07x04 - (Dub) The Story of How We All Became Heroes

[bunniefuu]

[AOYAMA] The USJ,
and the training camp?

I led them to us both times.

Midoriya. It's true.

I am a revolting villain.

Of course not!

So, I want you to take
my hand. Right now.

Because I promise you,
you can still be a hero!

We should look at this
as a new advantage.

Given the state of affairs,

Aoyama's the only person we know
who can trick All For One!

[AOYAMA gasps]

[AOYAMA]
Why? I don't get it.

[AOYAMA] Why don't they turn
their backs on me?

They know I'm a terrible person.

Hey, guys?

Maybe you should hit pause for
a second and think this through.

A crime is a crime.

I hate to point this out,
but you know,

you're the ones who were
hurt most by his actions.

Do you really want to
trust an admitted traitor?

[TENYA]
Yes, sir.

We can put his actions
in the past.

Besides, none of us noticed
how tortured he was,

so we have to take some
responsibility, too.

He's our classmate.

And he's sitting
in front of us weeping

like the epitome of despair.

That's why we're holding
out a hand to him.

Because we're friends.

We care.

And we want to redeem him.

If he wants us
to be equals again,

he'll have to accept our
help and stand with us.

[KATSUKI] I'm not forgetting
what I went through

after the training camp.

I think five Howitzer blasts'll
make up for that, though.

Don't you think that's
an extreme response?

Iida's right.

Aoyama only went along
with All For One's orders

because there was no way
he could beat him.

Now we have a shot.

Plus, he told his parents he
wanted to stop, didn't he?

And, Aoyama,
you gotta remember.

No one cared that Midoriya
was born Quirkless.

We didn't turn on him,

even though he was hiding
his tears from us just like you.

You were there when
we went after him.

We told him we'd help him and
we'd share his responsibilities.

We said, from now on,

he wouldn't have to
face anything alone.

Aoyama.

Meddling when you don't have to
is the essence of being a hero!

You're still one of us!

[STUDENTS chatter]

Everybody calm down.

There are still protocols
we have to follow.

And right now,
we need these three

to fully cooperate with
our investigation.

They've said All For One
won't fall for any lies.

As you heard earlier,

any dishonesty will be
met with violence.

I understand how
you must be feeling.

But we can't be rash.

[AIZAWA]
Midoriya.

You suggested we could
lure out All For One.

I don't suppose you
have an actual plan.

Not yet. Nothing solid.

[AIZAWA]
Right. That's what I expected.

Detective? As Class A's
homeroom teacher,

I also bear the blame
for what's happened.

And I feel the same
way my students do.

You're kidding!

Aoyama. You can rest assured.

I've no intention of
expelling you from UA.

[AOYAMA gasps]

[AIZAWA] I know my students
well, and I see a way forward.

You have a plan?

Before I start, can you
make absolutely sure

that the Aoyama's won't be able
to hear what I have to say?

Sure. You got it.

[AIZAWA]
Here's what I propose we do.

[NEZU]
I understand.

We'll need to examine
each location thoroughly.

But if the elements fall
into place, this could work.

Yes. Success will
depend on him, though.

We only have a week if we
want to use our advantage.

We can't just sit on our hands.

[TSUKAUCHI]
It's a plan worth considering.

I'll take this back to HQ

and start hashing out
the particulars.

Obviously, the only people
at UA who should know

anything about this are
those in the room with us.

This will be okay!

[KIRISHIMA] We should
make sure we're prepped.

[SHOJI]
Agreed.

[TENYA] I need to do
something about my costume.

It's basically unwearable
at this point.

[IZUKU]
Yeah, mine, too.

[YAOYOROZU] This isn't
the time to stop training.

We can still improve our Quirks.

[JIRO]
Def.

[HAGAKURE] Guys.
Let's make sure we beat them!

[STUDENTS]
Yeah!

[IZUKU] I have to be able to
fight at a moment's notice.

Ready for any opponent.

So there's an important
piece of gear I need fixed.

[TENYA grunts]

[TENYA]
Déjà vu.

[HATSUME]
Ugh! Ouchies!

That hurt.

Oh, wow, it's been
a minute, Midoriya!

How's it goin'?

[gasps]

[HATSUME]
Sorry about the door.

