05x14 - (D) Off to Endeavor's Agency!
Posted: 03/27/23 10:53
[DABI]
Hawks.
What happened the other
day was unfortunate.
Yeah, agreed.
Most the problems coulda
been avoided though
if you'd just given
me a heads up.
[HAWKS] I get that plans change,
but I would've liked
to have dealt with things
a little more efficiently.
[DABI] You're talking too much.
You can't trace this call.
[HAWKS]
Gimme a break.
You gotta have more
faith in me than that.
[GIRL A squeals]
Look!
Hawks is on the phone!
[GIRL B]
Who's he talking to?
His girlfriend?
[HAWKS]
It's a secret!
[GIRLS]
Who is she, Hawks?
All I want's for you
to believe in me.
I work with pros every day
and there's one thing
I know for certain.
The profession of "hero"
needs to be done away with.
[HAWKS]
No way you can cast me aside.
You're reaching out
to me like this
because you know how
much I'm worth to you.
For now I'll keep playing
the fool, then you'll focus
more on how I can help you
than the risks I may pose.
It's in your interest
to make good use of me.
[DABI]
This is your last chance.
[HAWKS]
Knew it.
[DABI] I'll have you
show your loyalty.
Not just to the
League of Villains,
but the entire the
anti-establishment cause.
Make it someone other than
the number-one hero this time.
[HAWKS]
Dabi contacted me again.
He's still not convinced
I'm on his side.
My guess is someone's observing
me and my conversations.
It'd be smart to send
everything in code from now on.
I'll pinpoint the location of
the Nomus as soon as I can.
That's all. I'm off.
[BEST JEANIST] It's unusual
for you to come visit me.
How are you holdin'
up these days?
[BEST JEANIST]
Much better. Thanks.
Why didn't you just ask
that ancient nurse at UA
to help out with your recovery?
[BEST JEANIST] She can't restore
what's been taken away,
and I lost a lung
in that battle.
But fortunately, it's possible
for humans to live
with only one of them.
What about your hero work?
[BEST JEANIST] I plan to return
to the public eye soon.
There are many eager for me
to be on the streets again.
You don't say.
[HAWKS]
I'm sorry to hear that.
[HAWKS]
This doesn't feel right.
It's past our meeting time and
I still can't get a hold of him.
Nothing on the Hero Network
about the League
being spotted either,
so there shouldn't
be a holdup or anything.
Did something happen?
Did I do something wrong?
This change in behavior
is unnerving.
I don't like it.
[HAWKS] I can't start
doubting my resolve
on the last day of the year.
[IZUKU]
New Year's Eve!
I'd thought it might be out of
the question for us to go home
since we moved to the dorms.
But thanks to escorts from
pro heroes, we were able
to spend the night celebrating
with the people we cared about.
Thanks to Uraraka and Shinso,
it turned out fine,
but that dark energy was scary!
You should've scene it explo--
--[IZUKU'S MOM sobs]
--[IZUKU] Mom?
[IZUKU'S MOM] My heart hurts
to hear you say such things.
[sighs]
[IZUKU]
Oh, uh! By the way!
Huh?
Remember that girl
I told you about?
Eri, the one we rescued.
[IZUKU'S MOM]
I do.
Well, look here.
She wrote me the nicest letter!
Isn't that cool?
She did it while practicing
her spelling and stuff.
Honestly, I couldn't help her
as much as I'd have liked to.
But she did her best
writing this for me.
I think it's incredible.
Mom, come on!
The Koike family downstairs
will think there's a leak!
Ever since you were little,
you've been trying
to copy All Might.
Saying you'd save people even
though you weren't that strong.
Even if you got hurt.
If there's one thought
I've had more than any other,
it's that, as a mother,
I have to protect my son.
That's gone through
my head so often.
But talking to you like this...
Seeing that look on your face...
I don't think I'll
worry as much anymore.
I'm glad.
[IZUKU, IZUKU'S MOM sobbing]
[IZUKU] Just like that,
a new year began.
[IZUKU'S MOM]
You have everything?
[IZUKU]
Mm-hm.
Promise me you'll
take care of yourself?
Yep!
And text as much as you can.
Give your all at your
work study, 'kay?
I promise, Mom.
[IZUKU]
Endeavor's agency awaited.
