My Hero Academia (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 15 - Midoriya and Shigaraki - full transcript

[IZUKU] This is a superhuman
society, with 80 percent of us

possessing some uncanny ability.

Cities swirled with
chaos and confusion

following the appearance
of these powers,

and a new profession emerged.

We call those who
fight for justice

and help others
in need "heroes."

Oh, by the way,
this is the story of how

I became the world's
greatest hero!

[AIZAWA] The UA Sports Festival
is about to start.

It's true that joining
a famous hero agency

can garner you greater
experience and popularity.

One chance a year,
three chances in a lifetime.

No aspiring hero can afford
to miss this festival.

[AIZAWA] That means you better
not slack off on your training.

[STUDENTS]
Yes, sir!

[ALL MIGHT]
This sports festival...

It's something that the pros‐‐

no, the entire country will
be watching very closely.

Think of the sports
festival as your debut.

You are the fledgling Symbol
of Peace, the next All Might!

Izuku Midoriya.

You must introduce
yourself to the world,

and proudly say "I am here!"

[gasps] But, All Might,
that's your catchphrase!

Besides, what can I do?

You know how the sports
festival is set up, right?

[IZUKU]
Oh, yeah. Of course!

Students are separated
by class year,

and then the support,
business, general studies,

and hero courses all
fight against each other

in a bunch of
preliminary trials.

Whoever makes it through
the initial games

face off in the finals.

It's basically a big
round‐robin tournament.

Right! Meaning,
you'll have plenty

of opportunities
to sell yourself.

I guess.

[ALL MIGHT groans]

[IZUKU] I'm sorry!
I mean, what you're saying

is absolutely
correct, All Might!

But honestly, it's kind of
hard to get excited

about this after everything
that just happened at the USJ.

Plus, I've already got
the world's greatest hero

teaching me, so the festival
probably isn't my only hope

of getting scouted by an agency.

And besides, I don't
know that I can stand out

right now considering I did
so horribly on the fitness tests

and can't control
One For All very well.

Man, nobody is better
at spoutin' word vomit

than you, kid.

Oh, hey, are you okay?

Some heroes always
aim for the top,

while others happily settle.
The difference between

those two mindsets
has a big impact on

how far you go
in the real world.

I understand how you feel.

And I may even be projecting

a bit of myself
onto you. However,

I hope you haven't
forgotten the emotions

you felt back at the beach
during our training.

[ALL gasp]

[OCHACO] U‐Um, why the
heck are you all here?

Do you students have
some sort of business

with our class?

Why are you blocking
our doorway?

I won't let you hold us hostage!

They're scouting out
the competition, idiots.

We're the class that survived
a real villain attack.

Let's just hope he
doesn't explode anybody.

At least now you know what
a future pro looks like.

Now move it, extras.

[TENYA] You can't walk around
calling people "extras"

just because you don't
know who they are!

[SHINSO]
So this is Class 1‐A.

I heard you guys
were impressive,

but you just sound like an ass.

Is everyone in the hero course
delusional, or just you?

[KATSUKI growls]

How sad to come here and
find a bunch of ego maniacs.

I wanted to be
in the hero course,

but like many others here,

I was forced to choose
a different track.

Such is life.

Tch.

[SHINSO] I didn't cut it
the first time around,

but I have another chance.

If any of us do well
in the sports festival,

the teachers can decide to
transfer us to the hero course.

And they'll have to
transfer people out

to make room.

[IZUKU, TENYA, OCHACO gasp]

[SHINSO]
Scouting the competition?

Maybe some of my
peers are, but I'm here

to let you know that, if you
don't bring your very best,

I'll steal your spot
right from under you.

Consider this a
declaration of war.

[TENYA, OCHACO, IZUKU] Where did
this guy even come from?

[TETSUTETSU]
Hey, you!

I'm from Class 1‐B
next door to you!

We heard you fought
some villains,

and I came to see
if that was true.

But you're just a bunch of brats
who think you're better than us!

[TENYA, OCHACO, IZUKU] Crap,
everyone hates our class now!

[TETSUTETSU]
Talk all ya want!

It'll just be more
embarrassing when you're KO'd.

Don't you ignore me!

Dude, where are you going?

You gotta say something.

It's your fault they're
all hating on us, Bakugo.

These people don't matter.

Huh?

The only thing that's important
is that I beat them.

[gasps]

[TETSUTETSU]
Hey! I'm comin' for you!

