Original subtitles

I've been thinking about it the whole time.

All Might gave that power to you, right?

You're not denying it, so it must be true.

Damn you.

What do you want to do with my answer?

You and I, we both admired All Might.

Yeah, that's it.

Someone that I thought was just a pebble

was acknowledged by the person I admired without me realizing it.

IZUKU MIDORIYA QUIRK: ONE FOR ALL

For that reason...

KATSUKI BAKUGO QUIRK: EXPLOSION

...fight me.

Right here. Right now.

Why?!

Wait. Why does it have to come down to that?

No, it's no good!

Just the fact that we're here is bad enough.

If we have to fight, we should at least do it during free practice.

We should borrow a training room!

There's no reason it has to be right now.

If we fight seriously, we'll be stopped.

What is it that All Might saw in you that made him go to such great lengths?

I need to see that for myself.

If the way you admired him was the right way,

then that means that the way I admired him was wrong.

Kacchan...

Did you see that?

All Might really is cool, huh?

He saves everyone with a smile, no matter how much trouble they're in.

Whatever crisis he's in, he always wins in the end!

He's a super cool hero.

Will I be able to become one, too?

DEKU VS KACCHAN, PART 2

Do you really intend to fight?

Brace yourself if you don't want to get hurt.

Now I remember. You switched mainly to kicks, right?

I said wait! Not like this!

Kacchan!

The right arm?

No, I got him like this before. That's not it!

The right one is a feint!

You always read a lot into things, huh?

Come at me!

Are you serious? Kacchan...

Two Class 1-A students

confirmed activity outside curfew. Their homeroom teacher...

Hey, Eraser Head!

Two of your students are at Ground Beta!

You are responsible for them. Go scold them!

Are you serious?

What the hell are they--

Wait, I said!

Do we really have to fight?

How can it be wrong?

Nobody said the way you admired him was wrong.

Wait!

Wait for me, Kacchan!

Kacchan!

You were always behind him, but now...

Are you okay?

No matter how many times I beat you up,

you were always stuck to my back.

Kacchan!

Don't run! Fight!

Even though we looked up to the same person...

Just so you know...

pride is important.

You definitely have the power to become a pro.

I know why you're upset.

It's the sudden growth of Young Midoriya, right?

But you know there's no way a Level 1 and a Level 50 could improve at the same rate.

Why?!

Why?!

Why?

Are you okay?

Why are you worrying about me?

Fight me! What is it with you?

Why... Why do I have to follow the back of someone who was always behind me?

Why did a small-fry like you get strong,

being acknowledged by All Might, becoming stronger and stronger?

Why? While I...

I...

While I caused All Might's end?!

If I'd been stronger and hadn't been kidnapped by the villains,

that wouldn't have happened.

All Might tried to keep it a secret.

I couldn't say it to anyone. But even if I try not to think about it,

it just comes to my mind out of nowhere!

I don't know what I should do!

He's been keeping this inside of him this whole time.

More than me.

All this time.

He's been worrying...

and thinking about it.

There might not be a meaning to this fight.

There might not be a meaning in winning or losing...

but I thought I had to do it anyway.

Because right now I'm the only one who can accept Kacchan's feelings.

This could be useful.

I can see whether my Shoot Style works on him or not.

If I have to do it, I'll use all my strength!

I'm not planning on being a sandbag, Kacchan!

Maybe he just wanted to release these feelings he couldn't do anything about.

Even if that was the case, I couldn't outright reject him.

It's twisted, if you think about it.

From kindergarten to elementary school, middle school, and then high school...

We've known each other for a long time, but until now...

we never had a real talk between us.

From above!

Don't make me think!

He's gonna close the distance before I land! Not good!

Repel his hand!

I don't have time to catch my breath!

I can't make it in time if I try to predict his moves!

My reaction speed after seeing his moves...

It's gotten better than before.

It's only natural...

but I've gotten stronger!

What are you smiling about?!

Didn't you say you won't be a sandbag?

I won't!

You're up to something again, I know it!

That's the kind of thing that makes me sick!

I can't tell what you're thinking.

No matter how much I beat you up, you keep sticking with me.

A guy like you, who was nothing, now is looking down on me...

as if he were better than anyone.

That attitude of yours, like you're seriously going to surpass me...

It's an eyesore to me!

Is...

Is that how you took it?

Well, usually, if someone keeps making fun of you,

you don't want anything to do with them.

But...

As I said before, precisely because I had nothing at first,

I could see clearly how amazing you were, besides the parts that I hated about you!

You who had so many things that I didn't have...

You were an amazing person, much closer to me than All Might!

He's much faster than earlier!

I was so emotional that I lost control a bit.

I'd been focusing on keeping my Full Cowl at 5% this whole time.

Surprisingly, you don't really realize how much stronger your body gets.

I can't make it on time. I'll guard!

Continuous body upper limit raised to 8%.

I've always thought you were amazing...

Because of that... All this time...

I've been chasing you!

KATSUKI BAKUGO QUIRK: EXPLOSION

A speed that even I didn't expect.

I've raised my limit from 5% to 8%.

It's definitely not a dramatic change...

but that slight difference for an instant...

I've been chasing you!

So you're saying you've surpassed me, huh?

My direct hit didn't make it in time.

You've suddenly--

Is that all you've got?!

I can't really tell this to your face because it's embarrassing, but...

I want to win and surpass you! You idiot!

When the feeling of "I have to win" is stronger than "I have to save you"...

inadvertently, I tend to use some bad language.

I should hate that part of you, but still...

It means that you're still the image of victory that I keep in my head.

You can't beat me in the air!

It's not like I jumped in the air for no reason.

I know that my Shoot Style is deeply imprinted in Kacchan's mind.

