[00:02] Endeavor
    If Deku returned here, then what
    about the safety of all the evacuees?
[00:05] Principal Nezu
    I'll figure out a way to make them understand.
[00:08] Principal Nezu
    To prepare for the school festival,
[00:12] Principal Nezu
    we reinforced the U.A. Barrier for extra
    security but didn't end up using it,
[00:16] Principal Nezu
    so now's our chance to see its true worth.
[00:19] Principal Nezu
    It's fine.
[00:20] Principal Nezu
    All Might grew up in this school, too.
[00:24] Principal Nezu
    Bring him back... with your own hands!
[00:43] Song
    In a world where there's no black or white
     * *
[00:46] Song
    I cried in the depths of hatred
     * *
[00:49] Song
    Not even allowed to stop,
    we just have to move
     * *
[00:52] Song
    Forward beyond that
     * *
[00:54] Song
    I impatiently acted rashly on my own
     * *
[00:56] Song
    The fate that I'd carried until now
     * *
[00:57] Song
    You have a hard time even walking
     * *
[01:00] Song
    Is there still a way to save you?
     * *
[01:03] Song
    When you feel like you're about to give up
     * *
[01:08] Song
    I'll rush to wherever you are
     * *
[01:12] Song
    We won't let go of any of
    our feelings either, any of them
     * *
[01:17] Song
    Even if you say it's none of my business,
    I still want to be by your side
     * *
[01:21] Song
    That's what it means to be a hero
     * *
[01:23] Song
    I won't lose any of the voices
    that came together either, any of them
     * *
[01:28] Song
    I'll get up again as
    many times as it takes
     * *
[01:32] Song
    Let's go and put our lives on the line
     * *
[01:34] Song
    My soul cries out in
    response to your feelings
     * *
[01:38] Song
    I won't hesitate anymore, so let's go
     * *
[01:42] Song
    To the ends of true worth
     * *
[02:01] Tenya
    Principal Nezu, earlier, you mentioned
    the U.A. Barrier's true worth.
SIGN    "Tenya Iida - Quirk: Engine"
[02:07] Tenya
    We're here because we
    understand Midoriya's feelings.
[02:10] Tenya
    In order to bring him back here,
    we would need adequate evidence
[02:14] Tenya
    regarding the safety and peace of mind
    of those taking shelter here.
[02:18] Tenya
    That's why we were planning on going with him--
[02:22] Principal Nezu
    Of course, this isn't just based on emotion.
SIGN    "Pro Hero - Nezu - Quirk: High Specs"
[02:25] Principal Nezu
    Midoriya is even now a valuable
    contributor to the heroes' side.
[02:30] Principal Nezu
    It's risky to protect him in anything less
    than a state-of-the-art facility.
[02:35] Principal Nezu
    U.A. has been able to buy the country's
    latest defense technologies at wholesale.
[02:39] Principal Nezu
    It boasts defenses at
    the same level as Tartarus's.
[02:44] Yaoyorozu
    But Shigaraki easily broke into Tartarus.
SIGN    "Momo Yaoyorozu - Quirk: Creation"
[02:49] Principal Nezu
    Last year, U.A. was also broken into.
[02:52] Principal Nezu
    I also kept my eye on the threat of Shigaraki.
[02:57] Principal Nezu
    So when we reinforced the U.A. Barrier,
[02:59] Principal Nezu
    I also added my own personal improvements.
[03:03] Tenya
    Is that even possible?
[03:05] Principal Nezu
    There was a huge fight about it.
[03:07] Principal Nezu
    Basically, if villains were trying
    to invade U.A. at this very minute,
[03:12] Principal Nezu
    no harm would come to
    the evacuees or the students,
[03:16] Principal Nezu
    and they would not even be able to get in.
[03:19] Principal Nezu
    Right now, the U.A. Barrier
    is not just a defensive wall.
[03:23] Principal Nezu
    U.A. can move!
[03:27] Principal Nezu
    The grounds have been divided into a grid,
[03:29] Principal Nezu
    and each part has its own driving mechanism.
[03:32] Principal Nezu
    In the event of an emergency, each section
    can go underground and become a shelter,
[03:36] Principal Nezu
    and the shelters can be
    moved on a linear maglev network
[03:40] Principal Nezu
    moving as required along various routes.
[03:43] Kaminari
    It's like a robot anime!
[03:45] Principal Nezu
    But if that system breaks down,
    it's all for nothing,
[03:50] Principal Nezu
    so underground near the system,
    there are 3,000-layer reinforced plates.
[03:54] Principal Nezu
    If those detect anything abnormal,
    the interception system activates.
