The world has become a superhuman society,
and about 80% of the world's population now has some kind of special trait.
In this world swirling with chaos,
the profession that everyone once dreamed about and admired
came into the limelight.
Heroes of justice fighting villains and saving people from distress.
Yes, this is the story of how I became the greatest hero.
That plane flew over our heads so close
I don't know why I remember that so brightly
The night I cried so helplessly
I longed for strength and
I was looking for the courage I needed
If this cruel fate is decided and
It confronts me someday
Right now, just right now I can only breathe
Nothing matters, my heart says
Once more go further and further
Someone in me singing
No matter what happens
It's for you, always shedding the tears
Never to be sad and smile
This is the song to be a HERO
Farewell and put up your peace sign
Keep rollin' our never ending story
The second round of the U.A. sports festival first-year stage is...
...a cavalry battle with the top 42 from the qualifier!
Izuku Midoriya, who placed first in the qualifier, is worth ten million points!
It's survival of the fittest, with a chance for those at the bottom to overthrow the top!
Bakugo and Todoroki aren't the only ones who see you as a rival.
I will challenge you.
Uraraka.
Yes!
Hatsume.
Tokoyami.
Yeah.
I'm counting on you!
I know!
Tokoyami!
Call me Tsu!
Kacchan!
Don't get carried away!
Damn it!
Tokoyami!
I'll be taking that now.
"Cavalry Battle Finale"
It was a good plan, so I joined the team even though it was you.
When did you lose your headband?
I don't know!
But now, there's nothing left to lose!
Shoji, full attack mode!
We're gonna steal the points from those two teams with everything we've got!
I thought we would not have a confrontation until later in this contest.
He seems to think highly of you, Midoriya.
Only half the time is left!
Don't stop moving.
Iida, forward!
Right!
Yaoyorozu, prepare to guard us and conduct electricity.
Right.
Kaminari, you--
I know what I have to do!
Watch our surroundings.
It's not just one group coming for us!
Make sure you guard well...
Indiscriminate Shock...
...1.3 Million Volts!
Kaminari...!
Less than six minutes left.
We can't back down now.
Sorry, but you'll just have to bear it.
What? What'd he do?
Todoroki took care of that crowd of teams in an instant!
He froze them after Kaminari's shock stopped them...
I guess it should be expected,
but he took into account how a lot of people avoided it in the obstacle course.
Nice commentary!
I might as well take these.
--Damn it! --What? Mine, too?
The backpack's acting up?
Baby! There's room for improvement!
Oh no, they're too strong!
We can't get away!
I'll restrain them!
Yaoyorozu!
Yaoyoruzu's Creation is too hard to deal with!
No...
Kaminari is worse.
With that level of armor,
if it had been sunlight, Dark Shadow would've been ripped apart.
Right!
In any case, I want you to devote yourself to defense.
You don't have to attack.
So...
Interesting.
My Quirk's offensive ability increases the darker it is,
but it becomes fierce and difficult to control.
On the other hand, under sunlight, it becomes possible to control,
but its offense becomes below average.
To tell me I didn't have to attack with my Quirk without knowing that...
It's a very unique choice, under the circumstances.
Very well. Try using me.
I leave it to you, Midoriya.
I see... Kaminari's lightning...
As long as he keeps discharging electricity,
attacking will be difficult.
Dark Shadow will become timid.
I'm against violence...
Team Midoriya has nowhere left to go!
Decreased offense...
They don't know that, do they?
I don't believe so.
The only person I've told about this weakness is Koda, at USJ,
and he is a man of few words.
If they don't know about it, then we can use it to hold them back.
It's fine.
No matter what, we will hang on to the ten million!
Class A is too simple-minded.
He got us!
What'd you say, bastard?
Give that back! I'll kill you!
You're famous, aren't you?
As the victim of the sludge incident!
Tell me about it sometime--
About how it feels to be attacked by villains once a year.
Kirishima... change of plan...
Monoma, don't provoke him!
You'll be the same as him.
That's right. It wouldn't become a hero.
Besides, don't you often hear
about heroes who get done in by villains who want revenge?
Bakugo, calm down!
If you don't calm down, we won't be able to get the points back!
Forward, Kirishima!
Right now,
I'm totally calm!
We're seriously counting on you!
Go...!
Die...!
Wow, what a nice Quirk!
