[IZUKU] Today is Saturday,
which means that
Kacchan and Todoroki
don't have to go
to provisional license training!
So, since we've
got everyone together,
we're all working on our
upcoming performance.
Now. Let's jam.
[KATSUKI]
m*rder them with music!
[SERO] Perfect. That's
gonna look super cool!
Let's go see what
the dance team says!
I'm not sure we've
got enough people
to pull something like this off.
Loosen up, Midoriya!
You've got to be
precise, but flexible!
Just because its called a "lock"
doesn't mean you
should be so rigid.
So get that body moving.
And then end with a pop!
[IZUKU, TENYA, TSUYU, HAGAKURE]
Pop!
[MIRIO] Looks like no one
has noticed me yet.
I'll swoop in and hit 'em
with a can't-miss gag
that'll cr*ck 'em up before
they know what's what.
[IZUKU]
Ah-- Oh, hey, Togata!
--[IZUKU, OCHACO] Uh?
--[TSUYU] Ribbit.
[IZUKU, OCHACO, TSUYU]
Eri!
[MIRIO] Hey, guys!
I brought a peach for ya!
[IZUKU]
Eri!
Hi, Deku.
Wait, don't tell me
you've got a secret kid!
That dress looks great on you.
You are precious!
[AIZAWA]
Midoriya.
Finally got permission
from the principal.
[NEZU]
That's a good idea.
But you'll have to be careful.
The poor girl has been separated
from normal society
for an awfully long time.
I'm afraid the whole experience
could overwhelm her.
She'll be thrown
into a new setting
that she's completely
unfamiliar with. I suggest...
In order to avoid
additional stress,
we're letting Eri explore
the campus before the festival.
Well, hello!
You must be Eri,
from the work study!
Very nice to meet you. I'm Iida.
Mineta! Hey, there!
Man, you're gonna
be a looker, aren't ya?
[BOTH]
Uh!
[MIRIO]
Oh. Right. She's kind of shy.
[TENYA]
That's perfectly okay!
Let's start the tour.
I wanna show her as much
of the school as I can
so she knows what we do here.
You wanna come, too, Midoriya?
Yes!
[KIRISHIMA]
Dance team! New idea.
Uh? It's Eri!
Oh, wait, we were never
actually introduced, were we?
Okay, crew, why don't
we grab a little break.
It's teatime!
[MIRIO]
It may be a weekend day,
but since the students
live here in the dorms,
there are still a ton of
people running around campus
helping to prepare
for the festival.
[BUSINESS STUDENT A]
Hey. It's Togata!
Whoa! Who's that?
Don't tell me your temporary
leave from school
was because you have a kid now!
[BUSINESS STUDENT B]
Dude, you gotta say something.
Now I feel like it's for real.
[BUSINESS STUDENT A]
All jokes aside, here.
Class is putting on
an awesome lecture,
so make sure you check
it out! You, too, man.
Wouldn't miss it for the world!
[IZUKU]
This is a really nice flyer!
[STUDENT A]
Can you toss me a nail?
Hey, whoa, whoa, wait!
Don't cover that with a poster!
Everyone's super busy even
though it's still a month away.
Oh, def, you gotta try
and outdo last year.
And it takes a lot
of work to pull off
something Plus Ultra.
[IZUKU yelps]
[TETSUTETSU] Sorry! Hey.
It's Midoriya from Class A!
Why am I not surprised, huh?
You're walkin' around
like you've got
nothing to do while
we're all hustling.
Eri, are you okay?
I thought it was that
dragon from before.
You saw a dragon?
Oh. You're talking about Ryukyu.
So you're just gonna ignore me?
Talk about rude.
I heard Class A
is doing a concert
or something for us.
That's so cute.
But to put it bluntly,
Class B's stellar performance
is gonna make you wish
you hadn't even shown up.
We're doing Romeo and Juliet
and the Prisoner of Azkaban:
The Return of the King .
It's a completely original
play written by us.
A super spectacular
fantasy epic!
You should make sure
you come prepared.
