[BUBAIGAWARA] Having a good sense of who you are

is one of the most important things in life.

Look at all those happy people on their way to work.

Makes me sick.

[TWICE] Nah. They're freakin' great.

[BUBAIGAWARA] They think they're such good, decent citizens.

[BUBAIGAWARA] And what about me?

I'm doin' the same thing I do every day.

[TWICE] You're doing something special!

[BUBAIGAWARA] I'm starin' out my window and people watching

while having my morning cigarette.

[TWICE] And then the fun begins.

[BUBAIGAWARA] Two weeks since All Might fought

All For One in Kamino Ward, and then retired.

It's the only thing anyone's talking about.

Media's tryin' to scare people by stirring up unease.

However, despite All Might's retirement,

we haven't seen many big changes in everyday life.

We should be looking ahead of all this.

This is a time to investigate.

How will villains act and what are our countermeasures?

[BUBAIGAWARA] You're different, though, Mr. Miyagi.

I approve of you.

[TWICE] Gross. I don't.

[MIYAGI] The fact of the matter is that All Might

simply got too big.

He was such an all-encompassing symbol

that his existence was an impossibility.

[BUBAIGAWARA] The biggest change for regular folks

is the new number one.

Endeavor.

Not quite the same as All Might.

So the public is focusing their fear on him.

Waiting to see how he'll act. Not surprising.

He's not the type that everyone loves.

[BUSINESSMAN 62A] It's not that I don't like Endeavor,

I just can't help but compare him to All Might.

And, you know, that's kind of a lot

for any hero to live up to, right?

[BUBAIGAWARA] Yeah, he's not really a cuddly person.

More like an average guy pretending to play the hero.

[TWICE] He is a superhero!

[BUBAIGAWARA] Through circumstances

beyond his control,

he's inherited a role that he's totally unsuited for.

Poor bastard.

Now he's a symbol of the weakening heroes.

[MIYAGI] Although Endeavor has resolved

a number of large cases,

he's got a temper and has gone overboard many times.

Also, we polled males between the ages of 20 and 40.

They do not like him. He's just no replacement.

This is a prime example of why those of us

in the media should stop reporting negatively

about pro heroes and actively raise excitement for them.

Instead of focusing on the problems we're facing,

we should see how we can highlight the positives.

[BUBAIGAWARA] The man knows what he's talkin' about.

Physical power isn't the only thing that weakens.

The heart does as well.

[TWICE] Nah, it's all about power.

Shut up! Leave me alone.

[BUBAIGAWARA] "I am here."

That's what he said when he saved people's lives.

For any regular Joe, that was reassuring.

But for people like me, it was nothing short of a curse.

[YELLOW laughs]

Holy crap. That was too easy!

And ain't nobody gonna stop me now.

[BUBAIGAWARA] Villains. Only faithful to themselves.

This is the future now that he's gone.

[STORE MANAGER 62A] Oh, come on.

Give me a break for once.

Hey, help me! Somebody stop him!

[BUBAIGAWARA] I get it.

Crime is tempting for those who don't know

what else to do with their Quirks.

That part will play out as usual.

Ya'r through, villain.

Your life of crime ends here!

[BUBAIGAWARA] But this part is gonna be slightly different.

[VILLAIN 62B] Yellow, hurry up!

[VILLAIN 62C cackles] Look at this idiot.

He brought the whole counter!

[VILLAIN 62B] Too bad for you, hero.

[VILLAIN 62C] He's not some two-bit robber.

We're a team.

[VILLAIN 62B] Yeah!

[VILLAINS] You're facin' the Reservoir Dogs!

Don't you forget the name.

[BUBAIGAWARA] Not as scary to cross on a red light

if everyone else is doin' it, too.

Those who're teamin' up and getting coordinated

are starting to get some traction.

The thing is,

we're looking for people who are a little more...

[phone rings]

What's up, Giran? How you been doin' lately?

Long time no talk.

I trust that you've been all right.

[BUBAIGAWARA] Hard to say.

I don't know how to tell if I'm doin' good or not.

I see, that is a tough break.

[BUBAIGAWARA] You didn't answer my question.

Are you okay? Tell me.

Yeah, sure I am.

I've been so busy I'm crying with delight.

These past few weeks, there's been

a monumental surge in the black market.

Everyone's looking for suits or support items.

Demand couldn't be any better, my friend.

And, of course, the League of Villains

are the darlings of the hour.

Well, that's nice to hear.

[TWICE] No, it's not.

Shut up! Dammit.

