[SHIGARAKI yelping]
[DOCTOR]
Excellent, Tomura Shigaraki!
You're coming along nicely.
Better than I ever imagined!
[DOCTOR cackles]
[KUROGIRI]
Tomura Shigaraki.
We've been weakened
considerably.
Ever since we lost All For One.
To do what must be done,
we'll have to advance
to the next stage.
He left formidable
power behind for us.
You only have to say the word
and I will retrieve
that power for you.
I've searched so long.
Now I've found you at last.
So, are you really the leader
who will succeed All For One?
Kurogiri, is this
the "formidable power"
left by All For One?
I'm not impressed.
[GIGANTOMACHIA grunting]
--[SHIGARAKI gasps]
--[GIGANTOMACHIA grunts]
[GROUP gasps]
[GIGANTOMACHIA growls] Why would
you do this, All For One?
I can't believe it!
Tell me why, Master!
He's too weak to deserve this!
[DOCTOR] You seem to have run
into some trouble, Shigaraki.
[SHIGARAKI]
Doctor.
[DOCTOR]
I trust that you've been well?
[SHIGARAKI]
Ask me again in a minute.
Might be game over then.
I can't accept this!
I don't want to question you,
Master, but this is wrong!
[DOCTOR] I take it you've
met Gigantomachia.
He's All For One's biggest fan.
This giant even used to
work as his bodyguard.
He's got incredible
stamina and resilience,
and with that body, he can
handle multiple Quirks
without having to undergo
any modification.
A few years after
the Master took you in,
and after All Might
weakened him,
All For One knew
defeat was inevitable.
So, he hid Gigantomachia
from view.
He thought many steps ahead
and planned meticulously.
He did this so that, no matter
what might become of him,
he would be certain
that his hopes
and dreams would live on.
Call me crazy, but this doesn't
seem like a very nice gift.
Or is it just me?
[DOCTOR] You've got quite
a discerning eye, Dabi.
Gigantomachia is loyal.
That's what's led him down the
path of despair you see now.
It pains him that Shigaraki
doesn't quite measure
up to All For One.
So, you're saying we gotta
make this big baby like us?
[GIGANTOMACHIA grunts]
[gasps]
[GIGANTOMACHIA roars]
Well, that didn't work at all!
[GIGANTOMACHIA yelling]
[ALL FOR ONE]
Machia...
Machia...
[GIGANTOMACHIA gasping]
[DOCTOR] That's a recording
of All For One's voice.
I knew it would calm
the big guy down.
[SHIGARAKI] He's more
trouble than he's worth.
[DOCTOR] You sure?
He could be quite handy
to have on your side
in the future!
All this time with
Kurogiri's made you simple.
Smarten up, boy.
Now, Doctor, there's
no need to be harsh.
[DOCTOR] Hm... Let me try
something else. One second.
What is he up to?
[TWICE]
Mad scientist types make no--
[belches]
Really, Jin? Gross.
How immature can you--
[TWICE]
Wh-What the heck?
[MR COMPRESS] This is the
same quirk All For One used
at Camino! How? Why?
[SPINNER] Things just
keep getting weirder!
[DOCTOR] Now that I've
got your attention,
let's have a little chat.
[TOGA grunts]
Ew, nasty, that stinks!
Where are we?
[DABI]
What is all this?
[DABI] Nomu? They don't look
like ones I've seen before.
[DOCTOR] Dabi! I'm impressed
you can tell the difference.
I knew you had a
keen pair of eyes.
These little ones are different,
nothing like mid
or low-level Nomu.
These are High-End,
my finest work.
Super Nomu. Dare I
call them masterpieces?
[SHIGARAKI] Good timing,
I've been looking for you.
There's a certain something
I want you to duplicate.
I notice you've let your
hair grow out, it suits you.
Your father and the others,
are they doing well?
[gasps]
Sure.
[DOCTOR] I'd prefer my
location remain a secret,
which is why I summoned you
all here by transmission.
Besides Shigaraki, your
faces are all new to me.
