[SATO] I told you not
to get up! You could die!
[MINETA] Just stop!
You're the worst patient.
We're not supposed
to let you leave your room.
Shut up!
Make me fight you and I'll be
even more likely to drop dead.
Why do you have to be so
stubborn about everything, dude?
There's nothing you can
do to help right now.
Didn't you hear
a word Sero said?
[SERO] I'll tell you, okay,
but you gotta stay calm.
Todoroki's b*rned bad
and Mr. Aizawa has
some serious injuries,
but they'll both pull through.
Everyone else has regained
consciousness except...
[SERO] The doctors said
Midoriya hasn't shown
any signs of waking up.
[KATSUKI] That bastard.
If he dies, I'll k*ll him.
[ALL MIGHT]
Fear not, citizens.
[ALL MIGHT]
Hope has arrived.
Because I am here.
[gasps]
[ALL MIGHT laughs]
[ENDEAVOR]
Flashfire Fist.
[gasps]
Jetburn!
[ENDEAVOR]
Afraid you never stood a chance
against someone of my stature.
[CROWD cheers]
[HAWKS]
I saw heroes every day as a kid.
They were always giving
speeches to the cameras.
But they didn't seem real.
More like people
in another reality.
Characters plucked from dreams.
[TAKAMI] Keigo! I know
you snuck into town.
You think I'm stupid?
That I wouldn't find out?
Start fessin' up, dammit.
What were you doin' there?
Who'd you talk to?
Boy, if you sold me out...
My wings were all tingly.
I thought maybe something
bad was happening.
But then they
went back to normal.
I came straight home after that.
No one saw me, I swear.
Stop lyin' to me!
You speak to no one!
Don't even take a step outsi--
[TOMIE]
Hey. The TV is busted.
[TAKAMI]
Who the hell cares?
[TOMIE] Wait, you're not
leaving again, right?
[TAKAMI] Y'ever think
maybe our crap would work
if you found us some cash?
[HAWKS] Apparently, my father
once k*lled someone
over an absurdly
small amount of money.
[HAWKS] My mom let him
hide out with her.
Kept him fed and out of sight.
I was born pretty soon after.
[TAKAMI]
Move it!
How many times
do I hafta tell ya?
Don't turn your
back on me! Got it?
I'm sorry.
[TAKAMI] Shouldn't've relied
on Tomie's useless Quirk.
No, the real problem
is Tomie got knocked up.
If that brat had
never been born,
I'd still be free, g*dd*mn it.
[TOMIE]
Please just come back.
[HAWKS] My mother and father
were broken souls.
But I endured them.
Hoping I wouldn't
turn out the same way.
I figured if I kept my
head down, when I grew up,
I'd be free.
[TOMIE]
Baby. Your father got caught.
Huh?
[TOMIE]
What should we do, Keigo?
He stole a car to get
away, but it was slow,
and he got himself
arrested by Endeavor.
The fire guy?
[HAWKS] In that instant,
fiction became reality.
[HAWKS] A hero, someone
I had only seen on TV...
...was real. Part of my life.
They'll come.
We can't stay here.
They'll take us, too.
[HAWKS]
Paranoia took my mother.
She feared she'd be punished
for harboring my father,
so she took my hand and we
left the only home I knew.
Unfortunately, my mother was
completely unequipped
for survival.
The police. They'll help.
[HAWKS] I tried to make sure
we did things right.
Keigo. Do what you have to,
just get us money.
You're your daddy's son.
If you can't do this, I don't
know why you were born.
What's the point of all those
damn feathers, huh? Go!
[HAWKS] If I used
Fierce Wings, it'd be easy
to steal wallets
and purses. But...
I couldn't.
[COMMISSIONER A]
It's Tomie Takami, right?
And your son is named Keigo?
Your child is gifted, ma'am.
He could become
a great hero one day.
If you accept our proposal,
I can assure you
that will happen.
Plus, we'll provide total
support for you and your family.
You won't want for anything.
My family?
Does it look like
I have anybody else?
[COMMISSIONER A]
Right, well.
Accept our payout you give up
all connections to your son
and start a new life.
Of course, you can trust
that we'll take
impeccable care of him.
[COMMISSIONER A]
Keigo.
Today, you will say
goodbye to that name.
[COMMISSIONER B] You're going
to complete an exclusive program
that will turn you into
a special hero.
How's that sound? The training
will be tough, though.
Can you handle it?
[HAWKS]
Mm-hm.
Will I become a hero like him?
The kind who stops bad people?
Will I make people smile?
I mean, like he did
whenever he saved my life.
[BEST JEANIST]
Hawks? Hello?
[BEST JEANIST]
Oh, good.
Thought you d*ed
there for minute.
[BEST JEANIST]
We're getting close.
[SMARTPHONE VOICE A] Sorry
I got to nap and you didn't.
[BEST JEANIST]
Think nothing of it.
If they hadn't sewn you up
so well back at Central,
you'd still be wandering the
halls between life and death.
