04x21 - (D) Deku vs. Gentle Criminal
Posted: 03/26/23 15:56
[IZUKU]
Tomorrow's finally the day.
It's the school festival!
We'll have to clear
outta the gym soon!
But we should have enough time
for one more run through!
Look alive!
And one, and two, and three.
And one, and two,
and three. And pose!
Then Aoyama goes to the center
and Midoriya books it offstage.
--[IZUKU] On it!
--[AOYAMA] Oui.
Midoriya. You're still
lacking passion.
So bring the fire!
[IZUKU]
Roger!
I was scared we were
gonna seem like amateurs.
But things are looking good.
The band and dance teams
are stepping up their games
and putting in the work.
Guess it helps that
Ashido's a merciless coach.
Yeah.
Dancing's her thing,
so she's taking this seriously.
Let's m*rder everyone
in UA with k*ller music!
I think Bakugo
fired everyone up.
And not just the band members.
I'll admit, I am getting
a little nervous.
Hey, don't improvise
during the actual concert.
Huh?!
It's just, not everyone
can keep up with you.
Why you gotta drag
me like that, Jiro?
I don't think you're the only
one she's talking about, friend.
We need you up on that catwalk,
like, yesterday, so hurry.
When Aoyama's in place,
get him in the air.
Wee!
[ASHIDO]
That's it! Perfect!
[HOUND DOG]
It's already o'clock!
Students should've cleared
out of the gym by now!
[KIRISHIMA]
Crap. Let's beat it.
[IZUKU] No more rehearsing.
Just one more sleep.
Then, at AM,
the school festival begins!
Woo! I can't sleep!
Yeah, right? I'm stupid excited!
Not so loud! People
are sleeping upstairs.
I just hope the audience
will be that enthusiastic.
It's probably better if we don't
think about it very much.
Being embarrassed.
Worrying what others
are thinking.
That'll k*ll our vibe.
We should focus on having fun.
That's what really matters.
Yeah, says the girl who was
super scared to front the band!
Well, after what
you've all said.
If I didn't do it.
It wouldn't be rockin' at all.
Shut up, that was a totally
different situation.
What Jiro said is
good advice for more
than just the performance.
Oui. When you try to
make others feel good,
you end up raising
your own spirits, too.
[IZUKU]
Exactly.
Ah-- This rope is so frayed.
[AOYAMA]
Mon dieu!
We put it through some
abuse during practice.
It's physical proof of
our blossoming friendship!
But it's dangerous.
I should have
noticed this before.
Yaoyorozu will make
you a new one.
And some tea.
Yaomomo is in bed already.
And don't treat her like
your own personal factory.
But people use me as a phone
charger on the regular.
That's 'cause men
get no respect.
Nah. I'll go buy a
new one in the morning.
It's my fault for not noticing.
And this'll work out.
I'm up early for
training anyway.
Okay, but the performance
is at tomorrow.
And most places
don't open till .
[IZUKU] There's a hardware store
about minutes from UA.
That place opens at AM,
so I'll hit it up.
[KAMINARI] That's cutting it
pretty close, dude.
Well, goodnight. I really
should be getting to sleep.
Before you go,
how about we night owls
make a final promise!
To do our best.
We're gonna pull this off.
And rock everyone at UA!
[GROUP]
Yeah! line: %
[IZUKU] And then, on the day
of the school festival...
[IZUKU] Continuous Full Cowling
at eight percent,
and then switch to percent
for a single moment
when I flick.
[rustling]
There you are, Midoriya.
I knew you'd be here!
[IZUKU]
Hatsume, you're so dirty!
[HATSUME giggles] Ignore
the dark circles and grime.
I knew I'd find you training
even though it's the big day.
I got the gloves
you asked for to work,
so I came to deliver
them in person.
Ah, wow, these are so cool!
Thank you so much, though,
you could've waited until
after the festival.
[HATSUME] When it's over, I'm
going to sleep for hours!
[ALL MIGHT]
Can I take a look?
