04x25 - (D) His Start

[bunniefuu]

[FUYUMI] I brought clean clothes

and something to keep you warm.

[REI]

Thanks.

It's supposed to get

kinda chilly next week.

[REI]

That sounds nice.

[FUYUMI chuckles]

[REI]

I like the cold.

The heat's never

been our thing, huh?

I'm glad to see

you're looking healthy.

Ever since he started college,

we stopped seeing him as much.

I'm pretty sure he's got

a new girl there.

Oh, come on, Sis!

That's not fair,

I call you guys!

Anyway, you look

great, too, Mom!

I'm happy to see

a smile on your face!

Any special reason?

Well, Shoto has

been sending me letters.

He said the extra training

for the provisional license

is tough, but he's working hard

to catch up to his friends.

Wow. Didn't know

he wrote you so much.

[FUYUMI] Between living at

the dorms and his training,

he hasn't been able

to pop by nearly as much.

Hey. Don't you think it's time

they let you get a phone?

It'd be easier than writing.

You're right.

I'll see what the doctors say.

[FUYUMI]

Can I see the letters?

[REI]

Sure. Just don't tell Shoto.

[NATSUO]

By the way...

[REI]

Hmm?

D'ya see? He's officially

number one now.

Natsu.

[NATSUO] The world doesn't know

what he did to you or to us.

How terribly he

treated his family.

It's not like he ever

mentions us or anything.

[FUYUMI] Come on, why would

you even bring him up?

It's fine, Fuyumi.

[NATSUO] I barely

remember him being around.

He's basically like

a stranger to me,

so I don't care

what happens to him.

Still... I can't stand

that he pretends

he never did anything

bad to you guys.

Especially to you, Mom.

It's been about ten years

since he put you in here.

And he hasn't had

the decency to apologize.

He wants to leave

the past behind

and forget about his family.

I don't think that's true.

Why do you always insist

on protecting him, Mom?

[REI]

See those flowers?

[REI]

He knows they're my favorite.

I only mentioned it once.

When we'd just met.

[FUYUMI]

Wait, Dad's been here?

Many times, apparently.

Of course, I haven't seen him.

I'm still afraid.

And the doctors don't

think it's a wise idea.

I have no idea what he's

feeling or how his mind works.

Nor the external pressures

that must be on him.

But see?

He is thinking about us.

[REI] He's definitely trying

to face his past and his family.

In his own way.

[HAWKS] Hey, Endeavor,

I didn't know you could fly.

I'm just not falling!

Now stay alert.

This thing's still moving.

[HIGH-END] Ha, didn't think you

could k*ll me with puny flames,

did you, Hero?

[ENDEAVOR]

He's regenerating.

The one at Hosu

could do that, too.

I've never seen

one of the grey ones

with that power.

[ENDEAVOR] Does that mean the

black Nomu have more abilities?

No, it's not just that.

This one is completely

unlike any other I've faced.

Because...

...it can talk!

Show me strength.

[ENDEAVOR]

In that case,

i'll take it alive

for interrogation!

[ENDEAVOR]

Flashfire Fist.

Hell Spider!

[ENDEAVOR grunts]

[ENDEAVOR growls]

[ENDEAVOR] He's already

on the att*ck again?

[HIGH-END roars]

[screaming]

[HAWKS] Come on.

Get yourself together now.

Stop 'im, Number One!

[ENDEAVOR]

It overcame my reverse thrust.

[ENDEAVOR] How is this thing

faster and stronger than me?

You've gotta be kidding me!

It's falling!

[HAWKS]

Sense them. Fierce Wings.

[HAWKS] Screams,

breaths, rustling clothes,

every human movement.

I won't be able to get

everyone out of the building.

[HAWKS]

I don't have enough feathers.

So, I'll focus on those

in the most danger.

[PRESENT MIC]

Hawks. Quirk: Fierce Wings!

He has tough,

yet supple feathers!

Each and every one of them

is under his control.

[HAWKS] Seventy-six people

in the damaged section,

all evacuated safely!

[ENDEAVOR]

Flashfire Fist.

Hell Spider!

Is that the best

you've got, tough guy?

Of course not!

[ENDEAVOR]

Time to slice and burn.

[HAWKS grunts]

I'm guessing you don't

spend a whole lot of time

in the kitchen,

do you, Endeavor?

