Original subtitles

[IZUKU] This is a superhuman society,

with 80 percent of us possessing some uncanny ability.

Cities swirled with chaos and confusion

following the appearance of these powers,

and a new profession emerged.

We called those who fight for justice

and help others in need, "heroes."

Oh, by the way,

this is the story of how I became

the world's greatest hero!

[CROWD cheering]

[PRESENT MIC] Welcome back to the finals, everyone!

Sorry for that long wait.

The insane amount of ice from the second match

has finally been cleared, though,

so it's time to welcome new competitors!

Even beautiful flowers have thorns.

It's the assassin from Class 1-B.

Ibara Shiozaki from the hero course!

Versus the boy with the electric personality!

Another hero in the making, Denki Kaminari!

[CROWD cheering]

Keep those eyes peeled.

I wanna see a super-flashy battle this time!

[SHIOZAKI] Excuse me!

Please pardon the interruption.

I'm not sure why you called me an assassin.

I've come to the festival in search of victory,

not to take my opponent's life. That wouldn't be in line

with the values of a hero at all, sir.

Right. I'm sorry.

Gentlemen, I didn't enter UA for wicked

or selfish reasons, but to deliver salvation to others!

It is my humble quest to spread true good across this world.

[PRESENT MIC] Listen, I said I was sorry!

That was my bad, okay?

I thank you for your kind understanding.

I thought everyone in Class 1-B was a jerk.

[KAMINARI] Look at those big beautiful eyes.

And it looks like she might be strong, too.

Come on, you idiot--remember, this is a competition.

But, oh, man, she's so cute, though.

This is terrible. I'm gonna have to ask this girl out sometime.

[KAMINARI] Once I win this!

[PRESENT MIC] So, anyway. Begin!

What do ya say me and you go out after this?

I'd be happy to treat you to a bite.

Hm?

[KAMINARI] And comfort you after your loss.

'Cause this is all gonna be over in two seconds, honey.

Indiscriminate Shock.

One point three million volts!

[KAMINARI] Uh?

Uh, what?

[yelps]

[PRESENT MIC] He's immobilized! That's all, folks!

It was over in an instant!

The winner is Shiozaki! She advances on!

[CROWD cheers]

[SHIOZAKI] I'm just so thankful that I was able to make

the most of the opportunity I was given today.

[PRESENT MIC] Ibara Shiozaki. Her Quirk: Vines!

The vines on her head can extend to great lengths.

Plus, they're detachable!

As long as she gets plenty of water and sunlight,

they can grow instantly! It's one killer head a' hair.

Oh, yeah! Way to represent Class 1-B!

Man, she's good.

[MONOMA] Guess he was right.

That match really was over in just two seconds.

I wonder if his real Quirk is the ability

to tell the future.

Hey! Wasn't Class 1-A supposed to be so much better than us?

[laughing]

[KENDO grumbles]

[MONOMA grunts]

Sorry 'bout him.

[YAOYOROZU, JIRO, ASHIDO, TSUYU] I hate that guy.

[MT. LADY] Kamui, did you watch that?

[KAMUI WOODS] Hm?

[MT. LADY] Wouldn't she make, like,

the perfect sidekick for you?

[KAMUI WOODS] Yeah, wish I coulda seen more.

She's great for your brand. You need someone cute!

[KAMUI WOODS] Just get back to work.

[HERO 20D] As soon as she detached her vines, it was over.

No way was he going to avoid those.

[HERO 20A] Yeah, and his electric current couldn't

travel through them, so he couldn't hurt her.

Excellent offense and defense.

[HERO 20B] That binding hold was really impressive.

Smart girl. Kaminari never stood a chance against her.

[HERO 20A] It's tough when someone's Quirk

cancels yours out, but he still could've put up a fight.

[IZUKU] I've seen Kaminari in action--he's super strong.

But Shiozaki placed fourth in the entrance exam.

And those vines.

I wonder if she's studied Kamui Woods' moves.

Binding attacks can be really powerful.

I hardly ever see anyone break out when they're used.

It would be impossible to get close to her

while avoiding all those thorns and vines.

You'd have to find some way to tear them off

or just hack your way through using brute force.

Oh, but in order to keep you from doing that,

she'd probably go after your hands first,

so then what do you do?

Maybe you should take a sec to relax

before planning too many matches ahead.

[IZUKU yelps] Oh, sorry!

