Ryuko
At USJ and the training camp...
I led them to us.
Midoriya, I...
am a terrible villain.
That's not it, is it?
Take my hand, Aoyama.
Because you can still be a hero!
The current situation is that Aoyama
is the only one who may be able to trick All For One!
How?
Why?
Why would they do this for me...?
Even though I'm a terrible villain...?
Wait a minute, guys!
You're moving too fast.
A crime is a crime.
I don't want to say it, but you know...
you guys are the main victims here.
Can you still trust him?
That all happened in the past.
We weren't able to understand his feelings,
so it's partly our responsibility, as well.
That's why we want to take the hand of our classmate
who is crying in despair as his friend.
And for him to take our hands.
Because that's the only way
we can be equals again.
I went through a lot at the training camp, you know.
I'll give you five blasts of my Howitzer.
That's too hard to respond to, so stop it.
Yeah!
You went with what All For One said 'cause you thought you couldn't beat him, right?
But it's different now.
You told your parents you wanted to stop, right?
When we went to go stop Midoriya,
did anyone say anything bad about being Quirkless?
Did anyone hate the guy who was hiding something while holding back tears?
Back then, everyone said it, right?
To let us share the responsibility, too!
That we wouldn't let you go alone!
That unnecessary meddling was the essence of a hero!
Aoyama, it's not over yet!
Let's all get through this together!
Aoyama! / Aoyama! / Aoyama!
Wait a minute.
Sorry to cut in right now,
but first, we need to ask the Aoyamas to cooperate with our investigation.
All For One won't fall for any lies.
You heard them earlier--If they lie, they'll be punished.
I understand how you feel, but we need to calm down and--
Midoriya.
You said you would lead All For One to where we wanted him, right?
Did you have a concrete plan for that?
No, not yet...
That's what I thought. Jeez.
Detective Tsukauchi,
I bear responsibility for not catching this as their homeroom teacher.
However, I feel the same as the students.
Aizawa!
Aoyama, I still...
have no intention of expelling you.
As Class A's homeroom teacher, I have an idea.
An idea...?
Detective Tsukauchi, can you make arrangements so Aoyama and his parents
cannot hear what I'm about to say?
Yes, of course.
The plan I came up with is...
I see.
Each location will need to be inspected...
But it does seem like it could work!
Yes, it all depends on him, though...
We only have one week.
Instead of just sitting and waiting...
It could be worth trying, huh?
I'll bring this back to HQ to work out the details.
Please refrain from discussing this with anyone who was not present today.
Aoyama!
We should start getting ready.
Yeah.
First, I need to do something about my costume.
It's been worn to pieces.
Mine, too.
We need to continue the intense training
and improve our Quirks as much as we can.
Yeah.
Everyone...
Let's make sure we defeat them.
Yeah!
In order to prepare for the next battle
and make sure I'm completely ready...
There's a piece of equipment I need fixed.
Déjà vu.
Ouch...
Ow...
Oh my, it's been a while, hasn't it, Midoriya!
Oh dear, I'm sorry.
Did you need something, you two?
Danger Sense didn't react.
I must be tired today!
I mean, those were breasts!
Anyway, Hatsume--
We have come here today to ask you to repair our costumes.
Why don't you just ask the item agency like you usually do?
Well, right now the item agency--basically any kind of business--has come to a halt.
That's why we came to the support course...
Oh, really? No wonder!
Huh?
Don't tell me Hatsume isn't aware of anything that happened out there?
Hatsume!
Why do you always make things explode like that?
You two are here to get your costumes repaired, right?
Come in.
It looks different in here...
The principal's pet project--the U.A. Barrier.
I'm in charge of its development,
and I'm also keeping it running.
The whole support course is involved.
Is that right?
Mid-Gauntlets...
They use the latest in compression technology, right?
They're prototypes from overseas, so there's no stock anywhere.
I'd like you to fix them for me.
Are you in a hurry?
Yeah.
Can't do it then, sorry!
With this amount of damage, I would basically be remaking them from scratch,
but I don't have any of the condenium needed for the compression mechanism
so it's impossible right now!
I'm sorry!
You're walking away at an impossible speed!
Hatsume, what about my armor?
I can't do it without the specification documents!
Short and to the point!
Don't worry, we'll make it for you.
We're in the same class as Hatsume.
Thank you very much! I am in your debt!
It's fine, it's fine.
It's unexpected, though.
I thought a machinery maniac like Hatsume would definitely take this on herself.
Hatsume, what are you making?
They're flying? Wow.
Hatsume's also involved in powering up the U.A. Barrier.
She just keeps coming up with new mechanisms for when we need to evacuate.
I've said it before,
but her vitality and ideas are completely unique.
If you want to cool your legs, then why don't you run with your arms?
Even if it's a 100% now,
the next minute, it could become 90%.
Once I think up a baby, I have to raise it!
It's what I always say!
What she always says!
I see...
That's why she hasn't given a sidelong glance at what's happening outside
and is just immersed in the inventing she loves.
Hatsume really is amazing...
You're soft, Midoriya!
As soft as polyethylene.
Sorry, I don't get it...
I at least know that you heroes are in a pinch!
We can't fight.
That's why we're trying different things
to make sure you can protect as many as possible.
See? It's the same.
Inventing is the support course's "hero work"!
Hatsume--
It's impossible to make something exactly the same.
They're inferior to the Mid-Gauntlets,
but if you're okay with my babies, please use them.
They've even got gloves?!
Wow, did you make them with your left hand just now?
Iida, I couldn't accurately replicate your armor,
but if you'd like--
All right! Thanks!
We were just getting ready...
...to take their measurements.
Please tell this to the others in the hero course--
Let's win this!
Yeah. / Yeah.
Oh, that was fast, you two.
We just finished getting read--
Oh good, we made it.
Wouldn't their faces usually go back to normal right away?
I've heard about what happened with Class A.
But we can't waste another day.
Early detection of the Paranormal Liberation Front and the League of Villains
and getting rid of them in one clean sweep is still the best plan!
We can't abandon the quickest path to a decisive victory!
Hesitating and stopping in our tracks is playing right into their hands!
Aoyama... I wonder if he'll take our hands...
I believe in him.
Aoyama will definitely come back to us.
I hope it doesn't turn into a curse, though.
I think it'll be fine.
I'm sure he's looked hard
at what he wants to be more than anyone.
Let's switch gears!
Midoriya, Bakugo, and Todoroki--
We'll build teams around these three and spread out!

