06x18 - (D) Izuku Midoriya and Tomura Shigaraki

[bunniefuu]

[ALL MIGHT]

I can feel it.

The vestige of me that

lives within One For All.

Inside you.

[ALL MIGHT]

Right now, you must be talking

with the previous wielders.

[IZUKU] What's going on?

What happened to everybody else?

My friends. My teachers.

Please. Let them be okay.

[BANJO]

We need to have ourselves a talk

before you wake up.

My apologies.

The timing's not ideal.

Fate has brought us here.

Oh, please.

It's just bad luck

this is happening now.

[EN] Banjo, you spoke

to him before, yes?

When he first used Blackwhip.

[IZUKU] These are the people

who had One For All before me.

They're in my dreams again.

[FIRST WIELDER] At first,

we could only talk to you

when we found cracks

in your consciousness.

But we're not limited

to those moments anymore.

The reason is related

to my power,

which you now hold.

About four months ago,

it suddenly began to

grow at a rapid pace.

As a result of

this acceleration,

the previous wielders,

the figures you see

in front of you now,

were able to take shape

and communicate with each other

inside of One For All.

When my brother

forcibly pulled us

into the battle earlier,

we gained even more freedom.

It's now far easier for us

to appear before you.

Don't you worry,

we'll still give you plenty a'

privacy if you know what I mean.

[IZUKU muffled grunting]

Oh, right. I forgot you don't

have a mouth in here.

[IZUKU]

Right. Back then...

[IZUKU yells]

[IZUKU] I wasn't able to do

much more than make noise.

Now it feels like my mouth's

starting to take shape.

[IZUKU muffled]

Dang! I can almost

understand what you're saying.

[SHINOMORI]

Allow me to explain.

[SHINOMORI]

My name's Hikage Shinomori.

and I was One For All's

fourth wielder.

During the recent battle,

you unintentionally tapped

into my Quirk and

used it on the field.

[IZUKU muffled]

Yeah!

[IZUKU]

According to All Might,

the fourth wielder's Quirk was

the ability to sense danger.

It was kind of

a shock to be honest.

[IZUKU muffled]

Strange that I didn't

sense you'd be

using Danger Sense

since it is my Quirk.

[IZUKU]

Makes a lot of "sense." Heh.

Number four's a weird one.

He got tired of everyday life,

so he started living in

seclusion like a hermit.

Mine was a terrible era.

The rest of society

was strange, not me.

Were you informed of how I d*ed

and how old I was at the time?

[IZUKU muffled]

[IZUKU] All Might didn't mention

specifics in his notes.

Actually. I'm pretty

sure he crossed out

the important details.

We discovered

I d*ed of old age.

[IZUKU]

But, he was so young!

I was as surprised as you.

Neither Banjo nor I had any way

of knowing how we d*ed.

We only found out because

Yagi looked into the matter.

What this fact

leads us to believe

is that One For All

can't be wielded safely

by an ordinary human being.

[SHINOMORI] I'm second only

to Yagi in terms of users

who lived with the

Quirk the longest.

For years I spent

my days training

and building up the

power as best I could.

Avoiding All For One.

I always knew I didn't

stand a chance

of defeating him myself.

So I figured the best

thing I could do

was improve the Quirk

for its next user.

But as time passed,

cracks began appearing

on my body.

I thought perhaps

I wasn't training enough

or that I'd contracted

some unknown disease.

That wasn't the case.

As Yagi researched,

he was able to track down

my medical records

and autopsy report.

That's when the truth

came to light.

The "natural causes"

that k*lled me

were due to the multiple

Quirks inside my body.

They drastically

shortened my lifespan.

[IZUKU muffled]

That's correct.

Which is exactly the reason

we needed to talk to you.

Yagi is fully aware

of what a burden it is

to carry One For All.

A burden that you'll

have to deal with.

We don't have a

proper sample size.

Most of us didn't

have the power long.

