If Deku returned here, then what about the safety of all the evacuees?
I'll figure out a way to make them understand.
To prepare for the school festival,
we reinforced the U.A. Barrier for extra security but didn't end up using it,
so now's our chance to see its true worth.
It's fine.
All Might grew up in this school, too.
Bring him back... with your own hands!
In a world where there's no black or white
I cried in the depths of hatred
Not even allowed to stop, we just have to move
Forward beyond that
I impatiently acted rashly on my own
The fate that I'd carried until now
You have a hard time even walking
Is there still a way to save you?
When you feel like you're about to give up
I'll rush to wherever you are
We won't let go of any of our feelings either, any of them
Even if you say it's none of my business, I still want to be by your side
That's what it means to be a hero
I won't lose any of the voices that came together either, any of them
I'll get up again as many times as it takes
Let's go and put our lives on the line
My soul cries out in response to your feelings
I won't hesitate anymore, so let's go
To the ends of true worth
Principal Nezu, earlier, you mentioned the U.A. Barrier's true worth.
"Tenya Iida - Quirk: Engine"
We're here because we understand Midoriya's feelings.
In order to bring him back here, we would need adequate evidence
regarding the safety and peace of mind of those taking shelter here.
That's why we were planning on going with him--
Of course, this isn't just based on emotion.
"Pro Hero - Nezu - Quirk: High Specs"
Midoriya is even now a valuable contributor to the heroes' side.
It's risky to protect him in anything less than a state-of-the-art facility.
U.A. has been able to buy the country's latest defense technologies at wholesale.
It boasts defenses at the same level as Tartarus's.
But Shigaraki easily broke into Tartarus.
"Momo Yaoyorozu - Quirk: Creation"
Last year, U.A. was also broken into.
I also kept my eye on the threat of Shigaraki.
So when we reinforced the U.A. Barrier,
I also added my own personal improvements.
Is that even possible?
There was a huge fight about it.
Basically, if villains were trying to invade U.A. at this very minute,
no harm would come to the evacuees or the students,
and they would not even be able to get in.
Right now, the U.A. Barrier is not just a defensive wall.
U.A. can move!
The grounds have been divided into a grid,
and each part has its own driving mechanism.
In the event of an emergency, each section can go underground and become a shelter,
and the shelters can be moved on a linear maglev network
moving as required along various routes.
It's like a robot anime!
But if that system breaks down, it's all for nothing,
so underground near the system, there are 3,000-layer reinforced plates.
If those detect anything abnormal, the interception system activates.
The supports unlock,
and the defensive walls can also move independently
and can delay any kind of attack.
In the meantime, the shelters follow safe routes
to places that have security systems on par with U.A.'s,
like Shiketsu Academy, which increased its defenses after the imposter incident,
and other high schools with hero courses.
"Shiketsu"
Shiketsu?!
That's so far!
U.A. in the east, Shiketsu in the west...
Oh yeah, there was something like that...
That looks like a countermeasure
"Fumikage Tokoyami - Quirk: Dark Shadow"
against Shigaraki's Decay transmitting through objects,
but at the time of the school festival,
we didn't know about that ability yet, did we?
There wasn't any evidence for it. It was just my gut feeling.
That's why I paid for it myself!
That must've been more than a few hundred million!
"Denki Kaminari - Quirk: Electrification"
The principal has contributed much to Quirk morality education,
"Pro Hero - Endeavor - Quirk: Hellflame"
and he is revered around the world.
His efforts continue even now.
Lack of understanding... Intolerance...
They both occur when people who can't take that extra step to get closer to others
act or move and crowd together.
Taking that extra step is a hard path.
Anyway, it is reasonable and logical for him to be here.
You kids should just go give it your all.
Don't let that boy in here!
Shigaraki will come!
Wasn't U.A. supposed to guarantee our safety and peace of mind?!
Don't let him in!
Please leave!
Doesn't having One For All make him a Nomu?!
"Izuku Midoriya - Quirk: One For All"
Izuku!
"Inko Midoriya"
That's dangerous!
Hey, it's scary!
If you're gonna fight, do it somewhere else!
Are you trying to cover it up again like you did before?!
Yeah, are you?
We won't be tricked again!
"Hanta Sero - Quirk: Tape"
He couldn't convince them?
There were those who showed that they understood our thinking.
