05x09 - (D) Early Bird!
Posted: 03/27/23 10:49
[IZUKU] At UA High School,
hero Classes -A and -B
are competing against each
other in combat training.
Three matches have passed,
leaving each class
with one win,
one loss, and one draw
at the beginning of
the fourth round.
[JIRO] Wait, bad idea.
Let's talk about this, okay?
[SATO]
Yeah, you're not serious, right?
[KATSUKI]
Shut up.
[KATSUKI]
Just watch me, Deku!
[BONDO]
The stage works for them.
With Sero setting traps
and Jiro on recon,
this could be way bad.
Like a total pain.
Plus, there's Sato's strength
and Bakugo's absurd explosions.
It's a super-balanced team.
We should assume we're dead
if we mess up at all.
None of that crap matters.
Let's just slash 'em
all to pieces.
We'll take 'em by surprise;
the early bird gets the worm.
[VLAD KING] Currently, Class A
and Class B are neck and neck
when you look at the stats.
But while they may
seem evenly matched,
the truth is,
Class A's win was mostly
thanks to Shinso,
so it barely counts!
[laughs] I think we all know
what that says about them.
[BOTH] You've gotta stop rooting
for your class, Mr. Vlad!
[MIDNIGHT]
Vlad sure is hot blooded
for someone with blood control.
[ALL MIGHT]
He obviously loves his students.
A lot.
Stop complaining.
What?! Sir, this is
a legitimate protest!
[AIZAWA]
Is this how you'll react
if you mess up in a real fight?
Meanwhile, Class B
is coming up with plans
and countermeasures to win.
[AIZAWA]
Vlad speaks the truth.
Which means he's
technically beating me.
[laughs]
[cackles] Not surprised these
troublemakers can't hack it.
Wanna know why?
The reason you get caught up
in so many disasters is
because you're immature.
[cackles]
[ALL MIGHT]
Class B has been training hard
every day to become stronger.
Class A still has
plenty to offer.
[MIDNIGHT] You certainly
are sweet on Class A.
[ALL MIGHT]
I'm fond of every student!
[ALL MIGHT]
I'm looking forward to seeing
what you do and
what you've learned,
Young Bakugo.
Why can't you keep up?
[JIRO] I'm trying to listen
for sounds while I run.
[KATSUKI]
You better not fall behind.
He's expecting people
to follow as usual.
Hasn't changed much
since the sports festival.
From a certain point
of view, he is cooperating.
Sort of.
[KATSUKI]
Listen up, you underlings!
Just follow me when this starts.
[SERO] That isn't what
I'd call teamwork.
[SATO]
Did you call us underlings?
[KATSUKI] I'll take the lead
and head toward the fight.
Look alive.
You three better be
ready to support me.
'Specially you!
Make sure you keep track
of the enemy, Ears!
Hey! My name is Jiro.
[SERO]
Are you gonna charge them?
'Cause... the other team looks
really good at counterattacks.
Jiro's a recon pro.
We should just hold back.
Play it safe and wait
for an opening.
Idiot.
That's exactly what
they're expecting us to do.
We're not waiting
for the right moment.
We're making our own opening.
If we get eyes
on them, we've won.
[KATSUKI]
Got it?
[ALL yelp]
[JIRO]
What the heck, man?
[KATSUKI]
Take those just in case.
[KATSUKI]
They don't pack much of a punch,
but they can be useful.
One more thing.
[JIRO] Not much of a plan.
Is this gonna work?
Got you!
Ears!
Jiro!
They should be around
here somewhere. Find them!
[metal clinking]
What's taking so long?
Hang on!
[JIRO gasps]
This is a trap!
[TOKAGE]
Hi. And bye!
[KATSUKI grunts]
[TOKAGE laughs] I used Jiro's
search ability against her.
Smart, huh?
[PRESENT MIC]
Class B, Setsuna Tokage.
Hero name: Lizardy.
Quirk: Lizard Tail Splitter.
She can divide her
entire body into pieces
that move at her will!
