06x22 - (S) Friend

[bunniefuu]

Two months...

In two months...

At a mansion... in Haibori Woods...

I was supposed...

to bring a target there...

Other than me...

...a few others...

were told the same thing...

All For One...

"Haibori Woods"

"Former Hideout of the

Creature Rejection Clan (CRC)"

Everyone--

Let's do this.

Be careful.

Yeah, we don't know

what traps there are, either.

Wait, Deku, don't be rash!

All For One and Shigaraki

are still not in a state

to steal One For All.

As expected... it's empty...

Did you enjoy your Q&A with Lady Nagant?

Izuku Midoriya.

If this has activated,

then that's what it means.

I like trying to predict things.

A person like you wouldn't be able

to abandon a person like her, right?

I didn't force her to do anything.

It was her will.

People who experience setbacks in life

are called villains.

Even if they extol

Quirks and individualism,

in the end, it's a regulated society.

Those who don't fit in are ostracized.

There are no exceptions.

Democracy or socialism,

the roots are the same.

It's a problem from before society.

It's a principle of living in groups.

The path you've chosen is thorny.

Every time you fight,

your heart will be worn down.

It will never end.

While I was imprisoned,

I kept thinking about you.

I'm not interested in that oaf,

All Might, anymore.

Next, it's...

...your turn.

In a world where there's no black or white



I cried in the depths of hatred



Not even allowed to stop,

we just have to move



Forward beyond that



I impatiently acted rashly on my own



The fate that I'd carried until now



You have a hard time even walking



Is there still a way to save you?



When you feel like you're about to give up



I'll rush to wherever you are



We won't let go of any of

our feelings either, any of them



Even if you say it's none of my business,

I still want to be by your side



That's what it means to be a hero



I won't lose any of the voices

that came together either, any of them



I'll get up again as

many times as it takes



Let's go and put our lives on the line



My soul cries out in

response to your feelings



I won't hesitate anymore, so let's go



To the ends of true worth



We were able to narrowly

escape the expl*si*n,

but all traces of the League

have been blown away.

We can't get any other

information from Nagant?

Looks like that'll be impossible.

According to the doctor

at Central Hospital,

she's so seriously hurt

that it's strange she's still alive.

So a person battered

by despondency and despair

is on the verge of death, huh?

Endeavor, don't you think it's

about time we took our chances?

We should share the secret of One For All

with more than just a few select heroes

and create a giant dragnet

to do a comprehensive search.

What became obvious

with the incident with Lady Nagant

is that future investigations

into the League

will focus the burden

even more on Midoriya.

The police already have their hands

full managing the cases they have,

and there are still no eyewitness reports.

Before our only hope is exhausted,

we should have a support system...

The day before yesterday,

Death Arms resigned.

Running around with no time for a break,

and what I get in exchange are doubt

and people venting their anger.

Yeah, I know.

I hear the support, too.

But you know, one boo

can overshadow ten cheers.

It's my first time feeling like this.

I thought I was different.

I'm sure it was like this

for the others, too.

It looks like I wasn't a hero--

I was just human.

In the last battle,

he took initiative to round up all the spy

heroes in the Paranormal Liberation Front.

He was a hero with grit.

Anyone's thread could be broken tomorrow.

Really, there is no end to those

taking off their costumes even now.

The press is getting closer

and closer to Deku.

Information is leaking

from the resigning heroes.

With the loss of order,

power is dominant right now.

If the reality of One For All

is exposed to the world,

It could cause a chain reaction

of negativity to focus on Deku.

I can imagine plenty

of bad things happening.

I mean, they're already

happening right now.

I've been thinking...

Why doesn't All For One tell the public?

About Midoriya, and One For All...

It seems like something

he'd do right away.

If he does, then we'd mobilize

everyone and isolate Deku.

Since he hasn't said anything,

he wants to avoid this, too.

However, for us, if Deku doesn't move,

we don't have even the

chance of getting their scent.

Neither the police

nor the heroes... are enough.

"Notifications"

"Now"

"Shoto: Hey, pick up the phone"

Once you're done crying, stand up.

