03x03 - (D) Kota

[bunniefuu]

[IZUKU]

Welcome to UA High,

the prestigious school

that's turned out

some of the world's

greatest heroes.

I'm running toward

my dream in these halls.

Learning to overcome

obstacles and save people

with a smile on my face.

That's how I'll become the

greatest hero in the world!

[yawns]

[yawns]

[grunts]

We're focusing on our Quirks?

[VLAD]

Class A's already training.

You all need to catch up.

Last semester, Class A

was in the spotlight.

Next semester,

it's Class B's turn.

From now on, you're

sh**ting for the top.

Don't let me down!

[TETSUTETSU] We're such

disappointing students!

I get you want everyone

to improve our Quirks.

But we have unique

powers in our class.

What kind of training will

help all of us get better?

[KAMAKIRI]

Yeah, can you be more specific?

[VLAD] When your muscle

fibers are overused,

they break and

grow back tougher.

Thicker. Quirks are

the same way.

They improve the harder

you push them.

Stronger after every workout.

In other words, there's

only one thing to do!

You'll have to break yourselves!

[ALL whimper]

[yells]

[PRESENT MIC]

Katsuki Bakugo.

He's plunging his hands

into boiling water to expand

his sweat glands, then

creating chain explosions

to increase the scale

of his bangin' attacks.

Shoto Todoroki.

Alternating between

ice and fire,

he's regulating the

temperature of the water.

His body gets

accustomed to the cold

and he works on

controlling his flames.

Some day he might be able

to use both at once!

[PRESENT MIC]

Hanta Sero.

Having him produce tape

continuously will increase

his capacity and improve

the tape's tensile strength

and sh**ting speed.

Eijiro Kirishima

and Mashirao Ojiro.

Every time Ojiro hits

Kirishima's Hardened skin

with his Tail, both of their

Quirks are steadily improved.

[whimpering]

[PRESENT MIC]

Denki Kaminari.

By running his currents

through a high-capacity battery,

he's learning to handle

larger amounts of electricity.

[yelling]

[PRESENT MIC] Koji Koda.

In order to increase the reach

of his Anivoice, he's

doing vocal exercises

to help him build up his range.

It's also good for helping

him to become less shy.

[AOYAMA]

Ooh!

[PRESENT MIC]

Yuga Aoyama.

He's building up his body

by blasting Navel Laser.

This increases

the attack's range

and lets him use it

even with tummy issues.

[PRESENT MIC]

Fumikage Tokoyami.

His goal is to keep

control of Dark Shadow

even when it goes wild.

[TOKOYAMI]

Dark Shadow!

[PRESENT MIC]

Ochaco Uraraka.

She's getting her inner ear

canals used to zero gravity

in an effort to reduce nausea.

All while increasing how

much weight she can lift.

[PRESENT MIC]

Tenya Iida.

Hardcore long-distance

running improves

his leg strength and stamina.

Tsuyu Asui.

She's working out all

the muscles in her body

including her tongue.

Rikido Sato.

He's lifting weights, while

at the same, time scarfing down

the sugar that allows him

to power up his sweet Quirk.

Momo Yaoyorozu.

Also stuffing her face,

she hopes to amp up

her creation Quirk and

shorten the amount of time

needed for her to use it.

Kyoka Jiro.

Amplifying the quality

of her audio by honing

her headphone jacks.

Mina Ashido.

By constantly creating acid,

she can increase her

skin's durability.

Minoru Mineta.

Increasing the strength of

his scalp will keep his head

from bleeding even when he

keeps poppin' off ba*ls.

Toru Hagakure and Mezo Shoji.

They're improving their

Quirks by having Shoji

quickly create

multiple Dupli-Arms

and hunt down Hagakure,

who is working on her stealth.

--[MINETA] Ow...

--Oh, man.

This is pretty intense.

Operative types will

be raising your limits,

maxing out your power.

And the rest--you'll mostly

focus on strengthening

body parts related

to your Quirks.

Now normally,

these changes happen

gradually as you grow.

