Without using my damn old man's Quirk...
No...
I'll reject him completely by winning first place without using it.
You want to win with just half your strength?!
You haven't put a single scratch on me yet, you know!
Come at with me with everything you've got!
Why are you going so far?
Because I want to live up to everyone's expectations...
I want to be able to smile... and respond to them...
To be a cool hero...
That's what I want to be!
I will reject...
...my old man's power...
It's your power, isn't it?!
I want... to be a hero, too...!
Try to get close...
...and give him everything I've got!
Midoriya...
Thanks.
Midoriya is out of bounds...
Todoroki advances to the third round!
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
Midoriya was eliminated in the quarterfinals, huh?
He egged the other guy on only to be defeated...
You mean he didn't have a plan? He was just provoking him?
Did he want to beat Todoroki, or lose to him?
Either way, that was some crazy power...
But he can't be a pro hero if he's injured every time he attacks.
He attacked despite that, though.
He's got spirit.
I thought he was an interesting kid until the cavalry battle, though...
"You're in my way."
You're not going to say that?
You need to control your left side...
You're just letting it all out, and it's dangerous.
But you have abandoned your childish tantrum and finally become a perfect upgrade of me.
After you graduate, come work for me.
I'll lead you down the path of the mighty.
There's no way I can abandon anything.
It's not something that can be so easily reversed.
It's just... back then...
For that one moment...
...I forgot about you.
Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing...
Whether it is correct or not...
I need to think about it.
"Fight on, Iida"
"Recovery Girl's Temporary Nurse's Office"
The bones in your right arm were shattered...
It'll never be the same as it was before.
I need to remove the pieces of bone to make sure they don't stay in your joints.
I'll heal you after that.
To push and light a fire under a child
who would destroy his body this much for what he yearns for...
I don't like it.
You're going too far. You, and this boy.
You can't praise him for this.
--Midoriya! --Deku!
--You scared me... --Are you okay?!
Oh, nice to meet you...
Yeah...
You're all so noisy.
Everyone... what about the next match?
Since there was a lot of damage to the stage, they're taking a break to repair it.
That match earlier was scary, Midoriya...
What pro's gonna want that?
I don't like your style of rubbing salt into his wound.
But it's true!
Be quiet, now!
I know you're worried, but I've got to do surgery now.
Surgery?!
Go on now, get out of here.
--B-But-- --Surgery's a big deal, isn't it?
--Will his injuries be completely healed? --Don't worry about that. Just leave it to me!
Ribbit...
I'm sorry...
I couldn't do what you asked...
I want you to tell the world "I am here!"
If only I hadn't said anything...
It's because I said that to Todoroki...
...that I...
You were trying to get him to realize something...
It's true... Todoroki looked so sad...
...that I meddled when I didn't need to...
But that's not it.
More importantly, back then, I was just...
...frustrated.
I couldn't see in front or around me...
I'm sorry...
It's true that it is a regrettable result.
Saying what you did was foolish won't change that.
But you know, meddling when you don't need to...
...is the essence of being a hero.
Recipro... burst!
Shiozaki, out of bounds!
Iida wins!
Dark Shadow!
Got it!
Ashido is out of bounds!
Tokoyami wins!
He won in an instant, too?
Tokoyami's Dark Shadow is amazing.
Ribbit?
Are you worried about Midoriya?
She said she had to do surgery...
Recovery Girl's taking care of it, so you've got nothing to worry about!
He's right.
Yeah.
"Recovery Girl's Temporary Nurse's Office" "Surgery in Progress"
I've healed you enough to allow you to walk for now.
Thank you very much...
That's what you get for overusing it so much in a short period of time.
You should think of that crooked right hand as a warning.
In addition, I will not heal injuries like this anymore.
You must find a way for him to use his power in a way that is not so self-destructive.
A different way, huh...?
All Might.
You originally became a teacher at U.A. to find a successor, right?
Yeah.
Putting everything I had into the U.A. sports festival,
I could physically feel everyone's strong emotions of not wanting to give in.
So I...
...think that someone else should be my successor?
Yes.
It's true that this place is filled with wonderful potential heroes.
One For All is the crystallization of power.
For those who have Quirks...
For example, if Young Todoroki were to inherit it,
then with the super strength on top of his Half-Cold, Half-Hot,
he would probably become a superhero.
--Then-- --But you know,
I was Quirkless, too.
Quirkless...? You were...?
It wasn't as rare as for your generation, but it was still uncommon.
My master had a Quirk,
but even so, my master believed in me and gave One For All to me,
and raised me to become a hero.
You never told me tha--
Because you never asked.
Even though I thought you would.
All Might... you were Quirkless, too...?
Yeah!
At first, I saw the old me in you.
But you have gone beyond what I imagined, time and time again.
There is something that only you can draw out.
I believe that.
I'm sorry...
Anyway, the sports festival isn't over yet, kid!
Make sure you watch until the end!
Okay!
"Player Waiting Room 1"
Hello, Tensei? It's me, Tenya...
I am currently on a mission and cannot answer the phone.
Tensei...
Do your best.
Squad A, go north!
Squad B, check the west side!
Squad A, roger!
Squad B, roger!
What's that?
There's no doubt about it.
It's him!
I've found him!
The Hero Killer!
Take this!
A counter!
That won't work on me, Explosion Boy!
He's not budging...
There's more to him than Hardening.
Kirishima, get his chin! His chin!
--Yesterday's enemy is today's friend. --His chin!
Kirishima and Kacchan...
Which means...
Iida and Tokoyami have advanced to the next round.
Aw, I knew it... I wish I could've seen it.
