My Hero Academia (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 4 - Strategy, Strategy, Strategy - full transcript
Izuku's having trouble finding a team for the cavalry battle in the next round of the U.A. sports festival. Luckily, he has a plan.
Sorry...
As I thought, no one wants to try
to keep the points for the whole game.
It'd be a better strategy to try
to steal the points at the end.
And unlike Todoroki or Kacchan,
I didn't use my Quirk,
"confidence confidence confidence confidence"
so no one has any confidence in me...
Deku!
Let's be a team!
Uraraka!
I-Is it really okay?
Everyone'll probably be after me
because of my ten million points!
If we run away the whole time,
then you'll win, right?
I-I think you're overestimating
me, Uraraka...
Like I would!
Anyway, it's better to team up
with people you get along with!
"Heart-squeeze"
What's the matter? You look ugly, you know.
Oh, nothing... It's just that you're so bright
that I can't look straight at you...
Actually, I wanted to
team up with you, too. Thanks!
"Urine...?"
For teams, it's best to be with people
you can communicate with smoothly, right?
Yup, yup!
Actually, with your Quirk
and one other person...
...I thought of a plan!
Iida.
The three of us would be
horses with Iida in the front!
And then, if we use Uraraka's Quirk
to make Iida and me lighter,
we'd be able to maneuver easily.
I see!
It's better to have someone
physically strong as the rider,
but I haven't decided who...
Anyway, this is all I could think of
to keep running away until the end...
I expected no less, Midoriya...
But I am afraid I have to refuse.
Ever since the entrance exam,
I just keep losing to you.
You are a wonderful friend,
but that's why, if I just keep
following you, I will never grow.
Bakugo and Todoroki aren't
the only ones who see you as a rival.
I will challenge you.
Iida...
It's already begun.
Everyone's an enemy.
That's right. I'm at the top right now.
I can't just play at being friends.
As I thought, this is great.
You stand out!
Team up with me, person in first place!
Ahh, so close! Who're you?!
I am Mei Hatsume, from the support course!
Oh, that weird person from back then.
I don't know you, but let
me use your position!
She's honest!
If I team up with you,
then I'll inevitably become part of
the team everyone's watching most, right?
If that happens, then my super cute babies
will inevitably be seen
by the big companies.
That means, in other words,
that those big companies will see my babies!
W-Wait a minute.
Babies and big companies? What are you--
--And, I think you guys will also benefit.
--Oh, she's not interested in me...
The support course develops equipment
that helps heroes deal with their Quirks.
I have a ton of babies, so I'm sure
you'll be able to find one that you like!
Oh, has this one caught your eye?
I made this based on a certain hero's backpack,
adding my own original twist to it.
Could you be talking
about the Buster Hero, Air Jet?
I like him, too!
Really?
Yeah, his agency's close,
so I went to tour it before.
--I see. They're already getting along.
--By the way, my Quirk is...
Not being able to team
up with Iida was a blow,
but with Hatsume and Uraraka...
I just need one more person.
It looks like everyone's pretty set
on their teams already, huh?
No, that's fine.
The power our team's missing...
The one who can fill that spot is...
Deku?
...you!
Almost everyone here
has their eyes on Class A.
Why is that?
And like Tetsutetsu said,
Class A is full of themselves about it...
It's strange, isn't it?
The only difference between us
and them is that they fought villains.
Why were those of us in Class B happy
with being in the middle of the pack?
Let's let that arrogant Class A know, guys.
Now then, it's about time to get started!
Come on, wake up, Eraser!
After fifteen minutes
to form teams and talk strategy,
twelve cavalry teams are
lined up on the field!
There are some interesting teams out there.
Now, raise those battle cries!
It's time for U.A.'s bloody battle!
Light the signal fire!
Yes!
Uraraka.
Yes!
Hatsume.
Tokoyami.
Yeah.
I'm counting on you!
I chose you three because I thought
it would be the most stable formation.
Kaminari, you'll be the left wing,
keeping the enemy away with your electricity.
Yaoyorozu, you'll be the right wing.
You are in charge of insulation and
assisting with defense and movement.
Iida, you'll be in front as the main source
of mobility and physical defense.
So you will attack and create diversions
with ice and fire, then, Todoroki?
No.
In battle...
...I will never use my left.
"My heart's pounding!!"
All right! You've made your teams, right?
I'm not gonna ask if you're ready or not!
Tetsutetsu.
No hard feelings, okay?
Yeah!
Now, let's go!
Counting down to the brutal battle royal!
Three!
We're aiming for...
Two!
...one thing.
One!
Start!
It's basically a battle
for the ten million points!
