Kirishima: “Man, this place is insane! Look at all those pro heroes out there! I can literally feel the energy!”

Midoriya adjusts his gloves, eyes darting toward the stands. “Endeavor, Hawks, Best Jeanist, Mirko… even Edgeshot and Gang Orca. This is huge. We’ll be fighting in front of the top five heroes in Japan!”
