05x07 - (S) Match 3

[bunniefuu]

Hey, hey...

You all seem really relaxed.

Come on, Class A!

Let's settle this once and for all today!

"Class A" "Class B"

U.A. High School hero course

Class -A and Class -B's team combat training.

In the first match,

the Class A team won with Shinso, who had come to join the training.

And then in the second match,

Kendo's plan and Yaoyorozu's situational analysis went head-to-head,

and Class B won narrowly,

making it one win, one loss.

On Top,,,,,,"Fumikage Tokoyami - Quirk: Dark Shadow" "Kinoko Komori - Quirk: Mushroom"

Sorry about that, Tokoyami.

Want a cough drop?

I have no need of your pity.

Then go to Recovery Girl and get some medicine, okay?

On Top,,,,,,"Itsuka Kendo - Quirk: Big Fist" "Momo Yaoyorozu - Quirk: Creation"

They cannot get stronger without training?

Humans are so inefficient.

Why must we carry the injured?

Rescue doctrine is--

The damage was bad this time, huh?

It's completely different from the first match.

This is what training in the hero course is like.

But they might've gone a little overboard.

On Top,,,,,,"Pro Hero - Vlad King - Quirk: Blood Control"

Fukidashi! Kendo!

You probably already know this, but keep the damage to a minimum!

On Top,,,,,,"Manga Fukidashi - Quirk: Comic"

--Yes, sir! --Sorry!

Vlad, when will Komori's mushrooms disappear?

It'll likely be another two hours.

On Top,,,,,,"Pro Hero - Shota Aizawa - Quirk: Erasure"

Then, as we change locations...

Shall we take a break?

"Match "

The second match was a complete victory for Class B, huh?

"Mina Ashido - Quirk: Acid" "Ochaco Uraraka - Quirk: Zero Gravity" "Izuku Midoriya - Quirk: One For All" "Minoru Mineta - Quirk: Pop Off"

Like at the school festival, Class B will win in the end!

On Top,,,,,,"Neito Monoma - Quirk: Copy"

But there's no need to feel frustrated about it, Class A.

It's just that the difference in our abilities have been made clear!

Sorry about that.

He never changes, huh?

I don't know why he does it when he knows she's gonna hit him.

On Top,,,,,,"Denki Kaminari - Quirk: Electrification" "Toru Hagakure - Quirk: Invisibility"

Anyway, don't you think Class B's hiding a lot of monsters?

You could say the same about Class A.

Fukidashi, I didn't know you could make something so big!

My throat gets raspy, though!

I just have to bear it.

It's obvious, but it's not just their Quirks--

everyone's mental growth has also made their Quirks stronger.

You're writing a lot.

Deku, you've grown a lot, too.

I hope so.

Nowhere near as much as me, though.

I don't see it.

I'm not talking about height!

On Top,,,,,,"Pro Hero - All Might - Quirk: One For All"

I'm here... quietly.

All Might?

Young Midoriya, a moment, if you please.

--Oh, right. --You two are close!

That Midoriya's with All Might a lot recently, huh?

I heard All Might's been helping him practice since the school festival.

Of course Uraraka would have the deets on Midoriya.

I-It's just what I heard!

S-Sorry!

Don't use your Quirk before the match!

Don't waste it!

Breaking, breaking!

Young Midoriya, have you sensed anything strange in your Quirk since then?

No, not particularly.

I see.

My master didn't say anything about the Quirk activating spontaneously,

so I plan to ask Gran Torino about it, as well.

Right, please do.

Please be careful.

The fifth match will have Young Shinso,

who triggered the vestiges of One For All before.

On Top,,,,,,"Hitoshi Shinso - Quirk: Brainwashing"

Right, I will be careful.

On Top,,,,,, "Katsuki Bakugo - Quirk: expl*si*n"

--Hey! --Ah...!

...cchan, you surprised me!

On Top,,,,,,"Kacchan!"

You two asked me to keep your relationship a secret,

but now you're sneaking around like this?

