07x00 - E1 - (Dub) Memories: Izuku Midoriya: Resolve

[bunniefuu]

The end is approaching.

This battle has been
raging for far too long.

[BANJO]
One For All must prevail.

[NANA] We can't allow
All For One to win.

Right.

[ST WIELDER]
Big Brother.

[ALL FOR ONE]
Why do you resist me?

Stand at my side.

Dear, foolish little brother.

[ST WIELDER] Because what
you're doing is wrong.

I refuse to stand by and watch

as you corrupt
everything around us!

[ALL FOR ONE]
What a callous thing to say.

I'm trying to
compromise with you.

The world is falling
apart right now.

It's in utter chaos,
but Meta powers

shouldn't be used
to further self-interest.

You're only thinking about

how you can fulfill
your own desires!

What kind of order is it

if you're taking
advantage of people?

Do you even remember how many
innocents you've toyed with

before you abandoned them?!

Ah. Do try to be careful.

My little brother has
a weak constitution.

Poor thing, born without
any meta abilities.

[ALL FOR ONE] You're a pitiful
hypocrite, but I still love you.

I hope you know that.

You are my only family.

[ALL FOR ONE]
You've stopped eating again.

You're disintegrating
into nothing.

[ST WIELDER coughing]
Brother.

I refuse to become the man
you want me to be.

But you should
have been there.

You should have seen them fall.

All of them.

They let their powers
go to waste.

Formed factions.

Rose against me.

That's why they
had to be k*lled.

But it wasn't by my hand
that they lost their lives.

It was a few of my adoring
friends that took care of them.

Just as I expected.

It's like the world from
the comic we read together

back when we were young.

Except you gave up and only
read through volume three.

You missed the end.

The demon king ruled
that fictional land,

but a hero of justice
struggled against him

despite the horrible odds
and saved the world.

Don't you know?

The villain always
loses in the end.

[grunts]

[ALL FOR ONE]
Dreams have become reality.

And reality doesn't
follow stock plots.

I believe it's time you
finally bend to my cause.

I'll rewrite your story as well.

Because, you are
dear to me, brother.

Let me go!

I've found a meta
power for you.

Even your pathetic body
can utilize it.

You will join me.

Please, brother!

[ST WIELDER]
You're the ninth wielder, right?

[IZUKU gasps]

I'm sorry. I wanted
to show you more,

but you're barely using


Be careful.

We're long past
the singularity point.

[ST WIELDER]
Don't be afraid.

You are not alone.

We'll be here, standing by
your side as your fight.

I'm sure that One For All's
final successor

is you, Izuku Midoriya.

[ALL MIGHT]
Young Midoriya.

[ALL MIGHT]
Listen well, young man.

This is your choice.

Do you want to accept
my awesome power or not?

The ability I possess
is like a sacred torch

that was passed on
to me by another hero.

I can transfer my
Quirk to someone else.

And that's just one facet
of my secret abilities.

The true name of my
power is One For All.

One For All.

Yes.

[ALL MIGHT]
One person improves the power

then hands it off
to another person.

It continues to grow
as it's passed along.

It is this cultivated power
that allows me to save

those who are in need of a hero.

The truth behind my strength.

[IZUKU]
All Might.

I know I'm not alone.

I swear I'll draw out
One For All's full potential.

And then...

[SHIGARAKI]
I'll k*ll you, dammit.

You will suffer. All of you!

As long as there's
a single person alive

who remembers
All Might's face,

I won't be able to rest.

Well, you know what, All Might?

That pisses me off.

Why do people get to decide that
some violent acts are heroic

and others are villainous?

Casting judgment as to what's
"good" and what's "evil."

You think you're
the Symbol of Peace?

Hah. You're just another

government-sponsored
instrument of violence.

And violence always
breeds more violence.

I'll make sure the world
understands that

once you're dead.

Now for a lesson.

You may have heard
these words before,

but I'll teach you what
they really mean.

Go beyond! Plus Ultra!

[SHIGARAKI]
All Might!

[STAIN] You must be the ones
who attacked UA.

And you want to recruit me

to build up your
little group again.

And what's your mission?

[SHIGARAKI]
For now?

I really just wanna
k*ll All Might.

I like to destroy anything
that pisses me off.

Like this little brat here.

Game over.

It turns out you're
the type of person

I hate most in this world.

[SHIGARAKI]
Huh?

[STAIN]
What meaning is there to k*lling

if you don't have
real convictions?

You won't accomplish anything

if you don't have
conviction and desire.

Without those, you'll always
be an aimless weakling,

achieving nothing.

That's how you got here.

The word "hero" has lost
all meaning in this society.

