The neurotoxin should
be circulating
throughout your bodies
at this point.
You're not gonna
die, but I doubt
you'll be doing any
running for a while.
Oh, and I'll be taking
these masks with me.
Who knows what kinda tricks
you might have
hidden inside them?
[AMAJIKI gasps]
[AMAJIKI]
That took me too long.
Wonder how far ahead
the others are now.
I need to catch up.
[thud]
[AMAJIKI] Huh. I guess I was
hurt worse than I thought.
[AMAJIKI] Huh. I guess I was
hurt worse than I thought.
[POLICE, HEROES panting]
[KIRISHIMA]
Oh, man. Amajiki.
I'm really worried about him.
[FAT GUM] Not even the first
years think he can do this.
Guess one moment of confidence
doesn't mean much
if they haven't seen
him do anything
to back it up, but still.
Listen!
You've left a comrade
to guard your back,
and if you're a real man,
you'll trust him!
Yeah, he'll handle
it, no problem!
It doesn't take much to
change your mind, does it?
[KIRISHIMA] Fat's right! All we
can do is have faith in him!
[FAT GUM] We can't afford
to waste a second
of the time Suneater bought us!
All right! Let's go!
[ROCK LOCK]
Kid needs to calm down.
[AIZAWA] Strange. The guy
who was manipulating
the building seems to have
eased off for some reason.
Yeah, you're right.
It's not twisting anymore.
[AIZAWA] I'd expect him
to throw as many obstacles
in our way as he
could to trip us up.
If he's not, maybe that
means his awareness
and control don't extend
through the entire place.
There's also the police
squad up above.
It's possible he decided
to focus all his attention
on them instead.
So there's a limit to how much
of the building
he can keep tabs on?
[AIZAWA] It's just a theory,
but maybe rather than having
been assimilated into it,
he's moving around inside
the walls to monitor
what's going on.
So when he does take
control of an area,
perhaps his true body is nearby.
[MIMIC] They only managed
to stop one of the heroes?
Garbage or not, those three
are supposed to be strong.
[AIZAWA] If he pokes an
actual eye or an ear out
to keep track of us,
that'll be all it takes.
[MIMIC gasps]
That's right.
[AIZAWA]
I just need to see him.
[MIMIC]
It's his fault!
[BUBBLE GIRL]
I can't believe you all came out
to try and stop us.
It seems crazy to me.
[HASSAIKAI MEMBER E]
Well, it's not.
Fighting you people was
the only sane option.
We couldn't just sit it out.
If we did, Overhaul would've
k*lled us without a thought.
Overhaul. You're
talking about Chisaki?
[HASSAIKAI MEMBER E] Yeah,
it's what he started callin'
himself after the boss got
sick and he came to power.
The boss valued the old ways.
He wanted the yakuza
to stay as we were,
even in these new times.
We're not like villains;
the Hassaikai have integrity.
He didn't want us to
be seen as just another
group of low-life thugs.
He's who we respected.
We trusted him.
The young head gave
himself a villain's name.
Allowed scum to join us.
He makes decisions on his own,
doesn't care what
the rest of us want.
Thinks he's the only one
whose vote matters.
The boss's in bad shape.
Can't even talk, and
we know who to blame.
Watch it.
As much as you dislike Chisaki,
you seem pretty sure that
we're not gonna catch him.
[HASSAIKAI MEMBER D]
You don't stand a chance.
Whackjob like him?
Doesn't care about consequences
or even his own future?
Those are the ones you
have to watch out for.
It's what makes
them so dangerous.
Eraser!
[AIZAWA] He wants to
knock me out of the fight
before I can get eyes on him.
[MIMIC] If those idiots
can't handle their job,
I'll just have to take
care of these guys myself!
[AIZAWA]
No!
[FAT GUM]
If we don't stop this guy,
then Tamaki will've
stayed behind for nothing.
Come on, Eraser,
time to do your thing!
[AIZAWA]
Be careful, Fat!
[KIRISHIMA muffled grunting]
Where'd you come from?
I jumped out in
front of Mr. Aizawa.
[KIRISHIMA] I figured I
wouldn't take any damage.
But then you jumped
and I kinda got stuck.
Well, nothin' we can do now.
Get ready. We're not alone.
[KIRISHIMA]
Go ahead, punch me.
[KIRISHIMA]
I'll smash your fist to pieces!
[KIRISHIMA grunts]
[FAT GUM gasps]
You good?
[FAT GUM gasps]
[panting]
No. My arms are...
[RAPPA]
You know what I think?
Knives and g*ns got
no place in a fight.
Anyone can win if
they got a w*apon.
That's the coward's way.
A real fighter kills
his opponent using
nothing but his own strength.
