My moves!
While I was spending my time
uselessly at my internship...
Again...
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.
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!
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
"Katsuki Bakugo: Origin"
Team Midoriya and Bakugo, practical exam.
Ready, go!
I have to tell him...
Because Kacchan and I are a team...
We have to talk properly...
K-Kacchan, for this exam, the teacher
is the villain, and we're the heroes,
so we need to keep in mind the villain's
combat ability and choose to either fight or run,
but in our case, the villain is All Might,
and fighting against him is dangerous--
I think it's a really bad idea, anyway--
Wait, Kacchan!
Stop following me!
I-If we keep going straight,
All Might will probably be waiting for us.
We should take a detour--
Why should we run away?
It'd definitely be better if we beat him up!
W-We should avoid combat
if we can no matter what!
We'll toy with him until it's almost over,
and then once he's tired out,
I'll beat him up!
It really is hard for me to deal with Kacchan...
But I can't think about that right now.
Who do you think All Might is?
Even with the handicap,
you can't win against him!
Don't say another word...
Just because things are going better
for you doesn't mean you should talk.
It's pissing me off.
Oh, dear, their teamwork is nonexistent...
Do they realize who they're up against?
Now...
I am going!
Wait, Kacchan!
I'm saying this so we can pass the test!
Listen, Kacchan!
I told you, your power isn't needed to pass--
Stop yelling!
That's why we can never
have a real conversation!
Who gives a damn about damaging the city?
What... What is this...
What... is this...
...this sense of intimidation?!
If you think of this as an exam,
you'll be sorry.
I am a villain, heroes.
Come at me with everything you've got!
We can't take him head on. Let's run!
Don't tell me what to do!
Kacchan!
Stun Grenade!
"Come at me" you said, All Might?
Even if you didn't say anything,
I was gonna do that...
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
Normally, if you grab someone's face,
they reflexively try to move your hand.
This kid is seriously only thinking
about defeating me, huh?
With such weak consecutive hits,
it just stings, though.
And...
You're not off the hook
either, Young Midoriya.
Are you leaving your teammate
and running away?
Why am I reminded of the hero k*ller?!
Whoops! That's no good.
Move!
Kaccha--
One wants to defeat All Might.
The other only thinks of running.
The latter probably admires him too much.
To Izuku Midoriya, All Might is like a god.
On the other hand, I don't
know much about this boy,
but from the sports festival and his grades,
he appears to have amazing combat sense.
I wonder why he's in such a hurry...
Kacchan!
Move.
I told you, there's no way you
can win facing him head on!
Shut up. I'll win.
That's what it means to be a hero!
Wow!
"TV"
All Might really is cool!
Then it's even more important to avoid--
Let go! Don't touch me!
For now, here's a present for
the one who wants to run away!
Kacchan!
Look! Did you see that just now?
"Oshima Electronics"
Look! Did you see that just now?
"Oshima Electronics"
All Might really is cool, isn't he?
You think he'd totally
lose four-on-one, right?
But look!
See? Right here!
He dodges like this, and then a punch!
Or so he wants you to think, and then--
See? He won!
No matter how much trouble he's in,
he always wins in the end!
You're a jerk...
But... yeah...
No matter what, you always...
...make sure you are the winner.
I admired you for that!
I know why you're so angry.
It's because of Young Midoriya's
sudden improvement, right?
But you know,
there's no way Level power and Level
power can improve at the same rate.
There's so much wasted potential in you.
Do you understand?
You do, right?
You still have so much room to grow!
But I'm not talking about power--
Shut up, All Might...
If I have to get help from that scum,
then I'd rather lose...
I see...
Don't regret this.
Damn it...!
Don't you say that you'd rather lose!
I didn't think Young Midoriya would come...
I let my guard down.
But man, these are heavy...
Bastard, put me down!
It's fine.
I said, put me down!
Kacchan, I really can't think of a way to beat
All Might, or a way to make a clean escape.
Huh?!
Before you give up, at least try using me!
Don't say that you're okay losing!
You're you because you never
give up on winning, right?
Hey, you're just a first grader!
You better apologize if you bump
into someone older than you!
We're gonna tell Yocchan!
Yocchan's super strong, you know!
Y-You better remember this tomorrow!
I didn't bump into you guys.
You guys bumped into me.
Wow, Kacchan!
You fought against two
fourth graders and won!
The most amazing hero
always wins in the end!
"...always wins in the end."
You've been saying that since we were kids.
How can you give up?
Kacchan...?
I won't say it again, damn nerd...
Against that crazy speed, no matter how you
run and hide, you won't be able to avoid fighting.
But we don't have a chance
in a fight. Not against All Might--
Shut up, bastard! I'll k*ll you!
He won't even budge with half-assed power.
I figured that out earlier
with those consecutive hits.
So...
Where is Young Midoriya?
Since he hid, could it mean
he's heading for the escape gate?
Where are you looking?
They were behind me, huh?
You're pissing me off!
Who'd work... with someone like you...?
...like you!
Deku!
So, we give him everything
we've got at point-blank range.
Our only option is to inflict damage
and then put some distance between us.
I see!
sh**t!
I'm sorry, All Might!
My shoulder...!
Kacchan, you were using something like this?
Run, idiot!
Oh, right!
Don't you say that you'd rather lose!
Ow... They got me.
A compromise between
running away and fighting.
That's pretty good for an impromptu plan.
They also limited damage to the city
by hitting places I'd already demolished.