What's up, I'm back.
[SLIDIN' GO] Oh? I didn't
realize you'd flown off
somewhere, Number Two.
[HAWKS]
Yeah, sorry. Gabbed a coffee.
The stuff here
tastes like sewage.
[SLIDIN' GO] You can't keep
comin' and goin' as you like!
You should get permission
for whatever you do.
[HAWKS]
Ugh.
[SLIDIN' GO] Don't forget,
I outrank you here, Hawks!
Got it?
[HAWKS]
Sir!
[CHIKAZOKU] Outrank?
Are you sure about that?
[SLIDIN' GO]
Huh?
[CHIKAZOKU] It's my first time
hearing such a thing.
Then, you must also be
in a position to obtain
classified information
from influential heroes.
Well, sort of.
[CHIKAZOKU]
Current locations! Call records!
Real-time feeds
of conversations!
Hawks provides these.
Thanks to the countless micro
devices installed in his wings,
we'll expose everything
about the heroes.
[CHIKAZOKU] A grunt like
you can off us a peek
at the Hero Network at best.
But as the number-two hero,
Hawks can go much deeper!
He's a valued asset.
I was watching you
the whole time.
You almost bought black
coffee and freaked out.
What can I say,
I like it sweet.
Welcome to the
Endeavor Agency.
I can't believe I
have to train you.
[ENDEAVOR] I gave my permission
reluctantly as a favor to Shoto,
but I wish he'd come on his own.
[TODOROKI] It's already
done, so don't complain.
[ENDEAVOR]
Wha-- Shoto!
I've been thinking since
supplementary lessons.
You're a jerk.
[ENDEAVOR] Son, are you really
friends with this deliquent?
[KATSUKI] But, if I can see
how the top hero works,
I don't really care.
[ENDEAVOR] I told you to
choose your allies wisely!
We appreciate you allowing us
to do our work studies
with you, sir.
[IZUKU]
Flame Hero, Endeavor.
Currently the top pro.
His intensity and intimidation
make him stand out.
My strongest impression of him
is from the sports fest.
I generally think
he's a scary guy.
But something
about him's changed.
[ALL MIGHT]
Joining Endeavor, huh?
All three of you?
That sounds perfect!
It's a great opportunity.
What should we do about
my One For All training, though?
I think it's going smoothly
for the time being.
Sure, you have Blackwhip
to deal with now.
But you haven't felt any other
Quirks manifesting, right?
If you can visualize the locking
and unlocking properly,
I don't think you need to worry
about it getting out
of control again.
Right.
If I were you, I'd try
to bust all of 'em out.
Well, uh...
[ALL MIGHT] This is good timing
for you, too, Young Bakugo.
Huh?
I'd say you and Endeavor
are similar in many ways.
It'll be worthwhile for you
to see what he's really like.
He appears to be transforming.
Do your best.
If you two wanna be top heroes,
this is a solid next step!
We'll do our best to
learn from you, sir!
It's an honor to work with
the number-one hero!
Shoto is not me.
You said that.
Sorry about this.
But I only intend
to look after my son.
If you wanna learn,
then stand back and watch!
What are your instructions!
Like I said. Just stand back!
[STARSERVANT] I have received
a divine revelation
from the universe!
Run. Flee this place, citizens!
The corners of Pluto's mouth
twist with loneliness!
The hour of your demise
is nigh at hand.
[HAWKS] Well, dang.
This is crappy timing.
[BOTH grunt]
He ordered us to hold back.
We can't watch if
we don't follow him.
[IZUKU] Endeavor started running
before the sound of the impact.
It's not just a
matter of being fast!
[STARSERVANT] The universe has
whispered into my brain.
The wicked stars are colluding!
They must be stopped at once!
[OFFICE WORKER AA]
That's the Servant of the Stars
from the second ward.
[OFFICE WORKER A] What's he
yelling about so early?
[STARSERVANT] This land will
soon be devoured by darkness.
[OFFICE WORKERS yelp]
[OFFICE WORKER A]
He's sucking up all the glass!
Are there any heroes
around here to help us?
[STARSERVANT] Run, citizens!
For it is I who must act.
And destroy the source
of this rottenness.
[STARSERVANT]
No more hiding.
Come forth!
Show yourself,
Messenger of Pluto!
[STARSERVANT grunts]
[ENDEAVOR]
Flashfire Fist.
[ENDEAVOR]
You control glass, old man?