You a real fighter?
[FAT GUM] You're not gonna
take us down that easily!
[FAT GUM gasps]
What?
[FAT GUM]
Looks like some kinda barrier.
[TENGAI]
So, we have Fat Gum and a boy
with a hardening Quirk.
Mm... They're both better
suited for defense.
Disappointing, isn't it, Rappa?
[RAPPA grunts]
[groans]
[FAT GUM] I can feel his
blows even through my fat.
Each punch is like a b*llet.
[RAPPA]
You call that a good defense?
They're both lookin'
rough already.
I mean, they're not
mincemeat yet, but still.
[FAT GUM] These two weren't
on the Quirk list we got.
Did they bring in outside help?
One makes a barrier and the
other rains down punches.
This'll be a tricky
pair to fight.
[TENGAI]
We are a spear and a shield.
Whereas you are
simply two shields.
[RAPPA]
Wait, hold on.
Who'd wanna fight with
two shields? Sounds lame.
[TENGAI] To be fair,
I don't know whether that boy
even qualifies as one.
[KIRISHIMA]
My arms cracked. Man, it hurts.
I couldn't absorb the blow.
Another barrage like
that, and I'm done.
I thought I'd gotten stronger.
Damn it! I'm still weak.
[FAT GUM]
Remember, you're unbreakable!
[KIRISHIMA gasps]
If you let them
break your spirit,
that means you've lost!
When you're up against villains,
the key is making 'em lose
their will to fight first!
You can't lose your
drive before they do!
Now, let's take
those two fatheads
down and get outta here.
The others are waitin' for us!
[TENGAI]
They believe they can defeat us.
You must be thrilled.
[RAPPA] I like the way
that fat guy thinks!
All right. This is
startin' to get good.
Get rid of this
damn thing, Tengai.
I don't need a stupid
bubble to keep me safe.
[TENGAI]
Rise above your own desires.
Remember what
Master Overhaul said.
He paired us for a reason.
Our skills complement each
other, ensuring victory.
[RAPPA groans]
[TENGAI] What do you hope
such v*olence will accomplish?
[RAPPA] Overhaul didn't ask if
I wanted to team up with you.
[TENGAI] "Master Overhaul."
Show some respect.
[RAPPA] Who cares? All I
want is a good deathmatch.
[TENGAI]
Very well.
If you think you can
take them yourself,
by all means.
[RAPPA]
That's more like it.
You're not so bad after all!
[FAT GUM] When I get in close,
I can't dodge his hits.
And there's so much
strength behind them
that not even I can
absorb all the damage.
He'll wear me down till
I've got nothin' left.
They were arguing
before, but I'm sure
the other guy'll put up a shield
if his partner needs one.
It felt like an iron wall
when I punched it earlier.
My power isn't enough
to take it down.
We won't be able to win while
that guy's still standin'.
Despite what I said,
Kirishima's in rough shape
But I've got no choice.
I have to face them. Get this
wrong, and I might die.
But if I don't try at all,
we're dead for sure.
Fat Gum.
[FAT GUM]
Your name's Rappa, right?
It's been a while since
I've been hit that hard.
And I've done a decent amount
of fighting over the years, too.
In the end, it's all
gonna come down
to what happens first.
Your arms get tired
or my body gives out.
Which is stronger?
Spear or shield?
I guess we're about to
find out, aren't we?
[RAPPA] All right! You
totally get me, Fatso!
Tengai, remember.
[TENGAI]
No barriers.
[RAPPA] Yeah! This is
gonna be awesome, guys!
[KIRISHIMA]
Fat. He's protecting me.
Even though those
punches are obviously
wearing him down.
What is wrong with me?
I was so sure I'd gotten
stronger! But then...
He broke through
my ultimate move
with a single attack.
And now I'm just in the way.
[FAT GUM] He keeps getting
faster and each hit hurts
worse than the last.
Am I gonna be able to
hold out long enough?
[RAPPA] Come on,
Wideload, hang in there.
You can't pass out on me yet!
We've got a long way to go and
I'm just gettin' warmed up!
[KIRISHIMA] Damn it.
I can't just stand here.
I have to do something.
Fat Gum's gonna die!
Because of me!
Useless bastard!
Your Hardening cracks
and there's nothing
worthwhile underneath!
[KIRISHIMA]
Can't I do anything?
[TENGAI]
The boy won't be a problem.
He's already finished.
You can see it in his eyes.
[KIRISHIMA]
It's just like it was back then.
Nothing's changed. Nothing.
[DELINQUENT A]
Hey, there. We heard about you.
You're the guy who can change
leaves into money, right?
Nice Quirk, man.
