--Y'know?
--[BYSTANDER A gasps]
Hey, look! Heroes!
[BYSTANDER B] That's the guy
from the UA sports festival!
This is sorta nerve-wracking.
What gives? You
went out on patrol
during your internship,
didn't you?
Though, I guess
I don't blame you
for being shaken
after what went down.
Oh, no. It's not that.
I just kinda missed
out on learning
some of the basics, so...
Yeah? Huh, that must be strange.
Ah, don't you worry.
Sir and Bubble are the
ones who are actually
watching the target today,
so I can teach you
all about patrol duty.
We'll get you up to snuff!
Just watch and learn, my friend!
[IZUKU]
I still don't get it.
Why didn't All Might say
anything to me about Nighteye?
[SIR NIGHTEYE]
All Might chose wrong.
Mirio should have
inherited the power.
[ALL MIGHT] I just don't wanna
have to talk to the guy.
[IZUKU] Something big
must have gone down
if they're not even on
speaking terms anymore.
Hey, we forgot something!
Our hero names!
We should know
each other's, right?
Oh, yeah, yeah,
totally. I'm Deku!
Deku? Like "Deck?"
That's weird.
I like it.
'Kay, well, I'm Lemillion.
For the number of
people I'll save.
You know. Can't save 'em all.
But I can at least sh**t for
saving , , instead,
so that's what I'm doing!
When we put on our
costumes and start
hittin' the streets, that's
when we become heroes!
So don't let your
guard down, Deku!
Got it, Lemillion!
[ERI panting]
[IZUKU] Whoa, I'm sorry.
You took a tumble.
Are you okay? Can I,
uh, help you up?
[ERI whimpers]
[IZUKU]
Why is she trembling?
[CHISAKI]
You should be more careful.
[CHISAKI] We don't wanna
cause trouble for the heroes.
Be careful not to
arouse any suspicion.
[IZUKU]
No way.
And just like that,
my work study...
...had begun.
[CHISAKI] I hope you'll
forgive my daughter, hero.
I don't know what
to do with her.
Always playing rough,
bumping into things.
[IZUKU]
Chisaki from Shie Hassaikai.
The man Nighteye is after.
Whoopsie-daisy looks like
that darn mask came off again.
You might wanna think about
getting it resized, my friend.
I'm so sorry about that.
It was our fault, too.
[IZUKU]
Right. I'm an idiot.
If I let him see
how freaked out I am,
he'll get suspicious,
and that could screw up
Nighteye's entire case.
[MIRIO]
I know that mask!
You must be from
the Hassaikai, right?
You guys are famous around here.
[CHISAKI] Yeah, please
don't mind the mask.
It keeps out the filth.
I don't believe I've seen
you two in the area before.
Right! Well, we're
still pretty new,
but you probably already
guessed that much.
Now, on your feet, partner.
Can't do much hero-ing
from down there.
[MIRIO]
His guard's obviously up.
I can't tell him Sir's name.
[CHISAKI] So, what agency
do you belong to?
[MIRIO]
We're only students!
Far too lowly to be claiming
association with an agency.
We're just using our internships
to get some experience.
Speaking of which,
we need to finish
patrolling this
division by lunch.
Come on, let's go.
Right!
Please. Please don't go.
[IZUKU]
Um, excuse me.
I'm sorry, but your
daughter seems scared.
[CHISAKI]
A reaction to being scolded.
[MIRIO] You're making
him more suspicious.
Sure!
[IZUKU]
Wait, but...
[IZUKU]
This girl.
She's grabbed me
and won't let go.
She's got bandages all over.
Those are just from
"playing rough"?
[CHISAKI] Eri's an
exceptionally clumsy girl.
[IZUKU]
Her whole body's shaking,
but she's not making a sound.
Does that seem like
it's normal to you?
[CHISAKI] It's dangerous
to make assumptions
about what's normal
for other people.
Yeah, everybody's
different, am I right?
[MIRIO]
This is bad.
Chisaki obviously
doesn't want us to pry.
If we spook him now,
he'll be even less
likely to show himself.
We have to let it go.
[IZUKU]
Togata wants us to leave,
but that would only
make him more suspicious.
What hero would abandon
a frightened child?
[MIRIO]
When we put on our costumes
and take to the streets...
