Want to go later?
You bet!
Why... just me?
Expand the Hero Billboard Chart?
Yes.
Well, it's part of a plan for the future.
But only once reconstruction is far enough along.
So many helped out during this last conflict. Not just us heroes.
We'll include everyday heroes too, alongside the registered pros.
I thought we were likely getting rid of the popularity system.
Iff we only focus on the negatives, that would make sense.
But I'd like to update it, while retaining the positives.
There's a limit to how much any "greatest" hero can handle.
If we want to be able to save more people,
it's going to require more than what us pro heroes can deliver.
So, a world where there are lots of great heroes.
What's going on with this Quirk?
If the association finds out about this, it'll damage our family's standing!
Get rid of him, and leave no trace!
But he hasn't done anything wro—
If you can't do the deed, then pretend he's dead,
and hide him where nobody will ever see!
Keep him concealed!
Keep his mouth shut!
No one out there must hear even a single sigh!
What was so bad about me?
Why'd they stitch my mouth shut?
I've been scared and sad for so long!
So, how can these people be smiling?
Why...
is it just me who's so...
Hello.
Hello. Are you all right?
I-I'm sure a hero or a police officer will be here soon.
I wonder if that boy got a hero to help after that.
It still keeps me awake at night, sometimes.
What Izuku Midoriya brought about that day?
I'm sure, that day,
it got through to us all.
Everything's going to be all right.
Because Granny is here for you.
I'm sure we'll find it on the other side.
A society where heroes aren't so busy.
That's mean, Kacchan.
Can't you see he's crying?
If you keep going, I-I-I'll never forgive you!
Even though you're Quirkless,
you're pretending to be a hero, Deku?
People are not inherently equal.
Each of us is different somehow, which is why we care about others.
Staff Room
Our bodies and minds take on different shapes,
People are not inherently equal.
and so we seek each other out and search for common ground.
Mr. Midoriya—
Mr. Deku.
Where should we gather for this afternoon's practical exercise?
In front of the bus stop.
We'll also show you the way to USJ.
Okay, I'll let everyone know!
That's what I learned about the world at age 17.
I heard them clearly that day.
Those voices of encouragement and entreaty still keep me going to this day.
If caring a lot about someone is a step towards being a hero,
then everyone was the greatest hero that day.
We are strongly linked to those who share our feelings,
and to those who feel differently,
we do what we can to move closer.
We live through today, knowing it will never come again.
We live on with everyone else, heading ever toward the future.
Shirakumo
Hey guys!
Study hard if you don't wanna get left behind by international competition!
Yeah!
Next month is the full hero licensing exam!
Let's all pass it on the first try!
Yeah!
You can do it, Kacchan!
Show us what you're made of, Bakugo!
That's the way!
Go!
Would you guys shut up!
The League of Villains By Spinner
Popular New Release
Hey, this book.
I heard a guy who was in the League of Villains wrote it.
Oh yeah?
Maybe I'll give it a read sometime.
Oh, it's snowing.
Just three months left until graduation.
You still have the same plans for afterwards, Uraraka?
Yep. You too, Deku?
Yeah. They haven't changed.
Moving right along to the conferment of diplomas.
C'mon now!
Get yours!
Yeah!
Congrats!
This world wouldn't be the same without you.
Thank you, sir.
But this is a world we created together.
That's true.
How right you are!
Yeah!
And now, representing the graduates!
It's Ingenium, AKA Tenya Iida!
Graduation Ceremony
It's my belief that even when the world was engulfed by great evil,
what allowed us to overcome it, and enjoy this wonderful graduation ceremony today,
was the way we took one another by the hand,
expressed concern and encouragement toward one another,
and managed to move ahead without losing hope.
Even once we leave this school,
we intend to bear in mind what it means to be a hero as we live our lives.
This was Tenya Iida, representing the graduating class.
The world's waitin' for us!
I'm pulling the strings!
My hero All Might transferred One for All to me,
and I got to become a hero.
It was an undeserved dream come true.
My story began when I leapt before I looked.
Now it comes to an end, along with the last ember of One For All.
Then why, you ask, am I still writing this?
Because... there's still runtime in the episode.
Eight years later
Okay, did they get passed all the way to the back?
Career-Goal Surveys
It's time for you to start thinking about entrance exams.
Turn in those career-goal surveys by next week!
I want the hero course!
At the top school, U.A., of course.
You know what's hot right now? Support items.
I'm gonna join up at Lightly Labs or nowhere.
The support item design firm where that mega genius Mei Hatsume works!
Yet another new baby's about to burst onto the scene!
Go and take a bath first!
I can smell you from here!
I'm going to become a doctor.
One like Dr. Ryu Yoshida, who can help even those who're beyond help.
Bet on it.
I want to work at GeL Inc.,
which made history with Cyber War five years ago.
I'd love to code for a living!
Whatcha writing?
You wanna be a hero too?
Career-Goal Survey
Top High School Choices First Choice: U.A. High School
Don't look!
Won't that be kind of hard with your Quirk, Dai?