So make these into
some bills quick, dude.
We're kinda short on cash.
[STUDENT A]
I can't do paper bills!
And anyway, it wears
off really quickly.
[DELINQUENT A] Then we'll
just have to spend them
really quickly, won't we?
I can't! You guys, seriously!
What's up?
You bullyin' a kid for
some chump change?
That's not very manly, jerks!
Who's that?
Third year. Kirishima.
[DELINQUENT B]
Here he comes!
[DELINQUENT A]
I got him.
[KIRISHIMA grunts]
He's not actually that strong.
His Quirk just makes his
body a little bit harder.
Bastard!
[DELINQUENT A]
Now let's go.
[KIRISHIMA yelps]
Get back here!
[FRIEND A]
Forget about it, Kirishima.
You were watching?
Why are you always sticking
your neck out like that, man?
It doesn't matter
what your Quirk is
if you have an honorable heart!
That's what the Chivalrous Hero:
Crimson Riot believes!
No one believes stuff
like that anymore.
Like the pros say.
Your body moves before
your brain can think!
Which means...
[FRIEND A]
It's Mina Ashido, from Class .
[KIRISHIMA]
She's really laying into 'em.
[FRIEND A]
And now they're getting along?
[FRIEND B]
Hold on, are they break dancing?
[FRIEND A]
They're leaving!
[FRIEND B]
And no one got hurt!
What in the world just happened?
Hey! There you are!
Mina! We're going
shopping, wanna come?
Yeah!
I hear that Ashido
is applying to UA.
Her Quirk's strong and
her reflexes are great.
People like her, and she's
got a super flashy look.
It's all about
entertainment value
and approval ratings these days.
That's what people are
looking for in a hero.
Yeah, and Ashido's
got that covered.
She's definitely hero material.
[KIRISHIMA]
What about me?
My Hardening is pretty weak,
and it's nothing flashy.
Kinda boring.
But if you have
a chivalrous heart,
it doesn't matter
what your Quirk is.
Train your body as
hard as you can
and your spirit will make up
for your Quirk's weakness!
Or at least that's
what I thought.
Hey, speaking of high school.
I'm kinda thinking
I might go for UA, too.
Please. Normal people like us
don't grow up
to be heroes, idiot.
Hey, E. You wanna apply
to Droid Tech together?
Oh. I dunno.
I haven't really thought about
it that much, so... Heh.
[KIRISHIMA] As lame as it
sounds, seeing somebody
like Ashido in action
got me thinking.
What if I had a flashier Quirk?
Would that give me
the confidence I need
to apply for the
hero course at UA?
[DJ A] We're looking at
another sunny day tomorrow...
[KIRISHIMA]
What... is that?
[GIGANTO MACHIA]
The Springer Hero Agency.
Tell me where it is.
[STUDENTS gasping]
[GIGANTO MACHIA] What?
You're not gonna answer me?
[KIRISHIMA] Crap, why aren't
there ever any heroes
patrolling at times like these?
Someone... No.
I can do it!
[GIGANTO MACHIA]
It's a simple question.
Why won't you tell me?
[KIRISHIMA]
Move! Come on!
Around that corner and then
make a left at the big street!
The agency's two
kilometers away!
Thank you very much.
[GIGANTO MACHIA]
Everything is for my master.
You guys! That was scary!
Thank you! You saved us!
[STUDENT B]
If you hadn't stopped him,
he would've squashed
us for sure!
[ASHIDO] I lied and
sent him to the police,
let's hurry and get out of here!
[KIRISHIMA]
I froze. Why didn't I go? Why?
[KIRISHIMA] In the spring,
guy the same age as me
was in the news for fighting
back against a villain.
Everyone was talking about him,
but there were witnesses
who said that just before
All Might showed up, another
kid--his friend, maybe--
rushed in to help.
My spirit's not making
up for anything.
When you're really scared...
When your life is
really on the line...
That's when your
true colors show.
Facing danger,
and choosing to take
that next step forward,
that's what makes
a person hero material.
I'm not a hero.
I'm not even a man.
[KIRISHIMA] My mom told
me that the first time
my Quirk appeared,
I accidentally cut my eye.
For a while after that,
I whined and cried about
how much I hated my power.
Thinking about it now,
that's probably
why I admired him so much.
I hated my own Quirk,
but his was similar.
He stood tall and risked
his life to save others.
[CRIMSON RIOT]
That's not it, is it?
--[KIRISHIMA gasps]
--[MC A] No, I'm sorry!
[KIRISHIMA] Oh. That came
with a book on great heroes
I got for my birthday
a while ago.
Guess I never got
around to watching it.
[MC A] If you're ready,
we'll start the interview.
