04x22 - (D) School Festival Start!!

[bunniefuu]

[IZUKU]

Tell me something.

The tea was part of

your ritual, right?

Well aren't you a

perceptive young man?

My dearest viewers!

I believe it's time to give

you a taste of my hijinks!

[GENTLE] Try not to be so

dazzled that you avert your eyes

as your favorite scoundrel

shows off his talents.

Gentle Criminal at your service!

My plans have shifted.

Due to our current

predicament, friends,

I'll keep my words brief.

For this caper,

I will infiltrate UA!

So cool!

I won't let you do that!

[GENTLE] Clever boy.

But no such luck for you.

Gently... Trampoline!

[IZUKU yelps]

[GENTLE]

I'm sure you have feelings

invested in this festival.

But they can't win

against the desires

of my mustache and my soul!

This scheme is a crucial step

toward my becoming a legend.

Be a dear and

stay out of my way.

Cheerio, lad.

Hope you stick the landing.

I won't let you ruin this

for my entire school!

[GENTLE] For the sake of the

world, for the sake of others,

for the sake of

my courageous dream,

and to honor your

feelings for me...

[MONOMA laughs]

Are you kidding, what the heck

are you wearing, Kendo?

Oh, dang. Looking good!

This is weird.

Don't just waltz in here.

She could have been

getting dressed.

This is nuts!

Hard to believe someone who's

sold her soul to v*olence

can pull off a look like that.

I can't figure out if that's

a compliment or an insult.

A compliment!

After all, I'm the

one who entered you

into the beauty pageant

to begin with.

[MONOMA] I figure you're a

shoo-in because of all your fans

from that commercial!

If you win, Class B will

be even more "Plus Ultra"

than the losers in Class A.

More importantly since you've

been focusing on this,

I haven't been getting

smacked as much.

[KENDO sighs]

Well, if I'm going to compete,

I'm at least gonna

aim for the top.

Hey, hey, hold the phone!

It's not fair to say

Kendo will win this.

It's still anyone's game!

Nejire Hado!

This'll be fun. Won't it?

I agree! I'm looking

forward to--

[KENRANZAKI]

Bless your hearts.

How precious you think

either of you stand a chance.

Not when I'm graced

with perfect beauty!

See for yourself!

Bibimi Kenranzaki!

[laughs]

Is this a girl fight, or what?

[MIRIO]

We'll be there super soon.

Let's see, Class A's

performance starts at AM,

and after that, we'll run

and catch Class B's play.

Then it's chow time

and the beauty pageant.

I bet you're hyped

to see Midoriya, right?

And his dance moves.

[ERI]

Mm-hm!

[POWER LOADER]

Hatsume? You should probably

clean yourself up before

the presentation, too.

What? All this grease is

just proof of my hard work.

[MIDNIGHT]

Good morning, All Might.

Morning!

What do we have here?

Permission to leave

the campus? This morning?

[ALL MIGHT] Yeah, he said there

was something he had to buy

before their concert, so he

headed down the mountain.

But we're just about

to kick things off!

That's cutting it pretty close.

I hope he's not doing

anything too naughty.

I see you in that boy.

Neither of you are

going to give up!

I think it's time.

Let's use my Quirk!

Can't let them get away.

[IZUKU grunts]

[IZUKU]

His air membranes are invisible

but they're definitely

still around.

[GENTLE] The things I

elasticize return to normal

gradually over time.

[IZUKU gasps]

[IZUKU grunts]

[IZUKU]

Track their movements.

[LA BRAVA]

He's on our tail, Gentle!

La Brava, if possible,

I'd like to save your Quirk

until the situation

becomes more dire.

[LA BRAVA]

But! At this rate,

it's highly possible

your plan will fail.

[GENTLE]

I'm well aware.

This clever caper is now

a race against the clock.

And he's fast.

[IZUKU] Earlier, I was

able to use my air b*ll*ts

to knock him off his trajectory.

In order to recover

from that and land,

he put up two of those

bouncy air membranes.

[IZUKU]

One of them's above this tree!

[IZUKU] If I aim just right,

I can use it against him!

[groans]

Are you okay?

That's it, I've got you both.

Stop resisting and give up!

[GENTLE grunts]

[LA BRAVA] In the past,

Gentle would've run away

as soon as he was discovered.

I am betting my soul

and my prized mustache

on this audacious

festival scheme!

But his passion

is getting him hurt.

My poor Gentle!

[STUDENT A]

Get this.

You know Aiba, that

short girl in Class ?

I've never even talked to her,

but she sent me a love letter.

What? For real?

It gets worse.

Based on the weird

stuff she knew,

she's been stalking me.

It's so creepy.

[STUDENTS laugh]

[STUDENT A]

There were pages and pages.

I've got to show you.

[STUDENT B]

Gross. What a psycho.