You're being too obvious!

Hmm?

Don't "Hmm" at me!

Did something happen with One For All?

A-Actually...

Spontaneous activation...?

Hah! I can't tell if you're improving or going backward!

I don't know, either...

How long will it take you to master it? Huh?

I've gotten stronger since the last time we fought, you know.

Yeah... I'm going as fast as I can.

Young Bakugo is being considerate in his own way, huh?

What're you laughing at? Stuff like that seriously pisses me off!

Stop that, damn it!

Maybe I was wrong.

Young Midoriya saw the vestiges of One For All...

And he'll be fighting Young Shinso, who triggered that.

I feel like it is connected after all...

Master, what are you and the other previous users trying to do...?

On Top,,,,,,"Pro Hero - Recovery Girl - Quirk: Heal"

With an injury like this,

you should be back to normal in to minutes.

You should be thankful for your young body that heals fast.

Really, your skin is so supple, too!

The location of the third match

will be an area two blocks east of the previous matches.

All right, time for the next match!

Get ready for the third match!

It's finally Iida's turn, huh?

With Todoroki and his two wide-range attacks of flame and ice,

Iida's speed, Shoji and his outstanding scout capabilities,

and Ojiro, who's good at close combat,

I think this is a nice, balanced team.

We've got Todoroki, so it should be an easy win.

If you look down on others, you'll dig your own grave.

I know!

On Top,,,,,,"Shoto Todoroki - Quirk: Half-Cold Half-Hot"

Todoroki.

Tokoyami...

Is your throat okay?

I took the medicine I was prescribed.

I'm fine.

I see.

I gave a shameful performance.

The rest is up to you.

Why me?

Hawks, Endeavor.

As we have both studied under heroes of the last battle,

it is our duty to uphold the honor of the number one and number two heroes.

Yeah...

"The last battle," huh?

Plus Ultra...

...Prominence Burn!

Shoto...

You must learn this move.

Don't run from me.

Don't run from yourself!

Stand up!

Don't pretend to be weak!

Toya was close...

He had more firepower than me,

but he had Rei's weak constitution...

He... was close...

It's you, Shoto!

You, finally...

You're the only one who can do this move!

You can fulfill my ambition!

Todoroki...

Todoroki?

"Mezo Shoji - Quirk: Dupli-Arms" "Mashirao Ojiro - Quirk: Tail" "Tenya Iida - Quirk: Engine"

Are you all right?

You had a puzzled look on your face.

Really?

Yeah. Are you worried about something?

It's nothing. Thanks for asking.

Todoroki's facial expressions don't change that much, so I couldn't tell.

I can't believe you noticed.

As class rep, I must watch all my classmates

and offer a hand to those who are troubled!

You seem really cheerful. You always do, though.

Recently, my brother's recovery has been going well.

Oh, that's good to hear!

The hero, Ingenium, will probably end here.

No! You still have so many more people to lead!

That's why...

If you're up for it...

Will you take this name for me?

I also have the duty to uphold my brother, Ingenium's honor.

I'm watching everyone, but that means everyone's watching me, too.

I was third place at the sports festival!

I'll show everyone

the strong spirit of a successor!

The strong spirit... of a successor.

People always treat me like I'm dumb...

...but I still got accepted into U.A.

It's not like I don't think about what I'm doing!

What're you saying all of a sudden?

I'm talking about this team!

It's filled with hopeless guys bad at scouting!

That's true...

Then, what'll we do?!

Hey, guys!

We just talked about--

Then, of course--

Huh?

We'll have to level this place!

That's a dumb idea!

Come on, come on, come on, come on!

Didn't Mr. Vlad say to keep damage at a minimum?!

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!

Hey... Did you not hear what I said earlier...?

What's that?

There are intermittent sounds of metal grating.

It's probably Tetsutetsu.

Come on, come on, come on, come on!

On Top,,,,,,"Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu - Quirk: Steel"

Class B, Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu.

Hero name: Real Steel. Quirk: Steel.

