07x02 - (Dub) Specter

[bunniefuu]

[ETHAN chuckles]
Ya see that, fellas?

Proof positive that
Star here sucks

when it comes to pushing
her strength over the edge.

[STAR AND STRIPE] On the
surface, New Order sounds like

a Quirk that allows me
to do anything I want.

But there's a limit to how much
I can power myself up.

No matter how I phrase
the rule, I run into a cap.

People have theories
about why that is.

Some say it's all in my brain,

that I don't believe
I can get stronger.

Others have said, "Cassie,
it's because you're a girl."

[ETHAN]
Are you kiddin' me, Star?

It's got nothing to do
with you being a woman.

You gotta accept that's
just how your Quirk is.

If it's not enough, we'll always
be there to back you up.

That's what it means
to be a squad.

Get it through your thick skull

that you're stupidly
strong, already.

The issue is you're trying to
compare yourself to All Might.

[BIGGS]
She is probably the only person

who has a chance of getting
to his level one day.

Yeah, 'cause they're
a couple of beasts.

--You want some?
--[ALL laugh]

[ETHAN]
Heads up!

Basically, we're telling you
not to worry about it.

[STAR AND STRIPE]
I gotta hand it to 'em.

They never once said
the words I hate so much.

[ETHAN]
Star! Tiamat's incoming.

Those are hypersonic missiles.

Can you grab them?

[STAR AND STRIPE]
Yeah!

But I'll have to drop
the laser rule to do so.

I need you boys to keep him
pinned down with heavy fire.

If I lose focus,
he'll be on us in no time.

[SHIGARAKI]
She must know this attack

isn't going to do
any lasting damage.

Sure, I'm pinned down,
and my regeneration is stalled.

But that's just a nuisance,
not an endgame.

In other words,
Ms. Star understands

that if she wants
to destroy me,

she'll have to rely
on a single blow

I can't hope to
bounce back from.

She's waiting for something.

An element that'll tip
the fight in her favor.

Don't tell me--

[ETHAN]
This is it, Star!

We'll keep the heat coming
while you give this attack

everything you've got.

Hit him so hard, there's not
even dust left behind.

[SHIGARAKI]
What a pain.

She's got a plan.

Well, then.

This'll be a do-or-die
moment for both of us.

[ETHAN]
Can't believe it's come to this.

[ETHAN, SHIGARAKI] Forced to
play each other's shitty games.

Start counting down!

[ETHAN]
Three!

Two!

One!

[STAR AND STRIPE grunts]

[STAR AND STRIPE]
Before my arm gets ripped off

at the elbow, New Order!

"Tiamat will be redirected!"

As long as the rule impacts
one of the missiles,

we're golden.

[ETHAN]
Fire!

State-of-the-Art Hypersonic
Intercontinental Cruise Punch!

[ETHAN]
Did it work?

Is it over?

[STAR AND STRIPE]
Was that enough?

[gasps]

[SHIGARAKI]
I have full control over Decay.

I knew you had
something up your sleeve.

And based on our fight,
I figured out that New Order

can probably only be applied
to two things at once.

Which meant something
had to give

before you played
your trump card.

An opening!

The instant the rule changed,
I used Decay to bury myself

so far underground,
I'd survive any attack.

If I'd made that move
a moment too soon,

you would've noticed
and countered.

It was a gamble.

The timing had to be precise.

If I hadn't used the
Nomu as a decoy,

or my calculations were off,
that would've been fatal.

[WEDGE] The b*stard had us
sh**ting his pet!

[SHIGARAKI]
You brought this on yourself.

I'm just playing along
in your shitty game.

If you'd tried that move
against anyone else,

you would've won,
but not against me!

And now you're gonna
lose everything!

[ETHAN]
Form up, men! Regain control!

Support Star!
Set the stage for her.

So long, Nomu. Explode!

[ETHAN grunts]

Stop stalling and
hand over New Order.

