1. The number one hero, All Might.Copy !req
2. Age unknown, Quirk unidentified.Copy !req
3. He dashed onto the scene
of the hero worldCopy !req
4. and received unwavering
popularity based on his ability.Copy !req
5. Ever since he appeared,Copy !req
6. the once critically high rate of crimes
committed by villainsCopy !req
7. decreased year after year,Copy !req
8. and his existence itself
became a deterrent.Copy !req
9. He became the Symbol of Peace
in both name and reality.Copy !req
10. And that man said to me…Copy !req
11. You can become a hero.Copy !req
12. - Huh? Midoriya? No way!
- You're Quirkless!Copy !req
13. How can you even stand
in the same ring as me?Copy !req
14. - You should probably give it up.
- I'm sorry, Izuku!Copy !req
15. I wanted someone to tell me that.Copy !req
16. And then, the person I most admired
said those words to me.Copy !req
17. Can anything
be more shocking than this?Copy !req
18. More than this?Copy !req
19. You are worthy to inherit my power.Copy !req
20. Inherit your power?Copy !req
21. What's with that face?Copy !req
22. It's just a suggestion.
The real show starts after this.Copy !req
23. Listen, young man. You need to decideCopy !req
24. whether or not
you will accept my power!Copy !req
25. What is All Might saying?Copy !req
26. I'm talking about my power,
young man.Copy !req
27. The tabloids called it
"superhuman strength" and a "boost,"Copy !req
28. and I constantly dodged the question
during interviews with a funny joke.Copy !req
29. Because the Symbol of Peace,
All Might, had to be a natural-born hero.Copy !req
30. But young man, I will tell you the truth.Copy !req
31. My Quirk was passed on
to me like a sacred torch.Copy !req
32. It was passed on to you?Copy !req
33. That's right.
And next, it is your turn.Copy !req
34. Wait! Wait a minute!Copy !req
35. It's true that your Quirk
is something hotly debatedCopy !req
36. as one of the world's greatest mysteries.Copy !req
37. So much so that not a day goes byCopy !req
38. when I don't see someone
talking about it online.Copy !req
39. But, well, I don't really understandCopy !req
40. what you mean
by inheriting or passing on a Quirk…Copy !req
41. I've never heard
of anything like that before,Copy !req
42. and it's never even been
conjectured in the debate.Copy !req
43. Why is that? Is it because
since the dawn of history,Copy !req
44. a Quirk like that was never confirmed?Copy !req
45. In the first place, it's…Copy !req
46. You always start with denial, huh?Copy !req
47. Nonsense!Copy !req
48. I may hide a lot of things,
but I don't lie!Copy !req
49. The power to transfer power…Copy !req
50. That is the Quirk I inherited!Copy !req
51. I was crowned with "One For All"!Copy !req
52. "One For All"…Copy !req
53. That's right.Copy !req
54. One person cultivates the powerCopy !req
55. and passes it on to another person,Copy !req
56. who also cultivates it
and passes it on.Copy !req
57. It is the crystallization of powerCopy !req
58. that spins together
the voices of those who need helpCopy !req
59. with a courageous heart.Copy !req
60. Why are you giving me
something so great?Copy !req
61. I have been looking for a successor.Copy !req
62. And then, I thought it would be
all right for you to inherit it.Copy !req
63. You are just a Quirkless hero fanboy,Copy !req
64. but you were more heroic
than anyone else back there!Copy !req
65. Never mind!
Well, it's up to you, though.Copy !req
66. What'll you do?Copy !req
67. He said so much to encourage me,
and even told me his secret…Copy !req
68. Is there… Of course there isn't…Copy !req
69. There's no reason
for me to turn him down!Copy !req
70. I'll do it!Copy !req
71. An immediate reply.
That's what I thought you'd say!Copy !req
72. But it was no easy task
to receive his power.Copy !req
73. Hey! This is such a comfy fridge
to sit on!Copy !req
74. If you could move it even a little,
it would be a little easier.Copy !req
75. Well yeah, I mean,
you weigh 274 kilograms, right?Copy !req
76. No, I lost weight,
so I'm only 255 kilograms now,Copy !req
77. in this form.Copy !req
78. Anyway, why am I dragging trash
