The prestigious U.A. High School, which claims many heroes.

Now in the hero course, I keep running toward my dream,

standing up to any challenge, to save people with a smile...

All to become the greatest hero!

Young Midoriya, I...

I've effectively retired.

I can't fight with this body anymore.

One For All's residual has vanished,

and I can't even keep my Muscle Form anymore.

But even so, you rush out every time no matter what I tell you!

No matter how many times I tell you, you keep destroying your body!

That's why, this time...

The fact that you got out of a predicament for the first time without injuries...

it made me truly happy.

From now on, I'll focus on raising you.

Let's keep working hard together.

All Might...

I...

All Might!

This place...

That's right, I'm not at home anymore.

Morning.

After being attacked twice by the League of Villains,

U.A. High School adopted a dorm system to protect its students.

A student dorm built in three days, a five minute walk from the school.

Its name is Heights Alliance.

It's here that our new lives begin, as we focus on becoming heroes.

I will definitely become one!

Because I inherited from All Might,

the One For All and his will!

"Create Those Ultimate Moves"

As I told you yesterday,

Class 1-A of the hero course will focus on getting those provisional licenses.

Yes, sir!

A hero license implies a great deal of responsibility regarding human life.

Naturally, the test to obtain one is very hard.

Even if it's provisional, it only has a 50% pass rate each year.

Even the provisional is that hard?

That's why from today, we will have each of you come up with at least two...

Ultimate Moves.

Ultimate Moves?

It sounds like school work, and yet...

Finally something superhero-ish!

Ultimate! Ergo, a move that ensures your victory.

A move ingrained so deep in your body that it becomes inimitable.

Combat means how much you can force what you're good at on your opponent.

Your moves represent yourselves.

A pro-hero that doesn't have an ultimate move is an endangered species.

We will tell you more as we shift to practice. We want to proceed logically.

Change into your uniforms and meet me in the Gamma Gym.

The Gamma Gym, also known as the "Training Dining Land", or TDL.

-What? -TDL doesn't seem good...

This is the facility I came up with.

We can prepare a specific terrain and other things suited for each student.

That's what the "dining" part means.

I see...

Please allow me to ask a question!

Why do we need to have ultimate moves to get the provisional license?

Please tell me why!

I'll tell you everything in order. Calm down.

The job of a hero is to save people from danger,

such as crimes, accidents, and disasters, whether they're natural or caused by man.

Naturally, the license exam will test how well you are able to do that.

Your skills in gathering information, decision-making,

how fast you move, and how well you fight,

as well as your communication skills, charisma, and qualities as a leader.

They test different attributes every year.

Among those, fight skills are especially important to your future as heroes.

If you are prepared, you won't have to worry.

Whether or not you have an ultimate move will greatly affect your test results.

To not be swayed by the situation and being able to act consistently.

These abilities will show how great your fighting skills truly are.

An ultimate move doesn't have to be an attack.

For example, Iida's Reciproburst.

That temporary burst of speed is a threat worthy of an ultimate move.

So that's good enough for an ultimate move?

I see. So we need to find something that makes us feel like,

"If I do that, I'll have the advantage and win"

Exactly.

Consider Kamui Woods, who played a big role in the fight the other day.

His move Lacquered Chain Prison is a perfect example of an ultimate move.

He restrains his adversaries before they can do anything.

We had to cancel the camp, but...

when we were trying to improve your Quirks,

that was part of the process for you to come up with an ultimate move.

So, until the next semester begins,

for the ten days or so until the end of summer vacation,

you'll have to come up with an ultimate move while improving your Quirks.

You'll have to endure intensive training!

Moreover, you should think about how to improve your costumes,

considering how your Quirks are developing and the nature of your moves.

You'll have to get through this with your "Plus Ultra" spirit.

-Are you ready? -Yes, sir!

This is getting exciting!

What should I do?

You move exactly as one expects of someone with a tail.

We should reexamine your basic fighting stance.

Yes!

So he means I'm too normal, huh?

Ultimate move! Acid from my hands!

What do you think?

So?

If you're going down that route, make a nozzle with your hands,

as to squeeze it out.

That's right.

