[00:01] ---
    "Class A" "Class B"
[00:03] ---
    At U.A. High School's Class 1-A
    and Class 1-B team combat training,
[00:08] ---
    the classes are tied
[00:10] ---
    at the end of the third match,
    with one win, one loss, and one draw
[00:15] ---
    as they start the fourth match.
[00:18] ---
    Hey, wait. Are you serious?
[00:20] ---
    You've gotta be kidding!
[00:22] ---
    Shaddup.
[00:24] ---
    Just watch, damn Deku!
[02:08] ---
    With this stage,
[02:10] ---
    and Sero, and Jiro...
[02:12] ---
    It'll be bad...
[02:14] ---
    Definitely a pain...
[02:16] ---
    And with Sato,
    and Bakugo's power and explosions...
[02:20] ---
    They're super balanced.
[02:21] ---
    We should just assume we're
    dead if they take the initiative.
[02:25] ---
    It doesn't matter.
[02:26] ---
    Let's hurry up and slash them to pieces.
[02:29] ---
    The early bird gets the worm!
    Let's get 'em!
[02:33] ---
    "Early Bird!"
[02:38] ---
    Currently, Class A and Class B both
    have one win, one loss, and one draw.
[02:42] ---
    It may look like the
    two classes are evenly matched...
[02:45] ---
    However!
[02:46] ---
    Class A's win was mostly thanks to Shinso!
[02:49] ---
    "Pro Hero - Vlad King - Quirk: Blood Control"
[02:49] ---
    Can you really call that evenly matched?
[02:53] ---
    "Eijiro Kirishima - Quirk: Hardening"
    "Denki Kaminari - Quirk: Electrification"
[02:53] ---
    That's a mean way to put it, Mr. Vlad!
[02:56] ---
    "Pro Hero - All Might - Quirk: One For All"
    "Pro Hero - Midnight - Quirk: Somnambulist"
[02:56] ---
    Even though his Quirk's Blood Control,
    he's getting hot-blooded.
[02:59] ---
    He's going overboard with his love.
[03:02] ---
    But...
[03:02] ---
    "Pro Hero - Shota Aizawa - Quirk: Erasure"
[03:03] ---
    Stop that.
[03:05] ---
    Mr. Aizawa! This is a legitimate protest!
[03:08] ---
    Will you say the same
    if you mess up in a real fight?
[03:11] ---
    Class B is working much harder coming up
    with plans and countermeasures.
[03:16] ---
    That's a fact.
[03:17] ---
    It seems Vlad had the upper hand.
[03:23] ---
    You're just troublemakers!
[03:25] ---
    Did you know?
[03:27] ---
    Trouble is something brought
    about by the immature!
[03:30] ---
    "Neito Monoma - Quirk: Copy"
[03:35] ---
    Class B has been training
    hard every day to become stronger.
[03:38] ---
    But this isn't all Class A has, either.
[03:41] ---
    All Might, you like Class A, don't you?
[03:44] ---
    I like everyone!
[03:48] ---
    I'm looking forward
    to seeing what you do...
[03:51] ---
    ...Young Bakugo!
[03:54] ---
    Hurry it up, slowpokes!
[03:56] ---
    I have to listen to sounds while I run!
[03:58] ---
    Just follow me!
[04:00] ---
    "Rikido Sato - Quirk: Sugar Rush "
[04:00] ---
    Expecting people to follow, as usual, huh?
[04:03] ---
    "Hanta Sero - Quirk: Tape"
[04:03] ---
    He hasn't changed
    since the sports festival.
[04:05] ---
    "Kyoka Jiro - Quirk: Earphone Jack"
[04:06] ---
    He's cooperating, anyway.
[04:09] ---
    But...
[04:10] ---
    Listen, you underlings!
[04:12] ---
    Just follow me!
[04:14] ---
    Stop with the "you."
[04:15] ---
    And with calling us "underlings."
[04:17] ---
    I'll take the lead and head upward.
[04:19] ---
    "Katsuki Bakugo - Quirk: Explosion"
[04:19] ---
    You guys just get ready to support me.
[04:23] ---
    Ears! Make sure you keep listening
    for the positions of the small fry!
[04:26] ---
    Not "Ears"! Jiro.
[04:28] ---
    Are you going to attack, Bakugo?
[04:30] ---
    The other team has people
    really good at counterattacks.
[04:33] ---
    Since we've got Jiro,
    let's wait until we have an opening.
