My Hero Academia (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 13 - Time to Pick Some Names - full transcript

Following their epic debut at the sports festival, it's time for the first-years to pick the most important part of their identities-their hero name!

TATOOIN STATION

In the days off we had
after the sports festival,

we were to let our injuries recover,

and then we would start
regular classes again today.

That's what I thought, but…

Excuse me!

Midoriya from the hero class!

Good job at the sports festival!

-You were so close!
-Huh?

-You were in the top eight, right?
-You were so cool!

-He's smaller than I expected.
-He reminds me of when I was young.

Yeah, it's like he's trying really hard.

Do your best, hero!

I will!

It's only morning, but I'm already tired.

Good morning, Midoriya!

Iida?

Wearing a poncho and rain boots?

Why are you walking so slowly?

-You're going to be late!
-Late?

There are still five minutes
until the first bell.

U.A. students should always arrive
ten minutes early!

Iida, um…

If it's about my brother,
there is no need to worry.

I apologize for worrying you needlessly.

TIME TO PICK SOME NAMES

It's different when they broadcast
the matches on TV after all, huh?

So many people talked to me
on my way here!

Yeah, me too!

People were staring at me, too.
It was kind of embarrassing!

Isn't that normal for you, Hagakure?

I had some elementary schoolers
suddenly tell me "Don't worry about it."

Don't worry about it!

After just one day, we've suddenly been
thrust into the spotlight, huh?

U.A. really is amazing, huh?

Morning.

Good morning!

Ribbit?

Mr. Aizawa, your bandages are gone.

I'm glad.

The old lady went overboard
with her treatment.

More importantly, we're having
a special hero informatics class today.

Here it is!

"Special"?
Is it a quiz? I hope not…

I'm bad at laws relating
to heroes and stuff like that…

Code names.

You'll be coming up with hero names.

We're gonna do something exciting!

This is related to the pro hero
draft picks I mentioned the other day.

The drafts begin in earnest
in the second and third years,

after students have gained experience

and can become immediate assets
to the pros.

In other words, for them
to extend offers to first years like you

shows that they are interested
in your future potential.

These offers are often cancelled
if that interest dies down by graduation.

Adults are so selfish!

So we'll have to prove
ourselves once we get picked, huh?

That's right.

And here are the totals
for those with offers.

CLASS A NO. OF OFFERS
TODOROKI BAKUGO

TOKOYAMI IIDA

KAMINARI YAOYOROZU
KIRISHIMA URARAKA SERO

In other years, it's been more spread out,
but all eyes were on these two this year.

Gah, there's such a big difference!

Those pros don't know
a good thing when they see one!

Todoroki's first, and Bakugo's second?

It's the opposite of their placement
in the sports festival.

Some people are too scared
to ask for a guy

who had to be restrained on the podium.

What're the pros scared of?

You're amazing, Todoroki.

They're probably all because of my dad.

-Wow, we got offers!
-Yes, yes.

Midoriya, you didn't get any!

They're scared of you 'cause
of the crazy way you were fighting.

Yeah…

Keeping these results in mind,
whether or not anyone asked for you,

you will all be participating
in internships with pros.

Internships?

Yeah.

At USJ,

you already got
to experience combat with real villains,

but it will still be meaningful training
for you to see pros at work firsthand.

So that explains the hero names!

Things are suddenly getting
a lot more fun!

Well, those hero names
are still temporary,

but if you're not serious about it…

You'll have hell to pay later!

Because a lot of hero names used
by students become recognized by society,

and they end up becoming
professional hero names!

Midnight!

Well, that's how it is.

So Midnight will be making sure
your names are okay.

I can't do stuff like that.

IN SHOTA AIZAWA'S CASE

What? You haven't decided
on a hero name yet?

I don't want to be on the news,
so I don't care what name I have.

All right! Then…

You'll be Eraser Head!

I'll go with that, then.

When you give yourself a name,

you get a more concrete image
of what you want to be like in the future,

and you can get closer to it.

This is what it means when they say,
"Names and natures do often agree."

Like "All Might," for example.

All Might.

My hero name…

A name for what I want
to be like in the future, huh?

Okay, let's start presenting names
starting with those who are ready.

We're presenting these?

Man, that'll take some nerve…

Here I go…

"Shining Hero:

'I can not stop twinkling'"!

Which means, you can't stop my sparkles!

It's a sentence!

It'll be easier to use
if you take out the "I"

and shorten the "can not" to "can't."

You're right, mademoiselle.

It's okay?

Anyway, choose one English, or French!

Then, I'll go next!

Hero name, "Alien Queen"!

Two!

Are you trying for the thing
with acidic blood?

I wouldn't if I were you!

Dang it.

Idiot!

Since the first ones were weird,

it feels like we're supposed
to make them funny now!

Ribbit!

