Episode 1 Izuku Midoriya: Origin
The scene opens up on a school, crying can be heard before it shifts to show young Midoriya crying.
"Aww… why are you crying!" Urakara asks. Midoriya shrugs.
That's mean, Kacchan.
The picture zooms out to show Midoriya is standing in front of a boy who is on the ground holding his arm, also crying. Midoriya shifts so he is in a ready fighting stance even though he is shaking in fear.
Can't you see he's crying? If you keep going, I-I-I'll never forgive you!
"That's Midoriya for you, always standing up to face the problem, even when he's shaking in his boots." Aizawa says in an even tone. The other teachers nod in agreement and All Might smiled to himself, so his young prodigy has always been like that?
The scene shifts to show young Bakugo and two others standing behind him. Bakugo smirks and laughs, the boys behind him prepare to use their quirks.
"Bakugo! What the hell are you doing?!" Kirishima yells. "Shut up!" Bakugo shouts.
Even though you're Quirkless…
Everyone was suddenly very confused, Quirkless? Midoriya wasn't Quirkless, he had one of the strongest Quirks out of the whole class, why would Bakugo call him Quirkless? The teachers besides Nezu and Recovery Girl were also contemplating the same thing.
Bakugo slams his fist into his hand creating an explosion.
…you're pretending to be a hero, Deku?
Midoriya cry's out in fear as the boys approach him to beat him up. Right before he is about to be hit by Bakugo the screen zooms out to show the sky.
Bakugo crossed his arms as he felt his classmate's eyes on him. So what? He beat him up, but it was Quirkless Deku, he deserved it.
Sounds of Nature can be heard before crying rings out.
Midoriya is on the ground badly beat up, the boy he was protecting crying over him.
All men are not created equal.
Midoriya looks up at the sky in despair clearly broken.
"I can't believe you guys beat him up, you are such a bully!" Uraraka said clearly angry. Bakugo said nothing, he didn't need to justify himself.
Midoriya looked down at his lap, it was just the beginning and everyone was already seeing how weak he was.
This was the reality I learned about society at the young age of four.
Running can be heard and music starts to play. An older Midoriya is seen running quickly.
And that was my first and last setback.
"Good, don't let that bully put you down!" Ashido calls out.
Midoriya waits to cross the street hopping back and forth on his feet.
"You're so energetic Midoriya!" Asui says from behind him.
The second the crossing sign is green he starts running with a smile on his face looking up in amazement. A villain is seen terrorizing the populace. He roars out in anger. Midoriya finally stops, with a smile on his face looking up at the villain.
The screen pauses for a moment to display Izuku Midoriya's introduction card in yellow and green with the words "Izuku Midoriya" written on it.
Everyone cheered.
The villain looks down and the screen zooms out to show he is ginormous.
That's a huge villain!
"Wow that guy is huge!" Sero exclaims. Midoriya put his face in his hands, he knew what day this was, there really was no getting around it, he was going to be exposed. Todoroki looked over to Midoriya, he seemed very nervous so he pat his back a few times to try to comfort him. Midoriya looked up at him smiling, his face red.
Music begins to play, All Might is shown from different angles before showing him from behind in front of a glowing space.
Everyone in the room perked up.
"No way, there's an opening to?!" Kaminari was pumped as were the rest of the class.
Midoriya's face is shown looking up in aww.
5 a.m. and I hold my breath like the quiet is sinking into the air.
The image panes out to show him kneeling, sparkles all around him before standing up. All Might is shown again in a superhero pose
Biting my nails on the emergency stairs
Midoryia reaches out his hand towards All Might, and it cuts back to a close up of All Might from behind.
Which will tomorrow be?
Midoriya reaches out even further.
The day has come
"Well you very clearly admire All Might." Tokoyami says. The others nod, "Yup that much is obvious." Kirishima puts in.
An image of each of his classmates pop up one by one, pausing only to show a sign reading My Hero and then once again to show another sign reading Academia. Only to stop on title screen reading My Hero Academia.
"That's me!" Aoyama shouts. They each call out in excitement as the see each other flash by.
A raining street is shown.
The night that will never end
The camera pans down to show Midoriya on a bridge.
The rain will never stop. They exist in this good-for-nothing world
Midoriya looks down before the camera shows a close up of Midoriya, he is sad and soaking wet as he starts walking.
"Why do you look so sad?" Hagakure asks. Midoriya just looks at his lap.
"Ya, and what's with these lyrics? I mean I'm loving the beat but the lyrics are sad." Jiro comments.
Midoriya is shown walking looking down as all of his notebooks pass by at his side.
Isn't it a little strange? I doze off and can't stay standing. It's not like I'm blaming you.
"What are those?" Yaoyorozu asks. Midoriya's face is red, "My Hero Analysis books." Bakugo scoffs but the others seem interested.
The notebooks stop and just his feet are shown as he walks before he stops. All his notebooks are shown in a quick transition before a young Midoriya and Bakugo are show with a black bar separating them.
Playing alone in a daydream
"Aww! You are both so cute!" Ashido says.
"I am not cute!" Bakugo growls.
Suddenly Midoriya and Bakugo switch sides and are shown back to back, now older. Midoryia looks really sad.
Will you even be embarrassed of what you imagine there?
Suddenly it zooms in on their faces, Midoriya looking really determined. They both grit their teeth before being shown in their hero costumes both look mad before their fits are shown meeting in a powerful punch that explodes.
"Well that's one way to show your relationship." Iida comments.
An image of Shigaraki is shown reaching towards the camera.
The suddenness of Shigaraki's appearance startles a few in the room.
A close up of All Might's fist is shown before you see a full image of him punching towards the camera. The angle then changes to show a ton of enemy's getting swept away by the force of All Might's punch.
Getting entangles in a maze, a maze
Nomu is shown before All Might punches again and he and All Might are shown fighting.
Will you say you will go even then?
All Might is so cool! How can I ever live up to him? Midoriya think admiring his hero.
Kurogiri is shown, his shadow getting closer to camera, before it changes to Eraserhead in the midst of battle.
