[Intro]
[MAKOTO NAEGI]
(Spoken) Hope’s Peak Academy. A government-funded high school of privilege built to raise hope in our nation’s future. If you graduate, you’ll be set for life! Good luck getting in though, only the most elite students are scouted into the program. We call these students ‘Ultimates.’ The Ultimate Pop Sensation, the Ultimate Baseball Star, the Ultimate Fashionista, the Ultimate Biker Gang Leader, and of coursе tons more. All way above averagе, talented, our country’s finest. And then there’s me, your average, untalented high schooler. I only got in through a lottery. My name’s Makoto Naegi, and I’m the Ultimate Lucky Student

Can do what Ultimates do
