text: Several days prior to the w*r

Jeanist: We have to strike at Shigaraki at the Coffin in the Sky.

Jeanist: On the U.A. campus.

text: Team Stop Tomura Shigaraki

Jeanist: If he reaches the ground,our plan unravels at the seams.

Katsuki: Forever with the jeans talk.

Amajiki: Because, like back at Jaku, we'd be at an overwhelming disadvantage on the ground?

Amajiki: I keep hearing about that.

Jeanist: No, it's a matter of unified purpose.

Jeanist: As in, what are we protecting?

Hado: We're thoroughly evacuating that whole area.

Hado: You mean we'll be protecting buildings?

Edge Shot: We're past the point of worrying about damage to structures.

Edge Shot: That was true the moment we picked Kamino Ward for Dabi's battle.

Edge Shot: Our top priority will be safeguarding peoples' lives and the future.

Mirko: Enough with the intro!

Jeanist: The problem is the chaos in Shigaraki's personality.

Jeanist: It'd be better if he stuck to the All For One persona

Jeanist: because a ruler must have subjects in order to rule.

Katsuki: If he's the Shigaraki persona,he'll be that much more destructive.

Jeanist: That's right. Now that Shigaraki's power and hatred are brewing,

Jeanist: there's a chance his thirst for destruction may be directed at the Earth itself.

Jeanist: We have to consider what happens after we win this battle.

Jeanist: Even if we stand our ground and overcome this,

Jeanist: we still must have a foundation on which to rebuild.

Jeanist: What we're going to protect is...

Inko: Izuku...

Shigaraki: I aim my Decay at the depths, not at the surface.

Shigaraki: That way, a part of Shizuoka is gone in a mere moment.

Shigaraki: This country is about , square kilometers in area.

Shigaraki: At this point, I could sink that beneath the waves in a week's time.

Shigaraki: That's what it would mean to destroy everything,leaving no hope of recovery!

Izuku: If I use Gearshift, Fa Jin,and Danger Sense at the same time,

Izuku: then unlike earlier,I can go on the offensive!

Izuku: I have to hurry and find some clue to stopping him!

Shigaraki: Master is dead.

Shigaraki: Hell, all because I didn't break that one completely.

Shigaraki: But you know, I'm grateful in a way.

Shigaraki: He made me stronger!

Shigaraki: Enough that I can get used to this guy's speed!

Shigaraki: You were still quick enough to hack off my fingers.

Shigaraki: But...

Banjo (Fifth): Kid, Shinomori's been...

Banjo (Fifth): Danger Sense has been...

Shigaraki: How long... can you last?

TITLE: History's Greatest Villain

text: About a dozen seconds ago

Banjo (Fifth): But things keep getting worse, bit by bit!

Banjo (Fifth): Every time he's attacked, he regenerates.

Banjo (Fifth): We've got to find a way to break through that wall!

Kudo (Second): Shinomori?!

Shinomori (Fourth): Look after Ninth!

Banjo (Fifth): Kid, Shinomori's been...

Banjo (Fifth): Danger Sense has been stolen!

Shigaraki: The power that's been repeatedly inherited.

Shigaraki: The power that gave Master so much trouble.

Shigaraki: Well, I'm not obsessed with it,

Shigaraki: but I'll take it if it lets me break you.

En (Sixth): Shinomori's chair!

En (Sixth): It all happened so abruptly!

Banjo (Fifth): He forced his way right in here.

Banjo (Fifth): Just like that, he surpassed our combined will!

Izuku: Blackwhip.

Izuku: Fa Jin, plus...

Izuku: Gearshift.

Izuku: Blackchain!

Shigaraki: Wow, no wonder you lasted so long against me!

Izuku: He's using Danger Sense against me!

Shigaraki: You're my biggest obstacle.

Shigaraki: I'll destroy you first!

Shigaraki: Are you still treating me like I'm human?!

Shigaraki: "I won't pretend that I didn't see you crying"?

