You're so lucky, Kacchan.
Your Quirk's so cool!
I hope I get mine soon, too.
No matter what Quirk you get, you'll never beat me.
He's just a pebble!
Until a little while ago,
he was just a pebble on the side of the road.
You've got a flashy Quirk there, don't you?!
Hey! You tricked me, didn't you?!
Was it fun tricking me all this time?!
Try and get me with it!
'Cause I'm better than you!
What the--?
Improvised special move...
...Comet Home Run!
You call that a home run?!
Retrieved!
From the start, you were...
I wasn't... going to use it...
Because I can't use it...
Because my body can't handle the impact...
Mr. Aizawa said so, too...
But...
...this was all...
...I could think of...
S-Someone told me...
You can become a hero...
That's why...
I'm going...!
5 a.m. and I hold my breath like the quiet is sinking into the air
Biting my nails on the emergency stairs
Which will tomorrow be?
The day has come
The night that will never end
The rain that will never stop
They exist in this good-for-nothing world
Isn't it a little strange?
I doze off and can't stay standing
It's not like I'm blaming you
Playing alone in a daydream
Will you even be embarrassed of what you imagine there?
Getting entangled in a maze, a maze
Will you say you will go even then?
The sound of the starting bell played by the small traveler
Don't know, don't know where you're going
Aren't you actually scared?
Each step you take is changing
The day has come
Indoor person-to-person combat training...
--Uraraka?! --Hero team...
...wins!
What the heck?
The losers are practically uninjured,
and the winners are on the ground...
They lost the battle, but won the war, huh?
This is training, though.
To the nurse's office.
I know.
My Fight...
Deku predicted it...
On top of that... he found a way to win the exercise...
You're an amazing person, so that's why I want to beat you!
I want to win and surpass you, you idiot!
Does that mean...
...even if we fought all-out...
...Deku would completely beat...?
Come back, Young Bakugo. It's time to review the results.
Whether you win or lose,
looking back and learning from your experiences is a part of life.
"Episode 8: Bakugo's Start Line"
"Person-To-Person Combat Training" "Battle 1 Review"
Well, even if I say that, the MVP for this battle was Young Iida!
It's not either of the winners, Ochaco or Midoriya?
Hmm, well... Why is that?
Does anyone know?
Yes, Mr. All Might.
That is because Iida adapted the most to the context of the training.
From watching the match,
it appears Bakugo acted on his own because of an obviously personal grudge.
And as Mr. All Might said earlier,
it is foolish to launch a large-scale attack indoors.
In the same way, taking into consideration the damage he received,
Midoriya's plan was also rash.
As for Uraraka...
She let her guard down mid-battle,
and her final attack was too reckless.
If she treated the papier-mâché as a real weapon,
she would not have been able to do something so dangerous.
Iida had prepared for his opponent's arrival
and assumed it would be a fight over the weapon,
which made him late in responding to the final attack.
The hero team only won because they took advantage of the fact that this was training.
They were practically breaking the rules.
Sh-She said more than I expected.
W-Well, Young Iida also has parts of him that could be more relaxed,
but well, that was correct!
"Start with the basics to develop depth of learning" "Devote oneself wholeheartedly"
Otherwise, we cannot become top heroes.
"Momo Yaoyorozu"
Momo Yaoyorozu.
One of four students admitted to the hero course based on recommendations.
All right everyone, let's change locations and start the second match.
Tackle this training after thinking about what we just talked about.
Yes, sir!
"Battle Building B"
Match two! Team B are the heroes, and Team I are the villains!
Ojiro.
I'm going to get serious.
I'll take off my gloves and boots, too!
O-Okay...
Hagakure, that's the correct decision as an invisible person,
but that's not great for a girl, morally speaking.
You can't look, okay?
I can't see you even if I tried.
Now, let's start the second indoor person-to-person combat training match!
"Mezo Shoji" "Quirk: Dupli-Arms"
He can create replicas of his own body parts on the tips of his tentacles.
One in the hall on the north side of the fourth floor.
The other is somewhere on the same floor...
They're barefoot...
