Original subtitles

The prestigious U.A. High School that boasts of 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!

I see! Kick moves, huh?

Switching to legs 'cause your arms are unstable!

I like that kind of thinking!

If that's the case, I'll build you some super cute leg-parts babies right now!

Um, I don't feel like changing the design of my costume too much though...

A good designer can satisfy his client's all reckless and ignorant demands!

Mr. Power Loader! If my idea is good, you will use it, right?

If it's good, we will.

Seems like it's already settled...

But if your legs become your selling point,

you'll have to adapt to being a zippy hero like Iida!

I see...

With his stature and weight, Iida is like an armored tank with an F1 engine.

To fight at the same level of someone like him...

Wait a minute! I have a power-up move called Full Cowl!

I can power-up my whole body using that...

Oh! In that case, we can make this pretty quick!

FOUR DAYS LATER

New move..

AP Shot!

I did it!

A-Above you!

I got the idea for Full Cowl from Gran Torino and Kacchan.

Its essence is that of quick, small and precise movements.

In order to preserve that essence,

I need the smallest of equipment with the maximum possible effect!

Braces for arm-support,

and metal soles that can act as cleats of armor!

Smash...

This is the new costume that I made with Hatsume.

Costume Gamma!

THE TEST

-Are you alright, All Might? -Yeah.

Hmm.

What was that, Midoriya? It had amazing destructive power!

I thought you were a puncher!

Kaminari, Kirishima.

That power is thanks to the soles that Hatsume thought up.

I learned how to use my body from Iida, and changed my style.

I've only decided my general direction, but it's still just a stopgap,

and I don't have anything I can call an ultimate move yet, so...

No.

I think it's more than a stopgap.

Especially for the provisional license exam.

All Might. Please don't get too close, it's dangerous.

Sorry.

I'm sorry, Young Bakugo.

Be careful next time, All Might!

Be careful, huh?

I thought I had accepted it, but...

I guess to everyone I'm someone to be protected now, huh?

I see you've changed your costumes as well!

Did you notice? Huh?

You're not the only one with a new style!

The others are making small changes here and there.

You gotta watch out!

But my change in style is huge!

You'll be surprised!

Wanna see? I'll show you, it's seriously amazing...

That's enough, Class A!

Class B is scheduled to use this place this afternoon.

-Class B? -Such bad timing...

Eraser, get out of the way, quick.

Still ten minutes left. You can't manage your time properly, Vlad.

Hey, did you know? The provisional license exam has a 50% fail rate.

You should all just fail!

He's just telling us what he thinks, huh?

Umm... so that's Monoma's costume?

His Quirk is Copy, so there's no need for something that attracts attention.

-That's what he said. -So that doesn't attract attention?

What he's saying is reasonable, though.

Since we are taking the same exam, we're all alone in this.

We're destined to crush each other.

That's why I applied Class A and Class B to different locations.

The hero license exam takes place each June and September

in three locations simultaneously across the country.

To avoid students from the same school fighting each other,

all schools should split up their students by time or location.

Phew...

Pity, we won't be able to fail you by beating you directly!

He said "phew"...

There must be a medical term for his mental condition...

All schools, huh? I thought so.

I haven't thought about it, but we'll compete with other schools for this.

And on top of that, we're accelerating the process of getting them...

And also...

There are very few first years that try to obtain their provisional license.

Meaning...

At the exam, you'll face students who've trained longer than you,

with unknown Quirks that they've been improving on all this time.

We don't know the contents of the exam,

but you can be sure, it'll be a struggle for you.

It's not good to worry too much about it, but try not to forget it either.

Yes, sir!

Every day is a workout...

It's called "intensive training" for a reason, huh?

Even so, there's less than a week left before the provisional license exam.

Yao-momo, how's it going with your ultimate move?

There's something I'd like to do, but my body isn't there yet.

I need to develop my Quirk a little more first...

What about you, Tsuyu?

I'm coming up with a very frog-like move.

I'm sure you'll be surprised as well, Toru.

And what about you, Ochako?

Ochako?

Looks like you're tired.

Oh, no, I can't be tired! I still have a long way to go!

At least that's how it's supposed to be, but...

Lately, my heart's all stirred up...

You're in love!

What!? Glove? Clove? Blob?

No, I don't know about it!

Is it Midoriya, or Iida? You're often around them, aren't you?

No, no, no...

She's floating...

Who is it? Which one? Who is it?

You'll get a shorter sentence if you confess it now.

That's not it, really!

I don't really know about that stuff, you know...

It's not good to interrogate her like this, you know.

That's right. More importantly, tomorrow we'll again have an early start.

