04x20 - (D) Gold Tips Imperial

[bunniefuu]

[IZUKU] Today is Saturday,

which means that

Kacchan and Todoroki

don't have to go

to provisional license training!

So, since we've

got everyone together,

we're all working on our

upcoming performance.

Now. Let's jam.

[KATSUKI]

m*rder them with music!

[SERO] Perfect. That's

gonna look super cool!

Let's go see what

the dance team says!

I'm not sure we've

got enough people

to pull something like this off.

Loosen up, Midoriya!

You've got to be

precise, but flexible!

Just because its called a "lock"

doesn't mean you

should be so rigid.

So get that body moving.

And then end with a pop!

[IZUKU, TENYA, TSUYU, HAGAKURE]

Pop!

[MIRIO] Looks like no one

has noticed me yet.

I'll swoop in and hit 'em

with a can't-miss gag

that'll cr*ck 'em up before

they know what's what.

[IZUKU]

Ah-- Oh, hey, Togata!

--[IZUKU, OCHACO] Uh?

--[TSUYU] Ribbit.

[IZUKU, OCHACO, TSUYU]

Eri!

[MIRIO] Hey, guys!

I brought a peach for ya!

[IZUKU]

Eri!

Hi, Deku.

Wait, don't tell me

you've got a secret kid!

That dress looks great on you.

You are precious!

[AIZAWA]

Midoriya.

Finally got permission

from the principal.

[NEZU]

That's a good idea.

But you'll have to be careful.

The poor girl has been separated

from normal society

for an awfully long time.

I'm afraid the whole experience

could overwhelm her.

She'll be thrown

into a new setting

that she's completely

unfamiliar with. I suggest...

In order to avoid

additional stress,

we're letting Eri explore

the campus before the festival.

Well, hello!

You must be Eri,

from the work study!

Very nice to meet you. I'm Iida.

Mineta! Hey, there!

Man, you're gonna

be a looker, aren't ya?

[BOTH]

Uh!

[MIRIO]

Oh. Right. She's kind of shy.

[TENYA]

That's perfectly okay!

Let's start the tour.

I wanna show her as much

of the school as I can

so she knows what we do here.

You wanna come, too, Midoriya?

Yes!

[KIRISHIMA]

Dance team! New idea.

Uh? It's Eri!

Oh, wait, we were never

actually introduced, were we?

Okay, crew, why don't

we grab a little break.

It's teatime!

[MIRIO]

It may be a weekend day,

but since the students

live here in the dorms,

there are still a ton of

people running around campus

helping to prepare

for the festival.

[BUSINESS STUDENT A]

Hey. It's Togata!

Whoa! Who's that?

Don't tell me your temporary

leave from school

was because you have a kid now!

[BUSINESS STUDENT B]

Dude, you gotta say something.

Now I feel like it's for real.

[BUSINESS STUDENT A]

All jokes aside, here.

Class is putting on

an awesome lecture,

so make sure you check

it out! You, too, man.

Wouldn't miss it for the world!

[IZUKU]

This is a really nice flyer!

[STUDENT A]

Can you toss me a nail?

Hey, whoa, whoa, wait!

Don't cover that with a poster!

Everyone's super busy even

though it's still a month away.

Oh, def, you gotta try

and outdo last year.

And it takes a lot

of work to pull off

something Plus Ultra.

[IZUKU yelps]

[TETSUTETSU] Sorry! Hey.

It's Midoriya from Class A!

Why am I not surprised, huh?

You're walkin' around

like you've got

nothing to do while

we're all hustling.

Eri, are you okay?

I thought it was that

dragon from before.

You saw a dragon?

Oh. You're talking about Ryukyu.

So you're just gonna ignore me?

Talk about rude.

I heard Class A

is doing a concert

or something for us.

That's so cute.

But to put it bluntly,

Class B's stellar performance

is gonna make you wish

you hadn't even shown up.

We're doing Romeo and Juliet

and the Prisoner of Azkaban:

The Return of the King .

It's a completely original

play written by us.

A super spectacular

fantasy epic!

