"Class A" "Class B"
U.A. High School hero course
Class 1-A and Class 1-B's team combat training.
In the first match,
Shinso's Quirk succeeded in disrupting the Class B team's teamwork.
It ended with a win for the Class A team.
"Pro Hero - Shota Aizawa - Quirk: Erasure"
Talk about what you learned or would have done differently.
If I'm not trying to brawl with my opponent,
it's hard for my Quirk to be useful.
If this were the real thing,
I would've been killed when Shiozaki caught me.
"Eijiro Kirishima - Quirk: Hardening"
"Koji Koda - Quirk: Anivoice"
I need to be able to give more detailed instructions to the bugs.
I did great, right?
"Denki Kaminari - Quirk: Electrification"
Didn't I make you love me? Go ahead and love me!
It's fine, love isn't something you can control! Go ahead, it's fine!
"Tsuyu Asui - Quirk: Frog"
Koda and Kirishima... Losing those two.
I wish we could've won without losing anyone.
We were all over the place.
The binding cloth.
Ribbit?
I couldn't even use a tenth of what I'd learned.
"Hitoshi Shinso - Quirk: Brainwashing"
It was frustrating.
If you could do it right away, then you wouldn't have to work hard.
It took me six years to master that.
Don't forget that frustration when you move on.
Yes, sir.
"Yuga Aoyama - Quirk: Navel Laser"
The two who went on work studies have serious reflections.
Isn't that what you'd expect?
"Hanta Sero - Quirk: Tape"
The Shie... Hassaikai, was it?
I heard it was a pretty intense fight.
If you experience fighting like that
even if it's just training, your frame of mind,
or like, motivation would be different.
Compared to that...
Jamming-yay's chaotic actions felt out of place...
Listen.
Kirishima, you should focus on setting up your opponent for a head-on fight.
Yes, sir!
Koda, it's exactly what you think.
You should increase the accuracy with which you control the animals.
Don't fight from the front. Think about your enemy's weakness.
Kaminari! You weren't fighting seriously at the beginning!
Are you unable to use your true strength unless your teammates get beaten?
Yay...
Asui.
Think about how to cover for a mistake quickly rather than about your mistakes.
Ribbit.
Use what you learned today in your training from now on.
That's all!
--Yes, sir! --Yes, sir. --Yay! --Ribbit.
Even though he won, he is painfully aware of his own inexperience.
But instead of getting depressed,
to get ready for his next match,
he's replaying the match in his head to find ways to improve.
"Pro Hero - Midnight - Quirk: Somnambulist"
It's great! Shinso's freshness!
"Pro Hero - All Might - Quirk: One For All"
You know what...
"Pro Hero - Vlad King - Quirk: Blood Control"
The reason you lost...
You already know, right?
"Jurota Shishida - Quirk: Beast"
Using Shishida as the focal point...
"Ibara Shiozaki - Quirk: Vines"
Or using Shiozaki...
If you'd only come together as a team, you could've won this match!
Mr. Vlad's eyes are scary...
"Neito Monoma - Quirk: Copy"
Shiozaki cannot deceive others.
That consideration backfired, didn't it? Shishida.
Monoma...
It resulted in us giving the opponents time to prepare...
Sorry, Shiozaki.
Burned by the flames of Hell...
Well, anyway, you showed me something good.
I'm looking forward to fighting with him.
Hey, Shinso!
Let's come up with a plan to make Class A cry!
Something that'll shut them up!
"Izuku Midoriya - Quirk: One For All" "Minoru Mineta - Quirk: Pop Off"
He's talking by himself...
We should come up with a plan, too!
Let's brainstorm some ideas about what we can do right now.
--All right! --Let's make a combo! Like a finishing move in a game!
Let's decide what plan we'll use, too.
Should we move around Todoroki as our focal point?
Me?
I think that's a good idea.
Bakugo! Let's think of a plan, too.
"Katsuki Bakugo - Quirk: Explosion"
You bastards! Don't get in my way!
Ugh...
"Ochaco Uraraka - Quirk: Zero Gravity"
We'll be up against Shinso in the fifth match.
Yeah, yeah.
His voice modifier's a threat.
"Mina Ashido - Quirk: Acid"
Sticky Acid Floating Kick!
What the heck kind of move is that?!
It's a complex area that's easy to hide in...
It'll be a pain trying to find the enemy.
Leave it to me!
It's mine! By me! For me!
"Mashirao Ojiro - Quirk: Tail"
We'll use Iida as our trump card when it counts.
"Tenya Iida - Quirk: Engine"
Before that, there's something I wanted to tell you about my Recipro.
Instant-Kill Floating Ball!
What the heck is that supposed to be?!
Injured students should go to the nurse's office.
Humans are inferior beings whose parts cannot be replaced.
This! This is it!
Oh, to be in the springtime of life!
It's winter, though.
It's the end of the year already...
Everyone's been working on developing their Quirks and ultimate moves...
Young Midoriya, too, has become better at using One For All
and learned Shoot Style and Air Force...
There was the provisional licensing exam...
The fight against the Shie Hassaikai...
The school festival...
