SFromA Level 1
- ヒーロー = ひーろー = (hi-ro-)
→hero
the words used many times.
Could you find it without subtitle??
- 個性 = こせい = (ko se i)
→ Quirk
Actually, the subtitle is confusing for me. I think it is the best meaning for こせい is “ability that he or she has since birth.
Try to listen the words!
SFromA Level 2
- 下がって、下がって、= さがって、さがって、= (sa ga tte, sa ga tte)
→ Stay back, stay back
This sentence used by backdraft who is pro hero.

WHen you can memorize it, you can use it without any changing!

SFromA Level 3

そして、ぼくのさいしょでさいごのざせつだ。
(so shi te, bo ku no sa i syo de sa i go no za se tu da.)
→ And that was my first and last setback
Yellow hightlight is Japanese connection words.
Japanese connection words are hard because Japanese can’t explian why this conecction is correct…
However, if you put different connection words, the sentence changes meaning…
You need to learn many times, and you need to feel that the connection words are good for here or not.
ぼくの最初 = (bo ku no sa i syo) → my first time
最後 = さいご (sa i go) → last
挫折 = ざせつ (za se tu) → setback
