02x22 - (D) Yaoyorozu: Rising

[bunniefuu]

[buzzer blares]

[ANNOUNCER A]

Team Asui and Tokoyami.

Practical Exam: Ready...

Go!

[ECTOPLASM] Maybe you didn't

understand, but we teachers

are trying to crush you

with everything we've got.

No holding back.

[ECTOPLASM]

Steel your nerves...

...and show me your resolve.

Get her.

Dark Shadow!

[TSUYU]

Ribbit!

Asui. Your turn!

Got you, Tokoyami!

[TOKOYAMI grunts]

I'm glad we made

a plan beforehand.

Yes.

Nice!

An escape only the two

of them could pull off!

[RECOVERY GIRL]

That's good communication.

They're talking to each other.

It may not seem like much,

but it's important.

I don't just mean

having a sidekick

or teammate that you know

you match well with.

Real heroes need to be able

to communicate with anyone.

Um, so...

We were talking about these

finals and how each student

is supposed to be

facing their weaknesses.

That's right.

Okay, so, what do

Tokoyami and Asui

have to work on? I'm

having trouble seeing how

Mr. Ectoplasm's Quirk is a

bad match-up against theirs.

Oh?

Well, it's not good...

for Tokoyami, at least.

Huh? Why do you say that?

[RECOVERY GIRL]

Keep watching, you'll see.

[ECTOPLASM] So you've

chosen to avoid a fight.

Good luck.

[PRESENT MIC]

Ectoplasm. His Quirk: Clones!

He shoots weird

ectoplasm from his mouth

and turns it into

copies of himself.

He's able to produce

at one time.

Though, apparently, after

about his second or third

song at karaoke, that

number goes up to !

[DARK SHADOW]

Now!

[DARK SHADOW grunts]

[TSUYU]

Gotcha!

Thanks!

[DARK SHADOW grunts]

Dark Shadow!

[DARK SHADOW grunts]

There's no end to them!

Let's keep moving.

[gasps]

[RECOVERY GIRL]

Tokoyami is quick and can attack

from afar, allowing him

to keep his distance.

Those are all strengths.

But, looking at

that another way,

it means he's weak

at close range.

Wow, I never thought about

his powers like that.

And Mr. Ectoplasm's

clones can appear

anywhere unexpectedly.

On the other hand, there's Asui.

A stellar student with

no clear weaknesses.

She can provide

support to her ally,

as powerful as he may be.

But she's important

in another way, too.

Her level-headedness

and ability

to provide emotional support

are the key to them passing.

Emotional support, huh?

[IZUKU]

Now that I think about it,

having her around

during the USJ attack

really helped us stay focused.

I'm rooting for you,

Asui and Tokoyami.

Beat him!

[TOKOYAMI]

That was clone number .

Tokoyami, look. It's the goal.

Which means that's probably

his real body down there.

[ECTOPLASM] Excellent job

getting past the others.

But tell me--what will

you do against this?

[ECTOPLASM]

Just try to escape.

Giant Bite Detention!

[BOTH gasp]

[ECTOPLASM] I can't put

out more clones now.

But as long as I

have you captured,

this one is all I need.

Asui! Look out!

[BOTH gasp]

[ECTOPLASM] Only I can

get rid of this behemoth.

So what is your plan?

This Quirk is way too powerful.

[DARK SHADOW]

Hey, so am I.

Dark Shadow.

You just have to

get through that gate!

[DARK SHADOW]

I'm on it!

[yells]

[DARK SHADOW]

Dammit!

I don't think he has

a chance against a real pro.

[TSUYU]

Well, if he can reach him,

we do have a chance.

Call Dark Shadow back.

I have something

for you to give him.

Asui, what do you mean?

[TSUYU]

Please... Don't watch me.

Mr. Ectoplasm will notice.

And besides, it's...

...really gross

to see me do this.

[TOKOYAMI gasps]

[ECTOPLASM]

Will you keep this up until

time runs out, little bird?

What I want to see is

a student who can do away

with an adversary,

no matter what!

[TOKOYAMI]

Dark Shadow!

Calm down. We've got this.

[TSUYU] Because Tokoyami

and Dark Shadow are heroes!

[DARK SHADOW yells]

[DARK SHADOW yells]

[TSUYU] I figured this was

the only way we could win

if he managed to

capture us somehow.

So I swallowed the cuffs.

My Quirk lets me take things

in and out of my stomach.

[ECTOPLASM]

How unexpected.

[OCHACO]

Whoa, they legcuffed him!

Then they passed!

They figured out a way to do it!

Dark Shadow and Frog together--

what a great team!

They're so smart!

[ANNOUNCER A]

Team Asui and Tokoyami

have passed the final!

