As Gran Torino darted from wall to wall and bounced off the ceiling and floor, I had trouble connecting my hits...
I lost the fight, without really being able to do anything.
- Gran Torino
You’re a little stiff...
- Gran Torino
And there's discord within your mind. That's why I bested you.
- Gran Torino
Your admiration for All Might and sense of loyalty to him are shackles on you.
- Izuku Midoriya
"Shackles"? But how?
- Gran Torino
You think One For All is more special than it really is.
- Izuku Midoriya
My admiration for All Might...is a shackle?
- Izuku Midoriya
What does stiff even mean...? What makes a movement flexible?
- Izuku Midoriya
Ah! I know!
- Izuku Midoriya
How I think about it, One For All... Those big smashes are like my special moves.
- Izuku Midoriya
Now I see... Quirks are just extensions of our bodies.
- Izuku Midoriya
I even saw him use it up close. Why didn't I notice then?
- Izuku Midoriya
I need to start thinking of One For All as being part of me!
- Gran Torino
(His thinking is flexible. I knew that from the way he moved at the sports festival.)
- Gran Torino
(You found a good one, huh, Toshinori? Or should I say, All Might?)
- Izuku Midoriya
(I need to change the way that I think about One For All.)
- Izuku Midoriya
(Everybody else uses their powers like it's second nature.)
- Izuku Midoriya
(But me, I still have to actively think about it.)
- Izuku Midoriya
(If I could use even five percent of my power like it was nothing,)
- Izuku Midoriya
(I'd be able to move like Kacchan!)
- Izuku Midoriya
(If I can just master my Quirk, I'll be able to do so many things!)
- Izuku Midoriya
(But first, I need to be able to use it instantly.)
- Gran Torino
Good morning. What’s wrong? You look beat.
- Izuku Midoriya
I tried to take everything you said to me and put it into practice, but it was no good.
- Gran Torino
It's your first time trying, so it's to be expected.
- Gran Torino
I suppose All Might can't wrap his mind around that.
- Gran Torino
He could pretty much use One For All right off the bat.
- Gran Torino
How about we eat some of that frozen taiyaki I bought?
- Gran Torino
Come and get em' while they're steamin'!
- Gran Torino
It's still frozen!
- Gran Torino
What're you, an idiot?! You stuck a huge plate in there, didn't you?
- Gran Torino
If you do that, there's no room for it to turn, so only one part of it gets hot.
- Izuku Midoriya
Ah...! I've got it!
- Izuku Midoriya
The frozen pastry in my hand...is me!
- Izuku Midoriya
Up until now, I've just been summoning One For All.
- Izuku Midoriya
Only when I really need it, especially when I'm in a pinch. Like flipping on some kind of switch.
- Izuku Midoriya
But, if I do that, my reaction time gets slower and slower with every move!
- Izuku Midoriya
I just have to leave the power on the whole time!
- Izuku Midoriya
I shouldn't concentrate my power in just one part...
- Izuku Midoriya
I need to spread it evenly around my whole body!
- Gran Torino
(That didn't take long for you to figure out.)
- Izuku Midoriya
I've got to keep it steady at my five percent maximum!
- Gran Torino
Do you want to test it out?
- Izuku Midoriya
Yes, please!