Yeah. Of course.
[ALL MIGHT] The gear I tried out
was too bulky to be functional,
even though it was for only
- percent of my power.
Support items can be so
compact these days, it's crazy.
The gloves should
also complement
the rest of your costume!
'Cause you see,
a good designer is able to
satisfy the client in one go!
So what do you think of 'em?
[IZUKU] I love them.
Seriously, they're awesome.
These should definitely
help with my new moves.
Here's the manual! See ya!
Uh, thanks again.
Good luck today!
How 'bout we give
'em a trial run?
[IZUKU]
Yes, sir! line: %
[IZUKU]
Not good! line: %
It took a while to get
used to the gloves, line: %
so I ended up
practicing too long.
I was hoping they'd sell rope
at the convenience store, line: %
but I guess it's more
of a specialty item. line: %
The clock's ticking.
I need to hurry!
[IZUKU] Rope acquired. I should
have time to make it back.
[GENTLE]
Dear me!
I'm sorry!
[GENTLE]
Do be careful.
You almost ruined the aftertaste
of the Gold Tips Imperial,
a travesty I would not
be able to ignore.
[GENTLE]
Drat! He caught me off-guard.
Not good. Why did
I open my mouth?
I must avoid all contact
en route to the school.
[GENTLE]
Come, let us go, La Br-- Honey.
[LA BRAVA] Honey? Oh. Yes,
that's me. Honey!
[IZUKU]
Did he say Gold Tips? Right.
The fancy stuff
Yaoyorozu made for us.
Oh. Interesting.
If he just had tea, I guess that
house is some kind of café.
[LA BRAVA]
Gentle?!
[GENTLE laughs] You must be
familiar with Gold Tips Imperial
if you had this realization.
You're obviously a boy
of refined taste!
Always a pleasure to meet
a fellow connoisseur.
Even if you are just a lad.
Um, well. I don't
really know that much.
My friend made that tea
for us recently is all.
[IZUKU] I feel like I've
heard this voice before.
[GENTLE] Oh. You undoubtedly
run in high-class circles.
[GENTLE] Which would suggest
he goes to an elite school!
[GENTLE]
I mean, you have a wise friend.
[GENTLE]
Oh, no.
Yes. I'm lucky.
She's my classmate.
[IZUKU]
Wait a minute.
[GENTLE] How delightful
to hear, young man.
[GENTLE]
This child is from UA!
[IZUKU]
That voice. The tea!
She says it's like super rare.
[IZUKU]
Whoa, really? Thanks, Yaoyorozu!
It smells great!
[GENTLE] Whenever I'm
preparing my personal kettle.
I select a tea that correlates
to the size of my current job.
Be sure to stay tuned in.
My next video will be an alarm.
Not just to my faithful viewers,
but to all of society.
[GENTLE]
Now, if you'll pardon me--
[IZUKU]
No way.
[GENTLE]
Excitement got the better of me.
Such is the seduction
of fine tea.
Now, a swift exit.
[IZUKU]
Tell me something.
That tea was part
of your ritual, right?
[LA BRAVA] You can't
blame yourself, Gentle!
It couldn't be
helped! And now...
[LA BRAVA, GENTLE]
It's too late.
The second an alarm sounds,
we'll have to shut
down and evacuate.
Those were the terms
the police agreed upon.
[GENTLE]
Ritual?
Whatever do you mean?
[IZUKU]
I saw your video.
[IZUKU]
Please...
La Brava. It's time
to bring out the camera.
[IZUKU]
You can't do this.
[ERI]
I can see how hard
everyone is working
on the festival,
and I do wanna know
how it all turns out.
[IZUKU] I don't care
what you have planned.
I won't let you near my school!
[IZUKU]
I won't let you near my school!
Well, aren't you
a perceptive young man?
[LA BRAVA]
Wait. Do I know him?
[IZUKU] Saturday morning,
no people around!
No hero agencies near UA,
so I can't expect backup.