Much like Gigantomachia,
I'm a close aide of All For One:
I'm Daruma Ujiko.
I came up with that
name myself, you like it?
Now, then, to business.
I brought you here today
because of an agreement I made
out of my deference
to our former boss.
My life, my tech, my expertise.
And of course,
my little ones, here,
are dedicated to the
great All For One.
Up until now,
you've been getting by
on my scraps, my leftovers.
It's not that I dislike you.
I just have to be cautious.
I need to make quite sure
that you're worthy of receiving
the fruits of my labor.
Because, so far,
I'm unimpressed.
A -year-old reject,
hanging around
with the dregs of society?
What can you show me to change
my mind, Tomura Shigaraki?
[KOTARO]
Stop it, Tenko!
Honestly, I don't remember much
about my life before
I met you and Master.
[DOCTOR] Yes, I'm already
well aware of that.
[SHIGARAKI] And yet,
when I put these on my body,
there's an uncontrollable
rage that spills over.
Ever since that day...
I've been thinking
about what happened.
[ALL FOR ONE]
No one came.
Not a single soul stopped
to help you, did they?
That must have hurt.
Tenko Shimura.
I know you were afraid,
and in intense pain.
You ran and ran,
looking for someone to help.
No child should
have to endure that.
[TENKO SHIMURA sobs]
[ALL FOR ONE] People thought,
"A hero will come.
Sooner or later a
hero will help him,"
as they passed by,
pretending not to see you.
Who turned the world
so upside down
that a child must
suffer as you have?
But not anymore. For I am here.
[SHIGARAKI]
I've no memory of my life before
my master held me that day.
I was just an empty shell--
utterly hollow.
[ALL FOR ONE] I apologize
for the cramped quarters.
But as of today,
this is your room.
and from now on,
I will be your Master.
[TENKO SHIMURA] Master? What are
you going to teach me about?
[ALL FOR ONE]
Doctor.
[DOCTOR]
Yes, sir.
[gasps]
[ALL FOR ONE] This is all
that remains of your family.
A rare, variant quirk
manifested in you--
a mutation no one's seen before,
and you m*rder*d
your loved ones,
simply by putting
your hands on them.
[ALL FOR ONE]
Do you remember that?
[retches]
[SHIGARAKI] It all came rushing
back to me in fragments
with a frustration so intense,
I felt sick to my stomach.
Will we modify him?
[ALL FOR ONE] No. Even if
your mind has forgotten,
your body remembers,
and the feelings remain
locked in your heart.
You asked what I would
teach you. As your master,
I will help you give
purpose to that frustration.
[SHIGARAKI] When I put
them on, it's so strange.
Though it still makes me
feel sick to my stomach,
wearing them washes
calmness over me.
Don't you think that's bizarre?
My mind's empty, beyond
those flashes and fragments,
and yet, there's a
heaviness in my heart,
like a lump of lead.
Never moving, fueling the rage
that propels me, but never
brings relief. Mm...
Even if we bring
down hero society...
Even if I rule the ruins
from the shadows...
That lead will be
with me all my life.
That's why I despise
all in existence.
All that lives and breathes
presses on the
weight in my soul.
So, then, why
shouldn't I destroy it?
Why must I suffer it?
When this world falls,
we'll see the glorious
new horizon that awaits.
So why not lend me a hand?
I'll show you the
halls of heaven
and the depths of hell.
[DOCTOR laughs] You sound like
a kid playing a bad guy!
I'm amazed you got through
it with a straight face!
Ah, why not? I'll help
you achieve your vision,
but only if you can back up
that speech with action.
A villain's philosophy
is worthless
if he can't bring
his dreams to life!
Tomura, those ideas of yours
seem a little bit deranged,
if you ask me.
Like, do you even wanna
destroy everything I love?
[SHIGARAKI] There's always room
for my comrades' wishes.
Live how you want to.
All right!
[DOCTOR laughing] You passed
the test with flying colors.
You're appalling.
Hold on. You were testing me?
