MHA: Super My Hero Record

All Might and Gogeta temporarily suspend their hero activities. The news spreads across Japan in an instant, sending shockwaves throughout the nation.

The two individuals who had come to symbolize peace and hope for Japan were already indispensable to the people, and everyone mourned the suspension of their activities with heavy hearts.

However, some who understood the immense influence of the two recognized the necessity of the temporary hiatus. Sensing the Hero Committee's intentions, they reluctantly accepted the decision.

With the absence of the No. 1 and No. 2 heroes, those ranked No. 3 and below resolved to prove that Japan's peace could be maintained even without them. They threw themselves into their hero activities with unprecedented dedication.

For various reasons, to support their livelihoods, for fame, or to reflect on their origins, other heroes actively contributed to maintaining peace and order, as well as disaster relief efforts.

Despite the absence of the top two heroes, Japan's crime rate remained lower than usual. However, it was still higher than during the period when the top two were active, once again highlighting their extraordinary prowess.

Even without Gogeta and All Might, Japan's peace and security could be maintained, albeit imperfectly. This fact, proven by the Japanese hero community, inevitably drew global attention.

Meanwhile, the No. 1 hero and "Super Hero" Gogeta himself...

"Hey, Gogeta! What have you done?! Who told you to blow away a hurricane?! Now I have to go to work tomorrow!"

"Just either insult me or be happy. My energy is through the roof."

Currently, he was active as a disaster-response hero in the United States. After dispatching a threatening hurricane approaching Florida with a single punch, Gogeta found himself overwhelmed by the surging crowd.

While utilizing the fan-handling techniques he had learned from his partner All Might, Gogeta recalled an incident from a few days earlier.

On that day, Principal Nezu of U.A. High School had made a proposal to both All Might and Gogeta.

The proposal was for Gogeta to travel around the world, broaden his horizons, and interact with heroes and people from across the globe. Principal Nezu's suggestion was meant to lay a solid foundation for Gogeta's future as a hero, and even Gogeta was left speechless by the thoughtfulness of it.

Goto Shintaro, on the other hand, had never left Japan—not even in his previous life. His English barely met U.S. high school standards, and when it came to conversation, he only thought he understood the general meaning.

To help such a Gogeta, Principal Nezu sent an app to his phone. When activated, the app played translated Japanese words through headphones connected to the phone, a surprisingly impressive tool.

It was apparently created by a scientist with a PhD who was acquainted with All Might. The translation accuracy was extremely high, and it even translated his own voice through the phone, so he had been wearing it constantly since arriving in the U.S. on his own.

With that in mind, Gogeta set off alone for the U.S., aiming to relax during his hiatus and find promising training grounds abroad.

Countries outside Japan were still struggling to curb crimes that exploited Quirks, caught in an endless cat-and-mouse game. To break this cycle, countries around the world requested Gogeta's cooperation, as he had made a significant contribution to destroying the massive meteorite. The Japanese Hero Committee agreed to this request, but with several conditions, including that "any incidents related to Gogeta that occur locally will be the responsibility of the local authorities."

Unaware of the complex underlying motives, Gogeta accepted the request with a casual attitude, thinking, "Well, that's not too bad... I'm bored anyway." Today, he would be active in the United States.

"But I'm glad everyone's safe. It's such a shame to ruin those beautiful houses with a hurricane."

"Gogeta..."

After dispersing a hurricane that made the air itself roar, Gogeta stood alone, letting the raindrops fall on him. Seeing a man crying with joy upon hearing his words, he stepped back slightly.

"Well, well, as expected of Japan's No. 1 hero. You've completely outdone us. No wonder the members of the Japanese Hero Committee are making such bitter faces."

"You're... from the American Hero Committee?"

"That's right. Gogeta, first, I'd like to express my respect for your efforts, but also some sarcasm. Thanks to your actions, several percent of our country's economy was saved. Though all the supplies we prepared for evacuations were rendered useless."

"That's definitely the real reason, right?"

"Just kidding."

The American Hero Committee representative, dressed in a sharp black suit, maintained a somber expression. Gogeta felt a sense of déjà vu, remembering how some people in Japan always looked sleepy. The man from the U.S. Hero Committee turned back to Gogeta, extended his right hand, and said,

"Once again, let me express my gratitude. Gogeta, thanks to you, our national treasure has been saved. Thank you."

Gogeta was taken aback for a moment by the man referring to his country's citizens as a treasure, but he smiled in amazement and shook the offered hand.

"Well, if anything happens, let me know and I'll come running. I'll take care of it as quickly as possible."

"Your bold and cheeky attitude is refreshing when you take it this far. But I'll have to decline for now. If you keep working so hard, it'll make the heroes of my country look bad."

This was already the third time. Thanks to his wide-ranging activities against villains and disasters, peace and security in America had improved significantly. Even in the land of freedom, America had a No. 1 hero, but her unique and rare abilities made it impossible for her to appear in public. It was precisely because they were well aware of this that America was indebted to Gogeta for coming to their aid.