He can turn his whole body into metal.

He can be the best pike or the best shield!

Take this!

And this!

No cheap tricks necessary!

Come on, it's fight to the death! A head-on fight!

Tetsutetsu! The other team's got Todoroki, remember?!

I don't care!

You really aren't thinking about anything!

Well, we can work with this, too, can't we?

Your thinking's so flexible, Juzo!

Jeez! Don't keep us in the dark like that!

See? Now Pony's speaking English!

She's really mad!

Tetsutetsu doesn't mean any harm.

In fact, his approach plays to our strengths.

You're so flexible dealing with this, Juzo!

Bring it on! Bring it on!

The sound of metal being destroyed is continuing.

From the reverberations, it sounds like he's destroying their surroundings.

The other team probably intends to have a head-on battle.

It's a head-to-head battle, huh?

Then, it'll be easier to deal with them, too.

Yeah.

All right, let's do this, Class A, Team !

"Tenya Iida" "Quirk: Engine" "He can run very fast using the engines in his calves."

"Affiliation: U.A. High School Hero Class -A" "Birthday: /" "Height: cm" "Blood Type: A" "Likes: Beef Stew"

"Mashirao Ojiro" "Quirk: Tail" "He can use his tail to attack, move, etc."

On Top,,,,,,"Affiliation: U.A. High School Hero Class -A" "Birthday: /" "Height: cm" "Blood Type: O" "Likes: Martial Arts"

The villain is escaping on Loop Route ...

The villain headed toward the harbor, as planned!

I got away!

Huh? Endeavor?!

I won't let you escape!

I'll take a hostage...!

Run! Hurry!

Y-You...

Let go of me!

On Top,,,,,,"Pro Hero - Endeavor - Quirk: Hellflame "

I can't do that.

Fine, stop, I'll go quietly!

Good work, Endeavor!

Any damage to the city?

Very little.

We were right to drive him into a harbor with few people, huh?

Yeah.

U-Um...

What is it?

Th-Thanks...

...for saving us!

Are you hurt?

N-No!

Be careful on your way home.

Okay!

Endeavor, we got another request to team up.

Shall I do the usual?

Yeah, make a list of the requests.

With Fuyumi's help,

I finally... finally friended Shoto's account.

Shoto, there's something I want to tell you once more.

"Have time to talk?" "I await your reply" "Shoto" "Are you well? Let's" "Let's talk" "I await your reply"

Don't ignore my messages, Shoto!

I'm different now from when I disregarded what you wanted before!

Don't run from me.

Don't run from yourself!

Stand up!

Don't pretend to be weak!

Now that you've started walking toward who you want to be,

I want to teach you that move, like a good father...

So...

So stop ignoring my messages, Shoto!

Shoto!

Class has probably started, right?

Don't you think his Shoto sickness is getting worse day by day?

Are you all right?

I didn't think you ever got sick!

I'm probably fine.

We're almost there.

As planned... let's spread out.

Got it.

I'm counting on you, Todoroki.

Tetsutetsu, the other team's not just going to come obediently like that!

They'll think it's a trap!

No, I'd come if I were them.

Have Shoji figure out what's going on,

then attack with Todoroki as the focal point. That'd be the strongest move.

If I thought the other team was gathered together in a wide-open space like this...

He's strong when he lets loose, as usual! No fair!

But the ice isn't obstructing his view. He's improved on it!

Todoroki's where the ice is! Where are the others?

Can't see them!

Even if Honenuki tries to soften the ground,

it doesn't matter if we cover it with ice!

With their movements slowed down,

we can catch them all at once.

Reciproburst!

Bring it on!

Wha--?!

Blasting ice is a cheap move.

If you came at us more coldheartedly with fire,

we wouldn't have been able to do anything.

On Top,,,,,,"Juzo Honenuki - Quirk: Softening"

Class B, Juzo Honenuki.

Hero name: Mudman. Quirk: Softening.

He makes the things he touches soft.

It doesn't work on living things.

They go back to normal when he touches them again.