The world is overrun by
fakes and criminals like you

who chase petty dreams.

They must all be purged.

[SHIGARAKI]
What do you think you're doing?

If you touch this palm...

[SHIGARAKI]
...I'll k*ll you.

You sure talk a lot,
"Hero k*ller."

Conviction?

Maybe I don't have anything
as loaded as that.

If I had to choose
a desire, though...

Yeah, it'd be k*lling All Might.

One For All was derived
from another odd Quirk,

a power that's very old.

The name of that Quirk
is "All For One."

It allowed its user to take
Quirks from others.

Then the user could keep
the Quirks for himself

or give them to someone else.

A man named All For One
stole Quirks from others,

then used that power
to spread his influence

across the country.

In the blink of
an eye, he became

the leader of villains
and ruled over Japan.

This evil man had a
Quirkless younger brother.

He was small and sickly, but he
had a strong sense of justice.

It pained the brother
to see All For One's deeds,

so he kept resisting him.

And then, All For One
transferred a Quirk

to his sibling, one that would
allow him to stockpile power.

Yes. Even though everyone
thought he was Quirkless,

turns out the brother
did have a Quirk.

Though even he hadn't
realized this to be the case.

He had a useless power that only
allowed him to pass on Quirks.

And so, the stockpiling ability

merged with the younger
brother's power.

And that is how
One For All came to be.

I've always found it
ironic that justice

so often spawns from evil.

[SHIGARAKI]
The Hero k*ller's the one

really pissing me off right now.

The attack on UA.

The Nomus I released on Hosu.

He upstaged all of it.

No one's even giving me
a second thought.

Why is that?

What do you think the
difference is between us?

[IZUKU]
Your goals.

And your villains.

I don't agree with
anything you do.

I don't agree with
the Hero k*ller either.

But I can understand him.

At least sort of.

Because the Hero k*ller and I
have something in common.

We're inspired by All Might.

He's a maniac.

But he doesn't destroy things
just because it sounds fun.

He held true to his beliefs.

That's the difference.

[IZUKU gasps]

[SHIGARAKI sighs] That's like
a weight off my chest.

I see it now.

Why he makes me so angry.

Why you irritate me so much.

Everything makes sense.

It's him.

The problem is All Might.

[SHIGARAKI] What was I
worrying about so much?

It's simple.

He's why these morons are
able to smile thoughtlessly!

They feel so safe
because that garbage pro

is smiling thoughtlessly, too,
as if there's no one

in the whole world
he can't save.

You know, it's really
ironic, Hero k*ller.

I'm your opposite,
but you let me live.

And now your ideals
and convictions

will become a
stepping stone for me.

[OCHACO]
Uh, Deku?

Is this a friend of yours?

Or no, wait a minute.

Oh, you're here with someone?

I didn't know. Sorry about that.

If you try following me,
I'll get angry.

[SHIGARAKI]
I had convictions and ideals

from the beginning, Hero k*ller.

I just didn't know.

To create a world
without All Might.

And to prove how fragile

society's sense of
safety really is.

That's what drives me.

From this day forward,
I will call it my conviction.

There is only one man
I'll let k*ll me.

The true hero among you fakes.

All Might is worthy!

[SHIGARAKI]
Everything is All Might's fault.

[ALL MIGHT] The younger
brother decided to entrust

this new Quirk to
future generations.

Even though he couldn't
defeat All For One,

he hoped One For All would
continue to grow in power,

until it was strong enough
to stop his older brother.

Eventually it was my turn,

and I managed to
defeat All For One!

At least,
that's what I thought.

But he survived
and is now back in action

as the brain behind
the League of Villains.

[ALL MIGHT]
So, now you know.

The entire purpose of One For
All is to defeat All For One.

As its holder, you may
one day have to fight

against this great
evil yourself.

[SHIGARAKI] They feel so safe
because that garbage pro

is smiling thoughtlessly, too,
as if there's no one

in the whole world
he can't save.

[IZUKU]
Um. All Might.

Yeah, what is it?

Do you ever have times
when you can't save

all the people
that you want to?

Yes, I do. And often.

Someone could be
injured and calling out

for my help anywhere
in the world right now,

and I would never know about it.

I know it's frustrating,
but we're only human.

There will always be
people beyond our reach

that we can't protect.

But that's all the more reason
to stand tall and smile.

So that the "Symbol of
Justice" is always there.

Even when I can't be.

A flicker in people's hearts,

whether they be
a hero or a villain.

[IZUKU] Whatever happens,
I can't forget who I am.

I have to remember where
I come from, my origin.

I know the kind of hero
I want to be.

One who smiles while
saving those in trouble.

I promise everything
will be okay.

I'm going to save you, Kota.

