SIGN    Several days prior to the war
[00:03] Jeanist
    We have to strike at Shigaraki
    at the Coffin in the Sky.
[00:06] Jeanist
    On the U.A. campus.
SIGN    Team Stop Tomura Shigaraki
[00:08] Jeanist
    If he reaches the ground,
    our plan unravels at the seams.
[00:11] Katsuki
    Forever with the jeans talk.
[00:14] Amajiki
    Because, like back at Jaku, we'd be at an
    overwhelming disadvantage on the ground?
[00:19] Amajiki
    I keep hearing about that.
[00:21] Jeanist
    No, it's a matter of unified purpose.
[00:23] Jeanist
    As in, what are we protecting?
[00:27] Hado
    We're thoroughly evacuating that whole area.
[00:29] Hado
    You mean we'll be protecting buildings?
[00:31] Edge Shot
    We're past the point of worrying
    about damage to structures.
[00:36] Edge Shot
    That was true the moment we picked
    Kamino Ward for Dabi's battle.
[00:40] Edge Shot
    Our top priority will be safeguarding
    peoples' lives and the future.
[00:44] Mirko
    Enough with the intro!
[00:46] Jeanist
    The problem is the chaos in
    Shigaraki's personality.
[00:50] Jeanist
    It'd be better if he stuck
    to the All For One persona
[00:52] Jeanist
    because a ruler must have
    subjects in order to rule.
[00:56] Katsuki
    If he's the Shigaraki persona,
    he'll be that much more destructive.
[01:01] Jeanist
    That's right. Now that Shigaraki's
    power and hatred are brewing,
[01:06] Jeanist
    there's a chance his thirst for destruction
    may be directed at the Earth itself.
[01:11] Jeanist
    We have to consider what happens
    after we win this battle.
[01:14] Jeanist
    Even if we stand our ground
    and overcome this,
[01:16] Jeanist
    we still must have a foundation
    on which to rebuild.
[01:19] Jeanist
    What we're going to protect is...
SIGN    Shiketsu High School Emergency Evacuation Zone
[02:57] horned man
    Oh, our home...
[02:59] horned man
    We've had that farm ever
    since my grandpa's time.
[03:05] Inko
    Izuku...
[03:10] Shigaraki
    I aim my Decay at the depths,
    not at the surface.
[03:14] Shigaraki
    That way, a part of Shizuoka
    is gone in a mere moment.
[03:19] Shigaraki
    This country is about 378,000
    square kilometers in area.
[03:23] Shigaraki
    At this point, I could sink that
    beneath the waves in a week's time.
[03:29] Shigaraki
    That's what it would mean to destroy everything,
    leaving no hope of recovery!
[03:40] Izuku
    If I use Gearshift, Fa Jin,
    and Danger Sense at the same time,
[03:44] Izuku
    then unlike earlier,
    I can go on the offensive!
[03:47] Izuku
    I have to hurry and find
    some clue to stopping him!
[03:52] Shigaraki
    Master is dead.
[03:55] Shigaraki
    Hell, all because I didn't
    break that one completely.
[04:00] Shigaraki
    But you know, I'm grateful in a way.
[04:04] Shigaraki
    He made me stronger!
[04:08] Shigaraki
    Enough that I can get
    used to this guy's speed!
[04:15] Shigaraki
    You were still quick enough
    to hack off my fingers.
[04:19] Shigaraki
    But...
[04:21] Banjo (Fifth)
    Kid, Shinomori's been...
[04:24] Banjo (Fifth)
    Danger Sense has been...
[04:27] Shigaraki
    How long... can you last?
SIGN    History's Greatest Villain
SIGN    About a dozen seconds ago
[04:49] Yoichi (First)
    It doesn't trigger much emotion.
[04:51] Yoichi (First)
    This fight was in our successors'
    hands from the start.
[04:56] Yoichi (First)
    We'll defeat Tomura Shigaraki.
    Right now, that's our reason for being.
[05:01] Banjo (Fifth)
    But things keep getting worse, bit by bit!
[05:05] Banjo (Fifth)
    Every time he's attacked, he regenerates.
[05:07] Banjo (Fifth)
    We've got to find a way to
    break through that wall!
[05:16] Kudo (Second)
    Shinomori?!
