07x03 - (Dub) Villain

[bunniefuu]

[IZUKU] After hearing All
Might's request for aid,

America's number-one hero,
Star and Stripe,

made an urgent visit to Japan.

As soon as she arrived,

Tomura Shigaraki launched
a violent attack.

Star's Quirk, New Order,
allowed her to

change the rules of
the world around her.

It looked like she had the
advantage in their fight,

until Shigaraki managed to
touch the hero, k*lling her.

Star didn't go down
without a fight, though.

With the last embers
of her life,

she used New Order to deal
a serious blow to Shigaraki,

destroying a number
of his Quirks.

[ALL MIGHT]
Thanks to Star and Stripe,

he won't be on his feet
for at least a week.

This is her parting gift to us,
a strategic delay.

But in order for you
to protect yourselves

and those you want to protect
throughout the world, you need

to use this extension to become
as strong as you possibly can.

[SHIGARAKI groaning]

[screams]

[ALL FOR ONE]
Come now, Other Me.

There's no need to fret.

We'll endure.

Your Quirk Factors
are simply fatigued.

Out of sorts.

In time, you'll be able
to use your many powers again.

[SHIGARAKI]
I'll k*ll you, damn it.

You will suffer. All of you!

As long as there's
a single person on this Earth

who remembers All Might's face,

this hate within
me won't go away.

[ALL FOR ONE]
Our consciousnesses

are combining.

I can feel it.

His frenzied anger.

It's as though Tomura's pain
and resentment are my own.

What a gift.
What great progress.

We may not have taken
New Order, but the horizon

has been cleared of one
of our greatest obstacles.

Rest easy.

You mustn't dwell
on one failed plot

when there are so many in play.

Apologies.

I asked you to prepare for
action, but we must wait longer.

You gotta be kidding me.

I'm stuck here while
my old man flies free?

I can't take it anymore.

[ALL FOR ONE]
You know, Toya,

you and I are quite similar
except for one thing.

[DABI]
Huh?

Take this to heart.

A wise man such
as myself will pave

many different roads
to a single goal.

That's how I ensure success
against any odds.

To be more precise, I craft
alternative routes years,

sometimes decades in advance.

I begin by following the path
that best suits my needs

and timeline,
and if it's blocked,

I simply switch to another.

Understand?

I've mapped infinite routes.

My completed body will take
more time than expected,

and Izuku Midoriya
has unfortunately

returned to UA's fortress.

But that's fine.

Because unlike you, Toya,
I have many friends.

[KODA]
Fly, my birds!

You're too slow!

[TOKOYAMI]
Black Abyss!

Go harder!

[SATO growls]

[SHOJI]
Octoblow!

Twirling Tail Dance!

[ALL grunt]

Ready, Chargebolt?

This one's gonna sting!

ba*ls, ba*ls, ba*ls, ba*ls,
ba*ls, ba*ls, ba*ls, ba*ls!

Let's take it from the top!

Quick, Froppy!

Uravity!

Meteor...

[TSUYU
...Fafrotskies!

[IZUKU]
Blackwhip!

Come on!

[KATSUKI]
I got him.

[KATSUKI]
You're dead!

I stored up my power
and then fired.

Endeavor taught me that.

And I'm not talkin'
a single detonation.

My improved Cluster attack
comes from me flinging around

beads of sweat, then
exploding them together.

That upgrade's
just the beginning.

I'm leveling up all my moves,

which means I've gotta
start sweating a lot more.

[IZUKU] Oh. That's why you're
wearing your winter suit!

Overheating eats up
my stamina, though.

It's one or the other.

Everyone is improving.

There's definitely something
different about Todoroki.

I think I'm starting
to get the hang of this.

[TODOROKI] I can almost
regulate my left side

as well as control my right.

This body will
withstand Dabi's flames.

[coughs]

My fire and ice,
working in harmony.

[KAMINARI]
I know All Might said this'd be

a total w*r or whatever, but--

Huh?

The way I see it, the
two big bads are, like,

super vulnerable now.

Especially since
Gigantomachia's

taking a long prison nap.

I bet we can take All For One
and the League down easy

when we find them.

You forgot three
things, idiot.

[KAMINARI]
What? Wait, three? Really?

[KATSUKI] First, we probably
won't be able to find them.

