My Hero Academia (2016) s04e01 Episode Script

The Scoop on U.A. Class 1-A

1 Even if I don't have a Quirk, can I become a hero? You can become a hero.
My Quirk is the power to transfer power Crowned with the name, "One For All"! One person cultivates the power and passes it on to another person, who also cultivates it and passes it on.
It is the crystallization of power that spins together the voices of those who need help with a courageous heart.
And next, it is your turn.
About 80% of the world's population is born with some kind of special trait, a Quirk, in this superhuman society.
"Quirk" To fight against villains using their Quirks to commit crimes, "Villains" "Enemies" the profession of "hero" was created.
I, Izuku Midoriya, dreamed of becoming a hero and enrolled in the prestigious U.
A.
High School as I continue to run toward my dream.
With my friends who are working toward the same goal, we stand up to any difficulties and save people with a smile in order to become the greatest heroes! That's right, this is my hero academia! It's weak! That's because my back wasn't in it! United States of Smash! The villain has stopped moving! --Victory for All Might! --All Might! --Victory for All Might! He's standing in victory! I can't believe this is his last fight Don't just stare at that.
Get your files together! Yes, ma'am! "Juko News" Hero name: All Might.
He became partners with the genius, David Shield, and came into the limelight at the world level.
After returning to Japan, he started his own agency, and as the immovable number one hero and Symbol of Peace-- No, no! No one'll buy our newspaper with a bland article like that! We need a scoop the likes of which have never been seen before! We're already the last ones to put out a special issue on All Might's retirement "Company A" "Company O" "Company S" All of All Might's acquaintances are tight-lipped It's your job to do something about that.
What do you have on the last villain All Might fought? The police are treating that as super top-secret information.
All I know is that he's the mastermind behind the League of Villains-- You can't just wait for stories to fall into your lap! You have to go after them! Oh, dear The editor-in-chief doesn't look good when she's mad.
You're so pretty, it's a waste.
"Freelance Journalist Taneo Tokuda" Oh, Tane! Long time no see.
Editor-in-Chief I've got a good story Next, it's your turn.
What do you think these words mean? I defeated the mastermind.
You're next.
In other words, it's a warning to other villains, right? Don't you think the way he said it was too nice for it to be that? "I'll get you bastards next!" He could've said something like that.
What are you trying to say? Four months ago, when All Might suddenly became a teacher at U.
A.
High School, he was nearing his limit as a hero.
And the message he left was "Next, it's your turn.
" Does that mean? That's right.
All Might is looking for someone in the next generation to take his place among the students at U.
A.
No, looking at his last words, he's already decided on who that is.
And you already have an idea of who that is, don't you? At first, I thought it'd be one of U.
A.
's Big Three, the third year, Togata.
He also regularly visits the agency run by Sir Nighteye, All Might's former sidekick.
It could totally be him! However, it appears All Might and Sir Nighteye have parted ways.
And I haven't had any information saying the two have contacted each other.
Could it be camouflage? It's possible, but I'm thinking along different lines.
I've heard that All Might is putting in extra work teaching those in Class 1-A at U.
A.
Class 1-A All Might's successor is among them? I believe that's the case.
But U.
A.
has increased security after being attacked twice by the League of Villains.
A freelance journalist like me would have a very hard time getting permission to-- Very well.
We'll do something about it on our end.
However-- Of course, I will only provide the scoop to your paper.
Please buy it for a lot.
"The Scoop on U.
A.
Class 1-A" A newspaper? "Pro Hero - Shota Aizawa - Quirk: Erasure" Yeah.
A newspaper wants to do a feature on you all.
Isn't that amazing, Deku? Y-Yeah Sh-She's so close! It's kind of embarrassing.
Why? The sports festival was broadcast around the country, right? Mina, we'll be in the paper! We've gotta look our best! Yeah! You don't have to do much, though, Hagakure Don't get too excited.
The article is supposed to be about how you students are doing in the dorms you just moved into.
The principal thought it would be good for your parents and guardians to see you all living happily in the dorms, --so he gave special permission.
