Original subtitles

My first time living at school.

As the second semester neared its end...

Aren't you excited?

Hagakure, aren't you cold?

Super cold!

Everyone's costumes have changed since we started school, huh?

Iida, it's amazing you lasted through the summer in that.

Kacchan, yours is different, too.

Huh?! If you've got something to say, then say it to my face!

Hey, hey...

You all seem really relaxed.

Come on, Class A!

Let's settle this once and for all today!

"Class A" "Class B"

In U.A. High School's hero course,

they decided to have a combat training with team battles

between Class 1-A and Class 1-B.

Shinso, who wants to transfer into the hero course,

was also included in the matches.

And then the first match started,

and Class A was already in trouble.

"Before the start of the first match"

I think some of you don't know about it,

so I'll give a simple explanation of my Quirk, Brainwashing.

First, I focus my attention on the target

and think "I'm going to brainwash this person."

If I can get the target to answer me after doing that, the brainwashing is complete.

The target will move according to my orders.

It depends on how well it has taken hold,

but if the target receives a certain level of shock, then it will lose its effect.

I've never tried it before,

but I think it's probably impossible to brainwash a lot of people at once.

Because my focus on the targets would be split.

Even so, it's a strong move to use on someone who hasn't seen it before.

"Hitoshi Shinso - Quirk: Brainwashing"

However, I cannot make the person I brainwash talk.

Also, orders that require them to think won't work.

For example, I can show the target the words "Tsuyu Asui"

"Write this." "Tsuyu Asui"

and order them to write it,

"What's the frog girl's name? Write it."

but I can't ask them a question and get them to answer "Tsuyu Asui."

"Denki Kaminari - Quirk: Electrification"

I know it's normal for heroes,

but it's hard when details about your Quirk get out.

They could just completely ignore you.

That's why I have this.

This is like another set of vocal cords--

a voice modulator mask, Persona Cords.

If my voice goes through a mic or megaphone, it loses its effect.

So it has to be your real voice.

Yes.

Through the variation and resonance of a number of plates,

this mask can change the tone of my voice and make it heard directly.

"Tsuyu Asui - Quirk: Frog"

I see... In other words?

It changes his voice...

It's a voice changer.

Wow! Then you're unbeatable!

"Eijiro Kirishima - Quirk: Hardening"

First match, start!

Whoa, it's starting!

We don't really have a plan, but we just have to do it!

Whether or not this device is strong...

"Jurota Shishida"

...is up to me!

All right! Drive them out, Shishida!

You've got it!

"Kosei Tsuburaba - Quirk: Solid Ai"

He talked with my voice...

Good work!

He copied my voice and brainwashed Shishida?

That guy...

"Make It Happen, Shinso!"

Before he wakes up...!

Push!

Air Prison!

Wake up, Shishida.

I said, wake up.

Shinso from general studies...

He brainwashes you if you answer, but you can snap out of it with a shock.

I'd heard about it from Shiozaki and the others who'd been brainwashed before,

but I didn't hear about any voice changer.

It's no good.

If you touch me...

...you'll get shocked!

Ow...

He followed through to the end even though he was shocked...

Shishida!

Caught you.

All right! Take him to the jail, Tsu!

No way!

Didn't I shock you?

Class B's Shishida...

"Rikido Sato - Quirk: Sugar Rush"

He's really powerful.

"Ochaco Uraraka - Quirk: Zero Gravity"

Tsu...

It's fine.

"Izuku Midoriya - Quirk: One For All"

Class A...

...has him.

Koda!

The air wall shouldn't be that strong...

It's harder than I thought!

In that case...

One more time...!

"Koji Koda - Quirk: Anivoice"

Kirishima...

I'll take him to the jail.

Yeah!

We won't let you get through!

Little ones,

please lend me your strength.

Red Gauntlet!

I'm in human mode.

"Jurota Shishida - Quirk: Beast"

Jurota Shishida. Quirk: Beast.

His physique increases when he activates his Quirk.

Of course, he goes back to normal when he stops it!

Beast again!

The only one who can stand up to my strength is Kirishima, right?

That's why...

Over there is...

"Ibara Shiozaki - Quirk: Vines"

A poor sheep is falling from the sky...

"Tenya Iida - Quirk: Engine"

Kirishima's been caught!

But...

...Asui has caught Tsuburaba.

"Shoto Todoroki - Quirk: Half-Cold Half-Hot" "Katsuki Bakugo - Quirk: Explosion"

With this, they're even.

No, they're not.

I can't talk. What's this power?

I know what you're doing!

Be that as it may, Koda is struggling a lot.