Did you two need something?

Always happy to hear
your equipment requests.

[IZUKU]
Danger Sense didn't alert me!

I must be more tired
than I thought.

Please maintain composure!

Anyway, hello again, Hatsume.

We stopped by because we're
hoping you have spare time

to work on our costumes.

[HATSUME] Hm? Why not
ask the item agency,

since they usually handle
those kinda repairs?

Well... You see, the agency
is basically defunct.

Much like every other business.

The support course
is our only real option.

Oh! Not cool! That sounds
like a major pain.

[TENYA]
Uh!

Ah?

[IZUKU]
Don't tell me.

Is Hatsume totally unaware

of the current state
of the country?

[POWER LOADER coughs]
Hatsume!

Can't we get through one day
without the lab exploding?

You two are here to
get costumes repaired,

is that right? Come on in.

[TENYA] You've changed
the look of the place.

[POWER LOADER]
We had to, given what

the principal's asked of us.

I'm in charge of keeping the
UA Barrier up and running,

along with research
and development.

The entire support
course is helping out.

Oh, wow. This is incredible.

Whoa, fancy Mid-Gauntlets.

They utilize the latest
in compression technology.

They're prototypes from the US,
so I can't just buy new ones.

You think you'd
be able to fix them?

[HATSUME]
Hm... Would you need 'em soon?

Oh, yeah.

Well, you're outta
luck then. Sorry!

[IZUKU, TENYA gasp]

Those are completely trashed.

I'd have to make you
new ones from scratch!

Sadly, I've got no condenium
on hand right now.

No babies for you.
What a shame!

Okay, but why are you running
away while saying that?

And my armor?
Could you fix it for me?

Nope! I'd need blueprints!

Denied!

Don't you worry.
We can make you new gear.

We're Hatsume's classmates.

[TENYA]
That's extremely kind of you.

I'm in your debt.

Nah, don't worry about it.

I have to admit, I'm surprised.

A tech prodigy like her would
normally jump at the chance

to take on difficult
projects like these.

Hatsume, what are you
working on right now?

[IZUKU]
A flying shelter?

[POWER LOADER] Hatsume's
been vital as we look at ways

to reinforce the UA Barrier.

Specifically, she keeps coming
up with new mechanisms

that'll help with evacuations.

I've said this before,
but no one has unique ideas

or enthusiasm on par with hers.

[HATSUME] If you want a way
to cool down your legs,

then why don't you just try
running with your arms, instead?

[HATSUME] Even if an idea's
an A+ right now,

it could drop to an A-
if I don't nurture it.

Like I always say,

when I dream up a new baby,
I've gotta raise it right!

[IZUKU] She has definitely
said that before.

That's amazing. This is why

she doesn't know what's
happening outside the school.

She's completely focused on
designing new inventions.

We're lucky to have
somebody like her

working behind the scenes.

Don't be so
close-minded, Midoriya.

You sound as dense
as polyethylene.

[IZUKU]
Sorry, I don't follow.

[HATSUME] It's not like
I've got blinders on.

I know the messed-up situation
you heroes are in.

We're not fighters down here.

That's why we're pouring so
many hours into our innovations.

We're trying to
protect people, too!

With our skills.

[HATSUME] At heart,
we've got the same goals.

These inventions are how
the support course

does our own "hero work!"

Heh. You are a her--

[HATSUME] I couldn't make the
exact same gauntlets.

These are inferior
to your last ones.

But if you can live with that,

please put those
babies to good use.

[IZUKU] They've even
got built-in gloves?

Did you make those with
your left hand just now?

[TENYA grunts]

[HATSUME] And Iida, this
isn't a one-to-one replica

of the armor you destroyed,
but make the most of it.

[TENYA]
I'm so grateful!

We just found our
measuring tape.

I guess we'll work
on something else.

[HATSUME]
Will you pass on a message

to the rest of the hero course?

Let's win this w*r!

[BOTH]
Of course.

[SERO] Hey! I figured
it would take you longer.

We were just getting ready to--

[BOTH gasp]

[TENYA]
Excellent! We made it in time.

[SERO] Faces aren't supposed
to implode like that!

[MT. LADY]
I heard about the tragedy

involving your classmate.

