02x11 - Balloon Soul

[bunniefuu]

An endless barrage of blasting punches!

Let's see which punch will bring you down!

Captain!

I told you.

This is nothing.

These attacks barely leave a scratch.

You could hit me a hundred more times
and I wouldn't feel a thing.

Captain!

Ah, is that…

The Sky Egg Limited Edition
Exclusive All Might Hoodie!

Ah, it's shaking again.

Is this really an earthquake?

Control Room, this is Ingenium.

What's going on with the Sky Egg?

Contact the Facilities Department!
- Boss, please pick up!

How is the audience doing?
- Should I go out and check?

Can you hear me?

Huh?

What's happening?

A blackout…

My phone won't turn on.

What?

Oh no, mine's dead too!

An EMP pulse to disable the electronics.

I wouldn't want anyone

to interfere with the Captain's fight.

This is the Sky Egg's structural diagram.

During a blackout or an earthquake,

the lifts should stop operating

and the emergency exits should open.

However, every electronic lock

is now stuck in a locked state.

In other words,
we're trapped in here, aren't we?

"Intentionally trapped here by someone."

Yeah.

This isn't just
a simple accident or a natural disaster.

It's a malicious "attack."

Wait a minute.
Doesn't that make this a t*rror1st attack?

Stay calm, Death Arms.

During times of crisis,

the heroes must calm the public.

We must keep a level head here.

Ms. Tsukauchi,
what's the status on Captain Celebrity?

I'm not sure.

I see.

Then let's assume the worst,
that he's currently out of commission.

We'll handle this
with the heroes present on-site.

Assess the situation inside and out,
and ensure the audience's safety.

Contact the people outside

and prepare to engage the villains.

Let's divide the tasks
based on our respective "Quirks."

Split up and move out.



We won't lose a single one.

We'll combine our strengths

to weave a safety net.

Do we have a plan, everyone?

Actually, I'm not a big fan
of group activities.

Everybody, listen to me!

The tremors and blackout

are all caused by

an earthquake!

We've received word
that a quake caused this.

Until we've secured the area,

please remain where you are!

Stay on please!

If you're feeling unwell,
please let me know!

The maintenance hatches at the top
can be unlocked manually.

But you can't
descend to the ground from there.

That's more than enough.

First, we head
for the maintenance hatches.

We'll send the flight Quirk group out.

They can provide support from the outside.

If we can't restore the power,

we'll need transport aircraft…

It's shaking again…

This is exactly
when we need C.C.'s strength.

Boss…

Whoops, sorry!

I almost nodded off there.

Because your punches
feel as light as a gentle breeze.

But you must be
reaching your limit soon, right?

You're making your own fists explode
with every single strike.

It's not like you can
actually regenerate forever.

Let's stop wasting each other's time.

I am on the clock right now.

Huh?

Fighting you isn't part of my job.

It's just a bit of fan service!

Argh…

You…

I'm the man
who uses the stuff from his hands

to protect this tower to the heavens!

The Crawler, Sky Egg Version!

Boy, what are you doing here?

Run for it!

Captain,

you're just there taking a beating.

No! I'm not taking a beating,
I don't feel a thing.

Ugh, stop acting tough already.
You're such a pain.

Anyway, as long as I use my projectiles

to hit his "Knuckle Bombs"
and make them detonate,

I can avoid taking a direct hit.

Rapid-fire Special!

The Crawler's

Shooty-Go.

Blam-Blam-Blam-Blam-Blam!

Hey, boy.

I've just realised
something very important.

Yeah? What's that?

This is just stalling for time.

It's just a messy fight.

This isn't actually solving anything.

Since the guy keeps regenerating, you see.

I don't mind a messy fight!

As long as we keep
blowing it up like this,

the heroes are bound
to show up sooner or later!

Even at a time like this,
you're still planning to rely on them?

"Do your best, then rely on the rest."

That's always been my style!

Oh, that's not very cool at all, is it?

But,

it looks like
that's the only option we've got.

I'm counting on you…

Boy!

Yes, sir!

When that guy throws
a punch at the Captain,

I'll blast him with my Shooty-Go-Blam.

I have to keep moving
in sync with the enemy

to protect the Captain.

Then I fire another Shooty-Go-Blam!

However, if I slip up
for even a second on my "Wall Cling"

I'm going to fall…

Hey boy, watch it!

Ah, thanks!

If you fall by accident,

there'll be no one left to defend me.

And if I get taken out,

there's no one to hold up the Sky Egg.

It would all be because of you slipped up.

Understood!

Please stop adding to the pressure!

Boy, do your best!

I've always been the star of the show.

Whenever I'm "flying" through the air,

everyone smiles and waves at me.

Doesn't matter if they're young or old.

Especially the ladies.

But…

Hey, miss! What's wrong?

You're looking all bored right there.

I can't just ignore that!

It's nothing.

I've always had this face.

All right.

But I know a type of magic
that can turn that frown into a smile.

Watch this!

Everyone says my flying
is more thrilling than a roller coaster!

If you're scared,
feel free to hold onto me and scream.

What?

Ah, wait! We're going to fall!

Okay, I'm putting you down now!

I'm sorry.

You didn't like that?

I hate pushy roller coasters.

And your goofy grin ticks me off.

That's the first time
anyone has ever said that to me.

I'm sure it is.

After all,
nobody loses their temper at a balloon.

A balloon?

Floating in the sky
without a care in the world,

you're totally empty on the inside.

Are you talking about me?

That's a bit harsh, isn't it?

Hi! Hello there!