The sound of the starting bell played by the small traveler
"Mr. Aizawa can be so cool!" Ojiro whispered. Though no one could see it Hagakure nodded her head in agreement.
Midoriya is shown running before Uraraka, Iida, Mineta, Tsuyu, Todoroki, and Kirishima are all shown in their hero costumes running while using their powers.
Don't know, don't know where you're going. Aren't you actually scared? Each step you take is changing
"That's us!" Kirishima exclaimed. Bakugo smiled. "I look awesome in my hero costume!"
Midoriya is shown in his hero costume also running before punching the camera. His fist is shown shifting back and forth between his own fist and All Might's.
The day has come!
Everyone seemed a little confused at that, sure Midoriya's power was like All Might's but it wasn't exactly the same…
The whole class is shown in pairs before an image of the whole class in their hero costumes in front of the school is shown all posing prepared for battle. The music stops, the opening ends.
"That was so cool! I can't believe we get an opening to!" Mineta calls out.
On the other side of the room the teachers were smiling at their student's enthusiasm.
A light is show shining brightly out of a window in a large building.
It all began in China, in Qingquig City.
A glowing smiling baby is shown. Baby crying can be heard.
There was news that a baby that gave off light was born.
The camera zooms out to show a man looking in from behind glass, absolutely shocked and shaking, and arrow points at him with the words Papa written on it.
Everyone laughed at that.
The clip then changes to show many different children with different powers looking shocked.
Ever since then, superpowers were discovered in various places, and time passed without the cause being identified.
The Earth is shown before being blocked by the moon.
Before we knew it, the supernatural became normal, and dreams became reality
The moon moves and the Earth is once again shown, this time with the sun shining brightly behind it. A cap flows over the camera before All Might can be seen can be seen walking down a tunnel.
"It's All Might!" Sero calls out.
The world has become a superhuman society, and about 80% of the world's population now has some kind of special trait.
"You really know your stuff Midoriya." Shoji comments. Midoriya blushed and rubbed the back of his head.
"W-Well, I was really into all things hero related, so I did a lot of research..."
All Might stands in front of two doors as the open, light comes shining brightly into the tunnel, screams can be heard. Wind from outside makes All Might's cape flutter
In this world swirling with chaos, the profession that everyone once dreamed about and admired came into the limelight.
The villain from before is shown roaring and smashing things. He knocks over a power pole and people on the ground begin screaming.
"It's the villain from before, and he knocked over a power pole, it could fall and hurt someone!" Yaoyorozu said worriedly.
That profession is…
Music begins to play. A buff looking man is running before stopping and punching his fists together, then he catches the falling pole. The people relax a little.
"Death Arms!" Midoriya shouts excitedly.
A bystander speaks.
Oh, it's Death Arms! He carries out justice through his great physical strength—
A close up of Death Arms is shown lifting the pole.
The Punching Hero!
"That would be a nice Quirk to have, super strength." Jiro says off handedly.
Death Arm's introduction card is shown in blue. The scene the shifts to show a ribbon of water flowing in front of the bystanders.
Everyone, this is dangerous. Stay back, stay back!
"Backdraft!" Midoriya was very excited, even though he already knew how this turned out he loved seeing heroes in action.
A man dressed in what looks like firefighting equipment is shown.
The rescue specialist, Backdraft, is her, too!
Backdraft's introduction card is shown in red and blue.
"Imagine all the things you could do with that quirk!" Kaminari said.
"Well there is a reason he chose to become a hero!" Shoji pointed out.
Midoriya is shown trying to get a good look from the very back of the crowd. Bystanders are speaking.
But man, turning into a monster's an amazing Quirk.
The men in front of Midoriya are shown to be the ones talking.
What did he do?
He stole someone's bag and went out of control when he was cornered.
Behind them Midoriya is still struggling to find a way to get to the front.
A Quirk like that, and he's a bag snatcher?
Everyone seemed to agree.
"What a waste of a quirk." Midnight sighed.
Midoriya finally finds a way in and walks through the crowd, a man is shown talking on the phone.
I'm sorry, the train's…
Midoriya walks past him.
Yes, I don't know what time I will make it into work…
"Its sad how common events like this are now." Ojiro said, Koda nodded in agreement.
A person fly's in from above the man catching his attention before a group of girls are shown looking completely in love and excited screaming out in joy.
You can do it, Kamui!
"There they are, the fangirls, willing to do anything for you!" Mineta cried out. The others looked at him in disgust.
The music really begins to pick up. A man made of wood is shown running towards where the villain is, he easily jumps on top of things to get to the top of the building. Just as he lands he jumps away quickly before the villains hand almost smashes him.
"That was a close one!" Sato exclaimed.
He is shown above the villain before the villain yells out.
Get away!
Midoriya finally gets to the front of the crowd so he can see everything. He looks up excitedly.
Who's fighting?
"Why are you so excited?" Tokoyami asked. Midoriya blushed.
"L-like I said earlier I researched everything relating to heroes, s-so any time there was a fight I would go to watch so I could get a close up look at techniques and stuff."
The villain is shown punching at the hero's. Kamui wraps his arm around a pole dodging the punch before landing on top of it.
Kamui Woods!
Kamui's intro card shows in blue and red. Midoriya looks really excited, and the man next to him is looking at him smirking.
The young and talented rising star!
The others couldn't help but smile at his excitement.
The man next to him speaks.
You were the one asking, but you gave a perfect commentary, kid.
"He's right, maybe we should have him commentate the sports festival." Hizashi stated. Nezu smiled.
"I would agree with you, but I believe Midoriya would much rather compete in the festival." Hizashi leaned back in his chair.
"I suppose your right."
Midoriya looks at him and the man points to him.
You're a fanboy, aren't you?
Midoriya blushes.
Uh, well…
He looks to the side embarrassed.
"Yes, yes he is." Todoroki stated matter of factly. Midoriya's face burned.
"Todoroki!"
The others around him snickered.