[IZUKU]
...we're heroes.
Tell me. What are you
doing to this girl?
[CHISAKI]
You heroes really pick up
on the subtlest things,
don't you? Very well.
This situation is embarrassing.
So I'd prefer to discuss it
where we won't be overheard.
[CHISAKI] Hard to admit
that you can't control
your own child,
but lately Eri defies me
no matter what I try.
[IZUKU]
What do you try?
Parenting, man. Sounds rough.
That can't be easy.
[CHISAKI sighs]
Yes, children are tricky.
So determined to do
whatever they want...
[gasps]
[CHISAKI] ...that sometimes
they just don't listen.
[IZUKU grunts]
[CHISAKI] Oh, good. Done
with your temper tantrum?
Uh. Eri, are you sure?
[CHISAKI]
She's always like this.
Sorry to involve you
in our family drama.
I'm sure you have better
things to be doing.
Good luck with your internships.
Wai--
Eri...
[MIRIO] We're not going after
them. Didn't you notice?
He was ready to get violent.
That's why she went back.
If we keep pushing him,
he's gonna be even
harder to catch.
For now, let's report to Sir.
[BUBBLE GIRL] They may be
weaker than they used to be,
but the yakuza still know
how to pick a stronghold.
Nice, high walls and not
too many windows, right?
Oh, hey, my phone.
[SIR NIGHTEYE] After a week
and a half of surveillance,
I feel that there are fewer
comings and goings today.
[BUBBLE GIRL]
What?
It's Million.
He says they came into
contact with Chisaki.
[CHISAKI] The young people
today are sicker than ever.
Chrono, prepare the bath.
[KURONO]
Yes, sir.
[HASSAIKAI MEMBER A]
I'm real sorry, Boss.
I swear, I barely
took my eyes off her.
The kid made a break for i--
[CHISAKI]
And clean that up.
[KURONO]
Right.
[CHISAKI]
This is maddening.
They're all infected
with hero syndrome.
[MIRIO]
Sorry! It was a total oops.
I mean, wow, what are
the odds of randomly
running into a target
on the street like that?
No, I must
accept responsibility.
I should have used
Foresight on you two.
It's my fault.
I'm just glad
you guys are okay.
You could've been in danger
if he'd suspected something.
It didn't feel all
that scary to me.
Chisaki and his
g*ng were involved
in a recent traffic accident
caused by a group of hoodlums.
Which isn't remarkable
in and of itself.
Except, there were
zero casualties.
The thieves experienced
intense pain
and lost consciousness,
but they were uninjured
and even reported that
preexisting ailments
like rheumatism and cavities
were completely gone.
[SIR NIGHTEYE] The authorities
believed Chisaki's Quirk
may have been responsible,
but with the villains
caught and nobody harmed,
there was no crime
to accuse him of.
[BUBBLE GIRL] The money
that was stolen b*rned up,
so there was nothing
left to recover.
The police didn't find
any sign of a crime
in that regard, either,
but the whole thing
seemed suspicious,
so Nighteye Agency
began watching Hassaikai.
We haven't figured
out what it is yet,
but we know they're
up to something.
Oh, I forgot. Sir.
We got lucky--at least a little.
Our brief encounter
yielded some new intel.
Chisaki, he has a daughter.
A daughter?
A little girl who
he called "Eri."
Her limbs were all
wrapped in bandages.
I don't know anything
else about her,
but she was asking for help.
There must be something
we can do to protect her.
I won't let your arrogance
interfere with this case.
But, Sir...
[SIR NIGHTEYE]
Haste won't help the situation.
Take your time
pursuing a target.
If you rush, they are that
much more likely to escape.
You're not so special
that you can save
whoever you want
whenever you want.
We've asked other agencies
to team up with us.
We must first predict
our opponent's moves
and then make
preparations to face him.
Good intentions alone aren't
enough to save the world.
The wisest villains
hide in the shadows.
In order to find them,
we must watch and wait.
The two of you should head
back into the office for today.
Bubble Girl. Let's go.
Yes, sir.
[IZUKU] And so, the first day
of my work study ended,
leaving me with a sick
feeling in my stomach.
[CHISAKI] Eri, you have to stop
disobeying me like this.
