[IZUKU] Welcome to UA High,
the prestigious school
that's turned out some of
the world's greatest heroes.
I'm running toward my
dream in these halls.
Learning to overcome
obstacles and save people
with a smile on my face.
That's how I'll become the
greatest hero in the world!
[MUSCULAR]
Show me your blood!
[ALL MIGHT]
A real hero...
...will always find a way
for justice to be served!
[IZUKU] Please, forgive me,
Mom. I tried my best.
I'm sorry...
...All Might.
I'm gonna crush you.
What the...? Is that water?
[KOTA]
Stop. Let him go!
[IZUKU]
Ko... ta?
Hold on, there, 'kay?
I'll k*ll you after
I'm done with--
[MUSCULAR]
Crap. I was distracted.
I won't let you hurt Kota.
Damn it. How are you
getting stronger?
You won't lay a hand on him!
One for All.
One million percent!
Delaware... Detroit Smash!
[IZUKU yells]
[KUROGIRI] You're sure they'll
be all right on their own?
[SHIGARAKI] I'm a non-playable
character this level.
They'll make it work without me.
Besides, this game
has totally changed.
I've been thinking
of it as an RPG.
We had some pretty good equips,
but we challenged the big boss
while still at Level One.
Really, it's more of
a simulation game.
I'm the player.
And I'll use all my little pawns
to smash through
the heroes' ranks.
But first,
I need to make cracks
in the superhuman world.
That's where the
Vanguard Action Squad
of the League of
Villains comes in.
Who cares if these
guys win or lose?
The heroes will be scared
just because they showed up.
[KUROGIRI]
They're sacrificial pawns?
[SHIGARAKI]
Come on.
Do you really think
I'm that heartless?
I'd never underestimate
their strength.
They may have different
goals than me,
but they're
comrades, nonetheless.
In a society bound
by ridiculous rules,
villains aren't the only ones
who are being oppressed.
Let's hope they can
pull this off.
[IZUKU panting]
[gasps] Hey!
Everything's okay.
Gimme a second, and then
there's something
I have to take care of.
But you're all beat up!
What more could
you have to do now?
[IZUKU]
I knew he'd be strong.
That's why I had to try
to defeat him here.
I thought I'd be able to
inflict a lot more damage
in the end, though. Turns out,
I seriously underestimated
how powerful his Quirk was.
If every villain attacking us
tonight is on the same level,
all our lives are at stake.
On top of that,
it sounds like they're
after some of us students.
I have to let Mr. Aizawa
and the Pussycats know
that's one of the
reasons they're here.
I may be injured,
but I'm not defeated yet,
there are more
people I can save.
[IZUKU] We'll leave this villain
here for the time being.
With my arms messed up,
my smash was probably
weaker than it could have been,
but it I still think it's
taken him down for a while.
He won't wake up anytime soon.
And even if he did,
he'd be too weak to fight.
For right now,
I just need to make
sure you're safe.
We're gonna need some help
only you can give us.
The forest has been
set on fire.
That means my friends could
be trapped by the flames.
But we have hope.
Your water Quirk can
put those fires out.
[gasps]
Kota? You hear me?
We need you.
[IZUKU]
Now, get on my back.
We need to get you
to camp, fast.
[KOTA]
You sure you can carry me?
You're all busted up.
[IZUKU]
No need to worry.
That's why I left
my legs unbroken!
Hang on tight.
This could be rough.
[KOTA gasps]
Do you know where
a kid named Bakugo
might be around here?
[IZUKU] I've got a bad
feeling about this.
[AIZAWA] I'll look after the
other students. Protect them.
[MONOMA]
Wasn't this a secret?
[AIZAWA]
If it's a full-scale attack...
[AIZAWA]
We're in big trouble.
Looks like your concern
has you distracted, Eraser.
[AIZAWA]
Vlad!
Nice move. Guess you
really are a pro.
[AIZAWA]
Not so fast.
[DABI grunts]
What do you want,
and where are your
friends hiding?
[DABI grunts]
My what?
Your right arm's next.
[DABI grunts]
Be logical about this.
At least save your legs.
It would be a real pain
to have to carry you off
to jail without them.
You can take your
time, Eraserhead.
[AIZAWA gasps]
What's that?
[TENYA]
Mr. Aizawa!
[ALL panting]
[AIZAWA]
Stay back.
[DABI]
He's good.
I won't be able to
take much more of this.