"Well you can't really deny it can you Midoriya?" Kirishima asked. Midoriya looked down.
"I don't think its necessarily a bad thing though." Todoroki said.
"You are smarter because of knowledge you have from your years of fanboying." Midoriya's face was a tomato. He put his face in his hands, the others were laughing.
"Don't call it that…"
From behind him he heard a scoff. "Deku's fanboying does nothing for him, he is just a stalkerish nerd!"
Kamui is shown running down some train tracks, before jumping to dodge a hit by the villain and running of his arm.
"That's so cool!" Ashido cheered.
He then wraps his arm around the villains other arm in an attempt to restrain him, but the villain just uses the connection to throw Kamui around.
Kamui quickly releases his hold and lands on a building.
Illegal use of powers during rush hour and robbery resulting in bodily injury. You are the incarnation of evil.
The teachers sweat dropped, that was not what they would consider the definition of evil…
Kamui puts out his arm and it grows in size. Midoriya is once again shown before pointing towards the battle.
Oh, here it comes!
"What?!" The others yelled out in excitement.
The man beside him yells out.
Show us something flashy, Tree-Man!
Midoriya pulls in his hand and makes a fist and begins speaking.
Pre-emptive…
Kamui speaks.
…Binding…
Kamui and Midoriya speak at the same time.
…Lacquered Chain Prison!
"Wow, your fanboy knowledge goes deep Midoriya! You even know their moves names!" Mineta shouted.
Kamui's arm suddenly grows very large very quickly, the villain puts his arm up to protect himself
"He's gonna get it now!" Sero yelled, they all cheered
A shout comes out of nowhere. The music stops.
Canyon Cannon
I giant lady suddenly kicks the villain knocking him out.
Everyone was shocked.
Midoriya and the man look shocked as well as the other hero's. Kamui his stopping half way through his attack and looks like he is sprouting a tree.
Huh?
Asui put a finger to her cheek. "Oh, this is the day Mt. Lady made her debut isn't it?" Midoriya nodded excitedly.
The giant girl lands and Midoriya looks on in shock when suddenly lost of men with cameras start taking pictures muttering.
Her it is, here it is, here it is, here it is.
The giant lady is bent over making sure the villain is knocked out. Cupid music begins to play, she speaks.
Today is the day of my debut!
She turns to the people.
My name is Mt. Lady.
She wiggles her butt.
A pleasure to make you ass-quaintance.
"Was that really necessary?" Uraraka asked.
"Ya, she's just encouraging the perverts, look at them!" Yaoyorozu exclaimed pointing at the screen. Mineta had blood running from his nose, his eyes bulging.
The men continue to take pictures.
Here it is, here it is, here it is.
Midoriya is frowning as he writes in his notebook, and the old man beside him is blushing. The crowd is cheering for Mt. Lady, the picture goes back to Kamui.
Sh-she's getting the credit…
That's gotta suck. They all thought.
Inspiring music begins to play once again. Everyone cheers and Mt. Lady waves her arms before she starts to shrink back to her normal size.
Along with the superpowers came an explosive increase in crime.
The other superheros are standing around looking annoyed
As the country was stuck in the slow progress of drastic law reforms, courageous people started performing heroic acts from out of comic books.
The villain is seen tied up by the police while Mt. Lady is being interviewed.
"That's one way to make a first impression." Sato said.
Guarding against superpowers and defending against evil. Heroes were soon accepted by the public, and it was established as an official position.
The camera zooms in on Mt. Lady's face.
Based on their performance, they are paid by the government and gain renown among the masses.
Mt. Lady's expression shifts to be gleeful and greedy.
They all sweat dropped. What's with that face?
Midoriya is shown standing right in front of a crater made by Mt. Lady's landing writing in his notebook.
Gigantification, huh?
The camera zooms in on him as he mutters to himself and writes quickly.
Bakugo rolled his eyes. "Here we go…" Midoriya blushed.
She looks like she'll be popular, and it's an amazing Quirk, but thinking about the damage to the city that'll go hand in hand with that, its use might be limited? No, but whether or not she can control the size…
The others were surprised, now that they could clearly hear what he was saying, he make some really good points.
The teachers were also shocked, they knew Midoriya had a very analytical mind, but to this extent.
"We should try to find some way to capitalize off of Midoriya's mind." Aizawa said. The others nodded.
"If we can help him learn to use it quickly during battle, he could become twice as strong." All Might said, proud of his student.
The man that stood next to Midoriya suddenly pops up next to him.
Hey wait, you're taking notes? You wanna be a hero? That's great! You can do it!
Midoriya looks up shocked before smiling and blushing brightly.
Yes! I'll do my best!
SO CUTE! It didn't matter who they were, that was the face of an angel.
The music stops and the episode title screen pops up reading "Episode 1: Izuku Midoriya: Origin"
"Oh this is your origin episode Midoriya, we will most likely get to see the past if that is the case." Iida said. His past, they were going to see his past… I guess Embra told me to be prepared for a reason…
The scene cuts to a school the words "Aldera Junior High" above it. The image then cuts to a classroom with the teacher talking.
Since you're all third years, it's time for you to think seriously about your future.
Midoriya is shown writing at his desk.
I'll pass out handouts for your future plans now, but…
The teacher suddenly picks up the papers and throws them all across the room.
…you're all… pretty much planning to go into the hero course, right?
Yeah!
"That's not very practical…" Asui said.
All the students in the room start cheering and showing off their quirks.
Yes, yes, you all have wonderful Quirks!
Midoriya raises his hand slightly looking down.
"Not showing off Midoriya?" Aoyama asked. Iida spoke for him.
"With Midoriya's quirk it wouldn't be practical for him to show off. Even if he wanted to he would probably just injure himself, it wouldn't be worth it.
But using your powers at school is against the rules!
Bakugo suddenly yells out over everyone.
Teach!
He is shown to be leaning against his chair with his feet on the desk.
Don't lump us all in the same group. I'm not gonna be stuck at the bottom with the rest of these rejects!
