03x09 - (D) All For One

[bunniefuu]

[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!

[REPORTER A] You spoke about

keeping the students safe,

Eraser Head.

But according to our

information, you encouraged them

to fight during the attack

on the training camp,

putting them in grave danger.

What was your

reasoning for this?

I concluded that because we

didn't know the full situation.

Allowing them to use

their Quirks would help

avoid the worst

possible outcome.

And what would that outcome be?

Do you think victims

and one kidnapped child

is a win for UA High?

I assure you that

things could have gone

much more poorly.

I feared every student

would be tortured and

k*lled in the end.

Most of the victims were

harmed by the gas attack.

We've determined it to be the

result of a poisonous Quirk

used by one of the villains.

It's thanks to the quick

actions of Ms. Kendo

and Mr. Tetsutetsu that injuries

were kept to a bare minimum.

Additionally, we're providing

mental health counseling

to every student,

though at the moment,

we do not see any signs of

serious psychological trauma.

So you've found a bright

spot in this tragedy?

We're relieved that

an entire class

of burgeoning heroes

still has a future.

Can you say the same thing

for the abducted,

Katsuki Bakugo?

He enrolled at your school

with excellent marks,

and went on to win

the sports festival.

Before that, he

survived the attack

of a powerful sludge

villain who eventually

had to be taken down

by All Might.

The boy is obviously

strong and heroic.

On the other hand, the violence

he displayed in the finals

and his attitude at

the awards ceremony

both showed that he

cannot control his temper.

What if this is the real reason

the villains kidnapped him?

What if they're brainwashing

Bakugo right now,

pulling him toward

the path of evil?

How can you sit

there and tell us

he still has a future?

[VLAD KING] This reporter knows

exactly what he's doing.

He's trying to antagonize us

so we say something damning.

You can't fall for it, Eraser.

He probably knows how much

you hate the media.

Don't let him trick you.

[AIZAWA]

As Katsuki Bakugo's teacher,

I take full responsibility for

not taming his violent behavior.

However, his actions

at the sports festival

were born of his

deep-seated convictions.

He's trying harder than

anyone in his pursuit

to become the top hero.

If the villains think they

have a chance with him,

then they are grossly mistaken.

I can guarantee you that much.

That doesn't amount to

real evidence, though.

I didn't ask you how you feel,

I asked you if you had

concrete information.

We're doing our best

with the intel

we currently have available.

I have no doubt the police

will break this case very soon.

We won't rest until

our missing student

is returned to UA.

Hah! Did ya hear the teachers?

They get me more than I thought.

I'll never join your

league of b*stards!

[KATSUKI] They went through

the trouble of mounting

a huge attack, all just

to bring me back here.

The idiots even told me

what they wanted.

For me to join their

pathetic group.

Which means I know

they won't k*ll me.

What a bunch of amateurs.

Now's my chance.

I gotta take a couple

of 'em down quick,

and get the hell outta here.

We may not be at camp,

but I'm still allowed to fight!

He must've figured out

he's important to us.

What a clever boy.

No. He's a fool.

Let me stab him.

[MR. COMPRESS] A clever

performer would've acted

like we were winning him over.

Now that he's broken

character, he's finished.

I only do whatever I want to,

and I won't even

pretend otherwise.

And I'm tired of

being surrounded

by a bunch of lame-a*s wannabes.

[SHIGARAKI]

Father.

[KUROGIRI]

No, Tomura Shigaraki. Be calm.

Don't lay a finger

on him. Any of you.

This "hero"...

[SHIGARAKI]

...is still a valuable piece.

[SHIGARAKI] I wish you would've

listened to what I had to say.

I thought you and I could

come to an understanding.

[BEST JEANIST]

Heroes and villains

are cut from the same cloth.

What, you think we're the same?

Not a chance.

[SHIGARAKI]

Then I have no choice.

The heroes said they'd

continue their investigation

of our group, so we don't have

time to stand here and talk.

Master.

Lend me your power.

That is a wise decision,

Tomura Shigaraki.

Okay, this is the spot the

tracker is broadcasting from.

So that's their hideout?

Not a bad one, I guess.

[YAOYOROZU]

Maybe it is and maybe it isn't.

According to the

tracking history,

the villain hasn't left this

location for the past day.

But that's all we know.

One villain is hiding here,

but that could be it.

They might have Bakugo

somewhere else.

We're going into this

operation completely blind

for the most part. Please

try to proceed logically.

