03x07 - (D) What a Twist!

[bunniefuu]

[MR. COMPRESS]

I captured Bakugo with a simple

slight-of-hand magic trick.

[TODOROKI]

Damn it, this guy's quick.

[IZUKU]

We can't give up. Not now.

We have to catch him

and get our friends back.

[TSUYU] Make sure you've

got a good grip on them.

[IZUKU, SHOJI, TODOROKI yell]

[MR. COMPRESS yells]

[TWICE]

Whoa, whoa, what's this?

Oh, hey, wait,

I know these kids.

Who are they?

[IZUKU] Welcome to UA High,

the prestigious school

that's turned out some of

the world's greatest heroes.

I'm running toward my

dream in these halls.

Learning to overcome

obstacles and save people

with a smile on my face.

That's how I'll become the

greatest hero in the world!

[IZUKU] While we were trying

to protect Kacchan,

our classmates had their

own problems back at camp

immediately following

Mandalay's message.

[KIRISHIMA] Come on! You heard

what she said, didn't you?

I can't let them get my friend.

You gotta let me go

find him, please!

Not a chance.

[KIRISHIMA]

But why not?

[ASHIDO]

Come on! Cool it, Kirishima.

Excuse me!

We don't know how many

villains there are.

Shouldn't we have as many

fighters as possible?

You can't seriously

wanna face the bad guys!

Iida gets it. Even

Mr. Aizawa said to fight.

Only for self-defense.

He meant the students

in the woods.

[KIRISHIMA growls]

[clicking]

Was that the door?

I guess Mr. Aizawa

is back already.

Finally. He'll understand.

[VLAD KING]

No, wait.

Move!

Everyone. Get back!

[gasps] No way!

That's the guy who

got creamed earlier!

[VLAD KING]

You're too slow!

Blood Control.

It's so strong!

Just as I'd expect

from our teacher!

You dare walk into my classroom

without so much as a plan?

You underestimate us.

[DABI]

Are you sure about that?

[VLAD KING]

Mm?

You're acting exactly

like I expected.

You've already been defeated,

regardless of what

happens to me.

The two most trusted pillars

of the superhuman society

are linked together.

UA, the pinnacle

of hero education,

and All Might,

the Symbol of Peace.

[VLAD KING gasps]

[DABI] But embarrassing

incidents have damaged

the world's trust in you both.

Sloppy management keeps

allowing villains

to slip in and attack.

People are so shaken

that they've almost lost

all faith in you.

Imagine how they'll react

when they find out

you let a student get kidnapped.

You shut up! That's

not gonna happen.

Not our classmate!

Not while we're here!

[DABI]

Don't be naive.

It only took a handful

of us to separate you

from the pros and start

picking you off.

That's enough!

[laughs]

[AIZAWA]

It's no use, Vlad.

--[SATO, ASHIDO] Mr. Aizawa!

--[MINETA] Yay!

[AIZAWA] This guy's just

trying to provoke you.

He won't talk.

Uh, Mr. Aizawa,

I think you got him.

[AIZAWA]

Look at him. Another fake.

I fought one before.

He wasn't real?

It must be a villain's Quirk.

[VLAD KING] Eraser.

What's it like out there?

[AIZAWA] Hard to say.

I left to direct our defense,

but I ended up

taking care of Kota.

Look after him while I

go back to the front line.

I'm counting on you to

keep defending this place.

Is that wise?

We hardly know

anything about them.

[AIZAWA]

You'll be just fine by yourself.

The other copy of him I fought

earlier used the same attack.

I think their

strategy is to send

their strongest fighters here

to keep our attention

since we're the pros.

That's how they're trying

to disguise the fact

that there are so few

of them out there.

If there aren't many, then

we should be fighting, too!

Yes! You need

strength in numbers!

[AIZAWA]

No!

If they're not here for us,

then they're after the students.

We know about Bakugo,

but they might be

targeting others as well.

We're still sorely

lacking in information.

The only way we win this

is by making sure you

students are protected.

[IZUKU]

Meanwhile...

[MR. COMPRESS yells]

[IZUKU] Give Kacchan

and Tokoyami back to us!

[TWICE] Wait, I know

these kids! Who are they?

Out of the way, Compress.

[MR. COMPRESS]

Got it.

[TWICE]

That's cold!

[yelling]

[SHOJI]

My arms are burning!

