[IZUKU] In the days after
the sports festival ended,
we recovered from our injuries,
and then, our normal classes
started right back up again.
Well, some things
were different.
[PASSENGER A whispers]
Hey, you. Excuse me.
You're Midoriya from Class -A!
Great job in the
sports festival.
I rooted for you!
[gasps]
[PASSENGER B] You were
in the top eight, right?
That's so impressive!
--[PASSENGERS murmuring]
--[IZUKU] Uh... Uh!
[PASSENGER E]
Yeah, I can tell you really
wanna be a pro one day!
[PASSENGERS]
Keep trying for it, hero!
I will! Thanks!
[IZUKU sighs]
I feel like I'm barely awake.
[TENYA]
Good morning, Midoriya!
Ah-- Whoa, Iida?
You really went all out
with the rain gear.
Why on earth are you
walking so slowly?
You'll be late.
Late? But...
There's still five minutes
until the first bell.
UA students should
always arrive
ten minutes early,
don't you think?
Uh...
So, Iida. Um...
[TENYA] If it's about my
brother, don't be concerned.
I'm sorry if I made you worry.
Everything'll be fine.
[ASHIDO] It's so weird that
people recognize us from TV.
Everyone wanted to talk
to me on my way here.
Yeah, me, too!
[HAGAKURE] People on the
street were staring at me!
It was kind of embarrassing.
Sure, but isn't that
pretty normal for you?
You won't believe
what a bunch of
elementary school
brats yelled at me.
[TSUYU]
"Nice try?"
[groans]
All it took was
one sports festival
and suddenly we're
like celebrities.
[MINETA]
This school really is amazing.
Morning.
[STUDENTS]
Good morning, Mr. Aizawa!
Ribbit?
Mr. Aizawa, you don't
have bandages anymore.
That's good news.
The old lady went
a little overboard
in her treatment. Anyway.
We have a big class today
on Hero Informatics.
[STUDENTS]
Oh, no!
[KAMINARI]
Informatics?
Please don't tell me
it's a pop quiz.
[KIRISHIMA] Crap, I bet
it's about hero laws.
I'm so bad at stuff like that.
You need codenames.
Time to pick your
hero identities.
[STUDENTS] This is gonna
be totally awesome!
[AIZAWA growls]
[STUDENTS]
Shh.
[AIZAWA] This is related
to the pro hero draft picks
that I mentioned the last time
we were in class together.
Normally, students don't have
to worry about the draft yet.
Not until their second
or third year actually,
but your class is different.
In fact,
by extending offers to
first-years like you,
pros are essentially
investing in your potential.
Any offers can be rescinded
if their interest in you
dies down before
graduation, though.
Stupid, selfish adults.
[HAGAKURE] So, what you're
saying is, we'll still
have to prove ourselves
after we've gotten recruited.
Correct. Now.
Here are the totals for
those of you who got offers.
In past years, it's
been more spread out.
But there's a pretty
big gap this time.
Gah! That's no fair.
What about the real star? Moi?
Todoroki got the most,
ahead of Bakugo?
Yeah, it's the opposite
of how they placed
in the festival.
They probably weren't
excited about working
with the guy who had to be
chained up at the end.
If I scared a pro,
they're just weak!
[sighs]
That's amazing.
You must be proud.
These offers are probably
because of my father.
[gasps] People want us!
[giggles]
Midoriya. You got none!
I bet everyone was
really grossed out
by the crazy way
you were fighting.
Despite these results,
you'll all be interning
with pros. Got it?
Even those of you who
didn't get any offers.
Oh, so, we're all interning?
[AIZAWA]
Yes.
You already got to experience
combat with real villains
during the attack
on the USJ facility.
But it'll still be helpful
to see pros at work.
Up close and personal,
in the field. Firsthand.
And for that,
we need hero names!
Things are suddenly
getting a lot more fun!
[AIZAWA] These hero names
will likely be temporary,
but take them seriously or...
[MIDNIGHT] ...you'll have
hell to pay later!
[ALL gasp]
[MIDNIGHT]
What you pick today could be
your codename for life.
You better be careful,
or you'll be stuck
with something utterly indecent.
[STUDENTS]
It's Midnight!
Yeah. She's got a good point.
Midnight is going to have final
approval over your names.
It's not my forte.
Hm? So you haven't decided
on a codename yet?
It doesn't matter what I choose.
I don't wanna be in
the spotlight anyway.
Bro. I got it!
How about Eraser Head?!
Sure, whatever.
The name you give
yourself is important.
It helps reinforce your image
and shows what kind of hero
you wanna be in the future.
A codename tells people
exactly what you represent.
Take "All Might" for example.
[IZUKU]
All Might...
