My Hero Academia (僕のヒーローアカデミア)

That's mean, Kattchan.

Look, he's crying.

If you don't stop,

I…

I won't forgive you!

A Quirkless

trying to be a Hero,

Deku?

Men are not created equal.

This is the reality of society I learned at the age of four.

And it was my...

first and last setback.

IZUKU MIDORIYA

TATOUIN STATION

That's a giant Villain!

I held my breath at 5 a.m. Like I was absorbing the calm

I bite my nails at the emergency exit Which way is tomorrow?

Nights that never end Endlessly falling rain

Exist in this terrible world

It's not odd at all You're always tripping up, half asleep

I'm not blaming you for it

Playing alone in your fantasy

Will you be

Ashamed of what you imagined there?

It's a twisted maze

Are you saying that you'll still go?

The sound of the small adventurer's bell Marks a new beginning

Don't know where to go

Are you sure you aren't scared?

Each step you take will change you

It all started in Qingqing city, China.

An illuminating baby was born.

DAD

Since then, powers have been discovered.

And time passed without knowing why.

Before we knew it,

paranormal became normal

and dreams became reality.

Now with 80% of the world's population

having a special trait,

it's a superhuman society.

In this chaotic world,

the job that everyone once dreamed of

came into light.

That job is…

Death Arms!

The Punching Hero who uses his strength for justice!

Hey guys, this is dangerous

so stay back.

The rescue specialist, Backdraft has come to the scene!

What an awesome Quirk, you turn into a monster.

What did he do?

Snatched a purse.

He almost got caught and went crazy.

A Quirk like that and a thief, huh?

I'm sorry, the trains...

I don't know what time I can make it.

Go Kamui!

Don't come near me!

Who is fighting?

It's Kamui Woods!

The young and talented rising star!

You ask but commentate perfectly.

You're an otaku !

Uh... no.

Illegal use of powers during rush hour

and robbery with violence.

You are an evil avatar.

Here it comes!

Show us something good, Tree Man!

Strike.

Binding...

Chain Prison!

Canyon Canon!

It's here, it's here...

Today's my debut day.

My name is Mt. Lady.

Happy to be of your ass-quaintance.

It's here, it's here…

The credit...

Along with the powers

came an increased number of crime.

While the country waited for new law reforms,

people with courage

became Heroes, like from the comics.

Guarding powers

and protecting from evil.

Heroes soon gained citizenship

and their heroism became an official position.

Based on their performance, they are rewarded.

Money from the government

and fame from people.

Gigantism, huh?

She seems popular and has a great Quirk.

But considering the city's damage,

her actions may be limited.

But if she can control it...

Are you taking notes to be a Hero?

Do your best!

Yes, I will!

IZUKU MIDORIYA: ORIGIN

ARUDERA JUNIOR HIGH

You guys are in your third year,

so it's time to be serious about your future.

I'll pass out forms for your future plans,

but everyone...

is taking the hero course, right?

Yeah!

Great Quirks everyone!

But using your Quirk at school

isn't allowed, OK?

Teacher,

don't put us all in the same category.

I don't plan to aim low like all these

Quirk rejects.

KATSUKI BAKUGOU

-Can't believe you Katsuki! -Yeah!

You should all just shut up!

Oh yes. Bakugou

is going to UA High School?

The national school?

Its standardized rank score is 79!

The competition is crazy!

This is why you all are extras.

I aced the mock test.

I'm the only one here qualified for UA.

I will even surpass All Might

and become the top Hero.

My name will be listed on the highest paid list!

Midoriya wants to go to UA too, right?

What, Midoriya? No way!

You can't take the hero course just by studying.

That rule doesn't exist now.

No one's tried...

Hey Deku!

Your'e not only a reject

but a Quirkless too.

So why are you on the same level as me?

No, wait, Kattchan.

I don't mean to compete with you at all.

It's true!

It's just... It's been my dream from when I was a kid.

And I have to…

at least try, you know?

What do you mean, "at least try!"

Are you playing?

What can someone like you do?

You're Quirkless!

IMAI HOUSING

02 THE SAME CITY

He's a thief! Someone!

Catch me if you can!

Hey, where's the Hero?

Usually, someone comes right away.

He took advantage of the morning bustle.

So many people don't know what to do with their powers.

There's just no end.

Yes, there is.

Why, you say?

Because I am here!

Let's go karaoke.

Yeah, sure.

This morning's incident is on the top page.

I need to write it down in my notebook.

We're not finished yet, Deku.

Katsuki, what is that?

Hero analysis for the future

My hero analysis for the future?

Are you serious?

Midoriya.

Come on, give it back.

You're awful.

Most top Heroes have legends

inscribed from their school days.

I want to be the first ever to go

to UA High School

from this boring school.

Well, I am a perfectionist.

So petty.

So just in case,

don't apply to UA, alright?

At least try to say something.

Don't say that.

Poor thing,

he just hasn't seen reality yet.

If you want to be a Hero that much,

there is an efficient way.

Believe to have a Quirk in your next life

and dive off from the school roof.

What?