I don't like this.

None of us are good

at sneaking around.

We need Hagakure or Jiro here.

If I think things are gonna

be the least bit dangerous,

we're done.

I won't hesitate to

call the police, either.

To make sure my

friends are safe.

[IZUKU]

Thank you, Iida.

So, what can we do with

what's in front of us?

Let me see here.

[mumbling] The prerequisite is

that we don't use our Quirks

to fight the villains,

and on top of that,

we need to figure out...

[KIRISHIMA] It's been a while

since I've seen him this weird.

[YAOYOROZU] Yeah, this is

truly peak Midoriya.

[TENYA]

That's right.

Once you set your

heart on something,

there's no swaying you.

You won't stop.

It's what I respect

about you as a friend.

And a rival.

But there must be boundaries.

And someone has to make

sure you don't cross them.

This time, I'll protect you.

[ENDEAVOR]

Why should I clean up UA's mess?

I'm a very busy man,

as you know.

[BEST JEANIST]

Get off your high horse.

You are a UA alum.

We can't call any heroes

away from the school.

There is a bigger

picture, Endeavor.

[ENDEAVOR]

Tch.

[TSUKAUCHI]

It's possible this incident

is the beginning of the

end for Hero society.

We'll stop at nothing

to resolve this successfully.

[BEST JEANIST]

During the internships,

I invited Bakugo to my agency

to try and reform him.

I've met very few

as stubborn as he is.

I imagine he's fighting back.

We need to hurry.

[g*ng ORCA] Not even you were

able to change his behavior.

[BEST JEANIST]

Yes. He was inflexible,

pride sewn into his very core.

My comrade, Ragdoll,

was also taken.

This is my chance

to get her back.

[TSUKAUCHI] Thanks to

the tracking devices set

by one of the students,

we now believe there are

two separate hideout locations.

We know from our investigations

where the kidnapped

victim is located.

We'll send the bulk

of our forces there.

Retrieving Bakugo

is our priority.

At the same time,

we'll gain control

of the other hideout.

This will cut off

their paths of retreat.

We'll arrest them all at once.

[GRAN TORINO]

Toshinori.

If they're recruiting

old men like me, then...

What are you suggesting?

You're still Gran Torino.

And with such staggering

stakes at hand.

We can be sure that

he is involved.

All For One.

We have the element of surprise!

These villains will not succeed!

At the press

conference earlier,

we had Principal Nezu

act clueless

to deceive the villains.

He feigned ignorance on camera,

as if we didn't have leads.

After hearing his words,

the villains won't expect us

to rush in on the very same day.

We'll retaliate! It's time

for our counterattack!

Remind the world what

you can do, Heroes!

We've gotten pretty close,

but I haven't seen

anything move inside.

And not a single light is on.

It doesn't look

like anyone's home.

They're hiding this

lair in plain sight.

It looks like any other

abandoned warehouse.

[IZUKU]

The weeds under the front door

are thick and undisturbed.

There must be another

way to get in.

Maybe someone's

Quirk is hiding it.

We can't just enter carelessly.

It could be a trap.

If we could just

see inside somehow...

[DRUNK MAN A] Hey. You lookin'

for a real man, darlin'?

I'm good.

Ditch these losers

and come drink with us.

Come on, don't go

pickin' fights.

[IZUKU]

Hey! You talkin' ta us?

Let's get out of here.

It's not crowded, but

there are people around.

We can't draw

attention to ourselves.

So what's our next move?

[IZUKU]

Let's go around the back.

It might be the best

chance we have to get

some solid intel on this place.

This is so narrow.

I might get stuck.

Just keep moving.

We have to figure out

what's happening inside.

No one will see us

from back here.

[gasps] There!

We should be able to get

a look through that window.

We'll be blind in the darkness.

One second, I'll make

a night vision scope.

Wait. No need.

I actually brought one

along with me for this.

[IZUKU]

Whoa, really?

When I thought about

what we'd have to do,

I figured we might need it.

Sure, but aren't those

models super expensive?

I did some research on

them when I was thinking

about my costume, but,

they cost, like,

, or something, right?

[KIRISHIMA]

Whatever, man. Just drop it.

Right. Then Kirishima

will serve as our scout.

Back him up, Midoriya.

[IZUKU]

Hold steady.

[TENYA]

Don't lean forward too much.

We may have to run

at a moment's notice.

