03x14 - (D) Create Those Ultimate Moves

[bunniefuu]

[IZUKU] Welcome to UA High,

the prestigious school

that's turned out some of

the world's greatest heroes.

I'm running toward my

dream in these halls.

Learning to overcome obstacles

and save people with

a smile on my face.

That's how I'll become the

greatest hero in the world!

[ALL MIGHT]

Young Midoriya. Listen.

I'm officially retired as a pro.

It's clear now that my body

won't allow me to

fight another battle.

[ALL MIGHT] The last sparks

of One For All have left me.

And my muscle form won't last

for any significant

amount of time.

I can't protect you

when you put yourself

in danger now.

And you're always rushing

in to try and help,

no matter what I tell you.

Destroying your body,

over and over.

Yet, back there,

you managed to...

[ALL MIGHT] ...rescue your

friend without being injured

or getting into a fight.

I'm so proud of you.

[gasps]

[ALL MIGHT]

From here on out,

I will devote myself

to training you.

You're stuck with me.

So let's keep working

hard together.

Thank you.

Nothing would make me

happier, All Might.

I'll do my best!

Wait. This isn't...

Oh, right. I'm in the dorm now.

[IZUKU]

Good morning.

[IZUKU] After being att*cked

by the League of Villains

twice in one school year,

UA brought its students

to live on campus

in order to keep us safe.

[IZUKU] Our dorm, Heights

Alliance, was a five-minute walk

from the main school building.

Things were a little strange

at first, but once we finally

settled into our

new home, we returned

to normal coursework and our

goal of becoming heroes.

[IZUKU] I will definitely

be a pro one day.

Because of what I

inherited from All Might.

Not just One For All,

but his spirit, too!

[AIZAWA] I believe I

mentioned this already,

but your main focus this summer

is obtaining provisional

hero licenses.

[STUDENTS]

Yes, sir!

Do not take this lightly.

A hero license means that you're

responsible for human lives.

You can imagine that the exam to

receive one is very difficult.

Only percent of

students pass the tests

required for these

permits each year.

It's that hard to get

a provisional license?

[AIZAWA] In order to prepare,

today you'll concentrate

on creating something new.

[AIZAWA]

Two ultimate moves.

[KAMINARI, KIRISHIMA]

Ultimate moves?

[BOTH] An exam is a

normal school thing.

[KIRISHIMA, SERO]

But this is total hero work!

[ECTOPLASM] When we say

"ultimate," we mean a move

that will ensure you win

against your opponent.

[CEMENTOSS] An action

so unique to your identity

that no other person

can hope to copy it.

Simply put,

you must learn to lean

into your strengths.

[MIDNIGHT] Your moves

represent who you are.

These days, most pro heroes

have an ultimate move.

Those who don't are fools.

This may sound abstract,

but we'll explain more

as the day goes on.

For now, change

into your costumes

and meet in Gym Gamma.

[AIZAWA] Gym Gamma,

also known at the Academy

as the "Training

Dining Land," or TDL.

[OCHACO, ASHIDO, IZUKU]

Huh?

[IZUKU]

First the USJ, and now this?

This facility was my idea.

We can prepare unique

terrains and obstacles

for each student here.

Here you will learn

to serve up justice,

hence the name.

That's pretty cool.

[TENYA]

Please allow me a question.

What is the advantage

of having ultimate moves

for our provisional exam?

May we know your reasoning?

That's two questions. Calm down.

The job of a hero

is to save people

from all sorts of dangers.

Crime, accidents, and natural

or man-made disasters.

Of course, the

licensing exam analyzes

how well you're able

to deal with such things.

It won't just be fighting.

Your ability to

gather information

and make quick decisions

will be judged.

In addition to how well

you communicate, cooperate,

and lead others.

Every year a new test is used

to evaluate these qualities.

One thing is

especially important.

If you want to be a pro hero,

you must be able to

prevail in battle.

If you're prepared,

you won't have to worry.

And those of you with

an ultimate move

will have stronger results.

Your circumstances

should not dictate

the results of your

future battles.

Learn to be consistent and

you will be a great asset

on the front lines.

[ECTOPLASM] Your ultimate

move doesn't necessarily

have to be an attack.

Take Iida's Reciproburst,

for example.

[TENYA gasps]

[ECTOPLASM] This sort of

temporary boost in speed

is valuable enough that

it falls into the category

of excellence we're looking for.

[TENYA gasps]

You mean I've been doing

an ultimate move all along?

So, it's basically

our secret w*apon.