Then, may I go next?

Go ahead, Tsu.

I've had this in mind
ever since I was in elementary school.

"Rainy Season Hero: Froppy."

That's so cute!
It seems friendly. I like it!

It's a great example
of a name that everyone will love!

Froppy!

Thanks, Froppy!
You've brought things back to normal!

Then, I'll go too!

"Sturdy Hero: Red Riot"!

"Red Riot"?

You're paying homage to the Chivalrous
Hero: Crimson Riot, right?

Yes.

It's pretty old-fashioned, but the hero
image I'm going for is Crimson himself.

If you're bearing a name you admire,
it'll come with that much more pressure.

I'm prepared for that!

Kirishima's so cool.

Before I met All Might…

Hm? Your name after you become a hero?

Yeah! I can't decide which one to pick!

Let's see…

"Mighty All Man,"
"Mighty Boy," "All Might, Jr."

Junior!

"Mighty Man," "Captain All Might,"
"Super All Might"!

Super!

Super!

I grinned as I thought of names
that sounded like his.

But…

Now that I've been given his power
and am under his care,

I see just how big a difference
there is between us.

There's no way
I can take on a name like that.

Man, I haven't thought of a name yet…

Why don't I give you one?

How about "Jamming-yay"?

JAMMING-YAY
HEMING-WAY

It's like Hemingway,
who wrote A Farewell to Arms!

Sounds smart!

-It's cool!
-No…

It's because even though you're strong…

-Yay…
-…you always end up like that.

Hey, Jiro!

Stop messing with me!

"Hearing Hero: Earphone Jack."

That's good! Next!

"Tentacle Hero: Tentacole."

It's like tentacle
with some octopus thrown in!

"Taping Hero: Cellophane."

Nice and simple! That's important!

"Martial Arts Hero: Tailman."

Your name reflects your body!

"Sweets Hero: Sugarman"!

So sweet!

Pinky!

Peachy pink complexion!

"Stun Gun Hero: Chargebolt,"
combining "charge" with "lightning bolt"!

Oh, I feel tingly!

"Stealth Hero: Invisible Girl"!

That's great!

Come on, let's keep right on going!

I hope I will not bring shame
to this name.

"Everything Hero: Creati."

Creative!

"Shoto."

Your name? Is that okay?

Yeah.

"Jet-Black Hero: Tsukuyomi."

God of the night!

"Fresh-Picked Hero: Grape Juice"!

Pop and kitschy!

PETTING HERO: ANIMA

Okay, got it!

"King Explosion Murder."

You probably shouldn't use something
like that.

Why not?

You should be "Explosion Boy"!

Shut up, Weird Hair!

Okay, my turn…

This is what I thought of: "Uravity."

Sounds stylish!

Choosing hero names is going more smoothly
than I thought it would!

All that's left is Bakugo,
who needs to rethink his,

and Iida.

And Midoriya, right?

Tenya.

I wasn't sure if I wanted
to say anything yesterday,

but actually, I don't have
any feeling in my legs.

What? No way!

The hero, Ingenium,

will probably end here.

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

I don't like this!

I don't like this either…

That's why…

If you're up for it…

Will you take this name for me?

ING

I am still…

TENYA

You're using your first name, too?

Midoriya, are you ready?

Yes!

It's gotta be… this.

Midoriya?

Are you really okay with that?

You might be called that forever,
you know.

Yeah. I didn't like this name until now.

But someone changed the meaning of it,

and that had a huge impact on me.

It made me really happy.

My "Deku" isn't always going
to mean "useless"!

My "Deku" means "You can do it!"

This is my hero name!

DEKU

STAFF ROOM

Offers for the first years
are still coming.

There's one more.

Who's it for?

Midoriya.

Really? Who is it?

This person is…

"Lord Explosion Murder"!

No, that's still no good.

Now that everyone's decided
on their hero names,

we'll go back to talking about
the internships.

They will last for a week.

As for where you'll have them,

those who had offers from pros
will be given your own lists,

so you can choose from those yourself.

Those who didn't have offers will choose

from among forty agencies
around the country

that will be accepting our interns.

They all work in different places
and have different specialties.

For example,
Thirteen would be focused

on rescues from accidents
and disasters more than fighting villains.

-Think carefully before you choose.
-Yes, sir!

I want to fight crime in urban areas!

I hope I can intern
at a place with floods.

I wonder if there are any?

Turn in your choices before the weekend.

We've only got two days?

Make your decision efficiently.

Dismissed.

ENDEAVOR HERO AGENCY

LUNCHTIME

Hey guys,

have you decided
what pro agency you're going to yet?

I'm going to Mt. Lady!

Mineta, you're thinking about
something perverted, aren't you?

Of course not!

Ashido, you made it pretty far
in the tournament, too.

It's weird that you didn't get any offers.

You said it.