That's why --Do you think the reporter'll be a woman? A woman newscaster? --so he gave special permission.
That's why A female news announcer? He said it was for a newspaper.
"Pant" "female announcer" If you think about it, "announcer" sounds like "bouncer," which sounds like "bouncy boo--" So you better not do anything like that.
You don't have to be like that, Mr.
Aizawa.
I want to report on the U.
A.
students in their natural state in the dorms.
Mr.
Tokuda, I didn't say you could come in yet-- I was told I could be here from 8 a.
m.
to 6 p.
m.
It's already time.
Hello, everyone.
I'm Tokuda, a reporter.
Thanks for having me here today.
Nice to meet you! You don't have to do anything special.
Please just show the camera how you normally live.
I might ask you questions occasionally, so I'll be counting on you then.
Oh, he's so delightful and handsome! Not a woman, huh? What to do? I'm always sparkling, so I can't help but be a wonderful subject for pictures.
You're amazing, Aoyama.
I'm sure you've already heard from the principal, but please do not interfere with my reporting.
--I want-- --I understand.
If you need anything, please let me know.
I won't need anything.
Everyone in Class 1-A is a promising candidate to become a hero in the future, right? Iida, if there's a problem, let me know immediately.
Got it? Yes, sir! As the class representative for Class 1-A, I, Tenya Iida, will carry out my duty-- Okay, then, um What would you usually be doing now? Having breakfast! You don't have to be so nervous.
Just pretend I'm not here This reporter is up to something, but it doesn't smell criminal.

There are 20 students in Class 1-A.
I got permission for you to go talk to them, but how are you planning to discover who the successor is? I can narrow it down if I think about who All Might would've considered.
For example, the six students from Class 1-A in the sports festival finals.
I'll try looking at them first.
I said that, but I already had someone in mind from the start.
It was a simple process of elimination.
Katsuki Bakugo's abilities are on par with those of pro heroes, but in middle school, he declared that he would surpass All Might, so it's hard to imagine him as All Might's successor.
The runner-up at the sports festival, Shoto Todoroki, can also be eliminated.
After all, his father is the number two hero, Endeavor.
It's hard to think he would let his son be All Might's successor.
Check, with the rook.
The only ones left then are the third place Fumikage Tokoyami or Tenya Iida, or Eijiro Kirishima No My instinct, which has gotten me many scoops, is telling me It's Izuku Midoriya Hey.
All Might! He's the one who will be the next All Might the next Symbol of Peace.
"Izuku Midoriya" "Quirk: One For All" "Smashes villains with a super power passed down from one generation to the next.
" "Affiliation: U.
A.
High School Hero Class 1-A" " Birthday: 7/15" "Height: 166 cm" "Blood Type: O" "Likes: Pork Cutlet Bowl" "All Might (True Form)" "Quirk: One For All" "Smashes villains with a super power passed down from one generation to the next.
" "Affiliation: U.
A.
High School Hero Course Teacher" "Birthday: 6/10" "Height: 220 cm" "Blood Type: A" "Likes: Yakushima Cedar" What's up, All Might? Actually, I was just at the hospital for a regular check up, and since I'd been there since morning, I was a little hungry.
So "Our All Might" All Might! You've helped me so much! As a citizen of this country, please let me thank you! You want meat buns, right? Here, take them all! They're good! It's raining, so take this umbrella, too! It'll block the rain! Wow! So I brought these to share with the class.
As expected of All Might You're so popular.
It's only natural, though.
You're the number one hero.
Protecting the people this whole time, fighting against evil villains, you were the Symbol of Peace who brought courage and smiles to so many Next, it's your turn-- No, it's all of your turns.
Right.
I'll train you hard again starting tomorrow, okay? Please do! You're working hard.
Training on your own before dinner, too? Huh? Um, yes Something smells good.
They're meat buns Would you like one? Yes, please.
Oh? You're a fan of All Might's, too, Mr.
Tokuda? Anyone in my generation who said he wasn't a fan of All Might's is bogus.
He was so cool he was blinding to look at, and so powerful.