We'll all go stop Toya together.

Sorry, Shoto.

Please wait a little longer. Right now--

Oh, it's mine.

It's from All Might.

Midoriya has come into contact

with the second hired g*n!

And...

He won instantly!

Young man...

He didn't have any information.

He might explode, too.

Be careful.

Wait a minute!

Food! You haven't eaten, have you?!

All Might...

I'm fine now.

You don't have to follow me.

Really, I'm...

Next, it's...

...your turn.

I'm fine now.

That's not--

I can move at the same level

as your % without backlash!

That's why--

If you continue like this,

you'll face off against a villain

and die an unspeakably gruesome death!

That's why...

You're trying not

to get me caught up in this--

In your mission as

the successor of One For All.

I want you to tell the world "I am here!"

You don't look back at me anymore, huh?

That's why you don't have to worry.

I did swear...

to protect him and raise him.

But...

Wait a minute!

I know!

I know how big that burden

you must carry alone is!

"Don't work too hard."

"It's okay to rest."

I need to tell you these things!

Young man...

I...

He appears without a sound...

I heard that he has

a bunch of different Quirks.

Isn't that All For One's ability?

Is he a Nomu?

But I heard he saves people.

I've heard that he's always hurt

and covered with blood and dirt

and that he doesn't

look like a hero at all.

Change of plan, Deku.

At this rate, your body

won't be able to hold up.

It looks like we should get a date for the

official dispatch of overseas heroes soon.

If we have more people, we have

more options for what we can do.

You're the key.

You can't be worn down here.

I can still move.

I'm fine.

We can't give

the villains time to prepare.

Ninth... Your wounds

aren't fully healed yet.

This isn't the time for you

to push yourself yet.

My feelings have become a burden.

No...

Everything's equal with that kid.

For better or for worse,

the manifestation of our Quirks

has allowed him to put into

practice his guiding principle--

To be a superhero who helps

people in trouble everywhere.

His path is correct.

Leader...

He can't stand still.

Especially not under these circumstances.

That's what it means

to have One For All--and us.

However, if there were one thing Izuku

Midoriya needs right now, it would be...

Are you hurt?

Multiple Quirks...

Do you work for All For One...?!

No, I don't.

That's good then! That's good!

We're fine! Really, we're fine!

All For One...

What does he want to do?

Where is he?

I have to stop Shigaraki.

I have to stop the League of Villains.

I won't let them hurt anyone else.

Next, it's...

...your turn.

I need to complete One For All.

Next, it's your turn.

In order for everyone

to live in peace again--

In order for everyone

to live a normal life again--

In order to smile with everyone again--

In order...

Rampaging because of impatience...

Wishing to be alone, and then exhaustion.

It's just as that person said!

Numbers equal justice.

If I bring you in, then I'm secure!

Dictator...

A jailbreaker from Tartarus...

A hired g*n...

I hope you will tell me

where All For One is.

Oh, will you fight?

Good! Fight, fight!

Fight against these ignorant fools!

My body's moving by itself.

Stop. Please stop!

Dictator.

Crust was the one who apprehended him.

I think it was five years ago...

Five years ago, during

the bloodless surrender case.

His Quirk, Despot,

can be removed by delivering a strong hit

to his victims or knocking him out.

Oh, but of course

he's got a plan to counter that.

He's using people as shields.

I can't attack with anything big.

Air Force...

But I don't have my gloves...

Blackwhip--

No, our bodies are just moving!

We're not controlling them!

I know. It's okay.

I will break his spell over you.

It's all right.

I'm thinking of a solution right now.

Now...

Damn it!

Armor-Piercing Shot!

...if there were one thing Izuku Midoriya

needs right now, it would be...

"Friend"



"Friend"

Found him, you guys.

"Izuku Midoriya"

"After Izuku Midoriya left U.A."

Is that true?

Yeah, it's just a guess though.

I'll bet he's with Endeavor

and the others. That damn nerd!

Guess? You didn't call to check?

All three of your mentors--

I called many times.

However, Hawks did not pick up.

Denim Head didn't either.