Let's all go to bed.

What? I don't want to! I want to hear more!

Even if it doesn't have anything to do with romance, I want it to be so!

It's not like that...

That's not right... Iida was more like... He used his hips more.

His hips and flexibility, right... I'm starting to visualize it now...

To make it worthy of an ultimate move...

It's... not...

The training days are over and now comes the exam day!

Umm... I'm getting nervous.

I wonder what we'll have to do...

Uh... I wonder if I'll able to get the provisional license...

Mineta. Don't wonder. Just get it.

O-Of course!

If you pass the test and get your provisional license,

then you hero-eggs will become chicks, hatching into semi-pros.

Do your best.

Right! Let's become chicks, huh?

Let's go with the usual! Ready...

Plus... Ultra!

It's not good to barge in on other people's huddles, Inasa.

Whoops!

I am...

truly... very... sorry!

What's with this guy, with that unbridled enthusiasm...

This guy...

Wait, those uniforms...

It's that famous school in the west...

U.A. in the east, Shiketsu in the west...

Among many hero courses, an elite school that rivals U.A...

That's Shiketsu High School!

I wanted to say "Plus Ultra" at least once!

I love U.A. High School!

It's an incredible honor to be able to compete with you guys...

I'm looking forward to it!

-Oh, blood. -Let's go.

Inasa Yoarashi...

Mr. Aizawa, you know him?

That guy's strong.

Last year, the same year you enrolled,

Yoarashi got top scores in the entrance exam,

but for some reason, he turned down the offer.

So, he's a first year?

Moreover, top scores in the entrance exam...

Does it mean he's stronger than Todoroki?

Inasa Yoarashi, from Shiketsu High School.

OCHAKO URARAKA QUIRK: ZERO-GRAVITY

PRO-HERO - ERASER HEAD QUIRK: ERASURE

Everyone from U.A., I'll be going then!

It's Inasa Yoarashi, right?

I don't get it. He said he loves U.A., but then decided not to enroll...

Yeah, that's weird.

He may be weird, but he's the real deal. Keep an eye on him.

Eraser! Oh, it's you Eraser!

I've seen you on TV and at the sports festival,

but it's been a while since I've seen you in person!

That's...

-Let's get married. -No.

No? That's funny...

As always, you're hard to talk with, Joke.

Smile Hero, Ms. Joke!

Her Quirk is Outburst!

She forces laughter onto those nearby, dulling their ability to move and think!

Her villain-beating is full of craziness!

If you marry me, our lives will be happiness and full of laughter!

That's not a happy life.

-You seem to be close. -Our offices were close to each other!

Helping and being helped by each other, our mutual love bloomed...

No it didn't.

Oh, nice! I love your quick comebacks!

You're really worth teasing, Eraser!

Joke. The fact that you're here means that...

That's right! Come everyone, it's U.A!

Oh! The real thing!

That's amazing! They're all the ones we saw on TV!

Ketsubutsu Academy, second years, Class 2!

They're my class. Please be kind to them.

I'm Shindo! It's been a troubling year for U.A., it must've been tough!

But even so, you are all still aiming to be heroes, huh? That's wonderful.

A strong heart is what I believe all heroes should have in times like these!

He's so bright!

He's really the stereotypical "handsome cool boy" type!

Especially you, Bakugo! You were at the heart of the Kamino incident.

-Huh? -You have an exceptionally strong heart.

Today, I'll do my best while trying to learn from you!

Stop this nonsense! Your expression doesn't match your words.

Hey, that's rude! I'm sorry for that.

It's fine, it proves he's got a strong heart.

Hey Todoroki! Could I have your autograph?

You were so cool at the sports festival!

-Huh? -Stop being such a fangirl.

I'll give you my autograph too!

Hey! Change into your costumes, and head to the briefing.

-Don't waste your time. -Yes, sir!

Meeting people outside the school, reminds me that...

That U.A. students are pretty famous, right?

Could it be that... You didn't tell them, Eraser?

PROVISIONAL HERO LICENSE EXAM LOCATION

-There are so many... -Really, so many...

So... now we'll do that "provisional license" thing...

I'm... Mera, from the Hero Public Safety Commission.

My favorite kind of sleep is non-REM sleep... Nice to meet you.

I've had so much work to do that I hardly slept...

We need more personnel... I'm so sleepy...

On the basis of this, I'll give you the orientation.

He's not hiding his exhaustion at all, huh? Is he alright?

About the content of the provisional license thingy...

Well, all 1,540 candidates here,

will have to compete in a free-for-all elimination tournament.

Are you serious? That's not much to go on.