You show great skill.
Why create such chaos?
I'm afraid I can't let
you get away with this.
[STARSERVANT screams]
My throat is burning!
[LOCAL HERO A]
Endeavor!
[ENDEAVOR]
Handle evacuations.
[STARSERVANT]
Do it.
Sir!
[HAWKS]
Huh? What's this?
Got yourself some followers.
It's Hawks!
[HAWKS] Sorry, I was just
a little faster than you.
I thought Endeavor might
need a bit of help out here.
Does it look like
I was in trouble?
I mean kinda.
What do you think, kid?
Oh. Um.
I said to warn me
before showing up.
[HAWKS] Didn't have time.
I was already in the area.
[UNDERLING A] We were just
following Starservant's orders!
[UNDERLING B]
We couldn't disobey him!
[STARSERVANT]
Let go!
If you don't release me
to my duties, all is lost!
[LOCAL HERO A] Don't worry.
I'll take over from here.
Sounds good.
[STARSERVANT]
Him! He's the source!
The fire he gives
off blinds you!
He will be the demise
of our world!
You got it done with
no casualties again.
As long as we have
you to protect us,
this town will know peace, sir.
[gasps] Nice to meet you, sir.
I'm from UA High's
hero course.
I'm in Class -A.
My name is Izuku Midoriya!
[HAWKS] Yeah. You're the kid
who destroys his fingers.
I've heard about you
from Tsukuyomi.
Man, I was hopin' I'd get
to work with him again soon,
but not today.
[IZUKU]
Where is Tokoyami?
Isn't he continuing his
work study at your Agency?
I've pawned him off
on my sidekicks
to train for the moment.
I feel bad, but I've got
a ton of stuff on my plate
and don't have time for him.
You may be quick, but I
was still faster than you.
[HAWKS]
Really? Hm.
Well? What is it
you want, Hawks?
[HAWKS] Oh. Nothing much.
Actually, I do have a question.
You happen to have
read this book?
[IZUKU]
Meta Liberation w*r?
What is this about?
[HAWKS] Eh, it's gotten
really popular recently.
It was written a while back,
but it has predictions
about the future that seem
pretty relevant today.
Like this passage.
"If you grant freedom to
a limited number of people,
then the burdens of the world
will go to the others."
I highlighted some parts
if you don't have time
to plow through the whole thing.
I suggest you read those.
The leader of the
Meta Liberation Army
was named Destro. What he wanted
was a society upheld
by personal responsibility!
Trendy idea lately.
Sorry to beat around
the bush here, man.
And your point is?
[HAWKS]
If that comes to fruition,
we'll have too much
time on our hands.
I'm probably being watched,
so I can only tell
you like this.
Please, understand
my message, Number One!
[HAWKS] I just wanna take it
easy and have some fun.
My goal is to make this
a world where heroes
have too much time
on their hands.
[ENDEAVOR] Why do I feel as
though something's not right?
[ENDEAVOR]
That look on his face.
What does it mean?
Make sure you read
through it, okay?
A book that Hawks is pushing?
I should check it out, too.
Maybe the secret to his speed
is hidden inside of it!
Here you go! I brought
extras just in case!
[IZUKU] So prepared!
Where did they come from?
Train hard!
It's the age of
the number-two pro!
If you want speed,
the power to predict what's
coming helps you get it.
He's even too fast
at passing them out!
You really love this
book, I guess, huh?
You've got so many copies of it.
He's trying to spread the word!
[HAWKS]
That's right!
I've been recommending it
to heroes across the country.
You watch. By the
time I'm though,
there will be a groundwork
for the liberation ideology.
You should at least look over
the highlighted lines.
Read them closely.
I recommend the second part.
[HAWKS] Do your best with the
work studies, all four of you!
[CHAIRWOMAN] Train your work
study students thoroughly,
Endeavor.
He may seem super carefree,
but I guess he's actually
socially conscious.
And only years old!
And already the
number-two hero.
That guy's annoying!
Yes. He is.
Upheld by personal
responsibility!
[BURNIN]
Welcome to the Endeavor Agency!
[GROUP]
Call us the Flaming Sidekickers!
[IZUKU] Holy whoa, it's the
famous sidekick, Burnin!
First work study for
