02x21 - (S) Gear Up for Final Exams

[bunniefuu]

Live TV till after noon!

Today's topic is: "Is sexiness

necessary for hero work?"

And so, we have these two in the studio today--

A rookie hero who debuted

just this year, Mt. Lady, and--

Midnight, who is currently

teaching at U.A. High School!

Thank you both for coming today.

Please, have a seat.

Now, Midnight,

when you first debuted, your costume

was so extreme that it created a stir,

eventually leading to the "Regulations

for Exposed Skin in Costumes" bill

being submitted to the National Diet.

You're known as a veteran

hero who changed the country.

It's still pretty bad right now, though.

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

Many say that because of the nature of

their Quirks, clothes obstruct their abilities.

It's not a matter of whether

or not sexiness is necessary,

but rather that the result of

necessity became seen as sexy.

It's just what you like, right?

What's with you?

Trying to pick a fight?

Of course not! It's just, how do

I put it--I think you're amazing!

For your age.

Are you trying to show that your

only redeeming feature is your youth?

Even though you're not that young?

I'm saying that if the

older generation tries too hard,

then it's hopeless for us younger folks!

--You little...!

--Hey, watch your hands!

You, too! Oh, jeez!

--Stop pulling! It'll rip!

--It's ripped!

What an incredible episode!

Breaking through deception

See the blue sky

Eternity has flown away

If I sing to the sky

I have no chance to deny regrets

Inevitable Inevitable

The future is determined

So rebel against it

Mirages

I've paddled through the river of tears

For a long time

Good-bye

I have to go

No matter what I will lose

Never forget my chagrin and humiliation

I'll decorate my heart with them

Breaking through deception

See the blue sky

Eternity has flown away

If I sing to the sky

I have no chance to deny regrets

Inevitable Inevitable

The future is too bright to be abandoned

So rebel against it

"Gear Up for Final Exams"

Okay, that's it for class.

There's only one week

left until the final exams.

You all are studying properly, right?

I'm sure you already know,

but it won't just be a written exam.

There's also a practical component.

Make sure you train your minds

and bodies at the same time.

That's all.

"Midterm: th/" "Midterm: th/"

I haven't studied at all!

With the sports festival and

internship, I didn't study at all!

"Midterm: th/"

It's true that we had

one event after another, but...

"Midterm: th/" "Midterm: th/"

For the midterms, we'd just started

school, so they didn't cover much,

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

but with the back-to-back events

and stuff, the finals will be different...

It'll be tough since

there's a practical exam, too.

"Midterm: th/"

It'll be tough since

there's a practical exam, too.

N-Ninth on the midterms?!

And here I thought you were one of us!

Guys like you are only

likable if they're dumb...!

Where's the demand for this?!

The world, I guess.

Ashido, Kaminari!

L-Let's do our best!

"Midterm: th/"

We all want to go to the

training camp together, right?

"Midterm: nd/"

Yes! As class rep, I also have high

hopes that you'll all be moved to action!

"Midterm: th/"

It's pretty hard to fail if

you just pay attention in class.

Be careful with your words!

"Midterm: st/"

You two, I may be able to be of

assistance with the class lectures.

Yao-momo!

I can't help at all with

the practical, though...

I'm not one of those two,

but can I join, too?

"Midterm: th/"

I'm not one of those two,

but can I join, too?

"Midterm: th/"

I'm having some trouble

with quadratic functions...

Huh?

"Midterm: th/"

Sorry, me too! How are you

with classical Japanese?

Huh?

"Midterm: th/"

I'd like to join, too.

"Midterm: th/"

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

Please!

Everyone!

Yes, of course!

All right!

Then, let us hold a study session

at my residence this weekend!

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

"bounce bounce bounce"

Oh, in that case, I must tell

Mother and have her open up the hall!

Hall?!

What kind of tea are you all partial to?

Tea?!

In my family, we always

drink Harrod's or Wedgwood,

so if you have any preference, let me know!

Of course, you can

trust me to help you study, too!

I will definitely show you how I can help!

--It's like she casually slapped me with

the huge difference in how we were born...

--Warm fuzzies... Warm fuzzies...

--...but her bounciness is

so cute that I don't care.