I think I taught that to them
at the first combat training.
Yeah. Both of them are actually pretty clever.
But they fall apart in a second
when it comes to each other.
Envy, hate, pursuit.
Awe, rejection, pride.
From what I've heard,
they both have so many different feelings about
each other piled up one on top of the other
that they don't know how to interact anymore.
It's not something that can
be resolved anytime soon,
but I'm sure their cooperation here will one day
be a big step for them in the future.
Now...
Your teacher's gonna do his best!
Almost there...
Almost at the escape gate!
"Do your best!!"
It seems cuter than it needs to be,
but as long as one of us
gets through, then we pass!
Damn, he sent that blast from where we
were in the middle all the way to the gate?
What the hell?
It doesn't look like All Might's chasing us.
Don't tell me we knocked him out...?
Bastard, didn't you keep saying there
was no way we'd beat him, you idiot?!
There's no way he was
knocked out by that, scum!
The next time he catches up, it'll be
my turn to blow him away with my gauntlet!
Yes, yes. And then?
What're you surprised about?
He's too fast...
Even like this, because of these weights,
I'm nowhere near my top speed.
Now, die, heroes!
Kacchan!
Who do you think you're talking to?!
That's wonderful, boys!
You cooperated--however
reluctantly--and faced me!
However, you two--
That was a prerequisite for this exam!
Overwhelming speed...
His stamina and power
are also overwhelming...
It's simply... simply power.
Facing off against him,
I'm reminded of that again.
That's right.
This man is the highest wall in the world.
The greatest hero!
Damn it...
What kind of face is that, Young Midoriya?
Getting away from me with
your maximum firepower
and then getting through the escape gate.
That appears to have been you boys' answer,
but now that I've destroyed
Young Bakugo's gauntlets,
you've lost that maximum firepower.
It's over.
Shut up...
Oww...!
I'm gonna send you flying!
--I don't like it, but with what we've got
right now, this is the only way to win!
--Hey, wait! Don't tell me--
--I don't like it, but with what we've got
right now, this is the only way to win!
Die...!
Die?
Are you serious, Kacchan?!
But right now, while All Might
is in the air, the goal is...
New Hampshire Smash!
Damn it!
Come now, you're being naïve, heroes!
The gauntlets were so I could use
maximum firepower with no risk!
I was so stupid...
There's no way I could beat you
without taking any risks!
That huge blast he used at the sports festival!
Twice...!
Go! Deku, hurry!
Earlier, my back was...
I can still move more than you,
with your cobbled-together power!
Make yourself useful, damn scum!
I'll move forward even if it hurts...
If I head toward the gate, then All Might
will probably try to block me...
Kacchan should be able
to take advantage of that...
Go to sleep, Young Bakugo.
Sorry, but as a teacher, I'm a little traumatized
when you destroy your own body to fight.
Hurry up... go... damn nerd...!
I break... and break myself...
Even if it means twisting myself,
I'll win the way I choose...
I won't accept that I can't
even beat you like that...
No way!
Kacchan!
Whoops, I won't let you!
It's the times when you're scared or worried
that you should deal with smiling!
Please move, All Might!
Smash...!
I won't--
He's unconscious...
Sorry, Kacchan.
This is who I am...
Jeez, he could've passed by
going through the gate by himself.
He hit me with everything he had, huh?
That's right. That's how you
were from the beginning.
You can't help but save
those who need rescuing.
And at times like that,
there isn't a wall that can stop you.
That's right. That's the kind of
person you've always been.
"Do your best!!"
That's right. That's the kind of
person you've always been.
"Good job!!"
That's right. That's the kind of
person you've always been.
Team Midoriya and Bakugo have passed!
All matches for Class -A's
practical exams have been completed!
Kiss...!
Th-Thank you very much, Recovery Girl...
All Might, you really don't know
how to hold back, do you?
If you'd hit any harder, you would've
done permanent damage!
Especially Midoriya's back.
I was barely able to heal it!
Bakugo probably won't
wake up for a while.
For now, the two of you should rest here.
Yes, ma'am.
You've gotten so strong since I first met you
that I can hardly recognize you, Young Midoriya.
And this young man, too...
Young Bakugo!
Because you were able to
smile in the face of a wall!
That's right. You two can
still become much stronger!
A lot of things happened.
Some learned their own weakness
and moved a step forward...
Some were taught what
is necessary for a hero...
Some were thwarted by high walls...
Some learned of their own powerlessness...
Some moved forward toward a new goal...
With these bittersweet feelings,
our final exams ended.
Are you curious, Tomura Shigaraki...
...about that boy, Izuku Midoriya?
Shigaraki...
You all have been the talk of
the town for the past few days.
I hear you're starting something big--
And? Who are they?
So it's you, huh?
I saw a picture of you,
but you look gross in person...
Wow, the hand guy!
You're friends with Mr. Stainy, right? Right?
Let me join, too! The League of Villains!
They start moving a third time.
Every time we drive them back,
they come back stronger.
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.
Here's the preview!
Someone appeared before me when
I went to the mall with everyone...
Tell me...
Tomura Shigaraki!
What's the difference between
me and the hero k*ller?
Aren't we doing the same thing?
But almost everyone is looking
at him rather than me.
Why is that, Midoriya?
Next time, "Encounter."
Oh, I get it.
Everything's All Might's fault.
"Next time: Encounter"
Go beyond!
"Next time: Encounter"
Plus Ultra!