Something that gives us

the edge so we can win

no matter who or

what we're facing.

There's a smart boy.

For example, how

Kamui Woods is able

to use his Lacquered

Chain Prison

to capture opponents

in an instant.

That's exactly what

we want to see.

The training camp

was interrupted.

But the practice you did get

in to develop your Quirks

was part of the process

needed to create

these defining abilities.

Now that you're caught up--

you'll be working hard

to develop powerful moves

of your own for the

next ten days or so.

This is how you will

spend the remainder

of your summer vacation.

Prepare for intensive training.

In addition, you

should think about

how you can improve your

costumes, especially now

that you have a better

understanding of your Quirks.

I expect each of you

to go Plus Ultra.

Do you have it in you?

[STUDENTS]

Yes, sir!

I am so charged up for this.

[IZUKU]

What's my move?

[ECTOPLASM]

It's obvious you're relying

too much on your tail.

Let's re-examine the

basics of how you fight.

Yes, sir!

[OJIRO]

But my tail is my power.

Ultimate move.

sh**ting acid from

my hands. Super geyser!

Whaddaya think?

[ECTOPLASM] If you're

going to go that route,

make a nozzle with your fingers

to increase aim and reach.

Yes, like that. Go.

Oh, crap! I'm totally awesome!

[ECTOPLASM]

Now let's focus on increasing

the potency of your acid.

Two Creations at the same time.

You may start with

something simple.

Yes, sir!

[IZUKU]

Everyone's making headway.

[IZUKU grunts]

[ECTOPLASM] Why are you

staring off into space?

[IZUKU]

Oh, um.

About the moves we're

coming up with. See...

If I put too much

power into my arms,

then I won't be able

to use them anymore.

I'll break them.

So I don't know what

a special attack of mine

would even look like.

[ECTOPLASM] Hm. It's true that

your Quirk is interesting.

Not exactly one that

we'd call consistent.

If you don't have a

fixed attack style yet,

then let's focus on

developing your power.

Yes, sir.

[ALL MIGHT]

Everyone's workin' hard, huh?

[AIZAWA]

All Might.

Yeah, I am here.

Because I have the day

off and I don't have

anything else to do. Ha!

[AIZAWA] Will you please

focus on recuperating

and lesson planning?

Hey, why the cold reception?

They're workin' their

big moves now, right?

There's no way I could

miss being here for this.

I'm still a UA

teacher, you know.

[ALL MIGHT]

Young Midoriya.

Looks like you're

having trouble.

[crash]

Now you explode!

It's been a while since I was

able to really let loose.

Ectoplasm! I k*lled 'em!

Gimme another one.

That boy is incredible.

Yes. And he'll get even

stronger in the future.

Ooh. Look at that!

Bakugo's going hardcore.

I bet he's got a ton of ideas

for his special moves already.

[HAGAKURE]

He's been planning this stuff

since the entrance exam!

[yelps] Whoops!

[ECTOPLASM]

Focus!

[OCHACO]

Yes, sir!

[MINETA] Just in case

anyone was wondering,

I've been working on

Grape Rush since I was a kid.

I mean, we've all thought

about it before, right?

I used to imagine wielding

a lightning sword!

I'm getting hyped up

just thinking about

doing something that

cool in real life.

[IZUKU] How can I fight

with these damaged arms?

[ALL MIGHT]

Hey.

What are you doing here?

[ALL MIGHT]

I've come with advice.

Think for yourself.

You're still trying

to imitate me.

Oh. I guess I didn't...

Yo, Young Kirishima.

Hey, All Might.

[ALL MIGHT] I've got some

wisdom to lay down on ya.

[ALL MIGHT] So, instead of

going for small tricks

with your Hardening,

try being a bulldozer.

Yes, sir!

[ALL MIGHT]

I wouldn't be a good teacher

if I just gave you the answers.

Use that clever head

on your shoulders.

There's no right or wrong here.

What's important

is that you realize

your full potential on your own.

[ALL MIGHT]

Young Jiro. Listen up.

I have a few things

that might help you.

[AIZAWA]

He's suddenly good at this?

[gasps]

[AIZAWA] Regarding your

costume improvements.

Once you've figured out if

anything needs to change,

head to the

development studio here.

Get the experts to help you

out and give suggestions.

They'll know what to do.

Think for yourself.

You're still trying

to imitate me.

[IZUKU] I don't really get

why that's a bad thing.

But I know I have to do

something about this.

They have to have

some kind of brace

to reinforce my arms here.