--Warm fuzzies... Warm fuzzies...

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

Harrod's, right?

"Midterm: th/"

"Midterm: th/"

Look at the difference in virtue.

"Midterm: rd/"

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

Yeah, I'm counting on you!

"Midterm: th/"



"Midterm: th/"

Everyone's panicking now,

even though it won't do any good

to cram this late in the game.

"Midterm: th/"

Shouldn't you try cramming a little?

What are you talking about?

What is it?

"Lunch Rush's Eatery"

The practical exam, huh?

It's kind of scary since

I can't tell what'll be on it.

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

The written exam questions

will come from what we study in class,

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

"Midterm: th/"



"Midterm: th/"

You can manage, huh...?

Seriously, what'll we have

to do for the practical exam?

"Midterm: th/" "Midterm: th/"

"It'll be a comprehensive test

of everything from first semester."

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

Everything we did so far...

So, combat training and rescue training,

and then basic training...

In addition to studying, we'll have

to keep in good physical conditio--

Oh, sorry. Your head was

so big that I accidentally hit it.

You're from Class B...

Um... Monoma!

How dare you--

I heard you guys met the hero k*ller.

Just like at the sports festival,

you guys in Class A just have

to have all the attention, huh?

But that attention isn't because

people have high hopes for you.

It's because you keep attracting trouble, right?

Oh, that's scary.

Someday, the rest of us might also

be caught up in the trouble you bring

and become victims as well...

Like getting cursed by the god of pestilence!

Oh, that's sca--

Monoma, that's not funny.

Don't you know what happened to Iida?

Kendo!

Sorry, Class A. This guy's

heart's just kinda, you know.

His heart...?!

You guys were talking earlier

about how you don't know what's gonna

be on the practical exam for the finals, right?

Looks like it'll be combat against

robots like in the entrance exam.

What? Really?!

How do you know?

An upperclassman friend of mine told me.

It's kind of cheating, though.

No, it's not cheating.

That's right, I'm sure gathering information

ahead of time is also part of the test.

"mutter mutter mutter"

That's right, I'm sure gathering information

ahead of time is also part of the test.

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

Why didn't I realize?

Are you an idiot, Kendo?

We had an information advantage!

This was our chance to get

ahead of the detestable Class A!

They're not detestable!

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

All right!

Oh, it'll be easy if it's robots!

Yeah, yeah!

You guys look like you'd have a hard time

controlling your Quirks against people.

Yeah! But I can just let loose

with robots, so it'll be a cinch!

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

Now you just need Yaoyorozu to help

you study, and you'll be set for the finals!

We'll definitely be able

to go to training camp now!

You may one day have

to fight against this great evil...

In order to prepare to face those words,

I have to make everything count from now on.

It doesn't matter if they're people or robots.

They're the same if you beat 'em up, right?

What're you idiots talking

about it being a cinch for?

--Who're you calling an idiot?!

--Shut up!

If you need to control your Quirk,

then control it! Idiot!

Hey, Deku!

I don't know if you've figured out

how to use your Quirk a little or what,

but you seriously keep

rubbing me the wrong way.

Oh, he must be talking about how Deku

was moving like Bakugo the other day.

Oh, yeah!

I don't need another half-assed

result like at the sports festival.

At the upcoming finals,

we'll get individual scores,

so we'll see who's better

whether you like it or not.

I'll beat you with an indisputable difference!

I'll k*ll you!

Todoroki!

You, too!

It's been a while since

I've seen Bakugo that intense.

Impatience...?

Or hatred?

Bakugo has gotten worse than I thought.

"Yaoyorozu"

Wow...

I knew she was rich,

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

Everyone, I have been waiting for you!

Please, come in.

I feel so out of place,

it's making me nervous...

Me, too...

"bounce bounce bounce"



"bounce bounce bounce"

What is it?

Oh, nothing...

"Written Exam - Day "

"Written Exam - Day "



"Written Exam - Day "

Pencils down, everybody.

The last person in each row, collect

the answer sheets and bring them here.

Thanks, Yao-momo!

I didn't leave anything blank, at least!

And so, our three days

of written exams were over.

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

"Practical Exam Area - Center Plaza"

Now, we will begin the practical exam.