[TOKAGE laughs]
[TOKAGE gasps]
[PRESENT MIC]
Since improving her Quirk,
she can break into
fragments at a time!
[KATSUKI]
Cheap move.
[SERO]
Bakugo, down here!
Nice, that's checkmate.
Glue Squall!
Ew, gross!
Aw, sh**t. This backfired.
We basically built a spiderweb
that they've gone
and trapped us in.
[BONDO]
Got 'em!
I knew Setsuna's plan
would defeat them.
[PRESENT MIC]
Class B, Kojiro Bondo.
Hero name: Plamo.
Quirk: Cemedine.
He sh**t out glue and controls
exactly how fast it dries!
Too slow, villains!
[PRESENT MIC]
Class B, Togaru Kamakiri.
Hero name: Jack Mantis.
Quirk: Razor Sharp.
He can produce blades
on any part of his body!
[KAMAKIRI yelling]
[TOKAGE]
I threw off Jiro's abilities
by forming a cacophony
of noise around her.
Then Bondo covered the
pipes and tape with glue.
One touch and they're
stuck for good.
[SATO] I'll at least
protect my teammates!
[SERO]
Bakugo!
[KAMAKIRI]
Just what I hoped for!
I'll start with Jiro!
[ALL MIGHT]
Save people to win.
[IZUKU]
Win to save people.
[KATSUKI]
Are you watching?
I've gotten even stronger!
[KAMAKIRI yells]
[KATSUKI]
One more thing.
Whenever you guys are
in danger, I'll protect you.
Managed to block the blast.
Guess bugs have fast reflexes.
Seriously?
Thank you.
[KATSUKI]
Shut it! They got away!
Look for them!
It doesn't matter
if this is just training.
I've made a decision.
[KATSUKI] No one will
question our victory.
Because our match
is gonna be flawless.
Four to zero and no injuries!
Understand?
That's how somebody with
actual strength competes!
[MONOMA]
Sorry, what?
There must be
something in my eyes.
Looked like he
protected Jiro just now
Heck yeah he did.
By kicking her.
You're getting to see what
our Bakugo is really like.
Cool, huh? Don't worry.
Your eyes are fine.
[MONOMA yells] Are you telling
me he his personality changed?
[shrieking]
Uh, well.
I guess what he just
did is kinda new.
Never seen him put
so much on the line.
[KAMAKIRI grunting]
[KAMAKIRI] Not smart
to face Bakugo head on.
Better stay back.
[TOKAGE] If we fight him
like we expected to,
we'll definitely
lose this match.
[TOKAGE]
So, if we can't capture them,
we'll retreat and
ambush them repeatedly.
It's the only way to have
an advantage over them!
So loud! But...
there aren't as many.
Are you sure?
And they're moving
further away from us.
Then they must be
tryin' to regroup.
Those morons are
underestimating us.
[TOKAGE] Bakugo is the
powerhouse of their team.
The others are simply following
his lead and trying to keep up.
If we focus on Bakugo and
force him to make a mistake,
the rest of them won't
stand a chance.
There are so many
sounds in the way.
But... if I concentrate,
I can tell them apart.
Let's go!
[BONDO yells]
He was hiding without
making a sound!
[MINETA]
They turned the tables again!
And Construction-Done-Kwik.
My Weldcraft is...
...complete!
[PRESENT MIC]
Class B, Yosetsu Awase.
Hero name: Welder. Quirk: Weld.
He can fuse things together
at the molecular level!
However, in order for
his Quirk to work,
he has to touch the
things he wants to weld.
[SERO]
They know us too well.
Yeah, like you can
catch me with Tape
when there are so many
pipes in the way.
Was this part of Tokage's plan?
She has everything figured out.
[yells]
[yelling]
Here comes Sugar Rush!
You're good.
[KATSUKI]
You won't stop me, damn it!
You don't have to get so mad.
[KATSUKI]
Handle this guy.
[SERO]
On it.
You're mine.
[KATSUKI]
Whenever you guys are in danger,
I'll protect you.
And when I'm in danger...