You should make sure

you come prepared.

Bring a hankie to wipe

the tears from your eyes

when you realize

how superior we are!

[cackles]

He's even nastier

than usual today.

Yeah, sorry about that, guys,

Kendo isn't around, so there's

no one to keep him in line.

That's weird, the two of them

typically show up as a set.

Well, she's off prepping for the

beauty pageant right now, so.

Beauty what?

[YOSETSU]

It's kinda funny.

She didn't even mean to enter.

Monoma was still right, though.

We're pullin' out all the stops.

Sorry 'bout that,

Eri, UA's great,

but every place has

its downside, I guess.

Mr. Aizawa didn't say anything

about there being some

kinda beauty pageant.

Well, it's too late to enter.

But you know who's

really gunning hard

to win it this time?

No idea.

[MIRIO]

Last year's runner-up!

The Big Three's best

girl, Nejire Hado.

[gasps] Hey, hey!

What's Eri doing here?

Hey, girl! Why ya

here? For funsies?

We should put

Nejire in something

that skews cute instead of sexy.

Yeah, that cost her last year.

You've got a flashy Quirk

and you're so nice!

And your body's so bou... bou...

[MIRIO]

He means balanced.

But even with all that,

you were still only runner-up?

Yeah, listen to this!

Are you listening?

Every year, I lose

to the same girl!

She's just too amazing.

The beauty pageant queen,

Bibimi Kenranzaki,

from support course Class -G!

[IZUKU]

She sounds incredible.

[AMAJIKI]

This year's pageant is stacked.

Kendo gained some

underground fans thanks

to that commercial,

so she's a real contender.

And of course, Hado

won't be holding back.

Just thinking about performing

in front of all those people...

It sounds like a nightmare.

Imagining it makes me nauseous.

At first, the only reason

I entered was because

Yuyu told me to, but

turns out, it's lots of fun!

I wanna crush it.

That's why, this year,

I'll definitely come in first!

It's my last chance.

You can do it.

[MIRIO] Moving on!

Next we'll show you...

The support course!

All the grades are

working together to put on

an extra-awesome

exhibition of their work!

I can't wait to see!

I hear it's a

highlight every year.

Yes. The school festival

is the support course's

time to shine!

[gasps] Hatsume! Wait. Whoa!

[HATSUME] That's my

super-cute baby number .

[IZUKU] Think you might

have some grease on you.

Ha! I'm filthy, but I can't

waste time bathing.

What?

That's dedication.

[HATSUME] Even though

we showed off some items

at the sports festival, we took

a backseat to the heroes.

But... this time the

contraptions we've come up with

will be given the

spotlight they deserve!

Which means lots of

big companies and buyers

can get up close and

personal with my work.

I need to make sure

they're perfect

so they don't embarrass me!

How did the iron soles work out

for you, by the way?

If there's anything else you

need, please let me know.

--I will. Thank--

--[rattling]

[HATSUME]

Baby?!

[yelps] Not again, Hatsume!

[SUPPORT STUDENT B]

Where's the extinguisher!

Sorry. We should run.

Don't worry, Eri.

'Kay.

[MIRIO] Welp, that's

pretty much all of UA.

That's right.

So, what do you think

about our school, Eri?

I, uh. I'm not sure.

[BOTH laugh nervously]

[ERI]

But...

I can see how hard everyone

is working on the festival,

and I do wanna know

how it all turns out.

[NEZU] It sounds like

our special visitor

is getting excited.

[IZUKU] Principal Nezu!

Ms. Midnight! Hello!

It seems like we made

the right choice.

[IZUKU]

That was a lot of cheese.

Know what? I'm excited

for everything, too.

I love seeing so many

students joining together

and having fun, all in

the hopes that their peers

will have a good time.

Now, if we could

just get the police

to understand that.

Now, now, Kayama.

Anyway, I hope your hearts

burst with happiness

when the day rolls around.

[POLICE CHIEF]

You must cancel this festival.

I can't believe the head

of the police himself

is paying me a visit.

[POLICE CHIEF] Villains

are becoming more daring

and our heroes are

losing confidence.

