My Hero Academia (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 16 - Hero Killer: Stain vs U.A. Students - full transcript
Stain strikes again, and this time some U.A. students are around when it happens. Will they be able to hold him off until the pros come?
[TODOROKI]
Midoriya.
Know that I will beat you.
[gasps]
[IZUKU]
All the other courses...
They're coming for us
with everything they've got.
We're all gonna have to
fight to stand out.
And I'll be aiming
for the top, too.
[PRESENT MIC] The first‐year
students are already off
to one rockin' start!
And, it's only the first round!
Talk about a cruel
obstacle course!
Our players are racing against
each other in a vicious battle
where anything goes so long
as they stay on the track!
[AIZAWA]
Watch it.
We'll continue to
bring you live updates
and pulse‐pounding action
thanks to the camera robots
placed around the course!
[AIZAWA]
Why do you need me here?
[PRESENT MIC]
The stakes are high!
We've got a whole school
of top‐notch students
trying to be heroes, but do
they really stand a chance
against our heavy metal
swarm of Robo Infernos?
[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.
[pants]
[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.
[IZUKU grunting]
[KATSUKI grunts]
[PRESENT MIC]
What a showing!
Shoto Todoroki from Class 1‐A
has taken an early lead!
[STUDENT 16A]
Hey!
There's someone trapped
under that robot!
Do you think we should
try and help 'em?
Are people seriously
gonna die here?
[gasps]
I'm alive!
[PRESENT MIC]
Kirishima from Class 1‐A!
What a hardcore debut
for this rookie!
Todoroki, I can't believe
you pulled something like that.
Jeez.
Anyone but me
woulda been killed!
[PRESENT MIC]
Kirishima Eijiro.
Quirk: Hardening!
This power makes his
entire body hard as a rock!
That means he can be
the ultimate shield,
or a devastating weapon!
[TETSUTETSU] Class 1‐A
really is full a' jerks!
I'll smash that ice guy
when I get my hands on him.
[PRESENT MIC]
Tetsutetsu from Class 1‐B
was also stuck underneath!
What are the odds?
Ya know, anyone other
than me woulda been killed!
[PRESENT MIC]
Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu!
Quirk: Steel!
This makes his entire
body hard as a steel!
So he can be the ultimate
shield, or a devastating weapon!
Our Quirks are
basically the same!
How am I supposed
to stand out now?
You damn copycat!
Man, how lucky are they?
They don't have to worry
about being crushed!
We're racing each other,
but we can team up for now.
Let's carve a path.
[STUDENT COMPETITORS gasp]
[KAMINARI]
Bakugo?
[KATSUKI] No way am I
letting Todoroki beat me.
[KATSUKI grunts]
[PRESENT MIC]
Class 1‐A's Bakugo is rocketing
over the obstacles!
Clever!
[grunts]
[SERO] I figured you'd just try
to blast your way through
these things with your
Quirk. I'm impressed.
I'll hitch a ride on my shadow.
[laughs]
[PRESENT MIC]
Sero Hanta.
His Quirk: Tape!
He can shoot tape‐like
material from his elbows,
stick it to objects
or wrap things up.
You should see the traps he
makes when he rips it off!
Let's land!
[DARK SHADOW]
Aye, aye!
[PRESENT MIC]
Tokoyami Fumikage.
His Quirk: Dark Shadow!
He's got a shadow‐like
monster inside him
that can materialize and morph
into any creation he wants.
[KATSUKI]
Heh.
[SERO grunts]
[AUDIENCE cheers]
[SNIPE] Looks like all the pack
leaders are from Class 1‐A.
At least for now.
It's not that 1‐B
and the other students
are doing poorly. It's just...
[AIZAWA] Class 1‐A's
learned not to hesitate.
[panting]
[TENYA grunts]
[panting]
[AIZAWA] They've seen what
the real world is like.
They've felt the fear
of facing villains.
Release!