two of you, huh?
We'll get you whipped
into shape in no time here.
You're gonna learn a lot!
This agency is totally different
than classroom you're used to.
This is a gigantic operation!
We've got more than
sidekicks employed!
In other words, you're gonna
have to work hard to shine here!
Sorry.
You don't say!
So we'll just have to beat
the pros at their own game.
You can try.
[KIDO] And Shoto, you won't
get special treatment
'cause you're the boss's kid.
Just try to keep up
with us if you can!
There's a new dispatch request.
Where is it?
[OPERATOR AA]
Area .
[OPERATOR A] Contact the
patrol team immediately!
[SIDEKICK B]
It's too far from them.
We should go now!
[IZUKU]
There's so much going on!
[KIDO]
It is the number-one agency.
Never a dull moment
around these parts.
We get dispatch calls,
patrol jobs.
Not to mention events.
Over different requests
filter through this office
on any given day.
Then why are we just
standing around here
when we could be working?
I'm still ticked off
that damn bird rushed in
and stole my thunder!
Wait, are you
talking about Hawks?
[KIDO]
You got a fiery spirit.
But wait for Endeavor's
orders, okay?
You said there were over
requests, right?
--Send us out somewhere!
--[IZUKU] Kacchan!
[IZUKU]
Please, it's our first day!
[ENDEAVOR]
It makes no sense.
[HAWKS]
Now that you're number one,
I want you to be
a dependable leader.
You gotta stand proud,
Endeavor, and tell everyone
that there's nothing
for them to worry about.
[ENDEAVOR]
Why did he sound so different?
Upheld by personal
responsibility!
Trendy idea lately.
It's like he was completely
negating everything from before.
He usually has that vapid smile,
saying whatever comes to mind.
But earlier, he wasn't
joking around at all.
[ENDEAVOR]
Why the change?
[HAWKS] You should at least look
over the highlighted lines.
Read them closely.
I recommend the second part.
[ENDEAVOR]
It didn't even sound like him.
There's something he can't say.
So he's trying to get
information across another way.
[ENDEAVOR]
"The second part."
[ENDEAVOR gasps]
[ENDEAVOR]
That's it!
The second word from
each highlighted part.
They're connected.
[HAWKS] I'm sure the
commission has deciphered
my encrypted code.
I just hope Endeavor
picks up on it.
Maybe I shoulda figured out
something easier for him.
With the number of
heroes secretly joining
the liberation front,
the commission won't want
anything I've discovered
to be made public.
Can't believe I made
"serious eyes" at him
to try to get him
to pay attention.
Had no choice, though.
Don't have too many ways
I can communicate right now.
[ENDEAVOR]
"The enemy..."
[ENDEAVOR]
"...is the liberation army.
They number..."
[ENDEAVOR]
"...over , ."
[ENDEAVOR]
"In four months..."
[HAWKS] In four months,
we need to be prepared.
Because that's when they strike.
[IZUKU]
Here's the preview!
As we continue our work studies
at Endeavor's Agency.
Kacchan, Todoroki, and I
face the weaknesses
each of us have to work on.
I need learn to control
my power and to be able
to perform at my best,
no matter the situation.
It's okay to go slowly as
long as I'm moving forward.
Next time:
"One Thing at a Time."
This is a crucial step
in me becoming
the greatest hero in the world!
Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
Hawks.
What happened the other
day was unfortunate.
Yeah, agreed.
Most the problems coulda
been avoided though
if you'd just given
me a heads up.
[HAWKS] I get that plans change,
but I would've liked
to have dealt with things
a little more efficiently.
[DABI] You're talking too much.
You can't trace this call.
[HAWKS]
Gimme a break.
You gotta have more
faith in me than that.
[GIRL A squeals]
Look!
Hawks is on the phone!
[GIRL B]
Who's he talking to?
His girlfriend?
[HAWKS]
It's a secret!
[GIRLS]
Who is she, Hawks?
All I want's for you
to believe in me.
I work with pros every day
and there's one thing
I know for certain.
The profession of "hero"
needs to be done away with.
[HAWKS]
No way you can cast me aside.
You're reaching out