[KIRISHIMA] Iida, can you

move back a little?

[TENYA]

Tell us what you see inside.

Quickly. And be quiet!

Got it. The place

is pretty trashed.

Doesn't look like... Uh...

[yelps]

Hey, you okay?

What's wrong? You weren't

spotted, were you?

The back left.

The corner, Midoriya. Look!

[IZUKU]

No way. Are those all...

...Nomu?

[SHIGARAKI]

Master. Lend me your power.

A master?

I thought you were

the boss around here.

But you're a sidekick.

[SHIGARAKI]

Kurogiri. Compress.

It's time to put him

back to sleep.

[MR. COMPRESS sighs]

I can't believe he's such a bad

audience member.

It's almost impressive.

If you want me to listen,

then get on your knees and beg!

[KATSUKI]

I wanna blow them away

with maximum firepower, but

that warp guy is way too fast.

Think.

I need to make an opening

somehow and get to the backdoor!

[knocking]

[VOICE] Hello? I gotta

pizza delivery here.

[ALL MIGHT]

Smash!

[SPINNER]

What the--?

[SHIGARAKI]

Kurogiri! Gate!

[KAMUI WOODS]

Pre-emptive Binding...

[KAMUI WOODS]

...Lacquered Chain Prison!

Heh. That's it?

Don't do anything foolish.

It's in your best interest

to cooperate with us.

[ALL MIGHT] Just what I'd expect

from a competent new hero.

And a veteran pro who moves

faster than the eye can see!

You can't run anymore,

League of Villains.

Understand?

Because we are here now!

[MR. COMPRESS] Right after

the press conference?

They had this ruse

planned the whole time!

[TWICE] Tree man!

You're hugging me too tight!

Harder!

[EDGESHOT]

One tends to neglect defense

when they're on the offense.

But we didn't come alone.

Take a look.

[EDGESHOT]

You're surrounded by the police.

Not to mention powerful

heroes like Endeavor.

Tsukauchi!

Why does Edgeshot get

to rush into the fight

while I'm stuck here with you?

Because if someone slips out,

we'll need you to

capture them immediately.

Ugh!

Ah, you must've been scared.

But you stayed strong.

I'm sorry. You're

safe now, young man.

What?! I wasn't scared!

Not even close!

[ALL MIGHT]

Heh!

[SHIGARAKI] After I went

through all the trouble

of preparing this,

the final boss

goes and shows up

on my doorstep.

Everyone's been restrained.

There's no easy way to escape.

It can't be helped.

So, they've got backup,

huh? Well, we do, too.

[SHIGARAKI] Kurogiri!

Warp over as many as you can!

The Nomu, right?

[thud]

[KIRISHIMA]

Hey!

[IZUKU gasps]

Is that...?

[STUDENTS yelping]

[SHIGARAKI] What are you

waiting for, dammit?

[KUROGIRI]

I'm sorry, Tomura Shigaraki.

The Nomus were supposed to be

in a fixed location

but... they're gone!

[SHIGARAKI]

Huh?

[ALL MIGHT] It seems you have

a lot to learn, Shigaraki.

You're still green.

[SHIGARAKI growls]

Your little League

underestimated all of us.

The soul of this young man.

The police's diligent

investigations.

And... our righteous fury!

[BEST JEANIST] We have control.

The Nomu are neutralized.

Enough is enough.

Your game has come to

an end, Tomura Shigaraki!

[yelps] All Might, please!

You're the only hero

Stain respected!

You are worthy!

You think it's over?

Don't be stupid.

I've only just begun to play.

Justice. Peace.

You created a garbage

society by lifting up

such ridiculous ideals.

That's why I targeted

you, All Might.

It's why I started gathering

people to my cause.

You think this is the end?

Then you've lost.

Kurogiri!

[MAGNE yelps]

What just happened?

I couldn't see anything.

Did they k*ll him?

[EDGESHOT]

I played around with his insides

and made him fall unconscious.

Ninpo: Thousand Sheet Pierce!

He was such a nuisance.

He had to sleep.

Weren't you listening earlier?

You'll all be better off

if you take us seriously.

Kenji Hikiishi.

[gasps]

[GRAN TORINO]

Atsuhiro Sako.

Shuichi Iguchi.

Himiko Toga.

Jin Bubaigawara.

[GRAN TORINO] Though they had

little time and information,

the police worked

through the night

to discover your

true identities.

Do you understand?