In the midst of all those events and troubles,
they pushed on earnestly.
Here is their chance to compare themselves to those around them--
To understand their current position...
This class is like a kind of dress rehearsal.
All Might.
What did you think of Shinso?
He's great!
He's not shy.
The fact that the first emotion he felt was "frustration" is wonderful.
This could be called his test to transfer into the hero course.
He will probably be really fired up for his next match.
Vlad, shall we move on?
Then...
Teams in the second match,
get ready...!
"Operation New Improv Moves"
Yaoyorozu--
Yes, Kendo?
Why didn't you enter the beauty pageant?
I thought you'd definitely be in it.
"Momo Yaoyorozu - Quirk: Creation"
Mr. Aizawa did not tell us about the beauty pageant.
I had band practice, as well,
so I would not have been able to enter anyway, though.
Mr. Aizawa must have judged that it was not necessary for me to enter.
"Itsuka Kendo - Quirk: Big Fist"
We were in that commercial together at the internship,
so we've kind of been put in the same category, you know?
It's like there are fans that put us in the same box.
The same box?
It's like when someone likes all the idols in a group.
"Toru Hagakure - Quirk: Invisibility"
At the school festival, the same people were shouting
"Yaoyorozu" and "Kendo," right?
Oh, now that you mention it...
"Fumikage Tokoyami - Quirk: Dark Shadow"
Idola.
Idol worship.
It's like...
Yaoyorozu, your grades and your Quirk are both better than mine,
so I didn't really like getting lumped together with you.
Personally, I've been wanting to fight you properly.
With all my heart...
I accept.
Tokoyami,
you're the same type as me...
Shihai Kuroiro...
Your Quirk lets you merge with any darkness and move freely within it...
Right?
You and I share a destiny...
Oh?
You are also a supporter of the deep.
Live in eternal darkness.
Those two aren't twinkling at all, huh?
Both teams are ready...
And now...
Go, Kendo Team! Start the second match!
Stop the biased commentary!
"Against biased commentary!"
Stop!
"Against biased commentary!" "Mr. Vlad should comment impartially!"
All right!
Let's go!
Yeah!
What kind of role does Kendo play in Class B?
Hey! She gets the job done!
So loud!
"Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu - Quirk: Steel"
'Cause she's the class rep!
She's smart and makes quick decisions calmly!
She's also brave, risking herself on the front lines when it counts!
And she brings the class together with her cheerful personality!
Without her, all of Class B would've been taken in by Monoma!
Hey, don't say it like that.
She's Class B's big sister!
That's the woman called Itsuka Kendo!
"Shoto Todoroki - Quirk: Half-Cold Half-Hot"
I wonder if Yaoyorozu's operation will work...
Operation?
Please scout, as planned, Tokoyami!
Roger.
Dark Shadow!
Got it!
Report back when you find the enemy.
Leave it to me!
We pretty much know each other's Quirks,
but we've been improving on them and making new moves,
so they could get us with something we don't know about.
That's why, first--
We should take a wait-and-see approach!
Dark Shadow's found the enemy.
Under that chimney, on this side.
Let's go!
Don't just "wait-and-see"!
I'll get those I can get now!
I'll leave it to you,
Kuroiro!
I'm off.
You're able to let Dark Shadow go pretty far now, huh?
Did you level up at your work study, too?
I wonder. The farther away Dark Shadow is, the less time he lasts.
Oh, he's back.
Huh?
Everyone, get away!
Tokoyami?!
What is it? What's going on?
Fumikage...
He... He got me...!
Dark Shadow?! Why?
Is he out of control?
No...
...it's not so dark there that Tokoyami can't control him.
Could Dark Shadow be being controlled?
Is it someone from Class B's Quirk?
W-Wait...
Hagakure, light!
Okie dokie!
Warp Refraction: Say Cheese!
Come back...
Dark Shadow!
Kuroiro was inside Dark Shadow!
He disappeared!
He merged with the shadows.
So that's Kuroiro's...
"Shihai Kuroiro - Quirk: Dark"
Class B's Shihai Kuroiro. Quirk: Dark.
He can melt into any darkness.
And by developing his Quirk, he became able to move that darkness!
But it has to be something that can be moved!
Fumikage Tokoyami...
I'll vanquish you.
You and I share a destiny...
I see. We're destined to be rivals.
Very well.
I'll accept your challenge with the move I invented while I was with Hawks,
Dark Fallen Angel.
"Fallen angel"...?
That's right... Dark Fallen Angel.
"Affiliation: U.A. High School Hero Class 1-A" "Birthday: 10/30" "Height: 158 cm" "Blood Type: AB" "Likes: Apples"
"Fumikage Tokoyami" "Quirk: Dark Shadow" "He has a shadow-like monster inside him that can change shape elastically and fight with him."
"Affiliation: Pro Hero" "Birthday: 12/28" "Height: 172 cm" "Blood Type: B" "Likes: Yakitori"
"Hawks" "Quirk: Fierce Wings" "He can manipulate the feathers on his back at will. He can also shoot or transform them."
"A few months ago - Kyushu Area"
He ends up taking care of things by himself.