[05:21] Shinomori (Fourth)
    Look after Ninth!
[05:30] Banjo (Fifth)
    Kid, Shinomori's been...
[05:33] Banjo (Fifth)
    Danger Sense has been stolen!
[05:36] Shigaraki
    The power that's been repeatedly inherited.
[05:39] Shigaraki
    The power that gave Master so much trouble.
[05:42] Shigaraki
    Well, I'm not obsessed with it,
[05:45] Shigaraki
    but I'll take it if it lets me break you.
[05:48] En (Sixth)
    Shinomori's chair!
[05:51] En (Sixth)
    It all happened so abruptly!
[05:54] Banjo (Fifth)
    He forced his way right in here.
[05:57] Banjo (Fifth)
    Just like that, he surpassed
    our combined will!
[06:04] Izuku
    Blackwhip.
[06:05] Izuku
    Fa Jin, plus...
[06:08] Izuku
    Gearshift.
[06:10] Izuku
    Blackchain!
[06:14] Shigaraki
    Wow, no wonder you lasted
    so long against me!
[06:18] Izuku
    He's using Danger Sense against me!
[06:22] Shigaraki
    You're my biggest obstacle.
[06:26] Shigaraki
    I'll destroy you first!
[06:32] Shigaraki
    Are you still treating me like I'm human?!
[06:38] Shigaraki
    "I won't pretend that I
    didn't see you crying"?
[06:43] Shigaraki
    Is that still where your
    head's at, Midoriya?!
[06:48] Shigaraki
    Take a good look!
[06:50] Shigaraki
    I'm no longer there!
[07:01] Izuku
    If I wrap Blackwhip around me multiple
    times and focus on defense,
[07:05] Izuku
    I can still avoid fatal wounds.
[07:10] Izuku
    The mask All Might brought back to me.
[07:17] Bruce (Third)
    You only just started wearing it, so you
    could keep breathing in those surging waves.
[07:22] Bruce (Third)
    And look where you are now.
[07:27] Izuku
    Mt. Fuji.
[07:29] Izuku
    It's so close.
[07:33] Bruce (Third)
    Gearshift could run out at any time.
[07:35] Bruce (Third)
    All you had taken from you was a Quirk.
[07:37] Bruce (Third)
    Looks like it didn't affect
    your physical boost.
[07:41] Bruce (Third)
    Your strength itself is stockpiled
    by One For All, not the individual factors.
[07:46] Bruce (Third)
    You'll just have to endure
    until you recover.
[07:50] En (Sixth)
    With that little strength,
[07:51] En (Sixth)
    isn't he better off running
    for it while he can?
[07:55] Banjo (Fifth)
    En?!
[07:56] En (Sixth)
    Back there, we were spared
    because we had Danger Sense.
[08:01] En (Sixth)
    If Ninth gets touched again,
    even for an instant...
[08:05] En (Sixth)
    none of us may be able
    to escape next time!
[08:08] En (Sixth)
    If we all get taken, it's over!
[08:13] Shigaraki
    I can see you, ghost.
[08:15] Shigaraki
    Were you discussing how to get away?
[08:22] Shigaraki
    You guys have escaped and
    gotten stronger before,
[08:26] Shigaraki
    so I'll destroy you on the spot.
[08:28] Shigaraki
    I'll also destroy anywhere you might run to.
[08:32] Shigaraki
    Because that horizon I'm going to make?
[08:36] Shigaraki
    Spinner was looking forward to seeing it.
[08:41] Shigaraki
    And after I break that thing...
[08:45] Shigaraki
    I'll sink it.
[08:50] Banjo (Fifth)
    Kid!
[08:51] Banjo (Fifth)
    This guy sent you here on purpose!
[08:56] Banjo (Fifth)
    If Decay reaches the mountain,
    it's gonna erupt!
[09:01] En (Sixth)
    Yoichi, that guy's no
    successor of All For One.
[09:07] En (Sixth)
    He enjoys destroying things.
[09:09] En (Sixth)
    He's the embodiment of ruin!
[09:13] Izuku
    It's still all connected somehow.
[09:18] Izuku
    Somewhere inside you!
[09:22] Ochaco
    I don't know what is common sense for her.