Ah.
[IZUKU]
My hero name...
I need something that
embodies the kind of hero
I wanna be one day.
[MIDNIGHT]
Now, students, who among you
is ready to share?
[KIRISHIMA]
We're presenting these?
[SERO] Oh, great! Who's got
the balls to go first?
Hold your breath.
The Shining Hero.
My name is "I can not
stop twinkling!"
Mon amis. You can't
deny my sparkle.
[STUDENTS]
Come on!
It'll be better this way.
Take out the "I" and shorten
the "cannot" to "can't."
It's stunning, mademoiselle.
[STUDENTS]
She likes it?
Also, you're not really
French, are you?
That's just an act.
[ASHIDO]
Okie dokie, lemme go next!
My code name: Alien Queen!
[MIDNIGHT]
Hold on.
Like that horrible monster
with the acidic blood?
I don't think so.
[ASHIDO]
Dang it.
[STUDENTS]
That one wasn't okay?
Since the first two
were so weird,
I feel like I
have to come up with
something really clever now.
[TSUYU]
Ribbit!
I think I've got one.
Okay if I go next?
Come on up!
I've had this name in mind
since grade school.
Rainy Season Hero: Froppy!
That's delightful!
It makes you sound approachable.
What a great example of
a name everyone will love!
[STUDENTS chanting]
Froppy! Froppy! Froppy! Froppy!
[STUDENTS] Thanks, Froppy!
Finally, a normal one!
I've got mine, too.
The Sturdy Hero.
My name is Red Riot!
[MIDNIGHT]
"Red Riot"? Interesting.
You're paying homage
to the Chivalrous Hero,
Crimson Riot, yes?
That's right. He may be
kind of old school,
but someday, I wanna
be just like he was.
Crimson is my idol.
[MIDNIGHT]
Hm. If you're bearing the name
of someone you admire,
you have that much
more to live up to.
I accept the challenge.
[IZUKU]
Wow, that's so cool.
Before I met All Might,
I had a couple of
names picked out.
Ah. You want me
to help you pick out
your hero name?
[IZUKU]
Yeah!
I can't decide which
one I like most!
Let's see here.
There's "Mighty All Man"
and "Mighty Boy."
Oh, "All Might, Junior"?
That's me!
"Mighty Man" or
"Captain All Might."
Ooh I like "Super All Might"!
Super!
[IZUKU'S MOM]
Super!
[IZUKU] I loved coming up
with all those names.
They never failed to
put a smile on my face
back in those days.
But...
Now that I've been
given his power
and I'm training under him,
I see just how far
I still have to go.
There's no way
I can choose a name
that riffs off of his yet.
Man.
I still haven't been able
to think of anything
that's cool enough.
Hey, I've got one.
How does "Jamming-yay"
sound to you?
Ha! Oh, it's like "Hemingway,"
who wrote <i>A Farewell</i>
<i>to Arms</i> , right?
Real clever. I like it.
[JIRO]
No.
It's because even though
you're powerful,
you always...
Yay.
[JIRO]
...jam your brain.
Oh, come on, Jiro.
Quit messing with me!
The Hearing Hero.
I'm Earphone Jack.
Now that's a good one!
The Tentacle Hero, Tentacole.
Oh, I like what you're
doing with that.
A nice portmanteau.
The Taping Hero, Cellophane!
That's on the nose. Good work!
Martial Arts Hero: Tailman.
No surprise with
that one, I guess!
I'm the Sweets Hero, Sugarman!
Perfect!
Pinky!
Make those looks
work for you, girl!
[KAMINARI]
Stun g*n Hero: I am Chargebolt.
Electric, doncha think?
Makes me all tingly!
[HAGAKURE] The Stealth
Hero: Invisible Girl!
[MIDNIGHT]
That really suits you!
Now come on, who's
gonna step up next?
I hope that I can
live up to this name.
The Everything Hero: I'm Creati!
Creative!
Shoto.
Just your name? Is that it?
Uh-huh.
Jet-Black Hero: Tsukuyomi.
[MIDNIGHT]
Ah, God of the night!
[MINETA]
Fresh-Picked Hero: Grape Juice!
[MIDNIGHT]
Very kitschy!
Yep. All about it!
King expl*si*n m*rder.
I'm gonna say that one's
a little too violent.
Huh, whaddaya mean?!
[KIRISHIMA]
Why don't you be expl*si*n Boy?
You shut up, weird hair!
[OCHACO]
Okay. My turn.
This is the name I thought of:
Uravity!
I just love that!
Whew!
[MIDNIGHT] To be honest,
choosing names is going faster
than I thought it would.
All we have left
is young Bakugo,
who needs to rethink
his, and Iida.
