Original subtitles

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

Now I'm on the hero course, I'm running toward my dream;

taking on any challenge, saving people with a smile.

All to become the greatest hero!

Class 1-A of the U.A. hero course

are about to take the provisional hero license exam.

If you pass this test and get your provisional license,

all you novice eggs will become chicks,

hatching into semi-pros.

PRO-HERO - ERASER HEAD QUIRK: ERASURE

Do your best.

NUMBER TO PASS 1ST TEST: 100

In the first test of the exam...

FIRST TEST RULES BRIEFING

...examinees put three targets anywhere they like on their bodies...

If all targets get hit by balls, you're out.

The first 100 to get 2 or more people out with the six balls they're given

will pass the test.

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

PRO-HERO - MS. JOKE QUIRK: OUTBURST

What always happens at the start;

the crushing of U.A.!

One for all...

Full cowl...

shoot style!

Dark Shadow!

The crushing of U.A.

I didn't really need not to tell them,

but ultimately it won't change what they must do.

They simply need to overcome it.

A hero is someone who can turn around a crisis.

Besides, if they become pros, everyone will know about their quirks.

Sorry, but we're looking a bit further ahead than everybody else.

SHIKETSU HIGH LURKING

Eraser, for this first test,

you might think, whoever attacks first wins,

as whoever finishes first gets a pass,

but that's not it, right?

Right. Teamwork, cooperation, and the ability to gather information

will be the key points.

If you're swayed by the words "the first 100" and rush to get points,

You'll probably be eliminated.

They're hitting back, huh?

As expected, the U.A. guys won't go down with something like this.

Well, I'm starting to see it.

SHIKKUI MAKABE QUIRK: STIFFENING

Ketsubutsu Academy, second year! Shikkui Makabe!

Quirk: Stiffening!

He can make any object super-hard

by kneading or scraping it with his hands.

But not living things!

-I'll leave it to you. -You leave it to me.

Well, I might get ahead of you all with this,

but I hope they'll let it pass, as it will mean less competitors.

Target lock-on!

Boomerang: crescent moon trajectory.

I've locked on the targets.

I hid the trajectory underground,

so they won't be able to react.

ITEJIRO TOTEKI QUIRK: BOOMERANG

Ketsubutsu Academy, second year, Itejiro Toteki!

Quirk: Boomerang.

He can throw objects at any trajectory he likes.

Even underground!

-Where's it coming from? -Stay back! I'll do it!

Sound amplification.

KYOKA JIRO QUIRK: EARPHONE JACK

Earphone Jack!

Heartbeat Fuzz!

She gouged out the ground!

Even so!

They're after me!

MINA ASHIDO QUIRK: ACID

Viscosity and solubility to the max!

Acid Veil!

MINORU MINETA QUIRK: POP OFF

Thank you! That was a great move.

A defensive move: it puts up a wall that melts everything!

They've come up with amazing moves, huh?

Of course they have.

FUMIKAGE TOKOYAMI QUIRK: DARK SHADOW

Black Ankh!

IZUKU MIDORIYA QUIRK: ONE FOR ALL

Easier to say, and cooler!

Piercing Claw of the Dusk!

You're strong!

TATAMI NAKAGAME QUIRK: TELESCOPIC

Ketsubutsu Academy, second year, Tatami Nakagame!

Quirk: Telescopic!

She can fold inside herself like a turtle.

You'd faint if you saw her on a dark road at night!

I see now. This is not the Class A we saw at the sports festival.

Their growth is remarkable.

Seems like everyone is stalling.

HERO PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION YOKUMIRU MERA

No one has passed yet.

Well, as soon as I get some updates

I will announce them from here.

OCHAKO URARAKA QUIRK: ZERO GRAVITY

No one's passed yet.

The targets we're wearing are basically our weak points!

As everyone is protecting them while fighting,

throwing blindly, trusting luck, there's a low chance of hitting.

Well, I'm starting to see it now.

We're still at the "observation" stage.

Everyone is studying their opponents' weaknesses and their Quirks.

Now the fight will probably start to speed up!

Very well...

"Looking a bit further ahead than everyone else", huh?

You sound quite high and mighty there, Eraser.

There are many who aim to be heroes.

The strength of their resolve has little to do with their school's fame.

If you act like the star of the show and look down on others,

you may end up getting defeated.

-Get away! -Their defenses seem strong!