The invisible one is coming to ambush and capture us, huh?
Go outside. It's dangerous.
I'm sure our opponents intend to fight a defensive battle...
...but that does not matter to me.
Owww... My feet!
Th-This Quirk is...
You can move if you want,
but the skin on your feet will come off, so you won't be able to fight your best.
He did not cause any damage to his teammate or the nuclear weapon,
and on top of that, he weakened the enemy.
He's so strong!
Hero team wins!
Heat?
It's-It's-It's hot!
Sorry.
The difference in our ability was too great.
"Shoto Todoroki" "Quirk: Half-Cold, Half-Hot"
He's another one of the four admitted to the hero course based on recommendations.
His Quirk is Half-Cold, Half-Hot.
He freezes with his right and burns with his left!
The range and temperature of his ability is unknown?!
What is he, a monster?!
W-Wow!
What's up with that Quirk?
As expected of someone who got in through recommendations.
All right, everyone gather round for a review of the second match.
Next, we will begin the third match!
Yes, sir!
"Battle Building C"
"Team J"
"Team H"
"Team C"
"Team G"
"Team F"
Yahoo!
Sorry, sorry!
Good work everyone!
We didn't have any major injuries other than Young Midoriya, either!
You guys took this on seriously!
You all did a good job for your first training!
To have such a proper class after Mr. Aizawa's class...
It's kind of anticlimactic...
We're free to have proper classes, as well!
Well then, I must review the results with Young Midoriya!
Change and return...
...to the classroom!
All Might's amazing!
Why was he in such a hurry?
So cool...
Young Bakugo is a mass of pride...
...and there's nothing more fragile than a heart that's swelled to bursting.
As his teacher, I must counsel him well.
But right now...
"Staff Only"
"Open | Close"
If I teach a class...
...I barely have enough time. Shit!
"Nurse's Office"
and he's already been in here three times!
Why didn't you stop him, All Might?
I apologize, Recovery Girl.
What are you apologizing to me for?
On top of his total exhaustion,
he was here just yesterday.
I can't treat him all at once.
I did first-aid treatment already,
so after the IV is finished, we can only wait for his body to heal slowly overnight.
Jeez, I know he's your favorite and that you passed on your powers to him,
but that doesn't mean you should spoil him!
There is nothing I can say to that.
Because I wanted to consider his feelings,
I hesitated to stop the training match.
Even so...
Will you please not talk about One For All so loudly?
Yes, yes, Mr. Natural-Born Hero. Mr. Symbol of Peace.
My injury and this form of mine are common knowledge
among the U.A. teachers and a certain group of pros,
but the secret of my Quirk, One For All,
is known only to you, the principal, a close friend, and Young Midoriya.
I know it's not like you want to rest on your laurels at the top,
but is being a "natural-born hero" or the "Symbol of Peace" really that important?
If I no longer am, then the superhuman society will be seized by evil.
This is the responsibility of those of us with this power.
If that's the case, then it's even more important for you to learn
what it means to guide someone.
Yes, ma'am.
You can become a hero.
Will you accept my power?
"One For All"...
Smash...!
Come, Young Midoriya.
This is your hero academia!
I have a lot to learn from here on out
in order to get closer to what I dream of becoming!
My "Deku" isn't always going to mean "useless"!
Kacchan,
my "Deku" means "You can do it!"
It's late afternoon...?
Are you awake?
That's all for today's treatment.
Come back again tomorrow, okay?
I ended up skipping my afternoon classes...
Mr. Aizawa's gonna wrap me in those bindings again...
Oh, Midoriya's here!
Good work!
Man, I don't know what you were saying during the match,
but you were fired up!
I can't believe you fought evenly with Bakugo, who was first in the entrance exam!
You did a good job dodging!
You guys did that in the first match, so the rest of us had to give it our all, too.
You were far from elegant, but--
You did a good job dodging!
H-Huh?
I'm Eijiro Kirishima.
We're all going over the training together right now.
I'm Hanta Sero.
I'm Yuga Aoya--
I'm Mina Ashido!
You did a good job dodging!