Oh, yes, and Midoriya, too.
[INGENIUM]
Tenya.
[INGENIUM]
I wasn't sure if I wanted
to say anything yesterday.
But, I... I can't feel my legs.
They're useless.
[TENYA]
What? No way!
Yeah. I think the hero
Ingenium is finished.
At least for me.
[TENYA]
No!
You still have so many people
to help and inspire, brother.
This can't be true.
[INGENIUM]
I'm sorry. I'm afraid it is.
That's why...
I want you to take the name.
Will you do that? For me, Tenya.
[TENYA]
No. I'm still...
[MIDNIGHT] You're using
your real name, too?
[MIDNIGHT]
Well, Midoriya, are you ready?
Oh. Yes!
[IZUKU]
This is it. It has to be.
[STUDENTS gasp]
Really, Midoriya?
You sure about that?
Yeah, man, remember,
that could be your name forever.
Right. I used to hate it.
But, then, something
changed. I guess...
Someone taught me that it could
have a different meaning.
And that had a huge
impact on how I felt.
So, now I really like it.
You can call me Deku,
but I'm not helpless anymore!
From now on, Deku is
the name of a hero!
Deku. That has
to be my codename!
[CEMENTOSS]
Huh.
Offers for the first years
are still coming in.
Looky here.
Who's that one for?
It's for Midoriya.
[ALL MIGHT]
Really? Who's after him?
What? Are you kidding me?
Lord expl*si*n m*rder!
That's basically the same thing.
[AIZAWA] Now that everyone's
decided on their hero names,
we can go back to talking about
your upcoming internships.
They'll last for one week.
As for who you'll
be working with.
Those of you who were
on the board will choose
from among your offers,
everyone else
will have a different list.
You have a lot to think about.
There are around
agencies across the country
who've agreed to take on
interns from your class.
Each agency has
a different specialty
that its heroes focus on.
Keep that in mind.
Imagine that you were Thirteen.
You'd want to choose
a place that focuses on
rescuing people, not fighting
villains. Understand?
Think carefully
before you decide.
--[STUDENTS] Yes, sir!
--[school bell rings]
I want to fight crime
and bad guys in a big city.
I just hope I can
intern someplace
where there's a lot of
flooding. Or maybe a lake.
[AIZAWA] Turn in your
choices before the weekend.
[SERO]
We've only got two days?
[AIZAWA]
Yeah, so you should start now.
You're dismissed.
[gasps]
[ASHIDO]
So, guys,
have you decided what
pro agency you wanna go for?
Mt. Lady's my top choice!
Mineta.
Are you thinking
something perverted?
Possibly...
You made it pretty far
in the tournament.
It's weird you didn't
get any offers.
I know.
Hey, Deku, who's on your list?
There are only
heroes who'll take us,
so after looking up their
specialties and splitting them
into groups, I can
start narrowing...
[OJIRO, MINETA, OCHACO, ASHIDO]
There he goes again.
Huh? Oh. Sorry,
what'd you guys say?
You're really thinking hard
about this, aren't you?
It'll all work out.
I've settled on my pick.
Already?
What agency?
The one that the Battle
Hero, Gunhead, runs.
[IZUKU] Huh? Gunhead's
a big brawler, though.
Are you sure that's where
you wanna intern, Uraraka?
Yup! He sent me an offer.
Whoa, really?
But, I thought you were
trying to be a hero
kinda like Thirteen, more
into rescuing than fighting.
Ultimately, that's the plan.
But I've been thinking
ever since the festival--
Well, at least since I
faced off against Bakugo.
The stronger I am, the more
possibilities I'll have.
Plus, learning from
a battle hero will give me
a different perspective. Right?
Yeah, totally.
More importantly,
there's something
I've been meaning
to ask you all day.
Why are you trembling?
Oh. This? It's exercise.
[OCHACO]
Exercise?
Were you doing that
during the whole class?
There's no way!
That's such an
old-fashioned way to train.
A smart one, though.
The isometric muscle contraction
that's needed to hold
your body above your seat
makes it an easy way
to work out without moving.
Idiots.
[IZUKU]
I have to keep on improving.
It's the only way
I'll have any hope
of finally controlling
One For All.
Tis skill not strength
that governs a ship.
[OCHACO]
Hey, Deku! Wanna walk together?
[IZUKU]
Mm-hm.
Iida, come with u--
Huh...
[IZUKU] I bet he already
decided where he wants
to do his internship.
My guess is he's off turning
his forms in right now.
[laughs] I am here
in a bizarre position!
Um--
Yeah, what's that about,
and why are you in such a hurry?
Hi, come with me a sec.
Uh, sure. Okay.
[ALL MIGHT]
I'll get straight to the point.