Sometimes I don't realize I'm talking out loud

when I'm taking notes.

t's not every day I get to see incredible Quirks

from people outside our class!

[OCHACO chuckles]

Uh, actually...

I've been taking notes on everybody in our class, too!

Here's what I've got on your Zero Gravity!

Uh--

[chuckles] Y'know, Deku,

I've always know that you're amazing.

You've got so much drive and focus in you.

And the sports festival's reminding me of that.

Uh?

[PRESENT MIC] Let's keep pumpin' out these hits and move on!

Time for the fourth match!

Get ready to watch two new players duke it out!

[CROWD cheers]

[PRESENT MIC] He's the kid with engines in his legs.

Tenya Iida from the hero course! Versus...

...a fully-equipped gadget dynamo.

The support course's Mei Hatsume!

So it's hero class versus support.

I have no idea what this fight will look like.

Uh, what's up with Iida?

[SATO] Where the heck did he get all that weird gear from?

Hero course students can't use support gear

unless they have to.

And you didn't fill out any of the proper paperwork for that.

[gasps] I didn't know that was the rule!

Aoyama got to wear his belt, so I thought it was fine.

[MIDNIGHT] He turned in the proper forms.

I apologize, ma'am.

It's just that, my heart was moved

by my opponent's sportsmanship.

Even though she's from the support course,

she wanted this to be as even a match as possible

since she made it this far. To have a fair fight!

So, she offered to give me this equipment.

I respect her integrity.

That's why, to honor her, I would like to wear this gear!

Such youthful vigor!

[giggles]

I'll allow it.

[PRESENT MIC] Really?

[AIZAWA] I guess if everyone's in agreement, then it's okay.

Right?

[IZUKU] Weird, that doesn't seem like something

Hatsume would do. Unless...

[giggles]

[PRESENT MIC] Well, if everyone's on the same page,

let's begin the fourth match!

[CROWD cheers]

Bet you love how fast that gear makes you!

Huh, Iida?

She's got a mic?

Hey, now.

[AIZAWA] Is she wearing speakers?

[TENYA panting]

[HATSUME] Don't your legs feel lighter than usual?

That's to be expected.

I designed those leg parts specifically to increase

the wearer's speed and mobility.

But, of course...

[TENYA yelps]

[HATSUME] I can easily evade you

with my hydraulic attachments!

[HATSUME] Those are boxes for support companies.

[HATSUME squeals]

They love my babies! I've got this in the bag!

[PRESENT MIC] Mei Hatsume. Her Quirk: Zoom!

If she gets serious, she can see up to five kilometers away!

Since I've got sensors in every direction,

it's impossible for an opponent to sneak up on me!

[TENYA yelps]

[TENYA yelps]

What the heck is going on?

Look at how adeptly Iida just changed his course!

It's all thanks to the ingenious auto-balancer I created.

This is weird.

[AIZAWA] She's turning the festival

into one big commercial.

[HATSUME] There's absolutely no lag time!

[TENYA growls]

[HATSUME] The auto-balancer is equipped

with a custom 32-axis gyro sensor!

As you can see, it can keep the user from falling

unless they actually want to.

I thought you said you wanted this to be a fair fight!

[yells]

[HATSUME cackles]

That's right, I'm practically flying through the air!

These electro shoes use electromagnetic induction

on both feet. They're perfect for evasive maneuvers

or just keeping things light!

As soon as she lands, I'll stop her!

Huh? What is this?

[HATSUME] A capture gun to use against villains!

The nets are loaded into small cartridges.

You can fire up to five before having to reload!

And all of these items were developed

by yours truly--Mei Hatsume, support course prodigy!

So, to any support companies out there

looking for strong new recruits, the choice is clear.

You want me!

Again, I'm Mei Hatsume, that's H-A-T-S-U-M-E.

She's something.

[HATSUME] And now, let me introduce you

to a few more of my babies.

Wait, there's more?

[HATSUME] Whew! That was fun, but I think now I've shown off

everything I wanted to.

I suppose it's time for me to wrap this show up.

Uh, Hatsume stepped out of bounds,

so Iida advances to the next round.

[TENYA] I can't believe I let you trick me!

Sorry about that.

I needed to use you to make a name for myself.

[TENYA] I looked like a fool!

Iida's so sincere, he trusted her motives.

She probably made it sound like she was doing him a favor.

She's so driven. Straightforward about her goals.

