04x23 - (D) Let It Flow! School Festival!

[bunniefuu]

[GENTLE]

UA, I'm turning myself in.

[LA BRAVA gasps]

[HOUND DOG]

For what?

[ECTOPLASM]

I've seen him before.

He's that villain

who's always posting

those foolish videos online.

[LA BRAVA gasps]

Gentle, no!

Who fought you?

No one.

[sniffs] You obviously had

some kinda fight around here.

I told you. I tripped

and fell. That's all.

It's just you two?

[GENTLE]

That's right.

[HOUND DOG]

Stop lying!

Someone else was here before!

I've caught the scent of

someone from our school.

[grunts]

[IZUKU panting]

[HOUND DOG] What did you

do with our student?

[IZUKU panting]

[GENTLE]

In my years as a scoundrel.

I committed many crimes.

But my greatest sin

was to kidnap

and brainwash the innocent

girl you see before you.

My actions were self-serving,

though I claimed

to be a gentleman.

For I am one who has lived

his entire adult life

thinking only of himself.

[GENTLE] I've lost my will

to fight. My dreams...

The only thing left of me

is the core of my being.

A heart that can feel,

that beats for someone else.

Izuku Midoriya.

I'm grateful that

you were the one

with whom I was able

to have my final row.

[GENTLE]

All the blame lies upon my head.

So, I implore you.

Pardon Manami Aiba.

[LA BRAVA]

Gentle!

I know you're doing

this for my sake!

But you can't!

Please. Don't!

I love you too much!

This isn't fair, Gentle.

You know I would never

go against your wishes

or cause you trouble,

but still.

[ECTOPLASM]

You're injured, too.

[HOUND DOG]

Did you fight this man?

I realized that he was

going to play a joke on UA.

So, yeah, we sparred.

[IZUKU]

But everything's fine now.

[sobbing]

[phone rings]

[SNIPE] Hound Dog.

Ectoplasm C. Come in.

[ECTOPLASM]

It's Snipe.

[SNIPE]

What's the situation?

[HOUND DOG]

Some wannabe streaming villain's

turned himself in.

[SNIPE]

Sorry, what?

[HOUND DOG]

I know. Doesn't make sense.

[SNIPE]

Huh?

[ECTOPLASM]

Relax. This is not an emergency.

Please continue

to do your rounds.

[HOUND DOG] You can tell us

more at the police station!

[GENTLE]

Izuku Midoriya.

I, too, once trained

to be a hero.

This identity, Gentle Criminal,

is the result of my failures.

It's for your dream. So what?

Nothing else matters

except that?

You'll take the happiness

away from a girl

who doesn't even know

how to smile yet?

[GENTLE]

I'm in no position to say this.

But I hope,

through your actions,

you reach those you

are hoping to reach.

[GENTLE]

I wish you a bright future.

[ECTOPLASM] All Might

was worried about you.

[gasps]

[ECTOPLASM]

Class A's performance

starts at ten, correct?

That's a little over

half an hour away.

But from here,

you can get to school

in about five minutes.

Uh, yeah, sorry, but I

dropped the bag of things

I left school to buy!

[ECTOPLASM]

Where is it? I'll assist you. line: %

[IZUKU] Gentle Criminal.

He was a difficult opponent. line: %

[AIZAWA]

Wait. Midoriya's not back yet?

All he had to do was buy rope!

What's taking so long?

[HAGAKURE]

I mean, for real!

[IZUKU]

I think I figured out why

I had a tough time facing him.

It wasn't just his strength.

It's because...

...I could've turned

out just like him.

[IZUKU]

Gentle and I have a lot

of the same thoughts

and feelings. line: %

[IZUKU] In the end,

what he cared about most line: %

was protecting the

person he loved.

As for me...

[gasps] Midoriya! There you are!

[IZUKU]

Aoyama! Sorry I'm so late!

Sacré bleu! You look terrible!

[IZUKU]

I fell down!

What a clumsy boy you are.

Here. Get changed.

Everyone is waiting!

Right. Thank you.

[ECTOPLASM]

Wait! Those scrapes!

And do you plan to

perform covered in dirt? line: %

Everyone will be worried about

you instead of the show. line: %

You have time to get healed up. line: %

Do that first.

[STUDENT A]

I wonder what Class -A's

performance will be like.

[STUDENT B] I'm kind of

excited to see it!

[STUDENT C]

Hmph.

Aizawa. Young Midoriya is back.

[AIZAWA]

I heard.

We shouldn't have

any delays, then.

[MIRIO]

Ah.

Deku is still going

to dance, isn't he?

Don't you worry.

He's gonna get down.

[HAGAKURE]

There're way more people here

than I thought there'd be!

[SATO] At least everyone sounds

like they're in a good mood.

[MINETA] Well, yeah, stupid,

it's a festival!

Is Deku still not back?

That slowpoke better put a fire

under his butt and get here now! line: %

[buzzer blares]

[AUDIENCE A]

This is it!