If something were

to happen to UA again,

we might not be able to recover.

I understand that. However--

Listen. You're putting

everyone here at risk.

[NEZU] I firmly believe that

because of the trying times

we're living in, the students

need an event like this.

We'll make sure it's safe.

Please let us continue.

We can't let the future

look any bleaker

than it already does.

I'll spare you all

the gory details,

but the principal

fought hard for you.

As a result, security

will be heavier

than in past years. Just know.

If an alarm sounds,

even if it's a false one,

we'll have to shut

down and evacuate.

Those were the terms

the police agreed upon.

That's strict.

Of course, to keep

that from happening,

we're also beefing up

our defensive measures.

We even let Hound Dog

off his leash to patrol.

[IZUKU]

You did?

Oh, yes.

Did you know Class A's

performance is causing

quite a stir in

the faculty lounge?

You'd better make

it pleasurable.

Right!

[ERI]

Deku? What performance?

[IZUKU]

We're doing a big live concert!

I'm on the dance team!

And I'm gonna do

my best to make it fun

for you and everybody else.

So be sure you come watch!

Sorry, you two. My break

is almost over. I'm off.

Okay! Just so you know,

I'm lookin' forward to

seeing you get down, too!

[IZUKU]

And then...

A week later, it happened.

[ASHIDO]

Midoriya.

I've got bad news.

You're fired from

the dance team!

[yelps]

[ASHIDO] You're fired

from the dance team!

Oops, maybe that

sounded a little harsh.

You've been scouted

by another team.

You'll be on

special effects now.

It has to be me?

I already told Eri

that I'd be dancing.

They wanna make it so Aoyama

swung around enough that

the whole room's lit up!

[IZUKU]

I'm pretty sure

everyone's gonna

be able to see him.

[ASHIDO] But we don't have

a fly system in the gym,

so they want someone

with a power Quirk

to move him by hand.

[AOYAMA] At the beginning

of the performance,

I shall transform from

a dancer into a disco ball.

It's the perfect job for moi .

Say you'll help us!

So, I'll be behind the scenes,

where people can't see me.

[KIRISHIMA]

Sorry! It'll waste

the dance practice you put in.

But can you please

help us out with this?

We don't want people

to lose interest.

We've got to come up with

something better, you guys.

When Aoyama turns

into a disco ball,

it'll only be

interesting to watch

for a minute or two. Right?

I don't think anyone

will even care

after the initial shock.

Wait, I know! What if

he flies around?

We can swing him over

the audience's heads!

[ALL gasp]

[KIRISHIMA]

Yeah, that's it!

[SERO]

Great idea, Koda!

[IZUKU]

If I can dance while doing it,

I won't have lied to Eri.

Even if it was an accident.

It's my duty to help how I can.

I'll do it.

Nice! I knew you wouldn't

let us down, man!

-- Merci, beaucoup!

--[STUDENTS chatter]

[IZUKU] We have practice

and meetings like this

after class every day.

I won't have much free time

until the festival is over.

And so, I try to train hard

when I get the chance.

[grunts]

It's still hard for you

to sh**t consecutively

or while moving around.

That'll be a nasty bruise.

Here, you can ice it with this.

[IZUKU] Thanks. I'm trying to

exercise so much more control

than I've had to in the past.

Is there a trick

to it or something

that I might be missing?

No idea.

[IZUKU]

Mm...

To be honest, I was able

to use percent

of One For All

pretty much right away.

I can only reiterate the advice

I gave you in the beginning.

To create an image in your head.

The egg, remember?

Keep working and

focus on how it feels

when you're successful.

I think all you can do

is repeat those ste--

You haven't done

that in a while!

[IZUKU] Even though we both

started out Quirkless,

there's a huge

difference between us.

All Might really is

a natural-born hero,

through and through.

There's no doubt about it.

[HATSUME]

Whoopsie! But nice catch!

Hatsume? What're--?

Sorry, I sometimes test...

[IZUKU]

Wait, isn't this bad?

To be seen out here with him?

[ALL MIGHT]

Don't worry about it.