[KIRISHIMA growls]

I hate that, that was
such a manly exit.

‐‐[KAMINARI] Huh? Huh?!
‐‐[SATO] You said it.

We have to beat them,
he wasn't wrong.

Yeah, sure, but this sucks!
He made us everyone's enemies.

[MINETA]
Yeah, that's right!

All of these dumb students
will be gunning for us

in the festival now!

[KATSUKI]
You won't beat me again!

I'm just getting
started! Got that?

I'm gonna end up
the number‐one hero

no matter what!

[IZUKU]
Kacchan...

Maybe I'm just an idiot.

I'm gonna become a pro.

I'll sign with a good agency
and make plenty of money,

‐‐then I'll be able to...
‐‐As the second oldest Iida son,

‐‐I strive to be just like him.
‐‐[AIZAWA] That's why

the festival matters. If you
wanna go pro one day...

The difference between
those two mindsets

has a big impact on how far
you go in the real world.

[ALL MIGHT] I hope you haven't
forgotten the emotions

you felt back at the beach
during our training.

[IZUKU] The UA Sports Festival
is in two weeks.

The whole thing'll
be live on TV.

There's no doubt that
whoever impresses

the audience will have
a much better chance

of becoming a pro hero one day.

We won't know what the games
will be until the first day.

They could basically throw
any sort of trial at us.

And so, we have to prepare
for all possibilities.

[TENYA yells]

[TSUYU]
Ribbit!

[SHOJI grunting]

[HAGAKURE grunting]

Let's do this!

Release!

[OCHACO, ASHIDO]
Ooh...

[AOYAMA grunts]

[yells]

[KIRISHIMA grunts]

[yells]

[pants]

[KATSUKI]
Yeah!

[KAMINARI groans]
Yeey...

[TOKOYAMI]
It's too much light!

Thank you all!

[TODOROKI grunts, pants]

[IZUKU]
Days passed.

All the training made
time go by quickly.

Before we knew it, it was
the morning of the festival.

[IZUKU'S MOM] Izuku, please
be careful and don't get hurt.

[IZUKU]
I won't.

[IZUKU'S MOM] I'll record
the whole festival in HD!

[IZUKU chuckles]

Do your best, son.

Okay, I'm off!

[REPORTER 9A] This security line
is huge. What's the deal?

A bunch of villains
did just break in.

Of course the school's
being stricter this year.

Some people think they shouldn't

be holding the festival,
considering what happened.

Perfect! Nothing
brings ratings up

like a little controversy!

Plus, everybody will
tune in to see Class 1‐A!

[MAN 15A] I'm always psyched
to see the third years

since they've got the most
experience with their Quirks.

Plus, it's their last chance
to show their worth.

[MAN 15B]
Nah, this time it's all about

those powerful first
years. I can't wait.

[WOMAN 15A] Hey, did you
hear that Endeavor's son

is one of the first‐year
students? Can you imagine?

[MAN 15C]
No way, seriously?

[MAN 15D] Man, the stands
for the first years

are gonna be packed.

[MT. LADY] I'll take
one order to go, please.

Whoa! Mt. Lady,
is it really you?

And hold the salt, will you?

Of course! That's
gonna be ten bucks.

[gasps]

[MT. LADY] Um... Oh, no,
my money's in another costume.

So hot! This is on the house!

Aren't you a dear?

[KAMUI WOODS]
Have you no sense of shame?

[KAMUI WOODS] I was hoping
I'd get to do some scouting

while I was here.

Yeah, too bad we're stuck
working security this time.

Looks like they
called in pro heroes

from all over to guard
this thing. Quite a show.

[ASHIDO]
Aw, man.

I was totally hoping
I could wear my costume.

At least everyone'll
be in uniforms.

That'll keep things fair, right?

I wonder what they
have in store for us

in the first round.

No matter what they've
prepared, we must persevere.

[SHOJI]
Right.

Everyone, get your
game faces on!

We're entering the arena soon!

[MINETA] Swallow your fear,
swallow your fear,

swallow your fear!

[TODOROKI]
Midoriya.

Hey, Todoroki. What's up?

Huh?

From an objective standpoint,

I think it's fairly clear
that I'm stronger than you.

Uh‐‐ Um, yeah.

However, you've got All Might
in your corner, helping you out.

[gasps]

[TODOROKI]
I'm not here to pry about

what's going on between you two.

But know that I will beat you.

[gasps]

[KAMINARI gasps]

What's with all these
declarations of war lately?

