**[00:01] ---**
As November neared its end...
**[00:06] ---**
We're going to take care of her here at U.A.
**[00:08] ---**
I didn't think I'd be able to see
her again so soon for so long!
**[00:11] ---**
Hey.
**[00:12] ---**
Oh, yay, it's Eri!
**[00:14] ---**
You remind me of my little sister.
**[00:17] ---**
Welcome.
**[00:18] ---**
Thank you.
**[00:20] ---**
How did this come about...?
**[00:22] ---**
She couldn't stay at the hospital forever.
**[00:28] ---**
It looks like Eri was abandoned by her parents.
**[00:31] ---**
And the head of the Shie Hassaikai,
who's related to her by blood,
**[00:34] ---**
has been in a coma for a long time,
**[00:37] ---**
so she currently has nowhere to go.
**[00:39] ---**
And, you might've already heard from Mr. Aizawa,
**[00:42] ---**
but the horn that
Eri's Quirk is released from...
**[00:45] ---**
Yes, I heard that it'd gotten
smaller and was fine now...
**[00:49] ---**
It's starting to get bigger again slowly.
**[00:54] ---**
Then, in order to keep
that from happening again...?
**[00:57] ---**
That's how it is.
**[00:58] ---**
So, that's why we're taking care of
her instead of sending her to an orphanage.
**[01:03] ---**
We'll watch her in the teachers' dorm.
**[01:06] ---**
We'll see how she is and help her find
a way to live with that great power.
**[01:12] ---**
There are things we need to check, too...
**[01:15] ---**
Anyway, we'll take things step by step.
**[01:17] ---**
That sounds like a lot
of work for you, Mr. Aizawa.
**[01:19] ---**
That's where I come in!
**[01:21] ---**
I'm on a temporary absence from school,
and I'm friends with Eri!
**[01:25] ---**
I'm sure you're all busy,
but stop by and visit sometime.
**[01:29] ---**
Of course!
**[01:32] ---**
If Eri's body and soul become stable,
**[01:36] ---**
then the resurrection of the
invincible man will not be far off.
**[01:39] ---**
I hope that's what happens, right?
**[01:42] ---**
Sorry to be asking this
of you already, third year,
**[01:44] ---**
but can you take care of her for a while?
**[01:46] ---**
Roger! Let's play Othello!
**[01:48] ---**
Can we join you?
**[01:49] ---**
Class A, go back to the dorm.
**[01:52] ---**
You have guests arriving soon.
**[03:27] ---**
Sick? Are you okay?
**[03:29] ---**
No, I'm in good health.
**[03:31] ---**
My mucus membrane was just doing its job.
**[03:33] ---**
What're you talking about?
**[03:34] ---**
Maybe someone's talking about you!
**[03:35] ---**
Maybe you've got some fans!
**[03:36] ---**
Like Yaoyorozu at the school festival!
**[03:39] ---**
Will you please not poke fun of it?
I'm very grateful.
**[03:42] ---**
"Ochaco Uraraka - Quirk: Zero Gravity"
**[03:43] ---**
Tokoyami's probably
had fans for a while already.
**[03:45] ---**
I mean, you did your work study with Hawks.
**[03:48] ---**
"Fumikage Tokoyami - Quirk: Dark Shadow"
**[03:49] ---**
No, I don't think so.
**[03:51] ---**
Everything was too fast there.
**[03:54] ---**
"Tenya Iida - Quirk: Engine"
**[03:56] ---**
They're here everyone! Greet them!
**[03:58] ---**
"Pro Hero - Mandalay - Quirk: Telepath"
**[03:59] ---**
Lock on with these sparkling gazes!
**[04:00] ---**
"Pro Hero - Ragdoll - Quirk: Search"
**[04:01] ---**
We've come to lend a paw and help!!
**[04:03] ---**
"Pro Hero - Tiger - Quirk: Pliabody"
**[04:03] ---**
Coming out of nowhere...
**[04:05] ---**
"Pro Hero - Pixie-Bob - Quirk: Earthflow"
**[04:05] ---**
Stingingly cute and catlike!
**[04:08] ---**
Wild, Wild...