[AUDIENCE AA]

We're rooting for you guys!

[AUDIENCE B] Show us what

you've got, first years!

[AUDIENCE C]

Yaoyorozu!

[CROWD]

Yaoyorozu!

How's this? Can you see okay?

Yeah.

[IZUKU]

As for me...

I wanna see your smile!

[AIZAWA]

Hope they can pull this off.

[PRESENT MIC]

Don't tell me you're nervous!

I'm looking forward

to this banger.

[AIZAWA]

I don't care what you think.

Besides aren't you on patrol?

I'm only gonna watch,

like, one jam.

[AIZAWA] There are some

students who blame Class A

for the school's

current situation.

And they haven't tried to

hide how unhappy they are.

They're not here

to have a good time.

This isn't entertainment for

them. They wanna criticize.

Or even better,

see our class fail.

A song and dance

performance, huh?

Even if they don't

completely blow it,

they're really just

showing off, aren't they?

[JIRO'S DAD]

Kyoka.

[inhales]

[JIRO'S DAD]

You can do whatever you want.

Now! Start, dammit!

Let's show 'em what we've got!

Get ready, UA.

[JIRO]

Mom.

Dad.

I want to be a hero.

I'm not going to

become a musician.

I'm sorry.

[JIRO'S DAD]

Did you think we'd be upset?

C'mon, kid.

[JIRO]

It's just...

It was hard to decide.

Helping out others

and making them happy.

It just seems so cool.

I've always admired it.

But, you taught me music,

and I didn't wanna

waste that either.

Because I love music, too, so...

I didn't know what to do.

Kyoka.

You can do whatever you want.

Just remember this.

Your mom and I became musicians

'cause that's our great love.

But this stuff can take a while.

You have to pay attention

to how things make you feel.

Choosing a career

is a big decision.

And you have some good options!

Maybe you can help

others with your sound.

In that sense,

musician and heroes

aren't too different, right?

Yeah, I'll be!

[yells]

I am known as Romeo!

The Ghost of Azkaban

and a Parisian Count!

You will return Juliet to me!

Romeo.

You must have heard about your

father from your mentor Gandalf.

I bet he told you that man

was the king of Gondor.

But that is a lie.

[gasps]

I am your true father! Join me!

[MONOMA]

No!

[STUDENT C]

That felt a little full, right?

[STUDENT D]

I thought it was amazing!

[STUDENT AA] I don't know, I

just couldn't take it seriously.

[ALL MIGHT]

Running late isn't a crime,

but at least answer your phone.

I know.

I was just in such a hurry,

I kinda forgot it.

[ALL MIGHT]

Don't be surprised when you

check your missed calls.

I have a pretty good

idea of what happened

based on Ecto's report.

Don't think you made

the right call.

Things weren't that grizzly, so

the festival's still going on.

But this coulda been real bad.

You're a UA student with

a provisional hero license.

You should have relied

on us to handle him.

Your teachers wanna protect

this school just as much as you.

Yes, sir.

[HOUND DOG] Now put a smile

back on your face and b*at it.

[IZUKU]

Uh--

[HOUND DOG] The fest is on.

You better enjoy every minute.

[IZUKU]

Uh! Yes, sir!

Hound Dog, I really

appreciate you--

[HOUND DOG]

All Mi-- Grr!

[ECTOPLASM]

He only forgets human speech

when he's truly angry.

Perhaps I should step in.

[HOUND DOG howls]

[MIRIO]

Hey! Good work, buddy!

[ERI]

That was crazy!

At first when there was

a loud noise it was scary,

but then everyone was

jumping with the dance

and then there was a flash

and Deku, you went

away for a little bit.

And a guy started

flying in the air.

That's when it started

to get cold and I saw birds

and there was a spinning light

and a bunch of people said

"Wow!" and you know what I said?

"Wow!" too.

It was so fun!

Ah...

I'm glad you had such

a good time, Eri.

You should be working!

Slacking off now

after being late?

Take this ice!

Whoa! Oh, sorry! I've got it!

Mine, too, please!

[STUDENT E]

Class A!

[STUDENT BB] We had a

k*ller time at your show!

Yeah? Sweet! Thanks a lot!

[AGOYAMATO]

Hmph. I gotta say...

You did well.

We're sorry!

We just came to see

you guys screw up!

Please forgive us!

[KAMINARI]

They didn't have to apologize.

[KATSUKI]

We won.

I wonder if they're

some of the people

Mr. Aizawa said were

feeling bummed out.

If they were, our mission

was accomplished.

[TENYA] But surely there are

those who were unable to attend!

The festival is still young!

We will not rest

until every student--

[STUDENT E]

Dude, take a breather.

We heard about what

you were trying to do

when you started planning this.

You totally pulled it off.

[STUDENT E] We'll tell

the others all about it.

Yeah, seriously, it was insane.

[STUDENT F]

We'll make sure everyone knows

how much you put into

this, don't worry!