"Pro Hero - Thirteen - Quirk: Black Hole"
"Shigaraki's after a U.A. student?!"
But speculation leads to unease,
and we couldn't erase it all.
"Pro Hero - Present Mic - Quirk: Voice"
Everyone, calm down!
It must be hard for people to listen, especially when it comes from teachers.
"Pro Hero - Best Jeanist - Quirk: Fiber Master"
I'm the one who suggested it.
Jeany?
Jeanist!
We came here because we believed what you said!
Yes. As the principal explained,
this is the safest place right now,
and we are thinking of your lives first.
In order to make the first move,
our plan was to use Izuku Midoriya as bait to find the villains.
However, we were unable to cast a wide enough net to search,
and we had very little to show for it.
While Izuku Midoriya is a target of the villains,
he is also one of our most valuable assets.
To wear him down more than this could be fatal!
It's true that this isn't the best solution.
It's just the next best thing we can do.
We understand that there are those who feel uneasy about this,
but we wish you to let him rest in this safest of places.
In order for him to be ready to fight at any time,
we need to him stay as healthy and strong as possible.
Wh-What are you saying?
Just because you guys messed up...
In the first place, right now, Japan's become a lawless country.
And now you've messed up again,
so you're trying to shift the burden onto us.
That's what you're saying?!
What the hell?!
Yeah, what the hell?!
Yeah, yeah!
And you call yourselves heroes?!
Izuku...
Give us a break!
We just want to be able to sleep peacefully at night!
It's no good...
The unease is spreading.
It'll explode.
O...
Ochaco?!
D--Izuku Midoriya has a special power.
And we're saying that a guy like that shouldn't come here
just because he wants to rest!
No! He left this place because he didn't want to cause anyone trouble!
We're the ones who brought him back!
Uraraka...
His power is--um, special!
It's a power meant to defeat All For One!
That's why they're after him!
That's why he has to go!
He left, but do you know what he looks like now?
He's the one who most wants to do something about this situation,
and is walking down a path where he could be attacked at any time.
Will you please look at him?!
Even if someone has a special power,
that doesn't mean they're a special person!
Please leave her to me.
It's the boy who saved me...
There's a system in place to protect these guys,
"Katsuki Bakugo - Quirk: Explosion"
but they're still uneasy.
We'll clean up the messes you can't.
Taking that extra step is a hard path.
I think that once someone is able to take that extra step,
it will bring forth the one who will become the greatest hero and even surpass All Might.
"A Young Woman's Declaration"
I liked seeing people's happy faces.
My parents always looked like they were tired, and that pained me.
The first time I saw someone doing hero work,
my eyes went to the faces of those around me.
I liked seeing everyone's happy faces.
--He's a mess... --He looks weak...
So he was fighting...
Even after he saved me, he kept fighting...
We looked at him. So what?
Don't tell me you want us to get all beat up like that, too?
You want us to be covered in mud, too?!
Only the heroes will be covered in mud!
Just give us some time to wash off that mud and dirt!
"Tsuyu Asui - Quirk: Frog"
Ochaco...!
Midoriya, right now, Uraraka is fighting.
For the sake of everyone's smiles, including yours.
Uraraka...
Can I reassure you all right now?
Sorry, I can't.
Because we're also uneasy.
Because we're neighbors, just like you all.
Watching him desperately try to save people this whole time made me think...
When a hero is suffering...
When heroes are suffering...
The ones who will protect them are surely...
Ochaco, where are you looking?
The hero's over there!
Hey, Eel-Boy!
Thanks!
--Thanks! --Eel-Boy! Eel-Boy! Eel-Boy! Eel-Boy!
The ones who will protect them...
...are surely...
So please lend him your strength!
So that we can smile together in the future!
With all of your power--
Please, will you let him rest beside you?
Will you let him prepare?
Izuku Midoriya is trying to take on the burden of his power,
but he still has a lot to learn.
He's just a normal high schooler!
But--
Please...
...let this place...
...continue to be his hero academia!
Just one more step...
For those who can't take that extra step to get closer to others...
Wait--
Hey, which shoes do you want?
Those! Definitely those!
I want red shoes!
This is the story of how I became the greatest hero.
And...
...the story of how everyone became the greatest heroes.
"Ochaco Uraraka"
"Shoto Todoroki"
"Minoru Mineta - Quirk: Pop Off"
Midoriya...
