08x09 - (Dub) Epilogue, The Hellish Todoroki Family: Final

[bunniefuu]

[MERYL]
We're expecting clear skies

across North America today.

Originally, I predicted
a stormy week ahead of us.

Allow me to apologize
for how wrong I was.

We talked about this, Meryl.

No more ad libs.

Although, I'd keep your
laundry off the clothesline.

The wind is still
pretty strong out there.

It started blowing
hard that day.

I wonder, what impact
will that wind have

on this battle weary world?

Let's take a closer
look at the forecast.

[theme music]

♪ ♪

[SALAAM]
Wait.

Here, I can take that from you.

Sure, be my guest.

Look, they're already
done with our building.

Wow, that's so cool.

[DEKU] A week has passed
since the w*r was won.

Reconstruction efforts that
had been stalled since Jaku

are now being completed
at incredible speeds.

Once the fighting ended,
lots of aid and resources

started pouring in
from overseas,

especially from
the United States.

After watching
the heroic battles,

we couldn't stand back
and do nothing, you hear?

We got these plans
from the Survey Bureau.

If you're good
to go, we can begin.

No problem.

See that?

Let's get to work.

Quirks sure make this easier.

Without them, reconstruction on
this scale would take a decade.

But with this many quirks
united by a common goal,

pretty soon.

Things will never
be back to normal.

We saw you fight,

so we knew the extent of
your injuries before operating.

This was the best
possible outcome

given the shape you were in.

We did all we could.

We were able to rejoin enough
bone segments in your arm

for you to keep it, but there's
no guarantee that rehab

will make it functional again.

If you really would like
to keep pursuing hero work,

you could rely
on a prosthesis like Mirko.

No, hard pass.

I need my hand.

It's how I use my quirk.

Katsuki.

[KATSUKI] Besides,
he didn't even have one.

I don't care how much
pain and t*rture rehab is.

Get me started now.

You'll train lightly until
the docs say otherwise.

That heart has got
to heal first, young man.

Were it not for Edgeshot's
expert stitching and CPR,

you'd be dead right now.

I have no idea how
you were able to keep

on fighting in such a state.

And it's insane
you manage to blast

yourself several kilometers
through the air afterwards.

Your life was saved
and you did your part.

Rest for now.

Doctor's orders.

[gentle music]

♪ ♪

[ALL MIGHT]
You awake?

Hey, All Might.

How did we end up
in the same room?

Tsukauchi had
a word with the staff.

I see.

There's a shortage of rooms,

and we're easier
to guard this way.

How are you doing?

Are you any better?

He told me they've never

put this many screws
in one person before.

And you?

I can feel my arms, a little.

I tried my hardest, but I
couldn't save Tenko's life,

even after I reached his heart

and shattered
the hatred inside.

He remained leader
of the League of Villains

until the end.

Speaking as someone who's
had a near death experience,

I think what matters is
the look he had on his face

when he finally passed.

[DEKU]
Yes, destroy you did.

Guess the rest is up
to you and your friends.

Good luck.

Do your damn best.

[ALL MIGHT] If that crying boy
wasn't anywhere to be found,

I think you actually
did save his soul

and accomplished One For All's
mission at the same time.

You transferred it, right?

I felt that.

Yes, I did.

But I can still feel an ember
of it smoldering within me.

How the hell are you
walking around, son?

Kacchan, I'm
so glad you're OK.

[MITSUKI]
Please forgive us, All Might.

I tried, but he demanded
to see that you were OK.

Apologies to you too, Izuku.

Huh?

[KATSUKI] Hey, did-- did you
just say there's only an ember?

You don't mean that--

no.

You're quirkless again.

Mm-hmm.

I'm back to the person I
was in the first place.

Not that I regret
it or anything.

For a little while, I got to
live out an incredible dream.

[KATSUKI] What did you
do to pass the exam?

You must have cheated
somehow, right?

Then I guess I'll just
have to be better than that.

I have to go higher than you.

Don't you dare
let me surpass you.

Izuku!

[sobbing]

What?

No.

You--

this kid.

I mean, crap.

What the hell did I do to you?

I guess I thought it'd be like
before, we keep competing,

chasing after each
other our whole lives.

You've gotta cut that out.

It isn't like you,
and I've got the ember.

I bet you're just emotional
because you got banged up.

The two of you continue
to grow stronger together.

You've changed so much
since I first met you.

Young Midoriya, the day
you took off running,

you were already
a great hero in my eyes.

But now you inspire
everyone to action.

You're a great hero
to the entire world.

And without you, I wouldn't
be alive to say any of this.

Young Bakugo, you're
an amazing hero, too.

Thank you both.

I mean that.

♪ ♪

[DEKU] When I was
a kid, I kind of

figured that everyone
would live in harmony

if there was no fighting.

But no, our story can't
come to an end yet.

Not until we chart a bright
future for this world,

one defined by peace.

We have to go beyond.

GRADUATION CEREMONY

[DEKU] In June,
there was a long overdue

graduation ceremony held
for the upperclassmen at UA.

[NEZU]
Congratulations,

you fought hard and
displayed true bravery.

So long UA.

[STUDENTS]
We love you, Nejire!

[ANNOUNCER]
Sorry graduation had

to come so late that the cherry
blossoms are all gone.

At least you get
a bumping sendoff

courtesy of UA's resident DJ.

Let's go!

NEW SECOND-YEARS
[FORMERLY FIRST-YEARS]

[STUDENTS]
This is graduation, not a rave.

I thought it would
be more formal.

This is a freaking party.

Nejire!

Your injuries still sore?

Mm-hmm.

But when I'm happy, it's
like they're not even there.

Weird, huh?

We can thank Mirio for that.