[SHIGARAKI, ALL FOR ONE]
I promise, I'll use it in ways

[ALL FOR ONE]
you never dreamed possible.

[ETHAN] Do it, Star!
Don't worry about me.

Crush Tomura!

The expl*si*n from my jet
will incinerate him.

You have to!

[STAR AND STRIPE]
No. He regenerates too quickly.

[ETHAN]
Now!

[ALL FOR ONE, SHIGARAKI] I have
to admit, I've been concerned.

[ALL FOR ONE] I couldn't have
New Order joining One For All

in the battle against me.

After we took the Heroes Public
Safety Commission off the board,

I made sure my friends
overseas made moves

in their own countries,
spreading fear far and wide,

delaying any foreign heroes
from being dispatched to Japan.

The idea was to
complete my body,

steal One For All, and
when the time was right,

take New Order for myself.

One For All.

The crystallized power that
could thwart my every design.

Once I have it in my grasp,
those who attempt

to stand against me
will be crushed

like ants beneath my heel.

Whether you knew it or not,

you coming here of your own
accord and forcing my hand

was the scenario
I wanted to avoid most.

I had to take my chance
on this incomplete body,

praying that it would hold up.

But, lo!

It appears my little
wager paid off.

Goodbye, America!

[ALL gasp]

"Cathleen Bate will
not succumb to Decay!"

[ETHAN]
She spared me.

Star! You idiot!

[SHIGARAKI] Even your pilots
can tell you screwed up.

[STAR AND STRIPE groans]

[STAR AND STRIPE]
It's no good.

I've hit the limit of how much
I can enhance myself.

I can't stop falling apart!

It's mine!

[ALL FOR ONE] You started
decaying the same moment

I began to absorb your Quirk.

And since New Order
is an ability

that must be activated
via verbal command,

you had to choose
between saving your body

or saving your power.

You prioritized your survival,
and now you've lost everything.

This is where the
end begins, Yoichi.

When we read those
comics together so long ago,

you thought I stopped reading

because I didn't know
there was more story.

[SHIGARAKI]
New Order!

[ALL FOR ONE]
But that's not the case.

I simply knew how it would end.

I'll start with "The Air."

[PILOTS gasp]

[SHIGARAKI grunts]

[WEDGE] Are you seeing this?
Is he exploding?

[SHIGARAKI]
What's going on?

It's like my Quirks
are rupturing.

[ETHAN]
No way. Star!

[STAR AND STRIPE]
Thing is, exploding the jet

wouldn't be enough.

So before Tomura Shigaraki
got me, I made a new rule.

"New Order...

[STAR AND STRIPE]
...will rage against any other

Quirk it encounters!"

[screaming]

You treacherous swine!

You cheated!

[STAR AND STRIPE]
The worst outcome would've been

for him to steal my power
with no repercussion.

Sure, it would have been nice

to keep my body from
disintegrating, too.

But you can't always
get what you want.

If this is the trade-off?

If I must die to give the
world a chance at peace,

it's a small price to pay.

[STAR AND STRIPE] Thank you
for everything, my brothers.

Commander Agpar,
I've been such a pain.

Please forgive me.

[WEDGE]
No.

[ETHAN]
Star.

[SHIGARAKI] It feels like
my Quirks are at w*r!

New Order is cannibalizing them.

I must fight it.

I can steal a Quirk
or pass it to somebody.

But I can't just trash it.

I have to give New Order away.

A pilot. That'll work.

[ETHAN]
Fire!

[ETHAN]
Don't let him recover!

Star's still fighting the good
fight somewhere inside of him!

[STAR AND STRIPE growling]

[SHIGARAKI]
My Reflect Quirk.

It's been destroyed!

[ETHAN]
Keep it up!

He's getting weaker!

Vaporize him!

Star's sacrifice
will not be in vain!

[STAR AND STRIPE yelling]

[SHIGARAKI]
This can't be real.