We d*ed in battle,

not of "old age."

So we asked,

what was the intrinsic

difference between

Yagi and Shinomori?

[IZUKU gasps]

[IZUKU]

All Might was Quirkless!

Yes. Yagi may still be alive,

but as he gathered information,

we took what he learned

through the piece of him

that exists inside

of One For All.

And then, after I

heard what my brother

had to say, I was certain.

According to what he said,

a person's consciousnesses is

etched into their Quirk factor.

So why is Yagi's vestige

here even though

he didn't have an

ability of his own?

We always thought

a piece of the user

ended up inside of One For All

because of the power

they were born with.

More precisely,

that the consciousness

of every wielder after me lived

on because their Quirk factors

were added to my One For All.

Yagi being the exception.

[FIRST WIELDER] With no Quirk

of his own, he's the only user

who gained a vestige through

One For All itself.

Think of one's ability

to hold a Quirk as a glass.

If it's not empty when

they inherit One For All,

it overflows, eating

away at your lifespan.

Yagi was able to use

One For All over the course

of years because his

vessel was empty at first.

My cultivated power

fit perfectly,

and it became his true Quirk.

By some twist of fate,

this ability that's passed

from person to person, could

only reach its true potential

when wielded by someone

born powerless.

[IZUKU muffled]

There is a caveat.

You could pass it on

to another Quirkless person,

but they're like an

endangered species,

few and far between these days.

It's not something we could've

known in the beginning.

We learned this over

generations of observation.

[FIRST WIELDER] It must have

been fate once again that

the two of you somehow became

back-to-back recipients.

If we'd been able to talk with

the other users sooner,

perhaps fewer people

might've suffered

over the years.

Ya get what this means, kid?

You might be the last person

who wields One For All.

[IZUKU muffled]

And now the real question.

Izuku.

Tell us.

Can you k*ll Tomura Shigaraki?

[NANA]

Tell us.

Can you k*ll Tomura Shigaraki?

[IZUKU gasps]

[NANA]

That's not a request.

I'm gauging your resolve.

When you saw that boy's face,

you thought he looked as though

he was asking

for help, didn't you?

We feel your emotions,

so we know what was ringing

through your head in that

moment of desperation.

[BANJO] The problem is,

the rest of us had a completely

different take on the situation.

We know All For One

was inside his head.

Which was causing

Shigaraki pain, yeah.

But in that moment, it didn't

seem like he wanted to be saved.

Even as he suffered

in front of us,

those terrible eyes held

nothing but hatred.

Because that's the person

All For One raised him to be.

My brother was incarcerated

during the fight.

I think his plan was probably

to possess Shigaraki

both physically and mentally.

So that he could

take One For All.

Me and En, my junior here.

We both ended up

facing All For One,

but we managed to keep him from

stealing the power from us.

Cause in order to make

One For All surrender,

you gotta come at it with

a passion that surpasses

the Quirk's incredible power.

No person can produce such

an overwhelming will alone.

Our best guess is

All For One's trying

to use Shigaraki's

hatred as a booster.

[BANJO] At the heart of

the Quirk inside of you

is a grit that refuses

to yield to that monster,

despite his strength.

[FIRST WIELDER]

We believe that One For All

is meant to destroy

All For One completely.

It looked like Yagi

had accomplished this.

But my brother is tenacious and

he's trying to make a comeback.

[NANA]

Izuku. I know it's not fair

to tell you this

after explaining

you can't abandon your power.

But Tomura Shigaraki

is my grandson.

I left my family

to fight All For One.

Abandoned my child.

And this is the result.

We're in a terrible situation.

It's disgraceful that I failed

to achieve my goal,

and now have to rely

on a -year-old.

However, if that monster

manages to fully awaken,

no one will be able to stop him.

You can't make him see reason

or offer him forgiveness.

Some people are simply

beyond redemption.

And I believe Tomura

is one of them.

So if you think he looked

like he wanted to be saved...