Thanks for snagging it!

This sweetie's a mini

third eye I'm working on.

[IZUKU] And, she's not

interested in me at all.

[HATSUME]

Oh, yeah! Midoriya!

About that new item you

asked me for the other day.

I had a baby that could

do something similar,

so I'm rejiggering it right now.

Once the application

goes through,

I'll get it to you right away!

Hold on.

I thought you needed to wait

until after the school festiva--

Please, every artist tinkers

when they're on a break.

And since I've got a base

already, it'll be done soon!

Oh, wow. Thanks.

You're the greatest!

Huh? Where are

you going, baby?

Wait for Mama!

A new item, huh?

[IZUKU] Yup. There's something

I think could help

harness this wind pressure move.

[ALL MIGHT]

Ah, I see.

I tried something like

that in the past, too.

[IZUKU] All Might,

you used a support item?

How did I not know that?

Well, yeah.

But it was too bulky

to be functional,

even though it was

designed to use

with only to

percent of my power.

It would've been

fine if I used

mid- to long-range att*cks

for the most part,

but since I was more of

a short-range brawler,

I kept breaking it.

I got rid of the

tech and carried on

with nothing but

my own strapping body!

Haven't seen that

form in a while.

[hacks] That said,

reinforcing your power

with new gear could be smart.

Just make sure you don't

rely on it too much.

Some people aren't

able to hold their own

after losing an item.

I've seen way too many heroes

fall into that trap.

Right.

Now then.

Let's get back to

that visualization.

[IZUKU] Aw. This feels

just like old times!

[KATSUKI]

You're rushing, bastard!

Follow my tempo!

But you keep throwing

in new breakdowns--

it's so confusing.

[YAOYOROZU] Jiro, it's almost

like you were born to teach.

For a beginner like Kaminari

to be able to learn

chord progressions in

just a week is impressive.

It's okay, I guess.

Anyway, today's tea

smells really good!

I'm glad you noticed!

Mother sent me this rare type

that can be impossible to find.

It's a tea called

Gold Tips Imperial.

Oh! Everyone, please

enjoy a cup if you'd like.

[HAGAKURE] No idea what

that is, but thanks!

[ASHIDO] No idea what that is,

but it sounds boujie!

[IZUKU] All Might had an item,

All Might had an item,

All Might had an item.

I'm such a failure for

not knowing about it.

Hey, Deku, aren't

you going to try

some of Momo's yummy tea?

--[yelps]

--[IZUKU muttering]

[IZUKU gasps] sh**t!

I didn't mean to play that.

[GENTLE]

Gentle Video.

[GENTLE] Dearest viewers,

do you drink different types

of tea for different occasions?

Whenever I'm preparing

my personal kettle...

A video about tea?

Perfect! Here.

Oh, yeah, thanks.

This particular fine blend

is called Royal Flush.

Whatever could that

name imply, I wonder.

[LA BRAVA]

That your discriminating taste

sets you apart from

the rest of the world?

[GENTLE]

Be sure to stay tuned.

My next video is an alarm,

not just to my faithful viewers,

but to all of society.

Try to contain your

anticipation until then.

That was short.

It's Gentle.

[OCHACO]

Is he famous?

People don't seem

to like him very much.

[IZUKU]

I only kind of know who he is.

He's a villain who's

known for causing trouble

and recording it.

Oh.

It's kind of nuts that he's

been putting out videos

for years now but

hasn't been caught yet.

I wonder what

he's planning next.

[GENTLE]

Ugh.

Poor Gentle.

You've been working so hard

that you've skipped

tea breaks for a week.

Are you all right?

Yes.

La Brava.

Recently, heroes have begun

to fall out of favor

with the public.

Their feckless actions

have bred distrust

from the masses. It's obvious

these so-called do-gooders

are ill-prepared

for complications.

They don't seem to comprehend

the crisis they're in. If they

did, they wouldn't dream

of putting on a school festival

in these most

harrowing of times.

Yeah, but, Gentle,

I don't know how I feel

about involving these

innocent children

in all of this, you know?

