05x07 - (D) Match 3

[bunniefuu]

[MONOMA]

Look who we have here.

Relaxed and full of

yourselves as always.

Come on, Class A!

Let's see who's best

once and for all!

[IZUKU] Classes -A and -B

from the hero course at UA high

are battling it out against one

another in team combat training.

[IZUKU] For the first match,

Class A pulled off a win

with the help of Shinso,

a special participant

from general studies.

[IZUKU]

Then, in the second battle,

Yaoyorozu's situational analysis

shined, but it was Kendo's

advanced planning that ended up

being the key to success.

Class B's team managed

to take home the victory,

meaning we're currently

tied with one win each.

[TOKOYAMI coughing]

Sorry about that, Tokoyami.

You want a cough drop?

I don't need your pity.

Fair enough. At least

see Recovery Girl

and get some medicine

for your throat.

[coughing]

[TRANSPOBOT A] Humans can't

get stronger without training?

What inefficient beings.

[TRANSPOBOT B]

Why must we carry the injured?

Rescue protocol needs reform.

[SHINSO] The grounds

were completely wrecked.

It was so different

from the first match.

[AIZAWA] This is what training

in the hero course is like.

That said, they did

go a little overboard.

Fukidashi! Kendo!

Remember your surroundings.

Damage should be kept

to a minimum.

--[FUKIDASHI] Yes, sir!

--Sorry 'bout that!

[AIZAWA] Right, so, when will

Komori's mushrooms disappear?

They'll be gone in two

hours, give or take.

Then it would be logical

to change locations.

[VLAD KING]

Maybe take a break as well.

[laughing] That match was

an overwhelming victory

for the superior Class!

Just like at the

school festival,

Class B is certain

to come out on top.

It couldn't be more obvious!

Aw, you poor losers,

no need to look so frustrated.

It's not your fault.

We're just better.

Accept inferiority!

[cackles]

[KENDO]

Apologies.

He's a broken record

that needs to be set on fire.

I don't know why

he talks like that

when he knows she's

gonna smack him.

[laughs]

Dang, your class has

some heavy hitters.

You're blowin' my mind here.

I'd say the same thing

goes for you guys.

[HAGAKURE]

Fukidashi, I didn't know

you could make something so big!

[FUKIDASHI] My throat gets

scratchy when I do!

But I'm trying to learn

to power through it!

It's not just their Quirks.

You have to factor in

attitudes and mental strength,

which both contribute

to overall growth

and lead to better performances

on the b*ttlefield!

You're sure writing a lot.

You know, you've grown

a ton, too, Deku.

[IZUKU]

I hope so.

[MINETA] Nowhere near

as much as me, though.

Yeah, I don't see it.

I'm not talking about my height!

[whispering] I am here.

Without startling you.

Oh, All Might!

[ALL MIGHT] Young Midoriya,

a moment, please?

--[IZUKU] Sure!

--[ASHIDO] That's cool. Bye!

[MINETA] Feels like

Midoriya's with All Might

every other second

these days, doesn't it?

It seems that way.

I heard he's been helping Deku

with practice outside of class.

Ooh, shocker, shocker.

Of course you've got

the deets on Midoriya.

Uh! No! I just

heard it, that's all,

from somebody else, probably.

[yelps]

Ah! I'm so sorry!

Don't use your Quirk

before our match starts!

You're wasting your power!

[ASHIDO laughs]

Nice!

Clock this breakdown!

[ALL MIGHT] Young Midoriya,

have you sensed anything strange

in your Quirk since that night?

[IZUKU] No. Nothing I've

noticed, at least.

[ALL MIGHT]

Interesting. As I mentioned,

this is all new territory.

I've never heard of a

spontaneous activation before.

But I'm planning to ask Gran

Torino if he knows anything.

[IZUKU] Great! That would

be super helpful.

[whispering] Be careful

in that fifth battle.

Things could get weird.

After all, the vestiges of One

For All did first appear to you

during a match

against Young Shinso.

Right. I'll be on high alert.

--Again?

--[IZUKU] Yikes!

Kacchan, where did

you come from?

Uou two asked me to keep

your relationship a secret.

But you're always sneaking

around like this.

Are you stupid?

[ALL MIGHT gulps]

Don't you gulp at me!

Did something happen?

And don't lie.

[IZUKU]

Well... Actually...

[KATSUKI]

In your sleep?

Huh. You're so hopeless,

I can't tell if you're

improving or failing.

[IZUKU]

Honestly? I don't know, either.

[KATSUKI] When are you

gonna master One For All?

Soon? I've gotten stronger since

the last time we fought,

so you'd better be keeping up.