"You really need to fix his ego, it will defiantly start a problem later on if he continues like this." Gran said. The teachers sighed. We have a lot of work cut out for us.
Bakugo's intro card pops up in red and blue with the words "Katsuki Bakugo" written on it.
Everyone cheered for Bakugo, even though they felt conflicted about it with how he was acting. Bakugo smirked.
The others students in the classroom yell in outrage.
-That was uncalled for, Katsuki!
-Yeah, yeah!
Bakugo yells back at them.
You all should shut up like the extras you are!
"That's uncalled for!" Iida Shouted.
The teacher looks at his clipboard.
Oh, if I remember correctly, you want to go to U.A. High, right, Bakugo?
Everyone looks shocked, Midoriya puts his head on the desk and peaks out threw his arms.
"Why are you acting so nervous?" Uraraka asked. Midoriya pointed to the screen.
"Just watch."
U.A.? That national school?!
It was in the top 0.2% this year, you know!
Their acceptance rate's always really low too!
Everyone was smiling, that's right, the acceptance rate is that low, but they still passed the entrance exam and got in!
Bakugo speaks again.
That's exactly why you guys are just extras!
Bakugo pushes back in his chair and then hops up onto his desk.
The all sweat dropped.
I aced the mock test! I'm the only one at this school who could possibly get into U.A.
A picture of All Might is shown.
I'll definitely surpass All Might and become the top hero! My name'll be inscribed on the list of top earners!
"That's one heck of a dream you got there young Bakugo." All Might said loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.
"Ah? That's not a dream, its what's going to happen!" Bakugo stated. All Might sweat dropped.
"Then I hope you are prepared for trial after trial, getting this status is not a walk in the park." Bakugo scoffed.
"I know that!"
The teacher speaks again.
Oh yeah, Midoriya wanted to go to U.A., too, right?
Bakugo freezes and Midoriya wraps his head around his arms on his desk.
Realization hit the group "Is this why you were so nervous?" Iida asked.
"Why are they all so shocked?" Hagakure asked.
He slowly looks up again to see everyone is staring at him before they all suddenly burst out into laughter.
Everyone, besides Bakugo that is, was surprised by this.
"Why are they laughing?" Ojiro asked.
"Ya, is it really that surprising that someone with such a strong quirk want to get into U.A.?" Jiro asked.
Huh? Midoriya? No way!
You can't get into the hero course just by studying!
Midoriya suddenly stands shaking and looking scared.
Th-They got rid of that rule! There's just no precedent…
"Why would you only get in by studying?" Sero asked. "Ya you have such an awesome quirk!" Kirishima exclaimed.
In the back even, the teachers were having a hard time understanding.
"He has such a strong quirk, why would his classmates laugh at him?" Cementoss questioned.
"This does raise a lot of questions." Aizawa said.
Suddenly Bakugo slams his fist on Midoriya's desk and explodes it into pieces. Midoriya is blown away and lands on his bottom.
"What the hell Bakugo?!" Kirishima exclaimed.
"Not cool man." Kaminari said.
Hey, Deku!
Midoriya looks up fearfully. Bakugo looks menacingly at him with his hand raised ready to blow again.
You're below the rejects! You're Quirkless! How can you even stand in the same ring as me?
"There it is again, Quirkless, he's not Quirkless, we know he's not, why do you keep calling him that?" Tokoyami asked. Bakugo ground his teeth.
"Because he is Quirkless!"
The teachers were also contemplating this. All Might was sweating heavily.
The teacher does nothing to stop the fight that's going on nor do any of the other students. Midoriya waves his hands in front of him and backs up until he is pressed against the wall.
"Why is the teacher not stopping this?" Ectoplasm questioned.
"This is not okay behavior, and the teachers doing nothing!" Thirteen exclaimed.
No, wait Kacchan! It's not like I'm trying to compete with you or anything! Believe me!
Midoriya looks down.
It's just that it's been my goal ever since I was little. And well… …I won't know unless I try…
"Don't let Bakugo push you down!" Uraraka yelled. The others cheered in agreement. Midoriya's face was red, he hated the others seeing him like this. Bakugo on the other hand was fuming, why were they sticking up for that useless nerd?!
Bakugo looked furious, he put his hands out both of them steaming. The camera zooms out, Midoriya is shaking and all the students look like demons with lowing red eyes.
"Waa… That looks scary, but I'm sure they don't actually look like that so why…" Ashido was answered by Embra, who had not spoken since the episode began.
"As I have previously stated, this show is from Midoriya's perspective, as such we get to hear his thoughts and see what he see's, however we also get to see things the way he sees them, so what you are looking at now is how he see's the situation." Ashido was happy with the explanation.
"Man Midoriya, that does look pretty scary." Sero comments.
Whaddaya mean, unless you try?!
Midoriya looks down sad.
What the hell can you do? You're Quirkless!
The class if laughing behind him.
Midoriya was looking down at his lap when Todoroki put a hand on Midoriya's shoulder.
"Don't let them intimidate you, you're plenty strong." Midoriya smiled at him.
The seen changes to display some buildings, the words "12:02 p.m. -The same city" A woman is heard screaming before being shown on the floor, her Quirk a blue shield around her. A man rushes out of a store.
"Huh, what's going on?" Aoyama questioned.
Thief!
A sludge monster is seen running down the street. Ominous music begins to play.
"What is that?" Sato asked.
"That must be the villains quirk." Shoji responded.
Bakugo glared at the villain on screen, so it was this day then.
Someone!
The camera zooms in on the monster's face.
Catch me if you can!
People on the other side of the street watch.
Huh? There's no hero around.
The camera then cuts to show a weak and skinny looking man walking out of a store.
"Who's that?" Hagakure asked.
All Might was sweating profusely, this was it.
Normally someone would come right away. This guy's taking advantage of the chaos from this morning.
The sludge monster is shown running again.
There are tons of people around who don't know what to do with their own Quirks.
"How true that is." Gran Torino muttered to himself.
Suddenly the man who was once small and weak looking began to grow. Until he was a buff man. He spoke. The people in front of him look shocked.