Wow! My reach has extended!

Shall we focus on improving your acid shooting skills?

Try to create two things at once. Start with something simple.

Yes!

They're all making progress...

Why are you spacing out like that?

Oh, well, about the ultimate moves...

My arms are like time bombs now, so I can't use them that much...

Honestly, I can't think of an ultimate move right now.

It's true, in a way your Quirk is the definition of inconsistency.

If you still can't decide on your fighting style,

focus on developing your Quirk for today.

Yes, sir.

I see they're all working hard.

All Might.

I am...

...here! Though I wasn't called, but I had nothing to do at home, so...

No, please focus on getting better, in preparation for the next semester.

Hey, don't be so cold! It's the ultimate moves class, right?

Of course I'd love to see this.

I am a teacher too, you know.

Looks like he's having trouble...

Take this!

Feels good to go wild after a while!

Ectoplasm! It died! Give me another one!

-He's amazing. -Yes.

That guy will get even stronger.

Wow! Bakugo is really into it!

I guess he's got already a lot of ideas for his ultimate moves, huh?

He had move names already when we enrolled!

Focus!

Yes, sir!

I've got a move that I've been working on since I was kid. It's called Grape Rush.

I mean, everyone's thought about theirs at least once, right?

I thought about a electricity sword or something like that.

The fact that we can now do it for real is getting me so excited!

What kind of ultimate move can I perform with these arms?

Hey!

All Might!

A piece of advice for you.

You're still trying to imitate me.

What does that mean?

-Hey, Young Kirishima! -All Might!

I'll go around giving you some advice.

With your Hardening, it's better to come up with something straightforward

rather than doing something tricky.

Yes, sir!

I can't teach you something by simply telling you the answer.

You need to think, young man!

Whether or not you're right is not important.

Think and realize it by yourself. That's what matters.

Young Jiro! I'm going around giving some advice.

What's up with him, all of a sudden...

"You can be a teacher even if you're really dumb!"

Regarding the improvement of your costumes,

it's no use trying to do things outside of your area of expertise.

If there's something you want to tinker with,

head to the laboratory on the school's ground floor

and consult a specialist.

DEVELOPMENT STUDIO

You're still trying to imitate me.

I still can't really understand why All Might said those words,

but anyway, it'd be bad if my arms stopped working.

If I had something that could support my arms when I move them...

I need to work out my body to increase how much I can use One For All.

From the idea to the completion of my ultimate move,

I can't keep falling behind everyone.

No, I need to be at the top!

I see! So you're focusing on making your own body float.

Yes! If I work out more,

I can also make better use of the moves I learned at my internship!

What about you, Iida?

I want to lighten the demerits of my Recipro.

I want to ask the development studio to improve the radiator.

Hey, it's Deku! I though he wasn't here...

Don't run in the corridors!

Are you here to improve your costume, too?

Uraraka--

You shouldn't build everything that comes to mind, you know?

Failure is the mother of invention, Mr. Power Loader!

Those are Thomas Edison's words, you know.

Even if what I've built doesn't work as planned, it doesn't mean it's useless.

I'm not talking about that!

You have to listen to me, at least this one time.

Hatsume!

When did you get here?

B...

oobs!

"Izuku Midoriya Quirk: One For All"

"Mei Hatsume Quirk: Zoom"

I'm sorry for the sudden explosion!

Long time no see! You are...

I forgot all of your names.

I'm Izuku Midoriya...

I'm Tenya Iida! The man you used as an advertising tower at the sports festival!

I see! Well, I'm busy with my babies' development, so...

Wait, please!

I wanted to ask Mr. Power Loader about improving my costume...

Improving your costume?

-I'm interested! -Hatsume!

It's fine that you come in and out of the studio since the dorm system is in place,

but if you keep wreaking havoc like this, I'll have to banish you.

Eraser Head already told me.

You're here to change your costumes to better suit your ultimate moves.

Come inside.

Looks like a secret base!

Now, show me the instruction manual for your costume.

The one included in the case, you know?

I have a costume production license, so I'll modify the parts using that.

For small changes, I can just report them to the design company,

and they'll manage the paperwork.

