[IZUKU] I know I wasn't here long,

but thanks for everything.

[yanws]

I don't think there's any reason for you to thank me.

I wasn't around when the really big stuff happened.

Sure, but the only reason I was able to stand up

against Stain at all was because of our sparring

and your wise instructions.

Ow! Ow, ow!

You survived, yes,

but only because the Hero Killer let you.

[gasps]

Well, at least you learned to channel your power

instead of relying on one monster smash.

Even though you did still manage

to get a stress fracture in your arm.

I know what happened.

You went well over your limit.

I thought we agreed you were only

supposed to use five percent.

You're too impatient, and when you lose focus,

you lose control, too!

You must always be calm and alert.

[GRAN TORINO] I'm sure you know this, but,

if you're really aiming to become the greatest hero

like All Might, then you've still got

a heck of a lot to learn, boy, so keep at it.

Yes, sir!

See ya 'round.

[IZUKU] Wait!

I've got a question.

Please. Just one more.

I've been wondering for a while,

but never found a good time to ask.

I mean, now's not the best time either, but here I am...

Out with it now.

I've got pastries to eat.

Even though you're really strong and you trained

the number one hero in the world yourself,

no one knows you.

You should be super famous.

But you're... not.

Is there a specific reason for that, or what?

Oh, that's an easy one.

I was just never that interested in working as a pro hero.

[IZUKU] What?

[GRAN TORINO] There was a point in my past

when I needed to be able to use my Quirk freely,

without limits.

That's the only reason I got my license.

It might be better to hear this from Toshi.

All Might, I mean.

He can explain everything better than me.

[gasps] Yeah, okay.

That's it, kid. Keep workin' hard.

[IZUKU] Yes, sir! Thank you very much again.

Bye for now.

[GRAN TORINO] So he's the future, huh?

He may not look or act like him,

but he's still just like Toshinori.

[GRAN TORINO] The man chosen by my friend.

The man who inherited One For All.

Who became the very best.

[GRAN TORINO] Hey, boy!

Who are you?

[IZUKU] Seriously?

Oh, well, I'm, uh, Izuku Midoriya.

[GRAN TORINO] That's not right.

I'm Deku!

[GRAN TORINO] Let's you and me watch

over him together, Toshinori.

Until the day you pass on into history.

Until the day that the hero "Deku" is celebrated

around the world as the new Symbol of Peace.

[BOTH laughing]

[BOTH] Holy crap! What the heck, Bakugo?

Stop laughing!

My hair's gotten used to this

and I can't get it back the right way.

Did you not hear me? I'll kill you both.

[SERO] I'd like to see ya try, pretty boy.

What'd you call me?!

[KIRISHIMA, SERO] Hey, there it goes!

Awesome! You got to face actual villains?

I'm super jealous!

Well, I didn't fight. All I did was help people

evacuate and provide logistical support.

[ASHIDO] But it still sounds like so much fun.

I spent basically the whole time training

and cleaning the ship deck.

Though, there was this one day we caught

a bunch of drug smugglers.

[BOTH] Okay, that's cool!

What about you, Ochaco?

How was your week?

I'd say that it was very enlightening.

I think she found her fighting spirit.

Yeah, that battle hero must've been something else.

After one week she's like a totally different person.

Different? Don't be fooled, Kaminari.

All women are demons at heart.

They just hide their true personalities

behind pretty faces.

[KAMINARI] What the heck did Mt. Lady do to you?

Everyone at my internship loved me--

it was actually kinda great.

Now, if you wanna talk about the ones who really changed,

it was those three.

Oh, yeah! The Hero Killer!

Glad you guys made it back alive. Seriously.

I worried about you, too.

You were lucky Endeavor showed up

and saved you guys.

[HAGAKURE] So cool.

Just what I'd expect from the number two hero!

Yeah, that's right. He saved us.

[OJIRO] Did you guys hear the news about the Hero Killer?

Everyone's been saying that he was somehow

connected to the League of Villains.

Can you imagine how frightening it would've been

if that creep had been there when they attacked the USJ?

[KAMINARI] He's scary, yeah.

But did you see him in that weird video?

It's all over the internet.

I didn't even know there was a video of him.

Yeah.

Stain's a pretty evil villain, but, like, super tenacious.

He's almost kinda cool, don'tcha guys think?

Kaminari!