I won't have much of a chance if I'm carrying him.

I'll withdraw for now,

and aim for a guaranteed 2-to-1 win!

"Welcome!!!"

"Hiryu Rin"

Now we're up, 2-to-1.

Sorry, Koda...

They got me, but...

...her tongue!

This is stronger than it was at the sports festival.

Class B is strong, huh?

It's proof that they worked hard on training their Quirks, huh?

The teams are chipping away at each other!

Shishida and Tsuburaba fought back immediately!

They've got the same number of people left, but is Class B better off mentally?

"Pro Hero - Vlad King - Quirk: Blood Control"

Will my students' furious attacks

finally crush Class A?!

Yeah, good old Mr. Vlad!

"Neito Monoma - Quirk: Copy"

"Against biased commentary!" "Mr. Vlad should comment impartially!"

"Mina Ashido - Quirk: Acid"

Stop the biased commentary!

"Hanta Sero - Quirk: Tape"

Shishida's crazy strong, huh?

The precision of his sense of smell is no joke.

"Pro Hero - Shota Aizawa - Quirk: Erasure"

Shinso, your inexperience is undeniable after all, huh?

The actions he took with the binding cloth--

He reacted after seeing the enemy.

He can't keep up with the speed of the battle.

If they want to take advantage of Shinso's strengths, then...

What should we do, Tsu?

We're gonna lose like this.

We spent too much time understanding Shinso's Quirk, huh?

They took us completely by surprise.

I should've been able to move faster to capture them.

Sorry...

We're the ones who should be apologizing.

You ended up having to fight head-on.

It was my fault that the plan wasn't good enough.

I mean, you did a good job just being able to move

even though getting hurt's normal in these real combat trainings.

I had to be rescued.

I even told him "Good work" without thinking.

I know you said you weren't planning on being friendly,

but I like you.

You're totally a future hero.

Whatever...

More importantly, we need a plan--

I have an idea.

Kaminari, look at your pointer.

Huh? Pointer?

You used me as a decoy for an ambush?

Oh, what a sinful act.

I must whip you.

Whip?!

But we succeeded!

If we catch two out of the three left on their team,

we can beat Class A!

We already know about Shinso's voice changer, so if we just get him,

then we can ignore the hard-to-deal-with Kaminari and still win.

Shinso, huh?

Losing Tsuburaba is a blow.

This is...?!

What is it, Shishida?

I don't know...

But, there's no doubt about it!

There are three Asuis heading our way!

Three?!

Did they come up with a plan taking Shishida's sense of smell into account?

In that case,

I must teach them...

...that plans lead to defilement.

"Hitoshi Shinso" "Quirk: Brainwashing" "He can brainwash and control opponents that respond to something he says."

"Affiliation: U.A. High School General Studies" "Birthday: 7/1" "Height: 177 cm" "Blood Type: AB" "Likes: Cats"

"Denki Kaminari" "Quirk: Electrification" "He can discharge electricity and use it to attack or find enemies."

"Affiliation: U.A. High School Hero Class 1-A" "Birthday: 6/29" "Height: 168 cm" "Blood Type: O" "Likes: Hamburgers"

There are three Asuis heading our way!

What's that Shishida saying?

It's not like she's Mr. Ectoplasm.

There should only be one Asui.

Midoriya, it's that, right?

"Minoru Mineta - Quirk: Pop Off"

Yeah, that.

I've heard of it, but I've never seen her use it.

I'll tell you more about my Quirk.

I can jump high, stick to walls, and stick my tongue out up to about 20 meters.

I can also spit out my stomach and wash it,

and secrete toxic mucus that actually just stings a little.

The toxic mucus!

She put it on the other two to cover their smell!

Even we almost forgot about it,

so there's no way Class B would think of it!

Kaminari, look at your pointer.

Huh? Pointer?

During the fight earlier, one of them stuck onto Shishida.

"Mei Hatsume's My Baby Academia"

Pointers stick to where they land.

With the included glasses, you can always check their location.

You were really watching carefully, huh, Tsu?! It's amazing!

It's more amazing that you didn't notice, Kaminari.

With Shishida's super accurate pinpointing...

I have an acute sense of smell!

...we should just assume that he always knows where we are.

So we'll use that, right?

Three people's worth of Tsu's smell!

As long as he doesn't see us, he won't know who's where!

It looks like he hasn't noticed the pointer yet, either.

No weird movements coming from him!

The problem is the other two and where they are.

Instead of trying to figure that out,

we should get Shishida when we can!

His sense of smell and power are trouble!