That's bad form, your food's

supposed to be chopped

into uniform pieces.

[ENDEAVOR] You should stop

yapping and get back in the air.

Love to.

But when I lose feathers,

it makes it way harder

for me to fly.

[ENDEAVOR]

Just deal with it.

[HIGH-END]

Bird...

You guys. Don't worry.

We got you!

[HIGH-END]

You're in the way!

[NOMU A roars]

[ENDEAVOR] More of them? They're

not the same color, though.

Were they just stored

inside its body?

[ENDEAVOR growls]

I'm starting to overheat...

[HIGH-END]

Which of you is strongest?

[ENDEAVOR] If that's why

it showed up here today,

it has no interest in

fighting someone weak.

That sounds

about right for a villain.

And in order to

keep focusing on me,

it's using pawns to keep

my backup occupied.

This Nomu is thinking.

Oh, God! Somebody, help us!

--[HAWKS yells]

--[NOMU B, D groan]

Hawks! Thank you!

Whoa!

[HAWKS] I gotcha,

let's get you somewhere safe.

Although, to be frank, I'm not

great against power types.

So I'm not

making any guarantees.

[HIGH-END]

You aren't f*ring.

Why?

The heat rays... stopped.

Or are you just

running out of power?

[ENDEAVOR]

It's perceptive, too.

Flashfire Fist compresses and

intensifies my flames into

a single super-hot blow.

If I use it recklessly,

my temperature rises, and my

body starts to deteriorate.

But right now,

not only is this monster

faster and stronger than me,

I have no idea what

other Quirks it may have.

Holding back could

prove to be fatal.

[ENDEAVOR] Overheating has

always been a problem.

[ENDEAVOR]

It's what drove me.

[ENDEAVOR]

With each of you.

[ENDEAVOR]

The reason for my actions.

[ENDEAVOR growls]

[gasps] Look at that,

Endeavor is still in the sky!

Shining brightly.

I can feel the heat

from his att*cks!

[REPORTER A]

He's a one-man inferno!

[HIGH-END]

Let me try out... my abilities.

I want to test

my new strength on you!

[ENDEAVOR] I'll incinerate

you with hellfire so hot,

you won't be able to

regenerate fast enough.

Prominence Burn!

[CITIZENS screaming]

[ENDEAVOR]

So instead...

...just watch what I do.

[ENDEAVOR] I can't be

allowed to look pathetic.

Not in this moment.

[HIGH-END]

Not enough.

[HAWKS]

Ah! Watch out!

[ENDEAVOR] It tore off its head

and threw it out of range?

[ALL MIGHT]

Endeavor!

[HIGH-END] Aren't there

any stronger heroes around?

Is he best?

[ENDEAVOR] I swear I'll

become someone you can be

proud of, too.

Not just as the number-one hero.

But as the man

that you call father.

[REPORTER A] The villain

who suddenly appeared

is now destroying the city!

I can't confirm this,

but it looks as though

many bioengineered human Nomu

are also on the ground.

Heroes are currently attempting

to suppress them

and evacuate citizens.

However, Endeavor appears

to have been greatly wounded.

[This madness...

I can't help but draw

comparisons to the nightmare

we witnessed three months

ago in Kamino Ward.

[ENDEAVOR growls]

[HIGH-END]

Too slow.

[HIGH-END]

You are not good enough!

[NATSUO]

What is that idiot doing?

He needs to stand down

and wait for reinforcements!

[NATSUO] You know better

than anyone you can't repeat

what All Might did.

There's no way you

can live up to him.

That's why you gave up

everything back then.

'Cause it drove you crazy.

So you neglected your kids,

ran mom down

to her breaking point...

[NATSUO]

Quit and get out of here!

[FUYUMI]

Natsu.

I know you don't

want to hear this.

And maybe you can't accept

the truth right now, but...

Our father never gives up.

Just look at him.

He's probably the most

stubborn man in the world.

[POLICE OFFICER A]

Everyone! Calm down!

No pushing! Everything's fine!

Let me inside!

You're crushing me!

[WOMAN B]

Move!

[HIGH-END]

Humans... over there.

[screaming]

[MAN D]

I said, move! Get out of my way!

Mommy, where are you?!

[screaming]

There's no Symbol...

[screaming]

[REPORTER A] This is what

it looks like when people

have no hope.

You've got to be kidding.

