Well, I wasn't expecting
to find you here.
The League of Villains.
Dabi!
You k*lled Snatch.
He was a good hero.
Snatch, huh?
That doesn't ring a bell.
Why don't we forget about him
and have a friendly chat.
Who knows when we'll
get another chance.
--[ENDEAVOR grunts]
--You can't fight like this.
Just recover your
strength for now.
I'll take care of this guy.
I only have
small feathers left,
but I should be able
to buy us some time.
Aw, no need for heroics.
The only reason I'm here
is to retrieve my fallen Nomu.
I mean, no way I could
win this fight, right?
Unless the top two heroes
were bloodied and
beaten already.
[yells]
[MIRKO]
Saw the news and hopped over!
Patchwork, you're part
of the League, huh?
I'll kick your butt!
Man. And things were
just gettin' good.
Do it, Ujiko.
[DABI]
See ya later, Number One.
I'm sure we'll have time to
have a heart-to-heart someday.
I look forward to it.
Until then.
Try not to disappoint.
And don't you dare
get k*lled, Enji Todoroki!
Tell us where your friends are!
[MIRKO]
Vanished.
It's the same way they bounced
out of Camino that day.
Whatever the case,
we managed to stop
that juiced up Nomu.
Idiot. This is
just the beginning.
[HAWKS] That wasn't how you
said things would play out.
Oh, is that a fact?
I'd prefer it if you and I
got along better, Dabi.
[DABI] Thought you only
had small feathers left
after that battle.
If I'm going to meet a liar
in a secret location,
I'm not coming unarmed.
The fight was supposed to go
down at a warehouse tomorrow.
Instead you unleashed a Nomu
in the middle of the city.
One on a totally different level
than the others we've faced.
If we're going to
trust each other,
you have to keep me up to date.
I guess I had a sudden
change of heart.
But I did give you
advance warning
I wanted to test the
new Nomu in the field.
Besides, you're not
without blame yourself.
You said you'd bring
a random pro along.
I didn't expect
the number-one hero.
Now that's not very fair.
Your beast gave Endeavor
severe injuries.
I figured you'd be thrilled
to give him such a work out.
I did what you asked of me.
You're the only one who
broke a promise here.
Think of it as me
testing our pet pro
to see if I can
actually trust his word.
I couldn't help but notice you
saved a couple of bystanders.
You came to us saying you
sympathize with our cause,
yet you fought so hard today.
I'm no good to you
if the hero community
loses its faith in my work.
The more they trust me,
the more intel I'll be
able to collect on them.
You know that.
Unless you're incapable
of thinking long-term.
Everything I do is in the name
of advancing the League. Got it?
Sure. Say that all you want,
but I can't let you
see the boss yet.
I'll be in touch, partner.
[COMMISSION LEADER]
We need you to infiltrate
the League of Villains.
Uh, you're gonna
have to explain.
'Cause that sounds crazy.
Aren't you forming a
search team to find them?
Like with Gran Torino
and the others?
Where did you hear about that?
We need your assistance.
It's vital, Hawks.
You've just proven how sharp
your eyes and ears are.
At the Camino battle,
we had to consider the safety
of the kidnapping victim,
so we rushed the operation
and didn't gather enough intel.
We misread their strength.
To truly stamp out these
dark organizations,
we need more information.
Especially about that
bioengineered human.
Was that thing made using
just All For One's power?
If we don't learn
everything we can
about the League,
then we'll just keep
making the same mistakes.
So you want me to get close
to them, but expect me
to sit back and ignore
all the harm they cause?
We're asking you
because we think
you're someone
who can ignore it.
You're indifferent
to prestige and fame,
and you have your eyes fixed
on your long-term goal.
We think there's no one
more suitable than you.
[HAWKS]
I'm sorry, Endeavor.
Really. I am.
Oh, that was Snatch.
The sand guy, right?
Have you ever thought
about the families
of those you m*rder*d
in cold blood?
[DABI laughs] I've thought
about is so much,
it's driven me insane.
[HAWKS]
Isn't this great?
You only had to stay
in there for two days.
Bonus, your left
eye's still working,
which is honestly surprising.