Yeah, what's the big deal?

Why are you pickin' a
fight all of a sudden?

And right before
we get started...

[TODOROKI] We're not here
to be each other's friends.

Don't forget. This
isn't a team effort.

Wait a sec, Todoroki.

I don't know what's
going through your head

or why you think you'd need
to tell me that you'll beat me.

And, yeah, of course
you're better than me.

In fact, you probably
have way more potential

than anyone in the hero course.

That's why you
got in so easily.

Midoriya, maybe you're being

a little hard on
yourself, and us.

[IZUKU] No, he's right, you
guys. All the other courses‐‐

they're coming for us with
everything they've got.

I wanna be the
world's greatest hero!

[IZUKU] We're all gonna have
to fight to stand out.

And I'll be aiming
for the top, too.

Fine.

Tch.

Hey!

Make some noise,
all you rabid sports fans!

Get those cameras
prepped, media hordes!

This year we're bringing you
some of the hottest performances

in sports festival
history, guaranteed!

I've only got one question
before we start this show:

Are you ready?

Let me hear ya scream
as our students

make their way
to the main stage!

C'mon, Izuku!

[ALL MIGHT] You must introduce
yourself to the world,

and proudly say "I am here!"

All Might, I won't let you down.

[AUDIENCE cheering]

[PRESENT MIC] Welcome back
to the UA Sports Festival!

Where up‐and‐coming
heroes leave everything

on the field as they fight
for the chance to achieve

worldwide fame and celebrity!

This first group

are no strangers
to the spotlight!

You know them for withstanding
a villain attack‐‐

the dazzling students
lighting up your TVs

with solid‐gold skills.

The hero course
students of Class 1‐A!

Uh... I didn't know
there'd be so many people.

I hope we're still able to
give our best performances,

even though all these
eyes are watching us.

I suppose it's just another
aspect of being a hero

we all have to learn
to get used to.

Present Mic sure did
talk us up a lot.

Kinda makes me nervous.
How you feelin', man?

I'm not worried.

Makes me wanna win
this thing even more.

[PRESENT MIC] They haven't
been getting nearly as much

screentime, but this next group
is still chock full of talent!

Welcome hero course Class 1‐B!

Next up, general studies
classes C, D, and E!

Support classes F, G, and H!

And finally, business
classes I, J, and K!

Give it up for all of UA's
first‐year contestants!

I get the feeling
we're just here

to make the hero
students look better.

I can't wait for this
to be over with.

[MIDNIGHT]
Now, the introductory speech!

Whoa!

This year's chief umpire
for the first years

is the R‐Rated Hero, Midnight!

Amazing.

Seriously, the other
years don't know

what they're missing.

Uh, someone should
talk to Ms. Midnight

about what she's wearing.

Yeah. That costume should
come with a warning.

Is that really
appropriate apparel

for a high school game?

[grunts]

[MIDNIGHT]
Silence, everyone!

And for the student pledge,
we have Katsuki Bakugo!

Uh... He's the first‐year rep?

[SERO] I guess that
hot‐head did finish first

in the entrance tests.

[sighs] Only for the
hero course exams.

Oh, right.

That girl obviously hates us.

Yeah, and we've got
Bakugo to thank

for them not liking our class.

[gulps]

I just wanna say...

I'm gonna win.

[CLASS 1‐A] I knew he'd
say something like that!

[STUDENT 15A]
What did he say?

[STUDENT 15C] Class 1‐A is
so full of themselves.

[STUDENT 15D]
Get him off the stage!

[TENYA] Why would you
be so disrespectful?

You're representing us all!

Not my fault the rest of you

are just stepping
stones to my victory.

I'm gonna crush this
overconfident jerk!

I can't wait to knock
'im down a size!

[IZUKU] I don't think
it is overconfidence.

The old Kacchan would have
laughed while saying that,

making it a joke.

[IZUKU]
This is him pushing himself.

[IZUKU] And turning all
the rest of us into targets

at the same time.

Without further ado, it's time
for us to get started!

UA really doesn't believe in
letting us catch a breath, huh?

[MIDNIGHT] This is where
you begin feeling the pain!

The first fateful game
of the festival!

What could it be?

[MIDNIGHT]
Ta‐dah!

So it's gonna be
an obstacle course.

All 11 classes will participate
in this treacherous contest.

The track is four
kilometers around

the outside of the stadium.

I don't wanna restrain anyone,
at least in this game.