[AIZAWA] Yet they fight on,
trying to overcome that fear.
They've grown. All of them.
And they know that they
have to act quickly
if they want to stay alive.
[IZUKU]
I can't rely on One For All
this early in the competition.
[gasps]
[IZUKU] A piece of the robot
Todoroki knocked down!
[grunts]
[IZUKU]
This thing won't let up.
It must have me targeted.
It's moving so quickly.
Which means it can't stop fast.
Or avoid an attack!
[IZUKU]
Run! Keep going!
[IZUKU] I'll keep this and use
it as a shield if I need to!
Perfect!
[gasps]
[IZUKU]
Yaoyorozu!
A piece of cake.
[SATO]
The path is clear!
[IZUKU] Wow, she beat
a zero‐pointer so easily!
No wonder she got
in on recommendations!
[SNIPE] You're better off
dodgin' those big fellas
most of the time.
But if you gotta take 'em
down, they're just slow,
dumb hunks a' metal,
pretty easy to hit.
Long as you land
a smart shot, that is.
[ALL MIGHT]
Introduce yourself to the world
and say "I am here!"
[ALL MIGHT] I've asked so
much of you, Young Midoriya.
You don't have to come in first.
Just get to the next round!
[PRESENT MIC]
For those of you who thought
the first obstacle was easy.
Let's see how ya feel
about the second one.
[ALL]
Uh...
[PRESENT MIC] If they take
a spill, they're out!
If they wanna pass this test,
they'll have to get creative.
It's "The Fall"!
When did they even
have time to build
something like this?
What are you doing?
Ribbit!
Ribbit.
This is my moment. Easy peasy.
She's fast!
[HATSUME chuckles]
Yes. Finally.
This is my chance to
show off what I can do.
My support items are
gonna steal the spotlight
from these wannabe
heroes. Everyone!
Observe what my brilliant
gadgets can do!
Wire arrows and hover soles!
You're from Support!
Hey!
How come you got to
bring all that stuff?
[HATSUME]
Students in the hero course get
all kinds of combat
training for their Quirks.
In order to keep things
fair and give us
a fighting chance, we're allowed
to bring whatever gadgets
and costumes we want
into the games,
so long as we
developed them ourselves.
So, sit back and enjoy the show.
[HATSUME] For those of us
in the support course,
this is the perfect
obstacle to show off
our ingenious ideas and
creations to any companies
out there who might
wanna recruit us!
[laughs]
[HATSUME]
I hope employers are watching!
My super‐cute little babies
are sure to make a splash.
[cackles]
[OCHACO]
Wow!
[ASHIDO]
Talk about annoying.
I won't lose!
Ugh, this is so unfair!
Interesting.
Heh.
[PRESENT MIC] In the world
of heroes, it can be hard
to get popular
without a flashy Quirk.
Right, Eraser Head?
[AIZAWA] I don't know what
you're talking about, idiot.
[PRESENT MIC]
Looks like Todoroki
is still skating by easily!
[TODOROKI]
He's finally getting fired up.
It took him long enough.
You suck!
My older brother's
probably watching this.
I can't let him see me
look foolish. I've got this!
[PRESENT MIC]
Boy, does he look foolish!
[AUDIENCE 16A] The dude in
first place is so far ahead.
[AUDIENCE 16B] His Quirk is
really powerful, but it's his
natural athletic talent
and keen judgment
keeping him in first place.
I'm not surprised.
Don't you know
who his father is?
The Flame Hero, Endeavor!
[AUDIENCE 16D]
Wait, for real?
That guy's second only
to All Might himself.
[AUDIENCE 16E]
Everyone'll be fighting
to have him as a
sidekick for sure.
[PRESENT MIC] The leader's
putting distance between
him and the students
stuck at The Fall!
It hasn't been announced
how many competitors
will make it through
to the next round,
so there's no time to relax.
Come on, Izuku.