I've gotta train my body

so I can wield One For All

at maximum power.

[IZUKU] And I need to figure

out a way to use my Quirk

in my ultimate move.

Otherwise, I'll fall

behind everyone else.

That's not going to happen.

I have to make it to the

top and achieve my dream.

[TENYA]

Ah, I see.

You're focusing on making

your own body float.

[OCHACO] Mm-hm. If I

increase my mobility,

I can use the martial arts

I learned from my

internship even more.

What are you doing?

It's quite simple.

I want to reduce

Recipro's drawbacks.

I plan on asking the development

studio to improve my radiator.

[OCHACO]

Oh! Hey there, Deku!

I was just wondering

where you were!

Don't run in the halls!

You here for costume

improvements, too?

Oh, Uraraka.

[BOTH gasp]

[HATSUME] Ow, ow, ow, ow,

owie, owie, ow.

[POWER LOADER coughs] Ya know,

you shouldn't try to mix

everything you can find in

the lab together like that.

[HATSUME chuckles] Failure is

the mother of invention,

Mr. Power Loader.

Thomas Edison said

something like that once.

[HATSUME coughs]

[HATSUME] Even if something

I make doesn't work

like I've envisioned it,

that doesn't mean

it's a waste of time.

You almost blew up

the entire design studio!

Will you please open your ears

and listen to me

for once? Hatsume!

Hey. When did you get here?

[OCHACO]

Boobs!

[HATSUME] Oh, sorry about

the sudden expl*si*n.

It's been a while, huh?

Class A, right? Uh...

Yeah, I forgot all

your names already.

Uh, Izuku Midoriya. H--

I'm Tenya Iida!

The man you tricked into

being a walking advertisement

during the sports festival.

Never heard a' you.

Well, I'm busy developing

new babies, so, bye!

Wait a second, please!

I wanted to ask

Mr. Power Loader about

improving some elements

of my costume.

Wha... Wha... What?

You can count me in!

[POWER LOADER]

Hatsume!

It's fine for you to be in

and out of the studio all day

since you're in the dorms.

But if you stop

following my instructions

and keep running wild in here...

...you're banned.

Um. Hello.

[POWER LOADER]

I heard from Eraser Head.

You're here to upgrade

those costumes

for your new moves,

yes? Come in.

[IZUKU] Ooh! This looks

like a top-secret lab!

Now. Hand over your

instructions, please.

They should've been

with the case

your costume was delivered in.

I have a license

to make costumes,

so I'm allowed to do

some mild tinkering

with those that were

made out-of-house.

For small changes and repairs,

I can simply report what I

altered to the design company.

They'll do the paperwork for me.

But, for major changes,

we'll have to fill out

an application and ask

the design professionals to

make the adjustments for us.

After that's completed,

the government

will make sure the new costume

meets certain standards.

When approved,

it'll be sent back here.

And we work with the best

design agencies available.

So there's usually just

a three-day turnaround.

Uh, well.

I was wondering if there

was a way I could reduce

the strain on the

ligaments in my arms.

Is that hard? Or possible?

[POWER LOADER]

Hmm, let's see, Midoriya.

You mainly fight with your

fists and your fingers.

In that case,

I should be able to do

something for you pretty fast.

Deku, that's awesome!

Yeah!

Yes, yes, I see the problem.

H-Hatsume. What are

you doing to him?

[HATSUME]

I'm feeling out his muscles.

Oh, my, your body's much more

muscle-y than it looks.

[shrieks]

[HATSUME]

Don't you worry.

I've got just what you need.

My very special baby.

The power suit!

Okay.

This high-tech darling can read

muscle contractions and

support your movements.

Meet my baby number !

Um. But I really just need

support for my arms.

[HATSUME]

Program Start!

Holy whoa. This

thing is amazing!

Wait. No. I take it back.

My spine! It's

twisting me in half!

--Oh, god, I'm gonna die.

--[OCHACO] Are you okay?

End program.

Looks like I made

a mistake or two

in the limit calculations.

That's my bad.

Oh, my gosh, are you hurt?

[IZUKU] I came in asking

for some kind of arm brace,

and instead my body

almost got pretzeled.

Now that I think about it,

I could use this suit

as a capture item.

Sir. I was wondering

if you could improve

the cooling devices in my legs.

If that's what you're

in the market for.

Try this baby on!

How--?

It's an electric

booster for radiators

that can coolify anything

that gives off heat!

Sweet baby number .

Hatsume, there's nothing

wrong with my boosters.

--And why my arms?

--[HATSUME] Booster. Go.

