My Hero Academia (僕のヒーローアカデミア)

Whether or not anyone asked for you,

you will all be participating in internships with pros.

You've got an offer from a hero!

The hero's name is Gran Torino.

He was a teacher at U.A. for only one year.

The man who was my homeroom teacher.

I'm here from U.A. High. My name is Izuku Midoriya...

Nice to meet yo--

He's dead!

I'm alive!

He's alive!

Man...

When I was carrying a string of sausages with ketchup poured over them, I fell!

"Pro Hero - Gran Torino"

"Izuku Midoriya - Quirk: One For All"

That's too easily misunderstood!

Who are you?

I'm Izuku Midoriya from U.A.!

What?

I'm Izuku Midoriya!

Who are you?

C-Crap...

He's All Might's teacher.

I knew he would be pretty old, but this is...

I wanna eat something.

Eat?!

Toshinori!

No, that's not me!

Excuse me, I'm going to make a phone call...

Anyway, I should let All Might know about the state this guy's in...

What're you doing?!

Fire off a One For All at me.

I wanna know how well you can handle it.

What's with this guy? Suddenly...

This is a good costume. Wear it and fire!

Um...

Who are you?

I-It's no good!

I need to hurry

and quickly become able to handle my power.

Because All Might doesn't have any time left.

That's why...

I can't waste time messing around with you, sir.

Please excuse me.

In that case...

In that case, there's even more reason to fire one off!

You zygote!

"Bizarre! Gran Torino Appears"

I watched the U.A. sports festival on TV.

The way you used that power was unthinkable!

He's called the symbol of peace and the number one hero,

but that justice-obsessed All Might is worse than a novice when it comes to teaching.

Now, shall we begin, you zygotes?

He's using the same phrase.

The way they play dumb is the same, too.

This person must be All Might's teacher, after all!

I can't stand watching how you're using your power,

so I'll teach you.

Now, put on your costume!

I look forward to working with you!

"Hero Costume β for Mr. Izuku Midoriya" "Specifications & User Manual"

The user manual.

Dear Mr. Izuku Midoriya,

when making repairs to your costume,

our company decided to make some changes to the materials and design.

Thank you for understanding.

I mean, it'll definitely be a lot cooler like this!

They changed the materials and design without asking...

I wonder if everyone in the support business is like Hatsume...

Either way, it's my first battle with version β of my mom's suit!

My preparations are complete.

Then, do it.

I-Is this really okay?

Honestly, I don't know how well I can use this suit yet,

and if there isn't more space, if I fire at 100% by accident,

your body wouldn't be able to take it, sir...

Good grief, you're such a chatterbox...

I'm losing patience!

We're having real combat?

You couldn't see my true strength with that hit earlier?

I can't believe the ninth holder of One For All is such a wet blanket...

All Might is a real novice.

He's too fast!

What's his Quirk?

No, that's not it.

Under these circumstances where there's no place to hide and no openings,

rather than carefully figuring out where he is,

I should keep him from moving.

Imagine the egg not breaking inside the microwave!

He's passed behind me twice!

Then--

Analysis and prediction, huh?

Smash...!

But,

you're stiff!

And there's discord within your mind!

That's why it turned out like this.

I thought I had you for sure!

That's it.

The way you used One For All in the cavalry battle and the tournament...

You should already understand it.

But your admiration for All Might and your sense of duty are like shackles.

"Shackles"...?

It's true that you need to get stronger, fast.

But time and enemies won't wait until you get stronger.

You're thinking One For All is more special than it is.

Then, what should I do?

Think about the answer yourself.

I'll go buy some grub.

I'll leave the cleaning to you.

Huh?!

My admiration for All Might... is a shackle?

"Same Time - Hosu City"

Normally, we're mostly just waiting for calls from clients,

but recently, you know, Hosu's been kind of hectic.

"Pro Hero - Manual" "Tenya Iida - Quirk: Engine"

Street patrols become a way to suppress crime.

That's right.

But man, I can't believe Ingenium's little brother is interning at my agency.

I'm sure you had offers from heroes more capable than me.

Hero Killer... So elusive, he can't even be caught by the net of modern society.

I know this might be in vain.

Even so...

Even so, I cannot not go after him.

I... cannot forgive him!

I see.

"Villain - Tomura Shigaraki - Quirk: Decay" "Villain - Kurogiri - Quirk: Warp Gate"

You were the ones who attacked U.A.

And you want to add me to your numbers.

"Villain - Stain"

Yeah. Come on, you've got so much more experience as a villain, sir.

What are you after?

For now, I just want to kill All Might.

I want to break everything I don't like.

Damn kids like this, too... Everything...

I was foolish to be interested.

You're the type of person I hate the most.

Huh?

You want me to go along with your childish tantrum?

What meaning is there in killing without conviction?

Hero Killer: Stain...

The man brought in to spur

Tomura Shigaraki's growth, since he cares only about destruction...

However, this is...

Master, is it all right to let this continue?

This is fine!

There's no point if we just tell him the answer.

He should think about where he still needs to mature.

Spur on his growth!

That is what it means to educate.

My admiration for All Might is a shackle.

Even though I understand how to use it, there's discord in my mind...

I'm thinking One For All is more special than it is.

Is that what's making my movements stiff?

What does "stiff" mean in the first place?

Thinking about it another way, what makes movement flexible?

Flexible...

I know!

"Hero Analysis for the Future"

I've been thinking about One For All and the smash as a special move.

I saw it used up close--why didn't I notice?

That's right. Quirks are part of your body.

I need to think of One For All more, more evenly!

That's it! I see!

His thinking is flexible.

I knew that from the way he moved at the sports festival.

You found someone pretty good, huh, Toshinori?

All Might...

"Izuku Midoriya" "Quirk: One For All" "Smashes villains with a super power passed down from one generation to the next."

"Affiliation: U.A. High School Hero Class 1-A" "Birthday: 7/15" "Height: 166 cm" "Blood Type: O" "Likes: Pork Cutlet Bowls"

"Gran Torino" "Quirk: Jet" "He can move freely in the air with jet propulsion using the air that comes out of the soles of his feet."

"Affiliation: Pro Hero" "Birthday: 1/28" "Height: 120 cm" "Blood Type: B" "Likes: Taiyaki"

"In the center of Tokyo"

Frankly, I don't like you.

Huh?

You only chose my agency because

"No. 4 Hero – Best Jeanist"

I'm one of the top five most popular heroes, right?

"Katsuki Bakugo - Quirk: Explosion"

You're the one that put in an offer!

Yeah.

Recently, I've only been getting good little kids,

so you were the first one in a while to strike a chord.

I watched you at the sports festival.

You were able to freely manipulate a Quirk with high potential,

and had a good grasp of application as well.

You're an outstanding talent already good enough to recruit as a sidekick.

However, you have a fatal flaw.

You believe yourself to be the strongest,

and you try to put that into practice not caring about how that looks--

You have a ferocious nature.

Did you choose me to give me a lecture--

It is part of my work as a hero to correct people like you.

Heroes and villains are two sides of the same coin.

I'll show those glaring eyes of yours

what makes someone a hero.

What're you trying to do?

Isn't it obvious?

I'm educating you to become an exemplary hero.

The way you speak, your appearance, controlling your emotions, enforcing your morals...