[AIZAWA]

But we don't have time for that.

Your class has a lot

of work to do.

Once we team up with Class A,

there'll be students here.

That's a whole lot of Quirks

for our homeroom teachers

to manage on their own.

Which is why we called them.

[RAGDOLL] That's correct!

Four kittens in one litter!

[MANDALAY]

Your feline fantasies are here.

Say "meow."

[RAGDOLL]

Allow us to lend a helping paw!

We're champions

serving up justice.

With our tails.

Purrfectly cute

and catlike heroes!

[WILD, WILD PUSSYCATS]

We're the Wild, Wild Pussycats!

Full version!

Damn it!

I'm Ragdoll, and my

Quirk is Search.

I can look at up to people

and know everything about them.

Like their location

and weakness.

With my Earthflow,

I can create the ideal training

ground for every student.

And my Quirk is

called Telepath.

I can give advice to

multiple people at once.

[TIGER]

The name's Tiger.

And I'm here to beat

you guys to a pulp.

[RIN]

I have questions about him.

Damn it!

[TIGER] All you kids

with strength Quirks,

time for Tiger's bootcamp.

Class A's already sweating,

so catch up quick!

C'mon, show me what you got.

[IZUKU]

Five percent Detroit Smash!

[grunts]

[TIGER]

If you don't push yourself,

you won't shred

your muscle fibers,

and then you won't get stronger!

[IZUKU]

Right, sir.

I can't hear you!

[IZUKU]

Right, sir!

[KAIBARA]

He's scary.

You wanna be

Plus Ultra, don't you?

Then show me what that means!

[IZUKU]

Yes, sir!

[SHISHIDA] That guy is way

more intense than I expected.

[VLAD]

There's a lot going on at UA,

so it's hard for us

to spare much staff

for the hero course first years.

[AIZAWA] Based on their

experience and range of powers,

these four were the

most logical choice

to help you enhance your Quirks

in such a short amount of time.

[VLAD]

Don't fall behind Class A.

Do me proud!

[CLASS B STUDENTS]

Yes, sir!

[panting]

[IZUKU] The Quirk

All Might passed on to me

was more than I deserved.

And then Gran Torino

taught me how to use it

in a way that wouldn't

destroy my body.

[ALL MIGHT] You're overflowing

with energy at the moment.

With training, your body

will hold it better.

[IZUKU] I've come a long way

in such a short time.

It's up to me to move forward

and make this power my own!

--[IZUKU yells]

--That's right!

Tear that weak Quirk apart

and make it stronger!

[IZUKU]

Yes, sir!

[IZUKU panting, grunting]

[PIXIE-BOB]

Now. Remember what I said?

We're not serving

your food anymore!

If you guys wanna eat,

you'll have to make

your own meals!

Starting with curry!

[STUDENTS]

Yes, ma'am.

[RAGDOLL laughs] Oh, man,

do you guys look exhausted.

But that doesn't mean

you can coast by

making sloppy cat food.

Oh! I see.

An important part of

saving someone recovering

from a disaster is providing

for their physical needs

as well as spiritual.

Ah! This is a great opportunity!

Let's make the most

delicious curry

in the world, everyone!

[STUDENTS]

Yeah, okay.

[AIZAWA]

Thank you, Iida.

[ASHIDO]

Hey, Todoroki!

Can we get some fire

over here, too?

Bakugo. Use an

expl*si*n to light that.

This is so beneath me!

[TOKOYAMI]

Too much.

[YAOYOROZU] Rely on others

and you'll never learn

to start a fire yourself.

We should focus on

acquiring new skills.

Ugh.

[TODOROKI]

Here. Let me.

[OCHACO]

Wow! Thank you so much!

[ASHIDO]

Burn, baby, burn!

But not too hot, okay?

[STUDENTS]

We did it!

[KIRISHIMA]

If I got this at a restaurant,

I'd send this crap back.

But after today,

I'll eat every bite.

[SERO]

Don't say that!

Whoa, you're scarfing, Momo!