And I have no idea
what this guy can do.
If I could ask the café
to call the police--
[IZUKU]
No!
La Brava, there's been
a slight change of plan.
From this moment on, no matter
what, don't stop filming!
Oh, I'm all over it, Gentle!
But, are you going to fight
on the street? Right here?
What about your master plan?
My dearest viewers!
I believe it's time to give
you a taste of my hijinks!
[GENTLE] Try not to be so
dazzled that you avert your eyes
as your favorite scoundrel
shows off his talents.
Gentle Criminal,
at your service!
My plans have shifted.
Due to our current predicament,
I shall keep my words brief.
For this caper...
I will infiltrate
UA High School!
So cool!
[IZUKU]
So not cool.
I won't let you do that!
I conjured up this barrier
as I cast off my overcoat!
If you've seen my videos,
then you should already know.
My Quirk is Elasticity.
I bestow said property
to anything I touch.
And I do mean anything,
even the air itself.
Gently Rebound!
[IZUKU yelps]
I abhor using v*olence
to solve my problems.
[LA BRAVA] Yeah, but
that move was intense.
I find myself completely
confounded in this moment,
La Brava darling.
His speed and power
are startling
and unexpected from a boy
so young. Quite odd.
Sorry to cut and run,
but the show must go on!
[IZUKU] Don't apologize,
just stay away from my school!
[GENTLE] Clever boy.
But no such luck for you.
Gently... Trampoline!
[IZUKU yelps]
[GENTLE]
When I was a student, I, too,
worked hard to put
on social events.
I'm sure you have feelings
invested in this festival.
But they can't win
against the desires
of my mustache and my soul!
This scheme is a
crucial step toward
my becoming a legend.
Be a dear and stay
out of my way.
Cheerio, lad. Hope you
stick the landing.
Hey, Gentle, I know where
I've seen him before!
That boy is named
Izuku Midoriya!
He broke his fingers on purpose
during the sports festival.
He's totally crazy.
By Jove!
We'd better get out
of here post haste.
We'll carry out the plan before
he's able to alert his peers. line: %
Hello again, my friends. line: %
The outrageous scheme that's
currently in progress
has now become a race
against the clock!
Sorry, you two. My break
is almost over. I'm off.
Okay! Just so you know,
I'm lookin' forward to
seeing you get down, too!
Deku, you're leaving already?
I'm sorry. But I have
to go to practice.
[MIRIO] The three of us can
explore the fest as a trio
after Midoriya's done
shakin' his stuff!
[ERI]
Deku. Lemillion.
I'm getting kind of excited.
[GENTLE] I'm sure you
have feelings invested
in this festival. But they
can't win against the desires
of my mustache and my soul!
[JIRO] Midoriya, I know
you're always scribbling
a ton of stuff down
in your notebooks.
So what's it look like in there?
[IZUKU] Why, is there a hero
you wanna know more about, Jiro?
[JIRO] No, I just wanted to see
how you organize your notes.
I'm trying to figure out how to
highlight the important stuff.
I write down way too much.
Got any advice?
[IZUKU]
Advice for the band members?
Wow, you came up
with these lessons?
That's awesome!
This makes me so happy!
I hope everyone else
feels the same way.
Since you guys convinced me
my music has a purpose,
I've actually gotten
pretty enthusiastic.
It's possible I went
a little bit overboard.
Tokoyami! I told you.
Strums like your life
depends on it, bird brain!
You think you can
destroy UA's ears
with weak-ass riffs like that?
Where's the grit?
Do you understand
what he wants?
Sort of. Check out lesson three.
[TOKOYAMI]
Hm...
You're done, Gentle Criminal!
[IZUKU]
I have to stop him!
[ALL MIGHT] It's still hard for
you to sh**t consecutively
or while moving around.
I wish I were on the ground.
Gotta calm down.
I'll mess up if I panic.
Can't let them escape.
I need to land. Focus.
No good! You're still not
nailing it down, Midoriya.