I'm Tsuyu Asui.
Call me Tsu.
I'm Sato!
Um... Er...
I'm Mineta!
--Where the heck did you pop out from? --I am Yuga Aoyama.
--You did terrible in the training. --I am a man who never stops shining.
You're too loud.
Tokoyami!
That desk is not a chair.
Get off immediately.
It's not that big a deal, is it?
Wh--?!
What's with those hands, anyway?
You people...
I cannot condone actions that disrespect the desks
the great men and women who are our upperclassmen once used!
You're too loud.
Iida never wavers, does he?
Hey, Uraraka, wanna grab a bite to eat sometime?
What do you like?
Mochi--
Wait, Deku, she didn't heal your injuries?
Oh, uh, it's because of how much stamina I have, and...
Huh?
Um, Uraraka, more importantly...
We all tried to stop him,
but he went home just now without saying anything.
Hey! You tricked me, didn't you?!
Was it fun tricking me all this time?!
You've got a flashy Quirk there, don't you?!
Kacchan!
What?
It's a secret I didn't even tell my mom...
But...
There's one thing I feel like I have to tell you.
My Quirk is something I received from someone else.
Huh?
I can't say who I got it from, though!
I won't say...
But it's like a story out of comic books, except it's true.
On top of that, I still can't control it properly.
It's just a borrowed power that I haven't made my own yet.
That's why...
...I tried to beat you without using it.
But in the end, I couldn't win and had to rely on it.
I've still got a long way to go...
That's why...
That's why--
One day, I will make this Quirk my own
and beat you with my own power!
I just came to tell him I didn't trick him.
What am I...?
What the hell is that?
"Borrowed power"?
You're talking nonsense.
What are you trying to do, make me out to be more of a fool than you already have?
Huh?
What are you trying to say?
Today, I lost to you...
That's all it was...
That's all...
As I watched the ice guy,
I thought, "I can't beat him"!
It is foolish to launch a large-scale attack indoors.
Damn it! I ended up agreeing with what that ponytail girl said!
Damn it! Damn it, damn it!
Hey, you too, Deku!
I'm just...
I'm just getting started!
You hear?
Here, I will become number one!
You won't beat me again, bastard!
There he is!
Young...
...Bakugo!
Just so you know, pride is important.
You definitely have the abilities needed to become a pro.
You still have a lot of--
Let go of me, All Might.
I can't walk.
I'll become a hero that surpasses even you without you telling me!
Huh?
Uh, right.
He's gotten over it.
It's hard being a teacher...
What was that?
The fated battle between men.
It looked like Midoriya was just giving excuses one-sidedly, though.
The fated battle between men!
Kacchan's fuse has been lit.
That doesn't change what I have to do.
I just have to chase after him.
Young Midoriya!
What were you talking about with Young Bakugo?
Um, we were, uh...
Hmm... I'm so curious. Why don't you tell me in detail?
U-Um, a-actually...
Between my mediocre self and the world that surrounds me
I form an image and grab on, but it's still so far away
I awoke from a dream where however often I got close, I slipped farther away
A city brimming with glimpses of dawn is speaking in whispers
Trembling, I'm searching the darkness for the meaning of life
Between my mediocre self and the world that surrounds me
I form an image and grab on, but it's still so far away
What must I discard in order to finally arrive there?
Again and again, I try crying out
But all I end up being is myself
Whether in dreams or in reality
I know I can get past this
It doesn't matter if I stumble
It doesn't matter if I cry
Because someday, everything
Will come up roses
A few days later, we would find out...
...how terrifying the truly cunning villains All Might warned us about were.
"All Might Becomes U.A. Teacher!" "Closes Agency Temporarily"
Did you see this?
It says he's a teacher...
Hey.
What do you think'll happen...
if the Symbol of Peace...
...is killed by villains?
"Next time"
All heroes have their starting point!
Next time, "Yeah, Just Do Your Best, Iida!"
A lot of stuff happens and Young Midoriya gets swept away in the crowd!
Look forward to it!
Go beyond!
"Next time: Yeah, Just Do Your Best, Iida!"