Of course, it is possible to fail this exam.

If you want to go to the training camp,

then don't make any stupid mistakes.

There are a lot of teachers...

I expect that you all have

gathered information ahead of time

and have some idea of what you will be doing.

We're fighting robot warriors

like at the entrance exam, right?

Fireworks! Curry! Test of Courage!

Too bad!



For various reasons, the exam

will be different starting this time!

"Pop"

For various reasons, the exam

will be different starting this time!

Principal Nezu!

Different?

From now on, we want to focus on

person-to-person combat and hero work,

and stress teaching that

is closer to actual fighting.

So...

We'll have you form teams of

two to fight against one teacher!

Against... the teachers?

In addition, the pairs and who each pair

will be up against have already been decided.

These were determined at

my discretion based on various factors,

including fighting style, grades, and

interpersonal relationships, so here they are:

First, Todoroki and Yaoyorozu are one team,

and they're fighting me.

And Midoriya and Bakugo are a team,

and their opponent...

I... will do it!

All Might?!

Work together to beat me, you two!

"A few days ago"

"A few days ago"

With the connection between Hero k*ller:

Stain and the League of Villains,

"Conference Room"

With the connection between Hero k*ller:

Stain and the League of Villains,

there is the possibility that

the villains will be reinvigorated, huh?

Of course, it would be better

to prevent that before it begins,

but as a school, it would be

best to be completely certain.

If we consider how fights against villains

will continue to intensify in today's society,

then combat training

against robots is not practical.

Originally, robots were used to avoid complaints

about people being injured

in the entrance exams.

We can just ignore those.

Let them say what they want.

We can't exactly do that now, can we?

I understand why you want to change the exam,

but having the students

fight us in teams of two...

Yes, I think that is a bit unfair.

If we win too easily,

we won't be able to give them grades.

Of course, we would take that into

consideration and give the students a handicap.

Principal Nezu, what do you think?

Of course, I also agree

with changing the practical exam.

What should we do to keep the

students from being in even more danger?

The answer is simple.

We must have the students

themselves become stronger.

That's true.

I have no objections.

Then, to determine the teams--

First, Todoroki. In general, he's doing well,

but overall, he has a

tendency to use brute force.

And Yaoyorozu is an all-rounder

but lacks the ability to make

spur-of-the-moment decisions and apply them.

Therefore, I will erase their Quirks

and take advantage of

their weaknesses in close combat.

No objections!

Next, for Midoriya and Bakugo,

I'm leaving them to you, All Might.

For these two, I didn't pair

them up based on ability or grades.

Just on how badly they get along.

You like Midoriya, right?

Please instruct them well.

Aizawa, you're paying attention.

And now, we'll announce the teams and

the teachers they'll be up against all at once!

"st Match"

"nd Match"

"rd Match"

"th Match"

"th Match"

"th Match"

"th Match"

"th Match"

"th Match"

"th Match"

The time limit for the exam is thirty minutes!

Your objective is either to

put these handcuffs on the teacher,

or to have one of you escape from the stage!

Capture the teacher or escape...

It's kind of like the combat training.

Is it really okay to run away?

Yup.

But it'll be different from the combat training!

You'll be up against someone

waaaaaay better than you!

Better... than us?

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

Dummy! Hey girl, watch your mouth! You hear?

This time, your exam will be

very similar to a real battle.

Please think of us as villains.

Assuming you come across the enemy,

if you think you can win a

fight against them, then that's fine.

However--

In cases where there's too big

a difference in your abilities,

it would be smarter to run away and get help.

Todoroki, Iida, Midoriya.

I'm sure you three understand this well.

Idiot! The hero k*ller is after me

and that kid in white armor, right?

Don't fight back.

It'd be better if you ran away!

I won't make that mistake again.

I will pass this test and prove that!

Fight and win, or run and win.

That's right! Your decision-making

skills are being tested!

But with these rules, you're probably

thinking the only choice is to run, right?

That's why we had the

support course make these for us!

Ultra compressed weights!

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

It's to give you a handicap.

It's old-fashioned, but it makes it

hard to move and eats up stamina!

Oh sh**t, they're heavier than I thought...

By the way, there was a

competition to decide on the design,

and we ended up using Young Hatsume's.