It's kinda scary.

[LA BRAVA]

In the fall of my very first

year of middle school,

I worked up the courage

to write a love note

to a boy who ended

up mocking me.

After that, I lost faith

in basically everything.

All I did was stare

at my computer.

But even doing that, I could

feel myself falling apart.

Maybe I should just say

goodbye to this life.

[GENTLE]

A good day to you, dear viewers.

Yes! It is I before you.

Gentle Criminal.

Have you lost your passion?

Then please,

put your faith in me!

For I will change

this wretched world!

[LA BRAVA] That's when

I first discovered you.

You brought light

back to my life.

[LA BRAVA] I can't get rid

of these dark circles.

I hope he doesn't

think I'm a weirdo.

[LA BRAVA] I'm sorry.

I hacked into your account

to get your address.

I'm a fan and I

want to help you.

May I please? Gentle?

[LA BRAVA] You took me in

without any reservations.

And, you were so, so kind.

You didn't make

fun of my feelings.

You accepted me wholly.

[LA BRAVA]

We walked together.

Side by side. Hand in hand.

[GENTLE]

Manami Aiba.

I've been thinking

of your codename.

How does "La Brava"

sound to you?

You're the perfect partner,

and your codename

should reflect that!

[LA BRAVA]

Gentle. My darling Gentle!

I'll hand you over to the

police as soon as I can.

Don't try to fight back.

I love you, Gentle.

And I you, my La Brava.

[PRESENT MIC]

La Brava. Her Quirk: Love.

By professing her

love to the person

she has feelings for,

she can temporarily power up

the object of her affection.

What's going on? His strength.

[PRESENT MIC]

The deeper her love,

the more of a boost

she can give.

If activated in times of crisis,

she can increase

someone's strength tenfold!

Ah, love. Such a powerful thing!

[GENTLE]

Apologies lad.

[IZUKU grunts]

[GENTLE]

I abhor using brute force,

so I usually edit out

scenes of such v*olence.

[GENTLE] It would be best

if you took a nap.

[yelps]

[LA BRAVA]

He really does hate this.

[IZUKU]

No.

I've fought against stronger,

faster people than you.

And beaten them.

[BOTH gasp]

[IZUKU] This isn't over.

I haven't lost yet!

[PRESENT MIC]

Good morning, UA!

Yeah!

Prep work is all done

and it's time to rock!

Let's get this party goin'!

If you can hear my voice,

get out there and have fun!

Let me hear you

make some noise! line: %

[PRESENT MIC] The UA School

Festival starts now!

[GENTLE grunts]

[GENTLE]

This is impossible.

No way!

[GENTLE]

That was our last resort!

In the past, Lover Mode

always allowed us to escape.

Together!

Why won't you just

give up already?

[LA BRAVA]

Gentle! No. I'm sorry!

Forgive me, but...

It seems like my love wasn't

strong enough to help!

Nothing's certain yet, La Brava.

Your feelings will

see us through.

[GENTLE]

Gently Sandwich!

[GENTLE]

The thinner the sandwich,

the more elegant

it's considered.

I do regret having to

pile on so many layers,

but I suppose it

can't be helped.

Sacrifices must be made

to achieve the dreams

of my youth.

To make certain

history remembers me.

This is no longer an ambition

I hold simply for myself!

Unless I want my name

to fade, I must persevere.

My aims are not so trivial

I would abandon them

only because you asked.

You're a UA student,

so you must understand

what it means

to yearn for a goal.

I do. If you understand that ,

then why would you target

the school festival?

Why would you ruin everything

we've worked so hard for?

Because. There's no other way.

It's for your dream.

So nothing else matters?

You'll get the

whole event canceled.

And take the happiness

away from a girl

who doesn't even

know how to smile yet!

[GENTLE] I will. If that's what

it takes to achieve my goal.

[GENTLE]

My dream is to become a pro.

A hero great enough

to be written about

in textbooks one day.

Yeah. Let's talk about that.

Things aren't looking

good for you, Tobita.

Our school isn't

exactly difficult,

yet your grades are horrible

and you keep getting held back.

On top of that,

this is the fourth time

you've failed the

provisional licensing exam.

Honestly, the only

thing I can recommend

is for you to

voluntarily withdraw.

[TOBITA'S MOM] I heard

the Takeshitas' son already

has agencies asking him to join.

Don't worry about it, Mom.

I'll keep trying. I swear.

Emergency! Call a hero!

[CITIZEN B gasps]

He's gonna fall!

[GENTLE]

I thought that, with my Quirk.

I could make a cushion.

I could save him.

[HERO A grunts]

[sirens blare]

[panting]

[DETECTIVE A]

He was seriously injured.

It'll be a long recovery.

Your actions interfered

with a pro's rescue attempt.