I planned to work with
you from the start,
but I had to see some growth.
I can't bestow these powers
to just anyone, you know.
[gasps]
[DOCTOR] That said, I still
can't hand them over yet.
You're all far too weak.
But there is something
you can do
to prove to me
that you're ready.
That big guy may be dense,
but he's valuable to us both.
Though, unlike me, he hasn't
accepted you as his own.
Do you catch my drift?
If you can make Gigantomachia
submit to you,
then everything I have will be
yours to use as you see fit.
If you want what I offer, you'll
have to seize it for yourself.
Fine, but was that self-
indulgent tutorial necessary?
Just so you know,
I'm not helping.
Oh, don't be a brat just 'cause
your flames didn't work on him.
That's not it, you maniac.
I have a good
potential ally in mind,
I'm going to focus my energies
there. Do you object?
No. I look forward
to meeting them.
[DOCTOR] In that case, Dabi, I'd
very much appreciate your help
testing out a High-End Nomu.
I have just the one--
it will pair elegantly
with your aesthetic.
A perfect match!
Did you even hear what I said?
Send us back now,
so we can get started.
I feel like I could
take on the world.
[DOCTOR]
From this point forward,
contact me using this
device exclusively.
Time to work, Johnny!
Back to Gigantomachia
these little soldiers go.
[GIGANTOMACHIA]
Ohhh, Master.
Hello.
Now, are you ready to
submit to your future king?
[GIGANTOMACHIA grunts]
You're weak!
[TWICE] He's only open
when he's in the air!
[GIGANTOMACHIA]
Pathetic!
[TOGA] Looks like the
future king is in trouble!
[SPINNER]
Yeah, well, that's nothing new.
Doctor Ujiko promised that
he'd give us his full support,
but only under one,
massive condition:
that we reign in Gigantomachia.
And in the month and
a half since then,
Shigaraki has come no closer
to proving his strength
to the giant and
winning him over.
The big guy wages
a full-out as*ault
for hours and
minutes straight,
only taking breaks to sleep.
That brief respite lasts
for about three hours,
then he starts the
whole cycle over again.
[SPINNER] His body gets
bigger during combat,
and somehow, he's always
able to find Shigaraki,
no matter where he hides.
[GIGANTOMACHIA grunts]
[SPINNER]
So, for a month and a half now,
Shigaraki's barely slept a wink.
But even as he is pushed
to the brink of death,
Shigaraki's still smiling.
As far as the rest of us go,
he doesn't seem to notice
when we withdraw
from the action.
It's like he's blind
to everything
except his primary
target: Shigaraki.
We rest in shifts,
keeping ourselves fresh
so we can devote our energy
to helping our leader
conquer the giant.
Meanwhile, the Doctor is giving
us bare-bones financial support.
Toga decided to spend
what little money she got
on a new duffel coat.
Toasty and warm!
[grunts]
I don't move as quickly
if I get too cold!
Uh-huh.
Plus, A-line cuts
look super cute on me!
You only joined the League
because you were
obsessed with Stain.
His influence has
all but disappeared
at this point, though.
So why are you still here?
I love Mr. Stainy, and I love
Izuku... and I love Ochaco, too!
It's so amazing that I can be
all these wonderful people!
You're a real free spirit.
[MR COMPRESS]
The monster's asleep.
As massive as he is, you'd
think he'd stop to eat more.
Hey, Tomura, you still
alive over there?
Yeah. The big, dumb bastard's
slowing down a lot.
I'm way closer now than when
this whole saga started.
I'll bring that overgrown
gorilla to his knees.
Sooner or later.
[SPINNER]
That look in his eyes.
It's like a kid chasing
after a dream.
[phone ringing]
[TWICE] It's Giran.
Wonder where he's been.
[MR COMPRESS]
I've been calling Giran
and gotten nothing
but radio silence!
Ask him if we have
damage insurance!
[TWICE] That guy cares about me
more than anyone ever has,
he got me into the
League, you know.
A real mensch, that one.
Why the hell haven't
you been answering
Mr. Compress' calls?