I'm sorry. This was
all my fault.
Don't flatter yourself.
My injuries are
my own responsibility.
Aw, man. Can I borrow that line
the next time I get
the crap b*at outta me?
Focus on what's important.
That Nomu came straight for us.
As if it knew where we were.
The exact moment we
were talking about it.
An odd coincidence,
wouldn't you say?
Meh. The two new top heroes
walking around together
in broad daylight?
We just drew too much attention
and they decided
to take a swipe at us.
[HAWKS] Drop it. I made a scene
while we were on the streets
just so I could make
this flimsy excuse.
[HAWKS] I was thinking, it's
possible that the Nomu rumors
themselves are being used
as bait to catch heroes.
I think we should contact the
team searching for the League
and get more info.
You should be more careful.
[HAWKS]
Hm?
[ENDEAVOR] If you plan
to keep investigating this,
you're going to need
someone to back you up.
A hero who can stop
a Nomu like that.
Aw! And you care about me
so much, you'll be my bodyguard!
That's so nice!
I'll incinerate you.
[HAWKS]
Once my feathers grow back,
I can start patrolling again.
It'll probably take
another day or so.
Can't wait.
[ENDEAVOR grumbles]
And what about you, huh?
Takin' some R n' R, big guy?
[ENDEAVOR]
Possibly.
'Kay! Catch you later, then!
[HAWKS]
Is this absolutely necessary?
This is a proposition.
By going after the League of
Villains from both the inside
and the outside, we can cut off
their retreat and box them in.
Really? Heh.
You're calling it a proposition
even though you know I
can't possibly refuse you.
Well, that's a laugh.
I won't try to deny that.
You're not wrong there.
We got lucky you weren't able to
make it to the fight in Camino.
[SAFETY COMMISSION MEMBER A]
A kid?
You mean a child saved everyone?
[SAFETY COMMISSION MEMBER B]
That accident was terrible.
I can't believe it.
[CHAIRWOMAN] Find the child
who saved all those people.
Immediately.
[SAFETY COMMISSION MEMBER A]
This boy has a natural gift.
He should become a hero.
Please allow us
to support your family
while we help him
reach his potential.
A secret investigation
into the League.
If getting my hands dirty will
help everyone else rest easy,
then I gladly take on the task.
My name is Hawks. A man
too fast for my own good.
I want to live in
a world where heroes
have too much time
on their hands.
And I'll make sure that happens.
As quickly as possible.
Welcome back home!
Yeah, it's been a while.
[yeowls]
[FUYUMI] Shoto got permission
to leave campus for dinner!
I asked his teacher
to come in and join us,
but, um, he said "no."
Anyway, I bet you're
super excited
to celebrate your big
victory over that monster.
Huh, Dad?
S'a bad scar.
Looks painful.
[TODOROKI slurps]
Hey, you two! You promised
you'd be in good moods!
Congratulate him!
Dad's finally trying
to think about his family
after all these years!
Don't blow it!
At least pretend that
you don't hate him.
I'm standing right here.
Sorry, Sis, but I'm out.
I can't do this.
Wait!
Natsuo?
If you have something
to say, then talk.
Oh, gimme a break.
That's rich coming from you.
Okay, then.
I found out today
that Shoto likes soba.
I know nothing about my brother
'cause you didn't want him
to have anything
to do with us failures.
[ENDEAVOR]
Ignore them, Shoto.
They live in a different world
than the one I'm
training you for.
For some reason,
Mom and Sis are both
ready to forgive you
for how you treated us.
But to me, you're still
the maniac bastard
who ruined our family.
You look like you're different,
but you don't act that way.
You neglected us.
Even if you're the
number-one hero,
that doesn't erase the past.
Mom's screams.
Shoto's crying.
What happened to our
big brother, Toya.
You may have had
a change of heart,
but you can't waltz in here
and think we'll accept you.
How disgusting can you be?
I plan to be your father now
and atone for what I did.
It's too late!
I'm sorry, Sis,
thanks for the food!
[FUYUMI]
Natsu!
[FUYUMI]
Come on.
[sighs]
Well, that went terribly.