As you move, you've gotta stay
focused and in the moment.
So you wanna be able to
direct wind pressure, huh?
[IZUKU] Mm-hm. I need more
control over my blasts,
especially if I'll be
fighting in a city.
[IZUKU] The more types of
att*cks I have, the better.
[IZUKU] Let's try this.
Delaware Smash. Air Force!
Gah! Some kind of air cannon?
All right!
[GENTLE]
That's not enough to stop me!
I will not be discouraged!
I won't let you ruin this
for my entire school!
Dear boy, that's not
your decision.
Gentle, no!
Looks like somethin'
fishy's goin on.
[LA BRAVA]
Nothing to see here, mister!
We're just filming
a little project!
You think you can tell your
neighbors to stay away, too?
This fib's only going
to buy us a little time.
I know you don't wanna hear it,
Gentle, but at this point,
it would be smart to retreat!
[IZUKU]
Thank you, Hatsume!
[HATSUME] Mm-hm! So currently,
you're sh**ting air forward
in a wide arc that's
hard to control.
What you need is
one of my babies
to help you fire off
b*ll*ts of air
so you can hit precise targets!
You've been practicing this
move with your fingers,
but I bet someday you
can incorporate it
into your sh**t Style, too,
using your iron soles!
That's it! Nice work!
[IZUKU]
Thank you, Ashido!
That extra dance practice
is already coming in handy!
[IZUKU pants]
Where is he?
[GENTLE]
What an unexpected turn.
This won't do at all.
However, one must keep
a sense of humor
about such things,
mustn't one? Ha, ha, ha!
Isn't it about time
to drop the act?
My plan will be
a smashing success!
This is but a delay!
Minor setbacks don't
worry a gentleman.
[IZUKU] He's not giving up.
The festival's still in danger.
Yes. That is the resolve
of Gentle Criminal!
[IZUKU]
You're no gentleman!
I know you're planning
to do something to UA.
What do you want with my school?
You'd like to know
my scheme, eh?
When's this gonna be on TV?
What channel?
Ruffian though I may
be, I implore you
not to confuse me with
those foul wretches
from the League of Villains.
[LA BRAVA]
Gentle! My beloved Gentle!
You see, I have no
palate for kidnapping
or m*rder or any such rubbish.
I simply wish to sneak
into your school festival
so the world knows that I
am indeed a master criminal.
[LA BRAVA]
Please!
Don't let him defeat you!
[GENTLE]
Now, kindly let me go.
[LA BRAVA]
He's pleading for his life!
You have to know the campus
is on an emergency alert.
Someone's bound to catch
you before you sneak in,
which'll set off
all kinds of alarms.
We'll have to notify the police.
The school festival
will be cancelled,
and you'll end up in jail!
So give up now.
Oh-ho. I don't fear
being detected.
My partner has devised
an ingenious way
to disable every
security sensor.
Nothing will be canceled
and my dastardly plan
will be a success.
It's a win-win
situation, my boy!
[IZUKU] That's a win for you,
but a disaster for us!
[GENTLE]
Fair enough.
[LA BRAVA]
A rhetorical defeat!
[GENTLE] So, now you're aware
of my nefarious scheme.
It's been lovely
chatting with you.
But I best bid you goodbye
and be on my way.
I've already called
the authorities!
Stay put.
The police and the pro heroes
will be here any minute now.
[IZUKU]
Come on, come on.
Please let this bluff work.
I don't think so.
While the aftertaste
of the tea remains,
I'll make certain you can't
ruin my machinations.
[IZUKU] Predict your
opponent's movements, and...
[IZUKU]
No. I can't. He's too fast!
[gasps]
[grunts]
[IZUKU] What's happening
to the beams? There he is!
I know your game now,
but I can bounce your
air b*ll*ts back easily.
Gentle.
I hate to say it, but maybe
we should head back to base!
[GENTLE]
No, La Brava.
I'll prevail.
Got to catch him!
[GENTLE]
Now, boy.