You're the absolute worst, man!
[VOICE] Oops, that would
be our fault, sorry!
Don't be mad at him!
Don't tell me.
You're Jin Bubaigawara, the
villain known as Twice right?
[MR COMPRESS]
A voice changer?
[TWICE]
Who're you? Where's Giran?
[VOICE]
Never mind that.
Turn on the news--if you can.
Our top story, following
yesterday's events,
another finger has been found.
[SPINNER]
A finger?
[NEWSCASTER A] Earlier,
a severed finger was found
near the home of the
Shie Hassaikai boss.
Then at Hosu City Terminal,
on the Metropolitan Expressway,
and at Ground Zero
in Camino Ward,
all within the last three days.
And now, a pinky finger
turns up in central Fukuoka,
at the site of Endeavor's
recent battle...
[MR COMPRESS] All places where
we've been active lately.
That's no accident.
[TWICE]
Who the hell are you, huh?
I'm the grand commander of
the Meta Liberation Army.
The name's Re-Destro.
[SHIGARAKI] First the Yakuza,
and now the Liberation Army?
All you has-been trying
to make a comeback.
Hear you've been selling
lots of books lately.
You want to get in on the trend
while the getting's good.
[YOTSUBASHI]
Think again.
We're the ones who
started the trend.
Congratulations! What do
you want with Giran?
You better not hurt him
anymore, or you're toast!
Ah. I've got your
broker right here,
and he's still alive, of course.
Our objective is to
liberate all meta humans.
To demolish the existing
framework and rebuild a world
where people can be themselves,
where they can
use their abilities
to their fullest capacity.
[MR COMPRESS]
Interesting.
I don't see any reason
why we should oppose that.
Is he trying to exploit
our name, like the yakuza?
Give us the broker and
we'll get back to you soon.
We're busy now.
I'll hear about your
little revolution club
once our task here's complete.
[YOTSUBASHI]
While you're taking a breather,
why not just hear me out?
I'm not gonna release
my hostage now,
because you're not
calling the sh*ts.
And your friend has told me
what a tight-knit group you are.
Your broker is an admirable man.
Takes great pride in his work.
I imagine he's determined to
remain hidden in the shadows,
ever careful to avoid the prying
eyes of heroes and police.
Sadly, he never thought
someone might be lurking
in those same shadows,
waiting to pounce.
Still, I commend him.
He had the foresight to delete
his client list
before we struck.
Not only that, but he
didn't so much as wince
when we started
taking his fingers,
nor did he give you up.
But as for that client list?
We were able to recover it.
I must praise his resistance,
futile though it was!
We liberation warriors
have worked hard.
Preparing for years to
enact the coming events!
We've endured for generations,
biding our time,
spreading our roots
far and wide!
"Revolution club"? I don't
like jokes made in poor taste.
I have , hidden warriors.
And we are lying in wait,
ever ready to take action.
This guy must be bluffing!
[YOTSUBASHI]
Niigata, huh?
How's the weather there,
deep in those mountains?
--Eh?
--[TWICE grunts]
Too late, I'm afraid.
We're watching you right now
thanks to our satellite
Go where you will,
but we'll always find you.
We're always watching
the League of Villains.
Endeavor, Hawks, Edge Shot,
Meerko, and Crust.
One quick call,
and they'll drop everything
and have you surrounded.
I do appreciate
the advance warning.
Now, what do you want from us?
[YOTSUBASHI] I insist that
the leader of this revolution
bear the name Destro.
Your organization has
become too well-known.
Therefore, we shall crush you.
Thus, signaling the revival
of the Liberation Army.
The fingers prove our resolve.
Let's not draw
this little talk out
with pointless bargaining.
The w*r's begun, to liberate
meta humans from all tyranny!
Next, you will make
your way to Deika City,
in Aichi, within the hour.
That's your only hope of
freeing your friend, Giran!
Then, you must make your choice!
Will you stand against
us and be destroyed
or do nothing and be
captured by the heroes?
You must decide, Shigaraki!