[04:36] ---
    Wait for an opening, and carefully--
[04:38] ---
    Idiot.
[04:40] ---
    That's why we have to take the initiative.
[04:43] ---
    Don't wait for an opening.
[04:45] ---
    Move and make your own opening.
[04:48] ---
    If we can see them, then we've won.
[04:51] ---
    Got it?
[04:52] ---
    Whoa!
[04:54] ---
    That's dangerous!
[04:55] ---
    Take those just in case.
[04:59] ---
    They don't have much power,
    but they can be useful.
[05:02] ---
    And...
[05:05] ---
    Is this really...
[05:07] ---
    ...going to work?
[05:13] ---
    There!
[05:15] ---
    --Ears!
    --It's Jiro!
[05:19] ---
    Everyone should be close!
[05:21] ---
    Find them!
[05:39] ---
    Hurry up!
[05:40] ---
    Hang on!
[05:52] ---
    She got me!
[05:53] ---
    And it's over.
[05:59] ---
    I used Jiro's search ability against her.
[06:02] ---
    "Setsuna Tokage - Quirk: Lizard Tail Splitter"
[06:03] ---
    Class B, Setsuna Tokage.
    Hero name: Lizardy.
[06:06] ---
    Quirk: Lizard Tail Splitter.
[06:08] ---
    She can split her whole body
    into pieces that can move around.
[06:16] ---
    After improving her Quirk,
    she can now split into up to 50 pieces!
[06:21] ---
    Shut up!
[06:25] ---
    Bakugo, over here!
[06:29] ---
    And it's over!
[06:31] ---
    Glue Squall!
[06:36] ---
    Glue?
[06:37] ---
    Shoot! It backfired!
[06:39] ---
    It's like we built a spiderweb
    to trap ourselves!
[06:43] ---
    Yes, all right! It's all going
    according to Setsuna's plan.
[06:47] ---
    "Kojiro Bondo - Quirk: Cemedine"
[06:47] ---
    Class B, Kojiro Bondo. Hero name: Plamo.
[06:51] ---
    Quirk: Cemedine.
[06:53] ---
    He shoots out glue!
[06:54] ---
    He can control how fast it dries!
[06:58] ---
    Too slow! Too slow!
[07:00] ---
    "Togaru Kamakiri - Quirk: Razor Sharp"
[07:00] ---
    Class B, Togaru Kamakiri.
    Hero name: Jack Mantis
[07:04] ---
    Quirk: Razor Sharp.
[07:05] ---
    He can produce blades
    from anywhere on his body!
[07:12] ---
    Throwing off Jiro's searching
    by making noise...
[07:16] ---
    Having Bondo make
    the pipes and tape sticky!
[07:19] ---
    If you touch them,
    you won't be able to get them off!
[07:27] ---
    I'll at least protect my teammates!
[07:37] ---
    Bakugo!
[07:38] ---
    Just what I wanted!
[07:41] ---
    I'll start with Jiro!
[07:50] ---
    Save people to win.
[07:55] ---
    Win to save people.
[07:59] ---
    I've gotten even stronger!
[08:07] ---
    And...
[08:09] ---
    When you guys are in danger,
    I'll save you!
[08:15] ---
    You blocked it?
[08:17] ---
    Bugs have fast reflexes, huh?
[08:22] ---
    Seriously?!
[08:25] ---
    Thanks.
[08:26] ---
    Shut up!
[08:27] ---
    They got away! Look for them!
[08:29] ---
    It doesn't matter if it's class or what.
[08:36] ---
    I've decided.
[08:38] ---
    I will have complete
    victory in every fight.
[08:42] ---
    4-0, no injuries!
[08:45] ---
    That's how someone
    who's really strong wins!
[08:54] ---
    Huh?
[08:55] ---
    Is there something wrong with my eyes?
[08:58] ---
    It looked like he protected Jiro...?
[09:01] ---
    He did--
[09:02] ---
    with a kick.
[09:03] ---
    That's actually how he is.
[09:06] ---
    Monoma, don't worry.
[09:08] ---
    There's nothing wrong with your eyes.
[09:10] ---
    Are you saying his personality changed?!
[09:16] ---
    Uh, well.
[09:17] ---
    It's true that it's the first time
    I've seen him do something as obvious
[09:20] ---
    as putting himself on the line.
[09:27] ---
    Don't fight directly with Bakugo.
    Retreat right away!
[09:31] ---
    If we fight him normally,
    we'll definitely lose...