much I'm worth to you.
For now I'll keep playing

more on how I can help you
than the risks I may pose.
It's in your interest
to make good use of me.
[DABI]
This is your last chance.

[DABI] I'll have you

Not just to the
League of Villains,
but the entire the
anti-establishment cause.

I'll pinpoint the location of

That's all. I'm off.

Endeavor's agency awaited.
What's up, I'm back.
[SLIDIN' GO] Oh? I didn't

[HAWKS]
Yeah, sorry. Gabbed a coffee.
The stuff here
tastes like sewage.
[SLIDIN' GO] You can't keep

You should get permission
for whatever you do.
[HAWKS]
Ugh.
[SLIDIN' GO] Don't forget,
I outrank you here, Hawks!
Got it?
[HAWKS]
Sir!
[CHIKAZOKU] Outrank?
Are you sure about that?
[SLIDIN' GO]
Huh?
[CHIKAZOKU] It's my first time
hearing such a thing.
Then, you must also be
in a position to obtain
classified information
from influential heroes.
Well, sort of.
[CHIKAZOKU]
Current locations! Call records!
Real-time feeds

Hawks provides these.

[OFFICE WORKER AA]
That's the Servant of the Stars
from the second ward.
[OFFICE WORKER A] What's he
yelling about so early?
[STARSERVANT] This land will
soon be devoured by darkness.
[OFFICE WORKERS yelp]
[OFFICE WORKER A]
He's sucking up all the glass!
Are there any heroes
around here to help us?
[STARSERVANT] Run, citizens!
For it is I who must act.
And destroy the source
of this rottenness.
[STARSERVANT]
No more hiding.
Come forth!
Show yourself,
Messenger of Pluto!
[STARSERVANT grunts]
[ENDEAVOR]
Flashfire Fist.
[ENDEAVOR]
You control glass, old man?
You show great skill.
Why create such chaos?
I'm afraid I can't let
you get away with this.
[STARSERVANT screams]
My throat is burning!
[LOCAL HERO A]
Endeavor!
[ENDEAVOR]
Handle evacuations.
[STARSERVANT]
Do it.
Sir!
[HAWKS]
Huh? What's this?
Got yourself some followers.
It's Hawks!
[HAWKS] Sorry, I was just
a little faster than you.
I thought Endeavor might
need a bit of help out here.
Does it look like
I was in trouble?
I mean kinda.
What do you think, kid?
Oh. Um.
I said to warn me
before showing up.
[HAWKS] Didn't have time.
I was already in the area.
[UNDERLING A] We were just
following Starservant's orders!
[UNDERLING B]
We couldn't disobey him!
[STARSERVANT]
Let go!
If you don't release me
to my duties, all is lost!
[LOCAL HERO A] Don't worry.
I'll take over from here.
Sounds good.
[STARSERVANT]
Him! He's the source!
The fire he gives
off blinds you!
He will be the demise
of our world!
You got it done with
no casualties again.
As long as we have
you to protect us,
this town will know peace, sir.
[gasps] Nice to meet you, sir.
I'm from UA High's
hero course.
I'm in Class -A.
My name is Izuku Midoriya!
[HAWKS] Yeah. You're the kid
who destroys his fingers.
I've heard about you
from Tsukuyomi.
Man, I was hopin' I'd get
to work with him again soon,
but not today.
[IZUKU]
Where is Tokoyami?
Isn't he continuing his
work study at your Agency?
I've pawned him off
on my sidekicks
to train for the moment.
I feel bad, but I've got
a ton of stuff on my plate
and don't have time for him.
You may be quick, but I
was still faster than you.
[HAWKS]
Really? Hm.
Well? What is it
you want, Hawks?
[HAWKS] Oh. Nothing much.
Actually, I do have a question.
You happen to have
read this book?
[IZUKU]
Meta Liberation w*r?
What is this about?
[HAWKS] Eh, it's gotten
really popular recently.
It was written a while back,
but it has predictions
about the future that seem
pretty relevant today.
Like this passage.
"If you grant freedom to
a limited number of people,
then the burdens of the world
will go to the others."
I highlighted some parts
if you don't have time
to plow through the whole thing.
I suggest you read those.
The leader of the
Meta Liberation Army
was named Destro. What he wanted
was a society upheld
by personal responsibility!
Trendy idea lately.
Sorry to beat around
the bush here, man.
And your point is?
[HAWKS]
If that comes to fruition,
we'll have too much
time on our hands.
I'm probably being watched,
so I can only tell
you like this.
Please, understand
my message, Number One!
[HAWKS] I just wanna take it
easy and have some fun.
My goal is to make this
a world where heroes
have too much time
on their hands.
[ENDEAVOR] Why do I feel as
though something's not right?
[ENDEAVOR]
That look on his face.
What does it mean?
Make sure you read
through it, okay?
A book that Hawks is pushing?
I should check it out, too.
Maybe the secret to his speed