"The rest is up to us. Gogeta, thank you so much. We will do our best to repay you for your efforts."

"Yeah, I'll be counting on you. See you later."

With that, Gogeta enveloped himself in white flames and flew away. In an instant, he soared into the sky, accelerating as he went, and in the next moment, he was gone, leaving behind only the sound of breaking the sound barrier as he departed from Florida.

The man watching Gogeta depart noticed his phone ringing and answered before the second ring.

"How is he?"

"No good. He's beyond our capabilities. That recklessness is just like All Might from back in the day."

"I see. That's a shame. If he had become this country's hero, our advantage over other nations would have been unmatched."

"You don't sound very sorry, Mr. President. You're actually quite cheerful. You never had any intention of stopping him, did you?"

Hearing the cheerful laughter from the other end of the line, the Hero Committee member could only shake his head in disbelief.

"National ties are nothing but a hindrance to heroes. Heroes are defined by their sense of justice and the impulses that arise from their hearts. In that sense, I've always made our No. 1 feel constrained."

"Maybe we should let him participate in a charity event next time? With someone like Gogeta around, his presence shouldn't be too much of an issue."

"He's really helped us in so many ways. Maybe I should do something to thank him?"

"How about treating him to a hamburger? He seemed interested in our country's hamburgers."

"Haha, then I'll have to order a special one."

The call ended with cheerful laughter. Whether he was serious about what he said remained unclear, but it seemed the President of the United States was planning to treat Gogeta to a special hamburger.

With a wry smile at the president's usual carefree nature, the executive looked up at the sky where Gogeta had flown off. His figure had already disappeared into the blue sky, and beyond it, a rainbow bridge was spanning the heavens.

"Heroes look good against the blue sky."

The current No. 1 hero of Japan was also No. 1 in terms of being a troublemaker. Still, one couldn't help but feel a sense of awe toward him. The executive saluted Gogeta, who had already resolved numerous incidents and accidents, as he charged toward the rainbow's end.

Well, that was understandable.

"I wish he had come through proper channels."

The executive felt disheartened when he thought about all the paperwork he'd have to deal with thanks to him.

◇

"Huh, so Gogeta is in America right now?"

"He just left America and is scheduled to arrive in Japan in a few minutes."

Above the Pacific Ocean, Gogeta raced through the sky at supersonic speed, slicing through the air above the sea below. In his hand was a phone, and on the other end was one of the senior heroes who had helped him countless times before.

His name was Hawks. He possessed the ability to fly and was known as the man who was too fast for the world.

"Hey, you're still as fast as ever, aren't you? Maybe I should give up my title as the fastest."

He said it in a lighthearted tone. Thanks to that, Gogeta no longer felt intimidated by other heroes, and this exchange with Hawks had become a source of comfort for him.

Not just as Gogeta, but also as Goto Shintaro.

"So, didn't you have something to ask? Unfortunately, I didn't buy any souvenirs today..."

"Oh, really? I was hoping to try some authentic fried chicken..."

"Should I go back now?"

"No, wait, I'm kidding. If people found out I used the No. 1 hero as my errand boy, his fans would be furious."

"Hahaha..."

He probably meant it as a gesture of consideration toward him, who had become No. 1 and was now partnered with All Might. The way he tried to ease the tension with casual conversation showed that Hawks was quite skilled.

"Ah, right. About that Mirko person you mentioned earlier, it doesn't seem like she's looking for you at the moment."

"Oh, really?"

"...Your voice changed so obviously. Are you that afraid of her?"

"Well, yeah... When I was a sidekick, she tried to let me stay at her office."

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Hawks felt something was off about this conversation.

(...Wait, Mirko doesn't have an office, does she?)

Rabbit Hero Mirko was said to have neither an office nor a sidekick. She was a female hero who had completely overturned the conventional role of a hero. She specialized in fighting villains and believed in "kicking first," and was recognized by both herself and others as a ferocious rabbit.

Such a woman... inviting him to her agency? Feeling a vague sense of unease from the contradictory conversation, Hawks cautiously asked Gogeta.

"Um... Gogeta-kun? By the way, what's the agency like where Mirko-san works?"

"Huh? It's my house. That person seems to use their own home as an agency, so I thought it would be convenient and copied them. Though, since I became No. 1, it's mostly lost its meaning."

(──── Ah)

Hawks had heard that rabbits, depending on the individual, had a tendency to want to claim things as their own.

They would stick to things excessively, rub their chins against them to leave their scent, or try to take them back to their nests...

Having thought it through to that point, Hawks decided to stop pursuing the topic, as he didn't want to get bogged down in it.

(But what the hell did he do to make Mirko act like that?!)

It was Gogeta, after all.

"Hawks-san?"