Shoto started visiting Mom
on a regular basis,
and Dad is compromising
and making an effort.
Mom's even started
acting more cheerful.
I thought... maybe
we could act like
a real family
for once, you know.
I was just looking
forward to it so much,
weren't you? Weren't you, Shoto?
You know, I think that
was the first time
I've ever seen Natsu
show that much emotion.
[NEWSCASTER A]
Two days after the fight,
public opinions about
the number-one hero
continue to evolve rapidly.
You're sure that he's okay?
He was covered
in blood by the end.
I can't believe he
didn't arrest anyone
from the League.
[MAN B]
I thought we already caught
a ton of those Nomu things.
Why was he having such
a hard time with one?
[NEWSCASTER A]
Despite his win...
Turn that thing off!
No.
Do you know what
he's doing right now?
Endeavor's risking his
life for our sakes.
Look at him!
I used to be a huge
fan of Edge sh*t.
But Endeavor's totally
my top hero after that.
I was actually
super excited to see
representation for fire-types.
I can't forget
"Look Boy's" passion!
Who's "Look Boy?"
Some new hero?
[NEWSCASTER A] The child now
known by the nickname "Look Boy"
struck a chord with many
during the fight.
However, we must not
forget that Endeavor...
That's the boy
I met on the street.
[NEWSCASTER A] ...ranked just
below the top hero, assisted.
[ENDEAVOR] A change
is coming. I can feel it.
Some unseen thing you
built up in your prime
is starting to crumble.
[MAN C] It's the dawn
of the Age of Endeavor.
[TODOROKI] Endeavor,
the top hero, was amazing.
[TODOROKI] But, that's
not who's standing here.
I have to agree
with what Natsu said.
I still can't forgive you
for what you did to Mom.
And that's my choice to make.
As for being my "father?"
I'll have to watch your actions
to see if you earn that.
Because I know something
small can change a person.
If they want it to.
[ENDEAVOR] I didn't become
Number One the way I wanted to.
So my hero work is
tainted with shame.
What is my power even for?
[ALL MIGHT] Why is it so
important to be the strongest?
Tell me, Endeavor.
I'm sure you have a reason.
If you look inside yourself.
[ENDEAVOR] When he said that,
what suddenly came to mind
was one resounding thought.
"I must guarantee their future."
[ENDEAVOR] If that's the job
of the pro at the top...
[ENDEAVOR] ...then I've
failed with my own family.
[ENDEAVOR] How can I demand
forgiveness after so long?
[FUYUMI]
Dad? You haven't eaten yet.
I want you to know.
I'm sorry for everything.
[gasps]
And I should have
handled that conversation
with Natsuo differently.
[ENDEAVOR]
Even if it is too late,
I'll try to make amends.
It's my only path forward.
[IZUKU] That same night,
after basic physical training,
I worked on One For All
until I was exhausted.
And passed out
on top of my sheets.
[IZUKU gasps]
[IZUKU]
I had a dream.
There was a beautiful woman
with a fierce expression
on her face next to me.
Beyond her were other people
I didn't recognize at first.
[IZUKU]
Wait, they're...
[IZUKU] I'd had a vision
like this before.
But this dream was much
clearer than that one.
They were the vestiges
of One For All.
I can't talk, but I can
move my right arm.
What's up with my feet?
There are two more
I can't make out.
[ALL MIGHT]
One person improves the power.
Then hands it off
to another person.
It continues to grow
as it's passed along.
It is this cultivated
power that allows me
to save those who are
in need of a hero.
The truth behind my strength.
[IZUKU] These are the
successors of One For All.
Every inheritor.
Seven people.
Eight including me.
Every person who's
ever used the Quirk
except its original wielder!
[ALL FOR ONE]
Stand at my side.
[ALL FOR ONE]
Dear, foolish little brother.
Why do you resist me?
[IZUKU] That voice!
I'll never forget it.
All For One!
[ONE FOR ALL] Because what
you're doing is wrong.
I refuse to stand by and watch
as you corrupt
everything around us!
[IZUKU] All For One called
him "little brother."
Is he the first?
[ALL FOR ONE]
What a callous thing to say.
I'm trying to
compromise with you.