My Quirks are being destroyed
one by one by New Order!

[STAR AND STRIPE]
You saved me.

And because of that, you changed
the course of my life.

I was able to lose myself
in this wonderful dream.

[STAR AND STRIPE]
So, All Might.

[STAR AND STRIPE]
This is me returning the favor.

[SHIGARAKI]
Breaking apart. Gotta hurry.

Damn it!

[ALL FOR ONE] The specter of
All Might will not best me!

[ETHAN]
After him! Don't let him escape!

[SHIGARAKI] I had the foresight
to steal a wing Quirk

from my darling Nomu
right before he exploded.

If I add more power to these
wings, I can outfly them!

I have to give
New Order to someone.

A host.

[SHIGARAKI]
If I don't, I won't survive.

[STAR AND STRIPE] I copied his
hairstyle, down to the color!

[SHIGARAKI]
It's your fault. Again.

No matter where I go,
it's always you.

All Might!

[ETHAN]
I'm losing control. Damn it!

[ETHAN]
Star.

[STAR AND STRIPE]
Starting today,

you guys are my
ride-or-die brothers.

Let's fight together
until death do us part!

[STAR AND STRIPE] All Might.
This is me returning the favor.

[ETHAN]
Star. Star and Stripe.

[ETHAN]
You surpassed him.

Did you know that?

[ETHAN] You've always been
the greatest hero.

[VILLAIN A]
Ugh. There's nothing on TV!

Why is every
channel off the air?

[KASHI] What'd you expect?
The TV stations were evacuated.

At least this dump still
has water and electricity.

I guess it'd be too much to ask
for a little entertainment

on top of that, huh?

Fresh out the slammer,
and what do those fools do?

Rampage through cities and bring
life to a screeching halt.

Least I'm smart enough
to hunker down out of town.

[VILLAINS A yelps]

What the hell?

[SHIGARAKI panting]

Is he a pro?

No, that can't be right.

--It's a ghost!
--[SHIGARAKI] Still time.

I'm not dead yet.

C'mere!

Ms. Star must've
imposed a final rule

onto New Order.

Now it refuses to play nice
with my other Quirks.

In that case, my best
move is to steal

this guy's power and
make him Quirkless.

Then I'll store New Order
inside his body.

You idiot.

[gasps]

"New Order will rage against
any other Quirk it encounters!"

Thanks to the army
of Quirks you've got

stored up inside you,
New Order's been torn to shreds.

Destroyed.

I regret that I wasn't able
to k*ll you, John Doe.

But I'm comforted by
one irrefutable truth.

As long as people stand up
to help one another,

there will be someone who
embodies the spirit of heroism.

And they will defeat you.

Enough talk.

In reality, the winner is
the last man standing.

Be gone, you corpse.

[SHIGARAKI]
Someone who's a hero.

[SHIGARAKI]
Midoriya.

[IZUKU] The heroes and police
swooped in immediately,

searching for anything that
could lead them to Shigaraki.

But all they found was the wake
of destruction he left behind.

Once again,
he managed to disappear.

Word of Star and Stripe's
death spread quickly.

The woman thought to be our
strongest hero was gone.

This news shook the world,

terrifying governments
across the globe.

The effect was clear.

[SALAAM grunts]
I'm not being deployed?

You're abandoning Japan!

[GOVERNMENT SECRETARY A]
No, Salaam!

We're making sure our
people are kept safe.

[IZUKU] If you have no heroes,
your country becomes a target.

So governments decided that
rather than helping people

in a faraway land, they would
protect their own citizens.

We had to accept the truth.

We'd have no outside
help in our fight.

Cassie. I should've been there.

[ETHAN] Star left more than just
a legacy of bravery behind.

The X-s we arrived in
recorded every bit of info

we could gather during the
fight with Tomura Shigaraki.

That includes data on his
biological responses

and analysis of each
Quirk he exhibited.