**[04:10] ---**
...Pussycats!
**[04:12] ---**
Pussycats!
**[04:13] ---**
Long time no see!
**[04:15] ---**
You kitties look like you've been doing well!
**[04:17] ---**
"Katsuki Bakugo - Quirk: Explosion"
**[04:18] ---**
Sorry I couldn't protect you
to the end back then.
**[04:21] ---**
Don't keep digging up the past.
**[04:23] ---**
"Kyoka Jiro - Quirk: Earphone Jack"
**[04:23] ---**
We're fine. Right?
**[04:26] ---**
Paw pad buns! Paw pad buns!
**[04:27] ---**
"Toru Hagakure - Quirk: Invisibility"
**[04:29] ---**
"Mezo Shoji - Quirk: Dupli-Arms"
**[04:29] ---**
Please, come inside.
**[04:30] ---**
Oh, don't worry about us.
**[04:33] ---**
We need to go visit Class B, too.
**[04:37] ---**
Kota! Long time no see!
**[04:37] ---**
"Kota Izumi - Quirk: Water Gun"
"Izuku Midoriya - Quirk: One For All"
**[04:39] ---**
Thanks for your letter!
I'll treasure it forever!
**[04:42] ---**
Whatever.
**[04:45] ---**
Midoriya, look.
**[04:47] ---**
He chose them himself.
**[04:49] ---**
He said he definitely wanted red.
**[04:52] ---**
N-No...!
**[04:53] ---**
We match!
**[04:57] ---**
But why are you back at U.A.?
**[04:57] ---**
"Rikido Sato - Quirk: Sugar Rush"
**[04:59] ---**
We came to let you know we're in business again.
**[05:01] ---**
"Momo Yaoyorozu - Quirk: Creation"
**[05:01] ---**
You are?
**[05:02] ---**
Congratulations!
**[05:05] ---**
Ragdoll, you're working again?
**[05:07] ---**
I thought your Quirk was stolen,
so you were suspending activities--
**[05:10] ---**
It's not back!
**[05:12] ---**
I'll be doing office work
to support the other three.
**[05:16] ---**
Office Lady Cat!
**[05:17] ---**
We received a report from Tartarus, though.
**[05:21] ---**
I do feel bad about it, truly.
**[05:25] ---**
When I see a good Quirk,
I can't help but want it.
**[05:29] ---**
It's a bad habit of mine.
**[05:31] ---**
I'd love to return it,
but I'd have to use my Quirk.
**[05:36] ---**
"Villain - All For One - Quirk: All For One"
**[05:37] ---**
If that's all right with you,
then I can return it right away...
**[05:41] ---**
They're still trying to pin down
**[05:45] ---**
just how many and
what kinds of Quirks he's hiding...
**[05:48] ---**
Currently, not letting him do anything
is the only way we can contain him.
**[05:54] ---**
Then why are you starting up again at this time?
**[05:57] ---**
This will be announced later,
but for the Japanese Hero Billboard Chart,
**[06:02] ---**
we were ranked 411
for the second half of the year.
**[06:06] ---**
The Japanese Hero Billboard Chart!
**[06:08] ---**
Based on the total from
the number of incidents resolved,
**[06:11] ---**
contribution to society,
and citizen approval rating,
**[06:15] ---**
the chart ranks active heroes twice a year!
**[06:17] ---**
In other words, the higher the rank,
the more that hero has brought smiles and peace.
**[06:24] ---**
Last time, you guys were ranked 32.
**[06:26] ---**
"Eijiro Kirishima - Quirk: Hardening"
**[06:27] ---**
I see! It's because you dropped in the rankings!
**[06:29] ---**
Do your best!
**[06:30] ---**
No, meow!
**[06:30] ---**
How are we still in the three digits
even though we haven't done any hero work?
**[06:36] ---**
The approval rating component gave us a boost.
**[06:40] ---**
There are people waiting for us.
**[06:43] ---**
We can't just stand still!
**[06:45] ---**
Is that how it is?
**[06:47] ---**
You're so manly, Wild Wild Pussycats!
