Episode 4

"Start Line" is the fourth episode of the My Hero Academia anime.

Summary
The practical test of the Entrance Exam begins but as it nears the end, Izuku has been unable to dispatch any of the robots. Suddenly, a huge robot appears and Izuku sees the same girl who helped him earlier trapped under rubble. Izuku musters the courage and decides to save the girl. Izuku activates One For All for the first time, jumps up to the robot and delivers a devastating punch to the huge robot, smashing it into pieces, which shocks everyone. All Might in his true form, who is in the crowd watching, smiles and is glad that Izuku has the most important quality of a Hero: self-sacrifice.

Izuku, having used One For All for the first time, begins feeling the physical repercussions of his new Quirk; his legs are broken as well as his right arm. Izuku tries to use One For All to make a safe landing but is unable to do so. The girl, who Izuku saved from the huge robot, uses her Quirk to make him float, saving him. The practical test is declared over, much to Izuku's unhappiness. The other participants' comment on Izuku's Quirk, calling him incredible while another participant understands that Izuku risked his life to save the girl even though it would cost him his chance of passing the exam and becomes impressed with him. Recovery Girl, U.A.'s nurse, heals Izuku's injuries.

One week later, Izuku receives a letter to say whether he made it into U.A. or not. Izuku opens the letter, which reveals a screen with All Might on it. All Might tells Izuku that he apologizes for not contacting him sooner. He then says that he is going to work at U.A. All Might tells Izuku that he did fine on the written test, but scored zero points on the practical test, meaning he failed, much to Izuku's sadness. However, All Might then shows a video of Ochaco, asking Present Mic if she could share her points with Izuku because he saved her, much to his shock. All Might says that the judges were looking for more than just smashing robots; they were also looking for rescue points, which Izuku scored 60 rescue points for saving Ochako. All Might says that Izuku has passed and has been accepted into U.A. and will now be his Hero Academia, much to Izuku's joy.