As long as you don't
leave the course,

you're free to do whatever
your heart desires.

Now then, take your
places, contestants.

[IZUKU]
All Might...

[ALL MIGHT] You must introduce
yourself to the world,

and proudly say "I am here!"

[IZUKU]
I have to be smart about this.

I'm still not able to
control One For All, yet,

so I have to be
careful when I use it.

[IZUKU] That means...
I have to go beyond.

[IZUKU] I hope you're
watching, All Might!

Begin!

And we're off to a racing start!

How 'bout some color
commentary, Mummy Man?

[AIZAWA]
How did you talk me into this?

[PRESENT MIC] What should we
be paying attention to

in the early
stages of the race?

[AIZAWA]
The doorway.

[STUDENT 15E]
Hey, hey!

[STUDENT 15F]
You're trampling me!

[STUDENT 15I]
This is too narrow!

[yelping, grunting]

[gasps]

[IZUKU]
I get it; they're testing us‐‐

seeing how we get through.

[TODOROKI]
This is the first obstacle.

[TODOROKI]
Apologies.

[STUDENT 15K]
Ow! No fair!

[STUDENT 15M]
So cold!

‐‐[KIRISHIMA] Here I come!
‐‐[KATSUKI yells]

Nice trick, Todoroki!

I won't let you
get away so easily!

You icy‐hot bastard!

You froze me in
place once before,

it won't happen again.

[yelps]

[ASHIDO]
Close one!

Gotta wait for the right
time to show off my Quirk!

So they are good at
using their powers, huh?

I didn't expect so many
people to dodge that.

Especially those
from other classes.

[gasps]

[MINETA grunting]

You think you're so cool,
but I've outsmarted you!

Ha! How pathetic, Todoroki!

Eat this! My special attack!

Gra...

[yells]

[MINETA screams]

[MINETA groaning]

Are you okay?

[IZUKU gasps]

[1‐POINT MECHA 4A]
Targets acquired.

Terminate them.

It's those robots
from the entrance exam!

[PRESENT MIC]
Ooh!

Enemies have shown up
out of nowhere!

I bet we're in for a treat here!
A test of strength and cunning!

It's a Robo Inferno!

Are those the
zero‐point villains

from the practical test?

[GEN. STUDIES STUDENT 15B]
Seriously?

[SUPPORT COURSE STUDENT 15A]
This is what they meant

by "obstacles"?

So this is what the
other students faced

in their entrance exams.

Where's the school
even get the funding

for these things?

[TODOROKI] They obviously went
through a lot of trouble,

but I wish they'd
prepared something

a little more difficult.

Especially since my
dear‐old dad is watching.

[sighs]

[STUDENT 15P]
Dude, he stopped the robots!

[STUDENT 15Q]
Look! Between their legs!

We can get through!

Careful, now.

I froze them while they
were off their balance.

[TODOROKI]
On purpose.

[PRESENT MIC] That's Todoroki
from Class 1‐A pulling ahead

to an early lead with
a devastating display!

Amazing!

He's one we should watch,
It almost seems unfair!

Thoughts?

[AIZAWA] His attack was both
offensive and defenseive.

No wonder he was let in
on recommendations!

He'd never even fought
those Robo Infernos before,

but they didn't stand a chance
against his chart‐topping moves!

[IZUKU grunts]

[IZUKU]
Gotta hurry!

[IZUKU'S MOM]
No, you can't beat those, son.

Get outta there! Please,
just run away for me, baby!

[IZUKU] I have to get past
these robots, while looking out

for other obstacles.

[IZUKU]
Holy crap, I'm gonna die!

Why won't my feet move?

[IZUKU]
Come on! Think!

What do I do?

[KATSUKI]
It's time for the dumb preview.

Everybody just listen to me!

[IZUKU] Why are you so mad?
This is the fun part!

[KATSUKI] I already know
how the obstacle course

is gonna end. With me at the top

and you trampled on the
ground in last place.

[IZUKU]
That's not a preview,

that's more like
your personal dream.

[KATSUKI]
Shut your mouth, you damn nerd!

If you're even one
step ahead of me,

I'll incinerate you,
no questions asked!

Actually, I think I'll do that
even if you're not ahead!

[IZUKU]
Why are you always so scary?

[KATSUKI] Next time:
"In Their Own Quirky Ways."

[IZUKU] Watch me go
"boom" in a minefield!

[KATSUKI]
Go beyond!

[KATSUKI, IZUKU]
Plus Ultra!