But I'm afraid you can't
afford to lose time

processing what's happened.

Our best plan is still
to track down

the Paranormal
Liberation Front and

the League of Villains,
then take them out

in one calculated swoop.

That's the quickest
path to victory

in a messy conflict
like the one we're in.

If we hesitate
or freeze in fear,

they'll get the upper hand.

I wonder. Will Aoyama
come around?

[IZUKU]
I believe in him.

He'll definitely return.

And we'll fight
this fight together.

[KATSUKI] Hopefully that
doesn't backfire on us.

[TODOROKI]
I think it'll be fine.

More than anyone else,
he's looked inside.

And figured out exactly
who he wants to be.

That's enough yapping for now.

Midoriya, Bakugo, and Todoroki.

Listen up.

Each of you will form a
separate team and spread out.

UA High School
Hero Course Class -A,

it's time you
joined the search!

[IZUKU]
Meanwhile, elsewhere.

All right, Output
Level One Hundred.

Time for Nejire Flood!

[roars]

Are any of the evacuees
injured, Suneater?

[AMAJIKI]
Uh, no? They're very strong.

Thanks so much. You saved us!

We thought we'd be okay
in the countryside,

but the villains were
swarming the place.

There's no need to worry.
You're perfectly safe, now!

We'll take you to
Shiketsu High School.

They've got a stronghold
that rivals UA!

[CITIZEN A] Please. I wanna
see my rescuer's face!

[AMAJIKI]
No. Just leave.

I can't do this.

[RYUKYU] Of course, we want
to protect the citizens.

But still.

The more people who evacuate,

the less intel we'll get
about the villains.

It's a shame.

[FATGUM] With the way
things are going,

we won't be able to
launch any surprise attacks.

Neither side will hold anything
back from this point forward.

I can feel it in the air.

A terrible, total w*r is about
to break out in earnest.

[IZUKU]
Central Hospital.

A crucial meeting
place for those

plotting the final fight
against All For One.

Several police teams have
even moved operations closer

so they can
collaborate in secret.

[ALL MIGHT]
So. Plan B.

We should go over
important points again

to ensure we're all
on the same page.

Young Aoyama is on site.

But we're still waiting
on his test results.

His confession threw
us for a loop.

It's only natural that we're
second-guessing loyalties.

Fortunately, each of you
has been deemed trustworthy

based on various factors
and your past actions.

You're cleared.

Endeavor, Jeanist,
and other key heroes

are currently in the field.

But we'll make sure
they stay in the know.

Consider this information
both urgent and privileged.

Don't repeat a single word.

We can't afford any more leaks.

I understand you're
being cautious.

But I have to say...

[PUSSYCATS]
We're the Wild, Wild Pussycats!

[RAGDOLL] It's a shame Ryuko
and the others weren't included.

[HAWKS]
My apologies.

It's not like we suspect
them of wrongdoing.

Meow?

Meow.

Shigaraki and his fiends
are out there using

my Search ability for evil.

My claws are out to stop them.

Let's begin.

What are the important
points you mentioned?

First off, regardless of
the plan we're talking about,

our success likely
relies on one thing.

[ALL MIGHT]
Splitting up our foes.

Based on the data recovered
from Star and Stripe's fight,

Tomura Shigaraki is
currently far more powerful

than All For One.

[ALL MIGHT] And I know
that everyone is aware

of how strong All For One is.

You no doubt saw the
reports from Camino.

[ALL MIGHT] The two of them can
communicate via radio waves,

but also through a
shared consciousness.

We first noticed this during
the attack on Tartarus,

though we don't
know much about it.

If they coordinate and
attack us at the same time,

we will not defeat them.

Hold on. If that's true,

why didn't the two of them
show up and fight Star together?

All For One likely guessed
how New Order functioned.

He knew that if Star
called his name,

she'd be able to impose any
rule she wanted onto him.

Right now, we're scoping
out battlegrounds.

The goal is for us to keep them
at least ten kilometers apart.

Consider that the minimum
distance we need

for us to have a chance.

Of course, they're
likely expecting as much.

They'll do their best
to counter our plan.

[ALL MIGHT]
Exactly right, Tsukauchi.

Dabi's fearsome flame will
burn everything in its path.