That's my--
Bakugo, someone has the same Quirk as you, too?
Damn it!
Really, such nice Quirks.
Mine's better, though.
Wha...? Mine?
The same again...?
No.
This guy copied them.
That's right!
"Neito Monoma" "Quirk: Copy"
He can use the Quirks of anyone he touches as much as he wants for five minutes.
He can't use two at the same time, though!
Well, even an idiot can figure it out, huh?
"Now!"
"Okay!"
Bondo! Picking a fight, huh?
Monoma, we just have to keep from getting caught now.
"Go!"
With this many points, we'll definitely make it into the top four!
--After them! --It's solidifying!
Wow! I can't move!
Wait a sec!
I'll melt it with my Quirk!
Hurry!
We've got zero points right now! Hurry!
Oh, don't get mad at me.
You're the one who provoked us, right?
What did you say for the pledge again?
That embarrassing thing... Let me think...
Oh well, you've done enough for today!
I'll be number one.
Number one. Not just first place.
I'll take an indisputable first place!
One minute left!
Todoroki made it so he'd have the ten million to himself to seize in an instant!
At least, that's what I thought five minutes ago!
But unbelievably, Midoriya's been able to keep away in that cramped space for five minutes!
Hold!
You're doing good.
He can see right through you.
Fool.
He's keeping his distance, staying on the left side.
He's paying attention.
At this rate, if I want to freeze them over the shortest distance possible, I'll get Iida.
And if he keeps moving like this,
I'll do myself in if I freeze indiscriminately.
--I'm not... done yet... --And Tokoyami can defend against Kaminari's electricity.
One more minute.
The bastard...!
Everyone, there's less than a minute left.
You won't be able to use me after this.
I'm counting on you!
Iida?
Hang on tight.
Make sure you get it, Todoroki.
Torque Over--
Reciproburst!
Wha...?!
What happened? So fast! So fast!
Iida, if you could accelerate that fast, then show us in the prelims!
What was that?
By forcing the torque and rotations to increase, I created an explosive power.
With the recoil, my engine stalls after a while, though.
It's a secret move I hadn't told anyone in class yet.
I told you, didn't I, Midoriya?
That I'd challenge you.
The tables are turned!
Offense and defense right at the edge! Reining that in, Todoroki gets the ten million!
And Midoriya is suddenly left with zero points!
Get back in there!
As long as they have Kaminari, we'll be at a disadvantage if we attack!
Won't it be safer to try for other points right now?
No!
I don't know how the other points got split up!
This is our only chance!
All right!
We'll get it back, Deku! We definitely will!
Uraraka...
I'll definitely become a hero and make money
and let my parents take it easy.
That's right...
Let me use your position!
It's not just me.
I leave it to you, Midoriya.
The feelings of the three...
...who trust in me...
I'm carrying all that right now!
With less than a minute left,
Todoroki currently has four headbands!
He's wrested away the top spot from Midoriya, who was running away like crazy!
Will these be the top four teams to move on to the next round?!
Second, huh? We might've done a little too well for ourselves.
Anyway, focus on keeping that spot.
Wait!
I said, wait!
Jeez, so persistent.
As a hero, not to mention as a person, that persistence will--
Don't act on your own, Bakugo!
Tsuburaba!
Guard!
Hey!
Yes!
"Kosei Tsuburaba" "Quirk: Solid Air"
The size depends on lung capacity!
You can't see this wall!
Serves you right!
He took two!
Team Bakugo seizes two headbands to move to third place!
The rankings keep changing in the final stages!
It's the passion of youth!
Tsunotori!
Damn it!
It's fine. We're in fourth!
Kendo's been frozen and can't move.
Yeah... As long as we defend this one to the death,
we'll definitely...
I told you to say something if you're gonna jump!
But this means we'll definitely get through to the next round--
Not yet!
What?!
We're gonna get an indisputable first place!
Monoma...
Class B's strategy was certainly reasonable and good.
But there's just one thing that is unfortunate...
I couldn't brace myself enough earlier on my own!
Go!
We'll get our points back, too, and then go for the ten million!
Jeez...
Flat Face! Tape!
It's Sero!
You missed!
Raccoon Eyes!
Lay down a weak dissolving solution in the direction we're going!
My name's Mina Ashido!
Young Bakugo, you understand very well without being told, don't you?