I'm trying. I swear.

[ALL MIGHT] Young Bakugo

is being considerate

in his own special way.

The hell're you smiling at?

I'm dead serious, ya idiot,

and that dumb look on

your face pisses me off!

[ALL MIGHT]

Or not.

[ALL MIGHT] Young Midoriya

seeing vestiges of One For All.

And he'll be fighting the person

who first triggered

their appearance.

I feel like everything

is connected somehow.

[ALL MIGHT] Master.

What are you and the other

previous users of our Quirk

trying to tell us?

How's my patient doing?

With these minor injuries,

you'll be back to normal

in half an hour.

You should be thankful

that your young body

heals so quickly.

And that skin! So supple.

[VLAD KING] The third match

will take place in an area

two blocks east of where the

previous rounds were held.

The cages have been moved

to your new bases.

This little breather is over!

Prepare for the

third training battle!

It's finally Iida's

turn to fight.

[IZUKU] This group has

Todoroki's two wide-range

ice and fire att*cks,

Iida's unmatched speed,

Shoji's superior scouting

capabilities, and Ojiro,

who excels at close combat.

Talk about a balanced team.

Lucky draws.

[MINETA] We've got Todoroki,

so it should be an easy win.

You shouldn't count your grapes

before they're grown, boys.

My grapes are huge!

[TOKOYAMI]

Todoroki.

Yeah, what's up?

Your throat feeling any better?

Yes, I took the

prescribed medication.

I will endure.

Glad to hear.

I performed shamefully

out there.

Please avenge us.

Wait, why is it up to me?

Our mentors, Hawks and Endeavor.

We studied under

the heroes who fought

the last great battle

still in people's minds.

That makes it our duty to uphold

the honor of the top two heroes.

I see.

[TODOROKI]

"The last great battle." Sure.

[ENDEAVOR]

I'll go Plus Ultra.

Prominence Burn!

[ENDEAVOR]

Shoto.

You must learn this move

if you're to advance.

Do not run from me.

Do not run from your nature!

Stand up!

Quit pretending to be weak!

Toya had the potential.

He had even more

firepower than me.

But he had your mother's

weak constitution.

He was close. Until...

It's on you now, Shoto!

It has to be.

You're the only one

who can do this move!

You can fulfill my ambition!

[TENYA]

Todoroki.

Todoroki?

Is something wrong?

You have quite a puzzled

look on your face.

Oh, really?

It's true. Are you

worried about something?

No, I'll be okay.

Thank you for asking.

He's not exactly the

most expressive person,

so I didn't notice.

That's impressive, Tenya.

It's my responsibility.

I am class representative.

I must aid any of

our troubled peers.

You seem really cheerful.

More than usual.

Yes, I am!

My brother's recovery

has been going well lately.

[OJIRO]

Oh. That's great to hear!

You know, I think the

hero Ingenium is finished.

At least for me.

[TENYA] No! You still

have so many people

to help and inspire, brother.

This can't be true.

[TENSEI]

That's why...

I want you to take the name.

Will you do that? For me, Tenya.

[TENYA] I also have the duty

to uphold my brother's honor

and live up to his name.

I'm watching everyone

closely, but that means

everyone's watching me, too.

I was third place

at the sports festival!

I'll show everybody that

I'm a worthy successor!

[IZUKU]

A worthy successor? Huh.

[TETSUTETSU] People always

treat me like I'm some kinda

hardheaded moron without a clue,

but I got accepted into UA

just like you guys.

It's not like I rush into things

without thinkin' of the endgame.

What are you talking about?

This unbalanced team

we're stuck with!

We don't have any scouts.

That's gonna spell

big trouble for us.

[KAIBARA]

You have a point.

[TETSUTETSU]

Then, what'll we do?

Huh, guys?

We just talked about our pl--

[TETSUTETSU]

I'll tell ya what.

What?

We'll have to level this place!

Terrible idea!

Come on, come on,

come on, come on, come on!

[KAIBARA]

Are you nuts?

Mr. Vlad said to keep

damage to a minimum.

[TETSUTETSU] Smashy, smashy,

smash, smash, smash!

Okay. Maybe I should start

shouting directly

in the kid's face.

[OJIRO]

What's that?

[SHOJI] I hear the screeching

sounds of metal against metal.

My guess? Tetsutetsu's loose.

Level thise whole place!

[PRESENT MIC]

Class B, Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu.

Hero name: Real Steel.

Quirk: Steel.

[PRESENT MIC] He can turn

his entire body into metal.

That means he's both a deadly

sword and the perfect shield.

[TETSUTETSU]

Take this! And this!

No cheap tricks needed!