is hidden inside of it!
Here you go! I brought
extras just in case!
[IZUKU] So prepared!
Where did they come from?
Train hard!
It's the age of
the number-two pro!
If you want speed,
the power to predict what's
coming helps you get it.
He's even too fast
at passing them out!
You really love this
book, I guess, huh?
You've got so many copies of it.
He's trying to spread the word!
[HAWKS]
That's right!
I've been recommending it
to heroes across the country.
You watch. By the
time I'm though,
there will be a groundwork
for the liberation ideology.
You should at least look over
the highlighted lines.
Read them closely.
I recommend the second part.
[HAWKS] Do your best with the
work studies, all four of you!
[CHAIRWOMAN] Train your work
study students thoroughly,
Endeavor.
He may seem super carefree,
but I guess he's actually
socially conscious.
And only years old!
And already the
number-two hero.
That guy's annoying!
Yes. He is.
Upheld by personal
responsibility!
[BURNIN]
Welcome to the Endeavor Agency!
[GROUP]
Call us the Flaming Sidekickers!
[IZUKU] Holy whoa, it's the
famous sidekick, Burnin!
First work study for
two of you, huh?
We'll get you whipped
into shape in no time here.
You're gonna learn a lot!
This agency is totally different
than classroom you're used to.
This is a gigantic operation!
We've got more than
sidekicks employed!
In other words, you're gonna
have to work hard to shine here!
Sorry.
You don't say!
So we'll just have to beat
the pros at their own game.
You can try.
[KIDO] And Shoto, you won't
get special treatment
'cause you're the boss's kid.
Just try to keep up
with us if you can!
There's a new dispatch request.
Where is it?
[OPERATOR AA]
Area .
[OPERATOR A] Contact the
patrol team immediately!
[SIDEKICK B]
It's too far from them.
We should go now!
[IZUKU]
There's so much going on!
[KIDO]
It is the number-one agency.
Never a dull moment
around these parts.
We get dispatch calls,
patrol jobs.
Not to mention events.
Over different requests
filter through this office
on any given day.
Then why are we just
standing around here
when we could be working?
I'm still ticked off
that damn bird rushed in
and stole my thunder!
Wait, are you
talking about Hawks?
[KIDO]
You got a fiery spirit.
But wait for Endeavor's
orders, okay?
You said there were over
requests, right?
--Send us out somewhere!
--[IZUKU] Kacchan!
[IZUKU]
Please, it's our first day!
[ENDEAVOR]
It makes no sense.
[HAWKS]
Now that you're number one,
I want you to be
a dependable leader.
You gotta stand proud,
Endeavor, and tell everyone
that there's nothing
for them to worry about.
[ENDEAVOR]
Why did he sound so different?
Upheld by personal
responsibility!
Trendy idea lately.
It's like he was completely
negating everything from before.
He usually has that vapid smile,
saying whatever comes to mind.
But earlier, he wasn't
joking around at all.
[ENDEAVOR]
Why the change?
[HAWKS] You should at least look
over the highlighted lines.
Read them closely.
I recommend the second part.
[ENDEAVOR]
It didn't even sound like him.
There's something he can't say.
So he's trying to get
information across another way.
[ENDEAVOR]
"The second part."
[ENDEAVOR gasps]
[ENDEAVOR]
That's it!
The second word from
each highlighted part.
They're connected.
[HAWKS] I'm sure the
commission has deciphered
my encrypted code.
I just hope Endeavor
picks up on it.
Maybe I shoulda figured out
something easier for him.
With the number of
heroes secretly joining
the liberation front,
the commission won't want
anything I've discovered
to be made public.
Can't believe I made
"serious eyes" at him
to try to get him
to pay attention.
Had no choice, though.
Don't have too many ways
I can communicate right now.
[ENDEAVOR]
"The enemy..."
[ENDEAVOR]
"...is the liberation army.
They number..."
[ENDEAVOR]
"...over , ."
[ENDEAVOR]
"In four months..."
[HAWKS] In four months,
we need to be prepared.
Because that's when they strike.
[IZUKU]
Here's the preview!
As we continue our work studies
at Endeavor's Agency.
Kacchan, Todoroki, and I
face the weaknesses
each of us have to work on.
I need learn to control
my power and to be able
to perform at my best,
no matter the situation.
It's okay to go slowly as
long as I'm moving forward.
Next time:
"One Thing at a Time."
This is a crucial step
in me becoming
the greatest hero in the world!
Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