Shigaraki: Is that still where your head's at, Midoriya?!

Shigaraki: Take a good look!

Shigaraki: I'm no longer there!

Izuku: If I wrap Blackwhip around me multiple times and focus on defense,

Izuku: I can still avoid fatal wounds.

Izuku: The mask All Might brought back to me.

Bruce (Third): You only just started wearing it, so you could keep breathing in those surging waves.

Bruce (Third): And look where you are now.

Izuku: Mt. Fuji.

Izuku: It's so close.

Bruce (Third): Gearshift could run out at any time.

Bruce (Third): All you had taken from you was a Quirk.

Bruce (Third): Looks like it didn't affect your physical boost.

Bruce (Third): Your strength itself is stockpiledby One For All, not the individual factors.

Bruce (Third): You'll just have to endure until you recover.

En (Sixth): With that little strength,

En (Sixth): isn't he better off running for it while he can?

Banjo (Fifth): En?!

En (Sixth): Back there, we were spared because we had Danger Sense.

En (Sixth): If Ninth gets touched again, even for an instant...

En (Sixth): none of us may be able to escape next time!

En (Sixth): If we all get taken, it's over!

Shigaraki: I can see you, ghost.

Shigaraki: Were you discussing how to get away?

Shigaraki: You guys have escaped and gotten stronger before,

Shigaraki: so I'll destroy you on the spot.

Shigaraki: I'll also destroy anywhere you might run to.

Shigaraki: Because that horizon I'm going to make?

Shigaraki: Spinner was looking forward to seeing it.

Shigaraki: And after I break that thing...

Shigaraki: I'll sink it.

Banjo (Fifth): Kid!

Banjo (Fifth): This guy sent you here on purpose!

Banjo (Fifth): If Decay reaches the mountain, it's gonna erupt!

En (Sixth): Yoichi, that guy's no successor of All For One.

En (Sixth): He enjoys destroying things.

En (Sixth): He's the embodiment of ruin!

Izuku: It's still all connected somehow.

Izuku: Somewhere inside you!

Ochaco: I don't know what is common sense for her.

Shigaraki: Are you still treating me like I'm human?!

Izuku: You're a person.

Izuku: A person.

Izuku: Inside me...

Izuku: While I was immobilized,focusing everything on defense,

Izuku: I kept forcing my muscles to flex using Blackwhip.

Izuku: So I could store up strength to the limit,

Izuku: and use Fa Jin to release blasts of air!

Izuku: Delaware Smash!

Shigaraki: You're in top form, Midoriya!

Shigaraki: He blew away both me and enough of the ground to interrupt Decay.

Shigaraki: By removing the medium of transmission,

Shigaraki: he can infinitely weaken the advance of my Decay.

Shigaraki: But it's just a stopgap measure!

Shigaraki: I'll touch it again and again!

Shigaraki: The dust cloud isn't scattering.

Shigaraki: I get it!

Izuku: I applied Gearshift's Low Gear to Smokescreen.

Izuku: I'll make it accumulate.

Izuku: Obscure his field of vision, and deploy Blackwhip!

Izuku: Keep on setting off Shigaraki's Danger Sense!

Izuku: And while that's happening...

Izuku: I learned the risks of relying on Danger Sense while fighting Lady Nagant!

En (Sixth): You'd go this far just to store up power?

En (Sixth): But... Ninth.

En (Sixth): Shigaraki can locate you using Search!

Shigaraki: I'm not blind, you know.

Shigaraki: To your location or your weaknesses.

Shigaraki: You can't even catch your breath!

Banjo (Fifth): Gearshift has worn off! Recoil time!

Shigaraki: And you can't keep on randomly launching those stored-up attacks.

Shigaraki: You're reinforcing your tendons and muscles directly from within.

Shigaraki: It's written all over that stuff beneath your skin.

Shigaraki: A direct hit might have spelled trouble,even for me.

Shigaraki: It must be tough having so much to protect, Midoriya.

Izuku: That doesn't mean...