Midoriya! Shoji!

[TWICE]

The beat-up little boy and you.

You're on Shigaraki's k*ll

list! No, they weren't!

[TWICE]

So hot!

Hi, Izuku! My name's Toga!

[TOGA] I've been thinking

since I saw you...

...that you'd be so much cuter

if you just bled a

little more! I can help!

[SHOJI]

Midoriya!

[TOGA]

So, that's how it is.

You want to come between us?

To be honest, you're

not really my type.

But I'll cut you anyway.

[SHOJI]

She's crazy.

[TWICE]

Ha, ha! This is easy!

Give me all you've got!

Hey, man, cut me some slack!

What the hell is with this guy?

[MR. COMPRESS]

Ugh.

I can't believe you

wrecked my exit.

Unrehearsed amateurs.

You got Bakugo?

[MR. COMPRESS]

Of course.

[MR. COMPRESS]

Huh?

[SHOJI]

Midoriya. Todoroki. We're done!

He gave away his best trick.

I'm not sure what your Quirk is,

but it had to do with those

little marbles, right?

The ones you'd stashed

in your pocket.

So I'm guessing these

are Tokoyami and Bakugo.

You rescued them!

[MR. COMPRESS] Ha, ha, ha!

Well, color me impressed.

Just as I'd expect from

someone with so many hands.

How splendid.

Right. Nice job, Shoji.

Moron.

[MR. COMPRESS]

No, wait.

[gasps] A Nomu!

Quick, this way!

[gasps]

[SHOJI]

Not this guy.

He was at the USJ.

The warp villain.

[KUROGIRI] It's been five

minutes since the signal.

Let's go, Dabi.

Sorry, Izuku. But I'll

see you later, 'kay?

Hold on. We're not

leavin' without the kid.

[MR. COMPRESS]

Don't worry.

They were so proud

of themselves for rooting

through my pockets that I

thought I'd let them gloat.

[GROUP gasps]

[MR. COMPRESS]

But allow me to explain

a basic tenant of magic.

If I'm flaunting

something shiny,

it's because there's

something else

I don't want you to see.

[BOTH gasp]

He's got them!

Is that my ice?

[MR. COMPRESS] That's right.

During the freezing attack,

I prepared dummies and slipped

them into my right pocket.

Damn it!

[IZUKU] His Quirk lets him

compress and hold things!

[MR. COMPRESS]

A little bit of misdirection.

Forgive me. I do so

adore a twist ending.

[IZUKU]

You can't do this!

[MR. COMPRESS]

One last bow.

And then the curtain fal--

[IZUKU]

Aoyama?

[yells]

[IZUKU yells]

[TODOROKI grunts]

Well isn't that a tragedy.

Poor little Shoto Todoroki.

[TODOROKI grunts]

Confirm it now. Release them.

[MR. COMPRESS]

That laser ruined my finale.

Checkmate. Heh.

Kacchan, no!

Kacchan!

[KATSUKI]

Stay back, Deku!

[IZUKU grunts]

[gasps]

[IZUKU screams]

[OCHACO panting]

[IZUKU] On that fateful day,

we were aiming to be heroes.

But we failed.

[IZUKU]

And the villains won.

[IZUKU] Mr. Vlad King was able

to call emergency services.

Not too long after

the villains left,

ambulances and

firefighters arrived.

Of the students,

were unconscious

and in serious condition

due to the gas.

Eleven others were injured.

Thirteen were

unharmed, physically.

And... one of us was missing.

[IZUKU] One of the six pro

heroes was in serious condition

because of a blow to the head.

One was missing,

but it was apparent

that she'd lost a lot of blood.

Meanwhile, on the

villains' side,

three were caught and arrested.

The other attackers

managed to disappear

without a trace thanks

to the warp villain.

As I felt myself fading

into unconsciousness.

I remembered the harrowing words

Tomura Shigaraki said to me.

You should try to

be careful, friend.

'Cuz the next time we meet,

I'll likely have to k*ll you.

[IZUKU] The summer training

camp we'd all been

looking forward to couldn't

have been more of a disaster.

[REPORTER A] When are you

going to open the gates?

[REPORTER B]

We hear your silence!

When can we expect

an official statement

from UA's administration?

Has anyone been in contact with

the families of the children

you've allowed to be endangered?

[NEZU] That training camp

was meant to prepare students

to handle villain att*cks.