Do pay close attention
to what I'm about to say.
I can't cancel the
effects of my Quirk.
The things I elasticize return
to normal gradually over time.
Imagine how the structural
integrity of this steel
is affected by this
unnatural bounce.
Oh, and did I mention
that I thought it prudent
to remove the bolts from
the one I'm standing upon?
Just think,
should this beam fall,
the havoc it would
wreak on anything
or any one below.
Somethin's shaking up there.
[IZUKU gasps]
You're a UA student, yes?
[GENTLE]
If someone's in danger...
[GENTLE]
...you'll step in.
Not a m*rder*r, huh?
You just tried to
k*ll that old guy!
[GENTLE] Not at all. I simply
wanted to keep you occupied.
I planned to bounce the
beam out of the way myself
if you didn't step in
for some reason.
That looks scary.
This must be the big climax!
[GENTLE] I thought you'd
simply rush for the chap.
I see you really do
have frightening levels
of speed and power.
I hate to leave you
under such a strain,
but stay put and bear
the pain patiently.
Help will arrive soon,
and you'll be saved.
I shall be done
filming by that point.
[GENTLE]
Grab hold, La Brava.
[LA BRAVA]
That's harsh, Gentle!
You're playing dirty!
[GENTLE] My partner has
devised an ingenious way
to disable every
security sensor.
I simply wish to sneak
into your school festival.
[IZUKU] No. This can't
be how the fight ends. line: %
[KAMINARI] It's almost time!
My nerves are killin' me. line: %
Just take a few deep breaths. line: %
Try to center
yourself, Kaminari.
Are you sweating, Yaomomo?
We went through the trouble
of having shirts made,
so put yours on, Bakugo.
The dance outfits
are super cute!
And all we did was
jazz up some dresses.
If I could de-wrinkle it!
[MINETA]
Still super sexy!
Midoriya isn't here.
He went to buy rope earlier.
But he should be back by now.
Right? It's odd.
He'll be here.
Our timeline has
changed, La Brava,
but if they're on their guard
and I still manage to sneak in,
then I may yet attain
notoriety I seek!
As a man who accomplished
a great feat,
history will remember my name!
He's still fighting?
I see some of you in that boy.
Neither of you are
going to give up!
I think it's time.
Let's use my Quirk!
[IZUKU]
Here's the preview!
The moment Gentle Criminal
sneaks into UA,
the school festival
will be cancelled.
All our hard work will
have been for nothing!
For the sake of
everybody involved,
especially Eri, I have to
stop this eccentric villain!
It's time for me to rely
on my new moves,
and show how much I've learned
from training with All Might.
Next time:
"School Festival Start!"
La Brava's love for Gentle
may be the deciding
factor in this fight!
Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
Tomorrow's finally the day.
It's the school festival!
We'll have to clear
outta the gym soon!
But we should have enough time
for one more run through!
Look alive!
And one, and two, and three.
And one, and two,
and three. And pose!
Then Aoyama goes to the center

You're obviously a boy
of refined taste!
Always a pleasure to meet
a fellow connoisseur.
Even if you are just a lad.
Um, well. I don't
really know that much.
My friend made that tea
for us recently is all.
[IZUKU] I feel like I've
heard this voice before.
[GENTLE] Oh. You undoubtedly
run in high-class circles.
[GENTLE] Which would suggest
he goes to an elite school!
[GENTLE]
I mean, you have a wise friend.
[GENTLE]
Oh, no.
Yes. I'm lucky.
She's my classmate.
[IZUKU]
Wait a minute.
[GENTLE] How delightful
to hear, young man.
[GENTLE]
This child is from UA!
[IZUKU]
That voice. The tea!
She says it's like super rare.
[IZUKU]
Whoa, really? Thanks, Yaoyorozu!
It smells great!
[GENTLE] Whenever I'm
preparing my personal kettle.
I select a tea that correlates
to the size of my current job.
Be sure to stay tuned in.
My next video will be an alarm.