And from what I can tell, she'll pretty much do

whatever it takes to reach them.

Amazing.

[CROWD cheering]

[PRESENT MIC] We're gonna charge right along

to the fifth match.

Let's hope that gaudy belt serves some kinda purpose.

It's Yuga Aoyama from the hero course!

Bonjour.

[PRESENT MIC] Versus...

Is there some kinda purpose for those things

sticking out of her head?

From the same class, Mina Ashido!

This match is gonna be a piece a' cake.

I do believe you're going to be

eating those words, mademoiselle.

Come on, Mina, you can do it!

[MINETA] Don't show her any mercy, Aoyama!

Fight like you're in one of those video games

where everyone's clothes get beaten off!

[JIRO] You pervert!

A match between Aoyama and Ashido.

Let's see. Considering what their powers are,

Aoyama will probably keep his distance

and try to attack with his laser from far away.

So it'll all depend on whether or not Ashido

can dodge his attacks and manage to use her power

against him in close combat.

Problem is, there's nothing much for her to use

as cover in this ring.

So she's at a slight disadvantage.

Now let's get started!

Fifth match... Begin!

[AOYAMA] Navel laser, activate!

Think again!

We were on the same team for combat training,

so I know all about your Quirk, Aoyama.

I can say the same thing about you.

Sure, but there's a big difference.

I remember something you said.

Shooting my beam for more than a second

can sometimes hurt my tummy.

I know your weakness!

Here's a big one!

Ow. My tummy.

There's my shot!

Oh, no! Oh, no, no, no! Not my precious belt!

[yelps]

[AOYAMA] My pants!

For my finishing move...

...an uppercut!

[AOYAMA whimpering dramatically]

[MIDNIGHT] Aoyama has fainted!

The winner of this match is Ashido!

Dang, Aoyama went down hard!

That's an indisputable victory

if I've ever seen one, sports fans!

Wow, Mina is amazing!

[thud]

I got to see panites, but why were they his?

[JIRO] Oh, for crying out loud.

[MINETA whimpers]

[sighs]

[IZUKU] The match unfolded like I though it would,

but I definitely underestimated Ashido.

Although, now that I think about it, she did place ninth

outta the class in that Quirk assessment test.

She has a great power, but she won

because of her physical strength.

[PRESENT MIC] Now, let's not let this hot streak cool.

Time to move on to the sixth match!

[KAMUI WOODS] We're not here to watch TV!

[PRESENT MIC] Offense and defense in one!

The dark samurai and his darker shadow!

From the hero course, Fumikage Tokoyami!

Versus...

The great creator!

She was admitted because of recommendations

and I think we can all see why.

Also from Class 1-A, Momo Yaoyorozu!

How do you think this one will end? Any clue?

Timing is going to be the key thing here.

Oh? How so?

[YAOYOROZU] Present Mic's description of Tokoyami

was accurate. With Dark Shadow,

he's skilled at both attacking and defending.

He can also call upon the creature instantaneously,

so there's little doubt he'll start the match

with a preemptive strike.

If I can make a simple shield, I can block him.

But I'll have to be fast about it,

or else this fight will be over in a matter of seconds.

Just like that.

Then, if I have enough time to make...

[PRESENT MIC] Sixth match... Begin!

Go, Dark Shadow!

[DARK SHADOW] I've got her!

[YAOYOROZU] Quickly! A shield!

Now it's my turn to attack!

[YAOYOROZU] I can't focus on my Quirk!

[yelps]

[YAOYOROZU yelps]

[YAOYOROZU] Why has he stopped? This is my chance!

[MIDNIGHT] Yaoyorozu!

You're out!

[gasps]

[MIDNIGHT] This match goes to Tokoyami!

[CROWD cheers]

[PRESENT MIC] Yikes! Another fast, overwhelming victory!

Is it possible that Tokoyami's Dark Shadow

is the greatest Quirk ever? I think so!

I lost...

I didn't even... do anything.

Tokoyami is way too powerful.

I can't believe he forced her out of bounds

by focusing his attacks on her shield.

He obviously had a strategy worked out.

Yeah, I guess so.

Maybe he didn't wanna hurt her.

I bet she's really upset about how that went down.

[OJIRO] I feel bad for her.

[PRESENT MIC] Okay, let's see who we've got for ya next.

[PRESENT MIC] The seventh matchup includes

two completely redundant Quirks!