When things were looking bad
at the coffin in the sky,

he looked after us.

[DEKU] There was so much
work to do in Japan.

Someone had to oversee
requests and distribution

of foreign aid,
for example, and budget

for construction projects.

We needed more hospital
beds and treatment.

We may be
a superpowered society,

but the person fueling
this restoration

was a figure of global
influence, Principal Nezu.

A favor.

Push the BPM.

[DEKU] He spurred
other nations to action.

Our wise principal
had prepared for what

would come after the w*r.

[ANNOUNCER] Those were some
fire lyrics, don't you think?

Put your hands up
for Mawata Fuwa.

He's treating it
like a rap battle.

How cool?

Is it, though?

It seems like a little much.

Drop some bars.

[ANNOUNCER]
Mirio Togata!

First, thanks
to everyone for being here.

I know your lives are
totally busy right now,

so it means a lot to us
that you showed up.

[STUDENTS]
Where are the jokes?

We've lost so much recently
and didn't gain a thing.

The truth is,
a hero's job is usually

to move the needle
back to neutral

when things get super bad.

General studies, the support
course, the business course.

Each of you put the experience
you've gained here to use

and came together to fight
the good fight as one.

And yet, life hasn't
returned to a baseline.

Our three years here trained
us for what comes next.

Today is a celebration,
but not our finish line.

There is no shining future
in a world without humor.

We need a society where
everyone can laugh and smile.

That's the dream.

That's our ultimate goal.

Well said.

I know you're watching,
right, Nighteye?

Today is the day that
we finally get started.

So, current
and future students--

see ya!

[DEKU] Apparently this is
a UA graduation tradition.

Also.

[SHOTA] Normally, I wouldn't
be your homeroom teacher again,

but these aren't normal times.

Let's make it a good year.

[STUDENTS]
Amazing!

Amazing.

Mr. Aizawa, I'm so happy you.

So why cry?

Guess that's one
hurdle cleared.

Shouldn't you be
in the hospital?

Geez.

Nah, I just
gotta take it easy.

It would be weird if we
weren't all together today.

When did he
start making sense?

What?

Relax, Kacchan.

Quiet.

Come in.

[gasps]

I wanted to say adieu.

I'm leaving UA High.

Wait, seriously?

For real?

We were hoping you
would change your mind.

You're the reason we
were able to split up

All For One and his lackeys.

Mr. Aizawa and Mr. Tsukauchi
told me I was welcome to stay,

but I can't.

I want to take
responsibility for my life.

The reason I enrolled here is
because All For One told me to.

I don't deserve
a graduation like today's.

I'll atone for my crimes
and set out on the hero's path

once again.

I'm not sad because after all,
I got to take each one of you

by the hand.

And someday, I swear,

I'll proudly stand

This shouldn't be a gloomy day.

His control is even better

the school festival.

I've got one last

Behold, your new classmate!

Oh, crap,

Don't look.

Pardon!

Stop it!

business to cover.

[MAWATA]
For the time being,

second and third year
students in the hero course

will be helping out with
disaster zone reconstruction.

I'll be your representative,
your main point of contact.

In addition to the ongoing
restoration projects,

we'll be traveling the whole
country upholding public order.

All Might has retired,

and Japan is still reeling from
the battles that began at Jaku.

For every fight mentioned
in the history books,

there's a resulting period
of chaos that gets left out.

There's no longer a symbol.

If I'm not mistaken,
All For One came

to power in a time like this.

That work, old man?

Yeah.

- Old man?
- Oh.

Yeah, I was in this geezer's
class back in the day.

You never had the pleasure
of getting expelled, right?

I'm jealous.

We were such a spoiled bunch.

He kept saying he wanted
us to face our deaths.

Scary times.

That's quite enough, Fuwa.

You may go.

Yes, sir.

Of course,
thanks to his teaching,

we truly know what it
means to be heroes.

Bye.

You're welcome.

[DENKI] Can't believe
there are new first years.

As of tomorrow,
we'll be the upperclassmen.

We never get
a chance to rest.

It sounds like
our schedules will be packed.

Hey, why don't you
give another big speech?

Sero, why would you
bring that up right now?

Have some tact.

Guys, come on.

I like that speech.

Uraraka.

You too, Deku?

By the way, did the doctors
give you that haircut?

I hope it grows out
again real soon.

He's not the only one
who's got a new style.

My feathers are still ruffled.

I see that.

I think it looks great.

Midoriya.

Will you make it to the
farewell party if you're free?

Yeah, I think
I'll be able to.

I'm only busy today.

I'm heading this direction.

Todoroki.

I'm going to be fine.

Right.

I told you you didn't
have to come, Natsu.

The same goes for you,
but you're here.

Come on, don't fight.

I know, Mom, but still.

You're welcome
to sit this out, too.

I'm not here out
of a sense of obligation.

I doubt any of us are.

He's able to talk, but only
for a few minutes each day.

He's on a slow
march towards death.

It's all that awaits
Toya Todoroki.

[TOYA]
What a crowd.

Am I a tourist attraction?

Toya.

[coughing]

We've come to talk
about the future.

Toya, I'm retiring
from hero work.

That's what I always intended
to do once this w*r was over.

Besides, I can't even
stand on my own anymore.

Your flames were stronger
than any I ever faced.

And the hero Endeavor
was incinerated.

My condolences.

It's a little late to flatter
me, though, coward.

You're right.

No surprise, given
how well you know me.

You watched me
through the years.

That entire time, you
wanted me to see you.

But my eyes weren't open then.

The fire burning inside
of you is my hell flame,

despite what anyone thinks.

I watched that video you
put out each morning.

You see that, Dad?

Look at me!

overdue, but let's talk.