[DABI] That's exactly the
performance I'd expect
out of a UA teacher.
Tell me, hero.
You worried for your students?
[AIZAWA] The fire that he shot
earlier wasn't his Quirk?
I wonder if you can
save them in the end.
See you soon.
What was that? Did he just melt?
[gasps]
Everyone get inside.
I'll be back.
[TWICE groans]
Come on, Dabi!
You got your ass handed
to you! By a magic scarf!
How weak. That
happened fast, huh?
[TWICE]
Huh? Don't say that.
Better to frame this as
the pro being too strong.
It's important to mind
your self-esteem,
even on a perilous mission.
Whatever, Twice. Just
make another one of me.
We need to keep
those pros occupied.
[TWICE] Another small fry,
comin' right up.
Leave it to me.
[IZUKU]
Just a little bit further.
[gasps] Hey, look!
[IZUKU]
Mr. Aizawa!
Midoriya--
[IZUKU]
You're here. Thank goodness.
I need to catch you up
on what I've learned
about the villains,
but we don't have much time.
--[AIZAWA] Hey.
--Plus, I need to find Mandalay.
There's something
I have to tell her.
Hold on!
[IZUKU] Please take care
of Kota while I'm gone!
[AIZAWA] This kid is running
on pure adrenaline.
[IZUKU]
I'll be back soon!
Wait, Midoriya!
[IZUKU grunts]
[sighs] Those injuries...
You went too far again,
didn't you?
Have you forgotten about Hosu?
Uh...
[TSURAGAMAE]
That's why it's against the law
for uncertified people to use
their Quirks to cause injury.
None of you had the authority
to harm the villain.
No. I haven't.
[AIZAWA]
Go.
But tell Mandalay
something for me, too.
[gasps]
[TIGER growls]
No fair. Back off.
Let me equip my item.
[TIGER growls]
[TIGER]
Damn it.
How is he predicting
my Cat Combat?
You're not...
...a real hero!
You brought this
on yourself, girl!
[MANDALAY]
Jeez, you're persistent.
[SPINNER]
As are you.
But it's time to knock you
off your false throne.
[IZUKU]
Smash!
[gasps]
Mandalay! Kota! He's safe!
You found him?
[IZUKU] And I've got
a message from Mr. Aizawa.
We need you to use Telepath!
[DABI]
Tell me, hero.
Are you worried
for your students?
I wonder if you can
save them in the end.
[AIZAWA]
His words made it clear to me
that our students
are the targets.
So it's unavoidable.
They have to protect themselves.
And each other.
Go ahead and use your training.
I'll take the heat.
Tell everyone in
Class A and Class B
that Eraser Head has
granted them permission
to engage in combat
with the villains.
[MANDALAY]
Everyone in Class A and Class B!
In the name of the
pro hero, Eraserhead,
you are granted permission
to engage in combat.
I repeat. Use your training.
You may fight these villains.
[MANDALAY] I hope you know
what you're doing, Eraser.
[AIZAWA]
Future heroes.
Do not let this night be
the end of your journey!
[AIZAWA]
I forgot to tell Midoriya
to come back right away.
This is bad.
The only reason
he's still going
with those injuries is
because of the endorphins
pumping through his body.
It's temporary.
Once he's accomplished his goals
and calms down a little,
he won't be able to move at all.
[KOTA]
Mister. Is he gonna be okay?
I... I sort of
punched him before.
And still, he got beat to a pulp
just so he could protect me.
I never apologized.
Or even thanked him.
Please tell me... He's not
gonna get hurt more, right?
Don't worry. He
sustained those injuries
because he has no
intention of dying.
Though, as his teacher,
when this is over,
I'll have to scold him for
acting without my permission.
[KOTA gasps]
Really?
[AIZAWA]
Anyway.
You'll get your chance
to talk to him again.
And when you do,
put more emphasis on
the "thank you" part.
[MANDALAY]
Get back to camp right now!
Those injuries aren't normal.
[IZUKU]
I'm sorry. I can't!
You need to send one more thing.
The villains. I know
one reason they're here.
Huh?
[IZUKU]
They're after Kacchan!
Please, you have to let
the others know!
Kacchan? Who's that?
No! Wait! Stop!
[MAGNE] That rumble
in the ground earlier.
Only two people in our group
fight with that kind of power.
And sounds like
one of them talked.
Could it possibly
have been Muscular?
Don't tell me that little kid
is more powerful than him.