Midoriya, I'll take that!
An attack without delay, huh...
The fate of the pursued...
Fate...
Make your choice, Midoriya!
Choice...!
Of course, our move is to run away!
I won't let you!
What is this?
We're sinking?!
That person's Quirk, huh?
All right!
It's no good... I can't get out!
Uraraka! Hatsume! Turn your faces away!
He flew?
Thanks to the support course, huh?
Follow them!
Jiro!
I know!
Tokoyami!
Good!
Dark Shadow, keep watch over our blind spots!
Got it!
Wow, that's so cool!
The defense that we were lacking...
You're more than making up for it
with your omnidirectional mid-range defense!
That's amazing, Tokoyami!
You're the one who chose me.
We're landing.
Making everyone other
than Uraraka weightless,
so our weight is just Uraraka
plus the equipment and clothes.
What do you think of my babies?
Aren't they cute?
Cuteness can be made, you know.
Excellent mobility!
The babies are amazing, Hatsume!
Right?
It's because I'm making them float...
We're going after them, too!
Come on, Jiro, time to get revenge!
Hey, wait, Hagakure! Your headband's gone!
When did that happen?!
Profiting while others fight.
Now then, even though barely two
minutes have passed since we've started,
It's already turned into a free-for-all!
Fights over the headbands
breaking out all over!
Ignoring the ten million points and going
for second to fourth places isn't bad, either!
Fighting?
No, this is...
...a one-sided pillage!
Shoji?
What? By himself?
But it's a team battle!
Let's put some space between us for now.
We can't be caught standing
still against multiple opponents!
What?
What's wrong, Uraraka?
I'm stuck!
That's Mineta's...
Where'd it come from?
From here... Midoriya...
What? Is that allowed?
It is!
I didn't expect any less from you, Midoriya.
Asui, too?
That's amazing, Shoji!
Call me Tsu!
Team Mineta makes use of the overwhelming
difference in their sizes! They're like a tank!
Midoriya, get away!
My baby was torn apart!
Sorry! But we got away!
Kacchan!
Don't get carried away!
Damn it!
Tokoyami!
--He's gotten separated from his horses!
--What's with this guy?
Is that okay?!
Nice catch!
It's a technicality, so it's okay!
It wouldn't have been if he'd
touched the ground, though!
Thanks, Uraraka!
It's hard to control with just one foot.
Yeah, I know.
Landing like this is inefficient...
We can't run to the air anymore.
We'll have to survive this with our increased
mobility from Uraraka's Zero Gravity
and with Tokoyami's Dark Shadow.
As expected, everyone's
after the first place team,
and Class A is in hot pursuit!
Everyone's got skills!
Those Class A guys are good.
With all those flashy moves,
even just watching's fun!
There's this much difference just
from their experience fighting villains!
Now, let's take a look
at each team's points...
It's been seven minutes! Here are
the current rankings up on the screen!
Huh? It's kinda...
What? Wait a minute!
Other than Midoriya,
Class A isn't doing so well...
Bakugo? What?
Class A is too simple-minded.
He got us!
What'd you say, bastard?
Give that back! I'll kill you!
Since Midnight said it was the first game,
it wouldn't make sense for them to cut
a ton of people in the qualifier, right?
Assuming they'd keep about
forty people for the next stage,
we just made sure we stayed
within that number as we ran,
observing from the back the Quirks and
personalities of those who would be our rivals.
There's no point in being obsessive
over winning in the prelims, right?
You did this as a class?
Well, it wasn't a consensus,
but it was a good idea, right?
Hey, they're coming.
It's better than going
after a temporary "top"
like a horse with a carrot
waving in front of its face.
Oh, while I'm at it, you're
famous, aren't you?
As the victim of the sludge incident!
Tell me about it sometime--
About how it feels to be
attacked by villains once a year.
Kirishima... change of plan...
Before we get Deku,
let's kill all these guys!
Class B had a long-term strategy
that involved throwing the qualifier, huh?
It's true that they could leave a stronger
impression by overturning the mood
that favored Class A before
the sports festival started.
But based on their way of thinking,
it means they won't necessarily come after me.
Everyone, it'll be easier to run aw--
Less than half the time is left now!
It won't be that easy, huh?
The cavalry battle is about
to enter the second half!
In this unexpected rise of Class B,
who will wear the
ten million points in the end?!
I'll be taking that now.
As I thought, no one wants to try
to keep the points for the whole game.
It'd be a better strategy to try
to steal the points at the end.
And unlike Todoroki or Kacchan,
I didn't use my Quirk,
"confidence confidence confidence confidence"