Bakugo's having a hard time fighting back against Kirishima's fierce attack!
Kacchan's on the defensive?
Kirishima's Quirk is simple, but that's what makes it strong.
Midoriya!
I see your surgery went well.
I'm glad!
Yeah, thanks.
And congrats, Iida.
I made it to the semifinals.
I'm going to use your fight against Todoroki and learn from it.
Okay.
Is your big brother, Ingenium, watching your progress, too?
I called him earlier, but he was working.
Oh, so you called him.
But I think that was for the best.
Now that I've made it this far, I need to be able to tell him I'm number one.
He is a likable hero who honors the rules and leads people.
I set my sights on being a hero because I want to be like my brother.
Bakugo counters again!
What's this?
Unlike before, it's working?!
You've been straining to keep your whole body rock-hard this whole time, right?
If you attack quickly in that state,
sooner or later, it'll start coming apart!
You little--
The finishing blow!
Die...!
Well, I understand why you wouldn't want a drawn-out match with me, though.
Kirishima is immobilized!
Bakugo wins!
You idiot!
You didn't have enough guts, Kirishima!
With that vicious carpet-bombing, Bakugo advances to the third round!
And that completes the final four!
All right. I'm off!
Deku!
Midoriya, your surgery went well?
Yeah.
She healed me enough to walk.
Shouldn't you be resting...?
I want to properly watch--
the efforts of everyone who wants to become a hero.
The first match of the semifinals!
With both of them from hero families, it's a battle of the elites!
From the hero course, it's Tenya Iida!
Versus--
Also from the hero course, Shoto Todoroki!
I can't negate the attacks like Midoriya did!
If he can use his flames now, then he has more options.
In that case...
"Shoto Todoroki" "Tenya Iida"
Start!
He's not planning on giving me any time, huh?
Oh, Iida's been surrounded!
Todoroki's going in for the win right away!
Wow, a standing long jump!
Recipro...
...burst!
I have about ten seconds before my engines stall!
I have to win it in that time!
A direct hit!
He got a pretty heavy hit in!
That kick was way too fast!
Eight seconds left! I can do it!
I'll throw him out of bounds like thi--
My muffler's plugged...?!
When did that happen?
During the kick...
Since I was only showing attacks with range,
you forgot that I could do little tricks like this, too, didn't you?
I was trying to be careful of your Recipro, though.
But I still couldn't dodge it.
Iida is immobilized!
Todoroki wins!
Todoroki advances to the final without showing his flames!
I need to think about it.
Are you hesitating? Fool.
Iida...
Tensei...
Fame... Money...
They're all calling themselves heroes...
"Tenya" "Missed Call"
But you bastards aren't heroes...
Just him...
The only one I'll let kill me...
...is All Might.
Match two of the semifinals!
Bakugo versus Tokoyami!
Bakugo's rush is unstoppable!
That thing is so annoying!
That viciousness...
Tokoyami has advanced this far with his almost invincible Quirk,
but this time he's completely focused on defense!
Tokoyami, what's going on?
You attacked so much when you were up against us!
There must be a reason...
Dark Shadow can't switch to the offensive with the light from the explosions...
It's the worst match-up...
The weakness he shared with us...
If Kacchan doesn't know about it yet, then he still has a chance.
I underestimated him.
I don't have any time to recharge Dark Shadow's darkness.
If I run out of darkness, it'll be over!
Is he trying to wear me down?
He's getting faster and faster!
Grab him, Dark Shadow!
Wow, Bakugo gets behind Tokoyami!
Stun Grenade!
Hey, everything's covered in smoke!
What happened?
Did you know...
...Dark Shadow's weakness?
I figured it out after attacking over and over, moron.
Well, it was a bad match-up. I feel bad for you.
Checkmate.
I give up.
Tokoyami gives up!
Bakugo wins!
With this, the final match will be between Todoroki and Bakugo!
It's too bad about Tokoyami...
I thought Tokoyami would win.
I guess this means he isn't invincible.
So light is his weakness, huh? I see...
Bakugo likes to go after stuff like that...
You picked a fight with someone outrageous, huh?
Naw, he was just lucky his Quirk was so good against his opponent.
It ended up being a Class A paradise, huh?
Damn it.
It doesn't matter who won or lost. This year's first years are all amazing!
"Final" "Shoto Todoroki" "Katsuki Bakugo"
I wonder what'll happen in a match between those two...
We'll have to watch carefully and get our revenge next time.
Iida!
Whoa, what is it?!
My phone.
His phone, huh?
Mother?
Hello? Regretfully, I lost, Mother. I was weak...
No, it's not about that.
Oh, sorry.
Tenya, please listen calmly.
Tensei... your brother... A villain got him!
You guys haven't even noticed
this warped society covered with hypocrisy and vanity.
To all who are called heroes...
...I will make you notice.
Please stay calm.
We are of the same mind.
I have been looking for you, Hero Killer Stain.
I have heard of your notoriety and wanted to meet you.
May I have a moment of your time?
Hero Killer...
...Stain.
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
"Preview"
The preview is here!
The U.A. sports festival is finally at its climax!
The final will be a match between Young Todoroki and Young Bakugo, huh?
Who do you think will win, Young Midoriya?
Well, Kacchan has an all-purpose Quirk that can be used for attacking and moving,
and he's clever enough to come up with tactics and strategy...
--However... --Sorry! It's my fault for asking!
Okay, tell us the title!
Oh, next time, it's "Todoroki vs. Bakugo"!
Young Bakugo is seduced by female charms and goes beddy-bye!
Go beyond!
"Next time: Todoroki vs. Bakugo"