I wonder if you remember the bombing 18 years ago at an industrial complex Of course I know about it! All 24 of the people working there at the time were saved by All Might, right? My father was among them, you know.
It was a terrible catastrophe where even the rescue squads hesitated.
Even so It's fine now.
Why? Because I am here.
Dad! I turned my camera on it without thinking.
"All Might Saves People from Flames" "Police Hurry to Find the Cause" "All Might carrying a victim (reader-submitted photograph)" The picture I took then was in the paper.
It wasn't just that someone from my family had been rescued.
It also brought light into my own life.
I can't thank him enough.
Is that right? That's why I was really shocked by All Might's retirement.
What will happen to the superhuman society now that it's lost its Symbol of Peace? That's right, there's this vague unease But that unease is slowly starting to seep into society.
This person's uneasy, too I have to work harder After inheriting One For All from All Might Midoriya.
Yes? There is hope.
Huh? Next, it's your turn.
What, a picture? But you don't have a camera.
You even printed it out?! I thought my Quirk was only good for taking snapshots on vacation.
A camera lens? I can produce them anywhere.
Freelance journalist, Taneo Tokuda.
Quirk: Whole-Body Lens.
He can produce lenses anywhere on his body to take pictures.
He can even print them out from his chest! With this, he can get as many scoops as he wants! All Might's last words after the Kamino incident Next, it's your turn.
As I thought, he was saying them to you.
As I investigated, I found a lot of similarities.
How the Quirk you manifested was a power type.
How you tried to rescue Bakugo in middle school when he was taken by a villain.
How All Might was the one who saved you both back then.
How you enrolled in U.
A.
at the same time All Might became a teacher here.
I went to the Pussycats' agency, too.
And I met Kota.
Kota? There, my guess was confirmed That you were All Might's successor.
What do you think about my deductions? Huh? Um uh, that's You can't lie, huh? I like that.
You're acting very much like a hero.
Everyone, it's about time for dinner.
Gather quickly, everyone! Let's go, Ochaco.
I wonder if Deku's still training I wonder what they're talking about U-Um, I You don't have to worry.
I don't plan on writing an article based on a guess with no evidence.
I'm the one at fault for coming here under false pretenses saying I'm writing an article about the dorm life of U.
A.
students.
I'm sorry about that.
But I just had to know that hope was not lost.
Mr.
Tokuda With this, I don't have to give false encouragement to those who are uneasy.
I can proudly report that even if All Might retires, there is still hope.
I'm sorry I made you feel bad.
But Thanks.
It's no problem.
Also Huh?! Wh-What was that?! I'm going to cherish this picture and keep it inside my body.
Until I publish my book about you As for its title, I think I'll call it "When the New Symbol of Peace Was Young.
" What do you think? I'll give my all to make that true.
Do your best, hero.
I will! It was the end of the time he was allotted, but Mr.
Tokuda left without even saying goodbye to the class.
After hearing how Mr.
Tokuda felt, I felt again how big what I'd inherited really was.
But, even so, I Deku, it's time for dinner.
Oh, sorry.
I'll be right there.
Deku, what were you talking about with the reporter earlier? Um, well I smell meat.
Huh? Oh, All Might brought snacks for everyone earlier.
He said to eat it with everyone.
What is it? Meat buns.
Meat buns? If we don't bring it to everyone soon, they'll get cold.
Yeah.
Everyone, there're meat buns! They're from All Might! Thank you! "Juko News" "The next day" Welcome back, Tane! How was it? Did you figure out who All Might's successor is? Sorry Huh? It looks like I jumped to the wrong conclusion What, so it was a waste of time? I had to do a lot of groundwork to get permission for you to go there, you know.
I'm very sorry, Editor-in-Chief! I'm not saying this'll make up for it, but I came back with a different scoop.
All Might buying and eating a meat bun! This is good! So cute! Well done! As expected of Tane! The heaven-sent scoop finder! Much obliged I'm sorry All Might.
A summer cold? Please don't get me sick.
Yeah, I know.
Sorry.
The vague unease from All Might's retirement It will eventually become reality and become even greater.
