My Hero Academia (僕のヒーローアカデミア)

Hey!

Deku has a Quirk, right?

You saw that extraordinary strength, didn't you?

Did he dare trick me?!

That damn nerd!

He's a piece of work...

...but his goal, his confidence, his physical strength, and his Quirk...

...are way more amazing than mine.

But...

...that's why right now...

...I don't want... to lose...

Now, let's start the indoor person-to-person combat training with Team A and Team D!

Come Deku...

...don't dodge.

I won't do so much damage that this fight gets stopped, but I'm gonna get close!

Wow, he's like a martial arts master!

What's with this guy?

Did he read my moves?

My "Deku" isn't always going to mean "useless"!

Kacchan...

...my "Deku" means 'You can do it!"

Because Kacchan and I lived in the same neighborhood...

...we've known each other since we were little.

Let's go kill the enemy!

Okay!

O-Okay...!

He was the type who could do anything he tried his hand at...

...a rascal who led the group of neighborhood kids.

Good or bad aside...

...Kacchan was full of confidence...

...and I thought he was so cool.

But...

...after his Quirk manifested...

...it accelerated him down the wrong path.

Even though you're scared...

That's what I...

...hate about you!

All men are not created equal.

This was the reality I learned about society at the young age of four.

Hey, Bakugo!

Give me your status!

What happened?

Just shut up and defend.

I'm really angry right now!

I'm not asking about how you feel!

Hey!

He hung up...

Going off on his own like that...

What is wrong with him?!

Jeez!

What was Bakugo saying?

Can't tell with just the cameras in a fixed position and no sound.

He's talking to his partner over the small wireless radio.

You can bring that plus the building's floor plan...

...and...

...this capture tape!

Once you wrap this around your opponent, it shows that you have captured them.

The time limit is 15 minutes,

and the heroes don't know where the nuclear weapon is located, right?

Yes!

The heroes are clearly at a disadvantage here!

Heroes should be able to turn the tables on whatever predicament they're in.

Besides, didn't Mr. Aizawa tell you, too?

You know—

Here we go—

Plus Ultra!

Monsieur, Bakugo is—

Uraraka, go!

Looking away?

You must be sure of yourself.

The capture tape—?!

Hero notebook number 10...

...page 18!

I'm glad I got to see Eraser Head's moves in person!

What's next?

If it's Kacchan, he'll be impatient

and swing with his right again!

I was right!

That guy's amazing!

He's not even using his Quirk fighting against the guy who finished first in the entrance exam!

He was always good at reacting quickly in a crisis.

He spent years writing his notes and internalizing them.

That fanboy knowledge...

...is now paying off...

...as it propels him forward.

He kicked first this time to keep me from predicting his moves.

He's being cautious now.

Come back here, Deku!

I can't get close to him as easily anymore.

I need a plan.

Hey!

You tricked me, didn't you?!

Was it fun tricking me all this time?!

Huh?!

You have got a flashy Quirk there, don't you?!

Try and get me with it!

'Cause I'm way above you!

He seems real angry.

It's scary!

I had heard from young Midoriya that young Bakugo thinks well of himself, but this is too much.

He completely ignored Uraraka and shot at me.

I knew it.

If they were going to send an advance guard, it would have been better to send Iida, who has more mobility,

and I'm sure he knows that.

That probably means he's running wild on his own, and the two of them aren't working together.

In the first place, our chances of winning are lowest if we have a head-to-head battle with those two.

If Uraraka and I both went to the hideout, that's what would happen.

And even if the two of us stayed here to fight Kacchan,

we're in danger of running out of time.

This is fine.

All that's left is for Uraraka to find the weapon and Iida,

and then I'll head over for a 2-on-1 fight.

That's how we can win.

That's assuming I can beat Kacchan, though.

It's fine.

As long as I'm careful of his palms, I can do this.

Where are you?!

You damn nerd!

And...

...I forgot to tell you, Kacchan—

You're Quirkless!

How can you even stand in the same ring as me?

It's not like I'm trying to compete with you or anything!

Believe me!

I take back... everything I said!

That's why...

I'm going...!

My "Deku" means "You can do it!"

He's just a pebble!

Wow, Kacchan!

This is easy!

Ow!

Izuku, you really can't do anything, can you?

You can read the characters for "Izuku" as "Deku," you know.

Kacchan, you can read?

You can't?

And "Deku" means someone who can't do anything!

Ohhh?

Ohhh?

Stop that...

Why don't you know?

Kacchan, how many times did yours skip?

Seven!

Wow!

As expected!

What about you, Deku?

Z-Zero times...

Why can't you do it?

Wow!

Lucky!

That's so cool!

Wow, that's an amazing Quirk!

It really is!

It's a flashy Quirk just right for a hero, right, Katsuki?

Oh, I see!

I'm amazing!

No one is...

...as amazing as I am!

You're so lucky, Kacchan.

Your Quirk's so cool!

I hope I get mine soon, too.

No matter what Quirk you get, you'll never beat me.

He's just a pebble!

Hey, did you hear?

Deku doesn't have a Quirk.

What? Really?

Yeah, it's called being "Quirkless."

That's so lame.

Too bad for him.

He's so weird!

Don't worry about it, Izuku.

You're the least amazing, Deku.

Forward march, members of the Bakugo Hero Agency!

Kacchan!

Hey, are you okay?

He's fine.

Kacchan's real strong!

See?

I was fine!

Hurry up and get back up here!

'Kay, no problem!

Nothing was wrong!

Are you all right?

Can you stand?

It would have been bad if you hit your head.

Don't look at me with that face!

You looked like you were asking for help...

Stop it...!

I'm...

I'm way above him!

Found it.

Now I just have to tell Deku and hide until he gets here.

Baku go is a natural at being bad, but that fits this training perfectly.

Then I must also devote myself to being a villain.

That's right.

This is another trial to turn me into a man who will not bring shame to the Iida family.

Become a villain!

Be dyed with evil in order to become a hero!

I am...

...extremely evil!