[TODOROKI panting]
[PRESENT MIC] And now,
we're finally approaching
the last obstacle. Everyone
had better tread carefully.
You're stepping
onto a minefield!
If you look carefully,
you can see
where those little
bombs are buried,
so keep your eyes
on the ground, folks.
By the way, those land mines
were designed for the games,
so they might be
loud and flashy,
but, they're not
all that powerful.
Just enough to make
you wet your pants!
[AIZAWA]
Get a hold of yourself.
[IZUKU] Someone's already
made it to the final obstacle?
Faster. I can do this!
[STUDENTS screaming]
[TODOROKI]
Very clever.
Those in the lead are actually
at a disadvantage here.
Guess it makes for
good entertainment.
Ha, ha, ha! It's over.
[yells]
[KATSUKI]
Bastard!
Your declaration of war
was to the wrong person!
[PRESENT MIC] Just like that,
a new student takes the lead!
The media here is going crazy!
There's nothing they love
more than an upset!
[TENYA grunting]
[PRESENT MIC]
Hey, hey, hey!
The rest of the competitors
are catching up, too!
And what's this?
Can our two leaders
fight each other
and stay in front
of the competition?
[STUDENT COMPETITORS yelling]
[IZUKU]
Crap. They're so far ahead.
[IZUKU]
But‐‐
No!
This isn't over yet!
Thanks for the idea...
...Kacchan!
[gasps]
[grunts]
[PRESENT MIC] What's with that
huge explosion in the back?!
That was way more powerful
than it should be!
[grunting]
Huh?
[PRESENT MIC]
Incredible!
Yes!
[PRESENT MIC]
What just happened?
Whatever the case,
Class 1‐A's Izuku Midoriya
is suddenly in hot
pursuit of first place!
[IZUKU]
I gotta think about this.
These land mines go off
if you step on them.
They're not that powerful,
but they can turn
into a huge pain if you
detonate a bunch of them.
You can't just rush through.
It's better to slow down
and avoid them altogether.
That way you won't risk
injuring yourself with one.
Even the people who
are good at jumping
can't be too careless.
And there are even more of them
to watch for in the front.
No one's going to be
able to go through this
very quickly.
I can use that to my advantage!
Everyone was most careful
around the entrance.
There will be plenty
of land mines
still buried around there.
Okay, I can do this.
‐‐I can't be impatient
‐‐[JIRO] What's Midoriya doing?
[IZUKU]
or I'll just blow myself up.
[PRESENT MIC] Todoroki and
Bakugo are neck and neck
for the lead and knocking
on the finish line!
There.
Thanks for the idea, Kacchan!
[IZUKU]
Super‐explosive turbo speed!
Midoriya?
[PRESENT MIC] Whatever the case,
Class 1‐A's Izuku Midoriya
is suddenly in hot
pursuit of first place!
Strike that! The lead is his!
[AUDIENCE cheers]
[IZUKU] I flew over them
just like I planned.
But there was more force
than I expected!
And...
I didn't think about
how I was gonna land!
Deku.
What the hell do you
think you're doing, huh?
[TODOROKI] This ice path
will end up helping others.
But there's no time
to worry about them!
Look at that plot twist!
Those two aren't
fighting anymore.
They're chasing Midoriya!
That's what having
a common enemy
will do in this competition!
This fight is still
far from over, though!
[ALL MIGHT]
Anything can happen.
[IZUKU]
Oh, no. I'm losing speed.
This is bad. They'll
get ahead of me again.
If I don't time
this landing right,
there's no way I'll be
able to keep the lead.
I just... have to
hold on and keep going.
I have a chance here.
I have to reach out and take it!
The only way to stay ahead
is to take another leap.
I have to take them
out of the running!
I can show the world who I am!
[IZUKU grunts]
[PRESENT MIC] In a stunning
move, Midoriya has blasted
past his classmates from 1‐A!