Hope you like my
Heartbeat Surround!
[KATSUKI]
...you guys had better save me!
[TOKAGE]
Awase!
No! He's headed after Bondo!
[BONDO]
Not good!
Took me a little
while to get used
to fighting in this cold.
[KATSUKI]
But I'm finally warmed up!
[BONDO yelping]
I got this guy!
[VLAD KING] What unexpected
teamwork from Class A!
They managed to take two of
my dear students in an instant!
[MONOMA]
I thought he was a tyrant
who couldn't work with others!
Don't tell me he's starting
to mellow out now!
[JIRO]
Bakugo!
[TOKAGE]
He acts on his own accord.
While the rest of
them support him.
I thought if we found
a small opening
we could widen it slowly
until they break down.
But look at them!
[KATSUKI]
X-Catapult!
[TOKAGE]
How is this team so in sync?
Bakugo trusts his teammates
so he doesn't have
to do it all alone!
Being in the band
loosened him up.
But he's still
driving the beat.
[SERO] Tokage's Quirk lets her
split her body into pieces,
which she controls from afar.
The parts that leave
her stop moving
after a set amount of time.
And then she regenerates
them onto her main body.
I'm guessing about
a couple of things here.
But I'm betting that she can't
regrow those pieces forever.
I think she's like Yaoyorozu.
When she's tired,
she probably loses focus.
If she split herself as much
as she could to make noise,
then I figure it'll be harder
for her to fight at full power.
In that case, wouldn't
she bring some back
to her body to reset the timer?
And save her stamina so she
can keep using her Quirk!
Jiro said it sounded like there
were fewer noises around.
Which just proves my theory!
That was close!
No. You're kidding!
How have you changed this much?
[KATSUKI] I haven't changed.
My goal's always been the same.
[KATSUKI] To surpass All Might
and become the number-one hero.
[VLAD KING]
The horror. The shame.
[door clangs]
[VLAD KING] The match didn't
even last five minutes!
Thanks to unexpected teamwork,
Class A wins with the day's
first perfect score
of four to zero!
[AIZAWA]
You didn't do unnecessary damage
and you neutralized your
opponents efficiently.
Bakugo may have taken the lead,
but you three supported him.
Solid win. Great job today.
[VLAD KING] Given what you
knew about the other team,
you came up with a strategy that
should have given you an edge.
[growls] But you were stuck
on it and needed to be
more flexible, like Honenuki!
I'm sorry that I made
our team look lame.
I failed.
No, let's carve this
loss into our hearts
and learn from it!
Yeah. Sure.
If a monster like Bakugo
turns into a team player,
there's no weakness
for us to exploit.
[KAMAKIRI]
Afraid that's true.
[BONDO]
I agree.
[TOKAGE sighs]
Kacchan, you can play with
others when you want to!
And Jiro, you were a
total heroine out there!
Nope. I'm a hero.
[SERO] Our resident delinquent,
taking in the strays.
Nope. Not a stray, dude.
You gave me chills.
What, you catch
a cold or somethin'?
Kacchan!
Outta my way!
Uh... I'm not in front of you,
so what does that even mean?
[KATSUKI sighs]
I'm pushing ahead.
Yeah. You were amazing!
Huh. I'm moving so fast,
you won't be able to catch up.
Yes I will.
Shut it, nerd!
Dumb words don't mean anything!
I won't let you beat me.
You're trash! A fricken' extra.
Just watch me.
You have a good
childhood friend in him.
[KATSUKI]
Damn it!
[ALL MIGHT] If only he
were a tad more polite.
What?
I can't believe that hysterical
rage monster was a team player.
Since when does he strategize?
[TOKAGE]
Monoma. Apologies.
With one win,
two losses, and one draw,
Class B can only
hope to tie now.
[MONOMA] What are you
apologizing for, my dear Tokage?
Our immature compatriot
reflected on his
actions and evolved.
It's a marvelous thing.
While it's true that Class B
can't win anymore,
we still haven't lost yet!
The people will see!