[CRIMSON RIOT]
Right, hit me!
[MC A] Even among heroes,
you have a reputation
for being a bit... reckless,
often rushing
headlong into danger.
Tell me, are you ever
afraid in those situations?
[CRIMSON RIOT]
What kind of question is that?
Of course I'm afraid!
Show me somebody who's not
afraid of facing death,
and I'll show you an idiot!
[KIRISHIMA] I never understood
what he was about before.
Not really, anyway.
I just thought he was cool
for charging full-force
into everything.
[CRIMSON RIOT]
I'm where I am now because
when I was a sidekick, I failed
to save someone in peril.
[MC A] I heard about that,
but it wasn't your fault.
With the crime rate as
high as it is, there's--
[CRIMSON RIOT]
I don't think you understand.
That day, I hesitated,
and somebody lost their life
because my spirit was weak.
Yes, I'm frightened
when I fight a villain,
knowing it could
end in my death.
But there's something
I fear more.
The look on someone's
face as they die.
That's far worse.
It's the fear of seeing that
look again that drives me.
[MC A] Can you tell me
what chivalry means to you?
[CRIMSON RIOT]
Having a strong spirit.
It isn't a matter of being bold,
or confident, or fearless.
I'm a hero and I've
sworn to protect people.
It's a vow I've written on my
heart and one I'll die to keep.
You want to know what
chivalry means to me?
Living a life with no regrets.
[FRIEND A]
You serious, E?
[KIRISHIMA]
Yeah, I am.
[KIRISHIMA] I won't freeze
like that again. Ever.
[KIRISHIMA]
I'm sorry!
I saw that guy threatening
you, but I panicked.
I was too scared to move.
Um. Who is he?
Pretty sure he's in Class .
[STUDENT A]
Don't worry about it.
Anyone would be scared.
[STUDENT B]
Mina's just special, that's all.
[KIRISHIMA grunts]
[screams] What is up
with that hair?
Get a new look for high school?
You've got horns, like me!
[KIRISHIMA]
Yeah! So what if I do?
I'm not gonna regret
stuff anymore.
Not ever! I'll protect
people, like a hero!
I'm not the pathetic
loser I used to be!
[ASHIDO] What happened
that day, with the villain.
It was really tough on you.
More than it was on us.
So? What's it to you?
[ASHIDO] Don't be too eager
to change who you are!
That hurts!
Actually, it doesn't,
but what the heck?
Once you get over yourself
let me know, okay?
I'm being nice and
holding back for now.
But someday I'm
gonna tell everyone
about your little
makeover. He, he, he!
Thank you.
[KIRISHIMA] I've been in a ton
of scary situations since then.
But one thing's
always frightened me
more than anything else.
[groans]
[RAPPA]
You're kidding, right?
How are you still standing?
[FAT GUM]
You think I'm just a shield,
and that mistake's gonna
cost you this fight.
I've been absorbing
every blow you dealt me,
sinking each one into my
body and storing its power.
Doing that takes energy
and burns the fat
that protects me from
taking serious damage.
So my defense is getting weaker,
but I'll take those punches,
and forge a spear that
can shatter any shield!
[TENGAI]
Rappa! He's up to something!
Finish him, quickly!
[FAT GUM]
It's time to strike.
But he's worn me down
more than I expected.
Not sure I'm ready to unleash
the power I've absorbed!
[RAPPA]
Show me what you've got!
Don't hold anything back!
Red!
[KIRISHIMA] I won't regret
anything! Now or ever again!
[KIRISHIMA]
I'll do it. I'll become a hero.
I'll protect people!
[RAPPA] He was blown away
so easily earlier!
[KIRISHIMA] If I crack,
then I'll harden again!
Stay strong! Protect others!
Even if it means your life!
All right, kid! Let's go!
[yells]
A shield, now?
[TENGAI]
Of course. Don't be a fool.
Nothing can overcome the
strength of my defense.
The boy's attack was in vain.
[FAT GUM]
It wasn't in vain!
[TENGAI gasps]
[FAT GUM]
Thank you, Red!
You bought me the time I needed!
Tengai! Take this thing down!
The two of you are gonna lose.
Do you wanna know why?
[TENGAI]
My wall will stand!
[RAPPA]
I'm not so sure.
[FAT GUM] You made a
mistake. And so did I.
We underestimated the
hero named Red Riot,
and his chivalrous spirit!
A spear and a shield.
The victory is ours.
[IZUKU]
Here's the preview!
We're moving as quickly
as we can to save Eri,
but Hassakai's Irinaka
used his Quirk
to trap us in
an underground maze.
Ururaka and the others.
Amajaki. Kirishima.
They've given their all
to get us this far.