[09:37] ---
    That's why if we can't capture them,
    we'll retreat right away
[09:40] ---
    and ambush them repeatedly,
    keeping our advantage!
[09:49] ---
    So loud! But there are less of them!
[09:53] ---
    Less?
[09:55] ---
    And they're all moving further away.
[09:57] ---
    Trying to regroup, huh?
[09:59] ---
    Damn it, underestimating us!
[10:02] ---
    The other team is most likely
    just a one-man show
[10:05] ---
    with the others following Bakugo.
[10:08] ---
    If we can provide stressors
    to make Bakugo make a mistake,
[10:12] ---
    then they'll just be a tired-out team.
[10:16] ---
    There are a lot of sounds in the way,
    so it's hard to make out,
[10:18] ---
    but if I concentrate, I can tell
    the difference between them!
[10:22] ---
    Let's go!
[10:33] ---
    He was hiding without making any sound?!
[10:35] ---
    They turned the tables again!
[10:37] ---
    Construction-Done-Kwik...
[10:39] ---
    Weldcraft!
[10:42] ---
    Complete!
[10:43] ---
    "Yosetsu Awase - Quirk: Weld"
[10:44] ---
    Class B, Yosetsu Awase. Hero name: Welder.
[10:47] ---
    Quirk: Weld.
[10:49] ---
    He can weld things together
    at the molecular level,
[10:52] ---
    but his Quirk won't activate unless
    he touches the things he wants to weld.
[10:57] ---
    They've figured us out too much!
[11:00] ---
    Like you can get me with Tape
    in such a chaotic place!
[11:04] ---
    Damn, was that part of Tokage's plan?
[11:05] ---
    She really had everything worked out.
[11:12] ---
    Sugar Rush!
[11:15] ---
    Go!
[11:20] ---
    I won't let you weld me, damn it!
[11:23] ---
    You don't have to be so mad about it!
[11:25] ---
    I'm leaving it to you!
[11:27] ---
    Got...
[11:28] ---
    ...it!
[11:32] ---
    When you guys are in danger,
    I'll save you!
[11:35] ---
    And when I'm in danger...
[11:39] ---
    Heartbeat Surround!
[11:42] ---
    ...you guys save me!
[11:53] ---
    Awase!
[11:56] ---
    And Bondo's over there!
[12:05] ---
    D-Dang it...!
[12:08] ---
    It's damn hard to fight in the winter!
[12:13] ---
    I'm finally warmed up!
[12:19] ---
    I've captured him!
[12:22] ---
    What quick teamwork!
[12:24] ---
    They captured two of
    my dear students in an instant!
[12:29] ---
    I thought he was a tyrant
    who couldn't work with others!
[12:32] ---
    This isn't him mellowing out...
[12:35] ---
    Bakugo!
[12:38] ---
    Bakugo acts on his own,
[12:41] ---
    and the rest of them support him.
[12:42] ---
    Find a small opening in that...
[12:45] ---
    ...and widen it slowly
    until they break down.
[12:49] ---
    That was the plan, anyway!
[12:56] ---
    X-Catapult!
[13:02] ---
    What's with this perfect team?
[13:05] ---
    "Ochaco Uraraka - Quirk: Zero Gravity"
[13:06] ---
    It's because he trusts Jiro and
    the others that he can leave it to them!
[13:10] ---
    Being in the band helped, huh?
[13:12] ---
    And being a drummer!
[13:18] ---
    Tokage's Quirk lets
    her split her body into 50 pieces
[13:21] ---
    and move them at will.
[13:23] ---
    The parts that leave her stop moving
    after a certain amount of time
[13:26] ---
    and she regenerates them on her main body.
[13:30] ---
    I'm guessing about the next part,
[13:33] ---
    but I don't think
    she can regenerate indefinitely.
[13:37] ---
    Like Yaoyorozu,
[13:39] ---
    when she's tired,
    she probably loses focus, right?
[13:43] ---
    If she split as much as
    she could to make noise,
[13:48] ---
    then doesn't that mean it'll
    be harder for her to regenerate?
[13:52] ---
    So wouldn't she bring
    some back to her body
[13:56] ---
    to reset the time they can move and
    her own stamina so she can regenerate?
[13:58] ---
    Jiro said it sounded
    like there were fewer,
[14:00] ---
    but that must mean that I'm right!
[14:08] ---
    That was close!
[14:13] ---
    Y-You...
[14:17] ---
    ...changed too much!
[14:24] ---
    I haven't changed.
