    What's that?!
[03:24] ---
    Rescuing and fighting!
[03:27] ---
    Can you do everything at the same time?
[03:31] ---
    "Izuku Midoriya - Quirk: One For All"
[03:32] ---
    Gang Orca...!
[03:35] ---
    During the League of Villains
    search-and-destroy operation in Kamino Ward,
[03:38] ---
    he was brought out among the ranks
    of heroes like Endeavor and Best Jeanist.
[03:43] ---
    He's strong, you know.
[03:48] ---
    Villains have appeared
    and started their pursuit!
[03:51] ---
    "Ochaco Uraraka - Quirk: Zero Gravity"
    "Rikido Sato - Quirk: Sugar Rush"
    "Momo Yaoyorozu - Quirk: Creation"
[03:51] ---
    Hero candidates at the scene
    should continue their rescue efforts
[03:55] ---
    while also suppressing the villains.
[03:55] ---
    "Mezo Shoji - Quirk: Dupli-Arms"
    "Tenya Iida - Quirk: Engine"
    "Minoru Mineta - Quirk: Pop Off"
[03:57] ---
    Continue rescue efforts while fighting?!
[03:59] ---
    Jeez, are they serious?!
[04:02] ---
    Aren't they expecting a little too much?!
[04:04] ---
    "Pro Hero - Shota Aizawa - Quirk: Erasure"
    "Pro Hero - Ms. Joke - Quirk: Outburst"
[04:04] ---
    This situation would be
    difficult even for a pro.
[04:07] ---
    To go this far for the provisional license...
[04:11] ---
    Now...
[04:13] ---
    What'll you do?
[04:14] ---
    "Shoto Todoroki - Quirk: Half-Cold, Half-Hot"
[04:15] ---
    Fight, or protect?
[04:17] ---
    "Inasa Yoarashi - Quirk: Whirlwind"
[04:18] ---
    Help, or run?
[04:21] ---
    What will you do, heroes?!
[04:23] ---
    "What's the Big Idea?"
[04:27] ---
    "Mountain Zone"
[04:29] ---
    Villains?
[04:30] ---
    "Mina Ashido - Quirk: Acid"
    "Fumikage Tokoyami - Quirk: Dark Shadow"
    "Mashirao Ojiro - Quirk: Tail"
[04:30] ---
    Look, right in front of the first-aid station!
[04:32] ---
    Oh, no!
[04:33] ---
    I can't believe they'd
    send out villains so close!
[04:36] ---
    They're so mean!
[04:37] ---
    "Tsuyu Asui - Quirk: Frog"
[04:37] ---
    There are still a lot of people to rescue here,
[04:40] ---
    but we can't just ignore
    what's going on over there...
[04:43] ---
    Yeah...
[04:45] ---
    For this second test, everyone starts
    off with a certain number of points,
[04:49] ---
    and then they're graded based
    on how many they lose.
[04:52] ---
    H.U.C. evaluates whether or not
    they are acting properly in their rescue,
[04:55] ---
    and besides that,
[04:56] ---
    for example--
[04:57] ---
    whether or not you've put yourself
    in a position to best use your own Quirk--
[05:01] ---
    looking at the big picture comprised of
    the scoring manual and the examinees' data
[05:06] ---
    are one hundred employees
    of the Public Safety Commission
[05:08] ---
    scoring each person individually.
[05:11] ---
    Examinees fail when their
    total score falls below fifty points.
[05:14] ---
    "Fail"
[05:17] ---
    Please do your best to make the right decisions.
[05:23] ---
    Get everyone to safety!
[05:25] ---
    Shindo?!
[05:26] ---
    Toward the back!
[05:27] ---
    "Yo Shindo - Quirk: Vibrate"
[05:27] ---
    Get them as far away
    from the villains as possible!
[05:29] ---
    R-Right!
[05:30] ---
    I'll keep hammering away at them
    with tremors at one-second intervals!
[05:36] ---
    I won't let them get close!
[05:38] ---
    Not good enough.
[05:42] ---
    Gang Orca...!
[05:43] ---
    Is he going all out?
[05:45] ---
    I wonder...
[05:46] ---
    Shindo!
[05:49] ---
    Only a single rear guard when
    there's this much of a difference in ability?
[05:52] ---
    Looks like you were underestimating us.
[05:54] ---
    "Gang Orca - Quirk: Orcinus"
[05:54] ---
    Gang Orca! Quirk: Orcinus.