Break!

Maximum power!

Earth Tremor!

-No! Everyone, run! -What the hell is this?

-This is crazy! -Deku!

Ultimate moves, huh? Of course we have those too.

YO SHINDO QUIRK: VIBRATE

Ketsubutsu Academy, second year, Yo Shindo.

Quirk: he can make things vibrate by touching them.

However, the aftershock of his strength transfers to his body,

paralyzing him.

SHOTO TODOROKI QUIRK: HALF-COLD, HALF-HOT

Tremors? An earthquake? No.

Somebody's Quirk, huh?

What an incredible Quirk.

-What school's it from? -Don't stand staring!

The enemy's close!

There should be one or two who've passed by now.

Wind?

The balls are...

Only the balls are getting sucked up!

I think heroes need passion.

Your fights are so passionate!

INASA YOARASHI

I love all this passion!

He's from Shiketsu High School! Is he alone?

I almost get what he's saying.

He stole our balls, we can't do a thing!

Please let me join your passionate fight!

I'm looking forward to this!

Finally, the first one to pass.

What! 120 people taken out?

He passed by taking out 120 people all by himself!

All right! I won!

Hmm, well, that surprised me so much that I'm awake now.

I guess they'll keep coming now.

Please everyone, do your best and finish this quickly.

What a Quirk! Hard to use when there are buildings around.

Dammit! We've been split up!

This is exactly what Ketsubutsu wanted.

I must meet up with everyone, or even someone, fast!

They'll take me out if I'm on my own.

How they combine their Quirks and adapt!

They're on a whole new level.

That's the difference in a year of training.

But you can't make up for it with experience alone.

Yoarashi. Last year, the same year you enrolled;

even though he got top scores at the entrance exam,

he decided not to enroll.

Top scores?

Does it mean he's even stronger than Todoroki?

Today I'll try my best while I'm learning from you.

Maximum power.

Earth Tremor!

Strong opponents from all over the country.

I wonder why I'm getting a little excited.

She suddenly appeared in front of me!

Got you.

It's not good, spacing out like that.

But it's weird, you're smiling even though you're in trouble.

This girl, she's from Shiketsu.

CAMIE UTSUSHIMI

You're so cool!

HANTA SERO

QUIRK: TAPE

INASA YOARASHI

QUIRK: WHILWIND

What a forceful division that was.

Somebody could've died!

If I call the others, the other schools will hear me and attack.

They shouldn't be too far away from here.

I should find the others first, so I don't fight a team alone.

At times like these, I need to be calm and careful.

That's Sneak Gravity for you!

In tests like these where you can expect group fights,

people tend to target first those they have more intelligence on.

So, thinking that the U.A. had a high risk of failing quickly,

I came to see you.

It's a great chance to interact with a prestigious school,

and I wanted to know more about you.

You talk a lot, huh?

Now Ketsubutsu and the other schools will come at us as a group.

This is not the time for a chat.

She should know that, right?

Does she have her teammates' support,

or is she just that confident--

Anyway, I must make sure I don't get taken out!

She's gone again! Where is she?

Er, it's enough to just punch with the ball, right?

That was close! Counterattack!

I can't do it, huh?

You think my Quirk lets me disappear?

Damn it!

I was just hiding, you know.

Just hiding?

That's right. It's a technique.

I hide myself from the eyes and ears of my opponents.

In that instant, I hold my breath, think about nothing, and disappear.

The hard part is thinking about nothing.

Do they teach that kind of thing at Shiketsu?

The trick is to not think of the training as training.

I see we both want to know about each other. It's my turn next.

Why do you want to become a hero?

Honor? Pride? For someone else's sake?

I'd really like to know more about you, you know.

Shiketsu's here too, what a bummer.

No. This is the worst situation possible!

Being targeted by a large group and not able to find anyone.

The worst-case scenario I imagined earlier is now reality!

Here they come! Dodge!

Dodge, dodge!

Dodge at all costs!

-Are you okay? -Uraraka!

This way, quick!

What? Does she have a plan?

"Quick"? No way!

Shoot! You're so...

-You're mine now! -Hey, wait!

That time I chose to fight, and broke my arms.

If I hadn't broken them, I might've been able to get Kacchan back.

And if I had done that,

All Might might not have had to fight against All For One.

That time, if I'd been able to protect Kota

and bring him to Mr. Aizawa,

faster than the villain...