It's a fight to the death!

A brawl for the ages!

Hold on!

The other team's

got Todoroki on it!

Don't care!

I thought you said

you were thinking!

You're just being obstinate.

[HONENUKI] Well, we can work

with this, too, I suppose.

And your thinking's

too flexible, Juzo!

Ah, jeez! You're gonna dog-gone

blow it for us, metalhead!

You hear, what you're

making Pony sound like?

Is this what you want?

[HONENUKI] Tetsutetsu

doesn't mean any harm.

In fact, his approach

even plays to our strengths.

Great, now you're the one

who sounds crazy.

[laughing] Bring it on,

ya villains!

[SHOJI]

The sound is getting louder.

Based on the reverberations,

I believe he's destroying

their surroundings.

He's a good brawler.

They must intend

to fight us head-on.

If that's the case,

I welcome the approach.

It'll make it easier

for us to deal with them.

Agreed.

[TENYA]

All right.

Time to make our class proud.

Let's go, Team !

[KIDO] The villain is continuing

to flee down route five.

[VILLAIN A laughs]

[KIDO]

Looks like we've been successful

at driving him

toward the harbor.

[VILLAIN A]

Not catchin' me.

[VILLAIN A]

E-Endeavor?

You won't escape!

[VILLAIN A]

I'll take a hostage!

[ENDEAVOR]

Get outta here! Run!

[BOYS scream]

[VILLAIN A]

Damn you. Let go of me!

I'm afraid I can't do that.

[VILLAIN A yels]

No, stop, please!

I'll go quietly!

[ONIMA]

Good work, Endeavor!

Clean arrest.

[ENDEAVOR]

Collateral damage?

[KIDO]

Little to speak of.

[ONIMA] Yeah, not many

people at the harbor.

It was a smart plan.

Of course.

[BOY C]

Um. 'Scuse me.

[ENDEAVOR]

What is it?

We just wanted to say thank you!

For saving us!

Any of you hurt at all?

[ALL]

No, sir!

[ENDEAVOR]

Best be off then.

[BOYS]

Bye!

Endeavor, sir?

We've had another hero ask

about teaming up with you.

You want me to make

the usual report?

Yes.

Just compile a list

of active requests.

[ENDEAVOR]

With Fuyumi's help.

I finally, finally got

Shoto's contact info.

[ENDEAVOR]

Shoto, there's something

I want to tell you once more.

So stop ignoring my messages!

I'm not the same person

who disregarded

what you wanted in life!

Do not run from me.

Do not run from your nature!

Stand up!

Quit pretending to be weak!

[ENDEAVOR] Now that you're

working toward becoming

your own hero, I want

to teach you that move,

like a good father.

To do that...

...you have to stop

ignoring my messages.

Shoto!

[ENDEAVOR]

Shoto!

[ONIMA] His kid's probably

in class, right?

[KIDO] It feels like

all this "Shoto" shouting

is getting worse by the day.

[sneezes]

[TENYA]

Are you okay?

I didn't think

you ever got sick!

[TODOROKI]

Yes. I'm sure I'm fine.

[OJIRO]

We're almost there.

You know the plan,

let's all spread out.

[TENYA]

On it!

[SHOJI]

Make it count, Todoroki.

[laughing]

[TSUNOTORI]

Tetsutetsu!

The other team's

not gonna show up

just because you're

making a racket!

They'll think it's a trap!

[HONENUKI]

No.

I'd head this way

if I were them.

Get Shoji to figure out

what's going on,

then have Todoroki unleash

a powerful att*ck.

If I thought the other team

was standing around

out in the open...

[groaning]

[MINETA] That's our super

strong ice master!

So cool!

And he made the ice

so it's not blocking

their line of sight.

He's gotten better!

Now we know where

Todoroki is. The others?

Can't see them!

[TENYA] Even if Honenuki

has used his Quirk

to soften the ground on us,

it won't matter if we

stick them in place.

[OJIRO]

With their movements inhibited,

we'll take them in one swoop.

[TENYA]

Reciproburst!

Come get some!

[TENYA]

What?

[HONENUKI]

Blasting ice is a cheap move.

Though if you'd been

coldhearted and used fire,

we wouldn't have been

able to trap you.

[PRESENT MIC]

Class B, Juzo Honenuki.

Hero name: Mudman.

Quirk: Softening.

He makes the things

he touches turn soft.

They go back to normal

when he touches them again.

Doesn't work on living

things though.

Thanks, Juzo!

Gotta love how flexible

that power is.

[PRESENT MIC] This relaxed

rockstar took one of

Class B's

recommendation spots!

He must have activated his Quirk

the moment the ice appeared.