[14:26] ---
    My goal's always been the same--
[14:30] ---
    To surpass All Might and
    become the number one hero.
[14:35] ---
    Oh my... Oh my...
[14:40] ---
    "Welcome!!!"
[14:40] ---
    It didn't even take five minutes...
[14:44] ---
    With unexpected teamwork,
    Class A wins with a perfect 4-0!

[15:02] ---
    You didn't do any more
    damage than you needed to,
[15:04] ---
    and you secured them
    quickly after you captured them.
[15:07] ---
    With Bakugo as the focus with his
    exceptional mobility and combat ability,
[15:10] ---
    the three of you also
    provided good support.
[15:14] ---
    It was a solid plan taking
    into consideration past data
[15:17] ---
    and your difference in combat ability.
[15:19] ---
    But you were too stuck in your plan and
    needed to be more flexible, like Honenuki!
[15:24] ---
    I'm sorry I made you all look lame, too...
[15:27] ---
    No, let's carve this loss into our hearts!
[15:30] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[15:31] ---
    If a guy who could do
    that much turns into a good boy,
[15:34] ---
    there's no weakness for us to exploit.
[15:35] ---
    Yeah, none.
[15:37] ---
    Nothing.
[15:40] ---
    Kacchan, you can do it if you try, huh?
[15:43] ---
    Jiro was totally like a heroine!
[15:46] ---
    I'm a hero, though.
[15:47] ---
    It was like a delinquent
    taking care of a stray cat.
[15:50] ---
    I'm human, though.
[15:58] ---
    I got chills.
[16:01] ---
    You catch a cold or something?!
[16:04] ---
    Kacchan!
[16:05] ---
    Move, scum!
[16:07] ---
    I'm not in your way, though...
[16:10] ---
    "Izuku Midoriya - Quirk: One For All"
[16:12] ---
    I'm moving forward.
[16:14] ---
    Yeah, it was amazing!
[16:17] ---
    I'm moving so fast you
    won't be able to catch up.
[16:21] ---
    I'll go faster.
[16:23] ---
    Shut up! Is that what
    you came here to say?!
[16:26] ---
    I won't let you beat me.
[16:29] ---
    Stupid scum trash!
[16:32] ---
    Just watch.
[16:37] ---
    You have a good childhood friend.
[16:41] ---
    Damn it!
[16:42] ---
    If only he spoke more politely...
[16:47] ---
    "Hitoshi Shinso - Quirk: Brainwashing"
[16:52] ---
    Th-That raging hysterical explosive guy...
[16:56] ---
    ...was pretty great...
[16:58] ---
    Monoma, sorry.
[17:01] ---
    With one win, two losses, and one draw,
[17:03] ---
    Class B can't win anymore.
[17:06] ---
    What are you apologizing for, Tokage?
[17:08] ---
    Our immature compatriot
    reflected on his actions and grew.
[17:12] ---
    It's a good thing.
[17:14] ---
    It's true that Class B can't win anymore,
[17:17] ---
    but we haven't lost yet!
[17:19] ---
    I just want people
    to understand, you know?
[17:22] ---
    Between hardworking students
    who never cause trouble,
[17:25] ---
    and those who get undeserved attention
    because they're conspicuous in a bad way--
[17:30] ---
    Whose path is correct?
[17:32] ---
    Everyone is a side character
    in other people's lives,
[17:36] ---
    but the protagonist of their own lives!
[17:41] ---
    "Reiko Yanagi - Quirk: Poltergeist"
[17:41] ---
    So? What should we do?
[17:43] ---
    Don't say "So?" like that!
[17:44] ---
    "Nirengeki Shoda - Quirk: Twin Impact"
[17:45] ---
    I think we should do something
    similar to Tokage's team.
[17:49] ---
    Our teams are similar balance-wise, too.
[17:53] ---
    We have a team of people
    with technical Quirks,
[17:56] ---
    so it would be better for us to hide
    ourselves and attack while we're hidden.
[17:59] ---
    Above all, we've got five people.
[18:02] ---
    There's no merit in turning it
    into a close combat fight.
[18:05] ---
    But looking at the fight just now,
    don't you think Midoriya's spooky?
[18:10] ---
    "Spooky"?
[18:12] ---
    She means "scary."
[18:14] ---
    Oh.
[18:18] ---
    Midoriya, huh?
[18:20] ---
    Looking at mobility and combat ability,
[18:23] ---
    he's the same or
    better than Bakugo, right?