Thanks, Juzo!

Your counterattack's flexible!

Off topic, but he took one of Class B's recommendation spots!

He activated it before the ice froze him in place!

He reacts super fast!

I'll retreat for now and--

Found you!

I softened a bunch of random stuff around here,

so you should watch where you step.

The Class B team does a splendid job of brushing off Todoroki's area attack!

Now, for the counterattack!

Honenuki knew the ice was coming?

Even if he did, he took action fast.

On Top,,,,,,"Rikido Sato - Quirk: Sugar Rush" "Hanta Sero - Quirk: Tape"

So he's really good at reading the situation, huh?

His flexibility isn't just for show.

Nice, Juzo! I'll take Ojiro!

Ouch!

I can't guard against this!

On Top,,,,,,"Sen Kaibara - Quirk: Gyrate"

Class B, Sen Kaibara.

Hero name: Spiral. Quirk: Gyrate.

He can make any part of his body rotate like a drill!

Ojiro!

A-Again?!

Your legs are only as strong as the foundation they stand on.

The ground beneath the ice is also soft.

You're very hard to deal with.

I'll leave you there, sunk and trapped.

Are you trying to keep us from working as a team?

You crafty villain!

He's really in character, huh?

They're unable to move easily now.

The Class B team doesn't have anyone who can scout,

but as long as everyone's gathered in one place,

they're not handicapped by that.

If it turns into a free-for-all,

then Todoroki's Quirk's power will also be halved.

That's right. All that's left is to overwhelm them.

In this situation,

I can't use flames or ice at full strength.

Should I go to the front?

But then no one's left to guard Shoji as he searches for the enemy.

Shoji!

My opinion is that their scout, Shoji, will be in a safe place!

Yes, like behind Todoroki!

On Top,,,,,,"Pony Tsunotori - Quirk: Horn Cannon"

Class B, Pony Tsunotori.

Quirk: Horn Cannon.

She can send her horns flying!

Currently, she can control up to four of the horns she shoots off!

She has to take good care of her horns!

These are... stronger than I expected.

Tetsutetsu!

Here I come!

Horn Dash...

...Hammer!

b*stard, you're so cold! Your ice!

It's freezing my steel, Todoroki!

You think you can beat me...

...in a barehanded fight?!

On Top,,,,,,"Eijiro Kirishima - Quirk: Hardening"

That Tetsutetsu's already doing what I was told to do after my match.

Nah, he's not thinking that much.

Honenuki's the one who made it possible for him to do that.

What's wrong? You're just dodging!

You be good!

b*stard!

Sorry.

Recipro has a time limit, right?

Isn't it bad to use it right at the beginning?

Anyway, I'm going to go help Tetsutetsu now.

Time limit?

That was a long time ago, Mudman.

Ingenium will rush anywhere, anytime.

That's what these legs are for!

I've been at full throttle this whole time!

New Style: Recipro Turbo!

Seriously?

Tenya, congrats on getting your provisional license.

Thanks, Tensei.

You're abusing your Engine a bit, huh?

Hey, Mom.

His body's matured, so don't you think it's fine now?

Yes, I still feel like it might be a bit too soon, though...

Tuning my Engine?

Yeah, pulling out your mufflers and training.

When you do that, mufflers that can take that extra load will grow in.

It's a technique passed down from our grandfather's days,

so that the Iida hero family could rush to help more people.

Pulling out your mufflers will cause great pain and require perseverance.

If you think you want to run more, then...

Raising the horsepower of Recipro,

and lowering fuel consumption to the minimum!

Ten minutes!

For ten minutes,

no one can stop me!

On Top,,,,,,"Preview"

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 hopeless situation

is Iida's new and improved Recipro Turbo,

and Todoroki's left side.

Burn your flames, Todoroki.

In order to become who you want to be with the power you have.

Next time, "Match Conclusion."

It'll be a grand final scene.

On Top,,,,,,"Next time: Match Conclusion"

Go beyond!

Plus Ultra!