But for big changes, we'll have to fill out an application

and ask the company to do it.

Then, the government will inspect the new costume, and once it's approved,

it will come back here.

Well, the inspection office we work with is the best,

so they will be back in about three days.

Um, I was wondering about a way I could lessen the strain on my arms' ligaments...

Is that possible?

Midoriya, you...

You fight with your fists and fingers, right?

If so, it'll be possible to do pretty quickly,

with some slight tinkering.

-That's great, Deku! -Yeah!

Yes, now I see...

Hatsume, what are you?

I'm touching his body, as you can see.

You're more solid than you look!

Very nice. You can use...

My baby I'd been saving, a powered suit!

This high-tech baby can sense the contraction of your muscles

and support your movements!

It's my 49th baby!

I just wanted a support for my arms, but...

-Start! -Wow, amazing! It's moving on its own!

Wait...

-My back! -Deku!

Stop! Looks like I made some mistakes in the movement program...

Sorry!

Are you okay?

All I asked for was something to support my arms,

but my torso got nearly twisted off...

This could be useful as an item to restrain someone.

I wanted to enhance the cooling system for my legs...

If that's what you want...

this baby right here!

These are electric boosters with an extremely capable cooling system!

My 36th baby.

No, I don't need new boosters, Hatsume...

Boosters, on!

Hey!

Iida!

My Quirk's in the legs, you know...

I know! But I think...

If you want your legs to cool down, you should run with your arms!

You're still trying to imitate me.

It's like...

I'm sorry. She's incredibly self-centered.

-We know that very well. -Yes.

But, well, if you are all aspiring heroes,

you should treasure your relationship with her.

She'll probably take care of you when you're pros.

Look at that.

That heap of junk.

Those are all the support items she built since she enrolled.

Even when the school is closed, she comes here to tinker with something.

I've seen many students in the support course,

but Hatsume's really something else.

It's only been four months since the school started,

but she already made this many...

Common sense is the collection of prejudices we acquire by age 18.

These are Einstein's words.

Without fear of failure, she's constantly thinking of new ideas and experimenting.

Innovators are not bound by existing ideas.

You're still trying to imitate me.

Something...

Your admiration for All Might and your sense of duty are like shackles.

If you want to cool your legs, run with your arms!

I'm starting to see it!

Iida!

Can you teach me something?

I don't know what you mean but wait a second!

Maybe you didn't notice, but we haven't made progress on any of our costumes.

Oh, that's right!

Deku, your face has cleared up all of a sudden.

Is that so?

By the way, what part of your costume are you changing?

I want to reduce my nausea.

Is that so?

Then, what do you say about this?

What's that? Will it explode?

If you do this to this item...

-Something black is coming out! -Hatsume!

I'm sorry!

The training to create our ultimate moves continues.

TAMING IN PROGRESS

FOUR DAYS LATER

How are things going, Aizawa?

You're here again. So so, I guess.

Midoriya! Did you change your costume?

Yeah. It's a brace system that reduces the strain on my arms.

You should've used the chance to change your whole look.

Yours is boring, you know?

It's fine like this.

Congratulations! Maybe it's a bit too early, but...

I don't want to change the base, if possible.

-Cover me, Dark Shadow! -Got it!

By covering myself with Dark Shadow,

I can make up for my weaknesses regarding the physical combat.

I'll call it...

Abyssal Black Body!

Isn't that a bit hard to say?

Move names should be easy to pronounce.

Got it.

There are those who are finally solidifying their style...

and those who are already trying to create multiple moves.

I should focus the energy on only one point

and not the entire palm of my hand.

A.P. Shot!

I did it!

Young Bakugo shows amazing talent, as always...

Yes.

Above you!

Smash!

In all of All Might's ultimate moves, he generally uses his fists...

Since I inherited One For All, I thought I should also do the same...

It's so simple that I didn't even realize it.

If I'm uneasy with arms, I should use my legs!

One For All: Full Cowl. Shoot Style!

That's the right answer.

One For All: Full Cowl, Shoot Style!

And Costume Gamma!

With these two in hand, I take on the provisional hero license exam!

Next time, "The Test"!

Go beyond!

Plus Ultra!
