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.

Midoriya.

I'm going to beat you.

The students from the other courses are aiming for the top with everything they've got!

I can't afford to fall behind.

I'll be going for it with everything I have, too.

"In Their Own Quirky Ways"

The U.A. sports festival first-year stage qualifier!

The first game is an obstacle course race!

It's a cruel chicken race where anything goes as long as you stay on course!

Hey.

-We'll bring you the exciting scenes

-with camera robots set around the course! --You don't need me, do you?

Now then--

Can the golden eggs aiming to be future heroes get through the mass of Robo Infernos?!

If they went through all this trouble, I wish they would've prepared something better.

Since my stupid old man is watching.

He stopped them!

Between their legs! We can get through!

I wouldn't if I were you.

I froze them when they were unbalanced.

They'll fall over.

The first one through the first barrier is Shoto Todoroki from Class 1-A!

Hey! Someone's trapped underneath!

Wouldn't that kill them?

Will people die at this sports festival?!

Like I'd die!

Kirishima from Class 1-A was underneath! That's crazy!

That bastard, Todoroki!

He timed it on purpose so it'd be right when they fell.

If it hadn't been me, someone would've died!

"Eijiro Kirishima" "Quirk: Hardening"

Eijiro Kirishima! Quirk: Hardening!

His body can get super hard!

He can become the strongest spear, or the strongest shield!

That Class A...

...really is filled with bastards!

Tetsutetsu from Class B was also underneath!

That's crazy!

If it hadn't been me, someone would've died!

"Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu" "Quirk: Steel"

Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu. Quirk: Steel!

His body can become like steel!

He can become the strongest spear, or the strongest shield!

Our Quirks are pretty much the same?!

I have a hard enough time standing out as it is!

Wait, you little--!

Those guys are lucky...

They can get through without being afraid of getting crushed.

Anyway, let's work together for now to clear a path!

Bakugo?!

Like I'd let you get ahead of me!

Class 1-A's Bakugo!

Since the bottom's blocked, he goes overhead!

Clever!

You seem like you'd be the type to plow straight through,

but you can go around when you need to, huh?

I'm going to hitch a ride!

"Hanta Sero" "Quirk: Tape"

Hanta Sero. Quirk: Tape!

He can shoot tape-like material from his elbows!

He can also wind it up and use it to move!

Or cut it off and use it as a trap!

Land!

Aye, aye!

"Fumikage Tokoyami" "Quirk: Dark Shadow"

Fumikage Tokoyami. Quirk: Dark Shadow!

He's got a shadow-like monster living inside him

that can materialize and change shape elastically!

As expected, most of the group that's gone ahead is from Class A.

Class B and the other courses aren't bad, either!

It's just...

...Class A doesn't spend a lot of time standing around.

Those who experienced firsthand

that world above them through the incident at USJ...

Release!

Those who had fear planted in their hearts...

Those who dealt with it and pulled through...

They all used that experience to drown out their hesitation.

I can't rely on One For All this early in the competition!

It's the armor of the one Todoroki defeated!

That robot will lock onto the target and track it.

I'll make it build up momentum...

And then--

It won't be able to stop suddenly!

Move! Move!

This can be a shield, too! It'll be useful!

Yaoyorozu!

A piece of cake.

The path is clear!

She defeated those zero-point villains so easily?

No wonder she got in through recommendations.

During the entrance exam, they were there to be avoided.

If you see them as things to be defeated, they're dumb hunks of metal.

You'll start to see openings.

I want you to tell the world "I am here!"

I told him that even though I knew it'd be unreasonable.

It doesn't matter if it's close!

Just get to the next round!

Hey, hey! The first barrier's a piece of cake?

Then what about the second?

If you fall, you're out!

If you don't wanna fall, then crawl!

It's "The Fall"!

When did they build this stage?

Tsu?

Ribbit!

Ribbit.

This is like a glorified tight rope.

She's fast!

Glitter.

Here it is! Here's my chance to show off!

It's time for my support items to be in the limelight!

"heh heh heh heh heh "

Look, all you support companies across the country!

Wire arrows and... hover soles! Glitter!

You're from the support course?

What? It's okay to bring in items?

The hero course undergoes combat training regularly, right?

In order to keep things fair,

we are allow to equip items and costumes,

as long as we developed them ourselves!

Or perhaps I should say...

...for those of us in the support course,

this is the place where we can show off our ideas and skills to companies!

Come, take a look, all you companies! Especially the big ones!

Look at my super cute babies!

Wow.

That's so annoying...

I can't lose!

That's some misplaced equality!

Nice...

A lot of different people are working hard for their chance, huh, Eraser Head?

What are you idiots stopping for?

And now, the leader of the pack is easily getting through first!

Looks like he's getting fired up. A slow starter?

Damn it!

My older brother is probably also watching.

I can't let him see me act uncool!

That's so uncool!

That guy in first place is way ahead!

His Quirk is really strong,

but his natural athletic ability and judgment are also a cut above everyone else's.

Of course it is. That's the Flame Hero, Endeavor's son.

No wonder! The blood of the guy second only to All Might, huh?

There'll be fighting over who gets him as a sidekick!

The lead pack is a step ahead, but below them, everyone's clumped together!

They haven't announced how many people will make it through,

so you can't relax! Push forward!

Izuku...

And now, we've quickly arrived at the final barrier!

The reality here is...

...that it's a minefield!

It's set up so that you can tell where the mines are if you look carefully!

So you have to exploit your eyes and legs!

By the way, these landmines are for games, so they're not that powerful,

but they're loud and flashy enough to make you wet your pants!

That depends on the person.

First place is already there?

Faster... Faster...!

I see. This is an obstacle that puts those in the lead at a disadvantage.

Trying to make it entertaining, huh?

This doesn't affect me!

Bastard, don't declare war to the wrong person!

And now, we've got someone new in the lead!

Rejoice, mass media! It's the kind of development you guys love!

Hey, hey, hey, the rest of the pack is also speeding up!

However!

Even as they push and pull at each other, can the two at the top remain in the lead?

It... It's far...!

But there's still stuff I have to do!

"Boom~"

I'm gonna borrow your idea, Kacchan!