[ECTOPLASM]

That was wonderfully clever.

I must commend you both.

I'm truly humbled, sir.

Ribbit, ribbit.

It was all thanks to me.

So Tokoyami and Asui

passed their exam.

I'm not surprised.

[TENYA] We're running

out of places to stand.

Mr. Power Loader can do this?

What now, Class Rep?

[TENYA] The topography gives

our opponent the advantage.

In order to keep injuries

to a minimum and defeat him,

I think our best choice

right now is to go and find

a hero who is better

suited to take him on.

So in other words,

we should run.

One thing.

[OJIRO] There are traps

between us and the gate.

Not to mention we have no

idea where Mr. Power Loader

will attack next.

[TENYA]

We can still make it.

As long as we work together.

All right!

[TENYA]

Fusion!

I can only imagine how

stupid we look right now.

[TENYA]

Here we go, Ojiro! Reciproburst!

[OJIRO] We're outrunning

the traps he set.

If we keep this up...

[POWER LOADER]

Uh-uh-uh. Not so fast.

Not good!

[OJIRO yelps]

We're gonna fall!

[TENYA] Find the best

solution, Tenya! Come on!

[TENYA] Quick, wrap your

tail around my leg!

[TENYA grunts]

Recipro... Extend!

[POWER LOADER]

I've got you!

[ANNOUNCER A]

Team Iida and Ojiro

have passed the final.

Nice one, man!

[POWER LOADER]

Heh.

It was kind of a risky move, but

it put a quick end to the match.

And, you managed to get

your friend out of the ring

without getting

yourself injured.

All in all, not bad.

You pass. Congrats.

[TENYA]

Thank you very much.

They're both amazing!

I promise I will strive

to be the perfect hero.

[IZUKU]

Iida... You're so cool!

[TENYA]

Also, I'm completely stuck.

[IZUKU]

Uh, well. Sometimes at least.

[TODOROKI]

It's our turn now.

Let's go.

Yaoyorozu.

[gasps]

What's wrong, are you nervous?

Oh. No.

It's okay.

With our opponent,

I don't blame you.

But, I have a plan

in mind for us.

Uh--

[buzzer sounds]

[ANNOUNCER A]

Team Todoroki and Yaoyorozu.

Practical Exam.

Ready, go!

[TODOROKI]

Yaoyorozu.

Listen, I want you to keep

making small objects.

When you stop being able to,

it means Mr. Aizawa's close by.

[PRESENT MIC]

And, I'm back!

That's Class -A's

homeroom teacher,

Shota Aizawa.

He can erase the Quirks

of whoever he sees,

but the effect ends

when he blinks.

[TODOROKI] Our success will

depend on which one of us

finds the other first. Once we

spot him, I'll draw him to me.

Then you can run

to the escape gate

and win this thing for us.

Just stay close

to me until then.

C'mon. Hurry up and

start making things.

Sure. No problem.

[TODOROKI]

Um.

I guess those work okay,

but what are they?

Oh, these, things?

They're just

Russian nesting dolls.

[TODOROKI]

Right.

Let me know if you notice your

Quirk acting strangely at all.

[YAOYOROZU] I'd expect nothing

less from you, Todoroki.

[TODOROKI]

What do you mean?

[YAOYOROZU] You were able

to come up with a plan

to use against

Mr. Aizawa so quickly.

You knew exactly what was

best as soon as we started.

[TODOROKI]

This is nothing.

[YAOYOROZU]

No. You're wrong.

[YAOYOROZU] As students

who got into UA through

recommendations, we started

from the same place.

But in terms of the practical

skills that a hero needs,

I haven't really managed to do

anything that stands out.

During the cavalry battle,

I just followed your orders.

And then when it was

my turn to fight,

I failed before

I could do anything.

[gasps]

Yaoyorozu. You're not

making those dolls!

[YAOYOROZU gasps]

--[TODOROKI] He's coming!

--I'm sorry!

[AIZAWA] If you know I'm here,

then you should be acting.

I would suggest that

you prioritize evasion

since I've taken your

power from you.

Yaoyorozu. Go!

[gasps]

Is that what your plan is?

[grunts]

[AIZAWA]

Then this will be simple.

I was always going

to catch you first

since you're the team's offense.

[TODOROKI]

You think you've caught me?

This is nothing.

I can burn or freeze these

restraints in an instant.

[AIZAWA]

Do whatever you want.

Just be careful where you land.

[TODOROKI]

Caltrops? This is your strategy?

You pretending to be

some kind of ninja?

[AIZAWA] This is very different

from when you faced

the Hero k*ller.

I know about your Quirks

and what you can do.

I'm perfectly prepared

to defeat you both.