That's perfect, aw!

Thank you for your kindness!

Naw, screw that.

Go find the jerks who didn't

watch us and bring 'em here!

[OJIRO]

Hey. Calm down a little. Please.

[MINETA] Stop screwing around

and finish cleaning up the ice!

Yeah, sure! Mineta

seems pretty on edge.

[MINETA] Gotta hurry so

I can score goods seats.

I will not miss

the beauty pageant!

[AUDIENCE E]

Kendo!

[AUDIENCE F] You can take out

the competition with one punch!

[KENDO grunts]

[CROWD cheers]

[MC A] She stuns with a

martial arts demonstration

in a gorgeous dress!

Strength and beauty!

[exhales]

[MC A] A masterful

demonstration of skill!

[KENRANZAKI] Really?

Is that the best you can do?

I'm almost offended

you'd compete against me

with something so dull!

[MC A] It's the

support course third year

and beauty pageant

queen herself!

Prepare yourselves for

a stunning performance!

[ERI]

What kind of dance is she doing?

[MIRIO] Maybe I'm not the person

to ask about these things

'cause I'm totally lost.

The goal of beauty is to leave

your audience dazzled!

[KENRANZAKI laughs]

[MONOMA]

Oh, man. This third year.

Gotta admit. She's good.

Heard your play

thing went well.

Nice goin', man!

You too, bro.

[MC A] Next, another

third year. Nejire Hado!

[CROWD cheers]

Nejire!

You've got this.

People are animals.

Imagine we're puppies and

you'll feel more relaxed.

[YUYU] Nejire lost last

year because she tried

to be flashier than Kenranzaki.

Sure, nobody's gonna

out-dazzle that girl.

But Nejire has

her own strengths!

[HADO] Aw! It's Uraraka!

And Tsu, too!

[giggles]

[HADO] Togata and Eri!

Everyone looks so surprised.

This is so wild.

[AMAJIKI]

Seeing her up there.

It's really something else.

Hado looks like a

fairy or something.

[KENDO]

So pretty.

[MC A]

What a magical air dance!

And I think the audience agrees!

Please vote for one of

these eight contestants!

Results will be

announced at PM.

[MONOMA]

Kendo from Class B!

A vote for her is

a vote for the future!

[YOSETSU] You're gonna

get her disqualified!

Aw, yeah man! Tonight's

gonna be so great!

Class C's haunted

maze looks crazy!

--Wanna go?

--[ASHIDO] Obvi!

Yeah, no, I'll pass.

There's an obstacle course!

And crepes!

We've still got lots

to see, you guys!

Yay!

[IZUKU]

Thanks for coming today!

I loved it.

[IZUKU]

One more thing.

Got a surprise for ya!

A candy apple! From where!

I couldn't find any.

[IZUKU] Yeah, I didn't see

that anyone was gonna

be selling them,

so I bought ingredients

when I went out this morning.

It was easier to make

than I thought it'd be.

The only thing I couldn't get

at the store was food coloring,

but Sato had plenty.

[AIZAWA]

It's getting late.

But you two should be able

to see her again soon.

It's the best thing ever!

[laughs] I'll make them again.

So you have something

to look forward to!

[ERI]

I will!

[DETECTIVE A]

You're self-taught?

[LA BRAVA]

Yes.

[DETECTIVE A] I can't

believe it! What's your job?

La Brava.

[DETECTIVE A] Wouldn't

you rather use this talent

for the good of the world?

'Fraid not.

I only care about helping my

Gentle in any way that I can.

[GORILLA DETECTIVE] You know

it's fairly easy to test

whether or not someone

has been brainwashed.

So why don't you

stop lying to us?

It's obvious the girl in there

really has feelings for you.

And it's true you've failed

plenty, but as for the crimes

you did manage to commit,

both you and the girl--

I made certain that Aiba

was never directly involved.

You can't blame us

equally for my schemes.

[GORILLA DETECTIVE]

Hm. So, the feelings are mutual.

Well whaddaya know.

Former hero course

student. Dropout.

The world twisted you until

streaming videos of crime

seemed your only path.

[GENTLE] It was always

in service of my dream.

Even if I erred when

choosing my path.

[GORILLA DETECTIVE]

Then, it's a good thing

you turned yourself in today.

Some people will tell you that

there are no do-overs in life.

But that's for those

who don't want to change,

or are too impatient and

want immediate results.

[GENTLE sobbing]

Hey, you want some tea?

Earl Grey please.

[GORILLA DETECTIVE]

You'll get whatever we have.

[IZUKU]

Here's the preview!

The Japanese Hero

Billboard Chart!

It's a ranking of active

heroes based on the cases

they've resolved, their service

to society, how much citizens

support them, and other

factors all weighed together.

Now that All Might's retired,

the rankings are

fluctuating wildly.

And now, we have

a new number one!

Next time: "Japanese

Hero Billboard Chart."

The Wing Hero: Hawks flies

in to make an appearance!

Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