Deku, have you decided already?

There are only forty heroes
who'll take us,

so after looking up their specialties
and splitting them into groups…

It's practically an art!

Oh, sorry! I was lost in thought…

You're really thinking
carefully about this, huh?

Actually, I've already decided!

Really?

Where?

-Battle Hero: Gunhead's agency.
-Huh?

Gunhead's a huge battle type!

You're going there, Uraraka?

Yup! I got an offer from them!

Really?

I totally thought you were trying
to be a hero like Thirteen.

Ultimately, yes.

But fighting Bakugo
at the sports festival made me think...

The stronger I get,
the more possibilities I'll have!

If I only do what I want,
I'll have a narrower perspective!

I see.

More importantly, this has been
bothering me for a while, but…

You're trembling, aren't you?

Oh, this?

It's the air chair exercise.

Air chair?

Don't tell me you do that
all through class?

There's no way!

That's such an old-fashioned exercise.

What are you saying?

The isometric muscle contraction
of the air chair means

it's an easy way to train without moving!

Shut up…

I can't stay the way I am.

I need to be able
to control my Quirk more.

He who follows two hares catches neither.

Deku,

let's go home together.

-Okay.
-Iida, you too..

Huh?

He probably decided on where
he wants to do his internship

and went to turn it into the staff room.

I am here! In a bizarre position!

What's the matter?

Why are you in such a hurry?

Come with me for a moment.

Right…

Getting straight to the point,
you've got an offer from a hero!

Huh?

What? Really?

Yes. The hero's name is Gran Torino.

He was a teacher at U.A.
for only one year.

The man who was my homeroom teacher.

He knows about One For All, too.

In fact, he probably asked
for you because of that.

Someone that amazing is?

Wait, there was someone else
who knew about the Quirk?

Gran Torino was the sworn friend
of my predecessor.

He retired a long time ago,
so I forgot to count him…

Was it because I wrote of you
when I sent him the letter?

Or because he couldn't just stand by
and watch my inadequate teaching?

If he went so far as to use
his old name to make an offer…

It's scary… Too scary…

Stop trembling, legs!

All Might's seriously shaking!

Anyway, it is my duty to train you,

but since you got an offer, you should
go work to your heart's content…

Just how scary is this guy?

Internships, huh?

Yeah. A few already decided.

It's an important event.
Make sure they think about it properly.

There are some third years
that still have regrets about it.

Yeah…

CLASS 1-A - TENYA IIDA
DESIRED INTERNSHIP AGENCY

The agency Iida wants to go to…

I'm sure he had offers from better places.

HOSU CITY, TOKYO
NORMAL HERO: MANUAL AGENCY

A hero agency in Hosu…

Don't tell me…

What? You got an offer?

That's great, Deku!

Yeah.

IIDA

Did Iida go home before us?

Yeah.

After the sports festival,

I heard about what happened
to Iida's big brother on the news.

The incident involving Ingenium
in Hosu City, Tokyo.

The escaping culprit had already killed
17 heroes in the past

and hurt 23 heroes beyond recovery.

The elusive hero killer.
Villain name: Stain.

If it's about my brother,
there is no need to worry.

I apologize for worrying you needlessly.

Iida didn't say anything to me.

Later, I was surprised to find out that
Iida's internship would be in Hosu City,

where Ingenium had been attacked.

But I couldn't say anything to Iida,
since he hadn't said anything to me.

And so things remained as we approached
the first day of our internships.

You all have your costumes, right?

Remember, you aren't allowed
to wear them in public.

Don't drop them or anything.

Yessir!

Speak clearly! It's "yes, sir," Ashido.

Yes, sir…

Make sure you mind your manners
with the heroes at your internships!

Off with you, now.

Yes, sir!

Tokoyami, you're going to Kyushu?
That's in the opposite direction.

Iida!

If you ever feel hopeless,
make sure you let us know.

We're friends, right?

Yeah.

At that time,
I should have been more emphatic.

Because I would eventually regret
what happened on that day.

GRAN TORINO

A hero that even All Might
is afraid of, huh?

Gran Torino…

I've never heard of him,
but I'm sure he's an amazing person!

I'm sure he's an amazing person!

The address matches the one on the map…

I'm here from U.A. High.
My name is Izuku Midoriya.

Nice to meet yo…

He's dead!

I'm alive!

He's alive!

Here's the preview!

In order to do my internship, I've gone to
the man who was once All Might's teacher,

Gran Torino, but…

Who are you?

I'm Izuku Midoriya from U.A.!

I look forward
to working with you this week!

-Who are you?
-I said…

-Toshinori!
-No, that's not it!

Who are you?

This conversation's going nowhere!

There's no time,
so I'm going to keep going.

Next time, "Bizarre! Gran Torino Appears"!

Go beyond!

Plus Ultra!