Not just to my faithful viewers,
but to all of society.
[GENTLE]
Now, if you'll pardon me--
[IZUKU]
No way.
[GENTLE]
Excitement got the better of me.
Such is the seduction
of fine tea.
Now, a swift exit.
[IZUKU]
Tell me something.
That tea was part
of your ritual, right?
[LA BRAVA] You can't
blame yourself, Gentle!
It couldn't be
helped! And now...
[LA BRAVA, GENTLE]
It's too late.
The second an alarm sounds,
we'll have to shut
down and evacuate.
Those were the terms
the police agreed upon.
[GENTLE]
Ritual?
Whatever do you mean?
[IZUKU]
I saw your video.
[IZUKU]
Please...
La Brava. It's time
to bring out the camera.
[IZUKU]
You can't do this.
[ERI]
I can see how hard
everyone is working
on the festival,
and I do wanna know
how it all turns out.
[IZUKU] I don't care
what you have planned.
I won't let you near my school!
[IZUKU]
I won't let you near my school!
Well, aren't you
a perceptive young man?
[LA BRAVA]
Wait. Do I know him?
[IZUKU] Saturday morning,
no people around!
No hero agencies near UA,
so I can't expect backup.
And I have no idea
what this guy can do.
If I could ask the café
to call the police--
[IZUKU]
No!
La Brava, there's been
a slight change of plan.
From this moment on, no matter
what, don't stop filming!
Oh, I'm all over it, Gentle!
But, are you going to fight
on the street? Right here?
What about your master plan?
My dearest viewers!
I believe it's time to give
you a taste of my hijinks!
[GENTLE] Try not to be so
dazzled that you avert your eyes
as your favorite scoundrel
shows off his talents.
Gentle Criminal,
at your service!
My plans have shifted.
Due to our current predicament,
I shall keep my words brief.
For this caper...
I will infiltrate
UA High School!
So cool!
[IZUKU]
So not cool.
I won't let you do that!
I conjured up this barrier
as I cast off my overcoat!
If you've seen my videos,
then you should already know.
My Quirk is Elasticity.
I bestow said property
to anything I touch.
And I do mean anything,
even the air itself.
Gently Rebound!
[IZUKU yelps]
I abhor using v*olence
to solve my problems.
[LA BRAVA] Yeah, but
that move was intense.
I find myself completely
confounded in this moment,
La Brava darling.
His speed and power
are startling
and unexpected from a boy
so young. Quite odd.
Sorry to cut and run,
but the show must go on!
[IZUKU] Don't apologize,
just stay away from my school!
[GENTLE] Clever boy.
But no such luck for you.
Gently... Trampoline!
[IZUKU yelps]
[GENTLE]
When I was a student, I, too,
worked hard to put
on social events.
I'm sure you have feelings
invested in this festival.
But they can't win
against the desires
of my mustache and my soul!
This scheme is a
crucial step toward
my becoming a legend.
Be a dear and stay
out of my way.
Cheerio, lad. Hope you
stick the landing.
Hey, Gentle, I know where
I've seen him before!
That boy is named
Izuku Midoriya!
He broke his fingers on purpose
during the sports festival.
He's totally crazy.
By Jove!
We'd better get out
of here post haste.
We'll carry out the plan before
he's able to alert his peers. line: %
Hello again, my friends. line: %
The outrageous scheme that's
currently in progress
has now become a race
against the clock!
Sorry, you two. My break
is almost over. I'm off.
Okay! Just so you know,
I'm lookin' forward to
seeing you get down, too!
Deku, you're leaving already?
I'm sorry. But I have
to go to practice.
[MIRIO] The three of us can
explore the fest as a trio
after Midoriya's done
shakin' his stuff!
[ERI]
Deku. Lemillion.
I'm getting kind of excited.
[GENTLE] I'm sure you
have feelings invested
in this festival. But they
can't win against the desires
of my mustache and my soul!