There's nowhere left

for any of you to run.

So, Shigaraki. One question.

Where is your boss hiding?

[ALL FOR ONE] No one's come

to save you, have they?

You've had a hard life,

Tenko Shimura.

"He'll be fine.

Eventually, the

heroes will help."

I'm sure that's what

everyone thought

as they looked away

and ignored you.

The world shouldn't

be so unforgiving.

You didn't do anything wrong.

[ALL FOR ONE]

Don't worry. I am here for you.

[SHIGARAKI]

No. This is not over.

Just you wait.

The game is still mine.

You'll tell us where

he is right now.

[SHIGARAKI]

Go away. Disappear!

[ALL MIGHT growls]

Shigaraki!

[SHIGARAKI]

This is your fault. I hate you!

--[SHIGARAKI gasps]

--[NOMUS growling]

[KAMUI WOODS]

Nomu! How'd they get here?

What is this?

Dammit, Edgeshot. Stop Kurogiri!

[EDGESHOT] He's still out.

This isn't his doing.

[GRAN TORINO]

They keep on coming.

Don't release them under

any circumstances, got it?

[KAMUI WOODS]

Right!

[KATSUKI]

The crap?

Bakugo!

No!

[KAMUI WOODS]

Endeavor! Help us!

No!

[growling]

Tsukauchi. Evacuate the area!

They're from the other hideout.

That location should

be locked down.

Come in, Jeanist. What the

hell is going on over there?

Jeanist?!

Toshinori. What now?

They shouldn't have been

able to warp Nomu here.

And this backup came too fast!

[ALL MIGHT]

I fear that he has made a move.

[SHIGARAKI]

Master.

What? Did the building

just come down?

[gasps] g*ng Orca and Mt. Lady?

Whoa, even Best Jeanist is here.

[YAOYOROZU]

And Mr. Tiger, too.

Ugh. Are these gross

dudes really alive?

I thought we'd be in for a

fight, but this was super easy.

Maybe we should've

left this to the police

and gone with All Might.

[BEST JEANIST]

Difficulty and importance

are two very different

things, rookie.

Riot squad, get the

transports ready.

There could be more of them.

Be on your guard.

[RIOT SQUAD A]

Yes, sir!

C'mon, Ragdoll. Wake up for me.

[g*ng ORCA]

Is that your teammate?

She's breathing. That's good.

Yes, but... Look at her.

What have they done

to you, my friend?

Everything's fine.

The heroes were on top of

this way before we were.

This is great!

Now then, let's get back home.

At least we won't have

to explain ourselves.

It sounded like All Might

is somewhere else.

Does that mean he's

rescued Kacchan?

If All Might's on the scene,

there's no reason

for us to worry.

Let's go. Quick.

Right.

[ALL FOR ONE]

I'm sorry, Tiger.

But Ragdoll's Quirk

was so useful.

I just had to take it.

How could I not?

Are you with the League?

Somebody get us a light.

[ALL FOR ONE] Since my body

was mostly destroyed,

I haven't been able

to stock up on Quirks.

[g*ng ORCA]

Stop there! Don't move!

Hey! You can't attack like that!

What if he's just a bystander!

[BEST JEANIST]

Think about the situation.

A moment of hesitation

could decide the fight.

We can't let these

villains try anything!

[BEST JEANIST grunts]

[ALL FOR ONE] Tomura has finally

started thinking rationally

and making decisions by himself.

I do wish that you hadn't

gotten in his way.

[IZUKU]

There was no time to stop him.

No time to even move.

It happened in an instant.

A microsecond.

And in that moment,

this man made us feel death.

We could see it in

front of us clearly.

[ALL MIGHT]

Since you now bear One For All,

you may one day have to fight

against this great

evil yourself.

Because I failed.

[IZUKU]

"Tomura." He meant Shigaraki!

What is this? It's not

true, is it, All Might?

Don't tell me that this...

...this is... All For One.

[ALL FOR ONE]

Now then. Shall we begin?

[IZUKU]

Now, the preview!

In one horrible instant,

the pro heroes

who raided the Nomu factory were

defeated by a massive blast.

The one to blame for the attack

is the villain

All Might spoke of,

the Symbol of Evil, All For One.

In the face of his

terrifying presence,

fear has us unable to move,

even though Kacchan is

right in front of us!

Next time: "Symbol of Peace"!

Everything's okay now. Why?

Because he is here!

Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