I won't let the
Hassakai stop us now!
Next time: "Temp Squad."
Wait, what are these
guys doing here?
Go beyond. Plus Ultra!
The neurotoxin should
be circulating
throughout your bodies
at this point.
You're not gonna
die, but I doubt
you'll be doing any
running for a while.
Oh, and I'll be taking
these masks with me.
Who knows what kinda tricks
you might have
hidden inside them?
[AMAJIKI gasps]
[AMAJIKI]
That took me too long.
Wonder how far ahead
the others are now.
I need to catch up.
[thud]
[AMAJIKI] Huh. I guess I was
hurt worse than I thought.
[AMAJIKI] Huh. I guess I was
hurt worse than I thought.
[POLICE, HEROES panting]
[KIRISHIMA]
Oh, man. Amajiki.
I'm really worried about him.
[FAT GUM] Not even the first
years think he can do this.
Guess one moment of confidence
doesn't mean much
if they haven't seen
him do anything
to back it up, but still.
Listen!
You've left a comrade
to guard your back,
and if you're a real man,
you'll trust him!
Yeah, he'll handle
it, no problem!
It doesn't take much to
change your mind, does it?
[KIRISHIMA] Fat's right! All we
can do is have faith in him!
[FAT GUM] We can't afford
to waste a second
of the time Suneater bought us!
All right! Let's go!
[ROCK LOCK]
Kid needs to calm down.
[AIZAWA] Strange. The guy
who was manipulating
the building seems to have
eased off for some reason.
Yeah, you're right.
It's not twisting anymore.
[AIZAWA] I'd expect him
to throw as many obstacles
in our way as he
could to trip us up.
If he's not, maybe that
means his awareness
and control don't extend
through the entire place.
There's also the police
squad up above.
It's possible he decided
to focus all his attention
on them instead.
So there's a limit to how much
of the building
he can keep tabs on?
[AIZAWA] It's just a theory,
but maybe rather than having
been assimilated into it,
he's moving around inside
the walls to monitor
what's going on.
So when he does take
control of an area,
perhaps his true body is nearby.
[MIMIC] They only managed
to stop one of the heroes?
Garbage or not, those three
are supposed to be strong.
[AIZAWA] If he pokes an
actual eye or an ear out
to keep track of us,
that'll be all it takes.
[MIMIC gasps]
That's right.
[AIZAWA]
I just need to see him.
[MIMIC]
It's his fault!
[BUBBLE GIRL]
I can't believe you all came out
to try and stop us.
It seems crazy to me.
[HASSAIKAI MEMBER E]
Well, it's not.
Fighting you people was
the only sane option.
We couldn't just sit it out.
If we did, Overhaul would've
k*lled us without a thought.
Overhaul. You're
talking about Chisaki?
[HASSAIKAI MEMBER E] Yeah,
it's what he started callin'

The boss valued the old ways.
He wanted the yakuza

even in these new times.
We're not like villains;
the Hassaikai have integrity.
He didn't want us to
be seen as just another
group of low-life thugs.
He's who we respected.
We trusted him.
The young head gave
himself a villain's name.
Allowed scum to join us.
He makes decisions on his own,
doesn't care what
the rest of us want.
Thinks he's the only one
whose vote matters.
The boss's in bad shape.
Can't even talk, and
we know who to blame.
Watch it.
As much as you dislike Chisaki,
you seem pretty sure that
we're not gonna catch him.
[HASSAIKAI MEMBER D]
You don't stand a chance.
Whackjob like him?
Doesn't care about consequences
or even his own future?
Those are the ones you
have to watch out for.
It's what makes
them so dangerous.
Eraser!
[AIZAWA] He wants to
knock me out of the fight
before I can get eyes on him.
[MIMIC] If those idiots
can't handle their job,
I'll just have to take
care of these guys myself!
[AIZAWA]
No!
[FAT GUM]
If we don't stop this guy,
then Tamaki will've
stayed behind for nothing.
Come on, Eraser,
time to do your thing!
[AIZAWA]
Be careful, Fat!
[KIRISHIMA muffled grunting]
Where'd you come from?
I jumped out in
front of Mr. Aizawa.
[KIRISHIMA] I figured I
wouldn't take any damage.
But then you jumped
and I kinda got stuck.
Well, nothin' we can do now.
Get ready. We're not alone.
[KIRISHIMA]
Go ahead, punch me.
[KIRISHIMA]
I'll smash your fist to pieces!
[KIRISHIMA grunts]
[FAT GUM gasps]
You good?
[FAT GUM gasps]
[panting]
No. My arms are...
[RAPPA]

Knives and g*ns got

[FAT GUM gasps]
What?