Our society is currently said to be saturated with heroes,

and ever since Stain's arrest,

many have shown doubts about the current state of heroes.

Heroes should not seek compensation.

It must be a title earned after a path of self-sacrifice.

The Hero Killer's convictions...

Well, as a simple citizen,

I think that, whatever is their motive,

to tell someone risking their lives for others to not seek any reward is...

quite an inhumane story in these modern times, but...

But anyway, whether it's for compensation, or for glory,

many heroes worked hard together to help people and defeat villains.

But as a result of that, the time from when an incident happens

to when it's resolved is now incredibly short.

Acquiring your provisional licenses,

will enable you to finally throw yourselves into those rapid currents.

For those that won't be able to keep up with that speed... It's gonna be hard.

Therefore, what you'll be tested on is speed!

The first 100 of you that fulfill the requirement will pass.

There are total 1540 candidates...

We were told the passing grade was 50%...

So the passing grade is now less than 10%.

I'm getting even more nervous...

Well, a lot has happened, you know...

Think about that, and do your thing...

So, the requirements are... these.

The candidate will put three of these targets on their body.

They can go anywhere as long as it's a constantly exposed area.

Places like beneath your feet or on your armpits, are no good.

You'll also carry six of these balls.

The targets are made so they only light up when hit by these balls.

If all three of your targets are lit up, you're out.

The one who lights up your third target is the one that officially defeated you.

You get through this round by defeating two people.

That's it for the rules.

It's similar to the entrance exam...

No, going up against people is completely different than going up against robots!

You carry exactly the number of balls you need to use to pass.

Are they suggesting that we steal the third target from someone else?

The rules are even harsher than in the entrance exam...

Okay, now... After we open, we'll pass out the targets and balls.

We'll start one minute after you've all gotten them.

Open?

I think you all have terrains you're more comfortable with than others.

Use your Quirks well, and do your best.

It's unnecessarily big!

Anyway, we arranged for the terrain to be announced like this, so...

Well, it was unnecessary.

It's because of things like these that my sleep suffers...

I'm expecting speedy developments for this,

so that I can go rest as soon as possible.

Eraser, your fly's unzipped...

Why am I always surrounded by such noisy people?

It's remarkable you still have 20 students, though.

It's rare you haven't expelled anyone.

This time you like your class, don't you?

Not particularly.

Don't be so coy! That's so lame!

-Let's get together. -Shut up.

Anyway, there's something weird if that's the case.

There's no way you wouldn't know about that thing.

If the first to finish wins, no one will try to fight people from their own school.

The path to victory is to team up with people you know well.

Everyone! Let's not get too separated, and move as a group!

-Yes! -I agree.

Don't make me laugh! It's not a school trip, you know.

Idiot, hey, wait!

-Kacchan... -Kirishima!

I'll go on my own as well.

It's hard for me to use my power in a big group.

-Todoroki! -Midoriya, there's no time, let's go!

Right.

The test is different every year,

but there's something of a tradition in this provisional license test.

I don't think it's a good idea to act on your own.

Why?

Because everyone knows what powers we have.

Everyone knows.

I see... From the sports festival!

As all the nation's schools compete to pass the provisional license exam,

there's only one school

that doesn't have the advantage of their Quirks not being known...

The top school whose sports festival is broadcast across the country,

showcasing not only its students' Quirks, but their weaknesses and styles...

That's your school.

The other schools should've also figured out by now how to win this.

I think this will be a clash between schools.

Which means, they'll think about which school to defeat first.

-That's... -Don't tell me it's...

First test, start!

If you like your class, you should've told them.

The thing that always happens at the beginning...

The crushing of U.A!

As expected...

I saw it on TV! That power so strong it destroys even your body!

Well, if a nail sticks out, you've gotta hammer it down!

I think it's more than a stopgap.

Especially for the provisional license exam.

One for all... Full Cowl!

Shoot Style!

Crushing the U.A...

I had no reason in particular not to tell them,

but in the end, it would've been the same.

They'll just have to overcome it.

-Dark Shadow! -Got it!

All right...

There you go...

A hero is someone who can turn around a crisis.

If they become pros, everyone will know about their Quirks in the first place.

I'm sorry, but we look a bit further ahead than everybody else.

We can do it! My Shoot Style, and everybody's powers...

I can see the results of our intensive training!

Everyone! Let's keep going like this!

Yeah!

Subtitle translation by: A. S. Amato

Here's the preview!

The first test of the provisional license exam has finally begun!

I got separated from the rest of the class,

and what appeared before me was a girl from Shiketsu High School!

Next time, "Shiketsu High Lurking"!

Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
