My Hero Academia: Season 2, Episode 21

1. "Live till after noon!"

2. Today's topic is: "Is sexiness necessary for hero work?"

3. And so we have these two in the studio today—

4. "Pro Hero - Mt. Lady - Gigantification"

5. A rookie hero who debuted just this year Mt. Lady and—

6. Midnight who is currently teaching at U.A. High School!

7. "Pro Hero - Midnight"

8. Thank you both for coming today.

9. Please have a seat.

10. Now Midnight

11. "At debut"

12. when you first debuted your costume was so extreme that it created a stir

13. eventually leading to the "Regulations for Exposed Skin in Costumes" bill

14. being submitted to the National Diet.

15. You're known as a veteran hero who changed the country.

16. It's still pretty bad right now though.

17. Now I'm going for the "ultra-thin" style.

18. Many say that because of the nature of their Quirks clothes obstruct their abilities.

19. It's not a matter of whether or not sexiness is necessary

20. but rather that the result of necessity became seen as sexy.

21. It's just what you like right?

22. What's with you?

23. Trying to pick a fight?

24. Of course not! It's just how do I put it—I think you're amazing!

25. For your age.

26. Are you trying to show that your only redeeming feature is your youth?

27. Even though you're not that young?

28. I'm saying that if the older generation tries too hard

29. then it's hopeless for us younger folks!

30. —You little...! —Hey watch your hands!

31. You too! Oh!

32. "Minoru Mineta - Pop Off"

33. —Stop pulling! It'll rip! —It's ripped!

34. What an incredible episode!

35. "Gear up for Final Exams"

36. Okay that's it for class.

37. "Pro Hero - Eraser Head - Erasure"

38. There's only one week left until the final exams.

39. You all are studying properly right?

40. I'm sure you already know

41. "Izuku Midoriya - One For All" "Katsuki Bakugo - Explosion"

42. but it won't just be a written exam. There's also a practical component.

43. "Tenya Iida - Engine" "Ochaco Uraraka - Zero Gravity"

44. Make sure you train your minds and bodies at the same time.

45. That's all.

46. " 19th/20" " 20th/20"

47. I haven't studied at all!

48. "Mina Ashido - Acid" "Denki Kaminari - Electrification"

49. With the sports festival and internship I didn't study at all!

50. "Fumikage Tokoyami - Dark Shadow"

51. It's true that we had one event after another but...

52. " 14th/20"

53. "Rikido Sato"Koji Koda"

54. " 12th/20" " 11th/20"

55. For the midterms we'd just started school so they didn't cover much

56. so I didn't really have a hard time with them

57. but with the back-to-back events and stuff the finals will be different...

58. It'll be tough since there's a practical exam too.

59. " 9th/20"

60. N-Ninth on the midterms?

61. And here I thought you were one of us!

62. Guys like you are only likable if they're foolish...!

63. Where's the demand for this?

64. The world I guess.

65. Ashido Kaminari!

66. L-Let's do our best!

67. " 4th/20"

68. We all want to go to the training camp together right?

69. Yes! As class rep I also have high hopes that you'll all be moved to action!

70. " 2nd/20"

71. "Shoto Todoroki - Half-Cold Half-Hot"

72. " 5th/20"

73. It's pretty hard to fail if you just pay attention in class.

74. Be careful with your words!

75. "Momo Yaoyorozu - Creation"

76. " 1st/20"

77. You two I may be able to be of assistance with the class lectures.

78. Yao-momo!

79. I can't help at all with the practical though...

80. "Kyoka Jiro - Earphone Jack"

81. I'm not one of those two but can I join too?

82. " 7th/20"

83. I'm having some trouble with quadratic functions...

84. Huh?

85. "Hanta Sero - Tape"

86. Sorry me too! How are you with classical Japanese?

87. " 17th/20"

88. Huh?

89. "Mashirao Ojiro - Tail"

90. I'd like to join too.

91. " 8th/20"

92. There's a bunch of stuff I don't get...

93. Please!

94. Everyone!

95. Yes of course!

96. All right!

97. Then let us hold a study session at my residence this weekend!

98. Seriously? I can't wait to see your house!

99. "bounce bounce bounce"

100. Oh in that case I must tell Mother and have her open up the hall!

101. Hall?

102. What kind of tea are you all partial to?

103. Tea?

104. In my family we always drink Harrod's or Wedgwood

105. so if you have any preference let me know!

106. Of course you can trust me to help you study too!

107. I will definitely show you how I can help!

108. It's like she casually slapped me with the huge difference in how we were born...

109. Warm fuzzies... Warm fuzzies...

110. but her bounciness is so cute that I don't care.