Well, how should I know?
I mean, the villain emergence rate is on the decline,
so they're cutting back on the number of heroes.
These days, only the truly strong are gonna get to be heroes.
Okay, I'll collect any that are done.
Now Recruiting
Spring Water
Tasty Spicy Beef Bowls
They've all changed so much.
When we were little, we all used to say we wanted to be like
All Might, Endeavor, Best Jeanist, Deku, Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight, and Shoto.
I get it. I'm the only one who's still the same.
That's why...
Dai, you think you can do your best in first grade?
Yeah!
when I feel anxious, I always come here.
Since his debut, we've seen outstanding work from Tentacole.
He's worked hard to find peaceful outcomes to incidents stemming from body-type discrimination,
which is still prevalent in rural areas.
In praise of his achievements and their effects,
he's been awarded the Imamura Peace Prize.
Could you say a few words about receiving this honor?
I dedicate this honor to those who rose up eight years ago.
I'm merely standing atop the resolve they displayed.
Next, in team-up news.
Ingenium, Froppy, Creaty, and Uravity are touring elementary schools nationwide.
With the decrease in villain emergence rates,
heroes are taking on a wider variety of activities.
In particular, Uravity's plan to broaden the scope of Quirk counseling
is said to be the service that society currently needs the most.
There are many heroes who agree with her and accepted her team-up requests, and—
Hey, Midoriya.
Did you see this?
This's gonna drop your old buddy's rank on the chart again.
What're you doin' so close to me?
This ain't some show!
You wanna die?
I-I'm sorry!
If you get it, then get lost!
Kacchan...
You were trying to get him to watch his mouth, weren't you?
It didn't work at all.
Todoroki's going to have a big lead on him now.
He's out there dealing with incidents day and night.
He's awkward, but he treats all his fans well.
And I hear fewer people mention that he's Endeavor's son these days, too.
Todoroki's really doing an amazing job out there!
At this rate, he'll overtake Kamui Woods and Mt. Lady,
and even rival Togata for the top spot!
Monoma and Honenuki are amazing too.
The other day, Togata was laughing and saying, "The pressure from below is intense!"
Do you miss it?
Well, back in the day, when Fuwa was talking with you,
a thought occurred to me.
"I'm going back to being Quirkless,
but if I can use my experience to encourage others...
that might be pretty darn cool."
I wonder if I'm cool now.
You should be a little more strict with your students.
It's important.
Anyone who can get into this school these days
is practically guaranteed to become a future hero.
We have to be strict, so they don't turn out arrogant.
You follow?
Really? But you were pretty nice to us.
Black Wings for You
A Shocking Level of Transparency
Ever since we started working,
the members of Class A haven't had much time off that overlaps.
It hasn't been easy to find opportunities to gather.
He's overwhelmingly popular with male fans.
Join us to learn the surprising origin story of Red Riot, a man's man!
It's Red!
Cool!
Unbreakable!
I really enjoy watching everyone's exploits.
I often come here when I think back on my school days.
Wait up!
You okay, Chii?
That was close.
Thank you!
I almost got hurt!
I'm glad you didn't, Chii.
Are you okay?
Deku?
Midoriya? Izuku?
It's really you!
Seriously?
So, you're getting ready for high school?
The times are changing so drastically.
It's hard to keep up with my classmates anymore
when my Quirk is so much weaker than theirs.
That's why I come here and ask the All Might statue.
"Can I be a hero like you guys, too?"
The way I wanted to be like All Might.
mutter mutter mutter
A Quirk where you can throw those saucer-like things in your hair?
If it's hair-based, I think you could use it the way Mineta does his.
And you said combining them makes them stronger, and changes their size?
And so... (mutter mutter mutter).
This is scary!
But what, is it encouragement?
Once a dream comes true, it's time to offer dreams to others.
Don't worry.
After all, you tried to lend a helping hand back there.
You can be a hero.
You can do it, young man!
I'd be lying if I said I don't miss it,
but if I can encourage others this way...
This is the story of how we became the greatest heroes.
The End
You're late, young man!
All Might?
I would've met you at the airport if you'd said something!
I wanted to give you a surprise present.
Is it a wall scroll?
The data collected during my fight with All For One eight years ago
has apparently opened up some incredible possibilities!
Jut as Quirks develop and deepen, so does technology.
As someone who's wielded multiple Quirks, I'd like you to gather even more data.
But this must be so expensive.
My overseas friend and young Hatsume helped develop it,
and it's a joint investment by the former members of Class A—especially young Bakugo.
I know the truth.
You still jump right into the fray, don't you?
Take this to heart.
This too is power that you earned because of your own effort!
All of us, for all time.
Maybe things aren't so busy anymore?
Landslide on Warstar Road. Traffic's at a standstill.
I request a hero dispatch!
C'mon, Deku.
This is the story of all of us.
A story of us lending a helping hand, for all time!

Shoto Todoroki
He ranked 8th on the chart right after going independent.
The Five Wees Festival has become an annual event at Masegaki Elementary School.
Katsuki Bakugo