"It's my time to shine"

and we ended up using Young Hatsume's.

"It's my time to shine"

Hatsume!

To allow us to consider fighting you, huh?

You're underestimating us.

I wonder.

All right, each team will take the

practical exam in order on the prepared stage.

Sato, Kirishima, get ready.

Yes, sir!

Those waiting their turn can watch

the exams or think of strategies as a team.

Do what you want.

That's all.

Ojiro, I would like to see

what we can do with our Quirks.

Of course.

Tokoyami, let's come up with a plan.

Very well.

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

No. You're such a scumbag.

"Monitor Room"

Well, it looks like

I'll have a lot of work today.

Oh?

You're watching, too, Deku?

Yeah.

We don't have many chances to

see other students and the teachers fight.

Besides, even if I wanted

to talk about strategies...

I see.

Well, for me...

It's like there's no point

trying to talk to him.

Aoyama...

That's why I thought I'd try to use

everyone else's fights for reference.

Yeah.

I have to pass this exam

by any means possible.

Team Sato and Kirishima, practical exam.

Ready, go!

For this exam, we'll definitely get a higher

score by capturing rather than running, right?

I think so.

Mr. Cementoss moves slowly.

Let's break through from

the front and aim for a high score!

All right!

Rikido Sato. Quirk: Sugar Rush!

For every ten grams of sugar, he'll be

five times as strong for three minutes!

However, when he uses sugar for power,

his cognitive function goes down accordingly.

You came from the front after all, huh?

Let's go, Sato!

All right!

Not yet.

You can do it, Kirishima, Sato!

They won't win at this rate.

Kirishima and Sato's Quirks are amazing,

but there's a limit to

how long they can use them.

On the other hand, I don't

think Mr. Cementoss has that.

The more time passes, the more of a

disadvantage Kirishima and Sato will be at.

No way...

This practical exam is

pitting students against teachers

they'd have a hard time with on purpose.

I think the key will be how they

deal with their weaknesses to pass.

That's exactly right.

Before your own turns come around,

you should think carefully about your

compatibility with the teacher you'll fight.

I knew it.

This is never ending, man!

No matter how many I break,

they just keep coming!

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

Hey, keep trying!

I'm sleepy...

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

You're both extremely weak

in a w*r of attrition.

Listen, in a fight, you have to see just how

much you can push the things you're good at.

Team Sato and Kirishima retires due

to both members losing consciousness.

Seriously?!

That's...

Kirishima's...?

Oh dear, it's only the first match,

and I already have work?

No way...

It was this one-sided?

Their Quirks were too ineffective against his.

This exam is much harder than what I imagined.

On top of that,

Kacchan and I are up against...

"Practical Exam Location "

We, the examinees, are starting

from the middle of the stage, huh?

In order to escape, we must pass

through the designated gate, right?

Which means, the teacher's

probably waiting for us by the gate.

Team Asui and Tokoyami, practical exam.

Ready, go!

I forgot to tell you...

We teachers are also trying

to crush you with everything we have.

Prepare...

...your determination and resolve!

I can't imagine you ever giving up

But I'm sure you've had days

that were empty and miserable

If you think you'll have

many once-in-a-lifetime endeavors

Then I want to see those moments

Even if there's only one lifetime,

there are many chances to be together

You're the strongest, giving me,

with absolutely nothing, meaning in life

"Hooray! Hooray!" What's this ability

you have to make me say this over and over?

Keep standing your ground

and giving me courage

"Hooray! Hooray!" Even all the

insignificant things are calling out

When I look at your eyes, I can run, too

I want to try carving out the best finale

'Cause you're my hero.

It's the preview!

Asui and Tokoyami are up against Ectoplasm!

And Todoroki and Yaoyorozu

are up against Mr. Aizawa?!

The match has been decided

before it even started, huh?

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

Aoyama, before that,

there's still Iida and Ojiro's exam...

That should be finished quickly, as well.

I can't do anything about it!

Next time, "Yaoyorozu: Rising."

I'll say something shocking in

the last scene, so look forward to it.

"Next time: Yaoyorozu: Rising"

Go beyond!

"Next time: Yaoyorozu: Rising"

Plus Ultra!