Yes.

My Quirk transforms lipids

into brand new atoms

to create inorganic materials.

That means, the more I eat,

the more I can make.

Like how poop works.

--Apologize!

--[SERO] Okay, I'm sorry!

[KOTA]

Tch.

[MANDALAY]

Kota. It's time for dinner!

Where are you?

[IZUKU]

Hm.

[stomach growls]

[IZUKU]

I heard that.

You must be hungry.

Here. I brought you some curry.

No way! How'd you

find this place?

[IZUKU] Oh, sorry.

I followed your footsteps.

I thought you might want some

dinner before it gets cold.

Whatever. I'm just fine.

Get lost. I don't wanna

hang out with you.

So forget about

my secret hideout.

This is a secret hideout?

[KOTA]

Hmph. Spending your entire life

trying to improve your

Quirk. It's dumb.

All you want to do is show off.

Get lost!

Hey, about your parents.

I was wondering.

Were they the Water Hose heroes?

With the water Quirks?

Did Mandalay tell you?

No. It's, um...

Well... Sorry!

But...

I heard a little about

what happened to them.

And based on that

information, I figured...

I remember reading about

that horrible incident

a few years ago.

Go away.

Everyone here's so crazy.

Calling people stupid names

like "hero" and "villain,"

and then k*lling each

other because of it.

Always focusing on their Quirks.

If they hadn't been showing off,

they'd still be here. Idiots.

[IZUKU] It's not just heroes.

Kota hates Quirks.

And this entire

superhuman society.

[KOTA]

We're done here.

Go back to camp

with the other losers.

[IZUKU]

Um. Hey. My, uh, my friend.

This guy I know really well.

He didn't inherit any

abilities from his parents.

[KOTA]

Huh?

It's a hereditary thing.

And these days it's

really uncommon.

He admired heroes so much,

and wanted to be one.

Thing is, you can't

usually become a hero

unless you've got

some kinda Quirk.

But still.

My friend refused to accept

that, and hoped for a miracle.

He tried to use telekinesis.

And to breathe fire.

But it was no good.

There are lots

of different ways

to think about how Quirks work.

So, we might not

be on the same page.

But I think that if you

reject them completely,

it's just going

to make life harder.

In so many ways.

Will you just leave

me alone already?

Go away!

I'm sorry.

I guess I have a habit

of rambling sometimes.

Here, I'll leave the curry.

Shut up. All of you.

Just stop it.

[TOGA grunts]

[TOGA] I do not like this.

It's so not cute!

[MUSTARD] They were engineered

for the black market,

from what I hear.

You should be worried

that they work,

not that they look pretty.

[TOGA] Ugh, I'm just

saying they could be

a little more stylish.

Is that too much to ask?

[MAGNE] Hi, darlings!

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Get to work.

Get to work.

[DABI]

That makes seven of us.

[MUSCULAR]

I don't care. Just let me loose.

I'm too pumped up to stand by.

Shut your mouth,

you crazy b*stard.

We wait.

We're still expecting

three more people

to join our little party.

The League of Villains

made a mistake

going after them with a bunch

of random th*gs at the USJ.

Better to use a small

group of elites.

[DABI]

The first thing we have to do

is take away their

sense of peace

and show them that their

lives rest in our hands.

[KODA screams]

[AIZAWA]

Hey, remedial group. Keep at it.

Yes, sir!

Sorry. But I need

more beauty rest.

[KAMINARI] Who knew

yesterday's extra lessons...

[SERO] ...would go on until

two in the morning...

[SATO]

...and start back up at seven.

[AIZAWA] I told you

it'd be tough. Remember.

You're not just

improving your Quirks.

You're also working to

overcome the many weaknesses

I saw in the finals.

[STUDENTS yelp]

[AIZAWA] Think carefully

about why you're more tired

than the others before

you start whining.

You have much to improve here.

[STUDENTS]

Right. Yes, sir.

[AIZAWA]

Uraraka! Aoyama!

The same goes for you.