[TOKOYAMI]

It's chaos. Sheer panic.

[AIZAWA]

Todoroki. So, you know, then?

It's bad.

[TAMEDA] Don't just say

whatever you want!

What, you think scaring

people makes for good TV?

Okay, you gotta chill, dude.

Look over there! His

flames are still burning! See?

You know what that means.

Endeavor's still alive

and fighting for us!

Don't say there's no symbol just

'cause All Might's not here!

You're losing it, man!

We need to run!

Let's hurry and get out of here!

[TAMEDA] Do you know

what he's doing right now?

Endeavor's risking

his life for our sakes.

[TAMEDA]

Look at him!

[HIGH-END]

So you regenerate too, Hero.

You are the same as me.

[ENDEAVOR]

I'm nothing like you.

I can barely even move

my body at this point.

[ENDEAVOR growls]

[ENDEAVOR] I'm just

propelling myself forward...

...with the heat of my Quirk!

[ENDEAVOR]

I'm thankful for the pain.

It's keeping me conscious.

[ENDEAVOR]

I won't let this end here!

I have to keep my eye fixed on

the slim chance at victory.

Keep turning the heat up!

More!

Even hotter!

[ENDEAVOR]

You showed your hand earlier.

Your head is what I need

to destroy to end you.

So much for taking you in alive.

[ENDEAVOR]

Gotta go faster.

Can't give him time to react.

I'll go beyond my capabilities.

I won't stop fighting until I

turn this ugly bastard into ash!

[HAWKS]

That's it, Endeavor!

You've got this!

[HAWKS grunts]

[ENDEAVOR growls]

[HAWKS] My feathers

can't do much against

this thing's destructive power,

but I can match it in speed.

[HAWKS] You know, I was

watching you, so I understand.

[HAWKS] There wasn't

a single other person

who seriously attempted

to surpass him.

You were the only one.

You never stopped

trying to take his spot.

[HAWKS] Honestly, you made it

pretty damn awkward sometimes.

[HAWKS] I sent a few of

my feathers your way earlier.

[HAWKS]

Let me help you.

I can add my speed

to your firepower!

With that, you'll

have one final push.

This is it!

[ENDEAVOR] I wanted to become

stronger than anyone.

[HAWKS]

My wings aren't strong enough.

It's gotta be you.

End this!

[ENDEAVOR growls]

[ENDEAVOR] It's acting like

some kind of wild animal now!

[HIGH-END roars]

[HAWKS]

Seriously?

[HIGH-END growls]

[ENDEAVOR] Even though

it's burning from the inside,

its regeneration is

still keeping up?

[HAWKS] He doesn't have

enough firepower!

Not good.

I've already sent

most of my feathers!

And they're about

to be incinerated.

Hawks, now!

[HAWKS gasps]

Listen to me, Nomu!

[ENDEAVOR] You, who were created

to have multiple Quirks.

[ENDEAVOR] A bioengineered

freak obsessed with strength.

[screaming]

It... It's Endeavor!

He's still going!

[REPORTER A] Even as he

suffers and struggles...

...he's fighting!

[TAMEDA] Endeavor's risking

his life for our sakes.

Look at him!

[TODOROKI]

Old Man...

Come on!

I'm watching you!

Sorry. But my

feathers are toast!

I can't help you much

from here on out!

[ENDEAVOR]

This is enough. Take me higher!

Higher!

Into the sky

where I won't have to

worry about collateral damage.

[HAWKS]

I get it.

Way up there, you don't have

to hold anything back.

[ENDEAVOR]

Villain...

I see it...

You are me from the past,

or another future.

Burn up.

Be at rest.

[ENDEAVOR bellows]

[ENDEAVOR] I've always hated

that damn school motto.

But it seems appropriate.

[ENDEAVOR]

I'll go Plus Ultra.

Prominence Burn!

[REPORTER A]

Endeavor is still standing!

[REPORTER A]

He did it!

He's on his feet--

with his fist raised high!

A sign of victory!

No.

A symbol of a new beginning!

[IZUKU] Even though All Might

has effectively retired,

heroes cannot stop

moving forward.

We must keep fighting.

[IZUKU] We are the ones

who must carry his Symbol now.

[IZUKU]

And we will!

[ONE FOR ALL]

It's you.

You're the ninth.

[IZUKU pants]