I don't believe it‐‐he cleared
that minefield in an instant!
[PRESENT MIC] Eraser Head,
your students are amazing!
What the heck are
you teaching them?
[AIZAWA]
This has nothing to do with me.
[AIZAWA] Each of them
is powered by their own
drive to succeed.
[PRESENT MIC]
There ya have it,
Eraser Head is a
terrible teacher.
[AIZAWA]
I'm what?
[PRESENT MIC] Who would have
imagined at the beginning
of this race that the
climax would be a non‐stop
mega‐mix of surprises?
The first to make it
back into the stadium
is the first‐place winner!
[PRESENT MIC]
Izuku Midoriya is our champion!
[AUDIENCE cheers]
Oh, my baby Izuku!
Hey, it's that kid.
Oh, yeah! He fought
the sludge monster.
[SHIGARAKI]
It's that brat again.
[IZUKU panting]
U‐Uh...
[ALL MIGHT] This sports
festival is a competition
where everyone aims for the top.
Even though that means defeating
your friends and classmates.
And for professional heroes,
popularity plays a huge
part in their careers,
so they have to
want to be the best.
It's a bloodthirsty world.
At your core, you
want to help others.
That's why I chose
you, Young Midoriya.
But in all honesty, I also
thought your selflessness
could be your weakness.
[ALL MIGHT] Turns out,
I was worried over nothing!
You are a fighter!
Still, maybe cool it
with the waterworks.
This is interesting.
I think it's obvious that
Midoriya's stock
is about to go up.
Not so fast.
He's still an unknown since we
have no idea what his Quirk is.
Imagine for a second
that an agency was to take
him on, how would they
market someone so
plain‐looking who doesn't
show off his Quirk?
They'd definitely have
their work cut out.
Well, he doesn't have
much going for him
appearance‐wise,
so you'd have to
push his skills
and the unexpected,
artistic ways that he
performs under pressure.
[ALL MIGHT]
Business course students.
Some things never change.
[PRESENT MIC]
The business course!
There's really no benefit
to them participating
in the sports festival. So,
they cultivate their instincts
by selling things or
running market simulations!
They have a lot of free time.
[KATSUKI panting]
[KATSUKI]
Deku... No way.
Not again.
[PRESENT MIC]
The contestants are pouring in
one after the other!
Let's hear some applause
for all our competitors
as we prepare the results.
[OCHACO]
Deku! That was amazing!
Oh, thank you!
I can't believe you got
first place, I'm jealous!
[IZUKU]
Uh! It was nothing!
[IZUKU] It's not like
I had some big plan.
I tried a few things
that worked out better
than I could have hoped for.
Any of those gambles
could've gone wrong.
I was just lucky, that's all.
[IZUKU] My real ability
will be tested after this.
What comes next?
[YAOYOROZU panting]
How could this happen?
[MINETA laughing]
Two birds with one
stone. I'm a genius!
You are the worst.
[MIDNIGHT] The first game for
the first‐years is finally over,
and what a game it was!
Now, let's take a quick look
at the standings, shall we?
[AOYAMA whimpers]
[MIDNIGHT] Only the top 42 will
advance to the next round.
But don't be too let down
if you didn't make the cut!
We've prepared
other opportunities
for you to shine.
[MIDNIGHT] Now the real
fun is about to begin.
The chance to fully move
yourselves into the limelight!
Give it your best!
[growls]
Let's see what we have
in store for you next.
Will your wildest
fantasies come to life?
What could it be?
The waiting is torture.
Prepare yourselves...
...for this!
Cavalry battle?
I'm terrible at those.
‐‐Huh, it's not an
‐‐[MINETA] Oh, yes.
‐‐individual event.
‐‐[MINETA] Oh, yes.
I wonder how they'll
split us up.
[MIDNIGHT]
Allow me to explain.
The participants will form
teams of two‐to‐four people
as they see fit.
In theory, it's
basically the same
as a regular playground game.