[05:57] ---
    He can do things an orca can do even on land.
[05:59] ---
    One of those is an ultrasonic
    wave attack that can paralyze!
[06:12] ---
    Todoroki!
[06:14] ---
    Midoriya, are you evacuating?
[06:15] ---
    We'll help!
[06:16] ---
    Todoroki's so fast!
[06:18] ---
    Where were you guys?
[06:19] ---
    By the water over there!
[06:21] ---
    Everyone headed to the city first,
    so we went where they didn't have enough people.
[06:24] ---
    But after seeing the villains come out
    in full force over here, we came to help!
[06:28] ---
    Yaoyorozu and Asui are still
    back there continuing the rescue.
[06:34] ---
    An attack like this is nothing!
[06:36] ---
    As expected of the number ten hero.
[06:40] ---
    Wind...
[06:41] ---
    Blow away...!
[06:48] ---
    A villain attack?
[06:49] ---
    You guys have prepared
    some pretty hot developments!
[06:55] ---
    That's the guy who turned down U.A.!
[06:58] ---
    This is good. We should keep evacuating now
    that the strong attackers have gathered!
[07:02] ---
    Right!
[07:04] ---
    Prioritizing the first-aid station--the
    cornerstone of the rescue efforts--
[07:10] ---
    That was very wise...
[07:12] ---
    In fact, with their strong
    all-encompassing Quirks,
[07:15] ---
    Yoarashi and Todoroki were the best for the job.
[07:17] ---
    "Provisional Licensing Exam"
    "Second Test Scoring Sheet"
[07:17] ---
    Good job!
[07:21] ---
    To arrive at the same time as you...
[07:24] ---
    I hate you guys.
[07:28] ---
    That's my line.
[07:30] ---
    Everything you say is a distraction.
[07:33] ---
    Why don't you go help
    with evacuating the first-aid station?
[07:36] ---
    That works with your Quirk, right?
[07:38] ---
    I'll take care of this.
[07:45] ---
    Here they come.
[07:53] ---
    Huh? What're they aiming at?
[07:55] ---
    Why'd you use your flames?!
[07:57] ---
    The heat makes the wind rise!
[07:59] ---
    Because the ice was blocked earlier!
[08:01] ---
    Didn't you do that on purpose?
[08:04] ---
    Your wind blew away my flames!
[08:07] ---
    You're the one who did it on purpose
    to keep me from getting all the glory!
[08:09] ---
    Huh? Why would I do that?!
[08:12] ---
    Why wouldn't you?
[08:13] ---
    I mean, you're the son of that Endeavor!
[08:18] ---
    What the hell's been wrong
    with you this whole time?!
[08:21] ---
    My old man has nothing to do with it--
[08:23] ---
    Cement Gun!
[08:25] ---
    It'll harden up real fast and
    make it hard for you to move.
[08:28] ---
    This is outrageous! I can't believe
    you two would start arguing here.
[08:35] ---
    What do you mean,
    it has nothing to do with him?
[08:37] ---
    It definitely does!
[08:40] ---
    To me, heroes are passionate!
[08:44] ---
    With their passionate hearts,
    they bring hope and inspiration to people!
[08:48] ---
    Their passion comes through!
[08:51] ---
    You're in the way.
[08:53] ---
    Don't get in my way.
[08:57] ---
    That's why it was a shock!
[09:00] ---
    Because nothing came through
    in those eyes except a cold, cold anger!
[09:10] ---
    And then, at the entrance exam,
[09:12] ---
    I saw you, and I knew
    who you were immediately.
[09:16] ---
    Because you...
[09:19] ---
    You're in the way.
[09:21] ---
    ...had the exact same eyes!
[09:25] ---
    The same...?
[09:28] ---
    That's ridiculous.
[09:32] ---
    I'm not the same as him.
[09:36] ---
    That's enough. Stop listening to him.
[09:39] ---
    What it comes down to is
    that he's an Endeavor hater.
[09:44] ---
    Focus on the test...
[09:48] ---
    Don't lose your cool.
[09:50] ---
    You've already overcome
    your relationship with the old man.
[09:54] ---
    No...
[09:57] ---
    There's still some hate toward him...
[10:00] ---
    This is no good... Focus on the test!
[10:06] ---
    What are you doing
    with a villain in front of you?
[10:09] ---
    Man...
[10:11] ---
    You and your dad are the only heroes
[10:14] ---
    I won't accept no matter what!