I have to charge you

with obstructing

official hero duties.

That will go on your

record, of course.

Spring is lovely.

Foraging is easier.

[laughs]

[FANS gasp]

[GENTLE] I had already

abandoned my dream.

And then...

Takeshita? You formed

your own agency?

That's wonderful!

You must remember

me from school?

We were in the same class--

Uh, sure. What was

your name again?

[GENTLE] That's when I knew.

I'd been forgotten.

[GENTLE] Would I simply

grow old and die alone?

Poor and pathetic?

No! Never!

I have time!

[LA BRAVA]

Gentle!

[LA BRAVA] We use Lover Mode

as a way to escape in a hurry.

Not like this.

He usually tries so hard

to avoid v*olence.

[GENTLE] You can mock me

and say that I'm weak!

I care not what you think.

We will prevail.

I won't mock you. But I

can't let you go to UA!

[LA BRAVA]

Defeat him! You have to!

[IZUKU]

That girl's Quirk!

[IZUKU] His power is

increasing even more.

[GENTLE] You! Tell me, why

is it you want to be a hero?

I love you.

[GENTLE]

This is no longer an ambition

I hold simply for myself!

[IZUKU]

I'm the same as you, Gentle.

My dream isn't just

my own anymore!

[IZUKU] I have a goal that

my body wasn't made for.

And there was a point when

I'd completely given up on it.

But for everyone

who's cheered me on.

For everyone who's

acknowledged me!

I'll become a hero.

Plenty of people in

this world are hurting.

And so...

I want to become someone

who can show them

a bright future!

I see. Yes.

[GENTLE yells]

[LA BRAVA] My love.

I believe with all my heart

you can do this!

If I can connect to

UA's internal network

using this special

wireless connection,

then I can deactivate

their security system,

and we can get inside.

This program I

created has to work!

Oh, no. I can't connect

from this far away.

I need to get closer!

Anything I can do to help

Gentle. I have to try!

[GENTLE] La Brava, no!

It's dangerous to go alone!

[IZUKU]

Can't let her leave.

[GENTLE]

Tell me.

Do you still believe me

to be an unworthy opponent?

[GENTLE] I will throw

away my pride, honor,

everything to defeat you.

Consider it a sign

of respect, lad.

[LA BRAVA panting]

[LA BRAVA]

No.

[LA BRAVA]

They're coming.

[IZUKU] sh**t Style.

St. Louis... Smash!

[GENTLE groans]

[IZUKU]

You were my toughest opponent.

Because you are someone

I can understand.

[LA BRAVA] Gentle, there

are heroes on the way!

[GENTLE]

Run. Save yourself.

[PRESENT MIC] The power up from

La Brava's Quirk is temporary.

And can only be used

once per day.

[LA BRAVA] No. Stop.

Take your hands off of him.

Let my Gentle go!

Get off him! Now!

Gentle poured his whole

heart into this scheme!

He even forgot to take

his beloved tea breaks

while he worked.

You want to show the

world a bright future?

Can't you see Gentle

is my only light!

Don't take my him from me!

Please, I'll have nothing left.

[GENTLE]

La Brava.

I told you to run knowing

full well that you wouldn't.

Because that is who you are.

[GENTLE]

You can't help me.

That would make you an

accomplice to my misdeeds.

Yes, but I've

already committed

plenty of crimes

with my hacking.

It'll be fine, Gentle!

It's all worth it

to be with you.

As long as I'm by your

side, I'll be happy.

[GENTLE] Would you have found

joy if you'd escaped alone?

Would you have found a new life?

[GENTLE]

No.

I'll die before I'll let

anyone take you from me!

[GENTLE] I'm sure you would've

gone on to commit crimes

far more heinous than we have.

But this is my fault.

I'm the one who

brought you here,

who accepted you and

made you my partner.

Who got you involved.

[GENTLE]

La Brava.

I hope you know that

I am happy with you!

[GENTLE] If the heroes

catch me like this,

it'll be obvious that

you are my accomplice.

In which case...

[GENTLE] The least I can do

is make it look as though

this fight never happened.

To make the crime just

a little less serious.

[GENTLE]

Don't come back, Izuku Midoriya.

[GENTLE] For the sake of

my darling's future.

[GENTLE]

Such a passionate young boy.

You should be proud.

You protected everything

you stood for and won.

[GENTLE] I'm afraid I took

a tumble in the park.

UA. I'm turning myself in.

[IZUKU]

Here's the preview!

Gentle's dreams.

La Brava's feelings.

The two of them always

put each other first.

With this bittersweet victory

still lingering on my mind,

I run at full speed toward UA

where my friends are waiting.

Because I want

to see them smiling.

Especially Eri! Now,

we've got a show to do!

Next time: "Let It Flow!

School Festival!"

I hope we can make

everyone happy.

Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
