05x08 - (D) Match 3 Conclusion

[bunniefuu]

[IZUKU] Classes -A and -B

from the hero course at UA high

are battling it out

against one another

in team combat training.

So far, each Class has

managed to score a win.

Class A started the

third round strong

with Todoroki's ice att*ck.

But the tables were turned

thanks to Honenuki's Quirk.

Now, the match is

starting to look like

it's going in the

Class B's favor. Maybe.

[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!

[TENYA]

Ten minutes!

For ten minutes,

nobody can stop me!

[HONENUKI]

Is he going to b*at me

with some new move

I've never seen?

[TENYA]

I can't control it completely.

[HONENUKI]

So fast!

[TENYA] But at this speed,

the trade-off is power.

Well. Fair enough.

I'm no match for this att*ck.

[TENYA pants]

[TENYA]

You're under arrest, villain!

[HONENUKI]

Sorry, I'm not one of those

stubborn heroes in training.

I won't keep fighting

when I'm at a disadvantage.

It's not the best idea

to leave Iida in the wind,

but I don't think

I can stop him.

Smarter to hurry and find

Tetsutetsu and the others

so I can help them.

[TENYA]

The ice has gone back to normal.

Is he planning a

surprise counterattack?

[TENYA] No, he should understand

now that that wouldn't work.

He probably left to

support his teammates.

[OCHACO]

Wow! That's our speedster!

Recipro Turbo, huh?

Using that, he's faster

than even Gran Torino.

Yeah, it's 'cause you

starting going "sh**t Style"

and using your kicks,

so Iida worked hard

to make sure he stood out.

I should ask if he has

any new pointers for me.

Um, you guys! Eyes on Ojiro!

He's trying for

an ordinary fist fight.

[SERO] It looks like

he's losing ground,

but Ojiro's gotten better

like the rest of us!

You got this!

[OJIRO]

Oh, man, I can't keep this up.

Don't you know you can't win

if you're just parrying?

[OJIRO] I don't even

have time to att*ck.

But I can't just keep blocking.

Those support items of his

would rip me to shreds.

Kaibara's gotten brutal.

[gasps]

Gotcha now!

Iida!

[TENYA]

I'll throw Spiral in jail!

Forgive my brief

absence as I do.

Help the others, Ojiro!

Mudman is probably

heading toward them!

I'll be back!

Yeah, you got it!

[OJIRO] His talking

gets faster, too. Wow.

[KAIBARA]

Let go of me!

I haven't gotten

to show off yet!

[TENYA]

Silence, fiend!

I won't let one

of your ilk boast!

[KAIBARA]

You let Honenuki go, didn't you?

Even though you saw

how much a pain he can be.

Why wouldn't you go

after him first?

Do you really think

it's smart to butt in

on a one-on-one fight

instead, Ingenium?!

[TENYA] This is what

my brother would've done,

so I'll act accordingly.

--[bars rattling]

--[thud]

[TENYA] If I compromised

my ideals in training,

I'd likely do so in

a real fight, as well.

You're a real stick in the mud.

[TENYA]

Yeah. I hear that often.

[yells]

Have a taste of "My Fist!"

[TODOROKI grunts]

[SATO]

Thanks to how resilient he is,

Testutetsu can move even

though he must be freezing.

I mean, it's not like his skin

is gonna rip off or anything.

So manly. I'll learn

from your example!

Blasting ice even

though it's useless

is something only an

idiot would keep doing.

[TETSUTETSU grunting]

I'll smash your defenses.

Nothin's gonna stop

my steel fist of justice!

Fine, then.

I'll use a wall of fire instead!

[TETSUTETSU grunts]

[TSUNOTORI]

Ouchies!

Shoji! Tsunotori's yours!

[SHOJI]

Right!

[TODOROKI]

Push him back!

Gain some distance!

[TETSUTETSU] You still don't get

why I'm your opponent, do you?

I thought it would be obvious!

Your Quirk has

zero effect on me.

[TODOROKI]

He's glowing from the heat?

Those flames a' yours

got my body burnin' red hot!

Let's go!

Do your best, Hot-Tetsu!

I've been trainin' for

somethin' just like this!

You ever spent time

inside an oven?

'Cause guess what!

[VLAD KING] Tetsutetsu has

Todoroki on the ropes

and won't let him escape!

Given their close proximity,

Todoroki is unable to use

any of his area att*cks!

[TETSUTETSU]

Half-Cold Half-Hot.

You won't even put

a scratch on me!

You get it yet?

I've forged my steel into

something even you can't dent.

By demolishing my limits!

[grunts]

[ENDEAVOR] Draw up all the heat

you can from inside your body!

And then take it

beyond that limit!

I know you can do this.

You're just not trying!

[TETSUTETSU]

Only thing to do now

is keep punchin'

till you're KO'd!

[TODOROKI growls]

[ENDEAVOR]

Know this.

There is a power inside

of you that goes beyond

what anyone else can wield.

[TODOROKI]

What he said to me.

Why am I remembering it now?

Damn it!

All you can do now is take it.

[TODOROKI]

No matter what...

Fire or ice...