This is an end.
"What?!" Kaminari yelled out.
Wait that was All Might's voice! Todoroki thought. He looked around at his classmates, they seemed to reach the same conclusion. The only one that didn't seem surprised by this was Midoriya, who was sweating as he watched the show, he looked really nervous. No one said anything about it.
The man began walking toward the enemy.
Why?
The sludge monster seems happy until he looks back, his eyes widen with fear. Part of the man's face can be seen, he is smiling.
Because I am here!
That's clearly All Might! Why was he so tiny? Thankfully for All Might no one voiced their thoughts just yet.
The music stops. A blue intermission card pops up reading "My Hero Academia" then the screen goes black for a second before the card pops up again, though this time it's red.
"We even have an intermission card for if there was to be a commercial break! This really is exactly like a TV show!" Sero exclaimed.
A clock on a wall is seen showing that school has just ended and the sound of students in the hallways is heard. Students are talking on their way out of class.
Hey, let's go to karaoke!
Sure, nothing better to do.
Soon Midoriya is left by himself in the classroom. He is looking at his phone flipping through feed on the fight earlier that day.
"Do you not have any friends to go hang out with?" Yaoyorozu asked. Midoriya nervously shook his head.
"K-Kacchan scarred them all away…" No one seemed happy by that response.
"I knew you guys had a history together and that Bakugo hates you, but I didn't realize it was this bad Midoriya." Iida told him quietly. Midoriya said nothing in response.
The incident this morning is all over the headlines!
Midoriya puts is phone away and begins to pack up.
I wanna hurry up and go home so I can write in down in my notebook.
"Oh, it's one of your notebooks from the intro!" Mineta said. Midoriya nodded sheepishly.
Bakugo suddenly came out of nowhere and ripped Midoriya's notebook out of his hand.
We're not done talking yet, Deku.
"What are you doing now Bakugo?!" Ashido asked.
"It's none of your business!" He replied quickly.
Bakugo's two henchmen walk up behind him.
Katsuki, what's that?
A close up of Midoriya's notebook is shown. The cover reads "Hero Analysis for the Future No.13"
Huh? "Hero Analysis for the Future"?
Bakugo's friends begin to laugh. While Midoriya still looks worried that Bakugo has his notebook.
Seriously?
Midoriya…
Midoriya stands up quickly.
I-It's fine, isn't it? Give it back!
Midoriya slams his fists together and explodes the book, Midoriya cries out.
All Might sighed. I knew Bakugo bullied him, but I didn't realize to what extent.
"What the heck Bakugo!"
"Not cool man!" The others yelled out in outrage.
That's mean…
Bakugo then throws the book out the window. Midoriya's shocked.
What?!
Bakugo looks smug.
He's such a bully, how could he want to be a hero? The others thought.
Most top first-string heroes have stories about them from their school days.
Midoriya is shaking.
I want the shine of being able to be called the only student to make it into U.A. from this mediocre city junior high school. I mean, I'm a perfectionist.
One of his friends looks behind him and sweat drops.
He's so petty.
"Bastard." Bakugo mutters.
Bakugo puts his hand on Midoriya's shoulder and he tenses, Bakugo's hand is steaming.
So anyway,
Bakugo smiles.
Don't apply to U.A., nerd.
"Stop threatening him!" Uraraka yelled outraged.
Bakugo growled.
Midoriya tries but can't speak. The clip the changes to show Midoriya's back as he shakes. Bakugo and his friends begin to leave.
Come on, you could at least say something back.
Don't say that. He's pathetic. He still can't face reality.
Bakugo stops.
If you wanna be a hero that badly, there's a quick way to do it. Believe that you'll be born with a Quirk in your next life and take a last chance dive off the roof!
Shocked gasps were heard. Did he really just tell Midoriya to kill himself?!
"To far!"
"What the hell Bakugo?!"
"I cannot believe you just said that!"
On the teacher's side of the room, they were having a hard time excepting what he had just said themselves.
"I was aware Bakugo used to bully young Midoriya, but this is going way to far!" All Might exclaimed.
"This is not heroic behavior at all, the fact that he was able to be accepted into U.A. is very concerning." Gran Torino said.
"I agree, it seems we have a flaw in the acceptance program, if someone as unheroic as that can get through. Being a hero is not just about power, it is also about how you act towards others." Snipe said.
"Maybe we should start doing a personality screening along side the test and hero exam." Thirteen commented.
Nezu sipped some tea that he had gotten from the buffet table.
"I think you are right, and this is something that needs further discussion later on. As well as what to do with Bakugo, we may need to have a discussion with him when this is all over, behavior like that should never be permitted on school grounds." The teachers nodded in agreement.
I hope young Midoriya didn't take any of Bakugo's words to heart. All Might thought.
The camera zooms in on Midoriya tensing even more before he turns around and glares at Bakugo.
The others cheered him on.
"Ya! That's right, don't take any of Bakugo's crap!" Kaminari yelled.
"Don't let him intimidate you Midoriya." Iida said, "he's just a bully."
Midoriya smiled blushing red.
"Thanks guys…"
Bakugo glares back and makes tiny explosions in his hand.
What?
At that point Midoriya lost all the nerve he had and was back to a shaking and quivering mess.
Midnight sighed.
"As much as I despise what he's doing, I have to admit that he gets an A+ when it comes to intimidation." The other teachers nodded in agreement.
The scene shifts to show outside, Midoriya is walking along his way down the path while he looks for his notebook.
Idiot! If I really jumped, that would mean you instigated a suicide! Think before you speak!
The others seemed to relax at that, if only a little, at least he wasn't even considering suicide.
Midoriya spots his notebook and the angle shifts to show its in a tank and has fish nibbling on it. Midoriya speaks with emptiness in his voice.
That's not fish food, stupid.
Midoriya stares at it for a second before slowly picking it up out of the water.
That's my notebook… Stupid…
Midoriya fights back tears as he looks at his notebook.