[03:58] Principal Nezu
    The supports unlock,
[04:00] Principal Nezu
    and the defensive walls
    can also move independently
[04:02] Principal Nezu
    and can delay any kind of attack.
[04:06] Principal Nezu
    In the meantime, the shelters follow safe routes
[04:09] Principal Nezu
    to places that have
    security systems on par with U.A.'s,
[04:12] Principal Nezu
    like Shiketsu Academy, which increased
    its defenses after the imposter incident,
[04:17] Principal Nezu
    and other high schools with hero courses.
SIGN    "Shiketsu"
[04:21] Sero
    Shiketsu?!
[04:22] Sero
    That's so far!
[04:24] Katuski
    U.A. in the east, Shiketsu in the west...
[04:27] Katsuki/Todoroki
    Oh yeah, there was something like that...
[04:30] Tokoyami
    That looks like a countermeasure
SIGN    "Fumikage Tokoyami - Quirk: Dark Shadow"
[04:32] Tokoyami
    against Shigaraki's Decay
    transmitting through objects,
[04:35] Tokoyami
    but at the time of the school festival,
[04:37] Tokoyami
    we didn't know about that ability yet, did we?
[04:40] Principal Nezu
    There wasn't any evidence for it.
    It was just my gut feeling.
[04:44] Principal Nezu
    That's why I paid for it myself!
[04:47] Kaminari
    That must've been more than
    a few hundred million!
SIGN    "Denki Kaminari - Quirk: Electrification"
[04:49] Endeavor
    The principal has contributed much
    to Quirk morality education,
SIGN    "Pro Hero - Endeavor - Quirk: Hellflame"
[04:53] Endeavor
    and he is revered around the world.
[04:56] Endeavor
    His efforts continue even now.
[05:00] Principal Nezu
    Lack of understanding... Intolerance...
[05:03] Principal Nezu
    They both occur when people who can't
    take that extra step to get closer to others
[05:07] Principal Nezu
    act or move and crowd together.
[05:10] Principal Nezu
    Taking that extra step is a hard path.
[05:14] Principal Nezu
    Anyway, it is reasonable
    and logical for him to be here.
[05:18] Principal Nezu
    You kids should just go give it your all.
[05:27] Evacuee A
    Don't let that boy in here!
[05:29] Evacuee E
    Shigaraki will come!
[05:31] Evacuee C
    Wasn't U.A. supposed to guarantee
    our safety and peace of mind?!
[05:34] Evacuee G1
    Don't let him in!
[05:35] Evacuee B
    Please leave!
[05:36] Evacuee A
    Doesn't having One For All make him a Nomu?!
SIGN    "Izuku Midoriya - Quirk: One For All"
[05:41] Izuku's Mom
    Izuku!
SIGN    "Inko Midoriya"
[05:42] Katsuki's Mom
    That's dangerous!
[05:43] Evacuee F
    Hey, it's scary!
[05:45] Evacuee D
    If you're gonna fight, do it somewhere else!
[05:48] Evacuee B
    Are you trying to cover it up
    again like you did before?!
[05:50] Evacuee E
    Yeah, are you?
[05:51] Evacuee G2
    We won't be tricked again!
SIGN    "Hanta Sero - Quirk: Tape"
[05:53] Sero
    He couldn't convince them?
[05:55] Thirteen
    There were those who showed
    that they understood our thinking.
SIGN    "Pro Hero - Thirteen - Quirk: Black Hole"
SIGN    "Shigaraki's after a U.A. student?!"
[05:59] Thirteen
    But speculation leads to unease,
[06:02] Thirteen
    and we couldn't erase it all.
SIGN    "Pro Hero - Present Mic - Quirk: Voice"
[06:04] Present Mic
    Everyone, calm down!
[06:08] Best Jeanist
    It must be hard for people to listen,
    especially when it comes from teachers.
SIGN    "Pro Hero - Best Jeanist - Quirk: Fiber Master"
[06:12] Best Jeanist
    I'm the one who suggested it.
[06:14] Present Mic
    Jeany?
[06:15] Evacuee H
    Jeanist!
[06:16] Evacuee H
    We came here because we believed what you said!
[06:19] Best Jeanist
    Yes. As the principal explained,
[06:23] Best Jeanist
    this is the safest place right now,
[06:26] Best Jeanist
    and we are thinking of your lives first.
[06:29] Best Jeanist
    In order to make the first move,
[06:31] Best Jeanist
    our plan was to use Izuku Midoriya
    as bait to find the villains.
[06:36] Best Jeanist
    However, we were unable
    to cast a wide enough net to search,
[06:38] Best Jeanist
    and we had very little to show for it.