[ENDEAVOR]

You'll follow my path.

And one day, your power

might even surpass mine!

[IZUKU]

It's yours!

Your Quirk, not his!

[TODOROKI]

Get back.

[TETSUTETSU]

Whoa, that's hot!

[TODOROKI]

More.

More!

Well, there goes the camera.

[TODOROKI] I can raise

the temperature higher.

Go further.

Burn myself if I have to!

[TODOROKI] In order to

become who I want to be!

[ALL MIGHT]

Young Todoroki...

[ALL MIGHT]

With Endeavor's firepower...

[TETSUTETSU]

It's too much.

Can't get close.

That firepower is crazy!

I get ya, Todoroki!

I'm holding all this heat inside

a' me, same as you are!

I know.

It's gotta be hard

on you, too, right?

I don't think you'll be able

to keep it up for long.

In which case,

I won't back down!

[TETSUTETSU] Endurance

contests are my specialty!

[TETSUTETSU]

I'm gonna go beyond!

You're wrong.

Give up before I have

to show you what I can do.

If you're not willing

to risk everything

during training,

then you'll never do it

in a real fight either.

Our powers and limits

are there to be surpassed!

It's time for you to shut up.

[TSUNOTORI] I'm pretty far away

but I can still feel that!

[gasps]

[TSUNOTORI] I gotta hurry up

and get back to our steely boy.

[TSUNOTORI]

Sorry, Tentacole!

I never look at the

octopuses at the aquarium.

They are not cute.

[SHOJI] I'm used to people

being scared of me.

Then don't take it

personal, kay?

I'm tryna help us win!

[SHOJI]

Bring it on!

Thunder Horn!

[SHOJI]

Octoblow!

[SHOJI yells]

[yells]

[SHOJI]

You're--

--done!

[SHOJI]

You saved me. Ojiro!

Twirling Tail Dance!

[TSUNOTORI yelps]

You may be good

with those horns,

but they're no help to you

if you can't sh**t them!

This is how you catch me?

It's so darn ordinary!

[SHOJI]

I'll take her to the jail.

You go support Todor--

Him again!

[HONENUKI] I'll be taking

my teammate back now.

If you didn't know,

our class is pretty tight.

Keep struggling. Your hold

on her will only get looser.

[grunts] You bastard!

Fist of the Tail,

Swamp Smack Spin!

[SHOJI]

Thanks for that.

[OJIRO]

Likewise.

[HONENUKI]

How'd he use so much force?

[TSUNOTORI]

You gotta tell me

before you do something

like that, Honenuki!

[TSUNOTORI growls]

I won't let you go!

It's cool, I'm not

worried about that.

[SHOJI]

Ojiro!

[TSUNOTORI] With the power

of these four horns,

I'll send you straight

to the slammer!

Doesn't matter how

she got him inside.

If he's behind bars,

then he's out.

Right now, it's one-to-one.

[TETSUTETSU]

What's wrong?

Todoroki? Huh?

You're getting slow!

[TODOROKI]

I could say the same about you.

[TODOROKI] I'm getting dizzy.

My movements are imprecise.

Sloppy. If I wanna

cool myself down,

I'll have to get him

to back off first.

[ENDEAVOR]

Go beyond that limit!

[HONENUKI]

Can't let you melt my classmate.

Oh, hey. What's up?

[TODOROKI]

Crap, I'm gonna pass out.

[HONENUKI]

Now harden.

[TENYA]

I didn't miss this time,

Mudman!

[TENYA]

So hot!

[TETSUTETSU]

Bastard.

I won't let you get away.

[STAIN] Shouldn't you be

worried about saving that guy?

[TENSEI]

The coolest person you can be

is someone who helps others.

If you see a lost kid,

help them find their way home.

[TENYA]

I'll return for you, villain!

[TENYA]

My priority is rescue.

[HONENUKI] I'm losing

consciousness after one hit.

Even though he said he didn't

have control at that speed.

It was a mistake

leaving Iida for later.

Man, does this mean we lost?

If I black out,

the things I softened

will go back to normal.

I couldn't even leave behind

something to help

like Yaoyorozu did.

I don't feel

frustrated or anything.

We'll lose fair and square.

[HONENUKI] But I don't

want my friends to fail

just because I messed up!

One more chance.

Tetsutetsu! Quickly! Push this!

[TETSUTETSU growls, yells]

[TENYA gasps]

This is a fight.

[VLAD KING]

The four of them are down!

But they aren't out

until they're in jail!

What'll happen in

the final moments?

[TENYA] My left arm

and leg are trapped.

It's too much.

I don't have enough

strength to break out!

Todoroki. Apologies.

If only I'd been

a little better.

Just one step faster

getting us out of here.

[VLAD KING] Iida can't

escape a little building

that fell on top of him?

It looks to me like

the struggle with Kaibara

had a big impact on him! Ha!

He fought back the entire time,

and boy, did it pay off!

Good job, Kaibara!

You're definitely the

MVP of this round!

[KAMINARI]

The one-sided commentary

is somehow getting worse.

Both Class A and Class B

have one person in their jails.