But there is one difference.
Each player has been
assigned a point value
based on the results
from the obstacle course.
I get it, a point‐based system
like the entrance exams.
That seems pretty simple.
So that means each team
will have a different
point value based on
which students are on it.
Uh‐huh!
Maybe you should shut up
and let me explain
things to you.
Now, then.
The point assignments go
up by increments of five,
starting from the bottom.
For example, 42nd place
is worth five points,
and 41st is worth ten.
And the point value assigned to
the first place
contestant is...
...ten million!
Ten million?
[SHINSO]
Really.
[HATSUME] In other words,
if you take down his team.
[STUDENT COMPETITORS]
You'll win the Cavalry Game
and take the lead yourself.
That's right.
It's survival of the
fittest, with a chance
for those at the bottom
to overthrow the top!
[OCHACO]
Hey, Deku!
Let's talk about the
next episode, okay?
[IZUKU] The second game
is a cavalry battle!
Usually four people
fight as a team,
but no one wants to be on mine
because everyone's after me now!
[OCHACO] It's kinda sad
being you, isn't it?
[IZUKU]
Maybe you could have phrased
that a little differently.
[OCHACO]
Deku you must be so lonely.
[IZUKU]
That's not any better!
Next time, "Strategy,
Strategy, Strategy!"
[OCHACO] Deku's sure to
shed even more tears
now that he's a giant target.
[IZUKU]
I'm gonna have to go beyond!
[IZUKU, OCHACO]
Plus Ultra!
Midoriya.
Know that I will beat you.
[gasps]
[IZUKU]
All the other courses...
They're coming for us
with everything they've got.
We're all gonna have to
fight to stand out.
And I'll be aiming
for the top, too.
[PRESENT MIC] The first‐year

[AUDIENCE 16B] His Quirk is
really powerful, but it's his
natural athletic talent
and keen judgment
keeping him in first place.
I'm not surprised.
Don't you know
who his father is?
The Flame Hero, Endeavor!
[AUDIENCE 16D]
Wait, for real?
That guy's second only
to All Might himself.
[AUDIENCE 16E]
Everyone'll be fighting
to have him as a
sidekick for sure.
[PRESENT MIC] The leader's
putting distance between
him and the students
stuck at The Fall!
It hasn't been announced
how many competitors
will make it through
to the next round,
so there's no time to relax.
Come on, Izuku.
[TODOROKI panting]
[PRESENT MIC] And now,
we're finally approaching
the last obstacle. Everyone
had better tread carefully.
You're stepping
onto a minefield!
If you look carefully,
you can see
where those little
bombs are buried,
so keep your eyes
on the ground, folks.
By the way, those land mines
were designed for the games,
so they might be
loud and flashy,
but, they're not
all that powerful.
Just enough to make
you wet your pants!
[AIZAWA]
Get a hold of yourself.
[IZUKU] Someone's already
made it to the final obstacle?
Faster. I can do this!
[STUDENTS screaming]
[TODOROKI]
Very clever.
Those in the lead are actually
at a disadvantage here.
Guess it makes for
good entertainment.
Ha, ha, ha! It's over.
[yells]
[KATSUKI]
Bastard!
Your declaration of war
was to the wrong person!
[PRESENT MIC] Just like that,
a new student takes the lead!
The media here is going crazy!
There's nothing they love
more than an upset!
[TENYA grunting]
[PRESENT MIC]
Hey, hey, hey!
The rest of the competitors
are catching up, too!
And what's this?
Can our two leaders
fight each other
and stay in front
of the competition?
[STUDENT COMPETITORS yelling]
[IZUKU]
Crap. They're so far ahead.
[IZUKU]
But‐‐
No!
This isn't over yet!
Thanks for the idea...
...Kacchan!
[gasps]
[grunts]
[PRESENT MIC] What's with that
huge explosion in the back?!
That was way more powerful
than it should be!