111. Warm fuzzies... Warm fuzzies...

112. What was that again? Harry's? That's fine.

113. Harrod's right?

114. "Eijiro Kirishima - Hardening"

115. " 15th/20"

116. Look at the difference in virtue.

117. " 3rd/20"

118. I can do it too! Want me to beat it into you?

119. Yeah I'm counting on you!

120. "Yuga Aoyama - Naval Laser" "Mezo Shoji - Dupli-Arms"

121. " 10th/20"

122. Everyone's panicking now

123. even though it won't do any good to cram this late in the game.

124. " 18th/20"

125. Shouldn't you try cramming a little?

126. What are you talking about?

127. What is it?

128. "Lunch Rush's Eatery"

129. The practical exam huh?

130. It's kind of scary since I can't tell what'll be on it.

131. I don't think it'll be anything crazy.

132. The written exam questions will come from what we study in class

133. so I should be able to manage somehow but...

134. "Tsuyu Asui - Frog"

135. " 13th/20"

136. You can manage huh...?

137. Seriously what'll we have to do for the practical exam?

138. "Toru Hagakure - Invisibility" " 16th/20"

139. "It'll be a comprehensive test of everything from first semester."

140. " 6th/20"

141. That's all Mr. Aizawa would tell us...

142. Everything we did so far... So combat training and rescue training

143. and then basic training...

144. In addition to studying we'll have to keep in good physical conditio—

145. Oh sorry. Your head was so big that I accidentally hit it.

146. "Neito Monoma - Copy"

147. You're from Class B...

148. Um... Monoma!

149. How dare you—

150. I heard you guys met the hero killer.

151. Just like at the sports festival

152. you guys in Class A just have to have all the attention huh?

153. But that attention isn't because people have high hopes for you.

154. It's because you keep attracting trouble right?

155. Oh that's scary.

156. Someday the rest of us might also be caught up in the trouble you bring

157. and become victims as well...

158. Like getting cursed by the god of pestilence!

159. Oh that's sca—

160. Monoma that's not funny.

161. Don't you know what happened to Iida?

162. "Itsuka Kendo - Big Fist"

163. Kendo!

164. Sorry Class A. This guy's heart's just kinda you know.

165. His heart...?

166. You guys were talking earlier

167. about how you don't know what's gonna be on the practical exam for the finals right?

168. Looks like it'll be combat against robots like in the entrance exam.

169. What? Really?

170. How do you know?

171. An upperclassman friend of mine told me.

172. It's kind of cheating though.

173. No it's not cheating.

174. That's right I'm sure gathering information ahead of time is also part of the test.

175. "mutter mutter mutter"

176. I see I should've asked some upperclassmen...

177. Why didn't I realize?

178. Are you an idiot Kendou?

179. We had an information advantage!

180. This was our chance to get ahead of the detestable Class A!

181. They're not detestable!

182. She's like the big sister of Class B huh?

183. All right!

184. Oh it'll be easy if it's robots!

185. Yeah yeah!

186. You guys look like you'd have a hard time controlling your Quirks against people.

187. Yeah! But I can just let loose with robots so it'll be a cinch!

188. And it'll be a cinch for me to melt them!

189. Now you just need Yaoyorozu to help you study and you'll be set for the finals!

190. We'll definitely be able to go to training camp now!

191. You may one day have to fight against this great evil...

192. In order to prepare to face those words

193. I have to make everything count from now on.

194. It doesn't matter if they're people or robots. They're the same if you beat 'em up right?

195. What're you idiots talking about it being a cinch for?

196. —Who're you calling an idiot? —Shut up!

197. If you need to control your Quirk then control it! Idiot!

198. Hey Deku!

199. I don't know if you've figured out how to use your Quirk a little or what

200. but you seriously keep rubbing me the wrong way.

201. Oh he must be talking about how Deku was moving like Bakugo the other day.

202. Oh yeah!

203. I don't need another half-assed result like at the sports festival.

204. At the upcoming finals we'll get individual scores

205. so we'll see who's better whether you like it or not.

206. I'll beat you with an indisputable difference!

207. I'll kill you!

208. Todoroki!

209. You too!

210. It's been a while since I've seen Bakugo that intense.

211. Impatience...?

212. Or hatred?

213. Bakugo has gotten worse than I thought.

214. "Yaoyorozu"

215. Wow...

216. I knew she was rich but I didn't think she was this rich...

217. Everyone I have been waiting for you!

218. Please come in.

219. I feel so out of place it's making me nervous...

220. Me too...

221. "bounce bounce bounce"

222. What is it?

223. Oh nothing...

224. "Written Exam - Day 1"

225. "Written Exam - Day 3"

226. Pencils down everybody.

227. The last person in each row collect the answer sheets and bring them here.

228. Thanks Yao-momo!

229. I didn't leave anything blank at least!

230. And so our three days of written exams were over.

231. And then it was the day of the practical exam.

232. "Practical Exam Area - Center Plaza"

233. Now we will begin the practical exam.

234. Of course it is possible to fail this exam.

235. If you want to go to the training camp then don't make any stupid mistakes.

236. There are a lot of teachers...

237. I expect that you all have gathered information ahead of time

238. and have some idea of what you will be doing.