"Oh, sorry. I was lost in thought. So, what's the plan for our No. 1 Hero after this?"

"I'll go home, take a shower, and report to the Hero Committee."

"Got it. I'll let the Hero Committee know about that. Thanks for your hard work."

"Thanks."

Just as he finished speaking, the call ended with perfect timing. Gogeta was strangely impressed by his thoughtfulness.

"...Huh?"

Suddenly, he saw a shadow in front of him. He was close enough to Japanese airspace now, and something was rushing toward him. It was moving at a decent speed, though nowhere near as fast as Hawks, and was heading straight for Gogeta.

(What is that?)

Its movements were also strange. The moment he focused his eyes on it, he realized it was clearly not normal...

"Pigyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"

A black monster with an exposed brain and wings attacked him.

◇

"Alright. Today's study session is complete. Thank you for your hard work, All Might."

"Phew. I'm exhausted..."

In a room of the hero office shared by All Might and Gogeta in the city center, Sir Nighteye was leading a study session in preparation for the teacher's exam.

Sir Nighteye, who had once served as All Might's strategic mind, possessed unparalleled knowledge in educational matters, providing more than enough assistance for All Might's teacher certification exam.

However, due to the short deadline for obtaining the qualification, the content he imparted was nothing short of Spartan, leaving All Might mentally exhausted despite barely moving his body.

"We've covered all the basics. The rest is up to you, All Might."

"Thank you, Nighteye. I owe you so much."

There was no trace of the former tension between the two as they laughed together. All Might's body was gradually recovering thanks to the miraculous beans created by Gogeta, and he could now even eat oily dishes once a week.

Additionally, after accepting Principal Nezu's proposal to begin searching for a successor, All Might had already started preparing to pass on his responsibilities. Looking back even to his days as a sidekick, he had never experienced such peaceful days, and Nighteye's expression was also somehow brighter.

The only minor complaint was that it was that troublemaker who had brought this about... but no, he should just be grateful for now.

"However, his name has spread quite far. Egypt, Germany, England, France, Australia, and America. Several countries already recognize the hero known as Gogeta."

"His abilities were already on another level during his internship. It's almost inevitable that he would become world-famous."

"But he didn't seem to have any such intentions."

All Might sipped the sweet coffee handed to him by Nighteye and laughed cheerfully. In truth, Gogeta wasn't obsessed with the fame of being a hero; he was content as long as he had enough money to live on and a place to train.

Now, he was one of Japan's representative heroes and was gaining worldwide recognition. All Might felt a mix of joy and sadness at his partner's rise to fame.

"There's not much time left before our partnership dissolves. After passing on One For All to the next generation and witnessing their growth, I'll quietly fade into the background without making a fuss."

There was no clear candidate for the next successor yet, but at his former alma mater, where the next generation of heroes gathered, he might find a promising candidate. If that happened, his role would finally come to an end, and he would have no reason to cling to being a hero anymore.

All that remained was to continue his own activities quietly, helping to nurture the next generation of heroes. Reflecting on his past hero activities, All Might looked forward to that day with anticipation.

"—It's frustrating, but it was thanks to him that All Might changed. However, he still has many flaws as a hero. For the sake of nurturing him into the true No. 1 hero, All Might, I need your strength."

"Haha, you're still as harsh as ever. But you do acknowledge him, don't you?"

"...…No comment."

All Might smiled as he said that to Nighteye, who had adjusted his glasses and turned away.

At that moment, the curtains in the room where All Might and the others were staying were drawn due to the late hour. The two of them noticed the sound of someone knocking on the glass behind the closed curtains and looked at each other, then stood in front of the curtains.

Looking back now, maybe Nighteye should have used his Foresight Quirk at that moment.

After all...

"Oh, All Might. Sorry, but can you help me check this guy out? He seems to only be able to say 'Pigyaa'."

"Pii, Piiiiii..."

"What the...?! What's going on?!"

Gogeta, who had grabbed the neck of an obviously abnormal villain with his brain exposed, shattered the remaining peaceful atmosphere.

"This guy seems to have the ability to regenerate, but there's something else going on. All Might... Tossy, you know someone in the police, right? Can you get in touch with them somehow?"

"Eh, um... But he seems really scared."

"I ran into him on my way back from the U.S., and as soon as he saw me, he attacked me. I had no choice but to fight back, so I punched and slashed him a few times, and then he calmed down."

"Piggy! Piguu!"

"No way, he's definitely scared. You went too far again, Gogeta. I always tell you to go easy on villains."

"I did! I really did!"

"Really?"

"I'm telling you it's true. But what the heck is this guy? Does Nighteye know anything about him..."

"This... this..."

"Nighteye?"

"I always tell you to report promptly, don't I?!"

Later, Tsukauchi Naomasa, who had been notified and rushed to the scene, looked at Gogeta and thought.

Yeah, there's no doubt about it.