I'm not that good of a guy to just go along with this stress relief of yours!

Shoot Style was a way to fight without overusing my arms.

Nobody said I couldn't use them at 5%!

I want to beat you! You, the embodiment of victory!

You're next.

I need to show it to All Might, who chose me!

Someday, I will make this Quirk my own, and...

I will beat you with my own strength!

Like I'll lose!

See?

I won.

The power of All Might...

Even if you have that... Even if you made it your own...

You're still losing against me, huh?

Why are you losing?

That's enough, both of you.

Sorry, but I heard your talk here.

-All... -Might...

PRO-HERO - ALL MIGHT QUIRK: ONE FOR ALL

I'm sorry I didn't notice earlier.

It's too late now.

Why Deku?

It's since the sludge guy, right?

Why someone like him?

He was powerless...

but more of a hero than anyone else.

I thought you were strong.

You were already in the ring, so I decided on him,

to give him the opportunity to stand there along with you.

I'm weak, too, you know?

I've always wanted to become someone as strong as you, but...

because I'm weak...

you ended up in that state.

This is not your fault.

I was almost at my limit anyway.

It was already determined that I would end up like this.

You're strong, however...

but I focused too much on that strength of yours.

I made you bear that burden by yourself.

I'm sorry.

You're a young one, too.

After being a hero for a long time, this is what I realized.

Being fixated on victory like Young Bakugo,

or wanting to save those in need like Young Midoriya...

If either of these feelings is missing,

a hero cannot carry out his own sense of justice.

As Young Midoriya admired Young Bakugo's strength,

as Young Bakugo feared Young Midoriya's heart...

Now that you made your feelings clear,

I think you both understand.

If you could acknowledge each other and give each other strength,

you'll be able to help someone by winning.

And in winning by helping someone, you'll become the greatest of heroes.

That's not... what I wanted to hear.

You...

You had the strongest guy lay the groundwork for you,

and you're still losing?

I will get stronger...

so I can beat you.

Who knows about the relationship between you and Deku?

Recovery Girl and the principal.

Among the students, you're the only one.

You don't want this to be known, right, All Might?

Since you've been trying to hide it, I won't say it to anyone.

I won't expose it like damn Deku here.

I'll keep this between us.

Kacchan...

Asking to keep a secret... I should be bowing and begging you to do that.

I apologize for making you act in such a considerate way.

I'm not being considerate.

It's just too much of a risk to spread this around.

Now that it's come to this,

I owe you an explanation that satisfies you as well, Young Bakugo.

That's the right thing to do.

All Might spoke to Kacchan.

The fact that it was a power passed down to one from another, to fight great evil.

The fact that, with that power, he became the number one hero, the symbol of peace.

The fact that he was injured and reached his limit.

And...

the fact that he chose a successor.

So if this is exposed, there'd be confusion about where the power is.

Why did you tell me, damn Deku?

It was my choice to use up all my power.

As I said earlier, it's not your responsibility.

In the end, it doesn't change what I have to do.

I'll become an even greater hero than you!

Yes, you're right.

But it won't be like before, Deku.

Like how you've been watching me and the others and absorbed it to get stronger,

I'll also make everything my own and go higher.

Even more so than you, the chosen one.

Then... Then I'll go even higher than that!

I must!

I said I'll surpass you. You heard me?!

And I'm saying that I need to go even higher than that!

Unlike before, they now seem proper rivals.

The secret between me and All Might

now became a secret among us three.

Later that night...

To fight each other the very night of the provisional license exam...

I'm glad you two are so energetic.

Mr.Aizawa, wait. Don't use the restraints! I'm the cause!

What?

What is it, All Might? It's Midoriya and Bakugo again.

They're arguing in the practice field.

Yeah, about that...

I know those two from before they enrolled,

and there are some things I've been thinking about them.

Would you leave them to me?

I'll bring them back right away.

What is the cause of this?

Young Bakugo felt responsible for my retirement.

He had to face the exam with those feelings,

and that made his inferiority complex even worse.

I didn't realize, and I was negligent in his mental care.

This was a fight brought about by the failure of us adults.

For that reason, it can't be helped if they broke the rules, huh?

We can't let it go that easily.

I'll give you the punishment you deserve.

Who hit first?

Me.

I hit him quite hard, too.

Four days of house arrest for Bakugo, three for Midoriya!

In that time, you will clean the common area morning and night!

And I want a written apology from you!

As for the injuries, if the pain doesn't subside, go to the infirmary,

but don't rely on the old woman's Quirk!

You should heal yourselves.

That's all. Now go to bed!

Subtitle translation by: A. S. Amato

What?!

-You guys fought... -And now you're under house arrest?

-Are you stupid? -Nonsense!

You're really dumb...

The pinnacle of stupidity.

So did you two make up?

Make up? Not really.

It's difficult to put into words.

You're lucky you got away with just house arrest.

You won't be present at the opening ceremony we're going to now.

What about the extra lessons for the provisional license?

Shut up! It's got nothing to do with you!

So, good luck with the cleaning, guys!

You know, my Shoot Style...

How was it?

The motions you do before the hit are too big.

Even if you're faster, I was able to react to your moves.

It's not well-suited for a slug fest.

I see.

The fact that you combined it with your punches... it pissed me off.

I see!

Here's the preview!

U.A. High's second semester has begun!

After the Hosu incident, the training camp, and the license exam,

we should've grown a lot by now.

I'll let the results of that shine in the internship!

But there's something I didn't realize.

With the retirement of All Might, the villains who had been hiding

started to actively make their move again.

Next time, "A Season for Encounters."

The encounter with the best of U.A., the Big Three.

Go beyond!

Plus Ultra!