Stupid bastard…
The others couldn't help but feel bad as they watched Midoriya struggle not to cry. The all decided to disregard the fact that the class cinnamon roll had just swore.
The image blurs as the image transforms into memories.
Here we go. Midoriya thought. Embra told me to be prepared, but I'm not prepared at all.
A young Midoriya calls out.
Mom!
Young Midoriya runs into the room with an All Might action figure in his hand.
SO CUTE! They all thought.
He quickly runs up to his Mom who is doing dishes.
Mom, the computer!
He is really excited jumping up and down. His mom looks down at him.
Again?
She turns off the water and the image shifts to Midoriya's room which is covered in All Might posters.
"So you've been a fanboy since the beginning huh?" Kaminari asked. Midoriya blushed and just nodded his head.
Hurry!
Midoriya rocks back and forth in the chair getting faster and faster as he waits for his mother to put on the video.
"Oh my goodness child, you are to cute!" Midnight squealed. The others couldn't help but agree.
"So adorable." Asui said. Midoriya was as red as a tomato.
Jeez, you've probably added ten thousand views just by yourself, Izuku. It's too scary for me. I can't watch it.
When the video pulls up Midoriya leans in to the T.V. really close looking really excited.
"What video are you so excited to watch?" Shoji asked.
The voice of older Midoriya begins speaking as the video was zoomed in on.
That was an old video. A disaster that happened a long time ago.
In the video the city looked to be up in flames, screams could be heard everywhere.
The video of a hero that debuted right after that.
"Oh I remember this video!" Hagakure said.
The man in the video behind the camera was talking.
Can you see that? He's already saved a hundred people. That's crazy! It hasn't even been ten minutes!
All Might's theme begins playing. A figure was seen climbing up on top of a broken-down bus, he was carrying tons of people. Midoriya was staring at the screen very intensely.
"You're so excited!" Ashido said.
Laughing can be heard as the man climbs the bus.
He's laughing!
Midoriya stares at the screen in awe, his eyes widening even more than before, a large smile on his face.
Midoriya smiled a bit besides his embarrassment, remembering how much he loved, and still does love that old video.
The man in the video stopped when he reached the top of the bus.
It's fine now. Why?
Midoriya squeals in excitement and his eyes glisten.
The man in the video smiles
Because I am here.
Midoriya gasps and seems to be blown away.
"I remember loving that video to but even I didn't love it as much as you did Midoriya." Ojiro said.
He smiles widely. He pumps up his fist with his All Might toy.
He's so cool!
The angle shifts to show Midoriya's action figure.
Once I get my Quirk, I wanna be like him, too!
I knew he admires me a lot more then the average person, but I didn't realize to what extent. All Might thought.
The camera zooms out, Midoriya is shaking the chair laughing like All Might, his mom is smiling at him before she frowns.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Asui asked. Midoriya frowned, here they go.
The scene shifts abruptly to show a doctor sitting in a chair. The music stops.
You should probably give it up.
Midoriya is frozen in shock, he drops his All Might action figure.
"What?" Uraraka asked confused.
"I don't understand." Iida said.
On the teacher's side nothing was going any better.
"This makes no sense. I know Bakugo kept calling him Quirkless but I couldn't believe it, Midoriya has such a strong quirk!" Hizashi said. Aizawa nodded.
"I may have thought he had no potential at first, but I know I was wrong, he has improved a lot so far, it makes no since for him to be told to give up."
Recovery Girl and All Might the only two to know what was going on, said nothing.
His mother sits next to him.
That's… Is something wrong with him after all? Most of the other kindergarteners' Quirks have already manifested… He's the only one…
The doctor speaks again.
Excuse me, but you're fourth generation, right ma'am? May I ask about your Quirk?
She puts a hand to her face and with the other uses her power to draw Midoriya's All Might action figure to her.
Yes, of course. I can pull small objects to me. My husband can breathe fire.
"Neither of those are anything like Midoriya's quirk." Tokoyami said.
The angle shifts to show the doctor.
Normally, by the age four, he would have manifested one of those Quirks, or some combination of the two.
The image then zooms in close on an x-ray of Midoriya's foot.
In the past, when the superpowers first started showing up, the results of an early research study were published. It became common practice to see if the pinky toe was missing a joint or not. When parts of the body aren't used, they're deemed unnecessary. People who didn't have the joint were thought to be a newly evolved form.
The doctor taps the x-ray where the pinky toe is.
You can see by looking at this x-ray that Izuku has two joints.
Midoriya is still in shock if not then even more so.
It's unusual to see that these days, but that means he has no Quirk.
"No, no that doesn't make any sense, then how…" Yaoyorozu was interrupted by Midoriya. His voice was weak and sad.
"I know right now nothing makes since, but trust me, everything will come together soon." With that said the others kept their thoughts to themselves.
Sad music begins to play. The scene shifts to show a few rows of apartment buildings, it was raining. Inside Midoriya's room the lights are off and the video from before can be heard playing again.
Everyone began to tear up, it was hard not to with what was happening.
"Crap… I'm crying…" Kaminari said, wiping tears from his eyes.
"I blame the music, it's to damn sad." Kirishima said, also wiping away tears.
Midoriya's mother has not yet left the room and is just staring at the door. She looks back as she here All Might's laughter but Midoriya's not accompanying it. A broken and shattered voice of a 4-year-old is heard.
Mom…
His voice was heart shattering. How could this happen!
The camera zooms in on All Might's smile in the video.
He saves everyone with a smile, no matter what trouble they're in…
His mom turns to face him.
He's such a cool hero…
Midoriya turns his chair to face his Mom and she begins to cry. The angle then shifts to see Midoriya pointing at the computer with tears about to flow, but still he is smiling.
Can I… be a hero, too?
That did it, anyone who wasn't already crying broke right then and there. Midoriya who had been struggling to hold it in since the scene at the doctor's office broke, tears streaming down his face as he remembered the feeling of hopelessness.
The teachers were also having a hard time with the scene, though only a few had tears in their eyes, they all felt the sorrow.
"He's wanted nothing more then to be a hero and save people since he was a little kid." Midnight said.
