05x21 - (D) Revival Party

[bunniefuu]

[IZUKU] When superpowers

first appeared, it was chaos.

People across the planet

had to find peaceful ways

to adapt to a new reality.

Eventually, an ideology started

circulating among metahumans.

Not Quirk suppression,

but liberation.

Many believed the freedom

to use meta abilities

was a natural right.

Especially Chikara Yotsubashi.

He called himself Destro,

the man who would

destroy the present.

[IZUKU] In his time, he brought

together likeminded people

and formed the

Metahuman Liberation Army.

After confronting the government

and struggling against them,

they were defeated.

Members were arrested,

and the organization was

thought to be dissolved.

Destro ended up writing

a book in prison

before committing su1c1de.

[IZUKU] When he left this world,

Destro had no idea

that he had a child. An heir.

[YOTSUBASHI]

How are things progressing?

We managed to track down someone

who has solid connections

to the League.

If we're going to approach them,

the sooner the better.

They're enemies of the

Liberation Army.

If the government continues

to stand idly by,

we have no choice but to

deal with them ourselves.

We will take down

the League of Villains.

In Destro's name.

[SPINNER]

Welcome to the suburbs.

Completely unremarkable.

[TWICE]

I like the atmosphere.

This place sucks!

[MR. COMPRESS] There's

a force , strong below?

Once Machia wakes up

in an hour and minutes,

he'll chase Shigaraki

to this stage.

When he makes his entrance,

he'll run into the

so-called Liberation Army.

Hopefully we last

until the curtain call.

How did I get tricked

into going along

with such a stupid plan?

[TWICE] Giran introduced

you to the League, too?

[DABI]

What's that matter?

[TWICE]

You bastard!

[TOGA]

Someone's coming!

[SLIDIN' GO]

A friend approaches!

I have been commanded

to act as your guide today,

so if you want to speak

with our esteemed leader,

you can follow my lead!

A hero?

Though not a well-known one.

[MR. COMPRESS]

There's nobody here.

[SHIGARAKI]

I get it. It's the whole city.

[SLIDIN' GO]

Right you are!

[HANABATA]

This is a liberated district.

Ninety percent of

Deika City's population

is hidden liberation warriors.

We appreciate you

travelling so far

to meet us face-to-face.

We celebrate your arrival.

You are the guests of honor!

[MR. COMPRESS]

Isn't that Hanabata,

from the Hearts and Mind Party?

He important?

Now, let the festivities begin.

Welcome in, new friends,

to our revival party!

[MR. COMPRESS] They weren't

lying about their numbers!

[TWICE]

It doesn't matter!

We're here! Where's Giran?

You must mean the broker.

He's with our grand commander.

I'm sure he's being entertained.

[TWICE] Didn't you say you'd

give him back if we came.

Greasy bast--

[SHIGARAKI]

A miniboss, huh?

[LIBERATION ARMY A]

Tomura Shigaraki!

[SHIGARAKI]

Head for the tower.

I'm always the best

girl on the ground.

[screams]

[TOGA]

Unless the ground explodes.

[KIZUKI] All those deaths

due to blood loss.

You're the culprit,

right, Himiko Toga?

"How a high school girl

was driven to madness.

Her deathbed confessions will

leave the world shocked."

I must interview you.

[pants]

Nope.

[GIRAN]

You made two mistakes.

First, you're treating an old

man as the damsel in distress,

which is embarrassing

for everybody.

Second, if they let a

bioengineered Nomu loose,

your people here don't

stand a chance against it.

They won't be releasing

any of those monsters.

There are three reasons.

Seems I'm more

informed than you.

One: ever since Camino,

we haven't seen

any widespread use of

the creatures, even though

the League is still active

and carrying out plots.

Two:

there's that high-performance

Nomu that appeared in Kyushu.

What's most important

here is the gray Nomu

that the black one discharged.

That's what I'm interested in.

Even though they played

around with some humans,

they didn't seem to possess

extraordinary power.

And three...