Hey!

[IZUKU, OCHACO]

Iida!

[TENYA] My Quirk is in

my legs, you madwoman.

[HATSUME] Yeah, I know.

But you don't understand.

Come on, it's so brilliant.

If you're wanting to

cool down your legs,

then why don't you just run

with your arms instead!

[gasps]

[POWER LOADER]

Stop messing around!

[TENYA] What in the world

are you talking about?!

[HATSUME]

Violent!

[ALL MIGHT] You're still

trying to imitate me.

[IZUKU gasps]

Hold on. Maybe...

Sorry, guys.

I'm trying to get her to

look past her own devices.

I'm not sure

that'll ever happen.

Same.

But y'know.

If you all are

aspiring to be heroes,

then you should treasure

your relationship with her.

You'll need her once

you've been made pros.

Look in the corner.

[POWER LOADER]

That pile of junk?

Those are all the support

items Hatsume's made

since starting school here.

She's always inventing,

even when school's

not in session.

I've seen many support

course students in my career,

but I tell you, this girl

is something special.

She made all of this

in such a short time?

That's nuts.

[HATSUME giggles]

[POWER LOADER]

"Common sense is a collection

of prejudices

acquired by age ."

That's something Einstein said.

That girl is

unafraid of failure.

Constantly thinking of new

ideas and trying them out.

Innovators are people

who don't feel chained down

by existing concepts.

[gasps]

Think for yourself.

You're still trying

to imitate me.

[IZUKU]

Wait!

[GRAN TORINO] But your

admiration for All Might...

[IZUKU]

I think I get it.

It's so simple.

[IZUKU gasps]

[IZUKU]

I understand!

[IZUKU]

Iida!

Please, there's so much

I want you to teach me!

Uh, wait, what are

you talking about?

You want my help

with your training?

We haven't made any progress

on our costumes yet.

Oh! That's right!

[OCHACO] Whoa! Your face

totally lit up just now!

I was just realizing something.

Oh, I never asked, are you

changing part of your costume?

A little. I don't wanna

feel sick anymore.

[HATSUME]

Oh, you don't say.

In that case, you've

gotta try this out!

[OCHACO] Why do I feel like

it's about to explode?

[HATSUME] Just handle this

baby with care, or...

What is that? Smoke?

[BOTH]

You'll k*ll us!

[laughs] Work in progress.

[IZUKU] As the days passed,

our training to create

our ultimate moves continued.

[ALL MIGHT] Aizawa.

How are things progressing?

[AIZAWA] You're back again?

We're getting there.

[MINETA] Hey, Midoriya!

Did ya switch your costume up?

Yeah.

I got braces added that reduce

the strain on my arms.

You missed a solid chance

to change your entire design.

It's so boring.

I like it.

Congratulations!

I'm so proud you got into UA!

I don't wanna change the base.

At least not much.

Now. Onto me, Dark Shadow.

[DARK SHADOW]

Right!

[TOKOYAMI] By covering

myself with Dark Shadow.

My strength is enhanced.

I'm better at close combat.

I call it Abyssal Black Body!

[MIDNIGHT]

Is that hard to say?

It's important that

it's easy to call out.

[DARK SHADOW]

Got it!

Some of them have

finally solidified

their fighting styles.

And there are those

already putting together

multiple special moves.

[KATSUKI]

Not from my entire hand.

But a blast from a single,

concentrated point.

AP Shot!

Ha, ha! I did it!

[ALL MIGHT] No surprise that

Young Bakugo is doing well.

As usual.

[AIZAWA]

Uh-huh.

Hey! Watch out!

[gasps]

[IZUKU]

Smash!

[IZUKU]

All Might's signature moves

usually involve his fists.

Since I inherited

One For All from him,

I tried to do the same thing.

Copying his every technique.

That's where I went wrong.

It's so obvious that

I didn't even realize it!

[IZUKU] If I'm worried about

my arms, then I'll use my legs.

One For All: Full

Cowling. sh**t Style!

You did it, kid.

[IZUKU]

Here's the preview!

Using my legs instead of my arms

is the key to my new

way of fighting.

One For All, Full Cowling:

sh**t Style!

Together with Costume Gamma

that Hatsume made for me,

I'm finally ready for the

Provisional Hero Licensing Exam!

If I can just pass this test,

then I can participate

in hero work,

taking me one step closer to

my dream of becoming a pro.

Next time, "The Test."

Shiketsu High School,

Ketsubutsu Academy;

we've got some fearsome rivals.

Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