Your plan places most

of the burden on yourself.

It's nice you tried to be

considerate to the girl,

but maybe you

should have actually

talked this over with her.

[TODOROKI]

Talked it over?

[panting]

[YAOYOROZU] How much farther

until I'm at the gate?

Is there a shorter

route I should take?

I-Is Todoroki okay?

Is this right?

Should I take the time

and make something

to help me go faster?

Can I make it?

Will I be able to pass this way?

Wait. Where am I running to?

Can I do this? Or am I

going to fail us?

[AIZAWA] She obviously

lost her confidence

after the sports festival.

[gasps]

[YAOYOROZU]

Mr. Aizawa!

Does that mean

Todoroki's been--?

No!

[AIZAWA] I'm gonna hit

you where it hurts!

Let's see which

of us is stronger!

[YAOYOROZU] I don't have a

chance against my own teacher.

What? My Quirk's not erased.

Creation!

[YAOYOROZU]

I'm so sorry, Todoroki!

[AIZAWA]

Changing direction?

She let him make

all the decisions.

Comparing herself to Todoroki,

she decided that he was

the superior student.

For better or for worse,

he never seems to hesitate much.

And she's lost her ability

to trust in her own

instincts and reactions.

Emotionally, she's still

a child of .

I'd like to help her

regain her confidence.

But that's not my job right now.

[AIZAWA]

Maybe you should have actually

talked this over with her.

[TODOROKI]

Now that I think about it,

she looked like she

had something to say.

[YAOYOROZU panting]

[YAOYOROZU]

Todoroki! Todoroki!

[TODOROKI]

Yaoyorozu!

I'm sorry I came back.

I couldn't--

[TODOROKI]

Hey! Watch it!

Mr. Aizawa's coming!

[gasps]

[YAOYOROZU]

Should I save Todoroki?

Or run? What's the right answer?

What should I do?

Yaoyorozu. You've got

a plan, don't you?

Sorry, I should've asked before,

and not told you what to do.

But you have an idea, right?

Your plan didn't work,

so there's no way

mine will be any good.

We're both gonna fail.

Spit it out already!

I'm saying that you're

the one who's better

at this kinda stuff, not me!

When we were voting

for class rep,

you had two votes, remember?

One of those votes was mine!

Because I thought you would be

best at leading our class!

[YAOYOROZU]

I'm pathetic, but maybe...

[AIZAWA]

Giving up?

[YAOYOROZU]

Not yet.

Todoroki, close your eyes!

What are these?

[AIZAWA]

Flash grenades?

You're right. I have an idea.

A plan for us to win!

This final exam isn't over.

We can still beat Mr. Aizawa!

So, you've got a strategy.

Yes.

I've been thinking about

it from the beginning.

His weakness.

All right, just tell

me what to do.

[gasps]

[AIZAWA]

As a result of my injuries.

I can't use my Quirk

for as long,

and I have to rest more

in between erasures.

If she chose her attack

because she noticed that,

she's pretty smart.

Yaoyorozu!

[TODOROKI]

Fire!

Crap. He erased it!

Todoroki. We have to hide.

Together!

Since he was injured, his

Quirk has become unstable!

[TODOROKI] Because of what

happened at the USJ?

So, we're going to exploit that.

Not yet.

For now, we just need to get

out of his field of vision.

It's all a matter of timing.

We're going to pass this final.

Timing?

How is getting out of his sight

gonna help us with that?

He can still take our

Quirks whenever he sees us.

[YAOYOROZU]

Just do as I tell you.

Keep checking to see if you

can use your ice power, okay?

Not fast enough, kids!

[YAOYOROZU] He's wrong

to think he'll be able to

keep our powers erased

the whole time.

There will definitely

be a single moment...

A brief interval when

Mr. Aizawa blinks

before he can use

his Quirk again.

[TODOROKI]

This is it.

[YAOYOROZU]

And I'll be counting on you

in that moment to attack.

Like you did at

the sports festival.

A giant ice wall!

[AIZAWA]

Todoroki's biggest move.

They were waiting for this.

[AIZAWA] They took advantage

of their opponent.

Hit me where it hurts.

[TODOROKI] I blocked him

with the wall the moment

my Quirk came back.

We can use our powers again.

So can you tell me the

rest of your plan now?

Is that Aizawa's

scarf you're making?

It is.

I don't know the

material it's made of

or precisely how

it's constructed,

so it's not exactly the same.

But I created my own version

with a special material

woven into it.

Since this is

a residential area,

we must keep collateral

damage to a minimum.

And he moves his own

restraining bonds so quickly.

It makes it difficult

to catch him.

So, you see, here is my plan.