Not synthetic. Natural diamonds!
If I've got this much, I could easily get 300,000,000--
Right, I'll take that.
H-Hawks!
You guys are too slow.
There's a bar in Kantina that has some rowdy patrons, so I'm going there next.
I'll leave the paperwork to you!
Tsukuyomi.
Us sidekicks will take care of this guy.
Because Hawks is too fast.
But this is the most efficient...
I'm going after him.
Tsukuyomi?
He's real eager, huh?
Apparently, it was the first time Hawks made an offer after the sports festival.
At the internship, I chased after him single-mindedly,
and all I could do was clean-up after the incidents he resolved.
Questions arose in me.
I can't let things get worse while I wait for you guys, right?
Then, why did you ask for me?
We're birds of a feather.
Is that a joke?
No, I'm 20% serious.
Half the reason was because I wanted to talk to someone from Class 1-A.
About those thugs from the League of Villains who attacked you guys.
And if I was going through the trouble,
then I thought I'd get someone good who could keep up with me.
So from the top finishers at the U.A. sports festival,
I chose the bird-like one who seemed like he'd be good.
First, will you tell me about the attack on USJ?
As I told him about the details of the USJ attack,
my frustration started to simmer.
I'm not a messenger bird.
My weeklong internship ended without me learning anything.
Hey, hey, how was Kyushu?
Nothing...
...special...
And then for the work study,
he took me on again.
Between the internship and the work study,
U.A. also did various things.
You probably want to hear about those things, don't you, Hawks?
Don't look down on me, number three... no, number two hero!
That Tsukuyomi's going all out!
He's got potential, huh?
Oh?
--Good work today. --Good work today.
Tokoyami, do you have a minute?
What do you want me to talk about now?
It's not about that.
H-Hawks!
We've become the wind!
Is this your first time flying?
I asked for you 20% because we're birds of a feather
and 50% because I wanted to hear about the League.
The last 30% was because I thought you were wasting your potential.
You know, the sky's great.
You can get a bird's-eye view of everything.
You thought I was wasting my potential?
It's good to put effort into covering your short-range weakness,
but you shouldn't forget about developing what you're good at.
You can move more freely.
I'm not interested in training the next generation or anything,
but... we're birds of a feather, right?
The ones who can fly, should fly.
There's no need to be confined to the ground.
I'll accept your challenge with the move I invented while I was with Hawks,
Dark Fallen Angel.
Dark Fallen Angel?
I like the sound of that.
Show me what you've got!
He's moving inside the shadows!
Another individual attack...
This is unexpected!
I didn't think they'd do the same thing as the first match!
A double bluff, huh?
Moreover,
on a stage with so many pipes,
it's impossible to pinpoint his location!
Tokoyami, are you okay?
Yeah.
Fumikage Tokoyami...
I'll vanquish you.
He's after me.
That's what you think, Class A.
You and I share a destiny...
An emotional trap set before the match even started!
The one I'm after is Fumikage Tokoyami!
That's probably what you think, but it's not true!
Scheming Hero: Vantadark.
This is how I do things!
Aoyama?!
Scheming...
Oh, how despicable...
Please drastically rethink what you're doing.
My speed! And this cramped, intricate stage!
Dark Shadow's connected by that umbilical cord, so he can't move easily.
Which means, there's no way for them to catch me!
Is that what you thought?
Dark Shadow...
Dark Fallen Angel!
He's flying?!
Tokoyami's...?
New move!
How is he flying?!
The principle behind it is easy!
Dark Shadow is always floating,
so he could hold onto Tokoyami and move, too!
And by covering himself with a cape,
he could block the light that's his weakness
and continuously keep a high output!
And with that hold, Tokoyami's hands remain free!
Dark Shadow floats!
It's a truth so obvious that we all missed it,
but he's focusing on it and applying it!
It's as simple as Columbus's egg idea!
Amazing! You're amazing, Tokoyami!
...you shouldn't forget about developing what you're good at.
Hawks, I thank you.
I will go even higher!
Rendezvous-ooh-ooh, rendezvous!
Plan A failed...
Aoyama, your Navel Buffet!
Tokoyami, fly as you will!
Dark Shadow, put on the cloak!
Got it!
I'll change the shape of the shadows!
Navel Buffet!
There he is, Hagakure!
All right, I'll get him!
That's as far as you'll go!
We won't let you escape!
I can't believe you launched a surprise attack alone.
But, even unexpected circumstances
are within expectations for me!
"Within expectations," huh?
Wait!
You don't know when to give up, do you?
M-Mushrooms?!
As expected,
Kendo's better than you.
It's just as Kendo said.
If there's light, then Kuroiro's plan A failed.
Start plan B...
I'll cover everything with mushrooms!
"Preview"
Here's the preview!
Class A tries to fight back,
but with Class B's Komori and Fukidashi and their wide-range attacks,
they lose their formation advantage again.
On top of that, Yaoyorozu gets separated.
What will you do, Class A team?!
Next time, "Foresight."
Yaoyorozu predicts the progress of their fight
and creates in order to win!
Go beyond!
"Next time: Foresight"
Plus Ultra!