Win or lose,
we'll prove our point.
We're hardworking students who
never cause an ounce of trouble.
Meanwhile, Class A gets
undeserved attention
because they're disasters!
Who is on the better path?
Everyone is a side character
in other people's stories.
But we are each the
protagonist of our own lives!
[YANAGI]
So what's the plan?
You're k*lling my vibe!
I think we should
do something similar
to Tokage's team, even though
it didn't work out for them.
Our team's a lot like theirs
was in terms of balance
compared to our opponents.
We've got a group that
excels at technical Quirks,
so it would be better for us
to hide ourselves and attack
when we can surprise them.
We have five people.
So that gives us the upper hand.
There's no reason for us
to choose close combat.
[YANAGI] There's a difficult
fight ahead of us.
Don't you think
Midoriya's spooky?
He's "spooky"?
Oh. She loves spooky stuff.
It's kind of her thing.
Okay.
[SHINSO]
Midoriya, huh?
[YANAGI] Considering his
mobility and combat skills,
he's the same if not
better than Bakugo.
And apparently, he's learned
a long-distance attack,
so he doesn't even
need to get close.
We stumble even a little,
and it'll end up
like the last match.
He'll destroy us.
True. So we'll make
Midoriya our top priority.
No matter what the others do,
we'll take him down first.
At the Sports Festival,
he was able to break
free of my Quirk.
But... if we use Brainwashing
in conjunction with Monoma's
power, I think we can take him.
[MONOMA] Lotta pressure when
you single me out like that.
It's possible it'll
be a blank on my end.
A "blank"?
Meaning he won't be able
to copy Midoriya's Quirk.
Oh.
[MONOMA] Well, we won't
be able to do anything
unless we stop him somehow.
We're counting on you, Shinso.
Match Five. It's down to this.
The new guy. How's he doing?
This battle will determine
if he'll be able
to transfer into
the hero course.
He already showed that
he could hold his own
in the first match.
But I doubt he can use
the same trick.
They know it now.
[VLAD KING]
Agreed.
[MIDNIGHT] The Class A team
is fairly stacked.
I hope the boy fairs well.
[MINETA]
Yeah, so, we should just start
by going after Shinso, right?
I'm kinda freaking out
about that weirdo.
I don't want him snooping
around in my head!
Don't get too hung up on
one member of their team.
The've got a bunch of people
who can attack from anywhere
and catch us by surprise without
giving away their location.
And we make things... float!
[ASHIDO]
Melt!
[MINETA]
Stick!
Not great.
Now I'm bummed.
[OCHACO] We can't lie
in wait and can't attack.
All right!
Then we should go
with my special
Pop Off Vineyard Operation
and kick their butts!
[ASHIDO]
No one's going to fall for that.
We should find them first
and make them fall into a trap!
No sweat.
I can act as the bait.
[OCHACO]
Deku!
Hold on a sec.
Didn't you say your Quirk was
acting weird or something?
Yeah. But I think it's fine now.
[IZUKU] After watching
that fourth match,
I think the other team will
be on guard around me.
They don't want a repeat Bakugo.
I need to move even
more than usual!
You sure you'll be okay?
We're all counting on you!
Don't you worry.
We can definitely win!
Yeah!
Woo-hoo!
Weren't you girls just saying
we're not suited for this?
[IZUKU]
Everything feels normal.
[KATSUKI]
I'm pushing ahead.
[KATSUKI] I'm moving so fast,
you won't be able to catch up.
[IZUKU]
After hearing Kacchan talk,
I can't embarrass myself!
It's now time for the fifth
and final training match!
[VLAD KING]
This one's for all the glory.
Are you ready?
Do your best until
the last student's down!
[VLAD KING]
Begin!
[IZUKU]
Here's the preview!
We're finally starting the last
match of team combat training.
Class A will technically come
out on top if we tie or win.
Though we can't let
our guards down.
The Class B team has Shinso.
And Monoma, who has the
ability to copy Quirks.
I'm the key to our victory.
And I will not fail!