[OCHACO] Huh, why isn't

Mr. Aizawa going after them?

[IZUKU]

He might have overused his eyes.

[YAOYOROZU]

What do you think, Todoroki?

I believe this has the

highest chance of success.

Or, at least, it's better

than trying to run.

[YAOYOROZU sighs]

[YAOYOROZU]

We'll only get one chance.

So is this all right with you?

Yeah. No complaints here.

[AIZAWA]

The escape gate is behind me.

It'll be better to watch

the approach from here

than to try and chase them.

[YAOYOROZU]

I have a plan for us to win!

We can still beat Mr. Aizawa!

Let's see it.

Disguises.

I can't use my Quirk

if I can't see them.

But they're at

a disadvantage, too!

[AIZAWA] The upper halves

were just mannequins!

[YAOYOROZU]

Now, I just have to launch it.

[YAOYOROZU gasps]

[AIZAWA]

A catapult?

[AIZAWA]

It's a diversion!

Todoroki! Blast your flames now!

[TODOROKI grunts]

[AIZAWA]

He's not aiming for me. Why not?

[YAOYOROZU] I'm not sure

we have a chance of beating

you in a full battle,

Mr, Aizawa, but that's okay.

[YAOYOROZU]

Nitinol alloy.

Have you heard of it?

When heated, it returns to its

original shape in an instant.

It's a metal with shape memory!

[AIZAWA]

Well, isn't that impressive.

[TODOROKI] It went exactly

according to your plan.

It was almost a

little too smooth.

Honestly, it shouldn't

have worked out.

When I was about to

trigger the catapult,

I made a big mistake.

Mr. Aizawa noticed,

but still jumped away.

Even though he could

have stopped me easily.

I think he allowed

himself to be captured

by my plan on purpose.

I was just trying to see

what Todoroki would do.

You were in my sights,

but he still

had a cloth over him, remember?

I thought he'd try to freeze me.

So I decided it would be

best for me to back off.

In doing so, it looks

like I ended up

playing right into your hands.

[sighs] It really was

just a matter of timing,

like you said, huh?

Thanks, teammate.

[whimpers]

[TODOROKI]

What's wrong? Do you feel sick?

[YAOYOROZU]

No. It's nothing, really!

If you feel nauseous,

there's a pressure point

--you can press on--

--[YAOYOROZU] No, I told you,

[YAOYOROZU]

I'm fine.

[AIZAWA sighs]

[RECOVERY GIRL]

My, my.

Turns out that man's

a big softie after all.

[buzzer blares]

[ANNOUNCER A]

Team Todoroki and Yaoyorozu

have passed the final exam!

[IZUKU] The fifth match

is currently in progress.

Team Uraraka and Aoyama

against Thirteen.

It's almost over.

Ah! Oh, man, but we

were so close!

[THIRTEEN] There's no way I'll

let you get away that easily!

[OCHACO]

It's getting even stronger

the closer Thirteen gets!

[THIRTEEN]

I'm not great at combat,

but I am excellent at capturing.

It looks like escaping

from Thirteen's

Black Hole Quirk is

next to impossible.

[IZUKU]

They need a plan to break free.

Ah! I guess you

could say this Quirk

really sucks, doesn't it?

Are you serious right now?

We're in big trouble here!

My costume's not just chic.

[OCHACO]

Huh?

[AOYAMA] It channels blasts

from my belly button

which means...

You've got nothing to

worry about, mademoiselle!

[THIRTEEN]

I'll suck up your laser, too!

[AOYAMA yelps]

[THIRTEEN] And break it down

to a molecular level!

This is no joke.

What is your problem?

I have no flaws!

[OCHACO]

This isn't good. We're trapped.

Gotta figure out how

to get outta this!

Okay. Come on!

What would Deku do

at a time like this?

[AOYAMA]

Hey.

Not right now, I'm thinking.

About Izuku Midoriya?

Ah, how sweet.

Huh?

[AOYAMA]

Is it... because you like him?

[IZUKU] Here's the preview!

The finals continue!

Uraraka and Aoyama

against Thirteen.

Kaminari and Ashido

against the principal.

Koda and Jiro against

Present Mic and Shoji

and Hakagure against Snipe!

Everyone's giving it their

all to become heroes!

[IZUKU sniffles] Sorry, I'm

just really moved right now.

[OCHACO]

Hey, Deku?

[IZUKU]

What's up, Uraraka?

[OCHACO] Um, I know you're

having a moment and all,

but Mineta's running away!

[IZUKU] Next time:

"Stripping the Varnish"!

[OCHACO] Aw, Sero goes

night-night on someone's lap.

[IZUKU]

Go beyond!

[IZUKU, OCHACO]

Plus Ultra!