The irony is shameful.

We knew the League

would resurface.

But we lacked a fundamental

understanding of their plans.

They aim to destroy

hero society.

And they've already

started their w*r.

Even if we had understood,

could we really have

avoided this attack?

They're moving pieces

we didn't even know

they possessed.

Besides, All Might put an end

to most organized crime.

We're all rusty.

We've definitely

gotten complacent

during peaceful times

without realizing it.

I guess deep down

all of us thought

that we'd be riding

the sweet life for good.

I will never forgive myself

for such cowardly ignorance.

While our students were fighting

desperately for their lives,

I was just having a

relaxing soak in the bath.

[SNIPE] We shouldn't've

had the sports festival

right after the USJ attack.

We wanted to show

we were still strong.

To have a student kidnapped

is our greatest

failure as teachers.

They've taken Bakugo and

society's faith in heroes

away from us.

I agree. Every news outlet

is currently condemning UA High.

If Bakugo was one

of the main targets,

it's likely because

the villains noticed

his violent tendencies during

the sports festival broadcast.

If he ends up joining

the side of the villains...

...that will be the end

of UA as a school.

Since we're on the

topic of trust,

there's something I think

has to be voiced now.

At this point, we can't

deny it anymore, can we?

There's a traitor

at this school.

Only the teachers

and the Pussycats knew

where the training

camp would be.

Don't you think that's

a little suspicious?

I guess a kid could've

used their phone

to message a villain, but--

[MIDNIGHT]

Stop this, Mic.

What's the problem?

We have to find who the leak is!

[SNIPE]

Could be you for all we know.

You got any proof that

you're percent innocent?

Can we know that everyone

in this room is an ally?

[PRESENT MIC growls]

[SNIPE]

If we start doubtin' each other,

we'll destroy ourselves

from the inside.

Accusing a traitor

isn't somethin'

we should take lightly.

At the very least,

I trust everyone

sitting at this table.

Though, there's also no way

for me to prove to all of you

that I am innocent.

For the moment, what we

must do as a school

is concentrate on

guaranteeing the safety

of our student body.

This is a good time

to implement something

I've wanted to put

in place for a while.

You see, I...

[ALL MIGHT]

A phone call is here!

A phone call i--!

[ALL MIGHT] Excuse me, everyone,

I have to take this.

[PRESENT MIC]

We're in a meeting.

At least set it to vibrate.

[MIDNIGHT]

He's his own ringtone?

[ALL MIGHT sighs]

What Symbol of Peace can't even

keep his students

safe from harm?

[ALL MIGHT]

What hero can't?

Sorry. What is it, Tsukauchi?

We've finally finished

taking comprehensive

statements from Aizawa

and Vlad King.

And I think we've

found something.

It's possible we have a lead

on where the League

of Villains is hiding.

[ALL MIGHT gasps]

Really? Are you serious?

Yep. About two weeks ago,

I sent an officer around

to gather information.

A bystander pointed out

that he'd seen a man

with a patchwork face

entering a building

that was supposed to be vacant.

The man looked to be in his s,

but we didn't find

any plausible matches

when we checked

criminal records.

We spoke with the owner

of the building, though,

and found that there's

a sort of hidden bar there.

My man thought

this was unrelated

to our kidnapping case,

and didn't investigate further.

But remember the

description of that villain

from the attack?

He had a patchwork face.

Given the profile of this crime,

we'll move as soon as

we get the green light.

This is top secret. I'm only

telling you because it's you.

We plan to ask for cooperation

from many pro heroes

for this rescue

and inevitable cleanup mission.

All Might. We need your power.

All Might, are you still there?

[ALL MIGHT] Tsukauchi.

You're a wonderful friend.

And I know just what

I'll say when I find them.

"I am here to make you pay

for what you've done."

[REPORTER D] It would appear

that the principal offenders

behind the UA High

training camp attack

called themselves the

League of Villains'

Vanguard Action Squad.

The League was previously

involved in the USJ attack

and the Hosu Incident--

The youngest victim

in the training camp attack

is reportedly the son

of pro heroes Water Hose,

who were k*lled by

Muscular in a tragic--

It's perfectly obvious to me

that there's some

sort of problem

with UA's current management.

If I had a child who

wanted to become a hero,

there's no way I'd enroll

them in a school that'll--

[SHIGARAKI cackles]

[SHIGARAKI]

I'm so grateful to the media

for all the free

publicity lately.