In that case...
This child must be put down!
[SPINNER]
Don't, Big Sis Mag.
[MAGNE yelps]
What the hell was
that for, Spinner?
He was on the
priority k*ll list!
Shigaraki's the one
who wants him dead.
[MAGNE] Uh, yeah, and he's
the reason we're here.
[SPINNER] But that boy is
someone Stain wished to save.
Which means he was deemed worthy
of being called a true hero.
If Stain spared him, then--
About time I got a solid hit in.
[MANDALAY]
Can't stop the boy.
But I can relay his message.
[MANDALAY]
Listen, we've discovered
one of the villains' targets.
It's a student named Kacchan.
Bakugo?
What do they want with him?
[MANDALAY] Kacchan, you
should try to avoid combat.
And to stick to a group.
Aw, damn it!
[MANDALAY]
I hope you can hear me!
I could focus if you
got out of my damn head!
I can take care of myself!
Don't rush into
this fight carelessly!
[MOONFISH] Have to keep
going... Have to work...
Do my job...
[MOONFISH growls]
Weren't you listening
to Mandalay?
They're here because
they're after you.
Telling us not to engage
and then changing their minds.
I don't know how, but I get the
feeling this is Deku's fault.
[KATSUKI yells]
Well, I don't care
what anyone says!
Damn it.
He's good at moving through
this terrain with his Quirk.
This freak he looks like
a scrawny little sidekick to me!
C'mon, ya bastard!
[TODOROKI] This clearly
isn't his first battle.
Show me... Show me
your exquisite flesh!
We can't start fires around here
because the flames will spread!
Everyone could die
if we aren't careful.
Do you understand me?
Yeah, I get it! I'm not stupid!
[TODOROKI]
Even if we try to retreat,
there's poison gas everywhere.
They're obviously trying
to drive us into a corner.
[TETSUTETSU]
Did you hear what she said?
We've got permission
to punch people!
[KENDO]
Wait, Tetsutetsu!
Do you understand
how this gas works?
[TETSUTETSU]
Yeah, it's dangerous.
Gimme some credit, Kendo.
[KENDO] Listen! Mandalay
didn't say anything
about the gas in her message.
That means it must
not have spread
to wherever she's
broadcasting from.
But that doesn't make any sense.
This gas is moving
really slowly.
Normally it would
spread out more, right?
This is staying in one place.
Not acting naturally.
And look.
It's definitely denser here
than it was in the area
we just ran away from.
[TETSUTETSU]
Okay. So what?
[KENDO] I think it's
swirling around one source.
Somewhere near here.
Like a typhoon.
If that's true,
there should be someone
who's producing the gas
at the center of the storm.
A villain who's controlling it.
[TETSUTETSU]
I get it now! Oh, man, Kendo.
You're so amazing!
[KENDO]
I figured you'd miss the signs.
That's why I came
with you. Okay.
The closer we get to
the center of the swirl,
the thicker the poison
will be. That's a problem.
There's a limit to how much gas
these things can filter.
And the denser the gas, the
shorter the functioning time.
That means...
[TETSUTETSU] Ah! We run
head-first into the center
of the typhoon and
punch whoever's there!
[KENDO groans]
Well, technically, yeah.
[KENDO] He's a little one-note,
but he's not wrong.
[TETSUTETSU] Shiozaki and
our other classmates
suffered because of this
villain's stupid power.
Stuff like that
really pisses me off.
Let's teach this bad guy
a lesson, Kendo!
[KENDO]
Heh!
[KENDO] I can't say I don't
like this side of you.
[MUSTARD]
Three--no.
Two people are headed
straight for me.
I guess a few of them
avoided my gas
and realized I'm here.
I should have expected that
from a prestigious school.
But then...
No matter how wonderful
their Quirks may be...
[TETSUTETSU]
I found you!
[MUSTARD]
...they're still only human.
[IZUKU]
That sounded like a g*nsh*t.
Kacchan, you better be okay!
[MUSTARD]
Ah.
I saw you on TV during
the sports festival.
You can make your skin hard.
That means you're bulletproof.
[TETSUTETSU grunts]
[MUSTARD]
Eh. That doesn't really matter.
Because now, it's just
a matter of how long
you can hold your breath
in this toxic miasma.
[TETSUTETSU]
Seriously? He pulled a g*n?
And he took out my
mask with one shot.
What's this shorty's deal?
And why is he wearing
a school uniform?