[JIRO] Midoriya, I know
you're always scribbling
a ton of stuff down
in your notebooks.
So what's it look like in there?
[IZUKU] Why, is there a hero
you wanna know more about, Jiro?
[JIRO] No, I just wanted to see
how you organize your notes.
I'm trying to figure out how to
highlight the important stuff.
I write down way too much.
Got any advice?
[IZUKU]
Advice for the band members?
Wow, you came up
with these lessons?
That's awesome!
This makes me so happy!
I hope everyone else
feels the same way.
Since you guys convinced me
my music has a purpose,
I've actually gotten
pretty enthusiastic.
It's possible I went
a little bit overboard.
Tokoyami! I told you.
Strums like your life
depends on it, bird brain!
You think you can
destroy UA's ears
with weak-ass riffs like that?
Where's the grit?
Do you understand
what he wants?
Sort of. Check out lesson three.
[TOKOYAMI]
Hm...
You're done, Gentle Criminal!
[IZUKU]
I have to stop him!
[ALL MIGHT] It's still hard for
you to sh**t consecutively
or while moving around.
I wish I were on the ground.
Gotta calm down.
I'll mess up if I panic.
Can't let them escape.
I need to land. Focus.
No good! You're still not
nailing it down, Midoriya.
As you move, you've gotta stay
focused and in the moment.
So you wanna be able to
direct wind pressure, huh?
[IZUKU] Mm-hm. I need more
control over my blasts,
especially if I'll be
fighting in a city.
[IZUKU] The more types of
att*cks I have, the better.
[IZUKU] Let's try this.
Delaware Smash. Air Force!
Gah! Some kind of air cannon?
All right!
[GENTLE]
That's not enough to stop me!
I will not be discouraged!
I won't let you ruin this
for my entire school!
Dear boy, that's not
your decision.
Gentle, no!
Looks like somethin'
fishy's goin on.
[LA BRAVA]
Nothing to see here, mister!
We're just filming
a little project!
You think you can tell your
neighbors to stay away, too?
This fib's only going
to buy us a little time.
I know you don't wanna hear it,
Gentle, but at this point,
it would be smart to retreat!
[IZUKU]
Thank you, Hatsume!
[HATSUME] Mm-hm! So currently,
you're sh**ting air forward
in a wide arc that's
hard to control.
What you need is
one of my babies
to help you fire off
b*ll*ts of air
so you can hit precise targets!
You've been practicing this
move with your fingers,
but I bet someday you
can incorporate it
into your sh**t Style, too,
using your iron soles!
That's it! Nice work!
[IZUKU]
Thank you, Ashido!
That extra dance practice
is already coming in handy!
[IZUKU pants]
Where is he?
[GENTLE]
What an unexpected turn.
This won't do at all.
However, one must keep
a sense of humor
about such things,
mustn't one? Ha, ha, ha!
Isn't it about time
to drop the act?
My plan will be
a smashing success!
This is but a delay!
Minor setbacks don't
worry a gentleman.
[IZUKU] He's not giving up.
The festival's still in danger.
Yes. That is the resolve
of Gentle Criminal!
[IZUKU]
You're no gentleman!
I know you're planning
to do something to UA.
What do you want with my school?
You'd like to know
my scheme, eh?
When's this gonna be on TV?
What channel?
Ruffian though I may
be, I implore you
not to confuse me with
those foul wretches
from the League of Villains.
[LA BRAVA]
Gentle! My beloved Gentle!
You see, I have no
palate for kidnapping
or m*rder or any such rubbish.
I simply wish to sneak
into your school festival
so the world knows that I
am indeed a master criminal.
[LA BRAVA]
Please!
Don't let him defeat you!
[GENTLE]
Now, kindly let me go.
[LA BRAVA]
He's pleading for his life!
You have to know the campus
is on an emergency alert.
Someone's bound to catch
you before you sneak in,
which'll set off
all kinds of alarms.
We'll have to notify the police.
The school festival
will be cancelled,
and you'll end up in jail!