The only reason I'm here is

to retrieve my fallen Nomu.

[YOTSUBASHI] Dabi said he

was collecting the black one.

Which means they don't have

a surplus of other Nomu

that could be employed to

take the powerful one's place.

From this, I can

deduce some things.

Nomu are support g*ons from

their patron All For One

and it's clear they

don't have enough.

They're having to

ration the monsters

that made them viable opponents.

A League of Villains

that can't use Nomu

is nothing more

than a social club.

Every one of them

is strong! No fair!

The reserve liberation

warriors train each day

in preparation for the future.

Repeatedly drilling

their bodies and minds

in order to live their best

and most authentic lives.

That's why you're

such a nuisance.

Look at the news.

You came later and have no great

cause, and yet you're famous.

You fascinating girl.

It sounds like you hate

being interviewed.

That's a pity.

I threw away all restraint

toward my interviewees

a long time ago.

So, little one.

I'll have you bare

your soul to me now.

The public's interest

in the League is one thing,

but you're a different headline.

"The schoolgirl with

a mind full of v*olence!"

It's a catchy tag,

don't you think?

My blood's pumping like

my first day on the b*at!

[KIZUKI] Gone! No wonder

they can't catch that girl.

Where'd she go?

[TOGA grunts]

You went straight for the

jugular with no hesitation!

I have to know!

What horrors in your past

made you turn out this way?

Oh! Be careful

where you're landing!

Our forces will show no mercy.

If you want to

stay alive longer,

then you'll have

to do the interview.

[PRESENT MIC]

Chitose Kizuki.

MLA code name: Curious.

Meta ability: Landmine.

She can turn anything

she touches into a b*mb.

They're not too lethal,

but she has lots of 'em!

[grunts]

[laughs]

[KIZUKI]

Syringes?

So that's how you do it!

Your ability lets you

swallow blood and transform!

And you can ingest

multiple people,

truly a master of disguise.

Being able to mimic

them is a skill,

but you also possess

instincts and talent

that the average

m*rder*r doesn't have!

The audience will want to know

how you fell into

this slasher life.

[TOGA gasps]

[TOGA]

The blood exploded!

[KIZUKI] By the way, don't

even think of transforming

and hiding yourself!

There are warriors

within our ranks

who are more than willing

to become bombs for the cause!

So at , you're

the oldest daughter

of the Toga family,

born August seventh.

Last seen at your

middle school graduation.

Did you catch the candid

interview with your parents?

And they spoke to

your classmates, too.

Everyone said the same!

"She was a cheerful and

obedient child always."

So how'd ya end up here?

When did things first

go off the rails?

Why did you throw away

a normal life?

I understand what happened.

You feel so much pain.

But instead of observing it,

I want to hear it

from you directly.

[YOTSUBASHI] Kizuki.

You won't grab the hearts

of the masses with clinical

words such as these.

Dusty facts and hearsay

aren't what will draw

people to our cause.

Conduct interviews.

Look at the faces

of your subjects.

In order to guide

public opinion,

you must appeal to emotion

first and foremost.

[KIZUKI] I will convince

the public with your story!

It's all for the

Liberation Army!

All you have to do is tell me

how you went insane!

[TOGA]

I threw away a normal life?

What is that?

[KIZUKI] An iconic face.

She's like a doll.

You're finally opening up to me.

[TOGA] The Liberation Army

is trying to build

a wonderful world,

so I love you.

I love you so much it hurts.

But I believe my life

right now is normal.

[NEWSCASTER A] Sources tell

us that the middle schooler

who mauled her classmate,

injuring him badly,

is still on the run.

No motivation for the att*ck

has been offered.

[STUDENT A] Toga was

always smiling and friendly.

I still can't believe she'd

do something so brutal.

I saw her. Toga.

She stuck a straw

into Saito's wound.

It looked like

she was in a trance.

[TOGA]

So good.

[STUDENT B]

She...

She had the most repulsive look

of bliss on her face.

