Chapter 1

Izuku Midoriya: Origin (緑谷出久：オリジン, Midoriya Izuku: Orijin) is the first chapter of Kōhei Horikoshi's Boku no Hero Academia.

Summary
The story begins with a prologue, that one day in Quiq Quig, China, a "Luminiscent Baby" was born with a unique power called "Quirk". Then, around the world, as time passed, humanity started to obtain Quirks (which eventually became normal) and people realised that with these Quirks, their dreams could become a reality: dreams of being Heroes. Now, 80% of the world is comprised of superhumans and people's dream of being Heroes became a profession which is under the spotlight.

The story shifts to the present. Izuku, a 14 year old boy, dreams of becoming a Hero, but unlike other people, Izuku was not born with a Quirk and is constantly bullied by his childhood friend Katsuki, a 14 year old boy with an impressive Quirk, because of not having a Quirk.

One day, walking home from school, Izuku is attacked by a villain, but is saved by the timely arrival of the hero All Might, a famous hero who is known as the Symbol of Peace. Before All Might leaves, Izuku asks him whether he can become a Hero without a Quirk. All Might tells him that it is fine to dream but he should not confuse his dream with his reality and leaves.

Continuing walking home, Izuku then spots a crowd watching a villain wrecking havoc using Katsuki's body as a medium. Not wanting to stand by and do nothing, Izuku jumps in to try and save Katsuki, shocking the crowd including All Might who decides to step in and defeats the villain with Detroit Smash, saving Izuku and Katsuki's lives.

Nearly home, Katsuki approaches him and threatens him to never try and help him and leaves, seething in rage. Suddenly, All Might appears and thanks Izuku for inspiring him with his bravery despite not having a Quirk. All Might then tells Izuku that he has a proposal and then says that he too can become a Hero, which makes Izuku cry in joy for having his dream finally acknowledged not by anyone, but by the hero he admires the most: All Might.