So give up now.
Oh-ho. I don't fear
being detected.
My partner has devised
an ingenious way
to disable every
security sensor.
Nothing will be canceled
and my dastardly plan
will be a success.
It's a win-win
situation, my boy!
[IZUKU] That's a win for you,
but a disaster for us!
[GENTLE]
Fair enough.
[LA BRAVA]
A rhetorical defeat!
[GENTLE] So, now you're aware
of my nefarious scheme.
It's been lovely
chatting with you.
But I best bid you goodbye
and be on my way.
I've already called
the authorities!
Stay put.
The police and the pro heroes
will be here any minute now.
[IZUKU]
Come on, come on.
Please let this bluff work.
I don't think so.
While the aftertaste
of the tea remains,
I'll make certain you can't
ruin my machinations.
[IZUKU] Predict your
opponent's movements, and...
[IZUKU]
No. I can't. He's too fast!
[gasps]
[grunts]
[IZUKU] What's happening
to the beams? There he is!
I know your game now,
but I can bounce your
air b*ll*ts back easily.
Gentle.
I hate to say it, but maybe
we should head back to base!
[GENTLE]
No, La Brava.
I'll prevail.
Got to catch him!
[GENTLE]
Now, boy.
Do pay close attention
to what I'm about to say.
I can't cancel the
effects of my Quirk.
The things I elasticize return
to normal gradually over time.
Imagine how the structural
integrity of this steel
is affected by this
unnatural bounce.
Oh, and did I mention
that I thought it prudent
to remove the bolts from
the one I'm standing upon?
Just think,
should this beam fall,
the havoc it would
wreak on anything
or any one below.
Somethin's shaking up there.
[IZUKU gasps]
You're a UA student, yes?
[GENTLE]
If someone's in danger...
[GENTLE]
...you'll step in.
Not a m*rder*r, huh?
You just tried to
k*ll that old guy!
[GENTLE] Not at all. I simply
wanted to keep you occupied.
I planned to bounce the
beam out of the way myself
if you didn't step in
for some reason.
That looks scary.
This must be the big climax!
[GENTLE] I thought you'd
simply rush for the chap.
I see you really do
have frightening levels
of speed and power.
I hate to leave you
under such a strain,
but stay put and bear
the pain patiently.
Help will arrive soon,
and you'll be saved.
I shall be done
filming by that point.
[GENTLE]
Grab hold, La Brava.
[LA BRAVA]
That's harsh, Gentle!
You're playing dirty!
[GENTLE] My partner has
devised an ingenious way
to disable every
security sensor.
I simply wish to sneak
into your school festival.
[IZUKU] No. This can't
be how the fight ends. line: %
[KAMINARI] It's almost time!
My nerves are killin' me. line: %
Just take a few deep breaths. line: %
Try to center
yourself, Kaminari.
Are you sweating, Yaomomo?
We went through the trouble
of having shirts made,
so put yours on, Bakugo.
The dance outfits
are super cute!
And all we did was
jazz up some dresses.
If I could de-wrinkle it!
[MINETA]
Still super sexy!
Midoriya isn't here.
He went to buy rope earlier.
But he should be back by now.
Right? It's odd.
He'll be here.
Our timeline has
changed, La Brava,
but if they're on their guard
and I still manage to sneak in,
then I may yet attain
notoriety I seek!
As a man who accomplished
a great feat,
history will remember my name!
He's still fighting?
I see some of you in that boy.
Neither of you are
going to give up!
I think it's time.
Let's use my Quirk!
[IZUKU]
Here's the preview!
The moment Gentle Criminal
sneaks into UA,
the school festival
will be cancelled.
All our hard work will
have been for nothing!
For the sake of
everybody involved,
especially Eri, I have to
stop this eccentric villain!
It's time for me to rely
on my new moves,
and show how much I've learned
from training with All Might.
Next time:
"School Festival Start!"
La Brava's love for Gentle
may be the deciding
factor in this fight!
Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