Bring a hankie to wipe
the tears from your eyes
when you realize
how superior we are!
[cackles]
He's even nastier
than usual today.
Yeah, sorry about that, guys,
Kendo isn't around, so there's
no one to keep him in line.
That's weird, the two of them
typically show up as a set.
Well, she's off prepping for the
beauty pageant right now, so.
Beauty what?
[YOSETSU]
It's kinda funny.
She didn't even mean to enter.
Monoma was still right, though.
We're pullin' out all the stops.
Sorry 'bout that,
Eri, UA's great,
but every place has
its downside, I guess.
Mr. Aizawa didn't say anything
about there being some
kinda beauty pageant.
Well, it's too late to enter.
But you know who's
really gunning hard
to win it this time?
No idea.
[MIRIO]
Last year's runner-up!
The Big Three's best
girl, Nejire Hado.
[gasps] Hey, hey!
What's Eri doing here?
Hey, girl! Why ya
here? For funsies?
We should put
Nejire in something
that skews cute instead of sexy.
Yeah, that cost her last year.
You've got a flashy Quirk
and you're so nice!
And your body's so bou... bou...
[MIRIO]
He means balanced.
But even with all that,
you were still only runner-up?
Yeah, listen to this!
Are you listening?
Every year, I lose
to the same girl!
She's just too amazing.
The beauty pageant queen,
Bibimi Kenranzaki,
from support course Class -G!
[IZUKU]
She sounds incredible.
[AMAJIKI]
This year's pageant is stacked.
Kendo gained some
underground fans thanks
to that commercial,
so she's a real contender.
And of course, Hado
won't be holding back.
Just thinking about performing
in front of all those people...
It sounds like a nightmare.
Imagining it makes me nauseous.
At first, the only reason
I entered was because
Yuyu told me to, but
turns out, it's lots of fun!
I wanna crush it.
That's why, this year,
I'll definitely come in first!
It's my last chance.
You can do it.
[MIRIO] Moving on!
Next we'll show you...
The support course!
All the grades are
working together to put on
an extra-awesome
exhibition of their work!
I can't wait to see!
I hear it's a
highlight every year.
Yes. The school festival
is the support course's
time to shine!
[gasps] Hatsume! Wait. Whoa!
[HATSUME] That's my
super-cute baby number .
[IZUKU] Think you might
have some grease on you.
Ha! I'm filthy, but I can't
waste time bathing.
What?
That's dedication.
[HATSUME] Even though
we showed off some items
at the sports festival, we took
a backseat to the heroes.
But... this time the
contraptions we've come up with
will be given the
spotlight they deserve!
Which means lots of
big companies and buyers
can get up close and
personal with my work.
I need to make sure
they're perfect
so they don't embarrass me!
How did the iron soles work out
for you, by the way?
If there's anything else you
need, please let me know.
--I will. Thank--
--[rattling]
[HATSUME]
Baby?!
[yelps] Not again, Hatsume!
[SUPPORT STUDENT B]
Where's the extinguisher!
Sorry. We should run.
Don't worry, Eri.
'Kay.
[MIRIO] Welp, that's
pretty much all of UA.
That's right.
So, what do you think
about our school, Eri?
I, uh. I'm not sure.
[BOTH laugh nervously]
[ERI]
But...
I can see how hard everyone
is working on the festival,
and I do wanna know
how it all turns out.
[NEZU] It sounds like
our special visitor
is getting excited.
[IZUKU] Principal Nezu!
Ms. Midnight! Hello!
It seems like we made
the right choice.
[IZUKU]
That was a lot of cheese.
Know what? I'm excited
for everything, too.
I love seeing so many
students joining together
and having fun, all in
the hopes that their peers
will have a good time.
Now, if we could
just get the police
to understand that.
Now, now, Kayama.
Anyway, I hope your hearts
burst with happiness
when the day rolls around.
[POLICE CHIEF]
You must cancel this festival.
I can't believe the head
of the police himself
is paying me a visit.
[POLICE CHIEF] Villains
are becoming more daring
and our heroes are
losing confidence.