Next time:
"That Which Is Inherited."
In the middle of the fight,
something strange
wells up inside me.
Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
hero Classes -A and -B
are competing against each
other in combat training.
Three matches have passed,
leaving each class
with one win,
one loss, and one draw
at the beginning of
the fourth round.
[JIRO] Wait, bad idea.
Let's talk about this, okay?

They managed to take two of
my dear students in an instant!
[MONOMA]
I thought he was a tyrant
who couldn't work with others!
Don't tell me he's starting
to mellow out now!
[JIRO]
Bakugo!
[TOKAGE]
He acts on his own accord.
While the rest of
them support him.
I thought if we found
a small opening
we could widen it slowly
until they break down.
But look at them!
[KATSUKI]
X-Catapult!
[TOKAGE]
How is this team so in sync?
Bakugo trusts his teammates
so he doesn't have
to do it all alone!
Being in the band
loosened him up.
But he's still
driving the beat.
[SERO] Tokage's Quirk lets her
split her body into pieces,
which she controls from afar.
The parts that leave
her stop moving
after a set amount of time.
And then she regenerates
them onto her main body.
I'm guessing about
a couple of things here.
But I'm betting that she can't
regrow those pieces forever.
I think she's like Yaoyorozu.
When she's tired,
she probably loses focus.
If she split herself as much
as she could to make noise,
then I figure it'll be harder
for her to fight at full power.
In that case, wouldn't
she bring some back
to her body to reset the timer?
And save her stamina so she
can keep using her Quirk!
Jiro said it sounded like there
were fewer noises around.
Which just proves my theory!
That was close!
No. You're kidding!
How have you changed this much?
[KATSUKI] I haven't changed.
My goal's always been the same.
[KATSUKI] To surpass All Might
and become the number-one hero.
[VLAD KING]
The horror. The shame.
[door clangs]
[VLAD KING] The match didn't
even last five minutes!
Thanks to unexpected teamwork,
Class A wins with the day's
first perfect score
of four to zero!
[AIZAWA]
You didn't do unnecessary damage
and you neutralized your
opponents efficiently.
Bakugo may have taken the lead,
but you three supported him.
Solid win. Great job today.
[VLAD KING] Given what you
knew about the other team,
you came up with a strategy that
should have given you an edge.
[growls] But you were stuck
on it and needed to be
more flexible, like Honenuki!
I'm sorry that I made
our team look lame.
I failed.
No, let's carve this
loss into our hearts
and learn from it!
Yeah. Sure.
If a monster like Bakugo
turns into a team player,
there's no weakness
for us to exploit.
[KAMAKIRI]
Afraid that's true.
[BONDO]
I agree.
[TOKAGE sighs]
Kacchan, you can play with
others when you want to!
And Jiro, you were a
total heroine out there!
Nope. I'm a hero.
[SERO] Our resident delinquent,
taking in the strays.
Nope. Not a stray, dude.
You gave me chills.
What, you catch
a cold or somethin'?
Kacchan!
Outta my way!
Uh... I'm not in front of you,
so what does that even mean?
[KATSUKI sighs]
I'm pushing ahead.
Yeah. You were amazing!
Huh. I'm moving so fast,
you won't be able to catch up.
Yes I will.
Shut it, nerd!
Dumb words don't mean anything!
I won't let you beat me.
You're trash! A fricken' extra.
Just watch me.
You have a good
childhood friend in him.
[KATSUKI]
Damn it!
[ALL MIGHT] If only he
were a tad more polite.
What?
I can't believe that hysterical
rage monster was a team player.
Since when does he strategize?
[TOKAGE]
Monoma. Apologies.
With one win,
two losses, and one draw,
Class B can only
hope to tie now.
[MONOMA] What are you
apologizing for, my dear Tokage?
Our immature compatriot
reflected on his
actions and evolved.
It's a marvelous thing.
While it's true that Class B
can't win anymore,
we still haven't lost yet!
The people will see!
Win or lose,
we'll prove our point.
We're hardworking students who
never cause an ounce of trouble.