You've received
an offer from a hero
who'd like to take you on.
[gasps] Wait, seriously, who?
[ALL MIGHT] Yes. The hero's
name is Gran Torino.
He taught at this
school back in my day,
but only for one year.
In fact, the man was
my homeroom teacher.
[gasps]
[ALL MIGHT] He knows about
One For All, as well.
Actually, I suspect that's
the reason he asked for you.
This guy sounds
totally awesome!
Wait.
So, he knows how
your Quirk works, too?
But how?
[ALL MIGHT]
Gran Torino was the sworn friend
of my predecessor.
He retired a long time ago,
so I forget to count him
among the people who know.
[ALL MIGHT grunting]
[ALL MIGHT] Is this because
I wrote about you
in the letter I sent him?
Or did he watch the
festival and think
that my teaching was inadequate?
If he went so far as to
use his old hero name
when making the offer...
It's scary. Too scary.
Dammit, legs, stop shaking!
[IZUKU] All Might is seriously
freaking out right now.
[ALL MIGHT growls] Anyway,
it is my duty to train you.
But, since you got an offer,
you should work with him
this week if that's
what your heart says.
Anyway, h-h-here's
the-the-the-the address.
[IZUKU]
Just how scary is this guy?
[SNIPE]
Internships, huh?
[AIZAWA] Yeah. A few students
already chose theirs.
[SNIPE]
It's an important time for them.
Make sure they do it right.
Plenty a' third years around
here still regret their picks.
[AIZAWA]
Of course.
[AIZAWA] Iida only listed
one place. That's strange.
He must have gotten better
offers than this one.
[AIZAWA]
A hero agency in Hosu.
Don't tell me...
[OCHACO]
What? You got an offer?
Go, Deku! That's awesome!
Yeah. Thanks.
[OCHACO] Aw, man. Did Iida
go home without us?
[IZUKU]
After the Sports Festival,
Iida's big brother
was all over the news.
It turns out he'd been
att*cked in Hosu City, Tokyo.
The person responsible
had apparently
already k*lled heroes in
the past, and hurt so badly
that they were beyond recovery.
He's a scourge on
the pro community.
The elusive Hero k*ller.
His villain name?
Stain.
[TENYA] If it's about my
brother, don't be concerned.
I'm sorry if I made you worry.
Everything'll be fine.
[IZUKU] Iida didn't say
anything else about
what was going on with Ingenium.
Later,
I was surprised to hear that
he'd taken an internship
in Hosu City, the same place
where his big brother
had been left for dead.
But I felt like I couldn't
ask him anything about it,
since he'd never come
to me wanting to talk.
That's just how things were
between us as we approached
the first day of
our internships.
[AIZAWA] Everyone has
their costumes, right?
Remember, you don't
have permission
to wear them out in public yet,
and don't lose them or anything.
Gotcha!
[AIZAWA] Speak properly!
It's "Yes, sir," Ashido.
[ASHIDO]
Yes, sir.
Make sure you mind your manners
with the other heroes
during your internships.
Now get to it.
[STUDENTS]
Yes, sir!
[IZUKU]
Iida, wait!
Hey, if you ever wanna
talk or anything,
just let us know.
[OCHACO]
Mm-hm! Mm-hm!
[IZUKU]
We're friends, right?
Yes.
[IZUKU]
In that moment,
I should have tried harder to
find out how he was feeling.
In the days to come,
I would regret not
being there for him.
[IZUKU] Wow. A hero even
All Might is afraid of.
[IZUKU]
Gran Torino.
I've never heard
of this guy before.
But he must be incredible!
Yup. Probably super amazing.
[IZUKU] Well, this is
the right address, but...
[knocking]
Hello, I'm here from UA High.
It's Izuku Midoriya. I'm
really looking forward to--
[IZUKU gasping]
[screams]
Holy whoa, he's dead!
I'm alive!
[screams] He's alive!
[sighs]
[IZUKU]
Now, the preview!
For my internship,
I'm going to be studying
under the man who was once
All Might's teacher.
His name is Gran Torino,
and he's, uh, well...
[GRAN TORINO]
Who are you, kid?
[IZUKU]
I'm Izuku Midoriya from UA!
I know we'll have a
great week together.
[GRAN TORINO]
Who are you?
[IZUKU]
Like I said--
[GRAN TORINO]
Toshinori!
[IZUKU]
No!
[GRAN TORINO]
So, who are you?
[IZUKU] Ah! This conversation's
not going anywhere.
But there's no time to waste,
so I have to keep going at it.
Next time: "Bizarre!
Gran Torino Appears"!
Go beyond!
[GRAN TORINO]
Plus Ultra!
[IZUKU gasps]