[10:17] ---
    The end!
[10:19] ---
    Focus...
[10:21] ---
    Again?!
[10:22] ---
    You really are...
[10:26] ---
    The wind's sending the flames...!
[10:33] ---
    What... are you doing?!
[10:37] ---
    "Shoto Todoroki"
    "Quirk: Half-Cold, Half-Hot"
    "He has two Quirks: 'freezing' on his right half and 'flames' on his left half."
[10:37] ---
    "Affiliation: U.A. High School Hero Class 1-A"
    "Birthday: 1/11"
    "Height: 176 cm" "Blood Type: O" "Likes: Soba (the kind that's not hot)"
[10:41] ---
    "Gang Orca"
    "Quirk: Orcinus"
    "He can use his orca traits whether on land or in water."
[10:41] ---
    "Affiliation: Pro Hero"
    "Birthday: 10/29"
    "Height: 202 cm" "Blood Type: B" "Likes: Strong People, Sea Bathing"
[10:47] ---
    I've never been afraid of
    anything, ever since I was a kid.
[10:52] ---
    Oh, it's so fast and cool!
[10:56] ---
    I like this bug!
[10:59] ---
    I liked anything and everything.
[11:02] ---
    That's why, the minute I knew
    what a hero was, I was fired up.
[11:09] ---
    Tackling crises in front of them
    with everything they had--
[11:12] ---
    That passion!
[11:16] ---
    That's why I didn't like that hero.
[11:19] ---
    Just that hero...
[11:21] ---
    ...with those eyes that seemed
    to hate something far ahead of him.
[11:25] ---
    He was the only thing that I hated.
[11:30] ---
    Okay, the written test of the
    recommendation entrance exam is over!
[11:34] ---
    Next is the practical exam,
    and last will be the interview!
[11:37] ---
    You'll go six at a time for the practical.
[11:40] ---
    Go to the exam location
    when your number's called!
[11:42] ---
    The exam will be a 3-kilometer race.
[11:45] ---
    But it's a course that you won't
    be able to finish if you just run.
[11:48] ---
    Use your Quirks freely to reach the finish line!
[11:51] ---
    The best hero school in Japan...
[11:55] ---
    The most passionate high school
    life in Japan is waiting for me!
[12:02] ---
    Making a path of ice to move! He's fast!
[12:06] ---
    I really didn't like his eyes,
[12:08] ---
    but his abilities are super hot!
[12:11] ---
    He'll probably be accepted.
[12:14] ---
    Well, if I use this chance
    to make friends with him,
[12:17] ---
    maybe his eyes won't bother me anymore!
[12:23] ---
    By a hair! Number 41 finishes first!
[12:30] ---
    And it's three minutes faster
    than the average for a normal year!
[12:33] ---
    All right! I won!
[12:35] ---
    But who knows what'll happen next time!
[12:36] ---
    You're amazing!
[12:38] ---
    Are you Endeavor's kid or something?
[12:40] ---
    That's amazing!
[12:41] ---
    Shut up.
[12:44] ---
    I just have to pass this test.
[12:47] ---
    I wasn't competing with you or anything.
[12:54] ---
    He's not looking.
[12:56] ---
    You're in the way.
[12:58] ---
    It's like he hates something...
    far ahead of him...
[13:04] ---
    What... are you doing?!
[13:11] ---
    Hard to believe they're from top schools.
[13:13] ---
    It's too bad, but those two are probably...
[13:20] ---
    A Quirk using wind...
[13:23] ---
    That's right... He was in my way...
[13:26] ---
    It was him... I'm sure of it...
[13:29] ---
    Why didn't I remember him right away?
[13:32] ---
    He's so loud and obnoxious...
[13:36] ---
    I didn't really see him...
[13:40] ---
    In order to reject that bastard...
[13:43] ---
    I couldn't think about anything else...
[13:46] ---
    ...I forgot about you.
[13:50] ---
    Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing...
[13:52] ---
    Whether it is correct or not...
[13:55] ---
    I just let it go without knowing for sure...
[13:58] ---
    Is this where it comes back?
[14:01] ---
    My past... and my blood...
[14:06] ---
    I can't just bury it and forget about it, huh?
[14:11] ---
    First...
[14:13] ---
    I'll take care of the wind that's in the way!
[14:15] ---
    Shoot!
[14:18] ---
    Impact!