Uh-- Oh! Dude!

No, it's okay. You're fine.

It is true that he's quite a tenacious villain.

I understand why people might think he was cool.

But instead of helping the world,

his beliefs led him to cold-blooded murder.

No matter his motives, killing cannot be condoned.

To keep anyone else from suffering like me,

well, I promise:

I will strive to be the perfect hero.

Yeah. Let's do it!

It's time for class to begin!

Everyone, please take your seats.

[TOKOYAMI] He's back.

This is your fault for talking about weird stuff.

Sorry, I'm gonna keep my mouth shut.

Until I'm able to call myself a real hero,

I'll leave my left hand as it is.

[IZUKU] Way to go, Iida.

[ALL MIGHT] I am here!

Hope you're ready to return to our lessons.

Today it's Hero Basic Training.

Feels like I haven't seen you in a while.

Welcome back.

Now then.

Listen carefully for what's in store.

We're going to be conducting a little race.

Take everything you've learned from your internships

and apply it to this rescue training.

If it's rescue training, then shouldn't

we be at the USJ instead?

[ALL MIGHT] Ah, that facility specializes in disasters.

As I said earlier, this is a race. So prepare.

You're about to step into Field Gamma!

Inside is an area full of factories that form

an intricate labyrinth, so good luck

finding your way around.

You'll be competing in groups of five.

Each person starts from a different location

on the outskirts of the model city.

I'll send a distress signal, and you do what you must

to rescue me. Whoever finds me first wins!

But try to keep the property damage

to a bare minimum, please.

Why're you pointing at me?

[ALL MIGHT] All right. First group, get to your places.

[KAMINARI] Iida hasn't completely recovered yet, right?

He should sit this out.

[KIRISHIMA] Man, everyone in this group

has really good mobility.

Huh. I'd say Midoriya is at a heavy disadvantage

against those four.

That's what I think.

Moving around quickly isn't really one of his strong suits,

that's for sure.

[YAOYOROZU] And whenever he uses his powers

he always gets badly injured.

Who's your pick? I'm bettin' on Sero.

Oh, yeah? I got odds on Ojiro.

I choose Ashido.

'Cause she's got a super athletic body.

I know Deku will be last.

Even if he's still recovering, I think Iida's got this one.

[TSUYU] Mm!

Is everyone ready? Begin!

[KIRISHIMA] Look at 'im go!

In a maze like this, it makes sense

to be above everything else.

So that means Sero's at an advantage

because he can take to the sky.

[SERO] It's like this course.

was built with me in mind.

With my new training, I can win!

[ALL MIGHT gasps]

[MINETA, KIRISHIMA gasp]

[MINETA, KIRISHIMA] Whoa, Midoriya?

[KAMINARI] Since when can he do that?

[SERO] What, no way!

[TODOROKI] The way he's propelling himself

through the air...

Crazy. Those jumps--!

He looks just like...

[KATSUKI] Those are my moves!

While I spent my time getting groomed

at that useless internship he--

Look at him.

Dammit!

Midoriya? Are you kidding me?

Shouldn't he be breaking a bunch of bones?

[IZUKU] Focus. I can do this.

Don't go above five percent!

[IZUKU] I've just gotta stay calm and alert.

Huh?

[ALL MIGHT] And it's over!

Thanks, hero!

And congratulations!

All right!

--Darn it! --[TENYA] Midoriya.

Uh, you're okay, right?

[IZUKU] I see.

When jumping in an area with unstable footing,

I need to be careful where it is I'm landing.

I'll have to remember that.

Young Sero may have come in first,

but compared to the start of the year,

you all showed me some incredible improvements.

Keep working and preparing for your upcoming final exams!

[ALL] Sir!

[ALL MIGHT] Group One, leave the field.

You're up, Group Two!

[ALL MIGHT] You surprised me.

That was incredible. Find me after class.

We need to talk.

Um... Yes, sir.

[ALL MIGHT] The time has come for me

to tell you the whole truth.

About me.

And One For All.

[SATO] Ah, that was some tough training today, huh?

It's the first class in a while that had me glistening.

Man, I really gotta work on my mobility.

You could also compensate by improving other skills.

Still wish I could use my Quirk for speed.

I'm jealous of guys like you and Sero.

[IZUKU] I wonder what he wants.

He sounded so intense.

[MINETA] Hey, Midoriya!