Anyway, Tsu, are you all right?

You were sent flying earlier.

I was able to control the fall somehow,

but I won't be able to win if I fight head on.

By my true name, Vine,

I will judge the schemers...

Via Dolorosa!

Their locations,

Apocalypse Beast.

Ten o'clock, twelve o'clock, two o'clock.

They've fanned out and are heading this way!

Also, I'm not "Apocalypse Beast."

I'm Gevaudan!

"Dragon Shroud"

If all three of them are approaching,

then it means they know where we are, right?

Was there anyone on their team with a Quirk that could search like that?

Hey, Apocabeast...

There's something stuck to you.

This looks like Kaminari's...

One person captured.

I will drag them out.

We don't know who's coming!

Get back, Shishida!

Just in case it's Kaminari...

Yup, you got it!

You drew the short straw!

All three of you...

...can get shocked together!

Crucifixion.

Faith's Shield!

The many layers of vines have sealed off the electricity,

and even if anything gets through, the shield will turn it aside.

It can handle it perfectly.

Just kidding.

If I'm within ten meters of a pointer,

then my electricity focuses into a single line.

No way!

That was close!

"Hiryu Rin - Quirk: Scales"

Hiryu Rin. Quirk: Scales.

He can generate hard scales all over his body!

He can shoot them! They can even act as armor!

Next! Hurry up and reset the vines!

Right. Shishida, location please.

Hey, that wasn't me just now!

It was Shinso's voice modifier!

Seriously, vines?!

Shiozaki's there, too?

It'll be over if she catches us. Should we turn back?

No, wait! I've got an idea!

What if I'm the only one who gets caught?

Caught?

If they're being alert around me,

then they'd be getting the short straw, right?

And during the sports festival,

she had to use a ton of vines to protect against my electricity.

If I go wild and become the focus of their attacks,

then she'll have fewer vines to work with, right?

Shinso and Tsu, you guys should take that chance to get close.

It's not like I was looking down on it or anything,

but this showed me the difference experience makes.

So this is the hero course, huh?

I can't tell where the voice came from...

He made use of surroundings that echo...

Shishida, where's the enemy?

Is there one over there?!

Hey, talk!

Ai-yah, you'd be safe if you just look at my mouth.

Anyway, we need to wake Shiozaki up.

I can't be hit by the Scale Bullets over here.

Asui!

You really move well!

Shishida, it's Asui!

Communication's...

Based on the movement of the scent, I can tell that that one is Asui.

Then this one... is definitely Shinso.

Shinso, you say you're behind?

Goodness, you're a scary one!

You're already a proper threat.

You're pretty good.

I won't fall for that!

Learned directly from Eraser Head--

Binding cloth!

I see.

However!

Villains aren't so weak that they'd be defeated by something like this!

Behind you!

I told you!

Behind you, Apocabeast!

I won't be brainwashed anymore!

"Apocabeast"?!

Dodge!

Sorry about this.

All right!

Yes, excellent.

Hey, Shinso's really good, isn't he?

He's not much of a handicap.

No, Asui and Kaminari's quick thinking let him shine.

Amazing...

By erasing their smells with Asui's mucus,

making them hard to pinpoint,

and using the voice modifier,

it broke down their opponents' communication.

With enough preparation,

just being there could let him control the space.

Brainwashing...

It's an even more annoying Quirk than I thought it was.

With his voice modifier support item and the binding cloth...

He's completely different from when I fought him at the sports festival...

I'm sure he's been training hard this whole time without us knowing...

You can't help the things you long for.

In order for my dream to take shape...

In order to become a hero...

"Welcome!!!"

Shiozaki...

Shiozaki! Shiozaki!

Why am I in the prison...?

I was brainwashed?!

O God, please forgive this foolish sheep...

Shiozaki! Shiozaki! Shiozaki!

I'm already dozens of steps behind you all.

Sorry, but I'm desperate for this.

You're not behind at all.

You're really strong, Shinso.

I'm not nearly strong enough yet...

I can't let others carry me.

I need to be strong enough to become a pro hero on my own.

First match,

won by the Class A plus Shinso team!

"Preview"

Here's the preview!

The second match in the battle between Class A and Class B.

The Class B team learned from their classmates' loss in the first match

and came up with an elaborate plan centered around Kendo.

With Tokoyami's Dark Shadow taken out of the picture,

will the Class A team be able to break out of their situation?

Next time, "Operation New Improv Moves."

Tokoyami's new power will finally be revealed for the first time in Japan!

"Next time: Operation New Improv Moves"

Go beyond!

Plus Ultra!