[06:41] Best Jeanist
    While Izuku Midoriya
    is a target of the villains,
[06:45] Best Jeanist
    he is also one of our most valuable assets.
[06:47] Best Jeanist
    To wear him down more than this could be fatal!
[06:51] Best Jeanist
    It's true that this isn't the best solution.
[06:53] Best Jeanist
    It's just the next best thing we can do.
[06:55] Best Jeanist
    We understand that there are those
    who feel uneasy about this,
[06:59] Best Jeanist
    but we wish you to let him
    rest in this safest of places.
[07:03] Best Jeanist
    In order for him to be
    ready to fight at any time,
[07:05] Best Jeanist
    we need to him stay as healthy
    and strong as possible.
[07:14] Evacuee I
    Wh-What are you saying?
[07:18] Evacuee I
    Just because you guys messed up...
[07:20] Evacuee I
    In the first place, right now,
    Japan's become a lawless country.
[07:26] Evacuee I
    And now you've messed up again,
[07:28] Evacuee I
    so you're trying to shift the burden onto us.
[07:31] Evacuee I
    That's what you're saying?!
[07:33] Evacuee I
    What the hell?!
[07:36] Evacuee
    Yeah, what the hell?!
[07:37] Evacuees
    Yeah, yeah!
[07:41] Evacuee
    And you call yourselves heroes?!
[07:43] Evacuees
    And you call yourselves heroes?!
[07:50] Izuku's Mom
    Izuku...
[07:51] Evacuee
    Give us a break!
[07:53] Evacuee
    We just want to be able
    to sleep peacefully at night!
[07:55] Present Mic
    It's no good...
[08:02] Ochaco
    The unease is spreading.
[08:05] Ochaco
    It'll explode.
[08:19] Ochaco's Dad
    O...
[08:20] Ochaco's Mom
    Ochaco?!
[08:27] Ochaco
    D--Izuku Midoriya has a special power.
[08:32] Evacuee J
    And we're saying that a guy
    like that shouldn't come here
[08:35] Evacuee J
    just because he wants to rest!
[08:37] Ochaco
    No! He left this place because
    he didn't want to cause anyone trouble!
[08:41] Ochaco
    We're the ones who brought him back!
[08:45] Izuku
    Uraraka...
[08:47] Ochaco
    His power is--um, special!
[08:51] Ochaco
    It's a power meant to defeat All For One!
[08:54] Ochaco
    That's why they're after him!
[08:56] Ochaco
    That's why he has to go!
[08:58] Ochaco
    He left, but do you know what he looks like now?
[09:05] Ochaco
    He's the one who most wants
    to do something about this situation,
[09:08] Ochaco
    and is walking down a path
    where he could be attacked at any time.
[09:12] Ochaco
    Will you please look at him?!
[09:18] Ochaco
    Even if someone has a special power,
[09:20] Ochaco
    that doesn't mean they're a special person!
[09:31] Izuku
    Please leave her to me.
[09:36] Beast Girl
    It's the boy who saved me...
[09:41] Katsuki
    There's a system in place to protect these guys,
SIGN    "Katsuki Bakugo - Quirk: Explosion"
[09:44] Katsuki
    but they're still uneasy.
[09:48] Katsuki
    We'll clean up the messes you can't.
[09:54] Principal Nezu
    Taking that extra step is a hard path.
[09:58] Principal Nezu
    I think that once someone
    is able to take that extra step,
[10:04] Principal Nezu
    it will bring forth the one who will become
    the greatest hero and even surpass All Might.
SIGN    "A Young Woman's Declaration"
[10:18] Ochaco
    I liked seeing people's happy faces.
[10:22] Ochaco
    My parents always looked like
    they were tired, and that pained me.
[10:28] Ochaco
    The first time I saw someone doing hero work,
[10:31] Ochaco
    my eyes went to the faces of those around me.
[10:35] Ochaco
    I liked seeing everyone's happy faces.
[10:42] Evacuees
    --He's a mess...
    --He looks weak...
[10:46] Beast Girl
    So he was fighting...
[10:49] Beast Girl
    Even after he saved me, he kept fighting...
[10:54] Evacuee J
    We looked at him. So what?
[10:57] Evacuee J
    Don't tell me you want us
    to get all beat up like that, too?
[11:01] Evacuee J
    You want us to be covered in mud, too?!
[11:04] Ochaco
    Only the heroes will be covered in mud!
[11:07] Ochaco
    Just give us some time
    to wash off that mud and dirt!
SIGN    "Tsuyu Asui - Quirk: Frog"
[11:12] Asui
    Ochaco...!