I'm a balloon!

Gosh, I'm sorry about last time.

I just wanted you to be a little happier.

Are you still mad at me?

No.

Oh, good.

I thought you hated me.

You were glaring at me like that
when we first met, too.

Actually, it's not what you think.

I was just thinking

it might be nice to fly like that.

I see. Well then…

Not the "roller coaster" ever again.

Anyone who'd enjoy that

is either an idiot or a child.

Okay! Then we'll go with the "balloon"!

Balloon?

Why are you flying so low?

This is silly, too.

Your wish is my command!

The balloon tour is now taking off!

I don't want to be hated by anyone.

Especially by girls.

And back then,

I suppose I also had thoughts

of "taming the girl
with the bad attitude."

Only…

It seems I was the one who got tamed.

After that, I pursued you relentlessly.

I just wanted you to look my way

and show me a smile.

Chris.

You really are an insufferable fool.

But most of the people in this world

are beyond-redemption pieces of trash.

Sometimes, I feel that compared to them,

you're actually one of the good ones.

Only sometimes, though.

So, does that mean it's an "okay"?

Wait, Chris! Don't do that!

I'm going to get angry!

Honey, if you're scared,

feel free to hold onto me and scream!

You fool.

I was so happy.

"From now on, we can be together forever."

"I'll be able to see your smile
every single day."

That's what I was thinking at the time.

Honey?

But in the end,
I still spent every day making you mad.

And then,
my career started to go downhill.

The people I thought were my good friends

were just using my name

to go around swindling people.

I thought I was teaching them a lesson,

but the bad guys ended up suing me.

They made me out to be the villain.

Where did I go wrong?

Honey, what am I supposed to do?

Family matters, social issues…

they all seem a bit too difficult
for me to comprehend.

No matter how much I think about it,
I just don't get it.

Um, Captain?

What are you smiling at?

Ah, sorry.

I was just thinking about something.

The opponent is a vicious b*mber villain.

I've got 50,000 lives
resting on my shoulders.

It's a super simple,
easy-to-understand crisis.

Even someone as stupid as me
couldn't get this wrong, right?

I'd prefer it
if it weren't quite so simple!

Ah!

That guy is
focusing his power into his fist…

Oh, no! Captain!

It didn't explode.

How's it looking, Eraser?

I barely managed to stop the expl*si*n.

It's only a temporary delay.

The "bombs" themselves
haven't disappeared.

If he circles to the back of the tower,
Erasure won't work anymore.

Don't think you're getting away, villain!

Ah, that's…

Best Jeanist!

Where on earth are you standing?

This is the "Air Evacuation" group.

We've finished coordinating
with the relevant departments.

Commencing the counter-attack!

It looks like it's been connected.

That thread of hope!

Luna Fall!

Snipe here.

The villains at the top of the dome
have been suppressed.

Ingenium!

Air Jet sent these for you.

These are the radios used by Team IDATEN.

We'll use this place as our command HQ.

We need to provide full support
to the heroes in every sector

and get a grip on the situation.

Now then, everyone…

ignite your engines!

Full throttle!

Ninpo…

Thousand-Sheet Pierce!

Best Jeanist!

Right.

Best Jeanist!

It's arrived!

It's here?

Carbon fibre cables
for bridge construction.

Are you sure about this?

It's incredibly heavy material.

It's fine.

Even if it weighs dozens of tonnes,

as long as it's made of "fibres,"

it is a servant to me, a Fiber Master.

See? Just like I told you.

The heroes found a way to handle it.

I see. That's relieving.

Koichi.

I have a favour to ask of you.

Eh?

What is it? You're being so serious.

Please tell my wife and baby…

"Your daddy was
the greatest hero of them all."

Sure, that's no problem at all.

Are you two all right?

Ah, yes!

It's Edge Shot!

But shouldn't you tell them that yourself

when you get back home…

I always thought "pushing past my limits"

or "giving my all until the very end"

had nothing to do with me.

But this feeling is surprisingly not bad.

Honey,

I feel like this might be the first time
I'll actually earn your praise.

What do you think?

Was I cool enough this time?

Can you finally see me
as a partner worthy of you?

Boy! What are you doing?

Captain, don't just sit there falling!
Start flying!

Hurry up and save me!

I've used up all my strength!

I can't fly, that's why I'm falling!

You really have a knack
for doing something so unnecessary!

I couldn't help myself…

God, or some hero…

I don't care who it is,
just give me a hand!

I don't care what happens to me,

but please save Koichi!

Save this brave young man!

That's…

It's the Captain and The Crawler!

The unsung heroes of this battle.

We certainly can't let them die.

No, you've got it all wrong.

That's not it at all.

You all managed to scrape by
with your teamwork

and barely brought things under control.

But when it comes to raw power,

I've always had the absolute advantage.

I only released a tiny bit of it
for the sake of the experiment.

I can end this fight

whenever I feel like it.

He escaped by self-destructing!

This is bad.

He's blended into the smoke.
We've lost sight of him!

It was supposed to be like this…

So why do you pieces of trash

think you have the right
to act like hotshots?

It's really starting to tick me off.

So just go ahead and die!

So just go ahead and die!

So just go ahead and die!

Unlimiting the regeneration
of the b*mber villain's body…

Followed by a simultaneous detonation!

There, it's game over.

We're facing a massive crisis.

Arriving at the scene is the No. 1 Hero,

Arriving at the scene is the No. 1 Hero,

the man I admire most, All Might!

Next time: "This is a Hero!!"

Master's lonely battle

quietly begins amidst the perils.