**[06:52] ---**
You're being too loud.
**[06:53] ---**
"Mina Ashido - Quirk: Acid"
"Mashirao Ojiro - Quirk: Tail"
**[06:53] ---**
Speaking of which,
**[06:54] ---**
they haven't announced results
for the second half of the year yet, huh?
**[06:57] ---**
A lot has happened.
**[06:59] ---**
A billboard chart without All Might, huh?
**[07:01] ---**
I can't wait to see how the rankings ended up.
**[07:02] ---**
"Shoto Todoroki - Quirk: Half-Cold, Half-Hot"
**[07:03] ---**
**[07:05] ---**
"Japanese Hero Billboard Chart"
**[07:11] ---**
This is the first billboard chart
since the Kamino incident,
**[07:15] ---**
where the Symbol of Peace, All Might,
was driven to an early retirement.
**[07:19] ---**
Everyone understands how important this is!
**[07:23] ---**
Until today, heroes did not appear
on stage for the announcement,
**[07:27] ---**
but this time is different!
**[07:30] ---**
Take a look!
**[07:31] ---**
Number ten! Dropping down one
rank from number nine last time,
**[07:34] ---**
Dragoon Hero: Ryukyu!
**[07:37] ---**
Honestly, I don't think I deserve it this time.
**[07:40] ---**
Number nine! He went down, too!
**[07:42] ---**
But he won't be defeated!
**[07:44] ---**
Equipped Hero: Yoroi Musha!
**[07:48] ---**
Outside of the top three, a ranking like this
**[07:51] ---**
is all erroneous based on the tide of the times.
**[07:54] ---**
Number eight! From the "Clean and Shiny"
commercial, Laundry Hero: Wash!
**[07:59] ---**
Wash! Wash-ash-ash!
**[08:02] ---**
Number seven! A huge leap!
**[08:04] ---**
A promising hero whose growth won't stop!
**[08:06] ---**
Kamui Woods!
**[08:08] ---**
I'm honored.
**[08:09] ---**
"Pro Hero - Mt. Lady - Quirk: Gigantification"
**[08:09] ---**
Kamui Woods is number seven!
**[08:11] ---**
As one of his teammates, it's very encouraging.
**[08:15] ---**
What about reports that you two are dating?
**[08:17] ---**
No comment.
**[08:20] ---**
Man, I hate this! Why is he the only one there?!
**[08:23] ---**
You ranked pretty high yourself.
**[08:24] ---**
"Mt. Lady - 23rd"
**[08:25] ---**
Number six!
**[08:27] ---**
From the orthodox school of manliness,
he reliably keeps his ranking!
**[08:30] ---**
Shield Hero: Crust!
**[08:32] ---**
I wanted to see you
in action more... All Might...!
**[08:37] ---**
Number five! A bunny with a
determined spirit has risen in the rankings!
**[08:39] ---**
Rabbit Hero: Mirko!
**[08:42] ---**
I heard you formed a team? Weakling.
**[08:45] ---**
Number four!
**[08:46] ---**
This mysterious ninja's had a huge jump
in cases resolved and approval rating!
**[08:50] ---**
Ninja Hero: Edgeshot!
**[08:52] ---**
Be quiet, we're in public.
**[08:55] ---**
This time, those heroes involved
with the Kamino incident
**[08:58] ---**
have all seen their approval ratings go up.
**[09:01] ---**
Which brings us to this man...
**[09:03] ---**
Even though he's currently on hiatus,
he's still number three!
**[09:05] ---**
With the number one
approval rating for this round,
**[09:07] ---**
Fiber Hero: Best Jeanist!
**[09:11] ---**
We're all waiting for him
to return as soon as possible!
**[09:14] ---**
Number two! He does things
his own way, but he's fierce!
**[09:17] ---**
With great momentum,
he's reached the number two spot!
**[09:19] ---**
Wing Hero: Hawks!
**[09:21] ---**
That's an exaggeration.
**[09:23] ---**
And...!
**[09:26] ---**
He's been the temporary number one, but today...
**[09:29] ---**
...he's really, truly in the number one spot.
**[09:33] ---**
He's waited a long time!
