My Hero Academia (僕のヒーローアカデミア)

The prestigious school that turned out many heroes, U.A. High School.

Enrolled in their hero course, I continue to run toward my dream,

standing up to any difficulties and saving people with a smile...

...in order to become the greatest hero!

All Might said, "I can't save the people I can't reach."

That's why he will always save those he can reach.

I... was in a place where I could reach...

I had to save him...

That's what my Quirk is for...

My body... wouldn't move...

It was all I could do to save Kota...

I couldn't save someone right in front of me...

"Eijiro Kirishima - Quirk: Hardening"

Then, let's save him this time.

"Tenya Iida - Quirk: Engine"

This is something we should leave to the pros!

This isn't the place for us to act, you idiots!

We know that!

But, I couldn't do anything!

After I heard that my friend was being targeted!

I couldn't do anything!

I didn't do anything!

If I don't do anything now,

I won't be a hero or a man anymore!

Hey, Midoriya, your hand can still reach!

"Izuku Midoriya - Quirk: One For All"

We can go save him!

"From Iida to Midoriya"

So, in short, you're planning on getting the receiver from Yao-momo, following it,

"Mina Ashido - Quirk: Acid"

and going to save Bakugo yourselves?

Yeah.

Even though the villains said we were targets to be killed,

they took Bakugo without killing him.

"Shoto Todoroki - Quirk: Half-Cold, Half-Hot"

They probably let him live,

but that doesn't mean they won't kill him eventually.

Kirishima and I are going.

Don't go overboard with your messing around!

Wait. Calm down.

"Mezo Shoji - Quirk: Dupli-Arms"

I understand Kirishima's frustration at not being able to do anything

and Todoroki's frustration at having him stolen in front of his very eyes.

I'm frustrated, too.

But, this isn't a situation where we should act on our emotions.

Right?

L-Let's leave this to All Might...

"Yuga Aoyama - Quirk: Navel Laser"

Mr. Aizawa's permission to fight at the training camp has been rescinded, too.

"Fumikage Tokoyami - Quirk: Dark Shadow"

Aoyama's right.

I can't say much since I was the one who needed saving, though...

But--

Everyone, we're all shocked from Bakugo's kidnapping.

But let's think things through calmly.

"Tsuyu Asui - Quirk: Frog"

No matter how just your feelings,

if you're saying you'll fight again...

...that you'll break the rules...

Those acts are the same as those of villains.

"Rikido Sato - Quirk: Sugar Rush" "Koji Koda - Quirk: Anivoice"

"Mashirao Ojiro - Quirk: Tail" "Ochaco Uraraka - Quirk: Zero Gravity"

"Hanta Sero - Quirk: Tape"

"Minoru Mineta - Quirk: Pop Off" "Denki Kaminari - Quirk: Electrification"

Sorry to interrupt...

It's time for Midoriya's exam...

Wh-Why don't we go?

I wanna see how Jiro and Hagakure are doing, too.

Oh yeah.

Deku, feel better soon.

Thanks, all of you.

We talked to Yaoyorozu yesterday.

If we go, we go right away. Tonight.

Since you were seriously injured, I don't know if you can move,

but we still wanted to invite you

because you're probably the most frustrated out of everyone.

We'll be waiting in front of the hospital tonight.

"Orthopedic Surgery"

While you were out,

Recovery Girl performed some pretty strong healing on you,

so I think you should be able to move them,

but they were pretty messed up.

You've had a lot of pretty bad injuries recently in a relatively short amount of time,

but frankly, this time doesn't even come close to those.

By "doesn't come close," you mean...

I got special permission to see a copy of your chart up until now,

and all the times before this,

your bones broke like a firecracker exploding from the inside.

But this time was especially bad.

Usually, a person's body has limiters to keep it from using more than 80% of its power.

But when someone faces a crisis situation,

it's possible for those limiters to come off, allowing them to use 100% of their power.

It's called "hysterical strength," like when a mom lifts a car off her child.

But we have those limiters because our bodies can't take that strain.

This time, it looks like your power erupted while you were in the "hysterical strength" stage,

and for a long time at that.

It's bad enough for your bones and muscles to get battered,

but it's worse for your ligaments...

Ligaments protect the joints, and they are deteriorating badly.

In other words,

if you keep getting injured in the same way two or three more times or so,

I think you'll have to live without being able to use your arms.

All you can do is work on rehabilitation to get them back to normal.

Use them a lot, even if it hurts.

We'll be leaving the rest to U.A., back home, so you'll be discharged from here today.

Th-Thank you very much.

I'm sorry to have caused you trouble.

Ms. Recovery was fed up with you.

You must've gotten many scoldings from her in the past.

But there was someone who was saved by you, too.

"To Mr. Midoriya" "Kota"

Well, healing begins in the mind, so don't worry too much, and stay positive.

"Dear Mr. Midoriya,

I'm sorry I punched you in the balls.

Thank you for saving me even though you barely knew me.

Please get better soon so I can thank you in person.

Kota."

Kota...

Mom?

Yeah, I was discharged.

But there's something I have to do,

so I won't be home until tomorrow or the day after--

Yeah... Yeah...

I can move now, at least.

My body feels kind of sluggish,

but it looks like they performed some strong healing on me.

I heard that it's because U.A. wants to keep students close,

and also to keep the media away.

Izuku...

...do you have to go to U.A.?

Endeavor, a phone call for you.

Who is it?

A Mr. Tsukauchi from the police.

It's me.

We would like to request your urgent assistance, Endeavor.

"No. 2 Hero - Endeavor"

I have received an emergency summons and must leave this place for a while.

Even if I am not here,

I want you to keep being strong in both mind and body like a pair of tight jeans

"No. 4 Hero - Best Jeanist"

and continue to keep the streets safe while I'm gone.

Sure, Best Jeanist!

"No. 5 Hero - Edgeshot"

"No. 10 Hero - Gang Orca"

"Gran Torino"

"Wild, Wild Pussycats - Tiger"

"Kamui Woods"

"Mt. Lady"

You want me to make a receiver?

Yeah, please!

You already know why we want it, right?

Please let me think about it...

I wonder what Yaoyorozu decided.

Well, no matter how restless we are, it's up to her.

She's here!

"Momo Yaoyorozu - Quirk: Creation"

Midoriya...

Yaoyorozu... What's your answer?

I--

Wait!

Iida?

Iida...

Why... Why did it have to be you guys of all people?!

The ones who stopped me when I acted recklessly for personal reasons...

You two, who received amnesty with me...

Why are you trying to make the same mistake I did?!

It's too much!

What are you talking about?

We are still minors.

U.A. is in a bad enough position as it is.

Who will take responsibility for your actions?

Do you understand?!

Iida, it's not like that.

We don't think it's okay to break the rules either--

I'm frustrated, too!

And worried! It's only natural!

I am the class representative!

I'm worried about my classmates!

Not just Bakugo!

When I saw your injuries, I also saw my brother in his sickbed!

What if your bodies end up irreparable,

like my brother's, because of your recklessness?

Are you saying that you don't care about my worries?

Are you saying that you don't care about how I feel...?

Iida...

Iida.

We don't expect to face them head-on and win either.

We'll extricate him without fighting.

In other words, covert action!

That's the way we students can fight while toeing the line on the rules!

I trust Todoroki.

But so that I can stop them if anything happens, I plan to accompany them, as well.

Yaoyorozu!

Yaoyorozu!

I don't know myself, either,

but after hearing that I could still reach, I couldn't just sit still...

I can't help thinking that I want to save him.

Top heroes have stories about them from their school days.

Most of their stories have one thing in common:

Their bodies moved before they had a chance to think.