Izuku: I'm going to give up on that crying boy!

Shigaraki: People try to interpret the world based on their tiny, limited view of it.

Shigaraki: To make life easier, they make up reasons for the things they can't understand.

Shigaraki: You just want to pigeonhole me into your own narrow worldview.

Shigaraki: You can see, can't you?

Shigaraki: Just like I can see those ghosts.

Shigaraki: You see inside me, using One For All.

Shigaraki: That's why you were able to find me in this smoke.

Shigaraki: Look closely.

Shigaraki: I overcame that crying boy long ago.

Shigaraki: He expanded his worldview as much as possible, and became me!

Shigaraki: And I've got nothing holding me back!

Izuku (young): I want to save that kid.

Nana (Seventh): Give it up.

Nana (Seventh): Some people are beyond saving, Izuku.

Nana (Seventh): This guy is the highest wall your hero philosophy could run up against.

Nana (Seventh): A wall you needn't climb over.

Nana (Seventh): You have to strike hard enough to destroy him without a trace!

Nana (Seventh): Grin and bear it, Izuku!

Nana (Seventh): Store up even more than before!

Izuku: No.

Izuku: If so, why did he hang on to that heartbreaking past in his heart?

Izuku: All he did was put a lid on it.

Izuku: "You pretended you couldn't see those you couldn't protect,

Izuku: and covered up those you hurt."

Izuku: Until that lid breaks... I won't stop punching!

Kudo (Second): That's why I was against it.

Kudo (Second): Are we now supposed to leave it to some crazy illusion

Kudo (Second): who says he wants to save our archenemy?

Kudo (Second): I found the idea to be arrogant—born of a naïve time of peace.

Kudo (Second): But I've watched from inside long enough to know.

Kudo (Second): That it's what this boy relies on.

Kudo (Second): That even loathsome people, even Quirkless people...

Kudo (Second): Deep down, they have a heart just like everyone else.

Kudo (Second): I want to believe that.

Kudo (Second): It just might be worth a shot.

Kudo (Second): Do what I'm about to tell you.

Kudo (Second): I'm going to take a gamble on you, Ninth.

Kudo (Second): Let go of One For All.

Banjo (Fifth): Second?!

En (Sixth): What do you...?!

Edge Shot: All Might.

Edge Shot: All Might!

Edge Shot: Fall asleep and you die! Stay conscious!

Edge Shot: Without comms, we don't know what's happening,

Edge Shot: but chances are Midoriya is still fighting.

All Might: A dream?

All Might: No, this feeling...

All Might: is the same as that time.

All Might: It's supposedly far away from me,

All Might: but I feel One For All.

All Might: Its will comes flowing to me.

All Might: That power we put together over time

All Might: is coming apart.

Shigaraki: What was that?

Shigaraki: Why did that cross my mind?

Shigaraki: I thought you were completely destroyed.

Star: As long as people help each other,

Star: someone who inherits the spirit of a hero...

Shigaraki: Destroyed, yet apparently still smoldering!

All Might: You can become a hero.

Izuku: What are you talking about?

Izuku: What do you mean, let go of One For All, Second?!

Kudo (Second): Keep your mind calm.

Kudo (Second): Or he'll hear you.

Kudo (Second): That dark lead-like clump inside Shigaraki?

Kudo (Second): That's all the little bits of anger,

Kudo (Second): discontent, and memory he had inside.

Kudo (Second): They were all pulled together, then amassed into one.

Kudo (Second): You could say, it's his determination itself.

Kudo (Second): His mind, hardened together by hatred.

Kudo (Second): But Yagi found an opening.

Kudo (Second): It's probably a wound left behind from his battle with Star and Stripe.

Kudo (Second): Even his regeneration Quirk can't fully heal it.

Kudo (Second): A wound to his mind, not his body.

Izuku: What does that have to do with One For All?

Kudo (Second): Shigaraki became too strong when he engulfed All For One.

Kudo (Second): If this contest of strength continues, there's no way we'll win.