But let me guess:
tolerance is not part of your
rigid sense of "justice."
The world is falling
apart right now;
it's in utter chaos,
but Meta powers
shouldn't be used to
further self-interest.
You're only thinking
about how you can
fulfill your own desires!
[IZUKU] Neither of them
have noticed me.
Am I seeing the past reenacted?
[ALL FOR ONE]
Come.
[ALL FOR ONE] This man's
jaw was transformed.
Those wretched fangs
simply won't stop growing.
He's a kind-hearted
man who takes care
of his elderly parents.
But he was persecuted.
Called "sick" and "a monster."
Even his parents
have abandoned him.
This man has no abilities.
On his way home
from work one evening,
he was att*cked
by a g*ng of Metas.
His stun g*n was
rendered useless,
and the tentacle-like hair
of an assailant held him down
as he was beaten.
No, don't! There's
no turning back--
[ONE FOR ALL coughs]
Please help me.
Just do it.
[ALL FOR ONE] If I'm ever in
need, will you lend me your aid?
Yes, of course I will.
I can go home. Thank you.
I'll help, too.
I'm forever in your debt
after this gift.
Is this the world
you call chaotic?
It doesn't seem so
to me, brother.
I saw two people in need
and helped both of them
using my ability.
I'm no fool. You don't
care about them;
you're just adding lackeys
to your collection.
I do need people I can
trust and depend on.
For someone so concerned
with righteousness, though,
why do you ignore the joy
my power brings them?
The concept of humanity
is broken in this world.
I can use my power to
restore a sense of order.
So which one of us
is actually indulging
in self-interest, would you say?
What kind of order is it
if you're taking
advantage of people?
Do you even remember how many
innocents you've toyed with
before you abandoned them?!
[ONE FOR ALL groans]
[BODYGUARD A]
You'll lose your tongue
before you insult him again.
Ah. Do try to be careful.
My little brother has
a weak constitution.
Poor thing, born without
any meta abilities.
Without power, you can't
hope to achieve anything.
You're a pitiful hypocrite,
but I still love you.
I hope you know that.
You are my only family.
[ALL FOR ONE] I will give
you everything you want
if you agree to join me.
You have my word.
Choice to those without power.
Mercy to those who have sinned.
[ALL FOR ONE]
You've stopped eating again.
You're disintegrating
into nothing.
[ONE FOR ALL coughs]
Brother.
I refuse to become
the man you want me to be.
But you should have been there.
You should have seen them fall.
All of them.
They let their powers
go to waste.
Formed factions.
Rose against me.
That's why they
had to be k*lled.
But it wasn't by my hand
that they lost their lives.
My multitude of adoring friends
took it upon themselves
to spite the wicked
and act on my behalf.
I couldn't be more thrilled.
The suggestion of a desire
and people act for me.
A fantasy come to life.
It's like the world
from the comic
we read together back
when we were young.
Except you gave up
and only read
through volume three.
You missed the end.
The demon king ruled
that fictional land,
but a hero of justice
struggled against him despite
the horrible odds
and saved the world.
Don't you know?
The villain always
loses in the end.
[grunts]
[ALL FOR ONE]
Dreams have become reality.
And reality doesn't
follow stock plots.
I believe it's time you
finally bend to my cause.
I'll rewrite your story as well.
Because you are dear
to me, brother.
Let me go!
I've found a meta power for you.
Even your pathetic body
can utilize it.
You will join me.
Please, brother!
[ONE FOR ALL]
You're the ninth wielder, right?
[IZUKU gasps]
[ONE FOR ALL] I'm sorry.
I wanted to show you more,
but you're barely using
percent of the power yet.
Be careful.
We're long past
the singularity point.
[IZUKU grunts]
[ONE FOR ALL]
Don't be afraid.
You are not alone.
[IZUKU panting]
[IZUKU]
Here's the preview!
Even though I'm confused
by the changes in One For All,
I have to take part in a
new form of combat training.
It's a match between
Class A and Class B.
Whatever happens,
I'll control my Quirk and win,
no matter what!
Next time: "Clash!
Class A vs. Class B!"
What? The special
participant is... you?
Holy whoa!
Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