[FAT GUM]
Looks like some kinda barrier.
[TENGAI]
So, we have Fat Gum and a boy
with a hardening Quirk.
Mm... They're both better
suited for defense.
Disappointing, isn't it, Rappa?
[RAPPA grunts]
[groans]
[FAT GUM] I can feel his
blows even through my fat.
Each punch is like a b*llet.
[RAPPA]
You call that a good defense?
They're both lookin'
rough already.
I mean, they're not
mincemeat yet, but still.
[FAT GUM] These two weren't
on the Quirk list we got.
Did they bring in outside help?
One makes a barrier and the
other rains down punches.
This'll be a tricky
pair to fight.
[TENGAI]
We are a spear and a shield.
Whereas you are
simply two shields.
[RAPPA]
Wait, hold on.
Who'd wanna fight with
two shields? Sounds lame.
[TENGAI] To be fair,
I don't know whether that boy
even qualifies as one.
[KIRISHIMA]
My arms cracked. Man, it hurts.
I couldn't absorb the blow.
Another barrage like
that, and I'm done.
I thought I'd gotten stronger.
Damn it! I'm still weak.
[FAT GUM]
Remember, you're unbreakable!
[KIRISHIMA gasps]
If you let them
break your spirit,
that means you've lost!
When you're up against villains,
the key is making 'em lose
their will to fight first!
You can't lose your
drive before they do!
Now, let's take
those two fatheads
down and get outta here.
The others are waitin' for us!
[TENGAI]
They believe they can defeat us.
You must be thrilled.
[RAPPA] I like the way
that fat guy thinks!
All right. This is
startin' to get good.
Get rid of this
damn thing, Tengai.
I don't need a stupid
bubble to keep me safe.
[TENGAI]
Rise above your own desires.
Remember what
Master Overhaul said.
He paired us for a reason.
Our skills complement each
other, ensuring victory.
[RAPPA groans]
[TENGAI] What do you hope
such v*olence will accomplish?
[RAPPA] Overhaul didn't ask if
I wanted to team up with you.
[TENGAI] "Master Overhaul."
Show some respect.
[RAPPA] Who cares? All I
want is a good deathmatch.
[TENGAI]
Very well.
If you think you can
take them yourself,
by all means.
[RAPPA]
That's more like it.
You're not so bad after all!
[FAT GUM] When I get in close,
I can't dodge his hits.
And there's so much
strength behind them
that not even I can
absorb all the damage.
He'll wear me down till
I've got nothin' left.
They were arguing
before, but I'm sure
the other guy'll put up a shield
if his partner needs one.
It felt like an iron wall
when I punched it earlier.
My power isn't enough
to take it down.
We won't be able to win while
that guy's still standin'.
Despite what I said,
Kirishima's in rough shape
But I've got no choice.
I have to face them. Get this
wrong, and I might die.
But if I don't try at all,
we're dead for sure.
Fat Gum.
[FAT GUM]
Your name's Rappa, right?
It's been a while since
I've been hit that hard.
And I've done a decent amount
of fighting over the years, too.
In the end, it's all
gonna come down
to what happens first.
Your arms get tired
or my body gives out.
Which is stronger?
Spear or shield?
I guess we're about to
find out, aren't we?
[RAPPA] All right! You
totally get me, Fatso!
Tengai, remember.
[TENGAI]
No barriers.
[RAPPA] Yeah! This is
gonna be awesome, guys!
[KIRISHIMA]
Fat. He's protecting me.
Even though those
punches are obviously
wearing him down.
What is wrong with me?
I was so sure I'd gotten
stronger! But then...
He broke through
my ultimate move
with a single attack.
And now I'm just in the way.
[FAT GUM] He keeps getting
faster and each hit hurts
worse than the last.
Am I gonna be able to
hold out long enough?
[RAPPA] Come on,
Wideload, hang in there.
You can't pass out on me yet!
We've got a long way to go and
I'm just gettin' warmed up!
[KIRISHIMA] Damn it.
I can't just stand here.
I have to do something.
Fat Gum's gonna die!
Because of me!
Useless bastard!
Your Hardening cracks
and there's nothing
worthwhile underneath!
[KIRISHIMA]
Can't I do anything?
[TENGAI]
The boy won't be a problem.
He's already finished.
You can see it in his eyes.
[KIRISHIMA]
It's just like it was back then.
Nothing's changed. Nothing.
[DELINQUENT A]
Hey, there. We heard about you.
You're the guy who can change
leaves into money, right?
Nice Quirk, man.
So make these into
some bills quick, dude.
We're kinda short on cash.
[STUDENT A]
I can't do paper bills!
And anyway, it wears
off really quickly.