Right? Isn't it nice?

Katsuki Bakugo.

[IZUKU] After the incident,

paramedics brought me

to a hospital near

the training camp,

where I slipped in and out of

consciousness for two days.

I suffered from seizures,

and when I woke,

I was delirious with fever.

At some point,

Recovery Girl came to heal

me as best she could.

The cops showed up,

too, apparently.

Though, I don't remember

any of that.

[IZUKU]

Mom.

My baby. I can't

do this anymore.

I don't think my heart

can handle another scare.

What about Kota?

I hope he's okay.

[knocking]

Hey! Midoriya, good,

you're finally awake!

Did you see the news?

Reporters are all over

the school right now.

[SATO]

It's worse than last time.

I brought a present.

I mean, it's from all

of us. It's a melon.

I caused you trouble, Midoriya.

No, please. I did

this to myself.

Did everyone from

Class A come to visit?

[TENYA] No. Jiro and

Hagakure are still out.

They were knocked unconscious

from that villain's

poisonous gas.

And Yaoyorozu took a

pretty bad hit to the head.

She's hospitalized here.

Though I just found out she

finally woke up yesterday.

So it's just us,

though obviously we wish

the whole class could be here.

Only of us for now.

Because Bakugo is gone.

[ASHIDO]

He knows, Todoroki.

[IZUKU]

Kacchan!

[KATSUKI]

Stay back, Deku!

[IZUKU] All Might told me

there'd always be people

beyond our reach.

That we can't protect

even though we want to.

Which is why we have to save

the people we can reach.

I... was so close

to being able to save him.

I needed to save him. Had to.

That's the entire reason

I have my Quirk.

It's exactly like

Mr. Aizawa said to me.

[AIZAWA] You're worthless

if you can only throw

a single punch

before breaking down.

My body... wouldn't move.

I couldn't save someone who

was right in front of me.

And since I failed...

He's gone.

All right, then

let's go get him.

[IZUKU, OCHACO, TENYA gasp]

I was here yesterday, too.

And so was Todoroki.

[KIRISHIMA]

Uh! Why are you at the hospital?

I could ask you that.

Well, I couldn't

just sit at home.

So I figured I would come here.

Me, too. I felt the same.

We were on our way to visit you,

when we saw All Might

and some police officer

talking to Yaoyorozu.

With the assistance

of Awase from Class B,

I attached a tracking device

to one of the villains.

This is the creation that

will receive that signal.

I hope it helps your search.

Previously, Aizawa

said you lacked

the self-confidence

and judgment needed

to make quick decisions.

Well, look how much

you've grown!

You have our thanks, Yaoyorozu.

With a classmate

still in danger,

it's frustrating that I can't

help you more than this.

I hate it.

[ALL MIGHT]

That painful feeling is proof

that you are worthy

of being a hero.

[gasps]

Please don't worry.

You can leave the rest to us!

This means you're going

to have Yaoyorozu

make another receiver

for you, doesn't it?

What if it does?

[MANUAL] Either way, we'll need

to take responsibility

for being negligent

as supervisors.

I'm sorry. I should've listened.

Yeah! You caused us

a lot of trouble.

Remember that,

and don't do it again.

You should listen to

what All Might said!

We have to leave this

to the professionals!

It's not the right time for

us to get involved. Idiots.

Maybe, but all I know...

...is that at camp,

I couldn't do anything.

I heard my friend

was targeted,

and I just stood by. Helpless.

So, if I stand by

and do nothing now,

how'm I s'posed to call

myself a hero or a man?

Kirishima, calm down!

We're in a hospital.

There's a better time

and place for this, dude.

Yeah, and what

Iida said is true.

[KIRISHIMA] All of you.

Just listen to me for a minute.

I know what you're

saying is right.

But still! C'mon, Midoriya.

He's still within your reach!

We can save Bakugo!

[IZUKU]

Now, the preview!

It's possible we have

a way to save Kacchan

from the hands of

the League of Villains.

I can still reach my friend.

I can protect him.

It's going to be

dangerous, I know.

But I can't just sit

around doing nothing!

All I can think about

is rescuing him!

But I'll need help.

Next time: "From

Iida to Midoriya"!

We can do this.

This time, I swear,

my outstretched hand

will find Kacchan's!

Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