Their work is impressive.
If not for them,
we wouldn't've pulled off
that Nomu-inspired gambit.
[BEST JEANIST] The near-death
state they put me in
has taken a toll
on my body, though.
[SMARTPHONE VOICE A]
I'm sorry.
I'm the one who told the
safety commission to take
drastic measures because
the League wouldn't be fooled
by a cheap trick.
Especially if that crazy doctor
got his eyes on you.
It worked out in the end.
You looked like a corpse
when I brought you to Dabi.
He even had your
identity verified.
If it wasn't your real body,
we'd both be dead.
That madman believed
I k*lled you.
And then...
[SMARTPHONE VOICE A]
He suggested that we
preserve your body.
So they could use you whenever
the perfect time came.
For a while, you slept
in suspended animation,
floating in one of their
secret facilities.
I got a chance to sneak in
and revive you in time
for you to save the day.
[BEST JEANIST]
Hang on!
[SMARTPHONE VOICE A]
What was that?
[BEST JEANIST]
Some loose threads.
[CITIZENS yelling]
[GLUTTON GOD laughing] Time for
a food revolution, brothers!
Oh, yeah.
Glutton God and his g*ng are
taking over this whole district.
[BEST JEANIST]
Fiber On. Fiber Fire!
[BEST JEANIST]
You're finished, Glutton God!
[BEST JEANIST]
Excuse this flamboyant capture.
My body's still on the mend.
[CITIZEN A]
Thank you so much for saving us!
[CITIZEN AA]
Go Best Jeanist!
[CITIZEN B] That's the
number-three hero for ya!
[BEST JEANIST]
Where are the local authorities?
Not coming.
[CITIZEN A]
The police have their hands full
trying to chase down
that load of villains
who escaped from prison.
And the heroes,
they closed up shop
as soon as the public
started criticizing them.
Just vanished.
Because they're cowards.
Who needs 'em?
[BEST JEANIST]
I see.
Then... I'll send you
some of my own sidekicks.
[BEST JEANIST]
They're angry.
[HAWKS] Every day more and more
people stop believing
that the heroes are
looking out for them.
[BEST JEANIST]
Which one?
[SMARTPHONE VOICE A]
I'll show you.
I need to check something before
I recover and go public again.
[BEST JEANIST]
She skipped town?
[TOMIE]
Dear Keigo. Please forgive me.
These scary men came into
the house and threatened me.
Shouting that they wanted
to know about my family.
I ended up telling them
about you and your father.
I couldn't help it.
I feel so ashamed.
I don't want to cause
any more trouble,
so I'm leaving.
Please, take care of yourself.
I want you to know.
I am very, very proud of you.
Son.
[DABI]
Keigo Takami!
[SMARTPHONE VOICE A]
Dabi must've tracked her down.
I can't believe he
found out so much intel.
[SMARTPHONE VOICE A]
I figured if there was a leak,
it came from my mom.
[BEST JEANIST]
That's tough,
sometimes we don't
like the fit of our--
[SMARTPHONE VOICE A] No.
When I gave up the Takami name,
I gave up my relationship
with her, too.
That was fine by me,
but I abandoned her
instead of saving her.
Even though I wanted
to help people.
[HAWKS]
Will I make people smile?
I mean, like he did
when he saved my life.
[SMARTPHONE VOICE A]
This is my fault,
the result of my mistakes.
I actually feel
relieved, though.
As relieved as
I can be right now.
The safety commission
is essentially out of business.
And as a result, nobody's around
to tell me what to do.
Now there's nothing...
...that's tying me down.
[TOMIE]
Don't tell your father, okay?
[HAWKS] I'd been begging
to leave the house.
Eventually my mother relented
and took me shopping
to shut me up.
[TOMIE]
He's good enough, right?
All Might's too expensive.
I hope you're strong like
this guy when you grow up.
[HAWKS]
Little did I know.
Y'know, Jeanist.
[HAWKS] A person's true
nature comes to light
whenever they're cornered,
or whenever they get
a taste of real freedom.
That's why I think Bubaigawara
was a good guy.
[HAWKS]
He backed the wrong team, sure.
But at heart, he wanted
to help other people.
I strive to be like that.
What's the point of all
those damn feathers, huh?
[HAWKS]
Yes.
[HAWKS]
Yes.
[HAWKS]
I want to do what's right.
[HAWKS] Even if Dabi
told the truth about
the Todoroki family history,
everything's different now.
[BEST JEANIST]
So, what will you do?
[HAWKS]
Good question.
There are , small fires
I need to put out.
First off, I've got
to face my origin.
By helping Endeavor.
He's in trouble.
[HAWKS] Panic was the
worst in urban areas.
[HAWKS] It would've been
bad enough if the damage
was just from the raids, but...
Add to that the freed villains
and confirmation that
Nomu actually exist.
And people were
pushed over the edge.