[DELINQUENT A] Then we'll
just have to spend them
really quickly, won't we?
I can't! You guys, seriously!
What's up?
You bullyin' a kid for
some chump change?
That's not very manly, jerks!
Who's that?
Third year. Kirishima.
[DELINQUENT B]
Here he comes!
[DELINQUENT A]
I got him.
[KIRISHIMA grunts]
He's not actually that strong.
His Quirk just makes his
body a little bit harder.
Bastard!
[DELINQUENT A]
Now let's go.
[KIRISHIMA yelps]
Get back here!
[FRIEND A]
Forget about it, Kirishima.
You were watching?
Why are you always sticking
your neck out like that, man?
It doesn't matter
what your Quirk is
if you have an honorable heart!
That's what the Chivalrous Hero:
Crimson Riot believes!
No one believes stuff
like that anymore.
Like the pros say.
Your body moves before
your brain can think!
Which means...
[FRIEND A]
It's Mina Ashido, from Class .
[KIRISHIMA]
She's really laying into 'em.
[FRIEND A]
And now they're getting along?
[FRIEND B]
Hold on, are they break dancing?
[FRIEND A]
They're leaving!
[FRIEND B]
And no one got hurt!
What in the world just happened?
Hey! There you are!
Mina! We're going
shopping, wanna come?
Yeah!
I hear that Ashido
is applying to UA.
Her Quirk's strong and
her reflexes are great.
People like her, and she's
got a super flashy look.
It's all about
entertainment value
and approval ratings these days.
That's what people are
looking for in a hero.
Yeah, and Ashido's
got that covered.
She's definitely hero material.
[KIRISHIMA]
What about me?
My Hardening is pretty weak,
and it's nothing flashy.
Kinda boring.
But if you have
a chivalrous heart,
it doesn't matter
what your Quirk is.
Train your body as
hard as you can
and your spirit will make up
for your Quirk's weakness!
Or at least that's
what I thought.
Hey, speaking of high school.
I'm kinda thinking
I might go for UA, too.
Please. Normal people like us
don't grow up
to be heroes, idiot.
Hey, E. You wanna apply
to Droid Tech together?
Oh. I dunno.
I haven't really thought about
it that much, so... Heh.
[KIRISHIMA] As lame as it
sounds, seeing somebody
like Ashido in action
got me thinking.
What if I had a flashier Quirk?
Would that give me
the confidence I need
to apply for the
hero course at UA?
[DJ A] We're looking at
another sunny day tomorrow...
[KIRISHIMA]
What... is that?
[GIGANTO MACHIA]
The Springer Hero Agency.
Tell me where it is.
[STUDENTS gasping]
[GIGANTO MACHIA] What?
You're not gonna answer me?
[KIRISHIMA] Crap, why aren't
there ever any heroes
patrolling at times like these?
Someone... No.
I can do it!
[GIGANTO MACHIA]
It's a simple question.
Why won't you tell me?
[KIRISHIMA]
Move! Come on!
Around that corner and then
make a left at the big street!
The agency's two
kilometers away!
Thank you very much.
[GIGANTO MACHIA]
Everything is for my master.
You guys! That was scary!
Thank you! You saved us!
[STUDENT B]
If you hadn't stopped him,
he would've squashed
us for sure!
[ASHIDO] I lied and
sent him to the police,
let's hurry and get out of here!
[KIRISHIMA]
I froze. Why didn't I go? Why?
[KIRISHIMA] In the spring,
guy the same age as me
was in the news for fighting
back against a villain.
Everyone was talking about him,
but there were witnesses
who said that just before
All Might showed up, another
kid--his friend, maybe--
rushed in to help.
My spirit's not making
up for anything.
When you're really scared...
When your life is
really on the line...
That's when your
true colors show.
Facing danger,
and choosing to take
that next step forward,
that's what makes
a person hero material.
I'm not a hero.
I'm not even a man.
[KIRISHIMA] My mom told
me that the first time
my Quirk appeared,
I accidentally cut my eye.
For a while after that,
I whined and cried about
how much I hated my power.
Thinking about it now,
that's probably
why I admired him so much.
I hated my own Quirk,
but his was similar.
He stood tall and risked
his life to save others.
[CRIMSON RIOT]
That's not it, is it?
--[KIRISHIMA gasps]
--[MC A] No, I'm sorry!
[KIRISHIMA] Oh. That came
with a book on great heroes
I got for my birthday
a while ago.
Guess I never got
around to watching it.
[MC A] If you're ready,
we'll start the interview.
[CRIMSON RIOT]
Right, hit me!
[MC A] Even among heroes,
you have a reputation
for being a bit... reckless,
often rushing
headlong into danger.