**[09:34] ---**
Flame Hero: Endeavor!
**[09:42] ---**
We chose to put on this kind of event this time
**[09:45] ---**
because we saw that
this was a critical juncture.
**[09:48] ---**
It's been about three months
since All Might's retirement.
**[09:51] ---**
There are still rumors that we are lacking an icon,
**[09:55] ---**
but the heroes who will
bear the future are right here.
**[09:58] ---**
--Let us work toward a peaceful society with them.
**[10:00] ---**
--How does it feel to be number one?
--Let us work toward a peaceful society with them.
**[10:04] ---**
And now, let's have a comment from each person!
**[10:07] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[10:09] ---**
But if I could have refused, I would have.
**[10:14] ---**
There were lives that I should have
been able to save but didn't.
**[10:17] ---**
I will strive to become a
hero worthy of the rank I received.
**[10:22] ---**
"Pro Hero - Fat Gum - Quirk: Fat Adsorption"
"Pro Hero - Rock Lock - Quirk: Lockdown"
**[10:22] ---**
Ryukyu...
**[10:24] ---**
I get you, Ryukyu!
**[10:25] ---**
The anguish in your heart!
The remorse! We must stand tall!
**[10:30] ---**
You can do it, Ryukyu! Let's do our best!
**[10:32] ---**
Crust, it's not your turn.
**[10:34] ---**
He's too worked up.
**[10:35] ---**
That's what I like about him!
**[10:36] ---**
What we must do now is no different.
**[10:39] ---**
Wash!
**[10:40] ---**
I would like to work in a way that does not
shame those who have come before me,
**[10:42] ---**
starting with Edgeshot,
who accepted me on his team.
**[10:45] ---**
Oh, why was I not at Kamino on that day?!
**[10:49] ---**
For those of you planning evil deeds right now--
**[10:52] ---**
prepare to be sent flying by me!
**[10:55] ---**
You were third in the approval ratings.
**[10:58] ---**
I am not concerned with numbers.
**[11:00] ---**
I am grateful for all
the support I have received,
**[11:04] ---**
but I am not doing this for the fame.
**[11:07] ---**
I believe my job is to bring about peace.
**[11:10] ---**
Who's gonna be happy listening to that?
**[11:12] ---**
Stain?
**[11:14] ---**
"Silence"
**[11:16] ---**
I like you! You're cheeky!
**[11:18] ---**
As always, you like to rock the boat.
**[11:21] ---**
I'm just bad at controlling myself.
**[11:24] ---**
Let's see...
**[11:26] ---**
If we're just talking approval ratings...
**[11:28] ---**
Best Jeanist is number one with
the boost he got from being on hiatus.
**[11:33] ---**
Second is me, third is Edgeshot,
**[11:36] ---**
and fourth is Endeavor. I'll skip the rest.
**[11:40] ---**
I think approval rating is the most
important number right now, though.
**[11:45] ---**
Is this really the time
to be dragging out the past?
**[11:48] ---**
You don't think we need
to change how we do things?
**[11:51] ---**
The Symbol is gone.
**[11:53] ---**
At this "critical juncture,"
**[11:54] ---**
why are those less accomplished
than me playing it safe?
**[11:59] ---**
Say something that sounds more hero-like.
**[12:04] ---**
I thought I saw him scowling, and now this...
**[12:06] ---**
Seriously, I can't tell what he's thinkin'.
**[12:10] ---**
Hawks, age 22.
**[12:12] ---**
He made it to the top three in the last ranking.
**[12:16] ---**
He started his own agency at 18,
**[12:17] ---**
and by the second half of that year,
he was already in the top ten.
**[12:21] ---**
He was the first in history to
make it to the top ten before age 20!
**[12:24] ---**
The fastest and the youngest!
**[12:26] ---**
People say that he's "too fast."
**[12:29] ---**
I don't know if this is just
doing things his own way, or what...
**[12:32] ---**
It's arrogance.
**[12:33] ---**
That's all from me.
**[12:37] ---**
Now, go ahead, number one hero
with a lower approval rating than me.