So? Why are you calling me?

I'm a busy man, you know.

[TWICE] I've got nothin' to do.

I couldn't get ahold of Dabi.

Any idea where he is?

Shigaraki wants everyone to have a quick meetup.

I'm sure he'll be contacting you soon.

[TWICE] I know where he is.

No, I don't.

You can't keep pullin' this crap.

Right. Okay, then.

Caught you at a bad time. Take care of yourself, huh?

[BUBAIGAWARA] Damn it. I'm me. I'm in control.

[BUBAIGAWARA] The league of villains is currently

scattered across different locations.

To get the police off our backs.

Hide our trails. And recruit new comrades.

The goal is to make the organization even bigger.

[HOODLUM VILLAIN 62A] What the hell are you?

Your face makes me wanna puke.

[HOODLUM VILLAIN 62B] Keep lookin' at me like that

and I'll kill ya.

[DABI] Pity. You're not what we need.

[HOODLUM VILLAINS scream]

Stay down. You make good fuel.

Allow my flames to consume you.

[BUBAIGAWARA] This is no good.

I need to bind myself together. I'm gonna tear apart.

[BUBAIGAWARA groans, pants]

Split in two.

[TWICE] Once I'm wrapped up, I'm whole.

[rumbling]

[TWICE] Here's a story.

I used to be one of those guys who liked to cause trouble.

My Quirk is called Twice.

It's a simple power that turns one thing into two.

I can make a clone of myself.

And then make clones from that clone.

An entire gang of just me.

I made my clones do everything.

I was a king ruling over them.

But, the other mes weren't satisfied with that.

And they put together a little coup.

[TWICE] I was almost killed by myself.

The things I make don't disappear

until they've taken some serious damage.

Before long, all of us were arguing with each other.

Each one of us thinking we were actually the real me.

This absurd self-mutilation continued

for nine days. Can you imagine that?

In the end, they killed each other.

And disappeared. All gone.

Ever since then, I haven't been sure

that I'm the real me.

How could I be after all the madness?

And there's no place in the world

where crazy people can belong.

Heroes only care about saving good citizens.

But the league accepted me as I am,

problems and all.

And I'd like to think I'm okay with who I am, too.

Now, I'm scouting people.

Trying to find the ones with the same kind of crazy.

[TWICE] We're all wackos lookin' for a place we belong.

[CHISAKI] A bunch of capable adults got together

and all they stole was a convenience store register?

Heh.

This big a gang, they should have shot for a loftier goal.

[CHISAKI] You guys aren't well.

What you need is a cure.

[KURONO] We got the money.

We should skedaddle before any heroes get here, yeah?

Overhaul.

[CHISAKI] They're all sick. Every last one of them.

[TWICE] But the biggest wackos have stopped searching

for a place to belong and created their own.

Both the hero side and our side have started

changing in unexpected ways.

Still. What's important is knowing who you truly are.

What you wanna become.

What you wanna do.

Yes. That's very important.

So. What should I do?

[IZUKU] There's hardly any pain or weird sensations.

[DOCTOR 46A] In other words, if you sustain

this type of injury, even just two or three more times,

I don't think you're going to be able

to move your arms anymore.

I was really careful to hold back

when I threw a punch against Kacchan yesterday.

But when I'm not fully under control of my emotions,

I should be extra careful to not use my arms.

Instead, I'll concentrate on my Shoot Style.

Listen up, everyone!

Stay in line and move promptly into position.

I want to see order!

Uh. You're the only one who's not in line.

[TENYA] The dilemma of a class rep!

I heard a little rumor about Class 1-A.

Two people!

You had two people fail the licensing exam, you losers!

Monoma from Class B.

He's just as uhinged as usual.

Bet you were the only one in your class to fail.

Just like in the final, huh?

[laughs]

That wasn't an answer!

Ha! Actually...

Every one of us passed.

We've pulled ahead of you big shots.

I'm sorry. It's my fault.

They're the ones who're turning it into a competition.

It's no big deal.

Accordin' ta teacher Vlad, we'll have classes

together this semester--doesn't that sound like it'll be fun?

I'm lookin' forward to it.

[KIRISHIMA] I can't wait to test out my skills!

Oh hey, isn't she the exchange student?

Touch me and I'll pummel you till

yo mama doesn't know ya.

[laughs]

Stop filling her mind with crazy!

[SHINSO] Hey. We're tryin' to get through back here.

Our apologies. Come on, everyone.

Save your chit chat for later.

We're clogging up the hallways.