Kudo (Second): That's why we'll attack from within.

Kudo (Second): Crash One For All into the wound by transferring it to him.

Kudo (Second): Pry open the wound, and strike his mind directly.

Izuku: "Transfer"? "Crash"?

En (Sixth): Wait! I'm not sure what you're saying!

En (Sixth): If it's handed to him,he'll just be able to use it!

En (Sixth): We'll just be at his disposal, like Shinomori!

Kudo (Second): Broaden your take on the word "transfer."

Kudo (Second): Don't you get it?

Kudo (Second): Let a visual do the talking?

Kudo (Second): Okay, then, here's something easy to understand.

Kudo (Second): How does that childhood friend of yours pass things to you?

Katsuki: Take this and die!

text: Unbelievable.

Kudo (Second): Depending on how one does it, someone might get hurt,

Kudo (Second): or the object itself might break.

Kudo (Second): That's what we'll do with One For All.

Kudo (Second): But, there's no guarantee.

Kudo (Second): So we'll test it with me first.

En (Sixth): Huh?

Kudo (Second): Earlier, Shinomori was the only one taken.

Kudo (Second): So, there must be some system for just a partial transfer.

Kudo (Second): We're Quirk factors that were taken into One For All.

Kudo (Second): We're each part of One For All.

Kudo (Second): And, we're special factors that were strengthened each time we were linked together.

Kudo (Second): If you hand me over with crushing force,

Kudo (Second): I'll be able to attack without giving him my power.

En (Sixth): You want to test it?

En (Sixth): Then use Smokescreen!

En (Sixth): I'm the least useful right now!

Kudo (Second): No, I'll go first.

En (Sixth): But Gearshift is pivotal to this fight!

En (Sixth): If this fails, Shigaraki will...

Kudo (Second): If Ninth can't move now, he's dead.

Kudo (Second): If he parts with me, he can also part with the recoil.

Kudo (Second): And on the off chance Shigaraki does use me,

Kudo (Second): it will put him straight into this same recoil state.

Bruce (Third): Leader, I've always followed your orders.

Bruce (Third): But this time the risk is too great.

Kudo (Second): That's why it's a gamble.

Kudo (Second): We lived through some harsh times.

Kudo (Second): We made a lot of coldhearted decisionsbecause we had to.

Kudo (Second): Nothing could be harsher than this current situation.

Kudo (Second): Even then, this boy's spirit refuses to break.

Kudo (Second): I want to believe he's in the right.

Izuku: You did all this for me, All Might...

Izuku: I'm too blessed...

Nana (Seventh): Even at this point, he's not covetous of his power, and he doesn't fear death.

Nana (Seventh): No matter how overwhelming a task he faces...

Nana (Seventh): Toshinori, even after all this time,

Nana (Seventh): to him, One For All is...

All Might: Take this to heart.

All Might: This is power that you earned because of your own effort.

Nana (Seventh): ...a treasure given to him by the hero he admires most.

Shigaraki: What's all the babbling about?

Kudo (Second): Banjo, stick as close to the kid as you can.

Kudo (Second): He can't afford to lose Blackwhip.

Kudo (Second): Take it from here.

Kudo (Second): That just leaves you.What'll it be, Izuku Midoriya?

Izuku: I'll do it.

Shigaraki: I will crush you all!

Shigaraki: Whoa, whoa.

Shigaraki: You don't...

Shigaraki: look very heroic now.

text: Preview

Izuku: Here's the preview.

Izuku: I transfer One For All to Shigaraki

Izuku: in order to strike his mind directly.

Izuku: That's the only means of winning we have left.

Izuku: Reach Shigaraki's memories, his past, and the depths of his consciousness.

Izuku: And then learn of his origin.

Izuku: Next time, "Wrench It Open, Izuku Midoriya!"

Izuku: The door before you is thick and heavy.

text: Next time: Wrench It Open, Izuku Midoriya!

Izuku: Go beyond!

Izuku: Plus Ultra!