If something were
to happen to UA again,
we might not be able to recover.
I understand that. However--
Listen. You're putting
everyone here at risk.
[NEZU] I firmly believe that
because of the trying times
we're living in, the students
need an event like this.
We'll make sure it's safe.
Please let us continue.
We can't let the future
look any bleaker
than it already does.
I'll spare you all
the gory details,
but the principal
fought hard for you.
As a result, security
will be heavier
than in past years. Just know.
If an alarm sounds,
even if it's a false one,
we'll have to shut
down and evacuate.
Those were the terms
the police agreed upon.
That's strict.
Of course, to keep
that from happening,
we're also beefing up
our defensive measures.
We even let Hound Dog
off his leash to patrol.
[IZUKU]
You did?
Oh, yes.
Did you know Class A's
performance is causing
quite a stir in
the faculty lounge?
You'd better make
it pleasurable.
Right!
[ERI]
Deku? What performance?
[IZUKU]
We're doing a big live concert!
I'm on the dance team!
And I'm gonna do
my best to make it fun
for you and everybody else.
So be sure you come watch!
Sorry, you two. My break
is almost over. I'm off.
Okay! Just so you know,
I'm lookin' forward to
seeing you get down, too!
[IZUKU]
And then...
A week later, it happened.
[ASHIDO]
Midoriya.
I've got bad news.
You're fired from
the dance team!
[yelps]
[ASHIDO] You're fired
from the dance team!
Oops, maybe that
sounded a little harsh.
You've been scouted
by another team.
You'll be on
special effects now.
It has to be me?
I already told Eri
that I'd be dancing.
They wanna make it so Aoyama
swung around enough that
the whole room's lit up!
[IZUKU]
I'm pretty sure
everyone's gonna
be able to see him.
[ASHIDO] But we don't have
a fly system in the gym,
so they want someone
with a power Quirk
to move him by hand.
[AOYAMA] At the beginning
of the performance,
I shall transform from
a dancer into a disco ball.
It's the perfect job for moi .
Say you'll help us!
So, I'll be behind the scenes,
where people can't see me.
[KIRISHIMA]
Sorry! It'll waste
the dance practice you put in.
But can you please
help us out with this?
We don't want people
to lose interest.
We've got to come up with
something better, you guys.
When Aoyama turns
into a disco ball,
it'll only be
interesting to watch
for a minute or two. Right?
I don't think anyone
will even care
after the initial shock.
Wait, I know! What if
he flies around?
We can swing him over
the audience's heads!
[ALL gasp]
[KIRISHIMA]
Yeah, that's it!
[SERO]
Great idea, Koda!
[IZUKU]
If I can dance while doing it,
I won't have lied to Eri.
Even if it was an accident.
It's my duty to help how I can.
I'll do it.
Nice! I knew you wouldn't
let us down, man!
-- Merci, beaucoup!
--[STUDENTS chatter]
[IZUKU] We have practice
and meetings like this
after class every day.
I won't have much free time
until the festival is over.
And so, I try to train hard
when I get the chance.
[grunts]
It's still hard for you
to sh**t consecutively
or while moving around.
That'll be a nasty bruise.
Here, you can ice it with this.
[IZUKU] Thanks. I'm trying to
exercise so much more control
than I've had to in the past.
Is there a trick
to it or something
that I might be missing?
No idea.
[IZUKU]
Mm...
To be honest, I was able
to use percent
of One For All
pretty much right away.
I can only reiterate the advice
I gave you in the beginning.
To create an image in your head.
The egg, remember?
Keep working and
focus on how it feels
when you're successful.
I think all you can do
is repeat those ste--
You haven't done
that in a while!
[IZUKU] Even though we both
started out Quirkless,
there's a huge
difference between us.
All Might really is
a natural-born hero,
through and through.
There's no doubt about it.
[HATSUME]
Whoopsie! But nice catch!
Hatsume? What're--?
Sorry, I sometimes test...
[IZUKU]
Wait, isn't this bad?
To be seen out here with him?
[ALL MIGHT]
Don't worry about it.