I honestly can't believe how uncool you are.

Shinso.

Oh right, the guy who fought Midoriya

at the sports festival.

You sure that's the same guy?

Looks like he's bulked up a bit since then.

Hi there! It's the adorable small mammal

you all know and love, the principal.

You may notice the fur I'm so proud of

has deteriorated in quality.

I haven't been taking care of it.

This is something that can happen to humans, too.

Even if you eat a balanced diet full of vitamins and minerals,

you won't have a mane of luscious locks

unless you're getting lots of sleep. That's the secret!

Disturbances in your normal resting patterns

are terrible for your hair.

So, if you want to improve your fur's...

[OJIRO] Is this really important right now?

[KAMINARI] Please tell me he's almost done.

My own sleep cycle has been upset by the incidents

that took place over summer vacation,

which I'm sure everyone here knows about already.

We lost a pillar of hope.

The ramifications of which have appeared faster

than I could have ever imagined.

And there will likely be even more chaos

throughout our world in the near future.

In particular,

this will be most apparent to those of you

studying in the hero course.

You must approach extracurricular activities,

like the hero work studies available

to second and third years,

with a greater sense of caution...

Hero work studies?

Maybe they're the next level

after the internships we already did?

[NEZU] The air always feels heavy

when we talk about gloomy subjects.

But, rest assured, your teachers are working hard

to remove this weight from your shoulders.

I'd like all of you to learn from their diligence,

and remember that hard work will help you develop

into capable heroes.

Whether hero core, support, business,

or general studies.

I don't want any of you to forget

that you're the one's who will inherit our society.

[VLAD KING] Well spoken. Thank you, Principal Nezu.

[NEZU] If you're looking for a successor,

there's no place overflowing with more

raw talent than UA High School.

Think about coming to teach for us.

Given your current state, I'd recommend cutting back

on the heroing, anyway.

And trust me, I'm not saying this without

a few students in mind.

I have no doubt that someone worthy of your power

walks the halls of our fine school.

[VLAD KING] Now, we'll hear from the extra-curricular

guidance teacher.

Please give Mr. Hound Dog your attention.

[HOUND DOG] Yesterday...

[HOUND DOG growls]

Two students--

[snarls]

[howls]

[VLAD KING] All right.

As you just heard, there were students fighting last night.

I know you're not used to life in the dorms,

but let's all be a little more respectful moving forward.

[KIRISHIMA, KAMINARI] What was Mr. Hound Dog

even here for?

Does he forget human speech when he gets angry?

There's still so much weird stuff at UA I don't know about.

Midoriya and Bakugo were doing well,

but now they're being treated as problem children.

[VLAD KING] That's it. Back to the classrooms

starting with the third years.

[HADO] Hey, hey, listen to what I heard!

It was a couple of first-years who were fighting.

Two boys from Class 1-A.

Isn't that a scoop? Hey, do you know them?

They must get excited easily.

Really?

[AIZAWA] Okay.

Starting today, we'll resume our regular classes

and training schedule.

I know a lot has happened recently, however,

you need to switch gears and focus on your school duties.

We're lecturing today, but this semester

you'll have even harsher training than before.

[ASHIDO] He can't mean that, right?

Like to share, Ashido?

His icy stare is back!

[TSUYU] Excuse me, sir. May I ask a question?

What were those things the principal

was talking about during the opening ceremonies?

I've never heard the term hero work studies before.

I know right?

That had me pretty confused, too.

I also have concerns.

He said they're something

the upperclassmen participate in, correct?

[AIZAWA] I was planning to talk more about those

at a later date, but I guess telling you now is more logical.

To put it simply, it's work outside of class.

Like the internships you did at pro hero agencies before.

Only closer to the real thing.

[OCHACO] Huh. I never heard about these.

Wait, then why did we work so hard at the sports fest?!

She has a point.

If we have work studies, those who weren't scouted

at the sports festival still have career paths.

You gotta calm down. You're acting kinda nutso.

This doesn't make sense!

You'll be using your connections

from the festival to secure a work study.

It's basic networking.

This isn't part of your normal classwork.

It's discretionary for each student.

That means those who weren't scouted

at the sports festival will have a hard time

lining one up, I'm afraid.

Originally, individual agencies recruited on their own.

But there was lots of competition as people

tried to recruit UA students.

So this is how things ended up.

Good enough, Ochaco?

I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions, sir.

[AIZAWA] Now that you have your provisional licenses,

you can assist in real ways, for longer periods of time.

Until now, there haven't been many first years

who've received their licenses.