You won't believe what I just found.

The jackpot!

Someone Shawshanked a hole in this wall!

A previous generation has given us a gift.

You know what's next door, right?

This looks into the girls' locker room!

Don't even think about it!

Peeping on them like that would be criminal.

Then you'll have to throw me

in solitary confinement, 'cuz you can't stop me!

I wanna see Yaoyorozu's curves.

Ashido's slender waist.

Hagakure's floating underwear.

Uraraka's super-fine body.

Asui's unexpectedly soft boobies!

[screams]

That's Jiro's Earphone Jack!

What a brutal and precise surprise attack from next door!

[HAGAKURE] Ugh. Thanks, Kyoka.

Despicable.

We'll close up this hole immediately.

[JIRO] Why am I the only one he didn't say anything about?

[MINETA] My eye! My eye!

[school bell rings]

[knocking]

It's me, All Might.

Come have a seat.

[IZUKU] He seems... different.

You went through a lot recently.

I'm sorry I wasn't around to help you out.

[IZUKU] Oh, no. You don't need to apologize for that.

More importantly...

Um, you mentioned One For All earlier.

I heard that the Hero Killer

swallowed your blood in the attack.

Oh. Yeah.

His Quirk made him able to paralyze someone

after tasting their blood.

Is that what this is about?

Do you remember how I gave my power to you?

What I said that day?

"Eat this."

No, not that part.

I said the key was in my DNA.

That's why you had to swallow the hair.

[IZUKU] Oh, holy crap!

Don't tell me the Hero Killer has One For All now!

No, he doesn't.

I just thought you might be worried about that, but...

I see it didn't cross your mind.

One For All can only be given

to another person if you, the bearer,

intend to pass it along.

It's not something that can just be taken by force.

Although it can be transferred by force.

Kind of like this.

[GIRL 33A] Here! You have to take it!

[IZUKU] What kind of example is that?

[ALL MIGHT] The Quirk you now have is unique,

and you should know its origin.

One For All was derived from another

odd Quirk, a power that's very old.

It used to be something different?

The name of that Quirk is "All For One."

It allowed its user to take Quirks from others.

Then the user could keep the Quirks for himself

or give them to someone else.

What? You mean...

He could steal powers?

[ALL MIGHT] This was back when Quirks

were just starting to show up.

Before society had figured out how to deal with

the newly powered among them.

When Quirks first appeared,

suddenly, it was impossible to say

what it meant to be a "normal" person.

Laws and human rights were hotly debated.

Civilization's progress stalled.

Society decayed.

[IZUKU] "If superpowers had never appeared,

then humans would be taking interstellar holidays

by this point."

I remember hearing that from someone famous.

[ALL MIGHT] Right.

During that chaotic period of change,

there was one person who managed to rally many people together.

He went by the name of his power, All For One.

He stole Quirks from others.

And then, with his overwhelming abilities,

he spread his influence across the country.

He manipulated people to serve his purposes,

and committed evil acts with little resistance.

In the blink of an eye, he became the leader

of villains and ruled over Japan.

[IZUKU] I've seen plenty of rumors about this online, sure,

but isn't that all just made up?

It's not mentioned in our textbooks.

Because it's the kind of shameful history

people would rather ignore.

Anyway, when a person gains true power,

they enjoy showing it off to others.

[gasps]

How does this all tie together, though?

And what about One For All?

[ALL MIGHT] I said that All For One could give Quirks

to others, remember?

He made people trust him or submit to his will

by altering their abilities.

But apparently, there were many poor souls

who couldn't bear the burden of the Quirks they were given.

They became like mindless living dolls, incapable of speaking.

Just like the Nomus are.

[gasps]

[ALL MIGHT] Meanwhile,

some Quirks actually evolved as they were passed on.

Some even combined with other power sets.

This evil man had a Quirkless younger brother.

He was small and sickly, but he had a strong sense of justice.

They couldn't have been more different.

It pained the brother to see All For One's deeds,

so he kept resisting him.

And then, All For One transfered a Quirk

to his sibling, one that would allow him to stockpile power.

We don't know if it was a gift he was giving his brother,

or if he just wanted to force him to submit.

Don't tell me--

[ALL MIGHT] Yes.

Even though everyone thought he was Quirkless--

turns out, the brother did have a Quirk.

