My Hero Academia (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 24 - Katsuki Bakugo: Origin - full transcript

[TODOROKI]
I'm going to show my old man

that I don't have to rely
on his damned fire Quirk.

I'm going to show him
that I reject his power,

and I can take first place
without using it.

You think you can win
with half your strength?

Look at me, Todoroki.

You haven't managed to put
a single scratch on me yet.

So come at me
with all you've got!

[TODOROKI] Why are you putting
yourself through this?

[IZUKU] I wanna live up
to people's expectations.

[gasps]

[IZUKU] I wanna be able to
smile while doing something

good for them. I wanna be a pro!

Whatever it takes to be a hero!

[TODOROKI]
I will reject you.

I refuse to use my left side.

It's yours! Your Quirk, not his!

I want it, too. I'll be a hero!

[IZUKU] Gotta try and get close,
and give it everything!

I see now, Midoriya.

[TODOROKI]
Thank you.

[MIDNIGHT]
Midoriya is out of bounds.

Todoroki wins!

[AUDIENCE 24A]
So Midoriya was eliminated

in the quarterfinals.

[AUDIENCE 24B]
Well, that's what he gets

for provoking that guy.

[AUDIENCE 24C] Do you think
that was part of some plan?

Otherwise, why egg
him on so much?

[AUDIENCE 24D]
He was there to beat Todoroki,

but it almost seemed like
he was happy to lose.

[AUDIENCE 24E] Either way,
they were both crazy strong.

[AUDIENCE 24F] Sure, but you
can't be a good pro

if you get injured every
time you use your Quirk.

[AUDIENCE 24G] He attacked
even though it hurt 'im.

The kid's got spirit.

[AUDIENCE 24H]
Where was all that power

during the cavalry
battle, I wonder.

[KATSUKI growls]

[ENDEAVOR]
What's the matter?

Not gonna tell me to get lost?

You need to learn to
control your left side.

It's dangerous to release
so much energy like that.

But I'm glad you're
finally seeing reason.

Now that you've abandoned
your childish rebellion,

we can get back
to what's important.

After you graduate,
you'll work by my side.

I'll lead you down the path
of the mighty, Shoto.

[TODOROKI]
I haven't abandoned anything.

Huh?

You're a fool
to think my feelings

could be so easily reversed.

[TODOROKI]
Instead... Out there...

For that one moment...

I forgot all about you.

[gasps]

[TODOROKI]
Whether that's good or bad,

whether it's the
right thing to do,

I don't know.

Maybe I don't need you.

[RECOVERY GIRL] The bones in
your right arm were shattered.

I'm afraid it'll
never be the same

as it was before.

‐‐[ALL MIGHT gasps]
‐‐[IZUKU grunts]

[RECOVERY GIRL] I need to
remove the bone fragments

or they'll get stuck
in your joints.

I'll heal you afterward.

[sighs] You lit a fire
under this child

and pushed him too hard.

Look at what he's done
to make you proud.

I don't like it one bit.

You're going too far. You hear?

You and the boy.

Don't praise him for
what he's done today.

‐‐[OCHACO] Deku!
‐‐[GROUP] Midoriya!

‐‐You scared the crap outta me.
‐‐[OCHACO] Are you okay?

Oh. It's nice to meet you, sir.

Uh, yeah.

He's in no state for visitors.

Hey, you guys.

Shouldn't you be
watching the matches?

The stage was far too damaged.

They're taking a quick
break to repair it now.

That match was
the scariest thing

I've ever seen in
my life, Midoriya.

What pro's gonna want a
sidekick that hurts himself?

Now you're just rubbing
salt in his wounds.

Probably not a good time.

Hey, I'm just
speakin' the truth!

You're much too noisy.

I know you're worried, but I've
got to focus on surgery now.

[OCHACO, TENYA, MINETA, TSUYU]
Surgery?

[RECOVERY GIRL]
Go on. Get out of here.

[OCHACO]
But‐‐

[MINETA]
Surgery's a big deal, isn't it?

[TENYA]
Will his wounds be healed?

[RECOVERY GIRL] Don't worry,
just leave me to it.

[TSUYU sadly]
Ribbit...

[IZUKU]
I'm sorry.

[ALL MIGHT gasps]

I couldn't do what
you asked of me.

You must introduce
yourself to the world,

and proudly say "I am here!"

If I had shut up,
not said anything...

I might have been
able to beat him.