[MR COMPRESS] He wants us
in Aichi within the hour?
And he's tracking our
every move from space?
If that's all true,
it feels like checkmate.
[TWICE] Uh, do we even
have to discuss this?
No way! That guy
described Giran to a T!
This Re-Destro guy's
got him for sure!
Giran saved me--gave me
somewhere to belong.
So, we have to go save
him! Like, right now!
Giran might already
be dead, though.
Everything that guy
said could be a lie.
All that we have is his word.
[TWICE] But if there's even
a slim chance Giran's alive,
we have to help him!
[MR COMPRESS] You want us to
barrel in there without a plan?
Calm yourself!
You've gotten way too
attached to people lately,
it's become a bad habit!
[TWICE]
It's because I'm an outcast!
[gasping]
I think I've got an idea.
Doctor, did you catch all that?
[DOCTOR] Yes. I've been
tuned in to "Villain Radio,"
and I'm shocked that the
Meta Liberation Army's back.
The waves you've been
making in the underworld
have dredged up
some real darkness!
How long do we have until
the big baby wakes up?
[MR COMPRESS] If left
undisturbed, he should wake up
in two hours and
minutes, give or take.
Perfect. Where's Dabi?
[DOCTOR] At the moment,
just outside the border
between Mie and Shiga.
That's a great place to be.
Okay, we'll need a
transport. Let's go.
You're taking the bait?
What if they really have a
hundred ten thousand people?
We'll be dead!
[SHIGARAKI]
The giant's not invincible.
After a month and a half of
fighting him, it's clear to me.
But he does have
an excess of HP.
And no matter where I am,
he'll sniff me out
and hunt me down.
[gasps]
We're going to send
Gigantomachia
right into the fray and let
him face all those fighters.
Battling all those
revolutionaries
will wear that meathead down!
[DOCTOR]
How sneaky!
And what'll you do if it turns
out that Re-Destro is bluffing?
Then he'll die, simple as that.
We're really doing this?
[SHIGARAKI]
That's what I said.
[TWICE]
Oh, covered. Now I'll recover.
And they won't even
know what hit 'em.
[IZUKU]
Here's the preview!
The Meta Liberation Army fights
to dismantle the current
societal system
that suppresses Quirks,
and liberate all meta humans.
Their grand commander,
Re-Destro,
has also been planning to
destroy the League of Villains
and construct a new society
from the ground up.
Now, with more than ,
warriors behind him,
he kicks off a gruesome
spectacle of conflict.
Next time, "Revival Party."
Evil will face off against evil.
Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
[DOCTOR]
Excellent, Tomura Shigaraki!
You're coming along nicely.
Better than I ever imagined!
[DOCTOR cackles]
[KUROGIRI]
Tomura Shigaraki.

you do this, All For One?
I can't believe it!
Tell me why, Master!
He's too weak to deserve this!
[DOCTOR] You seem to have run
into some trouble, Shigaraki.
[SHIGARAKI]
Doctor.
[DOCTOR]

[SHIGARAKI]

Might be game over then.

my master held me that day.
I was just an empty shell--
utterly hollow.
[ALL FOR ONE] I apologize
for the cramped quarters.
But as of today,
this is your room.
and from now on,
I will be your Master.
[TENKO SHIMURA] Master? What are
you going to teach me about?
[ALL FOR ONE]
Doctor.
[DOCTOR]
Yes, sir.
[gasps]
[ALL FOR ONE] This is all
that remains of your family.
A rare, variant quirk
manifested in you--
a mutation no one's seen before,
and you m*rder*d
your loved ones,
simply by putting
your hands on them.
[ALL FOR ONE]
Do you remember that?
[retches]
[SHIGARAKI] It all came rushing
back to me in fragments
with a frustration so intense,
I felt sick to my stomach.
Will we modify him?
[ALL FOR ONE] No. Even if
your mind has forgotten,
your body remembers,
and the feelings remain
locked in your heart.
You asked what I would
teach you. As your master,
I will help you give
purpose to that frustration.