With the increased activity of villains,

we're currently exploring the idea

that you can participate in work studies as well.

We'll explain more about the work study positions

and what that program entails at a later date, but for now...

We've got other things to worry about.

That's all. Sorry to keep you waiting, Mic.

[PRESENT MIC] First period is English!

In other words, it's jam time!

Been an age since I stood on this stage.

Ya miss me?

We've got a lot to cover today!

Let's get rollin' with it. Ya dig?

Excuse me, but what is with this dust, Bakugo?

[KATSUKI] Deku was s'posed to do that! Shut up!

Hey, can't you even clean something right, you idiot?!

Right! Sorry!

Man. I'm so beat.

[IZUKU] Hey, guys. If you put your trash in the halls,

I'll take everything down in a second.

[SATO] So, Present Mic's class today...

You as lost as I was?

Were we supposed to know all the grammar

he was going over?

[ASHIDO] Oh, yeah, that! Right?

I was, like, is this even English?

[KIRISHIMA] I think I studied the wrong chapters!

[SATO] I got stuck at the beginning and then

I couldn't figure out anything after that.

[JIRO] About those work studies.

I wasn't scouted, so I wonder if I'll get to participate in one.

[HAGAKURE] Maybe we can go to the places

we did our internships.

I'd be totally down with doing that.

[OJIRO] I hope I get to do one.

[TENYA high-pitched] In just one day,

I've been completely left behind!

That's what you're thinking, right, House Arrest?

Hey, don't call me that, it's mean!

Um, Iida. What's a work study?

Something I can't tell you about.

The teachers have forbidden us from giving you

any details about our classes.

Sorry, but you'll just have to experience the same shock

and surprise we went through.

Did you catch that? Bakugo?

Shut your mouth! I heard you, four eyes.

[IZUKU] Aw, man. What is a work study?

I'm clearly being left behind.

I know it's just the start of the semester,

but these three days of house arrest

are gonna hit me really hard.

There's hero basic training tomorrow!

Everyone's gonna be learning new stuff

while I'm stuck hanging out in my room.

I hate this. I'm falling behind.

I can't slow down now.

Ha! Trash, amiright?

[yelps]

What are you doing?

You know you can just throw away the food trays

with the burnables, don't you?

Uh. Yeah.

[IZUKU] Am I going insane? What was that?

[IZUKU screams]

So, you must be that excitable first-year, aren't you?

Ha, ha! I bet that was a freaky surprise for ya.

Kinda sorry about that!

Gotta admit, I did pop up here 'cause I thought

you'd be shocked, though.

What in the world are you?

[laughs] Not a bad question there, my friend!

I admit, sometimes I even weird myself out!

You know, once in a blue moon.

But don't worry, you're gonna find out

who I am soon enough.

I'm just glad it looks like you've got a fighting spirit.

You see, the truth is that people are talking about you,

so I came to see what the fuss was about.

[IZUKU] Okay. What just happened?

I feel like I've seen him somewhere before.

[IZUKU] Despite it seeming like time was crawling by,

three days eventually passed,

and I turned in my written apology.

My house arrest ended the day before Kacchan's.

I was back!

Guys! I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused!

No sweat, Deku. Thanks for your hard work.

All he did was vacuum.

And what's with those steam nostrils?

Class Rep! Iida! I'm sorry I disappointed you!

Right. Well, I'm glad you learned from your mistakes.

Follow the rules from now on.

I'll catch up with everything I fell behind on

these past three days!

[KIRISHIMA] That's fightin' the spirit! Do it, man!

Time to take your seats, everyone.

[IZUKU yelps]

[chairs scraping]

[AIZAWA] Morning. Now that Midoriya is back,

we'll go into more detail about what the work studies entail.

Go ahead and come in.

[AIZAWA] I'll have people who've experienced them

firsthand explain.

[gasps]

[AIZAWA] I suggest you listen carefully as they point out

how work studies differ from internships.

[gasps]

[AIZAWA] These three are third years at UA.

They rank at the very top of our student body.

You may know them as the Big Three.

The Big Three. And it's him.

[IZUKU] Here's the preview!

In work studies, we'll be able to act like real heroes.

The students teaching us about the program

are those who rank above all other students at UA.

The trio known as the Big Three.

One of them is Mirio Togata,

who suddenly offers to fight everyone in my class!

How will I fair against the best students at school?

Do any of us stand a chance?

Next time: "Unrivaled"!

Wow, with that ability,

he could totally become the number-one hero!

Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