**[12:46] ---**
A lot of people can understand
what Hawks just said.
**[12:49] ---**
This'll be hard for Endeavor to follow.
**[12:56] ---**
Former number one hero...
**[12:59] ---**
What is the Symbol of Peace?
**[13:05] ---**
After that young person has fanned the flames,
**[13:08] ---**
I won't say much.
**[13:12] ---**
Just watch me.

"Endeavor"
**[13:32] ---**
Sorry for the trouble I caused.
**[13:34] ---**
What were you thinking, boy?!
**[13:36] ---**
Everyone was just saying normal boring stuff,
**[13:40] ---**
and I thought there needed
to be more of an impact.
**[13:42] ---**
You were testing me, weren't you?
**[13:44] ---**
Of course not!
**[13:45] ---**
In fact, I was helping you!
**[13:46] ---**
It was good, wasn't it?
**[13:48] ---**
I'm not an All Might fan or anything,
**[13:50] ---**
and I've never wanted to become like him.
**[13:53] ---**
Even so, his retirement came as a shock.
**[13:58] ---**
I'm not saying to be as iconic as him.
**[14:01] ---**
But I think we definitely
need a new leader right now.
**[14:08] ---**
I'm relieved. You were cool.
**[14:11] ---**
Is this what he really thinks,
or is he mocking me?
**[14:15] ---**
You never thought to be the new leader yourself?
**[14:19] ---**
Do I look like someone who'd do that?
**[14:21] ---**
I wanna have more
freedom down in the lower ranks.
**[14:23] ---**
Around 20th or 30th place.
**[14:25] ---**
I hate people like you the most.
**[14:28] ---**
This conversation is over.
**[14:30] ---**
Go apologize to the others.
**[14:32] ---**
Oh, actually, I wanted to talk to you.
**[14:34] ---**
I won't hear it! Go away!
**[14:36] ---**
I'd like to team up with you.
**[14:38] ---**
In my hometown, there have been
some troubling eyewitness reports.
**[14:43] ---**
Do you remember the Nomus?
**[14:46] ---**
"Villain - Dabi"
**[14:50] ---**
The ones before didn't really understand...
**[14:53] ---**
...but I've got high hopes for you, High-End.
**[14:59] ---**
"Kyushu District"
**[15:00] ---**
I'll crush it.
**[15:02] ---**
I worked at this company for three years.
I'll crush it right now.
**[15:07] ---**
Ever since I can remember,
**[15:08] ---**
I've always tried to be considerate
of other people's feelings.
**[15:11] ---**
It was suffocating...
**[15:13] ---**
"Unprecedented reprinting!!"
"Destro's Life Story"
**[15:13] ---**
"Metahuman Liberation Warfront"
**[15:14] ---**
But I'll say goodbye to that me today.
**[15:18] ---**
I'd screamed, "Damn company!" so much...
**[15:21] ---**
Liberate me... Liberate me...
**[15:24] ---**
Hooray for metahuman liberation!
**[15:27] ---**
"Teruo Hazukashi - Quirk: Shame"
**[15:27] ---**
Teruo Hazukashi, age 31.
**[15:29] ---**
Quirk: Shame.
**[15:30] ---**
The more embarrassed he is,
the stronger he gets.
**[15:34] ---**
Metahuman... libera--
**[15:36] ---**
Why...?
**[15:38] ---**
--Whoa, what's up with this guy?
He's flashing everyone.
**[15:39] ---**
--Endeavor, what kind of food do you like?
--Whoa, what's up with this guy?
He's flashing everyone.
**[15:40] ---**
--Endeavor, what kind of food do you like?
--I can't believe he
did that in this cold.
**[15:42] ---**
--The hot pot from that place is really good.
--I can't believe he
did that in this cold.
**[15:43] ---**
--The hot pot from that place is really good.
--These feathers are...
**[15:44] ---**
You can really taste the flavor of the chicken.
**[15:47] ---**
Is that heavy? You hungry?
**[15:50] ---**
No, Schwartz!
**[15:54] ---**
--The yakitori's good, too.
--Oh, Schwartz, I'm so glad you're okay!