[SHIGARAKI] When I put
them on, it's so strange.
Though it still makes me
feel sick to my stomach,
wearing them washes
calmness over me.
Don't you think that's bizarre?
My mind's empty, beyond
those flashes and fragments,
and yet, there's a
heaviness in my heart,
like a lump of lead.
Never moving, fueling the rage
that propels me, but never
brings relief. Mm...
Even if we bring
down hero society...
Even if I rule the ruins
from the shadows...
That lead will be
with me all my life.
That's why I despise
all in existence.
All that lives and breathes
presses on the
weight in my soul.
So, then, why
shouldn't I destroy it?
Why must I suffer it?
When this world falls,
we'll see the glorious
new horizon that awaits.
So why not lend me a hand?
I'll show you the
halls of heaven
and the depths of hell.
[DOCTOR laughs] You sound like
a kid playing a bad guy!
I'm amazed you got through
it with a straight face!
Ah, why not? I'll help
you achieve your vision,
but only if you can back up
that speech with action.
A villain's philosophy
is worthless
if he can't bring
his dreams to life!
Tomura, those ideas of yours
seem a little bit deranged,
if you ask me.
Like, do you even wanna
destroy everything I love?
[SHIGARAKI] There's always room
for my comrades' wishes.
Live how you want to.
All right!
[DOCTOR laughing] You passed
the test with flying colors.
You're appalling.
Hold on. You were testing me?
I planned to work with
you from the start,
but I had to see some growth.
I can't bestow these powers
to just anyone, you know.
[gasps]
[DOCTOR] That said, I still
can't hand them over yet.
You're all far too weak.
But there is something
you can do
to prove to me
that you're ready.
That big guy may be dense,
but he's valuable to us both.
Though, unlike me, he hasn't
accepted you as his own.
Do you catch my drift?
If you can make Gigantomachia
submit to you,
then everything I have will be
yours to use as you see fit.
If you want what I offer, you'll
have to seize it for yourself.
Fine, but was that self-
indulgent tutorial necessary?
Just so you know,
I'm not helping.
Oh, don't be a brat just 'cause
your flames didn't work on him.
That's not it, you maniac.
I have a good
potential ally in mind,
I'm going to focus my energies
there. Do you object?
No. I look forward
to meeting them.
[DOCTOR] In that case, Dabi, I'd
very much appreciate your help
testing out a High-End Nomu.
I have just the one--
it will pair elegantly
with your aesthetic.
A perfect match!
Did you even hear what I said?
Send us back now,
so we can get started.
I feel like I could
take on the world.
[DOCTOR]
From this point forward,
contact me using this
device exclusively.
Time to work, Johnny!
Back to Gigantomachia
these little soldiers go.
[GIGANTOMACHIA]
Ohhh, Master.
Hello.
Now, are you ready to
submit to your future king?
[GIGANTOMACHIA grunts]
You're weak!
[TWICE] He's only open
when he's in the air!
[GIGANTOMACHIA]
Pathetic!
[TOGA] Looks like the
future king is in trouble!
[SPINNER]
Yeah, well, that's nothing new.
Doctor Ujiko promised that
he'd give us his full support,
but only under one,
massive condition:
that we reign in Gigantomachia.
And in the month and
a half since then,
Shigaraki has come no closer
to proving his strength
to the giant and
winning him over.
The big guy wages
a full-out as*ault
for hours and
minutes straight,
only taking breaks to sleep.
That brief respite lasts
for about three hours,
then he starts the
whole cycle over again.
[SPINNER] His body gets
bigger during combat,
and somehow, he's always
able to find Shigaraki,
no matter where he hides.
[GIGANTOMACHIA grunts]
[SPINNER]
So, for a month and a half now,
Shigaraki's barely slept a wink.
But even as he is pushed
to the brink of death,
Shigaraki's still smiling.
As far as the rest of us go,
he doesn't seem to notice
when we withdraw
from the action.
It's like he's blind
to everything
except his primary
target: Shigaraki.