A fast reaction.

I'll retreat for now

and wait for--

[HONENUKI] Found you!

I softened a bunch of random

stuff around here, so it'd

be smart to watch your step.

[VLAD KING]

Class B does an excellent job

of brushing off

Todoroki's area att*ck!

Now, to show their stuff!

[SERO] Honenuki guessed

that the ice was coming?

[SATO] That, or he

improvised crazy fast.

Is he really that good

at reading the situation?

I hope our classmates

haven't been thrown off.

Nice job, Juzo!

I'll handle Ojiro!

[OJIRO grunts]

[OJIRO] I can't guard

against this for long!

[PRESENT MIC]

Class B, Sen Kaibara.

Hero name: Spiral.

Quirk: Gyrate.

He can make any part of his body

spin like a supercharged drill!

[TENYA]

Ojiro!

Caught again?

[HONENUKI]

Your legs are only as strong

as what you're standing on.

The ground beneath

the ice is also softened.

You're difficult to deal with.

So I'll leave you trapped

in the muck for now.

[TENYA] Are you trying to keep

us from working as a team?

Villain! Your wickedness

knows no bounds!

[SHINSO]

He really gets into character.

It's going to be hard for

them to get around now.

Class B's team doesn't have

anyone good at reconnaissance.

But as long as their opponents

are trapped in one place,

that's not a disadvantage.

With his ice off the table,

Todoroki is operating

at half his power.

Correctomundo.

All that's left is

to overwhelm them.

[TODOROKI]

In this situation,

I can't use my Quirk

to the best of my abilities.

Should I go to the front?

Then there'd be no one

to guard Shoji as he scouts.

[TODOROKI]

What?

[TSUNOTORI]

I was betting they'd keep Shoji

in what they thought

was a safe place

far from where we are! Like...

...hidden behind their

so-called "ace" Todoroki!

[PRESENT MIC]

Class B, Pony Tsunotori.

Quirk: Horn Cannon.

She can send her horns flyin'!

Currently, she can control

up to four of them

once they've sh*t off her head!

She's pretty particular

about keeping them polished.

[SHOJI grunts] These are

stronger than I expected.

Tetsutetsu!

[TETSUTETSU]

Here we go.

Horn Dash Hammer!

Are my teeth chattering?

You're so freaking cold,

my brain feels like

it's gettin' frosty.

If I weren't on top of things,

you'd freeze my steel solid!

Think you can b*at me

in a hand-to-hand fight?

You don't stand a chance!

Man's been paying attention.

He's doing what Mr. Aizawa said

I shoulda done in my match.

Nah, I bet he's not

thinkin' all that much.

Honenuki seems like the one

who's calling most of the sh*ts.

What's the matter?

You keep on dodging!

Be good and stay there, okay?

[TENYA]

You are evil incarnate!

[HONENUKI]

Sorry 'bout it.

Recipro has a time limit, right?

Not so smart to use it

right at the beginning.

Anyway, I'm gonna go

help Tetsutetsu.

[TENYA]

A time limit?

That was a while ago, Mudman.

Ingenium will rush

anywhere at anytime.

That's what these legs are for!

They won't be constrained!

[TENYA]

You see?

I've been at full throttle

this entire time!

New Style. Recipro Turbo!

[HONENUKI]

Seriously?

[TENSEI]

Congrats on getting your

provisional license, little bro.

[TENYA]

Thanks, Tensei.

You're abusing your Engine

a bit much though, aren't you?

Hey, Mom.

He's getting close

to that age, you know?

Don't you think it's time?

[TENYA'S MOM]

Well, he's matured,

but I still feel like it

might be too soon for that.

[TENYA]

Tuning my Engine?

Yeah. Training is good,

but you can also pull

your mufflers out.

Do it right, and parts that

can take more of a b*ating

will grow back in their place.

It's a technique passed

down from our grandfather

so that the Iida family

can help more people

and do it faster

than anyone else.

This will be painful, though.

And it takes a lot

of dedication.

But if you want to improve your

quirk, this is the way to do it.

[TENYA]

I've raised Recipro's horsepower

and lowered fuel consumption

to the minimum!

Ten minutes!

[TENYA]

For ten minutes,

nobody can stop me!

[IZUKU]

Here's the preview!

The Class A team is being

driven into a corner

by Honenuki's flexible response.

The key to their recovery from

this dire situation is Iida's

new and improved Recipro Turbo,

and Todoroki's left side.

Burn bright, Todoroki.

You have to use that

power if you're serious

about becoming the hero

I know you want to be!

Next time:

"Match Conclusion."

It's gonna be

one intense finale.

Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