[18:26] ---
    And apparently, he's also learned
    a long-distance attack recently.
[18:30] ---
    If we break even a little,
[18:32] ---
    it'll end up like the last match.
[18:34] ---
    He'll be able to break through.
[18:37] ---
    Then, we'll make
    Midoriya our top priority.
[18:41] ---
    No matter what, we'll take Midoriya first.
[18:44] ---
    But he was able to break out of
    my Brainwashing on his own before.
[18:48] ---
    But if used in conjunction
    with Monoma's Quirk,
[18:51] ---
    I think we can take him.
[18:54] ---
    It's scary if you single me out like that.
[18:57] ---
    "Yui Kodai - Quirk: Size"
[18:57] ---
    It's possible that it'll be
    a blank on my end.
[19:00] ---
    "Blank"?
[19:01] ---
    Meaning he won't be able
    to copy it with his Quirk.
[19:04] ---
    Well, we won't be able to do anything
    unless we stop him, anyway.
[19:09] ---
    We're counting on you, Shinso.
[19:13] ---
    The final, fifth match.
[19:15] ---
    I wonder how Shinso's doing...
[19:18] ---
    This groundwork will determine if he'll be
    able to transfer into the hero course...
[19:23] ---
    He already showed that he could
    hold his own in the first match,
[19:27] ---
    but whether or not
    the same trick will work...
[19:30] ---
    Yeah.
[19:31] ---
    The Class A team's pretty strong, too.
[19:34] ---
    I hope he does well.
[19:37] ---
    Anyway, we should just start
    by going after Shinso, right?
[19:40] ---
    "Minoru Mineta - Quirk: Pop Off "
[19:41] ---
    I'm kind of getting worried now...
[19:43] ---
    I don't wanna get brainwashed!
[19:45] ---
    "Mina Ashido - Quirk: Acid"
[19:46] ---
    Don't get too hung up
    about just that part.
[19:48] ---
    The other team is filled with people
[19:50] ---
    who can attack from anywhere
    without giving away their location.
[19:54] ---
    We make things...
[19:56] ---
    Float!
[19:56] ---
    Melt!
[19:57] ---
    Stick!
[20:03] ---
    We're at a disadvantage...
[20:04] ---
    Yeah...
[20:06] ---
    We can't lie in wait... We can't attack...
[20:10] ---
    All right!
[20:11] ---
    We should go with my
    Pop Off Vineyard Operation here!
[20:15] ---
    No one's going to fall for that.
[20:18] ---
    Anyway, we should find them first
    and make them fall for our trap!
[20:23] ---
    I'll be the bait!
[20:25] ---
    Deku...!
[20:27] ---
    How? Didn't you say
    your Quirk was acting weird?
[20:32] ---
    Yeah.
[20:34] ---
    It's totally fine now.
[20:37] ---
    But after being shown that fourth match,
[20:40] ---
    I think the other team
    will be on guard around me.
[20:43] ---
    I need to move even more than usual!
[20:46] ---
    Will you be okay?
[20:48] ---
    We're counting on you!
[20:51] ---
    Don't worry,
[20:54] ---
    we can definitely win this!
[20:59] ---
    --Yeah!
    --Whoo-hoo!
[21:01] ---
    You were less sure of yourself before...
[21:06] ---
    Everything feels normal.
[21:09] ---
    I'm moving forward.
[21:13] ---
    I'm moving so fast you
    won't be able to catch up.
[21:17] ---
    After hearing that,
[21:20] ---
    I can't embarrass myself!
[21:27] ---
    Now, for the fifth match--
[21:36] ---
    It's the last match of the day!
[21:39] ---
    Are you ready?
[21:41] ---
    Do your best until the end!
[21:47] ---
    Start!
[23:19] ---
    "Preview"
[23:21] ---
    Here's the preview!
[23:22] ---
    We're finally starting the last
    match of the team combat training.
[23:26] ---
    Class A will win if we tie or win.
[23:29] ---
    But we can't let our guard down.
[23:31] ---
    The Class B team has Shinso
[23:33] ---
    and also Monoma, who can copy Quirks.
[23:36] ---
    I'm the key to our victory.
[23:38] ---
    I'll do it!
[23:40] ---
    Next time, "That Which Is Inherited."
[23:42] ---
    In the middle of the fight, something
    strange starts happening inside me.
[23:45] ---
    "Next time: That Which Is Inherited"
[23:46] ---
    Go beyond!
[23:48] ---
    Plus Ultra!
[23:50] ---