Think about it.

We located the Nomu hangar,
Shigaraki's hideout,

and the research lab, sure.

But since All Might
defeated All For One,

we haven't been able to track
down the boss-man himself.

He's the best there is
at going underground.

Damn nut-sack face.

[JIRO]
Cursed mental image.

Our second problem.

We faced an incomplete
Shigaraki last time,

so his true power is
an unknown quantity.

And don't forget, we've lost
half our numbers since then.

At this point, we may
be no match for him.

Exactly. Third thing.

They're the ones
who get to decide

when and where we
face each other.

All For One stole
Ragdoll's "Search" ability,

so he can spot Quirks
from basically anywhere.

With any luck, New Order
ate that power up,

but we're still
at a disadvantage.

Now do you get
why we're tapping

every possible
hero and resource?

[KAMINARI whines]

This is why our
next move is vital.

I have to force Shigaraki out
into the open, and fast.

To do that, I need to hurry--

You do mean "we," don't you?

[IZUKU gasps]

[KIRISHIMA]
Seriously, Midoriya!

Of course.

By the way, I wanted
to get your opinion.

Is it cool for me
to walk around?

That should be fine now.

With Uraraka's speech fresh
on everyone's minds,

the hero course
students and evacuees

are getting along
fairly well.

It just isn't fair.

Seems like every time we
think we've got All For One

on the ropes,
he gets the last laugh.

[HAGAKURE] You've been mopey
ever since Gunga and Jaku.

I mean, we've all felt bad,
but you took things extra hard.

[WOMAN]
You have no choice, son.

He's given us explicit
new instructions.

The messages were in code.

Even if they were intercepted,

no one will realize they
were anything bad.

And out here, the
surveillance cameras

won't pick us up.
Don't be scared.

[HAGAKURE] I got worried,
because you stopped smiling.

You even looked sad when
Midoriya came back to us.

All For One's
out of prison now,

so things will go exactly
as he wants them to.

You know if you
don't follow orders,

he'll m*rder the three of us!

Please, Yuga!

You've done
everything he's asked.

Told him all the information
he wanted about UA.

Like when you told him
about the training camp.

No one knows that
leak came from you.

[HAGAKURE] The villains somehow
knew we'd be at the USJ.

It was the same when they
ambushed us in the woods,

even though that was supposed
to be a top-secret location.

Don't tell me...

We don't want to cause harm.

But at this point,
we're in too deep to stop.

My love, there's
no other option.

You have no choice!

Maman. Papa.

I don't want to do this.

[HAGAKURE]
It can't be true.

This whole time, behind
our backs, Aoyama was...

We've only ever wanted
what's best for you, son.

For you to be free
to live a happy life.

[AOYAMA'S MOTHER]
Hmm?

You want to be
like everyone else?

[AOYAMA]
Oui.

Maman, it's so scary
to be different.

I don't like it.

[AOYAMA'S MOTHER] When we
found out you were Quirkless,

we didn't want you to feel
excluded or "less than."

You deserved the chance
to follow your dreams!

We were trying to make
things better for you.

[AOYAMA'S FATHER] If we'd known
what was in store for us,

we wouldn't have sought
that devil out.

I swear it.

We never would have let
All For One give you a Quirk.

[AOYAMA'S MOTHER]
But it's too late.

We're All For One's pawns now.

We either do what he
asks of us, or we are dead.

[HAGAKURE]
I've gotta find a teacher.

Or anyone.

[AOYAMA]
It's been so hard.

I tried my best to hide
the truth, because if anyone

found out what I've done,
the guilt would crush me.

I forced myself to
put on a brave face.

Then, when All For One
was caught at Camino,

for a moment, I thought maybe
I would finally be free.

I could be like everyone else.

[AOYAMA'S MOTHER]
My sweet boy.

Please, forgive us.

You've suffered because
of our mistakes.

I want to make sure
both of you are safe.

I can't let him k*ll you!

Yuga.

In that case, you know
what you have to do, darling.

Help your parents!

[BOTH gasp]

[IZUKU]
I, uh, ran into Hagakure.

She said that the traitor is...

[AOYAMA'S MOTHER] What are you
talking about? How absurd!

The girl must've misheard us.

Of course it's you.
Midoriya, I...