[HAWKS] The Nomu had just been
rumors, like I told Endeavor.
Ever since one appeared
at UA High, stories circulated.
First-hand accounts
and sightings
spread across the country, but
no one knew what to believe.
Still, the stories
scared people.
Looking back, it's easy
to see that these rumors
were some of the first signs
of public unease.
Priming citizens
to expect the worst.
They watched as heroes
failed them repeatedly
and villains took control
of the streets overnight.
The strain was too much.
Something had to break.
[CITIZENS screaming]
Let's grab some food
and then hit the registers.
We can take whatever we want
in broad daylight.
No holding back anymore--
this is our world now!
[STORE OWNER A]
You punks'll pay!
Aw, you feelin' tough today,
old man-- A support item?
[ARMED CITIZEN A]
We don't need pros.
Yeah, from now on...
[ARMED CITIZENS]
...we protect ourselves!
[POLICE RADIO A] Eyewitnesses
in Shinjuku say the area
has been att*cked by
the Cider House g*ng.
Nearby heroes,
please provide assistance!
[WASH]
Wash!
[WASH gasps]
[YOTSUBASHI] The seeds
have already been sown.
[HAWKS] Yes, in some ways
this was inevitable.
[HAWKS] When people gave up
on the heroes and decided
to protect themselves,
they knew exactly
what products to turn to.
[WASH]
Wash!
[HAWKS] Armed civilians
without training in combat
against chaotic villains.
These fights often resulted in
horrifying collateral damage.
In the days following
the raid operation,
such incidents became
commonplace across the country.
[WASH]
Wash.
[CITIZEN C]
Where were you?
What took you so long?
This was our home. We were
minding our own business
when these guys
destroyed our lives.
Now you show up,
after the damage is done?
[CITIZEN D]
Thanks for nothin'!
[WASH]
I'll disinfect their wounds
and get them to the hospital!
[HAWKS] At the same time,
heroes wavered.
[YOROI MUSHA]
Considering our failures,
I have no choice
but to fall on my sword.
[HAWKS] Most were moderately
successful professionals.
Some were veterans who
coasted on reputations
from the old days, but couldn't
face this new reality.
[REPORTER D] So your solution
is to resign when we need help?
[REPORTER A]
You're responsible for this!
[HAWKS] The number-nine
hero. Yoroi Musha.
Retired.
[REPORTER B]
Why quit when we need you most?
[REPORTER C]
Dammit, man. I was your fan!
[HAWKS]
Many followed his example.
Heroes have begun
resigning in droves.
[HAWKS] For so long,
we took peace for granted.
And now, with
everything in turmoil,
we have to ask ourselves.
What does it mean to be a hero?
[HAWKS]
As the days pass,
how many of us will remain?
[HAWKS]
The anger.
The blame for every
tragedy and setback
was directed at a single,
shattered man.
[DOCTOR A] Shoto and the
others will recover eventually.
And somehow you also
managed to evade death.
Endeavor. Please know
I'm rooting for you.
[ENDEAVOR]
I can breathe on my own.
But my head feels foggy.
The anesthesia hasn't
worn off completely.
[ENDEAVOR]
I'm still alive.
Come and dance with me
in hell, won't you?
[ENDEAVOR]
This must've been Toya's plan.
He knew that I would
survive the fight.
[TODOROKI]
Snap out of it!
Please! We'll deal
with this later!
[ENDEAVOR]
I couldn't move.
[ENDEAVOR]
It was just like before.
My child was going
to die in front of me.
And I...
[ENDEAVOR]
I froze.
[ENDEAVOR] Jeanist showed
that Dabi was wrong
about some things, but the
truth about me is undeniable.
[DABI] See, apparently,
I was a failure to my father.
Before long, he gave up on me.
And then, I was cast aside.
[ENDEAVOR]
Everything I did in the past
has come back to
haunt me and others.
Even if I survived the fight...
[ENDEAVOR] ...the hero I was,
Endeavor, is dead.
I can't fight my own son.
[TODOROKI]
Uh.
Shoto!
Hi, there, Dad!
I'm glad you're up.
Now we can all check in
on each other.
[ENDEAVOR coughs]
Are you all okay?
Are you crying?
What the hell, Dad?
Sorry. For everything. Really.
I failed! And it's too late.
My regret, and my guilt, too.
Everything.
My heart is breaking.
[REI]
What's this about your heart?
Regret and guilt I understand.
In fact, we've felt it
much more than you have.
Rei? What are you doing here?
I came to talk to you.
About our family.
[REI]
And... about Toya.
[IZUKU]
Here's the preview.
The Todoroki family has gathered
in Endeavor's hospital room
to talk about Toya
and every terrible thing
that happened to him.
For Toya, this is a history
of hope and despair
that are intertwined.
For the rest of his family,
it's a story of how
a household was torn apart.
Next time,
"The Wrong Way
to Put Out a Fire."
Perhaps this is also the tale
of a family finding new life.
Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