We rest in shifts,
keeping ourselves fresh
so we can devote our energy
to helping our leader
conquer the giant.
Meanwhile, the Doctor is giving
us bare-bones financial support.
Toga decided to spend
what little money she got
on a new duffel coat.
Toasty and warm!
[grunts]
I don't move as quickly
if I get too cold!
Uh-huh.
Plus, A-line cuts
look super cute on me!
You only joined the League
because you were
obsessed with Stain.
His influence has
all but disappeared
at this point, though.
So why are you still here?
I love Mr. Stainy, and I love
Izuku... and I love Ochaco, too!
It's so amazing that I can be
all these wonderful people!
You're a real free spirit.
[MR COMPRESS]
The monster's asleep.
As massive as he is, you'd
think he'd stop to eat more.
Hey, Tomura, you still
alive over there?
Yeah. The big, dumb bastard's
slowing down a lot.
I'm way closer now than when
this whole saga started.
I'll bring that overgrown
gorilla to his knees.
Sooner or later.
[SPINNER]
That look in his eyes.
It's like a kid chasing
after a dream.
[phone ringing]
[TWICE] It's Giran.
Wonder where he's been.
[MR COMPRESS]
I've been calling Giran
and gotten nothing
but radio silence!
Ask him if we have
damage insurance!
[TWICE] That guy cares about me
more than anyone ever has,
he got me into the
League, you know.
A real mensch, that one.
Why the hell haven't
you been answering
Mr. Compress' calls?
You're the absolute worst, man!
[VOICE] Oops, that would
be our fault, sorry!
Don't be mad at him!
Don't tell me.
You're Jin Bubaigawara, the
villain known as Twice right?
[MR COMPRESS]
A voice changer?
[TWICE]
Who're you? Where's Giran?
[VOICE]
Never mind that.
Turn on the news--if you can.
Our top story, following
yesterday's events,
another finger has been found.
[SPINNER]
A finger?
[NEWSCASTER A] Earlier,
a severed finger was found
near the home of the
Shie Hassaikai boss.
Then at Hosu City Terminal,
on the Metropolitan Expressway,
and at Ground Zero
in Camino Ward,
all within the last three days.
And now, a pinky finger
turns up in central Fukuoka,
at the site of Endeavor's
recent battle...
[MR COMPRESS] All places where
we've been active lately.
That's no accident.
[TWICE]
Who the hell are you, huh?
I'm the grand commander of
the Meta Liberation Army.
The name's Re-Destro.
[SHIGARAKI] First the Yakuza,
and now the Liberation Army?
All you has-been trying
to make a comeback.
Hear you've been selling
lots of books lately.
You want to get in on the trend
while the getting's good.
[YOTSUBASHI]
Think again.
We're the ones who
started the trend.
Congratulations! What do
you want with Giran?
You better not hurt him
anymore, or you're toast!
Ah. I've got your
broker right here,
and he's still alive, of course.
Our objective is to
liberate all meta humans.
To demolish the existing
framework and rebuild a world
where people can be themselves,
where they can
use their abilities
to their fullest capacity.
[MR COMPRESS]
Interesting.
I don't see any reason
why we should oppose that.
Is he trying to exploit
our name, like the yakuza?
Give us the broker and
we'll get back to you soon.
We're busy now.
I'll hear about your
little revolution club
once our task here's complete.
[YOTSUBASHI]
While you're taking a breather,
why not just hear me out?
I'm not gonna release
my hostage now,
because you're not
calling the sh*ts.
And your friend has told me
what a tight-knit group you are.
Your broker is an admirable man.
Takes great pride in his work.
I imagine he's determined to
remain hidden in the shadows,
ever careful to avoid the prying
eyes of heroes and police.
Sadly, he never thought
someone might be lurking
in those same shadows,
waiting to pounce.
Still, I commend him.
He had the foresight to delete
his client list
before we struck.
Not only that, but he
didn't so much as wince
when we started
taking his fingers,
nor did he give you up.
But as for that client list?
We were able to recover it.