[AOYAMA]
Back then, I was the only one

who couldn't say anything.

Everyone else in our class
called out to you,

tried to get you
to come back to UA.

I watched as they desperately
reached out to you.

But I stayed silent.

Aoyama. Let's talk.

[AOYAMA]
Stop it!

[AOYAMA]
His power is a Quirk

that was given to
him by All Might?

And All For One wants it?

[AOYAMA]
Since day one...

You're all amazing.

I just want to be
seen as your equal.

[AOYAMA]
...you were...

Listen! It's no accident
that I'm here.

I could tell you were upset.

You were the only one
who looked sad,

so I came looking for you.

[AOYAMA]
Yes.

Me. Alone.

[AOYAMA] The USJ
and the training camp?

[AOYAMA'S MOTHER]
Yuga, don't!

[AOYAMA]
I led them to us both times.

Midoriya. It's true.

I am a revolting villain.

[SHIGARAKI groaning]

[ALL FOR ONE] Because unlike
you, Toya, I have many friends.

[DABI]
A bunch of friends, huh?

Great. If these randos
you trust get caught,

we're screwed again.

[ALL FOR ONE]
Broaden your mind.

When a cheap lighter stops
working, it doesn't affect you.

You just throw it away.

If my friends succeed,
I'm happy.

If they fail, I sigh and say,
"Ah, well." Then I forget them,

and adjust my course,
and carry along with my day.

They're nothing more
than disposable tools.

If they let me have
a bit of fun, hurray.

But none of them are essential.

--[AOYAMA'S MOTHER] Yuga!
--[AOYAMA'S FATHER] Run!

Wait!

[AOYAMA]
Maman and Papa were so dismayed

when they discovered
I was born without a Quirk.

They both came from wealth.

As children,
they wanted for nothing.

Knew only love and happiness.

It's possible they were
more worried about me

being different than I was,
at least at first.

So when my future
looked uncertain,

they did something desperate.

There were rumors of a man
who could give people Quirks.

Eventually, they found him.

The Quirk I received wasn't
a good fit for my body, though.

It hurt.

My parents tried their best.

They went through so much
to give me a better life.

All because I was afraid
of being different.

My dream started
as a desire to conform.

But now, I want to do what
Maman and Papa did for me.

[ALL FOR ONE]
I've heard that All Might

is going to be a teacher at UA.

See that the boy enrolls there.

[AOYAMA]
To help others.

[ALL FOR ONE] I want to
know when your class

will be unsupervised.

[AOYAMA]
To bring joy to people's lives!

[ALL FOR ONE] Tell me more
about this training camp.

[AOYAMA]
And give back to the world!

[ALL FOR ONE]
If Izuku Midoriya returns to UA,

get him alone and lure
him out into the open.

[AOYAMA] When I read your
letter and found out

that you were born Quirkless,
that we were the same, I...

[gasps]

--I couldn't stand it!
--[IZUKU] Aoyama!

--I was filled with despair!
--Please don't do this!

[AOYAMA]
Navel...

[IZUKU]
One For All.

[AOYAMA]
...Laser!

[AOYAMA gasps]

[HAGAKURE]
My body refracts light.

Aoyama, we all could've died.

The entire country's
falling apart around us.

And you sat in class like
you weren't involved?

How could you sleep at night
in the same dorm as us?

How could you look
any of us in the eye?

Well? Explain yourself, Aoyama!

You don't get it.

He's not bad!

[IZUKU]
Aoyama. Hagakure's freed you.

Do you see that?

You don't have to
hurt anybody else.

It's over.

So stand down.

Stop fighting. Please.

We'll work this out.

[TSUKAUCHI]
Let's get this straight.

He must have received
the Quirk from All For One

about ten years ago.

Since that point, he and
his family have been forced

to act as pawns
against their will.

Physically, he seems fine.

At least, he wasn't
rigged to self-destruct

in the same way Nagant was.

[PRESENT MIC] At this point, we
can't deny it any more, can we?

There's a traitor
at this school.

I never thought
it would be a student.

[NEZU] I'm sorry,
but I must ask you kids

to give us the room.

[TODOROKI]
Like we'd walk away from this.

[KAMINARI]
It doesn't make any sense.

If Hagakure hadn't
stumbled on you today,

what would you have
done for him next?