[laughs] My dear,

this scheme of mine

is merely a wake-up call.

Following my

masterful incursion,

the future heroes will be

encouraged to grow stronger!

Your plan is going to

inspire youthful minds?

You're so cool, Gentle!

Now, let us go over the

route we'll take to inv*de.

Open the Criminal Folder!

[GENTLE]

It won't open.

Oh, sorry, I locked

it for protection.

Just right-click there.

[click]

[GENTLE]

This path has the fewest number

of hero agencies

and the least traffic.

At five o'clock the morning of,

we will make for

a side road here.

[LA BRAVA] Why not just

use your Quirk instead?

It would be unwise

given there are heroes

who patrol the skies.

After a jaunt, we'll stroll

through a lovely park.

Once we're on the other side,

we'll almost be there.

If we move carefully

to avoid drawing attention,

it should take us to

minutes at the most.

And then...! I'm

delighted by this part.

See this old house

standing in the shadow

of a hardware store.

[LA BRAVA]

Yes.

[GENTLE]

It's actually a charming café!

[LA BRAVA]

You're not going to have

your tea outside,

as usual? That's risky!

The owner is passing

and barely managing

to keep his business open.

It's a shame.

No one notices that it's

anything more than an old home,

and there are only

five or six regulars.

But, La Brava,

there is no question.

I must drink there.

Because this cafe carries

the most lauded of tea leaves.

The elusive Gold Tips Imperial!

Don't you think it's fitting

for the grand caper

we're about to pull off?

Of course!

And because of the

owner's advanced age,

it opens early, at AM.

We can enjoy

-minutes of teatime

if we get there

when the doors open.

This is way more research

than you usually do.

[GENTLE] After that,

we go back to the side street

and past the construction

site where we'll find

a slightly sloping mountain

surrounded by forest.

Once we climb that,

we will arrive at UA.

Most likely, we'll have

to deal with Hound Dog,

who excels at

sniffing out intruders.

Once we get to the forest,

we must rub dirt

and leaves over our

bodies to hide our scent

from the mongrel.

And as for the school.

There is a sensored security

system called the UA Barrier

that's nigh

impenetrable and covers

the entirety of the campus.

And that's where my job

comes in, right, Gentle?

I'll infiltrate UA's

internal network

and secretly disable the

sensors! Because, not to brag,

but I'm a highly

skilled master hacker!

I truly have the most

wonderful partner imaginable.

My dear, I am forever grateful

to have you at my side.

[LA BRAVA]

Oh, stop, Gentle!

Anything you need!

You know I love you!

La Brava. I do mean it.

When I first began...

...I learned how

to upload my videos.

But technology oft eludes me.

Alas, there were few views,

and the rare comments

I did get were harsh.

It's only received views!

And it's already been

uploaded for over a month.

[doorbell rings]

[GENTLE]

That doorbell signaled the end

of my melancholy days.

[LA BRAVA]

I'm sorry. I...

I hacked into your account

to get your address.

I'm a fan.

I can help you carve

your name into history!

May I?

[GENTLE]

It was you! My first admirer.

To be honest,

I had my misgivings.

I was terrified that

I was being too careless.

But then... When we

began plotting, recording,

and editing as one,

the views on my videos

began to increase!

La Brava!

I am betting my soul

and my prized moustache

on this audacious

festival scheme!

For the world, for society,

for my courageous dream,

and to honor the feelings

you have for me.

Gentle!

[GENTLE]

My La Brava!

Oh! I love you,

my Gentle Criminal!

I love you, too,

my darling girl!

I'll make certain

nothing stops me.

[GENTLE]

No matter what. We will succeed.

[IZUKU]

Here's the preview!

It's finally time for the

UA school festival to start.

Early in the morning,

I have to go buy some

extra supplies for

our performance.

And while I'm out,

I have a fateful encounter

with an infamous character.

He said, "You'll

ruin the aftertaste

of the Gold Tips Imperial."

Next time: "Deku vs.

Gentle Criminal."

Stay away from UA.

I won't let you

ruin the festival!

Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