[MUSCULAR] You really think
you can save this little brat?

That does sound like something
a wannabe hero would say.

Your kind sure likes
to mouth off about justice.

[MUSCULAR]
The name's Midoriya, right?

Perfect.

We were told we could take
some initiative and k*ll you.

But first, a little torment.

Show me your blood.

[grunts]

[MUSCULAR cackles]
Yes!

Blood is exactly
what I wanted from you.

What'd you promise?

That everything would be okay?

[IZUKU] I have to focus on
the enemy in front of me!

Smash!

[MUSCULAR]
What? Is that all you've got?

You're fast but you're not
strong enough to hurt me.

[MUSCULAR] My Quirk increases
my speed and strength

so exponentially that
my muscle fibers

can't even be
contained by my skin.

I know I'm bragging a bit.
But I mean, c'mon.

I guess what I'm
trying to say is...

...you're just an
inferior version of me!

[MUSCULAR] I can't help
but laugh at you, kid.

You really think you're
a hero, don't you?

[IZUKU yelps]

[MUSCULAR] How are you
gonna save him, huh?

Don't make promises
you can't keep.

Live up to your words or
they don't mean anything.

You're no hero,
you're just a fraud

and you'll die that way!

Remember Water Hose?
My mom and my dad.

Did you torment
the two of them, too?

Before you k*lled them?

I k*lled your parents 'cause
I wanted to hurt someone.

And those two tried to stop me.

What happened was the result
of all of us doing our best.

The real travesty is
promising to do something

you aren't able to do.

That's why your dear old
mommy and daddy died.

[KOTA yelps]

Nice try with the sneak
attack, but I'm ready!

You ruined his life and
you won't take the blame?

You gonna punch me with that
puny Quirk of yours again?

It's not a matter of
whether or not I can do it.

[gasps]

[IZUKU] A hero's job
is to risk his life

to turn his promises
into a reality!

[MUSCULAR]
What?

[IZUKU]
One For All, percent!

[MUSCULAR] Wait. There's
something different about him.

[IZUKU]
Smash!

[IZUKU]
No way. It can't be.

I was at percent!

The same as All Might's power!

[groans]

Heh. A bit too obvious.

But hey. Not too bad, Midoriya.

No. Stay away!

[MUSCULAR]
Nah, attacking sounds more fun.

[IZUKU]
It's no good.

What am I supposed to do now?

I need more time to think.

[MUSCULAR] Remember what
I told you earlier?

We've just been playing
around, having fun.

Until now.

Now, I'm serious!

Recess is over.

I'm coming at you for real.

'Cause truth be told,
you're pretty strong.

I see that now.

Quick. Grab on!

Hurry!

[IZUKU] It's like his Quirk
has been supercharged.

It's completely insane.

He really was just
playing around,

toying with me
before he k*lled me.

[IZUKU grunts]

[yelps]

[MUSCULAR]
Aw, damn. I got too excited.

[KOTA, IZUKU grunt]

[IZUKU] I have no choice but
to fight him right here.

Right now! I have to remember

where I started,
how far I've come.

I'll stand my ground.

And I'll make sure Kota is safe!

[IZUKU] Run back to camp
as fast as you can!

You're attacking him again?

You can't do that!

Let's just go! Come on!

Your punch didn't hurt
him earlier, remember?

Besides, both your
arms are busted up.

[IZUKU]
It's going to be fine.

[IZUKU]
One For All, percent!

I'm coming for you!

[IZUKU]
Detroit Smash!

[MUSCULAR]
Aw. What's wrong?

That was even
weaker than before!

Okay. It'll all be okay.

I will not let him get past me!

Kota. Run!

Go now!

Still looking after him.

Oh, man. You're something
else, aren't you?

[IZUKU]
Shut up, dammit!

But, why?

[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]
Kota?

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!

[KOTA]
Why?

[MANDALAY]
Kota.

Your mom and dad,
the Water Hose heroes.

It's true that they ended up

leaving you behind
in this world.

But they saved so many lives
through their sacrifice;

you'll see that someday.

Why did you risk your life?

[MANDALAY]
You'll meet someone.

And then you'll understand
why we do this.

Even though you
don't know me at all.

Why did you try to save me?

Someone who will
risk their life.

Someone who will be...

[KOTA]
...a hero.

[KOTA]
My hero.

[ALL MIGHT]
Here's the preview.

I've entrusted One For All
to Young Midoriya.

But I still have a
sacred duty as a hero.

One For All may be
fading within me,

but the fire that keeps me
alive and fighting rages on.

My Hero Academia: Memories.

Next time:

"Toshinori Yagi: Embers."

I'll say this once.

I am here!

Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
