My Hero Academia (僕のヒーローアカデミア)

I can't remember the last time I did laundry.

Izuku Midoriya is carrying the burden of his power

and trying to keep us safe.

But he still has a lot to learn.

He's just a kid.

I beg you!

Let UA

continue to be his hero academy!

I'm back at UA. But...

Don't be too stubborn.

Sometimes you have to kill a person in order to save them.

Be sure to remember that.

I don't know what I should do next, that's true.

And I get that the only way to stop him might be to kill him.

But...

I wanna save that little kid.

The final battle draws near.

But oddly enough, I'm not afraid.

Together, we'll set things right.

People will smile again.

We'll go beyond and forge a bright future.

Tokyo, Japan's largest city, has gone dark.

The streets are empty.

Everyday life has ground to a halt.

Fear now controls this metropolitan area

and others like it.

The cause? A group called the Paranormal Liberation Front

that has spread havoc throughout this country.

Their leaders are the infamous criminal All For One,

sometimes known as the Symbol of Evil,

and Tomura Shigaraki, the madman's assumed protégé.

Recently, the group released dangerous inmates

from maximum-security prisons across Japan.

These fugitive villains, commonly referred to

as "jailbreakers," have taken over the streets.

Japan's heroes are said to be working diligently

alongside the police to put these escaped criminals

back behind bars.

But the jailbreakers are overwhelming them.

As such, the Japanese government has requested

a temporary dispatch of heroes from f--

What the hell do you think you're doin'?

I, uh-- Nothing.

I'm just reporting on the current situation in Tokyo.

Your viewers must be dyin' to see some bloodshed.

If you were smart,

you'd worry about your own country's problems!

Bastards!

Ethan. Are we being deployed?

No, not yet.

The mess in Japan is making waves.

Villains across the globe are getting bolder.

I doubt the White House wants to send us abroad and risk

getting caught with their pants down if there's an attack.

Morons! Even if there was trouble at home,

we could have the heroes back in the States

in two hours, no sweat.

Ya got that right.

So you'll gimme a ride.

Right, bros?

Star.

Don't blame us if you get in trouble, Star!

It wasn't a question

of whether or not I would help.

So why not start sooner rather than later?

And besides, we're talking about a direct request from All Might.

If my master is in trouble, I don't have to think twice

before heeding his call!

We're at a critical juncture.

The police and heroes have their hands full with swarms

of escaped inmates rampaging across Japan.

Which leaves us free to plot and prepare however we see fit.

Though this island nation may be small,

we'll still win at hide-and-seek.

Wouldn't it be easier if we left the country?

Perhaps. But it's not ideal.

Especially since hiding is only a short-term issue.

And then, of course, I must take control of One For All.

A midgame objective.

That's not your end goal?

No. I have a long, intricate design for my future.

In somewhat of a twist, the biggest hurdle I might face,

and my biggest opportunity, is about to show up at our door.

As you've no doubt realized,

I have many loyal friends around the globe.

Fortunately, while All Might may have eradicated organized crime

in Japan, it positively flourishes overseas.

If I tell my friends to run riot,

countries will be forced to consider domestic safety

before offering aid to others.

So what's the big chance coming our way?

Her name is Star and Stripe.

The strongest woman alive.

The hero who reigns supreme in the land of the free,

the very birthplace of heroes!

Few could hope to stand against her.

It's a gamble, certainly!

Her interference will be devastating

if she gets the upper hand.

But if I can steal her Quirk,

there'll be no fight we can't win.

Now, Iguchi.

Unlike Toya and the others,

you've been devoted to acting as my personal bodyguard.

However, I'm afraid you're needed elsewhere.

From now on, your focus will be

on Tomura Shigaraki's crusade.

Understand, Spinner?

Live up to your name and spin a story for us.

As a heteromorph, you were born into a difficult life.

Hated. A nobody.

But you can hear the change in the wind, can't you?

There are many lurking in the shadows

who sympathize with your plight.

We had no place in the old regime.

And now, the great Re-Destro is captured.

But behold!

Our hopes and dreams have not been quashed!

The embers of liberation still burn around us!

We were assigned to Spinner's Vanguard Action Support Regiment

because we are all of us alike.

We recognize each other's pain.

We must remember Skeptic's stirring words,

since he is still free to speak.

Liberate yourselves.

Wipe out the vestiges of the establishment.

See that Re-Destro's revolution becomes a reality.

Recruit new warriors to the cause.

You'll find it easy to open the minds

of those who live as you do.

I don't care for the League,

but in these circumstances, I have to rely on them.

Re-Destro found hope in those deviants.

So it doesn't matter if the League of Villains

are true comrades who actually believe in our mission or not.

We will mold them into the real thing!

Champion their names and deeds!

And when Shigaraki destroys the future,

we will sow the seeds of new growth!

They're approaching fast.

She'll be here any second.

We can't afford to waste time.

Let's talk strategy as soon as she lands.

Honestly? Just knowing she's coming

is a huge reassurance.

Hope she doesn't get in too much trouble

with her boss, though.

Her rash nature may end up being our salvation.

I share your relief.

Plus, I've always wanted to chat with her about the prized denim

popularized during America's Gold Rush.

-- -- This is Tsukauchi!

Endeavor! Hawks! Emergency!

You're on the way, right?

We just got a report.

There's someone in her flight path.

It's him! He's come out of hiding!

Such a warm welcome already?

You move pretty fast.

Does that mean you're the criminal known as All For One?

Good question.

Possibly. Who knows what I am?

So. This is All For One.

Negative, Star.

That's Tomura Shigaraki.

According to our intel, he can destroy

whatever he gets his hands on.

He's also displayed super strength,

regenerative abilities, and EMP attacks.

Get ready.

Disengage autopilot!

Anti-pulse fields up!

Roger that, Bravo leader.

Anti-pulse fields activated!

Stupid question, but engage or retreat?

You know which.

Time to smash!

Roger that, Star.

I hope one of us gets to the landing point safely.

Battle formation!

Look alive. Formation Delta!

Roger that, Bravo leader.

Now, then. Let's take this villain down.

I don't want anyone holding back.

Fight with honor, and I'll make sure your remains

get to your loved ones.

No mercy!

What a strange feeling.

It seems correct to say that I'm Tomura Shigaraki.

And yet.

There's no doubt that I'm me, as well.

It's been like this ever since I woke up.

Heavy Payload, plus Radio Waves and Air Cannon.

Evade!

I know what your Quirk is.

Whoever touches the other first wins, America!

You may know what I'm packing,

but I'm the best there is,

'cause I'm still gonna beat your ass, boy!

"The Air!"