We've run into
that problem already

at the training camp and
at the mountain villa.

We can't allow him
to be on the field.

His interference there
would cr*pple us.

I see where this is going.

If we want to separate
All For One and Shigaraki,

then we'll also have
to send Dabi away.

He's not our only
concern, though.

That's right. To win this...

...we have to scatter everybody.

Their entire vanguard.

We must lure out
the enemy, divide them,

and systematically crush them.

Considering how things
have gone so far,

aren't we being
a little optimistic?

If this was easy,
we'd have done it by now.

[ALL MIGHT]
Yes. In order to achieve

ideal fighting conditions,
we need to do something

they'll never expect.

Aoyama, huh?

The boy is still
emotionally shaken.

He was born without a Quirk,

and then used as a
pawn his entire life.

Look. I feel bad for the kid,

but we can't make a decision
based on empathy for him.

He still knowingly sold
out the entire world.

In my position,
you learn to judge somebody

based on their actions.

I understand.
But I have hope.

I believe the boy
will see the light.

Because I have great
faith in another person.

His homeroom teacher,
Shota Aizawa.

I've got his test results.

As far as we can tell,
there's nothing irregular.

His nervous system
looks normal to me.

He seems like a
perfectly healthy kid.

So the Quirk that
let All For One seal

Lady Nagant's fate must
have been acquired

after All Might
defeated him in Camino.

Come to think of it,
if All For One were able

to plant a b*mb in a person
that would explode

if they ever betrayed him...

...he wouldn't have had to make

an example out of some
pawn by k*lling them.

Or threaten to m*rder
someone who lied to him.

Instead, All For One
relied on something else.

He planted a seed of fear
in this boy and his parents.

Are you scared?

Hate to tell you this,
but you won't make many friends

in life who'll stick up for you
like your classmates did.

And he's sitting
in front of us weeping

like the epitome of despair.

That's why we're holding
out a hand to him.

[AIZAWA]
So, what are you afraid of?

Is it All For One?

That's right.

But also that I can't
twinkle like they do.

That terrifies me.

It's like the more they believe
in me, the harder they try

to help, the less I'm able
to believe in myself.

Even if I could
take their hands,

what if All For One
appears in front of me

and I end up
betraying them again?

What if--if I'm not
strong enough?

That's why I want to go away.

They should lock me
somewhere without any light.

I'll die alone and
no one will get hurt.

I expect the police
will take it easy on you.

But still. This won't go away.

Aoyama, when this fight is over,

you may not be able
to call UA home anymore.

Your classmates were being nice

about this because
they're your friends.

I am your teacher, though.

My duty's to be honest with you.

[AIZAWA]
The fear planted inside of him

must be ripped out by the root.

You must keep fighting.
It's the only option you have.

Got that?

I'm not stupid. I know
we have to beat him.

Obviously.

And the only way
to repent is to help.

To do my part. But I--

Then you know the truth.

Using you like this may make us
no different than All For One.

It's not fair. But I
won't let you give up.

Ya hear me?
You're not going to just

sit around waiting for death,

tormented by your
coerced actions.

That's not your future as long
as I'm your homeroom teacher,

and you, in turn,
are my student.

You can rest assured.

I've no intention of
expelling you from UA.

Because I won't let any
of my charges live life

indebted to someone, you will
not drown in your guilt.

Even though you may
be miserable, you're going

to stand beside your class
like they stood for you.

We will protect you. I promise.

As long as you stick with
those kids, you'll be okay.

But, sir.

What difference can
one person make?

Especially a criminal?

[AIZAWA] He's gotta be
scared out of his mind.

Anyone would be. That's why...

[AIZAWA] We're not gonna
make you do anything alone.

The students of UA,
the teachers,

the pro heroes, everybody?

That path ahead
of us is a path

we'll all walk together.

[STUDENT B]
Hey! What are you doing?

We should've been gone already!

Right.

[IZUKU]
Here's the preview!

The final battle
rapidly approaches.

Heroes. Villains.

No matter which side you're on,

this w*r will take an
emotional toll on you.

Is there a past you
don't want to remember?

Or a tomorrow you
want to change?

All of us are fighting
toward an ideal future.

Next time, "Let You Down."
What will we gain?

And in the end,
what will it cost us?

Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