Those who are always aiming for the top,
and those who aren't.
Their difference...
You didn't take the difference in tenacity into consideration, did you?
Bakugo is merciless!
If he's gonna do it, he's gonna be thorough!
He's, you know, a perfectionist!
Now, there are only seconds left!
Next! We're going to where Deku and Todoroki are!
It was the first time... I tried to use this power on a person...
It's fine. Either way, I'm not gonna hit him.
Like cutting through air...
...break down the opponent's defenses!
My left... What am I...?
It hurts, but it's not broken!
He's turned them inside out to hide the point values,
but he took the ten million last and put it on,
so it must be the one on top--
This one!
I got it...
I got it!
With just eleven seconds left, there's an angry retrieval here, too!
Wait a minute. Isn't this the wrong headband?
They got us!
Just in case, we changed the position of the headbands!
You were naïve, Midoriya!
Todoroki, get a hold of yourself!
That was close!
Oh no! Team Midoriya didn't retrieve the ten million points!
Seventy points...
...isn't good enough!
Time's just about up!
Start the countdown!
Tokoyami!
Kaminari!
Damn Deku!
Bakugo!
Huh...?
Uraraka!
Got it!
Yaoyorozu!
The ten million points are...?!
Half-and-Half Bastard!
Time's up!
That's the end of the second round, the cavalry battle!
Bakugo!
You okay?
Damn it.
Now, let's take a look at the top four teams right away!
In first place, Team Todoroki!
Even though we won, it felt like we were skating on thin ice.
Sorry...
I caused everyone trouble...
That's not true.
Without you, we would not have won.
In second place, Team Bakugo!
Ah, we were so close!
Well, second place isn't bad.
All's well that ends well.
Do you really think that's how he feels?
In third place, Tetsute- Huh? What, it's Team Shinso?!
When did you come from behind?!
Thanks for your hard work.
Deku?
Um... I'm really sorry...
Todoroki was clearly shaken by your first attack.
I had hoped to get the ten million points,
but things don't always go as you wish.
Even so, I got one.
I took the one on his head where his guard was the weakest.
Midoriya, this was thanks to the opening you created with your last spurt.
In fourth place, Team Midoriya!
These four teams...
...will advance...
...to the final round!
I won't use this to attack.
That's what I had decided, but I was overwhelmed...
I can't...
At this rate, I'll be doing what my old man wants...
Now, we'll take an hour's break for lunch before we start the afternoon festivities!
See ya!
Hey, Eraser Head, let's go grab food.
I'm going to sleep.
What happened?
Before I knew it, we had zero points, and it was over...
Could it be punishment...
...for taking the small one's points in such an indecent way?
My headband's gone!
I can't accept this!
How disappointing...
Mina, congratulations.
Well, Bakugo just let me join to use against Todoroki's ice,
so I don't know if it reflects my abilities.
Iida, I didn't know you had a special move like that! No fair!
It has nothing to do with fairness!
I just wasn't using it as intended.
"That was fun."
"I'm hungry."
Speaking of which, where is that Midoriya?
Where's Deku?
"Faculty and Student Entrance"
What did you want to talk about?
Hey!
Long time no see!
Let's have tea, Endeavor!
All Might...
Always fighting headwinds, why am I the only one?
Never did like lip service
Everything connects right now in this instant
I have to keep running to get closer to my dream
I won't find the answer just by looking up at the sky
Now is the time for us to prove that we are here
Another day of crying, more crying
We'll get through this, every time, I'll hold your hand (it'll be fine)
You're not alone! Not alone!
Shout out for the heart you will never give up
I won't run anymore
U.A. High School's sports festival!
The first years have finished their second game.
The sixteen next-generation heroes moving on to the final round have been decided!
"Izuku Midoriya"
Izuku...!
I'm so glad! You really worked hard...!
But... But just don't get injured...!
"Preview"
Midoriya, All Might has his eye on you, doesn't he?
I'm not trying to pry about that.
But I'm going to beat you.
Todoroki, why are you going so far--
I don't care what you are to All Might...
Your eyes are like ice!
I will go higher than you.
Even if you say that, there's a reason why I cannot lose!
Next time, "The Boy Born with Everything."
The Class A girls will cheer with cheers of cheerleading!
"Next time: The Boy Born with Everything"