You're the core of
my plan, you know,
and I would hate to have
to get my hands dirty.
[MIMIC]
Overhaul, got a sec?
It's Shigaraki from
the League of Villains. line: %
He says that he's got
an answer for ya.
So, like. What
happened to Bakugo?
Was he fighting again?
He's not the only
one busted up.
Look at the back of the room.
[ASHIDO] His beautiful face!
Who would do such a thing?
The provisional license
classes sure sound tough.
Must be great workouts, though!
Stop talking like I'm not here!
Class is starting now.
Sadly, I must mark Tsu
and Uraraka tardy.
Their absences are excused.
Kirishima isn't here
either, is he?
Oh, you didn't hear?
Those three found places
to do work studies.
Whoa, for real?
Hey, how'd your work study go?
Were there lotsa scantily-clad
heroines at the agency, huh?
Yeah, sure.
I don't wanna hear about
you getting ahead of me!
[ERI]
Please. Please don't go.
[IZUKU] My pent-up
frustrations got worse.
I couldn't concentrate in class.
[IZUKU] Something had
to change and fast!
All Might's out
jogging right now.
Uh...
I figured you knew.
He's been working out
a lot ever since
the home visits were completed.
I say he should take it
easy since he's retired.
[IZUKU]
All Might! Please.
You've got to tell
me everything.
[coughs]
[rumbling]
I have to talk
to you, All Might!
Whoa, okay, Young
Midoriya is here!
Hold on, how did you
even know where I was?
You knew what I
was walking into.
Nighteye understands how
One For All works.
And he wanted you to pass
it on to Togata, not me.
You had to know I'd
find out everything.
So why didn't you
warn me about it?
[ALL MIGHT] I wasn't sure
it was my place to tell you.
Of course it was!
To hear all of this at once...
Be rejected by him...
And before I even had a chance
to make sense of it all.
The worst part was not knowing
why you kept it a secret.
How I should feel about it.
I need to know
everything, All Might.
Not as your fan,
but as your successor.
I didn't think knowing
this information
would help with
your development.
But if you really
want the truth...
Anything's better than having
you keep secrets from me.
[ALL MIGHT]
You may regret this.
I won't.
Okay. So Nighteye had
always been a fan of mine.
It was my policy not
to take on sidekicks,
but eventually I gave in and
let him be my number two.
We worked together
for about five years.
He was the brain
behind my operations.
I know that much. I also
know you two got along.
We did.
But, six years ago,
we dissolved our partnership
because of my injury.
Turns out we had
different values.
[SIR NIGHTEYE]
This is reckless, All Might.
It's time for you to step down.
But everyone's looking
to me. For my help.
If there are
frightened citizens,
then I have to go to them.
Keep doing hero
work in that body
and the entire world
is going to suffer.
If you wish for enduring peace,
then retire while
you're a legend.
If you're looking
for a successor,
why not search at UA?
You've put in your dues
and more, All Might.
Imagine what your
future could be like.
A comfortable life.
Just find a cheerful
and strong replacement
and entrust your role
in society to them.
It's time.
And who will be the Symbol
until I find someone like that?
Even if All For One is beaten.
Another villain
will replace him.
[SIR NIGHTEYE] I know the
importance of the Symbol!
I revere its function.
But please. All Might.
You can't even smile right now.
[SIR NIGHTEYE] I'll say
it again. You must retire.
If you continue your
hero activities like this,
I won't support you.
I won't. I can't.
[gasps] You saw it, didn't you?
I told you not to use
your Foresight on me.
If you step away now,
another number one will appear.
Things may be rough
for a little while,
but we'll survive.
We'll find a way
through it together.
And while we're
figuring this all out,
how many people will have
to fear for their lives?
Listen to us!
Besides, your Foresight
is never wrong,
so why fight this.
There just hasn't been
any precedent for it!
But I think... I can
change the future!
At this rate, events will
play out as I've seen.
That can't happen!
Don't you see?
I'm here because I want
to do something to help you!
Please, All Might!
I'm sorry, but for the
sake of this world,
I have to be able to say
that I am still here.
Please! Stop!
If you continue like
this, you'll face off
against a villain and die an
unspeakably gruesome death.
[ALL MIGHT] The two of us parted
ways after that argument.