Your team didn't fail,

but you were very close.

I'd say you passed the

proverbial finish line

by only a hair.

[OCHACO yelps]

That bad?

Mon dieu .

[AIZAWA]

Don't lose focus.

Each of you can move faster!

And no matter what you're doing,

just remember where

you started from.

Don't forget who

you were before UA.

Always keep in mind

why you're sweating,

and why your limits

keep getting tested.

That's what it means to improve.

[KATSUKI]

Where I started.

[TODOROKI]

Who I am.

[IZUKU]

How I got here.

[IZUKU] Hey, that

reminds me, Mr. Aizawa.

It's already the

third day of camp.

[AIZAWA] Weren't you

listening? Stay focused.

[IZUKU] I was just

wondering if All Might--

I mean, the other teachers

from UA will be joining us.

Like I said before

we came out here.

To keep the camp a secret

from the villains,

hardly anyone knows

where we are.

That's why you get to work out

with us four pussycats!

And think about it.

We believe All Might is one

of the League's targets,

so we can't have him here.

It's for your own safety.

For better or for worse,

that's what he gets for

standing out so much.

Hah.

[IZUKU] Seems like it's mostly

"for worse" these days.

[IZUKU]

So that's it.

All Might won't be

here to help me.

Meow, meow, meow, meow!

More importantly,

tonight's gonna be fun!

We're pitting classes against

each other in a test of courage.

I know you've been

training hard today.

And later, you'll

get to play hard!

How's that for a reward?

[KENDO] It just sounds

like more training.

And training in

the dark, no less.

Revelry in the dark.

[RIN]

How much can we do in one day?

[laughs] 'Least we get to

beat Class A, am I right?

Don't slack now!

Make sure you keep on pushing

yourself as you work!

[STUDENTS]

Yes, ma'am.

Remember... where I came from.

[TIGER]

Hey. You're not Plus Ultra yet.

[IZUKU yelps]

Right!

Whoa, Bakugo,

you're really good

with that knife!

It's weird.

What do you mean "it's weird"?

How can you people be so

damn bad at everything?

[KAMINARI] Look at that.

He's not blowing stuff up.

I'm too tired for this.

[TODOROKI]

Did you need All Might

for a particular reason?

You asked Mr. Aizawa about him.

Yeah. Um. I did.

Because of Kota.

Kota? Who's that?

[IZUKU]

Huh? The boy that's over there.

He's Mandalay's cousin's...

Hold on. Where did he go?

[IZUKU]

Probably to his hideout.

He really doesn't like

being around everyone.

[IZUKU] Anyway, Kota

doesn't like heroes.

Actually, he hates the whole

concept of superhumans,

Quirks and everything.

I tried to talk to him, but I

think I just made things worse.

I was just wondering what

All Might would have done

to help him if he'd been here.

I mean, what would you

say to him, Todoroki?

It depends.

Of course! Sorry I asked!

To have a complete stranger

try to change your

mindset sounds like

a pretty irritating

conversation.

What matters are actions.

You have to show him what

you're trying to prove. Right?

If you're going to

rely on words alone,

then they'd better

be incredibly powerful.

What you say doesn't

matter near as much

as what you actually do.

[ALL MIGHT]

So when I saw this timid,

Quirkless boy try

to save a life,

it inspired me to act, too.

Young man. You, too,

can become a hero.

You're right. I went

about this the wrong way.

How can I, a stranger,

say anything to him?

I don't know what your goal is

when it comes to this child.

But it sounds to me

like you shouldn't be

sticking your nose in

a delicate situation.

You tend to cut to the heart

of people's feelings.

It can be annoying.

[IZUKU]

Right. Sorry about that.

[TENYA] You guys!

Your hands aren't moving!

We'll never make the best

stew if you stop now.

[PIXIE-BOB]

Perfect.

We've filled our bellies

and cleaned the dishes.

It's time for...

A totally awesome

test of courage!

[KIRISHIMA, SERO, KAMINARI]

We're gonna win!