[11:17] Tenya
    Midoriya, right now, Uraraka is fighting.
[11:22] Tenya
    For the sake of everyone's smiles,
    including yours.
[11:34] Izuku
    Uraraka...
[11:37] Ochaco
    Can I reassure you all right now?
[11:40] Ochaco
    Sorry, I can't.
[11:43] Ochaco
    Because we're also uneasy.
[11:46] Ochaco
    Because we're neighbors, just like you all.
[11:51] Ochaco
    Watching him desperately try to save
    people this whole time made me think...
[11:57] Ochaco
    When a hero is suffering...
[12:00] Ochaco
    When heroes are suffering...
[12:03] Ochaco
    The ones who will protect them are surely...
[12:07] Ochaco's Dad
    Ochaco, where are you looking?
[12:09] Ochaco's Dad
    The hero's over there!
[12:14] Citizen A
    Hey, Eel-Boy!
[12:18] Citizen A
    Thanks!
[12:20] Citizens
    --Thanks!
    --Eel-Boy! Eel-Boy! Eel-Boy! Eel-Boy!
[12:27] Ochaco
    The ones who will protect them...
[12:31] Ochaco
    ...are surely...
[12:34] Ochaco
    So please lend him your strength!
[12:37] Ochaco
    So that we can smile together in the future!
[12:43] Ochaco
    With all of your power--
[12:44] Ochaco
    Please, will you let him rest beside you?
[12:47] Ochaco
    Will you let him prepare?
[12:52] Ochaco
    Izuku Midoriya is trying to
    take on the burden of his power,
[12:57] Ochaco
    but he still has a lot to learn.
[13:00] Ochaco
    He's just a normal high schooler!
[13:04] Evacuee J
    But--
[13:06] Ochaco
    Please...
[13:10] Ochaco
    ...let this place...
[13:17] Ochaco
    ...continue to be his hero academia!
[13:36] Principal Nezu
    Just one more step...
[13:38] Principal Nezu
    For those who can't take that
    extra step to get closer to others...
[13:42] Ragdoll
    Wait--
[13:45] Mandalay
    Hey, which shoes do you want?
[13:47] Kota
    Those! Definitely those!
[13:51] Kota
    I want red shoes!
[13:57] Izuku
    This is the story of how
    I became the greatest hero.
[14:04] Izuku
    And...
[14:06] Izuku
    ...the story of how everyone
    became the greatest heroes.

    Mr. Deku!
[14:40] Kota
    Sorry!

[14:42] Kota
    I... was too scared to move...!
[14:45] Kota
    Sorry! Sorry!
[14:49] Kota
    But--
[14:50] Kota
    That girl was trying so hard to talk,
[14:52] Kota
    and I thought I had to go!
[14:55] Kota
    I thought I had to be like you!
[14:58] Kota
    That's why I...
[15:00] Kota
    I came!
[15:02] Kota
    So you don't have to cry anymore! It's okay!
[15:08] Izuku
    Ko... ta...
[15:13] Beast Girl
    You were a student at U.A.?
[15:15] Izuku
    Miss...
[15:17] Beast Girl
    A number of shelters turned me away,
    saying they couldn't let heteromorphs in.
[15:22] Beast Girl
    In the end, U.A. said it was okay.
[15:26] Beast Girl
    But I'm lucky because
    that meant I could see you again.
[15:31] Beast Girl
    Thanks for what you did back then, crybaby hero.
[15:46] Old Man
    Before blaming him hysterically,
[15:49] Old Man
    can't we listen to what he has to say?
[15:52] Old Man
    It's not like that kid's planning
    to stay here permanently.
[15:57] Old Man
    Right now, we're short on
    resources and personnel.
[15:59] Old Man
    So this is the only place he can rest up
    without worrying too much, right?
[16:04] Old Man
    That's what you heroes
    were trying to explain, right?
[16:08] Principal Nezu
    Yes.
[16:09] Evacuee K
    He can't go to Shiketsu?
[16:11] Evacuee K
    The facilities are the same level, right?
[16:13] Evacuee L
    But then, the same thing
    would happen at Shiketsu...
[16:19] Old Man
    You know, I didn't realize
    until things ended up like this.
[16:23] Old Man
    I felt like I was in the audience,
    and the heroes were the performers on stage.
[16:29] Old Man
    One day, an extraordinary hero named
    All Might showed us what heroes were like.
[16:34] Old Man
    Everyone wanted to be like him!
    Everyone applauded him!
[16:38] Old Man
    And then before we knew it, we had
    forgotten the soul behind the man.
[16:45] Old Man
    But the stage has been taken away.
[16:48] Old Man
    With failure upon failure, there's
    no hope for money or fame anymore.