[09:26] Shigaraki
    Are you still treating me like I'm human?!
[09:36] Izuku
    You're a person.
[09:41] Izuku
    A person.
[09:48] Izuku
    Inside me...
[09:50] Izuku
    While I was immobilized,
    focusing everything on defense,
[09:53] Izuku
    I kept forcing my muscles
    to flex using Blackwhip.
[09:58] Izuku
    So I could store up strength to the limit,
[10:00] Izuku
    and use Fa Jin to release blasts of air!
[10:04] Izuku
    Delaware Smash!
[10:27] Shigaraki
    You're in top form, Midoriya!
[10:29] Shigaraki
    He blew away both me and enough
    of the ground to interrupt Decay.
[10:34] Shigaraki
    By removing the medium of transmission,
[10:37] Shigaraki
    he can infinitely weaken
    the advance of my Decay.
[10:41] Shigaraki
    But it's just a stopgap measure!
[10:44] Shigaraki
    I'll touch it again and again!
[10:48] Shigaraki
    The dust cloud isn't scattering.
[10:55] Shigaraki
    I get it!
[11:03] Izuku
    I applied Gearshift's Low
    Gear to Smokescreen.
[11:06] Izuku
    I'll make it accumulate.
[11:08] Izuku
    Obscure his field of vision,
    and deploy Blackwhip!
[11:11] Izuku
    Keep on setting off
    Shigaraki's Danger Sense!
[11:15] Izuku
    And while that's happening...
[11:17] Izuku
    I learned the risks of relying on Danger
    Sense while fighting Lady Nagant!
[11:22] En (Sixth)
    You'd go this far just to store up power?
[11:25] En (Sixth)
    But... Ninth.
[11:27] En (Sixth)
    Shigaraki can locate you using Search!
[11:36] Shigaraki
    I'm not blind, you know.
[11:38] Shigaraki
    To your location or your weaknesses.
[11:41] Shigaraki
    You can't even catch your breath!
[11:44] Banjo (Fifth)
    Gearshift has worn off! Recoil time!
[11:47] Shigaraki
    And you can't keep on randomly
    launching those stored-up attacks.
[11:52] Shigaraki
    You're reinforcing your tendons
    and muscles directly from within.
[11:56] Shigaraki
    It's written all over that
    stuff beneath your skin.
[12:01] Shigaraki
    A direct hit might have spelled trouble,
    even for me.
[12:06] Shigaraki
    It must be tough having so
    much to protect, Midoriya.
[12:11] Izuku
    That doesn't mean...
[12:14] Izuku
    I'm going to give up on that crying boy!
[12:23] Shigaraki
    People try to interpret the world based
    on their tiny, limited view of it.
[12:28] Shigaraki
    To make life easier, they make up reasons
    for the things they can't understand.
[12:34] Shigaraki
    You just want to pigeonhole me
    into your own narrow worldview.
[12:40] Shigaraki
    You can see, can't you?
[12:42] Shigaraki
    Just like I can see those ghosts.
[12:46] Shigaraki
    You see inside me, using One For All.
[12:50] Shigaraki
    That's why you were able
    to find me in this smoke.
[12:54] Shigaraki
    Look closely.
[12:57] Shigaraki
    I overcame that crying boy long ago.
[13:01] Shigaraki
    He expanded his worldview as much
    as possible, and became me!
[13:07] Shigaraki
    And I've got nothing holding me back!
[13:15] Izuku (young)
    I want to save that kid.
[13:21] Nana (Seventh)
    Give it up.
[13:23] Nana (Seventh)
    Some people are beyond saving, Izuku.
[13:28] Nana (Seventh)
    This guy is the highest wall your hero
    philosophy could run up against.
[13:32] Nana (Seventh)
    A wall you needn't climb over.
[13:35] Nana (Seventh)
    You have to strike hard enough
    to destroy him without a trace!
[13:38] Nana (Seventh)
    Grin and bear it, Izuku!
[13:40] Nana (Seventh)
    Store up even more than before!
[13:42] Izuku
    No.
[13:45] Izuku
    If so, why did he hang on to that
    heartbreaking past in his heart?
[13:51] Izuku
    All he did was put a lid on it.
[13:55] Izuku
    "You pretended you couldn't see
    those you couldn't protect,
[13:58] Izuku
    and covered up those you hurt."