Ask yourself.

In the end, will you have the

resolve necessary to k*ll him?

[IZUKU muffled]

[IZUKU] When Shigaraki's

consciousness penetrated

One For All, we were so close.

I know how hard he

focuses on his dream.

Yet in the depths

of that hatred.

I could sense

a lost child crying.

I've fought a lot of people

since I received this power.

I had to, because they

wouldn't back down.

It was my only option.

The thing is,

I never found out why they

ended up becoming villains.

What caused all their anger.

If I had known, maybe things

would've been different.

Maybe I still would've

had to fight. Maybe not.

Shigaraki k*lled so

many innocent people.

He hurt those I care about.

But still.

One For All isn't a power

meant to do harm.

It's a power meant to save.

That's something I learned

from All Might.

[IZUKU]

It's not just me.

This thing you've cultivated

through blood, sweat, and tears

has encouraged countless people

to become better versions

of themselves over

the generations.

Even if it started as a way

to destroy your brother.

It's evolved into something else

thanks to what you've done.

One For All has taken on

another purpose in this world.

I don't know what I should

do next, that's true,

and I get that the

only way to stop him

might be to k*ll him, but...

I want to save that little kid.

[gasps]

And that's why

we'll follow your lead.

I'm so happy that my power

was passed on to you two.

[IZUKU]

M-My body!

[NANA] This was a test,

for which I apologize.

Gran Torino is alive.

When you wake up,

tell him I said hello.

[NANA]

Sorahiko.

We made a mistake

those many years ago.

Yet somehow,

we were still blessed

with the most amazing students.

You two better start

helping out.

You can't just ignore us.

We need your cooperation

to unleash

One For All's full potential.

[ALL MIGHT] I don't know

what you're saying,

but I can feel the conversation.

The predecessors are

sharing their stories.

The truth about One For All.

My master's regrets.

The exact details may be hazy.

But the information

is flowing through me.

You were once Quirkless.

And now look at you.

[knocking]

[SMARTPHONE VOICE A] It's

nice to meet you, All Might.

You're Hawks right?

[SMARTPHONE VOICE A]

Let's skip the intros

so I can get straight

to the important stuff.

Is Midoriya going to recover?

Yes. He'll pull through this.

He should be conscious soon.

But he's not the only

reason you're here.

[SMARTPHONE VOICE A] This is

about Midoriya and One For All.

[ALL MIGHT gasps]

[SMARTPHONE VOICE A]

A hero from the raid

heard something about

it on the radio.

Then mentioned it to reporters.

More and more people

are asking questions.

And Endeavor told us that,

as the battle progressed,

Shigaraki was targeting

Midoriya, a mere UA Student.

I'm trying to get

the full picture.

Because from now on, we're

not just fighting villains.

We're also battling

public sentiment.

[ALL MIGHT]

You must keep this secret

to ensure your

own wellbeing, true.

But also for the safety

of the world.

[ALL MIGHT] Things have

changed so much, so quickly.

And these two aren't

the types to back down.

We should talk

somewhere private.

I'll tell you everything.

[OCHACO] It's been three

days since the incident.

With every passing hour,

there's more panic.

But despite reports,

I don't think everyone

wants blame the pros.

They want to believe

heroes have integrity.

To feel their protectors

did nothing wrong.

People want to feel safe.

They need somebody

to put their faith in.

Dabi is indeed my oldest

son, Toya Todoroki.

I can't deny what

he spoke is the truth.

I stand before you to

apologize for my misdeeds.

[OCHACO] Endeavor talked

to the press at length

about his family's ugly past.

And asked the world

to forgive him.

[MAN A]

Oh, man.

That's the end

of his pro career.

What a terrible father.

Dude, he shoulda denied it.

I was rooting for the guy.

[REPORTER A] You're saying

that he didn't lie, but he did.

He's right,

Best Jeanist is alive,

which refutes Dabi's claims

that Hawks m*rder*d him.