[grunting]
Huh?
[PRESENT MIC]
Incredible!
Yes!
[PRESENT MIC]
What just happened?
Whatever the case,
Class 1‐A's Izuku Midoriya
is suddenly in hot
pursuit of first place!
[IZUKU]
I gotta think about this.
These land mines go off
if you step on them.
They're not that powerful,
but they can turn
into a huge pain if you
detonate a bunch of them.
You can't just rush through.
It's better to slow down
and avoid them altogether.
That way you won't risk
injuring yourself with one.
Even the people who
are good at jumping
can't be too careless.
And there are even more of them
to watch for in the front.
No one's going to be
able to go through this
very quickly.
I can use that to my advantage!
Everyone was most careful
around the entrance.
There will be plenty
of land mines
still buried around there.
Okay, I can do this.
‐‐I can't be impatient
‐‐[JIRO] What's Midoriya doing?
[IZUKU]
or I'll just blow myself up.
[PRESENT MIC] Todoroki and
Bakugo are neck and neck
for the lead and knocking
on the finish line!
There.
Thanks for the idea, Kacchan!
[IZUKU]
Super‐explosive turbo speed!
Midoriya?
[PRESENT MIC] Whatever the case,
Class 1‐A's Izuku Midoriya
is suddenly in hot
pursuit of first place!
Strike that! The lead is his!
[AUDIENCE cheers]
[IZUKU] I flew over them
just like I planned.
But there was more force
than I expected!
And...
I didn't think about
how I was gonna land!
Deku.
What the hell do you
think you're doing, huh?
[TODOROKI] This ice path
will end up helping others.
But there's no time
to worry about them!
Look at that plot twist!
Those two aren't
fighting anymore.
They're chasing Midoriya!
That's what having
a common enemy
will do in this competition!
This fight is still
far from over, though!
[ALL MIGHT]
Anything can happen.
[IZUKU]
Oh, no. I'm losing speed.
This is bad. They'll
get ahead of me again.
If I don't time
this landing right,
there's no way I'll be
able to keep the lead.
I just... have to
hold on and keep going.
I have a chance here.
I have to reach out and take it!
The only way to stay ahead
is to take another leap.
I have to take them
out of the running!
I can show the world who I am!
[IZUKU grunts]
[PRESENT MIC] In a stunning
move, Midoriya has blasted
past his classmates from 1‐A!
I don't believe it‐‐he cleared
that minefield in an instant!
[PRESENT MIC] Eraser Head,
your students are amazing!
What the heck are
you teaching them?
[AIZAWA]
This has nothing to do with me.
[AIZAWA] Each of them
is powered by their own
drive to succeed.
[PRESENT MIC]
There ya have it,
Eraser Head is a
terrible teacher.
[AIZAWA]
I'm what?
[PRESENT MIC] Who would have
imagined at the beginning
of this race that the
climax would be a non‐stop
mega‐mix of surprises?
The first to make it
back into the stadium
is the first‐place winner!
[PRESENT MIC]
Izuku Midoriya is our champion!
[AUDIENCE cheers]
Oh, my baby Izuku!
Hey, it's that kid.
Oh, yeah! He fought
the sludge monster.
[SHIGARAKI]
It's that brat again.
[IZUKU panting]
U‐Uh...
[ALL MIGHT] This sports
festival is a competition
where everyone aims for the top.
Even though that means defeating
your friends and classmates.
And for professional heroes,
popularity plays a huge
part in their careers,
so they have to
want to be the best.
It's a bloodthirsty world.
At your core, you
want to help others.
That's why I chose
you, Young Midoriya.
But in all honesty, I also
thought your selflessness
could be your weakness.
[ALL MIGHT] Turns out,
I was worried over nothing!
You are a fighter!
Still, maybe cool it
with the waterworks.
This is interesting.
I think it's obvious that
Midoriya's stock
is about to go up.
Not so fast.