[14:19] ---
    It's a teamwork play between us and the boss!
[14:22] ---
    I'll harden up all the examinees nice and solid!
[14:26] ---
    Oh, no! My control's...!
[14:28] ---
    Hey!
[14:30] ---
    You reap what you sow.
[14:41] ---
    There was some distance between us,
    so it wasn't as effective, huh?
[14:44] ---
    While the boss is at it,
    let's go mess up the evacuation shelter!
[14:48] ---
    All right!
[14:50] ---
    Shit...
[14:51] ---
    Damn it...
[14:54] ---
    What... are you doing?!
[14:57] ---
    Seriously!
[15:00] ---
    I've become what I hated.
[15:04] ---
    The things I did in the past
    caused this situation...
[15:08] ---
    I...
[15:09] ---
    ...have to fix this!
[15:11] ---
    Oh no, they're going to get through!
[15:13] ---
    They're coming this way!
[15:15] ---
    At this distance,
    it'll be bad if I don't make a front line!
[15:18] ---
    Get out of the way!
[15:22] ---
    Shindo!
[15:24] ---
    I thought you couldn't move
    because of the orca's ultrasonic waves!
[15:26] ---
    Well, my extremities are still pretty numb,
[15:29] ---
    but sound waves and vibrations...
[15:31] ---
    My brains get shaken pretty much
    every day from the recoil of my own Quirk.
[15:36] ---
    So I've built up some tolerance to them...
[15:39] ---
    Anyway...
[15:39] ---
    I was trying to get a surprise attack
    in with that to begin with!
[15:43] ---
    And then those two first years...!
[15:45] ---
    His personality's...
[15:47] ---
    I've stopped them.
[15:48] ---
    Put 'em out of action!
[15:50] ---
    Split up and get the
    remaining injured to shelter!
[15:53] ---
    Right!
[15:55] ---
    Now...
[15:56] ---
    Shall I take down that wind-user
[15:57] ---
    and go help those guys?
[16:01] ---
    Competing with each other in vain...
[16:03] ---
    We're not compatible at all...
[16:06] ---
    And we've got zero teamwork...
[16:08] ---
    There's no way we could
    beat a top hero like this.
[16:13] ---
    If you feel the same way I do...
[16:17] ---
    The heat makes the wind rise!
[16:20] ---
    From the bottom...
[16:22] ---
    ...scoop it out!
[16:23] ---
    I'm so numb that
    I can't put any strength in it...
[16:26] ---
    But...
[16:28] ---
    ...I have to do this!
[16:36] ---
    With flames...
[16:37] ---
    ...and wind...
[16:38] ---
    ...we'll trap you!
[16:44] ---
    Even though he didn't move his body...!
[16:47] ---
    His power and accuracy have decreased,
[16:50] ---
    but the paralysis didn't have enough effect.
[16:52] ---
    He's able to just barely control his Quirk.
[16:56] ---
    On the other hand,
    Todoroki, who can't move at all,
[17:00] ---
    is covering for Yoarashi's lack
    of strength by adding his flames...
[17:03] ---
    This won't make their
    foolishness earlier disappear...
[17:07] ---
    ...but it's not bad.
[17:11] ---
    The ground gets packed down after a storm.
[17:14] ---
    They realized their mistake,
[17:15] ---
    and they're trying to make up for it.
[17:17] ---
    I don't dislike that kind of struggling.
[17:20] ---
    Hey, behind you!
[17:21] ---
    The boss is trapped by a spiral of flame!
[17:24] ---
    Isn't this bad?
[17:25] ---
    The boss is like an orca,
    so he's super weak to drying out!
[17:28] ---
    Forget the wind! Stop the flames!
[17:32] ---
    What?!
[17:33] ---
    Todoroki! He's using both his left and right...!
[17:36] ---
    Simultaneous activation of left and right...
[17:39] ---
    I need to practice more.
[17:41] ---
    It slows me down.
[17:43] ---
    If I can't move...
[17:45] ---
    ...then it doesn't matter!
[17:47] ---
    Should we go back and help?
[17:48] ---
    No, wait!
[17:49] ---
    Smash...!
[17:52] ---
    Defeat the villains!
[17:53] ---
    Shoot! Shoot!
[17:56] ---
    I'll borrow this!
[17:59] ---
    Ojiro!
[18:00] ---
    All the injured have been evacuated!
[18:02] ---
    Reinforcements will be here soon!