He's probably my age.
[MUSTARD] What, do you think
you're The Terminator?
Even if you can steel yourself,
charging straight
in is a fool's move.
Shouldn't you be smarter
if you go to UA?
Don't be so rash. Use your head.
[TETSUTETSU grunts]
[MUSTARD]
Or you're not worth k*lling.
[KENDO]
Testsutetsu!
[TETSUTETSU]
It's no good. Retreat!
[MUSTARD laughs]
[MUSTARD]
Two against one,
and you were banking
on a surprise attack.
What a simple plan.
I expected better.
I'm producing and
controlling this gas, yes.
But that's not all.
The gas is showing me
your movements
with its fluctuations.
In other words,
you can't hide from me.
You arrogant UA students.
Why didn't you figure
that out, huh?
You're shattering the image
I had of your school.
What a shame.
--[TETSUTETSU growls]
--[KENDO] Wait, no!
[MUSTARD]
Moron.
[MUSTARD]
What's this?
You seem softer than
you were earlier.
Let me guess,
maybe metal fatigue?
Or is it because you
can't breathe anymore?
How many more
sh*ts can you take?
Brace yourself for another.
[yelps]
[MUSTARD] Don't they usually
do endurance tests
for people like you who
have simple, one-note Quirks?
And yet, you still rush in
like you're indestructible.
[TETSUTETSU grunts]
[MUSTARD]
Hey.
You guys wanna grow up
to be heroes, right?
Something about that
is so strange to me.
For people to fawn over
someone like you,
a one-trick pony, just because
of where you went to school!
That's what's wrong
with this world!
[TETSUTETSU grunts]
[TETSUTETSU]
Oh, crap. I can't breathe.
And Kendo--
Strength's... going.
Vision's... distorted.
Everything is fading.
[KENDO]
Stop!
[MUSTARD] I told you,
I can tell exactly how
you're moving thanks
to the flow of the gas.
[KENDO] I don't give a damn
if you know where I am.
[MUSTARD] I can't believe
you think you'll win
with that pitiful Quirk.
[KENDO]
Whether it's pitiful or not
completely depends
on how I use it!
I can still stop you!
[MUSTARD] Just how much power
do those stupid hands have?
[KENDO]
You're pathetic.
Carrying a g*n around
in that dumb uniform
is basically saying you
know you can't win a fight
on your own merits.
[MUSTARD]
You little...
[KENDO] This is for those at UA
who have a one-track mind.
[MUSTARD gasps] The gas got
thinner, so I didn't realize!
[KENDO] Because when everyone
else is ready to give up...
[MUSTARD groans]
[KENDO] ...they take another
step and go beyond!
[KENDO]
The poison. It's disappearing.
[gasps]
[pants]
If a gas user is
wearing his own mask,
there's only one thing to do!
Break it.
[groans, pants]
You're gonna pay
for ruining our camp.
And for sh**ting me. Stupid kid!
[IZUKU panting]
[IZUKU]
Kacchan and Todoroki went second
in the test of courage.
If they didn't go
back to camp yet,
then they might still
be around here.
[gasps]
[IZUKU yells]
[gasps]
[IZUKU]
Shoji. What happened--?
[SHOJI]
With those injuries...
You should be laid up
in bed recovering.
But you wanna save your friend.
No matter what the cost.
[IZUKU]
You're injured, too.
[SHOJI]
Yes.
We were ambushed by villains,
and I covered us.
But the attack triggered
Tokoyami's Quirk,
even though he was desperately
trying to hold it back.
[TOKOYAMI] My Quirk's offensive
ability gets stronger
when I'm in darkness.
But, that makes
Dark Shadow aggressive
and difficult to control.
No... Don't tell me!
[SHOJI] Yeah. If we wanna
get through here,
we'll have to face
Dark Shadow first.
[DARK SHADOW growling]
Stay away from me! You'll die!
[gasps]
Tokoyami, no!
[DARK SHADOW roars]
[IZUKU]
Now, the preview!
Tokoyami's Dark Shadow has gone
completely out of control!
How can we help him overcome
his Quirk when it's thriving
in the black of the night?
Meanwhile, the League
of Villains continues
their hunt for Kacchan.
My classmates are in trouble.
What should I do?
Go after Kacchan or
try to help Tokoyami?
Whatever I choose will
have big consequences.
Next time: "Roaring Upheaval."
My decision could affect us all!
I have to be smart.
Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
