Not you, Izuku.

Transcript:

In QingQing, China, a glowing baby was born, beginning the birth of children with more superpowers than a certain cinematic universe. At first these abilities called “quirks” were a shiny new toy for mankind, but not all used their powers for good and took up the mantle of Villain. The Police decided that NOT using their quirks to enforce the law is a good idea to keep a status quo, giving rise to the profession of “Hero”. This allowed the use of quirks to fight crime for money, fame...and sometimes justice.

Heroes became the new celebrities, to the point that Hero High School’s sports festival was more of a public spectacle than the Olympics. While heroes are supposed to be working together, they have no problem stealing a villain’s capture for public credit and money from one another like birds body slamming each other off a feeder for seeds.*

Izuku Midoriya was born into the 5th generation of super humans, where 80% of the world’s populace is born with a quirk. Izuku drew the short straw, being a boring, pathetic, normal human being who won’t stop crying. Boku No My Hero No Academia might seem a light-hearted tale about sheer determination changing your fate, but heroes wouldn’t be heroes without overcoming something truly evil. Have fun!