Tell me, are you ever
afraid in those situations?
[CRIMSON RIOT]
What kind of question is that?
Of course I'm afraid!
Show me somebody who's not
afraid of facing death,
and I'll show you an idiot!
[KIRISHIMA] I never understood
what he was about before.
Not really, anyway.
I just thought he was cool
for charging full-force
into everything.
[CRIMSON RIOT]
I'm where I am now because
when I was a sidekick, I failed
to save someone in peril.
[MC A] I heard about that,
but it wasn't your fault.
With the crime rate as
high as it is, there's--
[CRIMSON RIOT]
I don't think you understand.
That day, I hesitated,
and somebody lost their life
because my spirit was weak.
Yes, I'm frightened
when I fight a villain,
knowing it could
end in my death.
But there's something
I fear more.
The look on someone's
face as they die.
That's far worse.
It's the fear of seeing that
look again that drives me.
[MC A] Can you tell me
what chivalry means to you?
[CRIMSON RIOT]
Having a strong spirit.
It isn't a matter of being bold,
or confident, or fearless.
I'm a hero and I've
sworn to protect people.
It's a vow I've written on my
heart and one I'll die to keep.
You want to know what
chivalry means to me?
Living a life with no regrets.
[FRIEND A]
You serious, E?
[KIRISHIMA]
Yeah, I am.
[KIRISHIMA] I won't freeze
like that again. Ever.
[KIRISHIMA]
I'm sorry!
I saw that guy threatening
you, but I panicked.
I was too scared to move.
Um. Who is he?
Pretty sure he's in Class .
[STUDENT A]
Don't worry about it.
Anyone would be scared.
[STUDENT B]
Mina's just special, that's all.
[KIRISHIMA grunts]
[screams] What is up
with that hair?
Get a new look for high school?
You've got horns, like me!
[KIRISHIMA]
Yeah! So what if I do?
I'm not gonna regret
stuff anymore.
Not ever! I'll protect
people, like a hero!
I'm not the pathetic
loser I used to be!
[ASHIDO] What happened
that day, with the villain.
It was really tough on you.
More than it was on us.
So? What's it to you?
[ASHIDO] Don't be too eager
to change who you are!
That hurts!
Actually, it doesn't,
but what the heck?
Once you get over yourself
let me know, okay?
I'm being nice and
holding back for now.
But someday I'm
gonna tell everyone
about your little
makeover. He, he, he!
Thank you.
[KIRISHIMA] I've been in a ton
of scary situations since then.
But one thing's
always frightened me
more than anything else.
[groans]
[RAPPA]
You're kidding, right?
How are you still standing?
[FAT GUM]
You think I'm just a shield,
and that mistake's gonna
cost you this fight.
I've been absorbing
every blow you dealt me,
sinking each one into my
body and storing its power.
Doing that takes energy
and burns the fat
that protects me from
taking serious damage.
So my defense is getting weaker,
but I'll take those punches,
and forge a spear that
can shatter any shield!
[TENGAI]
Rappa! He's up to something!
Finish him, quickly!
[FAT GUM]
It's time to strike.
But he's worn me down
more than I expected.
Not sure I'm ready to unleash
the power I've absorbed!
[RAPPA]
Show me what you've got!
Don't hold anything back!
Red!
[KIRISHIMA] I won't regret
anything! Now or ever again!
[KIRISHIMA]
I'll do it. I'll become a hero.
I'll protect people!
[RAPPA] He was blown away
so easily earlier!
[KIRISHIMA] If I crack,
then I'll harden again!
Stay strong! Protect others!
Even if it means your life!
All right, kid! Let's go!
[yells]
A shield, now?
[TENGAI]
Of course. Don't be a fool.
Nothing can overcome the
strength of my defense.
The boy's attack was in vain.
[FAT GUM]
It wasn't in vain!
[TENGAI gasps]
[FAT GUM]
Thank you, Red!
You bought me the time I needed!
Tengai! Take this thing down!
The two of you are gonna lose.
Do you wanna know why?
[TENGAI]
My wall will stand!
[RAPPA]
I'm not so sure.
[FAT GUM] You made a
mistake. And so did I.
We underestimated the
hero named Red Riot,
and his chivalrous spirit!
A spear and a shield.
The victory is ours.
[IZUKU]
Here's the preview!
We're moving as quickly
as we can to save Eri,
but Hassakai's Irinaka
used his Quirk
to trap us in
an underground maze.
Ururaka and the others.
Amajaki. Kirishima.
They've given their all
to get us this far.
I won't let the
Hassakai stop us now!
Next time: "Temp Squad."
Wait, what are these
guys doing here?
Go beyond. Plus Ultra!
