My Hero Academia (僕のヒーローアカデミア)

The world has become a superhuman society,

and about 80% of the world's population now has some kind of special trait.

In this world swirling with chaos,

the profession that everyone once dreamed about and admired

came into the limelight.

Heroes of justice fighting villains and saving people from distress.

Yes, this is the story of how I became the greatest hero.

The feelings of the three...

...who trust in me...

I'm carrying all that right now!

I took the one on his head where his guard was the weakest.

Midoriya, this was thanks to the opening you created with your last spurt.

In fourth place, Team Midoriya!

They will advance...

...to the final round!

"The Boy Born with Everything"

Now, we'll break for lunch before we start the afternoon festivities!

See ya!

"I'm hungry."

I'm hungry!

Food!

Let's hurry up and go eat.

"Faculty and Student Entrance"

So... What did you want to talk about?

If we don't hurry, the cafeteria will probably be really crowded...

Um...

He gives off a cold intimidation, different from Kacchan...

I was overpowered.

So much so that I broke my pledge.

He didn't use it even if it would be to his advantage...

His left side...

Iida, Kaminari, Yaoyorozu, Tokoyami, Uraraka...

None of them felt it.

At that last instant,

I was the only one who was overpowered.

Only me, who had experienced All Might's full power up close.

What... does... that mean...?

It means I felt something similar coming from you.

Midoriya, are you...

...All Might's secret love child or something?

Secret... love child...?!

All Might has his eye on you, doesn't he?

I-I see... So that's what he was thinking!

Well? Are you?

Th-That's not it!

I mean, even if I was, I would say I wasn't, so I don't think you'd believe me,

but anyway, that's not how it is...

In the first place, let me ask you something...

Why do you think that about me...?

Since you said, "that's not how it is,"

that means there's a connection between

you two that you can't talk about, right?

Endeavor's my old man.

I'm sure you know that he's been stuck as the number two hero for forever.

If you have something from the number one hero, then I...

...have even more reason to beat you.

Hey!

Long time no see!

Let's have tea, Endeavor!

All Might...

I haven't seen you since that talk we had with the press ten years ago, huh?

I saw you, so I thought I'd say hi.

I see. Well, you've already done that. Leave me.

Tea? What a joke. I'm going to the restroom. Begone!

Don't be so cold!

Your son, Young Shoto, did wonderfully without even using half of his power.

Is it because he was taught well?

What are you trying to say?

Why, I seriously want to know

how to raise the next generation.

Do you think I'd tell you?

You look clueless as usual, and it's getting on my nerves.

Sorry...

Just remember this--

I will make that into a hero that will surpass you one day.

That was why I created him.

What are you...?

He's in his rebellious stage right now,

but he will definitely surpass you.

I will make sure of it!

My old man has a strong desire to rise in the world.

As a hero, he won a name for himself with crushing force.

Because of that, the living legend, All Might, is a great eyesore to him.

Since he couldn't surpass All Might, he moved onto his next plan.

What are you talking about, Todoroki...?

What are you trying to tell me?

You've heard of Quirk marriages, right?

That thing that became a problem

for the second and third generation after superpowers appeared.

Choosing a spouse based only on

strengthening your own Quirk and passing it onto your children,

forcing people into marriage.

The old-fashioned way of thinking brought about by a lack of ethics.

He is a man with both accomplishments and money.

He won over my mother's relatives and got a hold of my mother's Quirk.

He is trying to fulfill his own desire by raising me to be

a hero to surpass All Might.

It's so annoying...

I won't become the tool of scum like that.

In my memories, my mother is always crying.

"Your left side is unsightly,"

my mother said as she poured boiling water on me.

Basically, I picked a fight with you to show him what I can do,

without using my damn old man's Quirk...

No...

I'll reject him completely by winning first place without using it.

The world he talked about was so different that honestly, I was scared.

I thought about how it could be so different for us

even if we were aiming for the same thing.

I don't care if you can't tell me how you're connected to All Might.

No matter what you are to All Might,

I will rise above you with just my right side.

Sorry for wasting your time.

If this were a comic, he'd be the main character.

That was the kind of backstory he had.

Compared to that, what I could say...?

I...!

I have always been supported by others.

That was the case earlier, too.

I am here because of the people who have supported me.

It's all right now, young man.

I am here!

Is it possible for me to give him some of my points?

I'll support you openly with everything I've got from now on!

You can't be a hero with just one trick.

I guess it's like we've cleared the first hurdle.

Move! You're in the way, Deku!

Team up with me, person in first place!

I took the one on his head where his guard was the weakest.

You can become a hero.

Saving people with a fearless smile, the greatest hero--

All Might.

I want to be like him.

In order to do that, I have to be strong enough to become number one.

My motivation might seem trivial compared to yours,

but I can't lose, either.

I have to live up to the hopes of those who supported me.

That declaration of war you gave earlier--

I'll return that.

I will beat you, too!

Now that lunch is over, it's finally time to reveal the last game!

But before that,

there's good news for all of you who didn't make it to the finals!

This is just a sports festival!

So we've prepared recreational games that everyone can participate in, too!

Oh! Yes! Oh! Yes! Oh!

We've even brought real cheerleaders from America to liven things up!

Huh?

What are they doing?

What's the matter, Class A? What kind of fan service is that?

Mineta! Kaminari! You tricked us, didn't you?!

"U.A. Sports Festival - Lunchtime"

Yaoyorozu, Jiro.

Hm? Did you need something?

Well, I'm sure you already know since you're a class rep and all,

but they said everyone has to wear those clothes to do a cheer battle in the afternoon.

I didn't hear anything about an event like that, though...

You don't have to believe me, but we heard from Mr. Aizawa.

I thought maybe you'd forgotten, so I'd tell you just in case.

Why am I always caught up in Mineta's schemes?

I even used Creation to make the outfits...

Those guys are so dumb!

Well, there's still time before the finals,

and it'd be a pain if things got tense.

It's fine! Let's do it!

What?!

Toru, you like this, huh?

All right, everyone! Let's have fun competing in the recreational games!

When that's over, the sixteen from the four teams that made it to the final round

will duke it out tournament style, one-on-one!

The last round is a tournament where we fight one-on-one, huh?

I'm gonna stand on the stage that I watch every year on TV!

Was it a tournament last year?

It's different every year, but there's a one-on-one competition every year.

Last year, it was a sports chanbara match.

Now, let's draw lots to determine the bracket.

Once the bracket is determined, we'll have the recreational games and then start!

The sixteen finalists can choose whether

or not they want to participate in the recreation.

I'm sure some of you want to rest or save your strength.

Now, from the first place team--

Um...! Excuse me.