[ALL MIGHT] We couldn't
agree about my future.
Principal Nezu recommended
Young Togata to me,
but before I could meet him,
I ended up running into you.
[ALL MIGHT] I'm sorry.
I didn't want to tell you.
Because... Because
you're my fan.
[IZUKU]
All Might's... going to die?
[IZUKU] That's when it
really hit me. Death.
I'd known something
bad was coming.
And everyone will
die someday. But...
Being forced to hear it
from All Might himself...
He'll die.
[ALL MIGHT]
After we met and I decided
I would pass my power on to you,
I told Nighteye my plan.
But he was so
opposed to the idea,
and the rift between
us grew even deeper.
You're passing your One For All
onto a Quirkless
middle school student?
[coughs] It's the
right choice to make.
The boy wants to save people.
He can't do that
with intentions alone!
There are any number of other
people who are more suitable!
Perhaps. But that doesn't
mean he's not worthy.
He will wield One For All next.
[ALL MIGHT]
He rejected my decision.
He thought I was an idiot,
throwing my power away.
So he started training a
candidate he thought was better.
[IZUKU] Wait, hold up.
All Might, please.
Tell me about Nighteye's vision.
How far into the future was it?
[ALL MIGHT]
Six or seven years.
The further into
the future he sees,
the harder it is to know exactly
when something will happen.
But his Foresight
has never been wrong.
Wait, then that would be
this year or the next.
You're kidding. Right?
This can't happen.
I want you to live, All Might!
Do you remember what you
said at the sports festival?
Our promise?
[ALL MIGHT]
I want you to introduce yourself
to the world and
proudly say "I am here!"
I can't do that yet. So live.
Until I can keep our pact.
Watch me tell them "I am here."
I need you here.
Don't you understand?
Young Midoriya.
Back then, when I
heard I would die,
I accepted that as my future.
I just figured...
...I'd keep running
at full speed
until I got to the finish line.
All Might.
And then, when I was
fighting All For One,
I thought that would be
the end of the race.
But, you were there, kiddo.
You see, all those
days we spent
with one another affected me.
You were timid and Quirkless,
but you had heart.
And then your mother told me
to live so I could protect
and help raise you...
So, despite my future,
I'll keep fighting with you
by my side, Young Midoriya.
Because you have changed me,
I promise that I will live.
I won't be k*lled.
I will mold my fate and
strike down anything else
that gets in our way
with this fist.
[ALL MIGHT] I'll keep on living.
I won't let them end me.
The future that's been foretold
will not come to pass.
That's what I have
resolved, All For One.
But you see, so far everything
has been as he said.
In each case, Nighteye's
predictions have come true.
And that's why I can't face
him after all these years.
Please know I never
wanted to become
a shackle holding you back.
Hey. Who knows,
maybe I've already
reshaped my destiny
into the future I wanted.
[IZUKU]
Not yet.
We can't be positive his
prediction won't come true.
It can't happen.
I refuse to let it.
That's why, no matter
what happens to you,
I'll be there
to help fight fate.
I'll try not to be too
much trouble. I promise.
[IZUKU]
Hold on.
Have Nighteye use his
Foresight on you again!
Make up with him!
Then we'll see if the future
has already been changed!
Uh-- Doesn't that seem
a little--I don't know...
[IZUKU]
It's a matter of life and death!
I'll try to bargain with him.
[ALL MIGHT]
Wait, Young Midoriya.
Think about how Nighteye
must feel about all this!
[SHIGARAKI]
What a boring office.
[CHISAKI] I don't like
overly cluttered rooms.
[SHIGARAKI] You had me walking
in circles underground
for minutes. I'm not an ant.
[MIMIC] More importantly,
did you really mean
what you said on the
phone the other day?
That you'll join us
under the right conditions?
[IZUKU]
Here's the preview!
Kirishima is doing his work
study at Fatgum's agency
in Kansai. There, he
teams up with Amajiki,
one of UA's Big Three.
When the group finds
themselves facing off against
a g*ng of street thugs,
Kirishima is pitted against
an opponent with
a boosted Quirk.
Will he be able to
stop the criminal?
Next time: "Let's Go,
Gutsy Red Riot!"
Come on, Kirishima!
Show them the results of
your intensive training.
Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