But, I...

[ALL MIGHT] You got Todoroki
to realize something

very important about himself.

I guess so. In his first
match, he looked so sad.

I was trying to figure out why
when I should've been focused.

[IZUKU]
I made bigger mistake, though.

Whenever we were fighting...

I was just so...

So frustrated.

I couldn't see
the bigger picture.

Or what it would take
to win. I'm sorry.

[ALL MIGHT] It's true
that the match didn't go

how we wanted it to,
and realizing

where you went wrong
won't change that.

[ALL MIGHT]
But, listen.

Meddling where you don't
technically have to,

is the essence of being a hero.

[IZUKU whimpers]

[sighs]

[CROWD cheering]

[TENYA]
Here we go.

Recipro...

Burst!

[SHIOZAKI yelps]

Shiozaki is out.
Iida wins the match!

[CROWD cheers]

[TOKOYAMI]
Dark Shadow!

[DARK SHADOW]
I've got her!

[gasps]

[DARK SHADOW cackles]

[gasps]

[ASHIDO]
No!

Ashido is out of bounds!

Tokoyami will advance!

[CROWD cheers]

[MINETA] Whoa! He won
that battle super fast!

Tokoyami's Dark Shadow
is so amazing.

Ribbit.

What's wrong, you still
worried about Midoriya?

She said she had
to perform surgery.

[MINETA]
Recovery Girl's the best‐‐

you've got nothin'
to worry about!

[TSUYU]
He's right.

Sure.

[RECOVERY GIRL]
Mmmmwah!

I've healed you enough

that you should be able
to walk. But be careful.

Thank you very much, ma'am.

[RECOVERY GIRL] That's what
you get for overusing

your Quirk in a
short time frame.

Consider your crooked right hand
as a warning from now on.

And just so you know,

I will not heal injuries
like this anymore.

[IZUKU, ALL MIGHT gasp]

You must find a new way
for him to use his power.

There has to be an option
that's not so self‐destructive.

[IZUKU gasps]

A new way of using
your Quirk. Hm.

[IZUKU]
Hey, All Might.

[ALL MIGHT]
Huh?

[IZUKU]
Remember when you told me

why you came to UA
in the first place?

To find a worthy successor
to inherit One For All.

Yeah.

[IZUKU] I put everything I had
into the sports festival.

But still...

There were other competitors
who fought for the victory

harder than I did.

[IZUKU]
So... Maybe‐‐

[ALL MIGHT] You're thinking
it might be better

for someone else to be
my successor. Yes?

[IZUKU gasps]

[IZUKU]
Yes.

You speak the truth.

This place is full of
incredible potential heroes.

One For All is a
crystallization of power.

It bolsters Quirks.

For example,

if Young Todoroki
were to inherit it,

the strength added to his
own Quirk would probably

make him an
unbeatable superhero.

Then‐‐

[ALL MIGHT] But, you know,
I was Quirkless, too, as a kid.

[IZUKU gasps]

[IZUKU]
Quirkless? Seriously?

Back then it wasn't
as rare of a thing.

But it was still
out of the ordinary.

Even though I didn't
have a power of my own,

I had someone who
believed in my potential.

My master gave me One For All

and raised me to become a hero.

[IZUKU]
You never told me about that!

It's not my fault
you never asked.

Which is honestly surprising.

I just can't believe the
number‐one hero was Quirkless.

[ALL MIGHT]
It's true.

When we first met,

I saw a little of
the old me in you.

But, kid,

you've gone beyond
my expectations,

time and time again.

One day you're gonna
do incredible things

with One For All. That's
something I truly believe.

[gasps]

[ALL MIGHT grunts]

[gasps]

I'll do my best.

[ALL MIGHT] Anyway, the
Sports Festival isn't over yet.

Get out there‐‐you don't
wanna miss the end.

[IZUKU]
Right!

[phone ringing]

Hey, are you there,
Tensei? It's Tenya.

[INGENIUM]
I am currently on a mission

and cannot answer the phone.

Please leave a message.

Oh, well. We'll
talk soon, brother.

[INGENIUM]
Squad A, head north.

Squad B, check the west side!

[SQUAD A MAN 24A]
Squad A, roger!

[SQUAD B WOMAN 24A]
Squad B, roger!

[sirens blaring]

[INGENIUM]
Back there.

[INGENIUM]
No doubt about it. It's him!