He's still an unknown since we
have no idea what his Quirk is.
Imagine for a second
that an agency was to take
him on, how would they
market someone so
plain‐looking who doesn't
show off his Quirk?
They'd definitely have
their work cut out.
Well, he doesn't have
much going for him
appearance‐wise,
so you'd have to
push his skills
and the unexpected,
artistic ways that he
performs under pressure.
[ALL MIGHT]
Business course students.
Some things never change.
[PRESENT MIC]
The business course!
There's really no benefit
to them participating
in the sports festival. So,
they cultivate their instincts
by selling things or
running market simulations!
They have a lot of free time.
[KATSUKI panting]
[KATSUKI]
Deku... No way.
Not again.
[PRESENT MIC]
The contestants are pouring in
one after the other!
Let's hear some applause
for all our competitors
as we prepare the results.
[OCHACO]
Deku! That was amazing!
Oh, thank you!
I can't believe you got
first place, I'm jealous!
[IZUKU]
Uh! It was nothing!
[IZUKU] It's not like
I had some big plan.
I tried a few things
that worked out better
than I could have hoped for.
Any of those gambles
could've gone wrong.
I was just lucky, that's all.
[IZUKU] My real ability
will be tested after this.
What comes next?
[YAOYOROZU panting]
How could this happen?
[MINETA laughing]
Two birds with one
stone. I'm a genius!
You are the worst.
[MIDNIGHT] The first game for
the first‐years is finally over,
and what a game it was!
Now, let's take a quick look
at the standings, shall we?
[AOYAMA whimpers]
[MIDNIGHT] Only the top 42 will
advance to the next round.
But don't be too let down
if you didn't make the cut!
We've prepared
other opportunities
for you to shine.
[MIDNIGHT] Now the real
fun is about to begin.
The chance to fully move
yourselves into the limelight!
Give it your best!
[growls]
Let's see what we have
in store for you next.
Will your wildest
fantasies come to life?
What could it be?
The waiting is torture.
Prepare yourselves...
...for this!
Cavalry battle?
I'm terrible at those.
‐‐Huh, it's not an
‐‐[MINETA] Oh, yes.
‐‐individual event.
‐‐[MINETA] Oh, yes.
I wonder how they'll
split us up.
[MIDNIGHT]
Allow me to explain.
The participants will form
teams of two‐to‐four people
as they see fit.
In theory, it's
basically the same
as a regular playground game.
But there is one difference.
Each player has been
assigned a point value
based on the results
from the obstacle course.
I get it, a point‐based system
like the entrance exams.
That seems pretty simple.
So that means each team
will have a different
point value based on
which students are on it.
Uh‐huh!
Maybe you should shut up
and let me explain
things to you.
Now, then.
The point assignments go
up by increments of five,
starting from the bottom.
For example, 42nd place
is worth five points,
and 41st is worth ten.
And the point value assigned to
the first place
contestant is...
...ten million!
Ten million?
[SHINSO]
Really.
[HATSUME] In other words,
if you take down his team.
[STUDENT COMPETITORS]
You'll win the Cavalry Game
and take the lead yourself.
That's right.
It's survival of the
fittest, with a chance
for those at the bottom
to overthrow the top!
[OCHACO]
Hey, Deku!
Let's talk about the
next episode, okay?
[IZUKU] The second game
is a cavalry battle!
Usually four people
fight as a team,
but no one wants to be on mine
because everyone's after me now!
[OCHACO] It's kinda sad
being you, isn't it?
[IZUKU]
Maybe you could have phrased
that a little differently.
[OCHACO]
Deku you must be so lonely.
[IZUKU]
That's not any better!
Next time, "Strategy,
Strategy, Strategy!"
[OCHACO] Deku's sure to
shed even more tears
now that he's a giant target.
[IZUKU]
I'm gonna have to go beyond!
[IZUKU, OCHACO]
Plus Ultra!