at the beach park?Copy !req
79. It's 'cause, you know,
you're not a proper vessel.Copy !req
80. What you're saying now is the opposite
of what you said before!Copy !req
81. I'm talking about your body.Copy !req
82. My Quirk, One For All,Copy !req
83. is the fullest physical ability
of many people gathered into one.Copy !req
84. An unprepared body
cannot inherit it fully.Copy !req
85. The limbs will come off
and the body will explode.Copy !req
86. The limbs will what?Copy !req
87. Then… I'm picking up trash
in order to train my body?Copy !req
88. Yes!Copy !req
89. But that's not all.Copy !req
90. After some research
on the internet yesterday,Copy !req
91. I discovered
that part of this beach park's coastCopy !req
92. has been like this for many years.Copy !req
93. Yeah…Copy !req
94. For some reason, because of the currents,
objects drift here a lot,Copy !req
95. and people take advantage of that
to hide their illegal dumping.Copy !req
96. The local residents
don't come near here, either.Copy !req
97. Heroes these days
are all after the showy stuff.Copy !req
98. Originally, being a hero
meant doing volunteer service.Copy !req
99. Even if people
called that boring or whatever.Copy !req
100. You can't waver from those roots.Copy !req
101. You will restore the horizon
for this whole section!Copy !req
102. That is your first step
toward becoming a hero!Copy !req
103. My first step?Copy !req
104. Clean… this…Copy !req
105. All of it?Copy !req
106. Young Midoriya,
you want to go to U.A., right?Copy !req
107. Yes!Copy !req
108. Because it's where you went!Copy !req
109. So if I'm going to go, I thought
it would definitely have to be U.A.Copy !req
110. You're a go-getter fanboy!Copy !req
111. But I've told you this before.Copy !req
112. It's not something
you can do without a Quirk.Copy !req
113. It's sad,
but that is what the reality is.Copy !req
114. And U.A.'s is the hardest
hero course to get into.Copy !req
115. In other words…Copy !req
116. In the ten months
until U.A.'s entrance exam,Copy !req
117. I have to complete my vessel!Copy !req
118. That's where this comes in!Copy !req
119. I came up with this:
"Aim to Pass: American Dream Plan"!Copy !req
120. It's a training plan to help
you finish cleaning up the beach.Copy !req
121. I'll have you follow this
in every aspect of your life!Copy !req
122. Even sleep time is included…Copy !req
123. Frankly, this is a super hard schedule.
Can you follow it?Copy !req
124. Of course. I have to work
many times harder than anyone else,Copy !req
125. or else I can't do it!Copy !req
126. And so began my ten months of hell.Copy !req
127. Carry that to the park entrance!Copy !req
128. Put it in the truck!Copy !req
129. Depending on size and shape, the muscles
I have to use are completely different!Copy !req
130. I see. This is…Copy !req
131. Run! Ten months will be over
before you know it!Copy !req
132. Let's become athletic!Copy !req
133. Let's see…
With the appearance of superpowers,Copy !req
134. the Building Standards Act
was revised…Copy !req
135. This is tough…Copy !req
136. Ten months of this, huh?Copy !req
137. It'll be hard if I don't finish
by a week before the exam.Copy !req
138. Which means, there are 294 days left.Copy !req
139. Taking into consideration
a sufficient recovery periodCopy !req
140. if I rest for two days in between,
that gives me…Copy !req
141. …about 98 days of real training
even if I'm efficient.Copy !req
142. I can get in about five hours
of training morning and night,Copy !req
143. so that's 490 hours.Copy !req
144. Also, that beach cleanup doesn't work out
any specific parts of the body.Copy !req
145. If I don't work out my whole body equally,
then there's no way I'll make it.Copy !req
146. Bodybuilding to create a body
able to adapt to any situation…Copy !req
147. Literally intensive training
to become a hero…Copy !req
148. All Might can't stay
and watch me the whole time.Copy !req
149. If I don't do as much efficient
independent training as I can,Copy !req
150. there's no way I can catch up
the way I am now…Copy !req
151. - Midoriya, hey!