[AIZAWA]

Not so fast.

It pains me to say it,

but the remedial class

will be having lessons

with me tonight instead.

You've gotta be kidding me!

[AIZAWA]

Sorry.

Your training during the

day didn't impress me,

so I'll be using this time, too.

[KAMINARI, SERO]

Oh, give me a break!

[SATO, KIRISHIMA]

I just wanna prove my courage!

Okay. So.

Class B is going to start

out as our "scarers."

When they're in place,

Class A will leave in pairs

every three minutes.

There are tags with

your names on them

at the far end of the route.

Your goal is to collect those.

Revelry in the dark.

[OCHACO]

Why's he keep saying that?

[PIXIE-BOB] Now, those who

are scarers aren't allowed

to make physical contact.

Use your Quirks to

terrify the others.

Got it?

The winners are

the creative students

who make the most people

piss their pants.

Did we need that visual?

I see!

They're encouraging us

stoke our imaginations

as we compete with each other,

all while showing us

more uses for our Quirks

in the process.

As expected of UA!

All right!

Everyone draw to see

who your partner will be.

[IZUKU] Hm? If we're

in teams of two...

Wait.

There are of us,

but five in extra lessons.

[IZUKU] One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight?

Okay let's try this again,

I must be missing something.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight?

[IZUKU yelps]

I'm all alone.

We were randomly assigned.

It's not that nobody

chose you or anything.

Listen up, Tail.

--Trade with me.

--[MINETA] Aoyama.

[MINETA] Please switch me

partners, I should be with her!

Wait, what did you call me?

Revelry in the dark.

[JIRO, HAGAKURE scream]

[PIXIE-BOB]

Next team!

That's you two kittens.

Ribbity and Miss Floater.

[JIRO, HAGAKURE screaming]

[OCHACO]

I'm getting scared, Tsu.

And those screams

aren't helping.

[TSUYU]

That's Kyoka and Toru, I think.

Here, take my hand.

Don't be afraid.

We'll look out for each other.

One step at a time.

[OCHACO]

Mm-hm.

[HONENUKI laughs]

Nice going, Kodai,

you managed to scare

everybody so far,

ya big creeper!

[KENDO] Yeah, you're

the star of the night!

[KODAI]

Huh?

I can't get over how funny

Bakugo and Todoroki were.

[KATSUKI, TODOROKI]

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

I thought they were tough.

[KENDO]

Hey. Smell that?

I think there's

something burning nearby.

[HONENUKI]

Huh? Now that you mention it,

it's kinda smoky out here.

Maybe Bakugo and Todoroki

got so scared, they fire--

Honenuki?

[gasps]

[KENDO]

Yui! Don't breathe in!

This smoke. It's poisonous!

[PIXIE-BOB] What's this

foul smell in the air?

[IZUKU]

You see that?

[MANDALAY]

Black smoke.

[TENYA]

Has something been set ablaze?

[OJIRO]

Maybe a fire on the mountain?

[DABI]

Now, it begins.

[PIXIE-BOB]

Hey, what's happening?

[MANDALAY]

Pixie-Bob!

[DABI]

Take them down.

Those who believe they

deserve the title "hero."

[TOGA cackles]

[DABI]

We, the Vanguard Action Squad

of the League of Villains, will

tear them off their pedestals.

[MAGNE] First, let's get

rid of these feral cats.

[MINETA]

What? No way!

I thought they made sure

no one could find us.

So why the heck

are there villains

attacking this place?

Pixie-Bob!

This is bad.

[gasps] Where's Kota?

[IZUKU]

Here's the preview!

The League of Villains

suddenly attack

during our test of courage,

and not even Kota can escape

their evil clutches.

To make matters worse,

I'm the only one

who knows where he is.

That means it's up

to me to save him.

But I have to hurry!

I need to remember

why I want to be a hero

if I'm going to succeed,

and how far I've come

since I first met All Might.

Next time: "My Hero."

With One For All at full power,

hopefully, I can protect

Kota from harm!

Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