[18:07] ---
    The rescue of the H.U.C., who were on standby...
[18:10] ---
    They just have three people
    left before they're done...
[18:13] ---
    The test will end at that point.
[18:17] ---
    Do your best to hold them off until then.
[18:22] ---
    I can sleep soon...!
[18:25] ---
    Ojiro! Midoriya!
[18:27] ---
    We're here to help!
[18:28] ---
    Mow them all down at once!
[18:29] ---
    Freeze them all in place!
[18:31] ---
    Ribbit!
[18:34] ---
    Asui--I mean, Tsu!
[18:35] ---
    When'd you get there?!
[18:37] ---
    I polished up my frog skills and finally
    reached a level I could use in combat--
[18:41] ---
    Camouflage! It's my new move.
[18:43] ---
    Asui! Are you done with
    the search and rescue already?
[18:47] ---
    Pretty much.
[18:48] ---
    Ribbit! Look out!
[18:53] ---
    "Nagamasa Mora - Quirk: Extend-o-Hair"
[18:53] ---
    Shiketsu High School!
[18:56] ---
    I sent Inasa here,
[18:58] ---
    but it's a disgrace on the Shiketsu
    name for there to be so many left!
[19:04] ---
    So strong!
[19:05] ---
    Yes.
[19:06] ---
    Let's go, too!
[19:15] ---
    A hot wind prison of flame and wind, huh?
[19:18] ---
    It's a good idea.
[19:20] ---
    A normal villain would give up,
[19:22] ---
    cry, and beg for forgiveness.
[19:25] ---
    But what if they didn't?
[19:28] ---
    After playing a hand, you need
    to already be planning the next one.
[19:43] ---
    Well? What's next?
[19:47] ---
    Nothing.
[19:52] ---
    Please get away from those two!
[19:56] ---
    Midoriya!
[19:59] ---
    You're... always...
[20:06] ---
    Um, at this moment,
[20:09] ---
    all the H.U.C. who were deployed
    have been rescued from the danger zone.
[20:14] ---
    Huh? Right now?
[20:15] ---
    That was us, then!
[20:17] ---
    It may seem arbitrary,
[20:19] ---
    but with this, all the provisional licensing
    exam procedures have been completed.
[20:24] ---
    We're done?!
[20:26] ---
    After we tally the scores,
[20:28] ---
    we will announce the results here.
[20:30] ---
    Those who were injured
    should go to the infirmary.
[20:33] ---
    The rest of you should change and then stand by.
[20:37] ---
    Boss, sorry, we couldn't do our job...
[20:39] ---
    These restraining protectors
    really make it hard to move, huh?
[20:46] ---
    No, even without the protectors,
[20:49] ---
    the spiral of flame was excellent.
[20:53] ---
    And with Midoriya's surprise attack
    after the damage from drying out...
[20:57] ---
    If the test had gone on longer...
[21:00] ---
    Or...
[21:06] ---
    Okay... Everyone,
    thanks for all your hard work...
[21:10] ---
    Now, I will announce the results,
[21:13] ---
    but before that, I will tell
    you about the scoring system.
[21:17] ---
    Between those of us at the
    Heroes Public Safety Commission and H.U.C,
[21:21] ---
    we had a two-fold demerit system
    we used while watching you.
[21:23] ---
    "Denki Kaminari - Quirk: Electrification"
    "Katsuki Bakugo - Quirk: Explosion"
    "Eijiro Kirishima - Quirk: Hardening" "Yuga Aoyama - Quirk: Navel Laser"
[21:25] ---
    In other words, we were evaluating you
    on how few mistakes you made
[21:31] ---
    in a crisis situation.
[21:33] ---
    Anyway, the names of those
    who passed are listed in syllabary order.
[21:38] ---
    Please check the list
    keeping those words in mind.
[21:44] ---
    "ba-dump ba-dump ba-dump"
[21:44] ---
    Mi... Mi...
[21:47] ---
    Mi...
[23:20] ---
    "Preview"
[23:20] ---
    Here's the preview!
[23:21] ---
    The exam ended, and that night,
[23:24] ---
    I was suddenly called out by Kacchan.
[23:27] ---
    What in the world does he want to talk about...?
[23:29] ---
    Next time, "A Talk about Your Quirk."
[23:31] ---
    "Next time: A Talk about Your Quirk"
[23:32] ---
    Go beyond!
[23:33] ---
    Plus Ultra!