Thanks for snagging it!
This sweetie's a mini
third eye I'm working on.
[IZUKU] And, she's not
interested in me at all.
[HATSUME]
Oh, yeah! Midoriya!
About that new item you
asked me for the other day.
I had a baby that could
do something similar,
so I'm rejiggering it right now.
Once the application
goes through,
I'll get it to you right away!
Hold on.
I thought you needed to wait
until after the school festiva--
Please, every artist tinkers
when they're on a break.
And since I've got a base
already, it'll be done soon!
Oh, wow. Thanks.
You're the greatest!
Huh? Where are
you going, baby?
Wait for Mama!
A new item, huh?
[IZUKU] Yup. There's something
I think could help
harness this wind pressure move.
[ALL MIGHT]
Ah, I see.
I tried something like
that in the past, too.
[IZUKU] All Might,
you used a support item?
How did I not know that?
Well, yeah.
But it was too bulky
to be functional,
even though it was
designed to use
with only to
percent of my power.
It would've been
fine if I used
mid- to long-range att*cks
for the most part,
but since I was more of
a short-range brawler,
I kept breaking it.
I got rid of the
tech and carried on
with nothing but
my own strapping body!
Haven't seen that
form in a while.
[hacks] That said,
reinforcing your power
with new gear could be smart.
Just make sure you don't
rely on it too much.
Some people aren't
able to hold their own
after losing an item.
I've seen way too many heroes
fall into that trap.
Right.
Now then.
Let's get back to
that visualization.
[IZUKU] Aw. This feels
just like old times!
[KATSUKI]
You're rushing, bastard!
Follow my tempo!
But you keep throwing
in new breakdowns--
it's so confusing.
[YAOYOROZU] Jiro, it's almost
like you were born to teach.
For a beginner like Kaminari
to be able to learn
chord progressions in
just a week is impressive.
It's okay, I guess.
Anyway, today's tea
smells really good!
I'm glad you noticed!
Mother sent me this rare type
that can be impossible to find.
It's a tea called
Gold Tips Imperial.
Oh! Everyone, please
enjoy a cup if you'd like.
[HAGAKURE] No idea what
that is, but thanks!
[ASHIDO] No idea what that is,
but it sounds boujie!
[IZUKU] All Might had an item,
All Might had an item,
All Might had an item.
I'm such a failure for
not knowing about it.
Hey, Deku, aren't
you going to try
some of Momo's yummy tea?
--[yelps]
--[IZUKU muttering]
[IZUKU gasps] sh**t!
I didn't mean to play that.
[GENTLE]
Gentle Video.
[GENTLE] Dearest viewers,
do you drink different types
of tea for different occasions?
Whenever I'm preparing
my personal kettle...
A video about tea?
Perfect! Here.
Oh, yeah, thanks.
This particular fine blend
is called Royal Flush.
Whatever could that
name imply, I wonder.
[LA BRAVA]
That your discriminating taste
sets you apart from
the rest of the world?
[GENTLE]
Be sure to stay tuned.
My next video is an alarm,
not just to my faithful viewers,
but to all of society.
Try to contain your
anticipation until then.
That was short.
It's Gentle.
[OCHACO]
Is he famous?
People don't seem
to like him very much.
[IZUKU]
I only kind of know who he is.
He's a villain who's
known for causing trouble
and recording it.
Oh.
It's kind of nuts that he's
been putting out videos
for years now but
hasn't been caught yet.
I wonder what
he's planning next.
[GENTLE]
Ugh.
Poor Gentle.
You've been working so hard
that you've skipped
tea breaks for a week.
Are you all right?
Yes.
La Brava.
Recently, heroes have begun
to fall out of favor
with the public.
Their feckless actions
have bred distrust
from the masses. It's obvious
these so-called do-gooders
are ill-prepared
for complications.
They don't seem to comprehend
the crisis they're in. If they
did, they wouldn't dream
of putting on a school festival
in these most
harrowing of times.
Yeah, but, Gentle,
I don't know how I feel
about involving these
innocent children
in all of this, you know?