- Anyway, I'll have to cut…Copy !req
152. Did your encounter with the villain
make you go crazy?Copy !req
153. It's presumptuous to think
of getting into U.A. like that.Copy !req
154. Plus, I have to study
for the entrance exam.Copy !req
155. A nervous breakdown already?Copy !req
156. That's scary.Copy !req
157. Hey, what's wrong?Copy !req
158. There are only three months left!Copy !req
159. You won't make it!Copy !req
160. Wanna give up?
Wanna take it easy and rest today?Copy !req
161. Overwork?Copy !req
162. The "Aim to Pass: American Dream Plan"
was adjusted with your body in mindCopy !req
163. to make sure you'd make it
in time for the entrance exam.Copy !req
164. You haven't been
sticking to the plan, have you?Copy !req
165. Overdoing it
will have the opposite effect!Copy !req
166. Don't you want to get in?Copy !req
167. I do…Copy !req
168. But I can't just get in…Copy !req
169. I have to work
a lot more than other peopleCopy !req
170. or I won't be able to catch up.Copy !req
171. I want to be like you.Copy !req
172. I want to become
the greatest hero, like you!Copy !req
173. Saving people with a fearless smile.Copy !req
174. Like you!Copy !req
175. He's looking far into the future, huh?Copy !req
176. You go-getter fanboy!Copy !req
177. I like that!Copy !req
178. But if that's the case,
then you really can't rush things now.Copy !req
179. But I understand your feelings.Copy !req
180. Leave it to this old guy
to adjust your plan!Copy !req
181. You're not old… All Might…Copy !req
182. FEBRUARY 26Copy !req
183. And then, it was 6 a.m.
on the day of the entrance exam.Copy !req
184. Hey, hey…Copy !req
185. He even cleaned outside
of where I told him to! Seriously?Copy !req
186. There's not even a speck of dust left!
Seriously?Copy !req
187. He finished at the last minute!
More than perfectly!Copy !req
188. Oh my…Copy !req
189. goodness!Copy !req
190. Good work.Copy !req
191. All Might… I did it.Copy !req
192. I did it!Copy !req
193. Yeah, you surprised me,
you entertainer!Copy !req
194. Teenagers are amazing!Copy !req
195. Here, take a look.Copy !req
196. - This is…
- It's you, ten months ago.Copy !req
197. You did good. You really did!Copy !req
198. The mirage of
it is finally just barely visible,Copy !req
199. but you have certainly become
a suitable vessel!Copy !req
200. I feel like I'm cheating…Copy !req
201. You did all this for me…Copy !req
202. I'm too blessed…Copy !req
203. What're you saying after all this time…
It was your own hard work.Copy !req
204. We'll have to fix
those leaky eyes of yours.Copy !req
205. Now, it's time for the award ceremony,
Izuku Midoriya!Copy !req
206. Yes, sir!Copy !req
207. This is something I was once told:Copy !req
208. "Something that you
receive because you're luckyCopy !req
209. "and something that you are given
because you are recognizedCopy !req
210. "are different in essence."Copy !req
211. Take that to heart.Copy !req
212. This is power that you earned
because of your own effort.Copy !req
213. I took the reality that would be
surprising even in comicsCopy !req
214. in my hand…Copy !req
215. Eat this.Copy !req
216. Huh?Copy !req
217. It doesn't really matter what it is
as long as you take in my DNA.Copy !req
218. It's too different from what I imagined!Copy !req
219. Now, there's no time!Copy !req
220. You'll be late for the exam!Copy !req
221. Come!Copy !req
222. 8:40 A.M. - THE SAME DAYCopy !req
223. U.A. HIGH SCHOOLCopy !req
224. I made it.Copy !req
225. In the end,Copy !req
226. I didn't have time to test out
the power I received from All Might.Copy !req
227. Eat this.Copy !req
228. I swallowed the hair,
but did I really receive his power?Copy !req
229. Outta my way, Deku!Copy !req
230. Kacchan!Copy !req
231. Don't stand in front of me. I'll kill you.Copy !req
232. Morning. Let's both do our best…Copy !req
233. Hey, isn't that Bakugo?
The one with the sludge villain?Copy !req
234. Oh, he's the real thing!Copy !req
235. Ever since that day,
Kacchan didn't do anything to me.Copy !req
236. I was just scared of him out of habit!Copy !req
237. I'm different from before!Copy !req
238. Remember these past ten months!Copy !req
239. Take the first step…Copy !req
240. to being a hero!Copy !req
241. This is it!Copy !req
242. Are you all right?Copy !req
243. It's my Quirk. Sorry for using it
without asking first.Copy !req
244. But it'd be bad luck if you fell, right?Copy !req