This kid… Aizawa thought.
I chose the right kid. All Might thought fighting the tears in his eyes.
His mom slowly begins to walk over before running and hugging Midoriya, tears begin to stream down his face.
I'm Sorry Izuku! I'm sorry. I'm sorry!
Older Midoriya began to speak again.
No, that's not it. That's not it, Mom. What I wanted you to say back then was…
The sad music stops. The scene shifted back to older Midoriya as he walked through a tunnel.
With the scene change everyone quickly tried to wipe away all their tears.
He looked down.
You decided back then, didn't you?
Midoriya got a determined look back on his face.
That's right. Don't worry about what other people think!
Midoriya put his head up and balled up his fist.
Hold your head up high and plunge forward!
Midoriya began walking down the tunnel again shaking his fist in the air and laughing like All Might.
Everyone cheered him on.
"It doesn't matter what anyone says!" Kirishima yelled.
"We all know you can be a hero Midoriya!" Asui said.
Suddenly behind him sludge begins to rise and form together.
Everyone's eyes, even the teachers widened in worry.
Midoriya freezes and turns around. His eyes go wide with fear and he begins to shake.
The sludge monster from earlier rises and towers over Midoriya, he gasps.
A villain?!
He shakes in fear at the monster before him. Villainous music begins to play. The monster speaks.
A medium-sized invisibility cloak…
"Run Midoriya!" Everyone was yelling at the screen.
The monster suddenly charges forward and Midoriya yells and begins to run, but he is not quick enough and is easily captured by the monster. Midoriya drops his notebook.
"NO!" Everyone was very concerned about him.
The monster begins to stuff himself inside Midoriya through his mouth.
The others were revolted and terrified for their friend. Bakugo's eyes were wide in shock.
I didn't know that he was attacked by the monster as well!
Don't worry. I'm just going to take over your body. Calm down. It'll only hurt for about 45 seconds. You'll feel better soon.
Midoriya struggles against the monster, but to no avail.
I can't… breathe…
Tears well up in Midoriya's eyes
You can't grab me. I'm fluid! Thanks for your help. You're my hero.
"Oh that's gotta hurt."
"I can not believe he just called you his hero!"
"Midoriya! You gotta get out of there!"
Midoriya continues to kick, but it does nothing.
I didn't think that had come to this city.
Midoriya's movements were getting weaker and weaker.
There's no strength… I'm dying… Am I dying? I'm dying…
"Midoriya!" Everyone was in panic, they knew he had survived, of course he had, he was there sitting with them, but that didn't mean they weren't going to panic with him dying.
The teachers were also all very concerned for their student, how had he gotten out of this?
Through blurry vision he can see his open notebook on the floor.
Somebody… Somebody…!
Tears begin to stream down Midoriya's face.
No…!
"Midoriya!" Everyone seemed to yell at once.
The Music suddenly stops and All Might's theme replaces it. There is a sudden blue light and a pothole lid gets thrown up in the air. The sludge monster turns and his eye's widen in shock.
"Is someone here to save you!"
"Yes, save him please!"
"Wait, isn't that All Might's theme from earlier?!"
The man from before is there.
It's all right now, young man.
The man stomps his foot down and stands up tall the man is revealed to be All Might.
I am here!
The room erupted into cheers at once.
"Thank you!"
"I've never been gladder to see you!"
"All Might will save him!"
The lid falls to the floor and the sludge monster quickly tries to attack but All Might easily dodges, he then punches the monster.
Texas Smash!
The monster is blown back by the sheer amount of wind power coming from the one punch.
"YES!" Everyone was cheering and celebrating.
Wind pressure…?!
Midoriya is freed and slowly opens his eyes to see a blurry image of All Might.
All… Migh…
The music stops as Midoriya blacks out.
The worry was back quite quickly.
"Midoriya!"
"Oh no, please be okay!"
The scene shifts to All Might repeatedly lightly smacking Midoriya in the face to wake him up.
Hey! Hey!
Everyone sweat dropped.
"That's not exactly how you're supposed to go about waking someone who passed out All Might." Thirteen said. All Might blushed.
"Ah well… I was in a hurry."
Midoriya begins to stir.
Everyone let out a collective sigh of relief.
He—Oh, good!
The angle then shifts to show from Midoriya's prospective of All Might leaning over him. His eyes go wide and his jaw drops he gasps. He then quickly backs away screaming.
Everyone was laughing at his reaction.
"Back into fanboy mode I see." Sero said jokingly. Midoriya was blushed and looked down, knowing it got even worse.
All Might stood up.
I'm glad you're okay! Sorry 'bout getting you caught up in my villain fighting. I don't usually make mistakes like this, but I was in high spirits on my day off in a new place.
All Might put his hand to his head and began laughing.
Midoriya stared in shock smiling and blushing dopily.
But, you were a big help. Thanks!
All Might lifts two bottles displaying them, inside them was the villain.
I captured him safely!
"You put the villain in a bottle?" Yaoyorozu asked.
All Might smiled.
"As a hero you must use your resources, in this case, this was the best way to transport the villain to the police station."
Midoriya was still reeling in shock.
The number one hero… All Might… H-He's the real thing… He looks completely different in person!
Everyone was laughing and Midoriya just put his head in his hands, it just kept getting worse and worse!
The camera zooms in on All Might's face and his shinning white smile. Midoriya suddenly perks up.
Oh, right! An a-autograph! Where should I-?
He spots his notebook on the ground.
In that notebook—
He quickly picks it up and notices that he already signed it.
He already did!
Midoriya screams and begins bowing over and over again.
Th-Thank you very much! It'll be an heirloom! A family treasure!
Some were crying with laughter at this point.
"Oh My God, an heirloom Midoriya?" Uraraka asked. Midoriya just groaned not answering.
All Might gives him a thumbs up.
Okay!
"I love this, All Might seems to not know how to respond to it!" Sero said between bouts of laughter.
The camera zooms in on his pockets which he put the bottles into.