[14:01] Izuku
    Until that lid breaks...
    I won't stop punching!
[14:09] Kudo (Second)
    That's why I was against it.
[14:12] Kudo (Second)
    Are we now supposed to leave
    it to some crazy illusion
[14:15] Kudo (Second)
    who says he wants to save our archenemy?
[14:18] Kudo (Second)
    I found the idea to be arrogant—born
    of a naïve time of peace.
[14:22] Kudo (Second)
    But I've watched from inside
    long enough to know.
[14:26] Kudo (Second)
    That it's what this boy relies on.
[14:30] Kudo (Second)
    That even loathsome people,
    even Quirkless people...
[14:36] Kudo (Second)
    Deep down, they have a heart
    just like everyone else.
[14:41] Kudo (Second)
    I want to believe that.
[14:53] Kudo (Second)
    It just might be worth a shot.
[14:58] Kudo (Second)
    Do what I'm about to tell you.
[15:02] Kudo (Second)
    I'm going to take a gamble on you, Ninth.
[15:06] Kudo (Second)
    Let go of One For All.
[15:11] Banjo (Fifth)
    Second?!
[15:12] En (Sixth)
    What do you...?!
[15:13] spirit Star
    Master.
[15:21] spirit Star
    Master.
[15:23] spirit Star
    There's a sad child in there.
[15:27] Edge Shot
    All Might.
[15:29] Edge Shot
    All Might!
[15:31] Edge Shot
    Fall asleep and you die! Stay conscious!
[15:33] Edge Shot
    Without comms, we don't
    know what's happening,
[15:36] Edge Shot
    but chances are Midoriya is still fighting.
[15:40] All Might
    A dream?
[15:41] All Might
    No, this feeling...
[15:45] All Might
    is the same as that time.
[15:48] All Might
    It's supposedly far away from me,
[15:51] All Might
    but I feel One For All.
[15:55] All Might
    Its will comes flowing to me.
[16:00] All Might
    That power we put together over time
[16:03] All Might
    is coming apart.
[16:10] Shigaraki
    What was that?
[16:12] Shigaraki
    Why did that cross my mind?
[16:16] Shigaraki
    I thought you were completely destroyed.
[16:19] Star
    As long as people help each other,
[16:22] Star
    someone who inherits the spirit of a hero...
[16:26] Shigaraki
    Destroyed, yet apparently still smoldering!
[16:39] All Might
    You can become a hero.
[16:42] Izuku
    What are you talking about?
[16:45] Izuku
    What do you mean, let go
    of One For All, Second?!
[16:50] Kudo (Second)
    Keep your mind calm.
[16:52] Kudo (Second)
    Or he'll hear you.
[16:55] Kudo (Second)
    That dark lead-like clump inside Shigaraki?
[16:59] Kudo (Second)
    That's all the little bits of anger,
[17:02] Kudo (Second)
    discontent, and memory he had inside.
[17:07] Kudo (Second)
    They were all pulled together,
    then amassed into one.
[17:11] Kudo (Second)
    You could say, it's his
    determination itself.
[17:14] Kudo (Second)
    His mind, hardened together by hatred.
[17:17] Kudo (Second)
    But Yagi found an opening.
[17:21] Kudo (Second)
    It's probably a wound left behind from
    his battle with Star and Stripe.
[17:26] Kudo (Second)
    Even his regeneration Quirk
    can't fully heal it.
[17:29] Kudo (Second)
    A wound to his mind, not his body.
[17:33] Izuku
    What does that have to do with One For All?
[17:38] Kudo (Second)
    Shigaraki became too strong
    when he engulfed All For One.
[17:42] Kudo (Second)
    If this contest of strength continues,
    there's no way we'll win.
[17:45] Kudo (Second)
    That's why we'll attack from within.
[17:49] Kudo (Second)
    Crash One For All into the wound
    by transferring it to him.
[17:53] Kudo (Second)
    Pry open the wound, and
    strike his mind directly.
[17:57] Izuku
    "Transfer"? "Crash"?
[18:00] En (Sixth)
    Wait! I'm not sure what you're saying!
[18:03] En (Sixth)
    If it's handed to him,
    he'll just be able to use it!