[INGENIUM]
I've found you! Hero Killer!

[CROWD cheering]

[KIRISHIMA yelling]

[KATSUKI grunts]

[PRESENT MIC]
He countered!

[KIRISHIMA]
Hah!

Nice try, but that's not gonna
work on me, Explosion Boy.

[KATSUKI]
He's still going strong.

But how long can he
keep his Hardening up?

Kirishima! Go straight
for his chin!

[HONENUKI] What you're
rooting for him now, man?

Kirishima and Kacchan.

So that would mean...

Iida and Tokoyami finished
their matches already.

[sighs]

[IZUKU]
I wish I coulda seen them fight!

[grunting]

[PRESENT MIC]
Bakugo's having a heck of a time

dodging Kirishima's
fierce attacks!

[IZUKU] Whoa, Kacchan's
on the defensive?

I guess Kirishima's Quirk
seems simple on the surface,

but it's still effective.

[TENYA]
Midoriya!

[gasps]

I take it that your surgery
must have gone well.

I'm glad!

Yeah. Thank you!

And congrats on your win.

[TENYA]
I'm up against Todoroki.

I watched your fight
with him closely.

Maybe I can learn from it.

Yeah.

Is Ingenium excited that you've
blown through the bracket?

He must be so proud
of his little brother.

[TENYA]
Mm. I'm not sure.

I called him earlier,
but he was working.

[IZUKU]
Oh. Sorry.

No. It's for the best.

When we do talk, maybe I'll
get to tell him that I won.

[TENYA] Ingenium is
an unmatched commander

who honors the hero code.

As the second oldest Iida son,
I strive to be just like him.

[PRESENT MIC yells]
Bakugo is countering again!

But what's this?

It seems to be
working this time!

You've been straining
to keep your body

rock‐hard this
whole fight, right?

But that means you're
overusing your Quirk.

And sooner or later,
you'll fall apart.

[KIRISHIMA gasps]

[KATSUKI yelling]

[KIRISHIMA grunts]
Too much!

[KATSUKI]
The finishing blow.

Die!

[KATSUKI]
There.

Now I understand why
you were trying to avoid

a drawn‐out match with me.

[MIDNIGHT]
Kirishima has been knocked out.

Bakugo is the winner!

[CROWD cheers]

What are you doing, idiot?

I thought you had more guts
than that, Kirishima!

[PRESENT MIC] With that
vicious carpet bombing,

Bakugo advances
to the third round!

Ladies and Gentlemen,
our final four!

Right. I'm off.

[OCHACO]
Deku!

Hi, Midoriya.

It looks like your
surgery went okay.

Yeah.

Recovery Girl healed
me up enough to walk.

Sure, but shouldn't
you be taking it easy?

I wanna watch these
matches in person.

This is where everyone's efforts
are finally gonna pay off.

[PRESENT MIC] The first
match of the semifinals!

Both come from hero families,
making this a battle of elites!

From the hero course,
Tenya Iida! Versus...

His classmate, Shoto Todoroki!

[TENYA] I can't negate his
attacks like Midoriya did.

Plus if he uses his flames now,
he's even more dangerous.

Focus.

[PRESENT MIC]
Start!

[TENYA]
He's not wasting any time.

[PRESENT MIC]
Iida's been surrounded!

[gasps]

[PRESENT MIC] Todoroki's going
in for the win already!

Oh, whoa!

A standing long jump!

[grunts]

Recipro... Burst!

[TENYA] I have ten seconds
before my engines stall!

Which means I have
to win this right now!

[PRESENT MIC]
Look at that speed!

[TODOROKI grunts]

[MINETA, TSUYU, SERO gasp]

[SERO]
That was a heavy hit.

I didn't know he
could kick like that.

[ENDEAVOR growls]

[TENYA]
Eight seconds left.

I've got this.

I'll throw him out of
bounds before he can‐‐

[gasps]

[TENYA]
My muffler's blocked!

When did you‐‐?

[TODOROKI]
When you kicked me.

I've only been showing off
ranged attacks today.

You forgot I could do precision
moves, too, didn't you?

I was trying to
dodge your Recipro.

But it was too fast
to avoid, even for me.

Iida has been immobilized.

Todoroki advances!

[PRESENT MIC]
Todoroki moves on to the finals

without even using
his flames again!

[TODOROKI]
Maybe I don't need you.

[ENDEAVOR] Why are you
holding back? Don't be a fool.