[laughs] My dear,
this scheme of mine
is merely a wake-up call.
Following my
masterful incursion,
the future heroes will be
encouraged to grow stronger!
Your plan is going to
inspire youthful minds?
You're so cool, Gentle!
Now, let us go over the
route we'll take to inv*de.
Open the Criminal Folder!
[GENTLE]
It won't open.
Oh, sorry, I locked
it for protection.
Just right-click there.
[click]
[GENTLE]
This path has the fewest number
of hero agencies
and the least traffic.
At five o'clock the morning of,
we will make for
a side road here.
[LA BRAVA] Why not just
use your Quirk instead?
It would be unwise
given there are heroes
who patrol the skies.
After a jaunt, we'll stroll
through a lovely park.
Once we're on the other side,
we'll almost be there.
If we move carefully
to avoid drawing attention,
it should take us to
minutes at the most.
And then...! I'm
delighted by this part.
See this old house
standing in the shadow
of a hardware store.
[LA BRAVA]
Yes.
[GENTLE]
It's actually a charming café!
[LA BRAVA]
You're not going to have
your tea outside,
as usual? That's risky!
The owner is passing
and barely managing
to keep his business open.
It's a shame.
No one notices that it's
anything more than an old home,
and there are only
five or six regulars.
But, La Brava,
there is no question.
I must drink there.
Because this cafe carries
the most lauded of tea leaves.
The elusive Gold Tips Imperial!
Don't you think it's fitting
for the grand caper
we're about to pull off?
Of course!
And because of the
owner's advanced age,
it opens early, at AM.
We can enjoy
-minutes of teatime
if we get there
when the doors open.
This is way more research
than you usually do.
[GENTLE] After that,
we go back to the side street
and past the construction
site where we'll find
a slightly sloping mountain
surrounded by forest.
Once we climb that,
we will arrive at UA.
Most likely, we'll have
to deal with Hound Dog,
who excels at
sniffing out intruders.
Once we get to the forest,
we must rub dirt
and leaves over our
bodies to hide our scent
from the mongrel.
And as for the school.
There is a sensored security
system called the UA Barrier
that's nigh
impenetrable and covers
the entirety of the campus.
And that's where my job
comes in, right, Gentle?
I'll infiltrate UA's
internal network
and secretly disable the
sensors! Because, not to brag,
but I'm a highly
skilled master hacker!
I truly have the most
wonderful partner imaginable.
My dear, I am forever grateful
to have you at my side.
[LA BRAVA]
Oh, stop, Gentle!
Anything you need!
You know I love you!
La Brava. I do mean it.
When I first began...
...I learned how
to upload my videos.
But technology oft eludes me.
Alas, there were few views,
and the rare comments
I did get were harsh.
It's only received views!
And it's already been
uploaded for over a month.
[doorbell rings]
[GENTLE]
That doorbell signaled the end
of my melancholy days.
[LA BRAVA]
I'm sorry. I...
I hacked into your account
to get your address.
I'm a fan.
I can help you carve
your name into history!
May I?
[GENTLE]
It was you! My first admirer.
To be honest,
I had my misgivings.
I was terrified that
I was being too careless.
But then... When we
began plotting, recording,
and editing as one,
the views on my videos
began to increase!
La Brava!
I am betting my soul
and my prized moustache
on this audacious
festival scheme!
For the world, for society,
for my courageous dream,
and to honor the feelings
you have for me.
Gentle!
[GENTLE]
My La Brava!
Oh! I love you,
my Gentle Criminal!
I love you, too,
my darling girl!
I'll make certain
nothing stops me.
[GENTLE]
No matter what. We will succeed.
[IZUKU]
Here's the preview!
It's finally time for the
UA school festival to start.
Early in the morning,
I have to go buy some
extra supplies for
our performance.
And while I'm out,
I have a fateful encounter
with an infamous character.
He said, "You'll
ruin the aftertaste
of the Gold Tips Imperial."
Next time: "Deku vs.
Gentle Criminal."
Stay away from UA.
I won't let you
ruin the festival!
Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