One of them's a passionate, manly fighter made of steel.

The hero course's Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu!

Bring it!

[PRESENT MIC] Versus...

...a passionate, manly fighter made of rock!

The hero course's Eijiro Kirishima!

Seriously, even our intros are the same?

Make us proud, Tetsutetsu! Win just like Ibara did!

[snoring]

Look alive, shorty.

[yelps]

[PRESENT MIC] Can't wait to see how this one ends!

Begin!

[yells]

[yells]

[KIRISHIMA, TETSUTETSU grunt]

[TENYA sighs]

[OCHACO] Hey, Iida, you did great out there.

Oh. Urara--

Whoa, what's with that face? Ugh!

My face?

Oh, it's nothing!

I guess I'm not great at hiding how nervous I am.

I get that. You are up against Bakugo, after all.

Not exactly an easy match.

Yeah, I'm kinda scared.

But, you know, after seeing your match, I feel a little better.

What's that supposed to mean?

[door clicks]

[IZUKU] Uraraka!

[OCHACO] Deku!

Why aren't you out there watching the matches?

Well, most of them ended how I expected them to.

And, it's looking like Kirishima's fight's

going to drag on for quite a while.

[yelling]

I thought you were supposed to be strong!

Funny, I heard the same lie about you!

I'm next.

So this is it. My fight.

It'll be okay!

I don't think Bakugo would use the full power

of his explosions on a girl, right?

Yeah, he would.

[OCHACO whimpers]

And besides, everyone's trying to get the top spot

in these games. Even if she wasn't fighting Kacchan,

I don't think anyone would hold back.

You've helped me so much.

It's my turn to help you.

Maybe I can repay you a little bit with this.

[IZUKU] I've got a plan for how you can use

your Quirk against Kacchan.

It's not much, but I did my best.

Hey! Well, all right! This is perfect!

[OCHACO] Thank you so much for doing that.

But, no. Sorry.

What?

[OCHACO] You're wonderful, Deku.

I keep seeing that over and over again.

During the cavalry battle, I told you

it was good to team up with friends.

But now that I think about it,

I might've been trying to rely on you to get by.

That's why

when Iida said that he was trying his best to beat you,

I actually felt kind of embarrassed for myself.

Uraraka...

So it's fine. Really.

[OCHACO] Everyone's facing their future

and giving this their best. That means we're all rivals.

Even you and me, Deku. So...

Guess I'll see you in the finals.

[KIRISHIMA grunts]

[TETSUTETSU grunts]

[KIRISHIMA grunts]

[TETSUTETSU, KIRISHIMA grunt, groan]

[yelling]

[yelling]

[PRESENT MIC] Wow, that hurt me and all I'm doin'

is watchin' these guys! Is it over?

The hardheads look like they're KO'd!

But who is the winner?

They're both down! It's a draw!

When the contestants recover from this battle,

the winner will be determined by a simple contest.

Perhaps arm wrestling.

Weird, they're basically copies of each other.

You gotta appreciate the passion

they brought to the ring. It's inspiring, really.

I could use a good sidekick like that.

[PRESENT MIC] While we wait for Tetsutetsu and Kirishima

to recover, we'll move on to the next battle.

[CROWD cheers]

Ribbit. This might be the most disturbing matchup.

I know. I almost don't wanna watch it.

[BOTH gasp]

[IZUKU] Do your best. You got this.

[PRESENT MIC] The eighth and final battle

in the first round of matches.

He was kind of a hot shot in middle school,

and just look at that determined face!

From the hero course, Katsuki Bakugo.

Versus...

The one I'm personally rooting for,

also from Class 1-A, Ochaco Uraraka!

[inhales]

[exhales]

[PRESENT MIC] Let the eighth match... begin!

[OCHACO] Oh, hi, Deku.

I guess we should do the preview now, huh?

[IZUKU] Uraraka, why do you sound so down?

Oh, wait, it's because your first match is against Kacchan.

[OCHACO] But I can beat him!

I have to so I can get scouted and become a hero.

Then my parents can have an easy life!

Deku! I'll meet you in the final match!

[IZUKU] That's the spirit! Good luck, Uraraka!

[OCHACO] Next time: "Bakugo vs. Uraraka"!

[IZUKU] An unexpected meteor shower could pave the way

for your path to victory!

[OCHACO] I'm gonna go beyond!

[OCHACO, IZUKU] Plus Ultra!