Meanwhile, Class A gets
undeserved attention
because they're disasters!
Who is on the better path?
Everyone is a side character
in other people's stories.
But we are each the
protagonist of our own lives!
[YANAGI]
So what's the plan?
You're k*lling my vibe!
I think we should
do something similar
to Tokage's team, even though
it didn't work out for them.
Our team's a lot like theirs
was in terms of balance
compared to our opponents.
We've got a group that
excels at technical Quirks,
so it would be better for us
to hide ourselves and attack
when we can surprise them.
We have five people.
So that gives us the upper hand.
There's no reason for us
to choose close combat.
[YANAGI] There's a difficult
fight ahead of us.
Don't you think
Midoriya's spooky?
He's "spooky"?
Oh. She loves spooky stuff.
It's kind of her thing.
Okay.
[SHINSO]
Midoriya, huh?
[YANAGI] Considering his
mobility and combat skills,
he's the same if not
better than Bakugo.
And apparently, he's learned
a long-distance attack,
so he doesn't even
need to get close.
We stumble even a little,
and it'll end up
like the last match.
He'll destroy us.
True. So we'll make
Midoriya our top priority.
No matter what the others do,
we'll take him down first.
At the Sports Festival,
he was able to break
free of my Quirk.
But... if we use Brainwashing
in conjunction with Monoma's
power, I think we can take him.
[MONOMA] Lotta pressure when
you single me out like that.
It's possible it'll
be a blank on my end.
A "blank"?
Meaning he won't be able
to copy Midoriya's Quirk.
Oh.
[MONOMA] Well, we won't
be able to do anything
unless we stop him somehow.
We're counting on you, Shinso.
Match Five. It's down to this.
The new guy. How's he doing?
This battle will determine
if he'll be able
to transfer into
the hero course.
He already showed that
he could hold his own
in the first match.
But I doubt he can use
the same trick.
They know it now.
[VLAD KING]
Agreed.
[MIDNIGHT] The Class A team
is fairly stacked.
I hope the boy fairs well.
[MINETA]
Yeah, so, we should just start
by going after Shinso, right?
I'm kinda freaking out
about that weirdo.
I don't want him snooping
around in my head!
Don't get too hung up on
one member of their team.
The've got a bunch of people
who can attack from anywhere
and catch us by surprise without
giving away their location.
And we make things... float!
[ASHIDO]
Melt!
[MINETA]
Stick!
Not great.
Now I'm bummed.
[OCHACO] We can't lie
in wait and can't attack.
All right!
Then we should go
with my special
Pop Off Vineyard Operation
and kick their butts!
[ASHIDO]
No one's going to fall for that.
We should find them first
and make them fall into a trap!
No sweat.
I can act as the bait.
[OCHACO]
Deku!
Hold on a sec.
Didn't you say your Quirk was
acting weird or something?
Yeah. But I think it's fine now.
[IZUKU] After watching
that fourth match,
I think the other team will
be on guard around me.
They don't want a repeat Bakugo.
I need to move even
more than usual!
You sure you'll be okay?
We're all counting on you!
Don't you worry.
We can definitely win!
Yeah!
Woo-hoo!
Weren't you girls just saying
we're not suited for this?
[IZUKU]
Everything feels normal.
[KATSUKI]
I'm pushing ahead.
[KATSUKI] I'm moving so fast,
you won't be able to catch up.
[IZUKU]
After hearing Kacchan talk,
I can't embarrass myself!
It's now time for the fifth
and final training match!
[VLAD KING]
This one's for all the glory.
Are you ready?
Do your best until
the last student's down!
[VLAD KING]
Begin!
[IZUKU]
Here's the preview!
We're finally starting the last
match of team combat training.
Class A will technically come
out on top if we tie or win.
Though we can't let
our guards down.
The Class B team has Shinso.
And Monoma, who has the
ability to copy Quirks.
I'm the key to our victory.
And I will not fail!
Next time:
"That Which Is Inherited."
In the middle of the fight,
something strange
wells up inside me.
Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