239. We're fighting robot warriors like at the entrance exam right?

240. Fireworks! Curry! Test of Courage!

241. Too bad!

242. For various reasons the exam will be different starting this time!

243. "Pop"

244. Principal Nezu!

245. Different?

246. From now on we want to focus on person-to-person combat and hero work

247. and stress teaching that is closer to actual fighting.

248. So...

249. We'll have you form teams of two to fight against one teacher!

250. Against... the teachers?

251. "Pro Hero - Nezu"

252. In addition the pairs and who each pair will be up against have already been decided.

253. "Pro Hero - Present Mic"

254. "Pro Hero - Thirteen"

255. These were determined at my discretion based on various factors

256. "Pro Hero - Cementoss"

257. "Pro Hero - Snipe"

258. "Pro Hero - Midnight"

259. including fighting style grades and interpersonal relationships so here they are:

260. "Pro Hero - Ectoplasm"

261. "Pro Hero - Power Loader"

262. First Todoroki and Yaoyorozu are one team

263. and they're fighting me.

264. And Midoriya and Bakugo are a team

265. and their opponent...

266. "Pro Hero - All Might - One For All"

267. I... will do it!

268. All Might?

269. Work together to beat me you two!

270. "Denki Kaminari" "Electrification" "He can discharge electricity and use it to attack or find enemies."

271. "Mina Ashido" "Acid" "She can secrete acid from her body and use it to attack or move."

272. "A few days ago"

273. With the connection between Hero Killer: Stain and the League of Villains

274. "Conference Room"

275. there is the possibility that the villains will be reinvigorated huh?

276. Of course it would be better to prevent that before it begins

277. but as a school it would be best to be completely certain.

278. If we consider how fights against villains will continue to intensify in today's society

279. then combat training against robots is not practical.

280. Originally robots were used to avoid complaints

281. about people being injured in the entrance exams.

282. We can just ignore those. Let them say what they want.

283. We can't exactly do that now can we?

284. I understand why you want to change the exam

285. but having the students fight us in teams of two...

286. Yes I think that is a bit unfair.

287. If we win too easily we won't be able to give them grades.

288. Of course we would take that into consideration and give the students a handicap.

289. Principal Nezu what do you think?

290. Of course I also agree with changing the practical exam.

291. What should we do to keep the students from being in even more danger?

292. The answer is simple.

293. We must have the students themselves become stronger.

294. That's true.

295. I have no objections.

296. Then to determine the teams—

297. First Todoroki.

298. In general he's doing well

299. but overall he has a tendency to use brute force.

300. And Yaoyorozu is an all-rounder

301. but lacks the ability to make spur-of-the-moment decisions and apply them.

302. Therefore I will erase their Quirks

303. and take advantage of their weaknesses in close combat.

304. No objections!

305. "Izuku Midoriya Hero Class Aldera Junior High"

306. "Katsuki Bakugo Hero Class Aldera Junior High"

307. Next for Midoriya and Bakugo

308. I'm leaving them to you All Might.

309. For these two I didn't pair them up based on ability or grades.

310. Just on how badly they get along.

311. You like Midoriya right?

312. Please instruct them well.

313. Aizawa you're paying attention.

314. And now we'll announce the teams and the teachers they'll be up against all at once!

315. "1st Match"

316. "2nd Match"

317. "3rd Match"

318. "4th Match"

319. "5th Match"

320. "6th Match"

321. "7th Match"

322. "8th Match"

323. "9th Match"

324. "10th Match"

325. The time limit for the exam is thirty minutes!

326. Your objective is either to put these handcuffs on the teacher

327. or to have one of you escape from the stage!

328. Capture the teacher or escape...

329. It's kind of like the combat training.

330. Is it really okay to run away?

331. Yup.

332. But it'll be different from the combat training!

333. You'll be up against someone waaaaaay better than you!

334. Better... than us?

335. I can't really imagine it though...

336. Dummy! Hey girl watch your mouth! You hear?

337. This time your exam will be very similar to a real battle.

338. Please think of us as villains.

339. Assuming you come across the enemy

340. if you think you can win a fight against them then that's fine.

341. However—

342. In cases where there's too big a difference in your abilities

343. it would be smarter to run away and get help.