[TOGA'S MOM]

We're so terribly sorry.

We did our best,

but we obviously failed.

That child is a demon.

Mommy. Daddy.

This little birdie's

cute, isn't he?

I love him!

[KIZUKI]

You think you're normal?

An interesting thought.

Tell me, is this your true face?

[panting]

I knew it, my instincts

are as sharp as ever.

You are the embodiment of a

repressed superhuman society.

[groans]

[KIZUKI]

Poor lost child.

You're ragged inside and out.

An unfortunate soul

who sacrificed herself

through the suppression

of your meta powers.

That is who you are, correct,

you pitiful girl?

Because of the meta

ability you have,

you grew up obscenely

fascinated by blood.

[TOGA]

So cute. So pretty.

[KIZUKI]

But do you know who is to blame?

This world.

What you felt was

completely natural.

You were interested in blood,

but society couldn't

comprehend that.

It's not your fault the world

wasn't ready to accept you.

That's why you put a lid on your

desires, suppressing yourself,

wearing a mask over

your true identity.

[TOGA'S MOM]

Stop it! What are you doing?

[TOGA'S DAD]

Quit smiling like that!

It's so creepy.

You look like a deviant!

[TOGA'S MOM] Why can't you

just be a regular girl?

Why can't you be normal?

[TOGA]

You shut your mouth!

[KIZUKI]

Detnerat's patented Chain Ring!

[KIZUKI]

Curious Flattener!

There's no difference

between your "normal"

and the Liberation Army's goal.

They're one and the same.

This is the ultimate truth of

the Liberation Army's ideals.

Your life will be written

about in our modern-day

"holy book," as a shining

example of that truth.

Please tell me

if my thoughts seem

incomplete in any way.

If not, this interview

won't be finished.

I can't have a subject this good

die before their final words.

[TOGA]

No!

Where will you run to?

The League cannot overpower us!

[TOGA]

I don't like her!

Doesn't she get

that I love my life?

When I'm happy, I smile big.

[TOGA] You may kiss someone you

like, but my way is different.

I suck the blood

of those I love.

Don't you dare

feel bad for me!

It's your reserve of blood!

Oh, I think I'm tearing up!

[panting]

[KIZUKI] I know that meta

ability only allows you

to change your appearance.

You must want to look

cute at the end.

What a beautiful tragedy.

[TOGA] The last bit of blood I

had from back then was Ochaco's.

Izuku trusts her,

so I was saving it.

Lucky. Must be nice.

I wanna get close

to someone I love, too.

[KIZUKI]

Please, give me... your story!

No!

[TOGA]

I want to be like you, too.

[TOGA] Every day I was chased

by the police and heroes.

I became so sensitive to what

was happening around me.

When I pretended to be

a high school girl,

the world became kinder.

Don't get caught.

Keep on moving.

Don't get caught.

[TOGA]

Am I using Ochaco's Quirk?

[grunts]

What's this?

On her form, it said

she could only change

her physical appearance!

Don't tell me...

She level-ed up just now?

The fear of death

evolved her meta power.

[TOGA]

Yes.

I will love, live,

and die normally.

I want to become more...

...like those I love!

What a wonderful

headline that makes.

This will be my

greatest feature.

We keep chopping them down,

but there're too many.

You haven't k*lled

a single one of 'em.

[TWICE]

Toga's gone. Where is she?

[TOGA panting]

[TOGA]

I'm a mess. Just like Izuku was.

It's better not to k*ll,

leave 'em to the big guy.

But I wanna do it

myself. Because...

The things we hate...

...should be destroyed.

[TOGA]

Right, Tomura?

[SHIGARAKI]

I'm sleepy.

[SHIGARAKI] When you're

this tired, sometimes

stuff looks like it's

moving when it's not.

You hallucinate things

that aren't there.

Like you're being overwhelmed

with information.

I know that my body's

glitchy right now.

[SHIGARAKI]

What's this?

[SHIGARAKI]

Another flashback.

[SHIGARAKI]

I don't recall this happening.