I must praise his resistance,
futile though it was!
We liberation warriors
have worked hard.
Preparing for years to
enact the coming events!
We've endured for generations,
biding our time,
spreading our roots
far and wide!
"Revolution club"? I don't
like jokes made in poor taste.
I have , hidden warriors.
And we are lying in wait,
ever ready to take action.
This guy must be bluffing!
[YOTSUBASHI]
Niigata, huh?
How's the weather there,
deep in those mountains?
--Eh?
--[TWICE grunts]
Too late, I'm afraid.
We're watching you right now
thanks to our satellite
Go where you will,
but we'll always find you.
We're always watching
the League of Villains.
Endeavor, Hawks, Edge Shot,
Meerko, and Crust.
One quick call,
and they'll drop everything
and have you surrounded.
I do appreciate
the advance warning.
Now, what do you want from us?
[YOTSUBASHI] I insist that
the leader of this revolution
bear the name Destro.
Your organization has
become too well-known.
Therefore, we shall crush you.
Thus, signaling the revival
of the Liberation Army.
The fingers prove our resolve.
Let's not draw
this little talk out
with pointless bargaining.
The w*r's begun, to liberate
meta humans from all tyranny!
Next, you will make
your way to Deika City,
in Aichi, within the hour.
That's your only hope of
freeing your friend, Giran!
Then, you must make your choice!
Will you stand against
us and be destroyed
or do nothing and be
captured by the heroes?
You must decide, Shigaraki!
[MR COMPRESS] He wants us
in Aichi within the hour?
And he's tracking our
every move from space?
If that's all true,
it feels like checkmate.
[TWICE] Uh, do we even
have to discuss this?
No way! That guy
described Giran to a T!
This Re-Destro guy's
got him for sure!
Giran saved me--gave me
somewhere to belong.
So, we have to go save
him! Like, right now!
Giran might already
be dead, though.
Everything that guy
said could be a lie.
All that we have is his word.
[TWICE] But if there's even
a slim chance Giran's alive,
we have to help him!
[MR COMPRESS] You want us to
barrel in there without a plan?
Calm yourself!
You've gotten way too
attached to people lately,
it's become a bad habit!
[TWICE]
It's because I'm an outcast!
[gasping]
I think I've got an idea.
Doctor, did you catch all that?
[DOCTOR] Yes. I've been
tuned in to "Villain Radio,"
and I'm shocked that the
Meta Liberation Army's back.
The waves you've been
making in the underworld
have dredged up
some real darkness!
How long do we have until
the big baby wakes up?
[MR COMPRESS] If left
undisturbed, he should wake up
in two hours and
minutes, give or take.
Perfect. Where's Dabi?
[DOCTOR] At the moment,
just outside the border
between Mie and Shiga.
That's a great place to be.
Okay, we'll need a
transport. Let's go.
You're taking the bait?
What if they really have a
hundred ten thousand people?
We'll be dead!
[SHIGARAKI]
The giant's not invincible.
After a month and a half of
fighting him, it's clear to me.
But he does have
an excess of HP.
And no matter where I am,
he'll sniff me out
and hunt me down.
[gasps]
We're going to send
Gigantomachia
right into the fray and let
him face all those fighters.
Battling all those
revolutionaries
will wear that meathead down!
[DOCTOR]
How sneaky!
And what'll you do if it turns
out that Re-Destro is bluffing?
Then he'll die, simple as that.
We're really doing this?
[SHIGARAKI]
That's what I said.
[TWICE]
Oh, covered. Now I'll recover.
And they won't even
know what hit 'em.
[IZUKU]
Here's the preview!
The Meta Liberation Army fights
to dismantle the current
societal system
that suppresses Quirks,
and liberate all meta humans.
Their grand commander,
Re-Destro,
has also been planning to
destroy the League of Villains
and construct a new society
from the ground up.
Now, with more than ,
warriors behind him,
he kicks off a gruesome
spectacle of conflict.
Next time, "Revival Party."
Evil will face off against evil.
Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