Poor Iida.

I'm sorry, brother.

[STAIN]
Fame... Money...

That's what all of you
who call yourselves

heroes are really after.

[STAIN]
But you bastards are not heroes.

[STAIN]
Except him.

The only one with
permission to kill me.

[STAIN]
All Might is worthy.

[CROWD cheers]

[PRESENT MIC]
And now, Bakugo versus Tokoyami!

Bakugo's vicious rushes
are unstoppable!

That thing is so damn annoying!

Die! Loser!

[TOKOYAMI]
Such brutality.

[PRESENT MIC]
Tokoyami has advanced this far

with an almost unbeatable Quirk.

But this time, it looks
like he's on the ropes!

What is that bird‐brain doing?

He attacked super hard
when he was up against us!

[YAOYOROZU]
There must be a reason.

Dark Shadow.

He can't go on the offensive
because of all the light.

This matchup couldn't
be any worse.

Most people don't know
about his weakness.

Kacchan may not have
figured it out yet.

[TOKOYAMI]
I underestimated him.

I don't have any time to
recharge Dark Shadow's power.

I'm running out of darkness!

[KATSUKI grunts]

[TOKOYAMI] Is he just
trying to wear me down?

It looks like his moves
are getting faster!

[DARK SHADOW yells]

Grab him! Dark Shadow!

[DARK SHADOW grunts]

[PRESENT MIC] Wow! Bakugo
leaps behind Tokoyami!

[KATSUKI]
Stun Grenade!

How'm I supposed to commentate

when I can't see?
What's happening?

[TOKOYAMI]
Tell me, Bakugo.

Did you know of
my weakness before?

I figured it out by attacking
over and over again.

It was a pretty bad
matchup for you.

Almost feel bad.

But you're done.

I surrender.

[MIDNIGHT]
Tokoyami gives up!

Bakugo's the winner
of this match!

[PRESENT MIC] That means
our final fight will be

between Todoroki and Bakugo!

[OCHACO] Man, what a
bummer. Poor Tokoyami.

I totally thought the
bird would win for sure.

I guess that means his Quirk's
not invincible after all.

So light is his
weakness. Interesting.

And Bakugo's the kinda guy
who would exploit that.

You chose a terrifying
person to make your enemy.

Not at all.

Just luck that his Quirk worked
so well against that guy.

These finals have been
one big showcase

for Class 1‐A. Dammit.

[AUDIENCE 24I] It doesn't
matter who wins or loses.

These first‐years are amazing!

[AUDIENCE 24J] The draft is
gonna be so insane this year.

I wonder what this
match will be like.

Besides intense.

[TENYA] We'll have to
take notes for next time.

[IZUKU]
Iida!

[OCHACO, IZUKU]
Whoa! What's wrong?

It's just my phone.

[OCHACO, IZUKU]
Well, that's a relief.

[TENYA]
Mother?

[TENYA] Hello, Mom? I hate
to tell you this, but I lost.

[TENYA'S MOM] No, son,
I'm not calling about that.

I mean, I'm sorry.

But, Tenya, please
listen carefully.

It's your brother.

A villain got Tensei!

[STAIN] You haven't even
noticed it, have you?

This warped society mired
by hypocrisy and vanity.

That's fine, I'll open
your eyes, "heroes."

You will see the world
that you've created.

[KUROGIRI] Please remain calm.
We are of the same mind.

I have been searching for you,

Hero Killer Stain.

I heard of your exploits and
wanted to meet you in person.

I think you'll be interested

in what I have to offer.

[SHIGARAKI]
Hero Killer... Stain.

[ALL MIGHT] Gather 'round!
The preview is here!

[IZUKU] The UA Festival
is coming to an end!

[ALL MIGHT]
The final match will be between

Young Todoroki and Young Bakugo.

So, who do you
think'll win, kiddo?

[IZUKU] Well, Kacchan has
an all‐purpose Quirk

that can be used for
attacking and moving,

and he's clever enough
to come up with

solid tactics and strategies.

However...

[ALL MIGHT]
Okay! My bad for asking.

Just, tell us the title!

[IZUKU] Oh! Next time
it's "Todoroki vs. Bakugo"!

[ALL MIGHT] Young Bakugo
is seduced by female charms

and goes beddy‐bye!

[IZUKU]
Go beyond!

[IZUKU, ALL MIGHT]
Plus Ultra!