Yeah. Get your

stories straight.

Best Jeanist was made

to look like he was dead

and that's how I

infiltrated their ranks.

But the rest of the awful

things Dabi mentioned

are correct for the most part.

My father's identity.

How I k*lled a desperate villain

who was running away.

That's all true.

I apologize for hiding

the truth about my origin.

I know now that

it was a mistake.

Regarding Jin Bubaigawara.

The League member

known as Twice.

I thought I had no other choice

but to keep him

out of the fight.

If he had activated his Quirk,

the damage would've been

unimaginably worse

than it already was.

I did want to bring him

in for his crimes.

But in the end, his concern

for his fellow League members

forced the issue.

I had to act.

I feel awful for

how things went down.

I just hope you'll believe me.

I've got a question.

In the chaos caused

by Gigantomachia,

my own mother was

seriously injured.

Do you really think apologizing

and saying you feel

bad fixes anything?

Do you have any idea

how many people

lost their homes?

Their livelihoods this week?

I don't think you understand

how much you screwed up.

It was the villains

who did this, sure,

but the only reason they

were able to wreak havoc

on such a scale is because

of your mistakes.

If we stood up here

crying and carrying on,

would that make

your mother better?

Huh? No of course it wouldn't!

But you could do

something besides talk!

Take care of the villains

on the streets!

Be a...

...a hero.

You make a good point.

As number one, that's how

I will atone for my sins.

[BEST JEANIST]

But right now,

there are fewer heroes

in the field.

We're no longer equipped

to protect so many citizens.

With that in mind,

we have patterned

a temporary solution.

After consulting

with government officials,

we'd like to announce that,

starting today, UA High

and other schools

with hero courses

will be designated

as emergency shelters.

There should be plenty

of space in these facilities

for anyone who is scared

or seeking protection.

Families of enrolled students

are already moving

into these buildings.

[REPORTER C]

You want us to leave our homes

with no idea when

we can go back?

We're looking toward the future.

Direct your blame and anger

at me, but let us help you.

Plenty of pros are still

risking their lives for you.

Again, I'll say, watch me.

[OCHACO] Our champions

are at a crossroads.

If a hero is someone people

know they can call on

when they need help, then the

heroes disappeared that day.

Even so.

There are those still

willing to fight.

[DABI]

Haven't had enough pain yet?

[OCHACO] When Endeavor was

asked about "One For All,"

he said he knew

nothing about it.

That way no one could be

mad at Deku or All Might.

[MINETA]

Guys, this is super bad!

Look! I had a letter

from Midoriya on my door!

Yeah, we know. Us, too.

[KIRISHIMA]

What is this?

[SHOJI]

All For One?

The villains are after him?

Doesn't make any sense!

Poor Midoriya.

[IZUKU]

Uraraka, thank you.

So much.

It's time for you and the rest

of our class to know everything.

So I'm writing letters

to try and explain.

My Quirk is a power passed

on to me from All Might.

It's a gift that Shigaraki and

All For One want to steal,

so they're coming after me.

The last thing I want to do

is put others in danger,

and it's dangerous

to be near me.

So I'm leaving UA.

Being in the hero course and

meeting everyone in Class A

has made me happier than

I could have ever imagined.

Thank you.

And goodbye.

You idiot.

[OCHACO] If heroes are those

who don't hesitate

to take the hardest path,

then who will be willing

to follow them when

they're suffering?

[OCHACO] In April,

Deku left our hero academy.

[IZUKU]

Looks like a huge villain.

[IZUKU]

Here's the preview!

It was tough, but I left UA High

and my friends from

Class A behind.

Sorry, everyone.

But I can't stay.

As the final successor of

One For All, it's up to me

to stop Shigaraki

and All For One.

And I don't want anyone

else getting hurt.

Next time, "Full Power!"

The final act in the

story of how I become

the greatest hero

is about to begin.

Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