I don't believe it.

Yeah, man! Say it isn't true!

Did he brainwash
you or something?

You must not've known
what you were doing.

Two hero course students
born Quirkless.

Who'd have thought?

We're still trying to
restore a state of order,

so it's imperative that
you start talking.

Tell us what you've learned
about All For One.

Don't leave a single detail out.

[AOYAMA'S FATHER]
We don't know anything useful.

That's the truth, I swear.

We did whatever we were told.

If we didn't, he would k*ll us.

If we lied to him,
he would k*ll us.

Our choice was life or death.

[TSUKAUCHI]
He threatened you?

It wasn't just a threat.

He showed us what happened

to those who didn't
follow his wishes.

Anybody who ran
to the police

was m*rder*d soon
after betraying him.

There wasn't a way out.

No matter where you go,
he will find you.

You will die.

It is an inevitable fact.

Our son never
knew the particulars

of what he planned to do.

All For One only told him to
lay low and avoid suspicion.

We're to blame, not Yuga.

[HAGAKURE] How could you sleep
at night in the same dorm as us?

My classmates.

All of you could have
died because of me.

And yet, I smiled and
laughed like we were friends.

Because I wanted us to be.

When I found out Midoriya
used to be Quirkless like me,

and that he knew he'd have to
stand against All For One...

...my heart ached at how
miserable my life was.

I was disgusted with myself,

but wallowed in my own misery
instead of worrying about him.

I'm rotten to the core.

There's no denying it.

If you want to know the truth,

it's that I am a villain
through and through.

I don't believe you!

Why did you try to save
Kacchan and Tokoyami

at the training camp, huh?

[gasps]

What about the message for me?

Is that something All For One
told you to do, too?

If we can't overcome the
things that bring us pain,

then you won't be able
to twinkle, mon ami!

Of course not!

That night was a
desperate cry for help.

And it totally went
over my head.

I mean...

[IZUKU]
...look at you.

You're bawling right now,
crying all over yourself.

But it's obviously
not because you failed

to do what All For One wanted.

I know a hero who didn't
give him everything, either.

He used her, but she
stayed true to herself.

To her heart.

The problem was,
he'd crushed her spirit.

Young Midoriya.

Making mistakes
or committing a crime

doesn't mean you have
to be a villain forever.

So, I want you to take my hand.

Right now.

[KATSUKI]
I see what you're doing.

Because I promise you,
you can still be a hero!

[TSUKAUCHI]
Not so fast, Midoriya.

Sansa, gag the kid.
We're taking him in.

Save the hand holding for later.

It's a tough situation.

But it doesn't erase the fact
that he helped All For One.

Besides, we're only
assuming he's safe

because he hasn't exploded.

We can't say for sure that
what happened to Nagant

won't happen to him.

We shouldn't let him
speak another word

until we can get him checked out
and cleared at Central Hospital.

[TSUKAUCHI] Mr. and Mrs.
Aoyama. One last thing.

Why didn't you tell All For One
we planned to attack Camino?

[AOYAMA'S FATHER]
We have no way

of reaching out
to him ourselves.

He is in control of that, too.

We have to wait for him
to get in touch with us.

And each time, the contact
information is different.

[TSUKAUCHI] So if you were ever
caught, you'd be useless to us.

Of course.

[IZUKU]
Detective.

We still have no idea
where All For One is.

But think. The
board has changed.

[gasps]

But we're still
at a disadvantage.

Now do you get
why we're tapping

every possible
hero and resource?

[gasps]

Our next move's vital.

Wait, hold up.

Do we now have a way of forcing
them to fight on our terms?

[ALL gasp]

He's right!

When you look at it that way,
he's given us the upper hand.

It's possible that Aoyama is
the only person in the world

with the power to
trick All For One!

Aoyama. I'll say it
one more time.

I promise you.

You, too, can be a hero!

[IZUKU]
Here's the preview.

This I know for sure.

Heroes don't have to give
All For One everything,

even when he's
manipulating them.

Light can still shine bright,

even in a heart held
c*ptive by darkness.

Though you may be knocked down,

the important thing is
that you stand back up.

Next time, "The Story of How
We All Became Heroes."

Aoyama. You're not alone,
and you must keep fighting.

Go beyond. Plus Ultra!