344. Todoroki Iida Midoriya.

345. I'm sure you three understand this well.

346. Idiot! The hero killer is after me and that kid in white armor right?

347. Don't fight back. It'd be better if you ran away!

348. I won't make that mistake again.

349. I will pass this test and prove that!

350. Fight and win or run and win.

351. That's right! Your decision-making skills are being tested!

352. But with these rules you're probably thinking the only choice is to run right?

353. That's why we had the support course make these for us!

354. Ultra compressed weights!

355. We'll put on about half of our body weight.

356. It's to give you a handicap.

357. It's old-fashioned but it makes it hard to move and eats up stamina!

358. Oh shoot they're heavier than I thought...

359. By the way there was a competition to decide on the design

360. and we ended up using Young Hatsume's.

361. "It's my time to shine"

362. Hatsume!

363. To allow us to consider fighting you huh?

364. You're underestimating us.

365. I wonder.

366. All right each team will take the practical exam in order on the prepared stage.

367. Sato Kirishima get ready.

368. Yes sir!

369. Those waiting their turn can watch the exams or think of strategies as a team.

370. Do what you want.

371. That's all.

372. Ojiro I would like to see what we can do with our Quirks.

373. Of course.

374. Tokoyami let's come up with a plan.

375. Very well.

376. The problem is how to strip Ms. Midnight right?

377. No. You're such a scumbag.

378. "Monitor Room"

379. Well it looks like I'll have a lot of work today.

380. "Pro Hero - Recovery Girl - Heal"

381. Oh?

382. You're watching too Deku?

383. Yeah.

384. We don't have many chances to see other students and the teachers fight.

385. Besides even if I wanted to talk about strategies...

386. I see.

387. Well for me...

388. It's like there's no point trying to talk to him.

389. Aoyama...

390. That's why I thought I'd try to use everyone else's fights for reference.

391. Yeah.

392. I have to pass this exam by any means possible.

393. Team Sato and Kirishima practical exam.

394. Ready go!

395. For this exam we'll definitely get a higher score by capturing rather than running right?

396. I think so.

397. Mr. Cementoss moves slowly.

398. Let's break through from the front and aim for a high score!

399. All right!

400. Rikido Sato. Sugar Rush!

401. For every ten grams of sugar he'll be five times as strong for three minutes!

402. However when he uses sugar for power his cognitive function goes down accordingly.

403. You came from the front after all huh?

404. Let's go Sato!

405. All right!

406. Not yet.

407. You can do it Kirishima Sato!

408. They won't win at this rate.

409. Kirishima and Sato's Quirks are amazing

410. but there's a limit to how long they can use them.

411. On the other hand I don't think Mr. Cementoss has that.

412. The more time passes the more of a disadvantage Kirishima and Sato will be at.

413. No way...

414. This practical exam is pitting students against teachers

415. they'd have a hard time with on purpose.

416. I think the key will be how they deal with their weaknesses to pass.

417. That's exactly right.

418. Before your own turns come around

419. you should think carefully about your compatibility with the teacher you'll fight.

420. I knew it.

421. This is never ending man!

422. No matter how many I break they just keep coming!

423. I'm sleepy... I'm tired...

424. Hey keep trying!

425. I'm sleepy...

426. I-I'm running out of breath...

427. You're both extremely weak in a war of attrition.

428. Listen in a fight you have to see just how much you can push the things you're good at.

429. Team Sato and Kirishima retires due to both members losing consciousness.

430. Seriously?

431. That's...

432. Kirishima's...?

433. Oh dear it's only the first match and I already have work?

434. No way...

435. It was this one-sided?

436. Their Quirks were too ineffective against his.

437. This exam is much harder than what I imagined.

438. On top of that

439. Kacchan and I are up against...

440. "Practical Exam Location 2"

441. We the examinees are starting from the middle of the stage huh?

442. In order to escape we must pass through the designated gate right?

443. Which means the teacher's probably waiting for us by the gate.

444. Team Asui and Tokoyami practical exam.

445. Ready go!

446. I forgot to tell you...

447. We teachers are also trying to crush you with everything we have.

448. Prepare...

449. your determination and resolve!

450. It's the preview!

451. "Preview"

452. Asui and Tokoyami are up against Ectoplasm!

453. And Todoroki and Yaoyorozu are up against Mr. Aizawa?

454. The match has been decided before it even started huh?

455. Hurry up and finish it so we can get to my turn!

456. Aoyama before that there's still Iida and Ojiro's exam...

457. That should be finished quickly as well.

458. I can't do anything about it!

459. Next time "Yaoyorozu: Rising."

460. I'll say something shocking in the last scene so look forward to it.

461. Go beyond!

462. "Next time: Yaoyorozu: Rising"

463. Plus Ultra!