Though even he hadn't realized this to be the case.

He had a useless power

that only allowed him to pass on Quirks.

And so, the stockpiling ability merged

with the younger brother's power,

and that is how One For All came to be.

I've always found it ironic

that justice so often spawns from evil.

[IZUKU] Wait, hold on! I understand how One For All

came about now, but this bad guy must be long dead by this point.

So why are you bringing him up?

One who steals Quirks has no limits.

Anything's possible. There are Quirks that halt aging.

He probably has something like that.

The Symbol of Evil seemed pretty much immortal.

With the state of the world at the time

and the huge difference in their combat abilities,

the younger brother decided to entrust

this new Quirk to future generations.

Even though he couldn't defeat All For One,

he hoped One For All would continue to grow in power,

until it was strong enough to stop his older brother.

Eventually, it was my turn, and I managed

to defeat All For One!

At least, that's what I thought.

But he survived and is now back in action

as the brain behind the League of Villains.

[ALL MIGHT] So, now you know.

The entire purpose of One for All is to defeat All For One.

As its holder, you may one day have to fight

against this great evil yourself. Because I failed.

[ALL MIGHT] I know you didn't expect this, but--

[IZUKU] I'll do my best!

I'll do whatever you ask.

No matter what it might take.

As long as you're with me,

I can do anything! I know you'll have my back!

[ALL MIGHT] Come on. Tell him.

He needs to know.

[ALL MIGHT] That's not how it'll happen.

Our futures are--

[ALL MIGHT] He won't understand.

[ALL MIGHT] Thank you.

[ALL MIGHT] I'm sorry, Young Midoriya.

[ALL MIGHT] But...

By the time you face him, I won't be by your side anymore.

[AIZAWA] Well, it's almost time for summer vacation.

Don't get too excited.

You can't just relax an entire month.

Does that mean...?

You'll be training while you're camping in the woods.

[KAMINARI, KIRISHIMA] I knew it! All right!

A big sleepover!

Baths!

Fireworks!

Springs!

And s'mores!

Skinny dipping!

We've been training in cities,

so these will be very different conditions for most of us.

No matter what the environment, we must always remain vigilant.

Yes. Very wise.

[HAGAKURE] Hanging out with everyone all summer--

I'm so excited!

However.

Those of you who don't pass the final exam

before the semester is over...

...will have summer school.

Everyone, do your best!

This is so stupid.

All you girls better pass this thing!

[IZUKU] Even though what All Might had to tell me

was mind-blowing, my daily life is continuing as usual.

And despite everything, my goals haven't changed.

[IZUKU] Now that I think about it,

All Might didn't really say anything specific about himself.

[MASTER] The Hero Killer Stain.

I didn't think he'd get caught, but everything else

went pretty much as expected.

Now that he's viral, those who want

to wreak havoc or who simply sympathize with him

will seek out the League of Villains

as a way to satisfy their urges.

Tomura Shigaraki will be put in a position

where he must unify many new recruits.

[DOCTOR] I believe things would move faster

if you were to talk to them yourself, though, Master.

[MASTER chuckles]

[MASTER] Then you had better hurry and fix my body, Doctor.

[DOCTOR] If only we'd gotten our hands

on the super regeneration Quirk five years earlier.

Now that your wounds are all healed,

it can't really do anything to help you.

So he's to unite the League of Villains.

I wonder if the child can pull it off.

How much has he really grown?

He'll do well.

Even if I have to work him to the bone.

It's the only way he'll be able to take my place.

He was born with the twisted mind

needed to become the next me.

I hope you're celebrating while you can, All Might.

Because very soon, this temporary peace

will come to a violent end.

[IZUKU] Now, the preview!

Final exams are about to begin!

Ignoring the written test,

I wonder what the practical will be like.

[ASHIDO] Midoriya!

It looks like we'll be fighting against giant robots again!

It'll be super easy!

[IZUKU] Ashido, I think they changed it up this year.

[ASHIDO] Let's see.

It says students are going to form pairs...

[IZUKU] ...and fight against the teachers?

The pro heroes?

[ASHIDO] What the what? We can't beat them!

[IZUKU] Next time: "Gear up for Final Exams"!

[ASHIDO] Crap, I think I'm in trouble

for the written test, too!

[IZUKU] Go beyond!

[IZUKU, ASHIDO] Plus Ultra!