And almost everyone

is down for the count.

Only two more left.

[SHOJI gasps]

[TENYA]

Todoroki!

[TSUNOTORI] I can't let

Shoji nab my pals!

We'd be done for sure!

So, what should I do?

I couldn't b*at Shoji even with

all four a' my horns free.

I definitely wouldn't

be able to fight him

and protect my teammates.

If I put Todoroki in prison,

then we'll take the lead.

But carrying all three of

'em is weighing me down.

At this rate, I'll be caught

before I make it to the jail.

If I blow this, we lose.

[SHOJI]

Give him back!

[TSUNOTORI]

That's it!

[SHOJI]

No!

[TSUNOTORI]

I'll go higher than he can reach

and wait this sucker out.

That way, even if we don't win,

we technically won't lose!

[TSUNOTORI]

Sorry, Tentacole!

I won't be the reason

we have to go crawlin'

back home as failures.

[SATO] Wait. She took

everyone into the sky?

Aw, man. Shoji can't

fly with his Quirk.

Huh! She's just running away.

So, Deku.

What do you think

her plan is now?

It may seem strange,

but she's taking the safe route.

If she left her teammates

behind to escape,

then Shoji could

put them in jail.

But why take Todoroki?

[IZUKU] If he comes to, he could

att*ck with flames or ice

even in the sky.

This way, she can

keep him knocked out.

Or at least send him flying

if he does wake up.

It's like an insurance policy.

But that doesn't make any sense!

The whole point is to throw

the other team in training jail!

[IZUKU] They won't win,

but they won't lose.

[OCHACO]

Oh, no! The timer!

[buzzer blares]

[VLAD KING]

Twenty minutes have passed!

The third match is over!

Each team put one person away,

so we've got ourselves a draw!

Aw, man, that's

ridiculously unsatisfying!

In an actual encounter,

running away and awaiting rescue

can often be

a reasonable option.

[BOTH sigh]

[OCHACO]

Poor Iida. He must be so upset.

[IZUKU]

Yeah, but...

[IZUKU]

He was so awesome.

[VLAD KING] Since there are

a number of round three students

unconscious, we can review

their performances later!

Get ready for the fourth match!

[RECOVERY GIRL]

Smooch.

[TODOROKI gasps]

Great, you're awake!

That's a good patient.

Here, you should eat

this protein bar.

Ojiro ate his and went back out.

Damn, Todoroki!

The match was a draw,

but I feel like I lost

the head-to-head fight!

That heat was insanity!

Let's do it again!

[RECOVERY GIRL]

Ah! So loud.

[TODOROKI]

A draw.

[TENYA] If only I'd been faster,

we'd have claimed victory.

[TODOROKI]

Iida.

It's obvious that

I'm still too slow.

Honenuki's style

was so flexible.

And I just failed to react.

You saved me,

though, didn't you?

I seem to remember that.

And anyway,

when it comes to mistakes,

I made the biggest one.

[HONENUKI] If you'd been

coldhearted and used fire,

we wouldn't have been

able to trap you.

[TODOROKI] It's become a habit

to use ice as my opening move.

Like it's just

ingrained in my body.

You are fast enough.

I'm the one who's slow.

And because of that weakness,

I caused you and

the team to worry.

I wanna be a hero who brings

people peace of mind.

[TENYA]

No!

I would never consider

you unrelia-- Ah!

I will run anywhere, to anyone

who needs my assistance.

That's my conviction

as Ingenium's successor.

[door opens]

[HONENUKI] Since we're talkin'

about how we need to upgrade,

I'll point out I also

still have work to do.

So I hope you'll fight me again.

[BOTH]

Of course.

[RECOVERY GIRL]

If you boys are better,

then why are you still here?!

This is no place for chitchat!

[TENYA]

Right! Please excuse us!

[MONOMA] Poor babies, your backs

are up against the wall!

Class A and B both have one win!

Lose this round,

and there's no way you can

say you're better than us.

[cackles]

[KAMINARI]

Comes and goes in waves, huh?

Oh, you've no idea how much

I've been looking forward

to this fantastic match up.

Why, you ask?

Because our beloved

Tokage's in it.

If I were Bakugo, I'd be

pretty worried about now.

[TOKAGE]

All right, let's go.

[MONOMA]

Yes! Setsuna Tokage!

The other student in Class B who

got in through recommendations!

She can be a real

nasty piece of work.

[IZUKU]

Kacchan!

Wait. Bad idea.

Let's talk about this, okay?

[SATO] Yeah. You're

not serious, right?

[KATSUKI]

Shut up.

[KATSUKI]

Just watch me, Deku!

[VLAD KING] We'll start when

everyone is in position!

Fourth match.

Prepare for battle!

[IZUKU]

Here's the preview!

Class A heads into the

fourth match with one win,

one loss, and one draw.

Luckily we've got

a solid team of Jiro, Sero,

Sato, and Kacchan.

Class B has Tokage,

a wild card, though.

Be careful, guys.

There's probably

some kind of trap.

Next time: "Early Bird!"

Wait, is something different

about Kacchan's fighting style?

Did he change? No way!

Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