Well, I need to take this guy to the police. See you again on the other side of the screen!
All Might begins stretching preparing to jump. Midoriya stares.
Wait, already?
I was naive to think he would stay around to talk to me, so I guess I am glad I did what I did, or I never would have gotten this power, but… Now they get to watch this!
Pros are constantly fighting enemies and time.
Midoriya reaches out.
Wait… There are still… things I want to ask…
Well then,
All Might jumps into the air and yells.
I'm counting on your continued support! Wait.
The camera zooms out to show Midoriya holding on to All Might's leg as he goes through the air. The skin around his eyes and ears being pulled back due to the wind pressure.
The laughter was back full force.
"I can't believe you did that Midoriya!" Kaminari said.
"Well I can, he is a really big fanboy after all!" Kirishima said.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
All Might tries to push him off his leg.
Let go of me! Your fanaticism is too much!
If I… Let go now… I'll… I'll die…!
All Might suddenly stops trying to push him off.
That's true.
I… have… a lot of things… I want to ask you directly!
Okay, okay! I get it, so close your eyes and mouth!
Midoriya whimpers and does just that putting his face against All Might's leg.
The laughter was finally starting to die down. Midoriya's face beet red.
All Might puts his hand on Midoriya's back so he won't fall and looks for a place to land. As he does so he coughs. The camera zooms in on his faces, his mouth is dripping blood, All Might quickly wipes it away.
Shit.
The shocked silence that followed was unnerving.
"Blood?" Ashido asked quietly.
All Might sighed, he knew he wouldn't be able to hid it for very long with this show.
"Just keep watching the show and your questions shall be answered." Embra said.
The Camera shows many different buildings and then another one that shakes when All Might lands on it.
Midoriya looks like death, his lips are dry, and his eyes are empty, he is shaking. He whimpers.
Th-That was scary…
This got a few chuckles, though it was hard to laugh after the last scene.
All Might over looks the city with his hands on his hips.
Good grief. If you talk to the people downstairs, I'm sure they'll let you down.
He begins to walk away.
I seriously am outta time, so I really must go.
Midoriya looks up quickly.
Wait! Um…
All Might puts his hand up.
No! I will not wait!
But…
Midoriya stretches his hand out, and has a sudden flashback to the doctor. Sad music begins to play again.
"Oh no not the damned music again!" Kirishima said.
You should probably give it up.
The camera zooms in on his out stretched hand.
I'm sorry, Izuku! I'm sorry. I'm sorry!
Slowly Midoriya pulls his hand back to him.
What the hell can you do? You're Quirkless!
Midoriya stands still his arms at his sides.
"Don't let what others say affect you." Asui said from behind him. Midoriya smiled slightly and nodded his head.
That might be true… But even so, I…
Midoriya begins shaking. The camera zooms out to show All Might walking away.
Even if I don't have a Quirk, can I become a hero?
The music intensifies. All Might stops walking. Midoriya is shaking in his shoes.
Can even someone without a Quirk be like you?
Midoriya shakes as he yells out his question then shuts his eyes and mouth bracing for an answer. All Might turns back to look at him, and Midoriya is shaking. The camera zooms out.
The tears were back.
My meeting with All Might… This miracle… At the time, I couldn't even imagine how much it would change my fate.
The camera zooms out to an overview of the city.
"Foreshadowing?" Sato asked.
"What happened, how did you go from Quirkless to having such a powerful quirk? I need to know!" Ashido cried out.
Music begins to play.
"There's an ending to?" Aoyama questioned.
The screen shifts to show an open page of Midoriya note book it slowly begins to zoom out.
Between my mediocre self and the word that surrounds me
I form an image and grab on, but it's still so far away
Different images and angles of All Might are shown, before it cuts to Midoriya running at night on a beach. The sky if full of stares but one shines much brighter than the rest.
"I like this song already!" Jiro said, Koda nodded his head in agreement very enthusiastically.
I awoke from a dream where however often I got close, I slipped farther away
A city brimming with glimpse of dawn is speaking in whispers
A small hand flies by holding an All Might toy before shifting to an image of young Midoriya running playing with his All Might toy.
Trembling, I'm searching the darkness for the meaning of life
The Image then shifts to show Midoriya standing with his hands on his hips like All Might often does a bright smile on his face.
The photo shifts one more to Midoriya posing like he is punching a bad guy.
"These images are so cute!" Asui said
The scene cuts back to Midoriya running on the beach, as he runs the sky seems to get brighter and while other stars begin to fade the brightest can still be seen.
Between my mediocre self and the world that surrounds me
I form an image and grab on, but it's still so far away
What must I discard in order to finally arrive there?
Midoriya trips, but quickly gets back up and keeps running.
"I like the symbolism, he keeps running towards the brightest star as the sky shifts from night to day." Iida said.
The others agreed.
"It's very symbolic."
Again and again, I try crying out
But all I end up being is myself
Whether in dreams or in reality
Tears fall from Midoriya's face as he runs, but he wipes them away and keeps going. The sun is shinning and there is only one bright star left in the sky.
I know I can get past this.
The scene shifts to a black and white image of young Midoriya crying.
It doesn't matter if I stumble
"Ahh don't cry Midoriya!" Ashido said.
The image shifts to another image of Midoriya crying but at a different angle.
It doesn't matter if I cry
"You'll get there eventually Midoriya!" Hagakure said.
The image shifts for the last time to Midoriya's foot prints in the sand, and lifts to show the path he was running on next to the ocean.
Because someday, everything
Will come up roses
The song ends and the screen goes black.
"The song was so pretty!" Uraraka said smiling.
"Was that the end of the first episode?" Todoroki asked.
"That is correct. After a short break we will begin episode two, I'm sure you have many questions you would like an answer to." Embra said. The others nodded and got up to stretch. Some went to the bathroom, a small line forming, while others went to go get some food from the table, all the while discussing what they had seen in the first episode.
Already they were learning a lot about their classmate, they couldn't wait for what was in store next, after all they needed to know how he got his quirk, and what was going on with All Might.