245. Aren't you nervous?Copy !req
246. Uh…Copy !req
247. Let's do our best. See ya!Copy !req
248. I talked to a girl!Copy !req
249. DIDN'T ACTUALLY TALKCopy !req
250. U.A. HIGH SCHOOL HERO COURSECopy !req
251. For all you examinee listeners tuning in,Copy !req
252. welcome to my show today!Copy !req
253. Everybody say "hey"!Copy !req
254. SILENCE!Copy !req
255. What a refined response.Copy !req
256. Then I'll quickly present to you
the rundown on the practical exam!Copy !req
257. Are you ready?Copy !req
258. Yeah!Copy !req
259. SILENCE!Copy !req
260. It's the Voice Hero,
Present Mic! Wow!Copy !req
261. I listen to him every week on the radio.
I'm so moved!Copy !req
262. - All the teachers at U.A. are pro heroes!
- Shut up.Copy !req
263. As it says
in the application requirements,Copy !req
264. you listeners will be conducting
ten-minute mock urban battles after this!Copy !req
265. You can bring whatever you want with you.Copy !req
266. After the presentation, you'll head
to the specified battle center, okay?Copy !req
267. SILENCE!Copy !req
268. Okay?Copy !req
269. In other words, they won't let you
work with your friends, huh?Copy !req
270. EXAMINEE NUMBER: 2234Copy !req
271. You're right. Even though
our examinee numbers are consecutive,Copy !req
272. we're assigned
to different battle centers.Copy !req
273. Don't look. I'll kill you.Copy !req
274. Damn, now I can't crush you.Copy !req
275. Three different types of faux villains
are stationed in each battle center.Copy !req
276. You earn points for each of them
based on their level of difficulty.Copy !req
277. Your goal, dear listeners,
is to use your QuirksCopy !req
278. to earn points by immobilizing
the faux villains.Copy !req
279. Of course, attacking other examineesCopy !req
280. and any other unheroic actions
are prohibited!Copy !req
281. May I ask a question?Copy !req
282. Okay!Copy !req
283. On the printout,
there are four types of villains.Copy !req
284. If that is a misprint, then U.A.,
the most prominent school in Japan,Copy !req
285. should be ashamed
of that foolish mistake.Copy !req
286. We examinees are here in this placeCopy !req
287. because we wish to be molded
into exemplary heroes.Copy !req
288. In addition, you over there
with the curly hair,Copy !req
289. You've been muttering
this whole time.Copy !req
290. It's distracting!Copy !req
291. If you're here on a pleasure trip,
then you should leave immediately!Copy !req
292. I'm sorry…Copy !req
293. Okay, examinee number 7111.Copy !req
294. Thanks for the great message.Copy !req
295. The fourth type of villain
is worth zero points.Copy !req
296. That guy's an obstacle, so to speak.Copy !req
297. There's one in every battle center.Copy !req
298. An obstacle that will go crazy
in narrow spaces.Copy !req
299. It's not impossible to defeat, but
there's no reason to defeat it, either.Copy !req
300. I recommend
that you listeners try to avoid it.Copy !req
301. Thank you very much!Copy !req
302. Please excuse the interruption!Copy !req
303. I see… It's like the obstacles
you avoid in videos games, huh?Copy !req
304. The whole thing is like a video game.Copy !req
305. That's all from me!Copy !req
306. Finally, I'll give you listeners
a present: our school motto!Copy !req
307. The hero Napoleon Bonaparte once said:Copy !req
308. "A true hero is someone
who overcomes life's misfortunes."Copy !req
309. Go beyond.Copy !req
310. Plus Ultra!Copy !req
311. Now, everyone, good luck suffering!Copy !req
312. U.A. HIGH SCHOOL HERO COURSECopy !req
313. It's time to do it.Copy !req
314. It's time to give everything I gotCopy !req
315. from my training with All Might
these past ten months.Copy !req
316. I will becomeCopy !req
317. the hero I always dreamed of being!Copy !req
318. The entrance exam of U.A. High School,Copy !req
319. the famous school that turned out
many pro heroes, is starting.Copy !req
320. Leaving aside
the written exam for now,Copy !req
321. will I be able to get through
the practical examCopy !req
322. with the power I only just received
from All Might?Copy !req
323. Let's do our best
on the entrance exam!Copy !req
324. Huh? Who're you?Copy !req
325. More importantly, I talked to a girl!Copy !req
326. Next time, "Start Line"!Copy !req
327. I, Ochaco, will have shiny stuff
come out of my mouth!Copy !req
328. Go beyond!Copy !req
329. Plus Ultra!Copy !req