It's all yours.

I've no doubt this'll help
take that monster down.

Surely your people
are researching him.

Maybe this'll answer
some questions.

[IZUKU]
And then, the following day...

An extension?

The American pilots
were able to extract

some very enlightening data
during their battle.

We've confirmed that
Shigaraki's body was expected

to be at percent tomorrow.

But thanks to Star and Stripe,

he won't be on his feet
for at least a week.

This is her parting gift to us.

A strategic delay.

Her sacrifice bought
us time to plan.

[ALL MIGHT]
When Shigaraki stole New Order,

it burned through his
body like a poison.

We don't know how many
Quirks he had stockpiled.

But we believe a
good number of them

were destroyed by Star's attack.

Which means we should
go after him.

It's likely the best
chance we'll ever get.

I agree.

We have to make the most
of this unexpected delay.

Shigaraki and All For One
must be defeated.

We still have teams
working civilian evacuation,

but every hero not
on search and rescue

is looking for Shigaraki
and the League.

This set All For One back,

but there's no telling what
his next move will be.

His response could be brutal.

Whether we find them
or they show themselves,

this will lead to
an all-out w*r.

Consider our foes.

There's Shigaraki.

Injured, but still capable
of mass destruction.

All For One, who plots
from the shadows.

Dabi, the resentful madman
whose flames rival Endeavor's.

Himiko Toga, a girl who
loves to toy with us.

At least six Near High Ends.

The members of the Liberation
Front who evaded capture.

The escaped convicts who
continue to sow seeds of chaos

at All For One's request.

[SHOJI] And likely,
enemies we don't know about.

[ALL MIGHT]
Yes. There will be more.

Meanwhile, our odds look bleak.

The number of heroes
we have ready to deploy

has been cut in half.

I know that Star just
died in the line of duty.

But in order for you to protect
yourselves and those you want

to protect throughout the world,
you need to use this extension

to become as strong
as you possibly can.

What the hell do you
think we've been doing?

[ALL MIGHT grunts]

You may not've noticed
since you and Deku

were off campus so much.

And even when you were here,
your visits were brief.

[OJIRO] Ever since we fought
in Gunga and Jaku,

we've been training intensively,

just like the
Pussycats taught us to.

As much as we can
in the dorms, anyway.

We intend to stand
side-by-side with Midoriya.

We'll keep fighting
until Shigaraki

and the others are defeated.

No mercy.

When we're done here,
Kacchan and the others

said they'd spar with me.

With their help,
I'll complete One For All--

What?!

I didn't say that, ya damn nerd!

Did those jailbreakers
pop your eardrums?

Not this again!

[KATSUKI]
Well. I guess I do wanna see

how my new Cluster move
works against you.

If it can take on One For All,
I'll be that much closer

to obliterating Shigaraki
and All For One.

We'll keep training.

Anyone wanna beat me up?
I'm so down!

Aren't you getting tired of
being everybody's punching bag?

[KIRISHIMA] How else am I
supposed to make sure

I'm getting harder?

[TENYA]
We must carry on Star's legacy.

[MINETA]
Losing that hottie is so sad.

[OJIRO]
Have some respect.

[ALL MIGHT]
Now. Shall we get started,

you buncha newbies?

[ALL MIGHT]
The zygotes from back then

hatched a long time ago.

They're spreading their wings,

ready to fly into the oncoming
storm with no hesitation.

All For One.

You made an incredibly
stupid mistake.

I'll say it again.

This is one mighty
class of heroes.

[IZUKU]
Here's the preview!

In order to prepare
for the coming battle,

we continue to push our limits
and improve our Quirks.

But we're not alone at UA.

Evil has had its tendrils
in our school for a while now,

eating away at us
from the inside.

Once the truth is revealed,
there'll be nowhere else to run.

You must face your fears.

Next time, "Villain."

The light of justice will
illuminate the darkness.

Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