**[15:56] ---**
Yoritomi's liver skewers are addicting.
**[15:58] ---**
It's Hawks!
**[15:59] ---**
He doesn't usually just walk around like this!
**[16:01] ---**
Hello!
**[16:03] ---**
Whoops.
**[16:04] ---**
Granny, I'll carry it to the top for you.
**[16:07] ---**
Thanks.
**[16:09] ---**
Hawks, congrats on ranking second!
**[16:11] ---**
I saw that yesterday!
**[16:12] ---**
If you don't act more humble,
you'll just get more enemies!
**[16:14] ---**
Enemies, huh?
**[16:15] ---**
Hawks, Hawks!
**[16:17] ---**
Yay.
**[16:19] ---**
Excuse me, my son is a big fan.
Can he have your autograph?
**[16:21] ---**
Oh, what a fancy bag!
**[16:23] ---**
You sure I can write on it?
**[16:24] ---**
Of course!
**[16:25] ---**
What's your name?
**[16:26] ---**
Ryosuke!
**[16:27] ---**
Okay, Ryosuke. Thanks for all your support!
**[16:29] ---**
Thanks, Hawks!
**[16:31] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[16:33] ---**
It's Endeavor...
**[16:34] ---**
His face is so scary...
**[16:36] ---**
His presence... the pressure's so strong.
**[16:39] ---**
Go get his autograph!
**[16:41] ---**
No way.
**[16:42] ---**
Didn't you say you liked him?
**[16:43] ---**
I do, but it's not like that!
**[16:47] ---**
Oh, he's coming! He's coming this way!
**[16:48] ---**
Huh?! What, no way! Oh man, oh man!
His new costume's so cool!
**[16:53] ---**
You don't have to hold back.
**[16:57] ---**
This isn't right.
**[16:58] ---**
Huh? It isn't?
**[16:59] ---**
Endeavor doesn't do fan service.
**[17:01] ---**
Being hard to get is what makes him cool...!
**[17:03] ---**
Oh, you're hardcore, huh?
**[17:05] ---**
Oh, no! You've changed! You've changed!
**[17:09] ---**
It wasn't right?
**[17:11] ---**
I was able to do it naturally
with that kid from Shiketsu, though...
**[17:18] ---**
"Yoritomi Midori"
"Yakitori"
**[17:18] ---**
Of course he'd say that.
**[17:20] ---**
It's not like you.
**[17:22] ---**
Oh, if you aren't gonna
have anymore, can I have it?
**[17:25] ---**
What a glutton. Eat what you want!
**[17:28] ---**
I just have no self-control
when it comes to the things I want.
**[17:32] ---**
After the school festival, too,
I scouted your son.
**[17:36] ---**
I mean, having the son of the
number two hero would look good, right?
**[17:42] ---**
But well, I'm glad I got Tsukuyomi now,
**[17:46] ---**
since Shoto failed the provisional exam
and left a mark on his brand.
**[17:51] ---**
You know a lot for someone who didn't go to U.A.
**[17:54] ---**
I'm well-informed.
**[17:57] ---**
Stop messing around!
**[17:58] ---**
I didn't come all the way
to Kyushu to talk about this!
**[18:02] ---**
Hurry up and get to the point.
**[18:04] ---**
About the rumors?
**[18:07] ---**
Remodeled Nomu...
**[18:09] ---**
"Remodeled Nomu"
**[18:09] ---**
Those grotesque puppets
the League of Villains has...
**[18:14] ---**
A few dozen stored in Kamino
were captured along with All For One,
**[18:19] ---**
and since then, the League has been busy,
but no more Nomu have appeared.
**[18:25] ---**
Either that was all of them,
**[18:27] ---**
or old A.F.O. was the only one
who knew where the rest were.
**[18:33] ---**
Bastard, since you asked me to team up with you,
**[18:36] ---**
that means you have
some definitive proof, right?
**[18:39] ---**
No, I don't.
**[18:40] ---**
They're seriously just rumors.
**[18:43] ---**
Bring the check! I'm going home!
**[18:45] ---**
Come on, wait a minute. Please listen.