All I remember is how I felt.

At that time, it was like a

weight lifted off my chest.

[SHIGARAKI]

Why was that again?

You're gonna be fine.

I've got you!

[SHIGARAKI] If you're gonna show

me a memory, show me all of it.

I'm rooting for you.

Know that, Tenko?

[SHIGARAKI]

It's like a corrupted stream.

Oh, great. Now I feel sick.

[retches]

[SPINNER] Is there something

wrong with my eyes?

Just now.

It looked like his Decay spread

even though he didn't

touch all of them.

Shigaraki. Did you...?

If our leader's

sparing no lives,

then I'll have some fun, too.

I've never been good

at not k*lling people--

Ice, huh? What a thrill.

Nice job sneaking up on me

even though you're a t*nk.

I should warn you

that I've gotten

pretty strong lately.

Upped all of my abilities.

Which is how

I know you're tough.

[GETEN]

Dabi, wielder of the blue flame.

The only person in the League

with a ranged att*ck.

Why won't you use

your fire right away?

Are you waiting

for me to strike,

or is there something wrong

with your meta ability?

Hey, it looks like

you've got a lot to learn.

It's a complicated concept,

but I guess I'll teach you.

Ice melts.

[GETEN]

I see. That's not good.

Speaking of having a lot

to learn, pay attention.

I control ice.

I've been training my power

for as long as I can remember.

Not even taking

time for my studies.

Training much longer than any

hero or villain for that matter.

The grand commander

helped me push my limits.

Sounds like a wonderful

life, you idiot.

Now die.

[GETEN] Don't think

flames as weak as that

will impact my creations.

[MR. COMPRESS grunts] Dammit!

You're ruining our stage!

Everyone's been split up.

Let's see. Dabi is over there.

Shigaraki and Spinner

were together.

Toga ran ahead and is missing.

Where's Twice? He was

here a second ago!

[TWICE]

No way. It's true.

You ran off somewhere

alone and I was worried.

Totally calm.

Damn it, what happened?

Toga! This can't be real.

It is!

I can't believe someone

can feel this cold.

Crap! She's burning up.

Shut it! How can I?

There's blood everywhere!

Is she breathing?

Yes! No.

Her face is a mess.

Is it the enemy's blood?

No, it's hers!

Don't worry. I'll wipe

it off for you.

Remember this?

It's the handkerchief

you gave me.

Give it up. This

girl's about to die.

No, you have to live!

You're where I belong.

You make the League

a place we want to be.

You're the only one who needed

this failed human being.

Damn it! I'll k*ll them!

[CHIKAZOKU]

Twice has found Toga.

They're in the storage

shed at Ikeda's.

The girl is still alive.

But we need to make sure she's

dead for Curious's feature.

Jin Bubaigawara. Twice.

Meta ability: Double.

In a sense, he's the

complete opposite of Toga.

He made copies of himself,

was almost k*lled

by those duplicates,

and lost his own sense of self

in the process.

To live your intended life,

you liberated your meta

powers, but that resulted

in a wounded soul.

[TWICE screams]

[PRESENT MIC]

Tomoyasu Chikazoku.

MLA code name: Skeptic.

Meta ability: Anthropomorph.

He can change things with

about the same mass as humans--

like fridges or desks--

into sentient puppets.

[CHIKAZOKU]

With your abilities at hand,

no matter what

happens to Re-Destro,

we can bring him back!

We will not repeat

the tragedy of Destro!

So now are you

starting to get it?

Such great power!

It's time that you begin to

understand your own worth.

I will persuade you to

join the Liberation Army!

[IZUKU]

Here's the preview!

A revival party put on

by the Meta Liberation

Army turns deadly.

While facing such

incredible numbers,

the League of Villains,

led by Shigaraki,

are driven into a corner.

How will Twice react

when he learns

the extent of Himiko

Toga's injuries?

Next time: "Sad Man's Parade."

Quirk: Double.

That can result

in a sorrowful march.

Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