To train, focusing on my legs.

I should've thought of that sooner.

An opening!

To help others, I must help myself first!

Damn! He's making us lose our footing!

I think it's more than a stopgap,

especially for the provisional license test.

All Might was right!

I've made up my mind!

I won't use One For All 100% until my body's ready.

But instead, when I create a hard impact with these iron soles,

the toe-part springs out, and I can get two hits in an instant!

An item that reinforces the strength and pull of my legs!

I have to make my legs stronger...

and become my own ideal hero.

Finally the 30th, huh?

We still have a long way to go.

Please make it quick.

The U.A. are quick to run away, huh?

They're not here! Are they hiding?

They should be nearby! But I was thinking, isn't this kind of inefficient?

Anyone chasing us? No. Have they given up?

Thanks. I messed up there.

Yeah, don't worry about it.

Could it be that you're that someone from Shiketsu?

-Huh? -Uraraka has been training her Quirk,

so that she can use it on herself for a short amount of time.

But to not even try to activate it when you were clearly in danger

and above all, to show yourself to the enemy carelessly like that!

That's not the Uraraka I know!

If you saved me even though you knew,

does it mean you were trying to use me?

I couldn't think that far ahead.

But I guess I'm glad how things have turned out.

Because if you're not Uraraka, it means you can't float.

If you'd kept falling like that, you'd definitely have hurt your back.

Hmm? I see.

So that's why you did it.

Tell me more about yourself.

Can't we do this after the test?

You would save anyone, huh?

What's your limit? Where do you draw the line?

What about your clothes? Why are you naked? Put something on!

I will after I finish this!

Scratching? What's the matter with this girl?

Oh come on.

Tape?

HANTA SERO QUIRK: TAPE

Midoriya! What's this enviable situation you're in?

-Sero! -Uraraka!

Release!

Amazing reflexes.

Things were just getting good. What a pity.

I truly, truly...

wanted to talk more with you.

But looks like we can't now. Too bad.

Ochako Uraraka. He trusts you a lot.

-Wait, you molester! -Don't follow her!

Why?

Probably because of her Quirk, she took off all her clothes,

targets included.

She might come after us again,

but timewise, it would be hard to get a point off her.

More importantly, you two are real, right?

What are you saying, Midoriya?

Well, that girl earlier,

She changed to look just like Uraraka.

Was she naked, Midoriya?

That's what you care about? No, she had her costume on!

Transforming into others. So that's that molester's Quirk?

Probably, yes.

The other schools really checked us out, didn't they?

They even know that you and Uraraka are close.

Maybe 'cause we were in the same team

for the cavalry battle at the festival?

Oh, I see.

More importantly, why are you two here?

We saw some commotion and rushed over.

I met Uraraka on the way.

-I'm glad we made it on time! -Yeah, thanks!

We're at least three, for now!

We should meet up with the others who got separated, but...

But the first 30 have already passed the first test.

We've got to hurry! They'll be 100 in no time!

All the others are moving in groups of ten or more.

I could attack first, but how annoying if they have a Quirk I'm weak against.

Better if I attack after the teams clash with each other,

bringing their numbers down, but...

Things are moving quite quickly now. Currently 52 have passed--

No, make that 53! They keep on coming.

Some have taken out more than two people,

so 230 people have now failed.

And now we have our 54th.

Over half now. Hurry up and finish!

I can't stay here and wait!

Not bad at all.

As expected from the runner-up of the U.A. sports festival.

You're Todoroki, right?

I can't believe you're acting by yourself. Impressive.

You must be confident.

But even if he's from U.A., acting alone is bad for him, don't you think?

It's one against ten. What are you going to do?

Thank you. You spared me the trouble of finding you.

You're so cool, huh?

Crap! I can't move!

You guys. Did you really watch the sports festival?

Of course we watched it!

A Quirk that enlarges objects.

I've still got plenty!

Should I go all out? No, but if there are more of them...

Even if I didn't get them all,

was there just no effect?

It's not an ordinary metal, you know.

We're using tungsten, which resists heat very well!

Like we said, Todoroki.

Acting by yourself, even though you're from U.A...

... I'd say you're over-confident.

Subtitle translation by: A. S. Amato

Here's the preview!

It's the provisional license exam; Class A's troubles continue.

Seijin High School target Todoroki, Yaoyorozu and the others...

Next time, "Class 1-A".

Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