**[18:49] ---**
This is not the only place
where Nomus have been sighted.
**[18:52] ---**
You don't know, do you?
**[18:54] ---**
They've been reported across the country.
**[18:57] ---**
Not so much that they've been
gathered into a news article...
**[19:00] ---**
...but among housewives while they gossip,
**[19:02] ---**
or between elementary and middle
school kids as they walk home from school.
**[19:06] ---**
What do you mean?
**[19:08] ---**
I heard about it first on
a business trip from the locals.
**[19:13] ---**
At the time, I worked with
the police and investigated quietly
**[19:17] ---**
to not raise unnecessary panic,
but I got nothing.
**[19:20] ---**
So, it made me curious,
**[19:23] ---**
and I flew around the country
investigating on my own.
**[19:27] ---**
Investigating...?
**[19:28] ---**
There were some differences,
**[19:30] ---**
but similar rumors were popping up in
places that were completely unconnected.
**[19:35] ---**
In the end, they were all just rumors, though...
**[19:38] ---**
Now, this is just an unsubstantiated opinion,
**[19:41] ---**
but after U.A., Hosu, and Kamino,
**[19:45] ---**
everyone knows how creepy
these remodeled villains are, right?
**[19:50] ---**
So I think some idiot is telling
scary stories to stir up the uneasiness,
**[19:54] ---**
and they spread across the country.
**[19:59] ---**
That villain earlier shouted,
"Hooray for metahuman liberation!" right?
**[20:03] ---**
That's similar, too, where an
old villain's biography was republished
**[20:05] ---**
"Unprecedented reprinting!!"
"Destro's Life Story"
**[20:05] ---**
"Metahuman Liberation Warfront"
**[20:09] ---**
and has been selling pretty well.
**[20:11] ---**
He was probably influenced by it.
**[20:14] ---**
Those kinds of books sell more
when society's uneasy, like they thrive.
**[20:21] ---**
Don't put on airs.
**[20:22] ---**
Just what is it you want?
**[20:24] ---**
Get to the point!
**[20:27] ---**
I want you to become a dependable
leader now that you're number one.
**[20:31] ---**
I want you to verify
the veracity of those rumors
**[20:35] ---**
and tell everyone proudly to stop worrying.
**[20:39] ---**
I'm not gonna do anything special.
**[20:41] ---**
I said the same thing yesterday, but basically,
**[20:44] ---**
I'm being the producer
behind the number one hero.
**[20:46] ---**
Bastard.
**[20:47] ---**
I just want to take it easy. Really.
**[20:50] ---**
Just go around on leisurely patrols,
**[20:52] ---**
complain that nothing happened today,
and then go to bed.
**[20:56] ---**
The best life!
**[20:59] ---**
I want to make it a world where heroes
have too much time on their hands.
**[21:08] ---**
Endeavor.
**[21:09] ---**
Here are your drinks--
**[21:11] ---**
Get back, Miss!
**[21:16] ---**
Who's the strongest?
**[21:18] ---**
Hawks, evacuate everyone!
**[21:21] ---**
Roger! What about you?
**[21:23] ---**
They weren't just rumors, huh?
**[21:25] ---**
Must be my lucky day.
**[21:28] ---**
Oh, well. Either way, this is what I came for.
**[21:33] ---**
Flashfire Fist!
**[21:35] ---**
Jetburn!
**[21:44] ---**
Come.
**[21:46] ---**
I'll show you who I am.
**[23:20] ---**
"Preview"
**[23:20] ---**
Here's the preview!
**[23:22] ---**
A Nomu from the League of Villains
has attacked Endeavor and Hawks.
**[23:26] ---**
Do they have a chance at winning
**[23:28] ---**
against an opponent with
regenerative abilities and multiple Quirks?
**[23:33] ---**
As the nation holds its breath while it watches,
**[23:35] ---**
Endeavor, the newly-minted number one,
burns with seriousness and resolve.
**[23:43] ---**
Next time, "His Start."
**[23:45] ---**
Go beyond!
**[23:46] ---**
"Next time: His Start"
**[23:47] ---**
Plus Ultra!
**[23:50] ---**