What, Iida?!
It shouldn't be us right now.
Right?
Uraraka.
Mr. Deku!
Sorry!
"Kota Izumi - Quirk: Water Gun"
I... was too scared to move...!
Sorry! Sorry!
But--
That girl was trying so hard to talk,
and I thought I had to go!
I thought I had to be like you!
That's why I...
I came!
So you don't have to cry anymore! It's okay!
Ko... ta...
You were a student at U.A.?
Miss...
A number of shelters turned me away, saying they couldn't let heteromorphs in.
In the end, U.A. said it was okay.
But I'm lucky because that meant I could see you again.
Thanks for what you did back then, crybaby hero.
Before blaming him hysterically,
can't we listen to what he has to say?
It's not like that kid's planning to stay here permanently.
Right now, we're short on resources and personnel.
So this is the only place he can rest up without worrying too much, right?
That's what you heroes were trying to explain, right?
Yes.
He can't go to Shiketsu?
The facilities are the same level, right?
But then, the same thing would happen at Shiketsu...
You know, I didn't realize until things ended up like this.
I felt like I was in the audience, and the heroes were the performers on stage.
One day, an extraordinary hero named All Might showed us what heroes were like.
Everyone wanted to be like him! Everyone applauded him!
And then before we knew it, we had forgotten the soul behind the man.
But the stage has been taken away.
With failure upon failure, there's no hope for money or fame anymore.
Many of those who were called heroes have resigned.
In the midst of that, what are those who are left fighting for?
If we reject even those who are fighting now,
then what'll be left for us?
How will we be able to live as we did before?
I know it's tough.
But think about this calmly!
How long are we going to stay audience members?
Th-There were rumors about a young man in rags with multiple Quirks...
Some said he was stirring up the villains, and some said he was a true hero.
Answer this--
If you rest here,
will things go back to the way they were before?
I'll get it back.
Because everyone's here with me...
We'll get it all back.
"Pro Hero - Ectoplasm - Quirk: Clones"
Did you hear? Uravity's speech.
"Shoto Todoroki - Quirk: Half-Cold Half-Hot" "Pro Hero - Hawks - Quirk: Fierce Wings"
You should try going in.
It's fine. For now, at least.
In the end, we just made Deku suffer.
With no progress, we just made him take the roundabout way...
There is progress. Right here!
One For All is the crystallization of power spun together by people's hearts.
All Might connected to Midoriya.
Class A connected to Midoriya.
Uravity connected everyone to Midoriya.
And everyone--
If they're all able to think about "everyone" just a little more,
then that will bring about a bright future where everyone can't help but smile
and heroes have too much time on their hands.
Dad...
We're in this together.
Yeah.
I couldn't do it.
But your class did it for me,
Aizawa.
Please tell the class rep that he did a good job.
"Pro Hero - Shota Aizawa - Quirk: Erasure"
How's your leg?
I won't be able to jump like Mirko.
What about Kurogiri?
I'm trying to talk to him every day,
but unfortunately, there's been no progress.
After he responded to you and Mic calling out to him,
he was secretly transported to Central Hospital for restoration research.
The Nomu, Kurogiri.
Mirko crushed the copy of his Quirk.
If we hadn't been able to get Shirakumo's mind back at that time,
we wouldn't have strongholds anywhere.
It was fragile and faint,
but we were able to spin a thread that allowed us to turn the tables.
We're continuing with the countermeasures for Toga?
Yes.
We've deduced the amount of blood she needs to ingest and her transformation time limit.
Evacuees enter U.A. after being isolated for a certain period of time.
U.A. is a stronghold.
Now, it's time to try again.
Yes, of course.
Where are you going?
I'm going to check on those hero-hating groups that still refuse to evacuate.
"Pro Hero - All Might - Quirk: One For All"
Even if I try to stop you, you're going to go, right?
Then, even if you don't want me to, I will, too!
That's why...
You don't have to worry.
Wait a minute!
"Preview"
Here's the preview!
After returning to U.A.,
I made a new vow with my friends from Class A.
We swore to take back what we had lost.
That's right. We would all move together,
and get those smiles back.
Next time, "No Man Is an Island."
The heroes connect and spread out.
Go beyond!
"Next time: No Man Is an Island"
Plus Ultra!
