Previously on My Hero Academia:

Near Tatooin Station, Katsuki's friends comment that he may have gone too far bullying Izuku this time, to which he replies is Deku's fault, and he needs to learn how the world works. While they're talking, Katsuki is attacked by the same Sludge villain that had attacked Izuku.

Meanwhile, All Might and Izuku are talking on top of a building. Izuku asks the number one hero if someone who doesn't have a Quirk could also be a hero like him. As Izuku explains his ambitions, All Might reaches his limit and goes back to his normal form. Izuku is shocked to see his true form, and All Might explains his transformation by showing the boy a wound he'd gotten five years prior, and gives the boy a lecture on the responsibilities of a pro hero: a pro must always be ready to risk his or her life, and so he cannot tell Izuku he can do it even while being Quirkless. As he takes the stairs down the rooftop, he notices that the villain he had captured is missing, and that there are explosions in another area of the city.

At the scene of the explosions, Death Arms and other heroes are trying to fight the Sludge villain attempting to take Katsuki's body, but to no avail. All Might watches, scolding himself for wasting time and now being unable to fight. Izuku thinks about All Might's words while walking down the street, and approaches the crowd watching the explosions. He notices it's the villain All Might saved him from, and realizes it must be his fault the hero is now unable to save the new victim, mentally apologizing.

However, after realizing the villain has Katsuki hostage, Izuku rushes to his rescue while the other heroes attempt to stop him. Izuku remembers his notes and strikes the sludge villain with his bag, giving him an opening to get close to Katsuki. As Izuku desperately tries to help, Katsuki asks why he's there, and Izuku answers that it is because Katsuki's eyes were pleading for help, and he couldn't bear to watch him die.

The Sludge Villain recovers and attempts to attack Midoriya, but All Might protects him. All Might admits he scolded the boy for something he hadn't done himself: risk his life in order to save other people, as a pro hero. Inspired by Izuku's bravery, All Might uses his great strength to destroy the Sludge villain with a Detroit Smash while freeing Katsuki at the same time.

Afterwards, the heroes scold Izuku for risking his life and praise Katsuki for fighting back. Later that day, Katsuki confronts Izuku and tells him that he never asked to be saved and that Izuku shouldn't look down on him. Then, All Might meets up Izuku again, and says that the boy was the one who made the difference in the previous situation, despite being Quirkless, and that he did the same thing other top heroes had done before: moving before he could even think in order to save another person. At last, All Might tells a crying Izuku that he can become a hero.

Tonight: All Might tells Izuku that he can become a hero, but does he really have what it takes to become one?

MHA Jukebox: Tonight we're getting down with the Disney classics with Go the Distance as sung by Michael Bolton (I debated between this version and the one sung by Hercules, but, eh, listen to 'em both. They're both great.)


Like a shooting star, I will go the distance

Last time: Turns out the only requirement to be a hero isn't so much a quirk as having legs that instinctively run toward danger. Good to know.

Previously on MHA: You recklessly threw yourself into harms way while having no idea how to save the person who was in trouble?! You're hero material after all!

Don't you wish people like that were real?

So quirks can be passed on? You think he'd have like to learn that sooner in life.

He talks about awesome power while bleeding from the mouth.

"He broke into the hero scene and, from this ridiculous amount of merchandise on-screen, became a freakin' corporate sell-out. Come on, All Might gum?"

One hundred pushups! One hundred situps! Run 100km a day!

Word of warning, you might go bald.

Does his archrival have a quirk named "All For One"?

"I'm not gonna force this thing on you."

I feel like I've heard that dialogue before...on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.

All Quirk transfers are final. So substitutions, exchanges, or refunds.

One for all. Someone's a Dumas fan.

One for All. Is it safe to expect All for Love from The Three Musketeers to play in the jukebox sometime?

Uh, maybe start Deku off a little smaller, All Might.

And they may as well squeeze in an environmentalism message.

Midoriya: "There's an extra 600 pounds with you on top."

All Might: "Nah, I lost weight! I'm more like 560 pounds these days."

So All Might is like Gold Roger in that we never see his eyes.

Wax on, wax off.