[18:06] En (Sixth)
    We'll just be at his disposal, like Shinomori!
[18:09] Kudo (Second)
    Broaden your take on the word "transfer."
[18:11] Kudo (Second)
    Don't you get it?
[18:14] Kudo (Second)
    Let a visual do the talking?
[18:16] Kudo (Second)
    Okay, then, here's something
    easy to understand.
[18:21] Kudo (Second)
    How does that childhood friend
    of yours pass things to you?
[18:27] Katsuki
    Take this and die!
SIGN    Unbelievable.
[18:31] Kudo (Second)
    Depending on how one does
    it, someone might get hurt,
[18:33] Kudo (Second)
    or the object itself might break.
[18:36] Kudo (Second)
    That's what we'll do with One For All.
[18:38] Kudo (Second)
    But, there's no guarantee.
[18:41] Kudo (Second)
    So we'll test it with me first.
[18:43] En (Sixth)
    Huh?
[18:44] Kudo (Second)
    Earlier, Shinomori was the only one taken.
[18:47] Kudo (Second)
    So, there must be some system
    for just a partial transfer.
[18:52] Kudo (Second)
    We're Quirk factors that were
    taken into One For All.
[18:56] Kudo (Second)
    We're each part of One For All.
[18:58] Kudo (Second)
    And, we're special factors that were
    strengthened each time we were linked together.
[19:04] Kudo (Second)
    If you hand me over with crushing force,
[19:07] Kudo (Second)
    I'll be able to attack without
    giving him my power.
[19:11] En (Sixth)
    You want to test it?
[19:12] En (Sixth)
    Then use Smokescreen!
[19:14] En (Sixth)
    I'm the least useful right now!
[19:18] Kudo (Second)
    No, I'll go first.
[19:21] En (Sixth)
    But Gearshift is pivotal to this fight!
[19:24] En (Sixth)
    If this fails, Shigaraki will...
[19:26] Kudo (Second)
    If Ninth can't move now, he's dead.
[19:29] Kudo (Second)
    If he parts with me, he can
    also part with the recoil.
[19:32] Kudo (Second)
    And on the off chance Shigaraki does use me,
[19:35] Kudo (Second)
    it will put him straight into
    this same recoil state.
[19:40] Bruce (Third)
    Leader, I've always followed your orders.
[19:44] Bruce (Third)
    But this time the risk is too great.
[19:47] Kudo (Second)
    That's why it's a gamble.
[19:50] Kudo (Second)
    We lived through some harsh times.
[19:53] Kudo (Second)
    We made a lot of coldhearted decisions
    because we had to.
[19:58] Kudo (Second)
    Nothing could be harsher than
    this current situation.
[20:02] Kudo (Second)
    Even then, this boy's
    spirit refuses to break.
[20:05] Kudo (Second)
    I want to believe he's in the right.
[20:09] Izuku
    You did all this for me, All Might...
[20:13] Izuku
    I'm too blessed...
[20:21] Nana (Seventh)
    Even at this point, he's not covetous of
    his power, and he doesn't fear death.
[20:26] Nana (Seventh)
    No matter how overwhelming
    a task he faces...
[20:30] Nana (Seventh)
    Toshinori, even after all this time,
[20:34] Nana (Seventh)
    to him, One For All is...
[20:37] All Might
    Take this to heart.
[20:40] All Might
    This is power that you earned
    because of your own effort.
[20:45] Nana (Seventh)
    ...a treasure given to him
    by the hero he admires most.
[20:51] Shigaraki
    What's all the babbling about?
[20:53] Kudo (Second)
    Banjo, stick as close to the kid as you can.
[20:57] Kudo (Second)
    He can't afford to lose Blackwhip.
[21:00] Kudo (Second)
    Take it from here.
[21:02] Yoichi (First)
    Sure, my hero.
[21:05] Kudo (Second)
    That just leaves you.
    What'll it be, Izuku Midoriya?
[21:16] Izuku
    I'll do it.
[21:24] Shigaraki
    I will crush you all!
[21:30] Shigaraki
    Whoa, whoa.
[21:41] Shigaraki
    You don't...
[21:44] Shigaraki
    look very heroic now.
SIGN    Preview
[23:20] Izuku
    Here's the preview.