Neither did Dad.

Even if he's busy, it's weird.

All I can think is that they're

hiding something from us.

It looks like All Might

hasn't come back either, right?

Yeah.

Classes have been suspended,

and we can't even get

promoted to the next grade.

The hero course students

are basically being told

to standby in the dorms

or help with securing this area.

It's hard to get any details like this.

Denim Head and Spoonbill

both approached Deku in the hospital.

And All Might, too.

These letters...

If he's scared to even get close to U.A.,

then who put them in our doors

in the middle of the night?

It had to have been All Might!

They must all be working together!

If he's with adults,

then he should be okay, oui?

The news only reported that

the top three had teamed up.

All Might wasn't included--

That's what I'm saying.

I don't know Endeavor

and those guys that well,

but I know Deku and All Might.

It's probably the worst-case scenario.

Then, we need to figure out

how to contact Midoriya! Right?

Endeavor graduated from U.A., right?

Uraraka...?

Let's force our way in.

Principal... You set me up, didn't you?

I listened to them and determined

that it'd be worth a discussion with you.

I'm always updating what I do.

Why have you been ignoring me?

Didn't we talk about

stopping Toya together?

Shoto, I was saved by just those feelings.

Well, I wasn't.

Is Midoriya an exception?

Endeavor, you left Deku and

All Might alone together, right?

I knew it.

Yeah, that makes sense.

It'd generally be the right thing to do.

But you don't know anything about Deku.

Deku... He's crazy...

He doesn't consider himself.

He just says, "It's fine."

All Might became the

Symbol of Peace like that, too,

so he can't stop Deku when he's like this.

Endeavor!

Those two shouldn't be

left alone together!

It looks like he's now

shaken off All Might, too.

Midoriya...

If only we'd been as fast as him...

If only we could be by his side...

But...

Is that a GPS?

C-Can we borrow this?

Um, I'm just a guy who happened

to end up in Midoriya's class.

I also just happened

to spend this year with him.

Me, too...

And me!

I can't believe he didn't say anything

about his worries about One For All to me,

and I'm shocked that he thought I'd be

convinced with a letter like that, but--

Those of us in Class A will

follow him and act along with him.

No matter how much responsibility

goes hand in hand with One For All,

Midoriya is our friend.

Knowing that our friend is

walking down a path of thorns,

we can't smile about the future.

The outside is dangerous.

There's no order.

For you kids to also--

You've grown up, Todoroki.

I agreed to the team-up knowing

that he didn't want to come back to U.A.

because he was being

targeted by the villains.

But it's okay if he comes back.

Huh?!

Ever since we accepted him, he has

been a student under our protection.

Come join us! This is your hero academia!

Hero... academia...

But if Deku returned here, then what

about the safety of all the evacuees?

Besides, there are still those among

them that are hostile toward us...

I didn't accept our status as a designated

shelter just because of our size.

I'll figure out a way

to make them understand.

Also, to prepare for the school festival,

we reinforced the U.A. Barrier for extra

security but didn't end up using it,

so now's our chance to see its true worth.

It's fine.

All Might grew up in this school, too.

Bring him back... with your own hands!

Jailbreaker secured!

We did it, Bakugo!

It's "Great expl*si*n

m*rder God Dynamight"!

Please excuse my error!

My body's back!

Heroes!

Everyone...

Why?

Because we're worried about you.

I'm fine.

That's why...

You don't have to worry.

Get away...

Oh, that's great!

Just what we want from

the great One For All successor!

So...

Are you able to smile right now?!

In order to smile...

For everyone to live in peace...

I have to go...

That's why...

Get out of the way, everyone!

Make us, you All Might wannabe!

Midoriya, I know that you haven't changed.

Let's do this, everyone!

Yeah!

"Preview"



"Preview"

Here's the preview!

At that time, I continued my lonely fight.

Trying to do what only I could do,

trying to do everything by myself.

I didn't understand--

That if I turned around,

there would be light.

Next time, "Deku vs. Class A."

"Next time: Deku vs. Class A"

Next time, "Deku vs. Class A."