[16:52] Old Man
    Many of those who were
    called heroes have resigned.
[16:55] Old Man
    In the midst of that,
    what are those who are left fighting for?
[17:01] Old Man
    If we reject even those who are fighting now,
[17:04] Old Man
    then what'll be left for us?
[17:06] Old Man
    How will we be able to live as we did before?
[17:09] Old Man
    I know it's tough.
[17:10] Old Man
    But think about this calmly!
[17:12] Old Man
    How long are we going to stay audience members?
[17:22] Evacuee J
    Th-There were rumors about a young man
    in rags with multiple Quirks...
[17:29] Evacuee J
    Some said he was stirring up the villains,
    and some said he was a true hero.
[17:35] Evacuee J
    Answer this--
[17:38] Evacuee J
    If you rest here,
[17:40] Evacuee J
    will things go back to the way they were before?
[17:46] Izuku
    I'll get it back.
[17:50] Izuku
    Because everyone's here with me...
[17:56] Izuku
    We'll get it all back.

    You should try going in.
[18:22] Ectoplasm
    It's fine. For now, at least.
[18:36] Ectoplasm
    In the end, we just made Deku suffer.
[18:41] Ectoplasm
    With no progress, we just
    made him take the roundabout way...

    There is progress. Right here!

    If they're all able to think about
    "everyone" just a little more,
[19:21] Hawks
    then that will bring about a bright future
    where everyone can't help but smile
[19:26] Hawks
    and heroes have too much time on their hands.
[19:34] Todoroki
    Dad...
[19:37] Todoroki
    We're in this together.
[19:41] Endeavor
    Yeah.
[19:44] Principal Nezu
    I couldn't do it.
[19:47] Principal Nezu
    But your class did it for me,
[19:50] Principal Nezu
    Aizawa.
[19:52] Aizawa
    Please tell the class rep
    that he did a good job.
SIGN    "Pro Hero - Shota Aizawa - Quirk: Erasure"
[19:56] Principal Nezu
    How's your leg?
[19:58] Aizawa
    I won't be able to jump like Mirko.
[20:02] Principal Nezu
    What about Kurogiri?
[20:04] Aizawa
    I'm trying to talk to him every day,
[20:06] Aizawa
    but unfortunately, there's been no progress.
[20:09] Principal Nezu
    After he responded to
    you and Mic calling out to him,
[20:13] Principal Nezu
    he was secretly transported to
    Central Hospital for restoration research.
[20:17] Principal Nezu
    The Nomu, Kurogiri.
[20:20] Principal Nezu
    Mirko crushed the copy of his Quirk.
[20:23] Principal Nezu
    If we hadn't been able to get
    Shirakumo's mind back at that time,
[20:27] Principal Nezu
    we wouldn't have strongholds anywhere.
[20:31] Principal Nezu
    It was fragile and faint,
[20:33] Principal Nezu
    but we were able to spin a thread
    that allowed us to turn the tables.
[20:38] Aizawa
    We're continuing with the
    countermeasures for Toga?
[20:40] Principal Nezu
    Yes.
[20:42] Principal Nezu
    We've deduced the amount of blood she needs
    to ingest and her transformation time limit.
[20:47] Principal Nezu
    Evacuees enter U.A. after being
    isolated for a certain period of time.
[20:53] Aizawa
    U.A. is a stronghold.
[20:56] Aizawa
    Now, it's time to try again.
[20:58] Principal Nezu
    Yes, of course.
[21:03] Ectoplasm
    Where are you going?
[21:05] All Might
    I'm going to check on those hero-hating
    groups that still refuse to evacuate.
SIGN    "Pro Hero - All Might - Quirk: One For All"
[21:18] All Might
    Even if I try to stop you,
    you're going to go, right?
[21:23] All Might
    Then, even if you don't want me to, I will, too!
[21:29] Izuku
    That's why...
[21:30] Izuku
    You don't have to worry.
[21:33] All Might
    Wait a minute!
SIGN    "Preview"
[23:20] Izuku
    Here's the preview!
[23:23] Izuku
    After returning to U.A.,
[23:25] Izuku
    I made a new vow with my friends from Class A.
[23:29] Izuku
    We swore to take back what we had lost.
[23:32] Izuku
    That's right. We would all move together,
[23:35] Izuku
    and get those smiles back.
[23:38] Izuku
    Next time, "No Man Is an Island."
[23:42] Izuku
    The heroes connect and spread out.
[23:45] Izuku
    Go beyond!
SIGN    "Next time: No Man Is an Island"
[23:47] Izuku
    Plus Ultra!