Meanwhile, around the same time...
Output level 100...
Nejire Flood!
Suneater, was anyone injured?
N-No... Nejire...
Thank you! Thank you!
The villains have starting throwing their weight around in the countryside, too,
so we rushed out here...
Don't worry, you're safe now.
We'll take you to Shiketsu High School.
It's a stronghold that rivals U.A.!
Thank you! Can you just let us see your face...?
No... don't... I can't...
Of course, we want to protect the evacuees,
but as people leave the cities,
we're getting a lot less intel about the villains...
It's rough.
Now that this has happened,
we won't be able to launch surprise attacks anymore.
We'll have to do the opposite, and that means both sides need to be infallible.
The real all-out war is about to begin!

a number of police stations have moved operations to adjoining spaces.

For Plan B--
I've summarized the important points we need for our second decisive battle.
Young Aoyama is currently awaiting his test results.
Because of Aoyama, our movements are now limited.
Everyone here has been deemed trustworthy based on various circumstantial evidence
and actions, so we are ready to move forward with this.
We'll have the main force of heroes, including Endeavor and Jeanist,
out in the field taking command.
Since this is an urgent but secret meeting,
we're playing it safe and keeping this to a small group.
I understand all that, but--
Wild Wild Pussycats!
It's sad Ryuko and the others couldn't be here, meow.
Sorry about that.
We don't suspect them or anything.
Meow.
Shigaraki and the others are using my Search for evil, meow.
I'll do my best to help.
Let me hear those "important points" you were talking about.
This is something we have to do whether it's Plan A or Plan B.
We have to split them up.
Based on the data from the fight with Star and Stripe,
Tomura Shigaraki is currently much more powerful than All For One.
As for All For One,
those of you who saw the battle at Camino should already know how strong he is.
Plus, in addition to their contact using radiowaves,
there's the shared consciousness they showed us in the attack on Tartarus,
but we don't know how much they actually share yet.
So if they come at us together, we cannot win.
Then why didn't they use that against Star?
He was probably trying to avoid her calling his name.
Since with New Order's rules, saying "All For One" would probably have worked.
For this second decisive battle,
we should keep them at least ten kilometers apart.
That's the minimum prerequisite for us to win.
Of course, the other side will be moving their pieces so that doesn't happen.
That's exactly right, Tsukauchi.
The fearsome fire that spread and burned everything up.
The threat we clearly experienced at the training camp and mountain villa.
Just having Dabi in the vanguard will stop us in our tracks.
So then, in order to separate All For One and Shigaraki,
we have to separate Dabi--
Not just Dabi.
Right. Everyone.
We need to separate the enemy's main forces
and crush each and every one of them.
In order to do that, we need to lure out the enemy!
Isn't that a little too optimistic?
If we could do that, we wouldn't be having a hard time.
Yes. That's why, in order to achieve these conditions, we need a plan.
Aoyama, huh?
He's still shaken...
A boy born Quirkless, being used his whole life...
I feel bad for him,
but we can't prioritize our own feelings over the world.
It doesn't change the fact that he abandoned society.
In my position, I need to be careful.
I want to believe...
in Young Aoyama.
And, I will believe...
in his homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa.
The results have come back, and we didn't find anything abnormal.
There was nothing wrong with his brain waves or nervous system, either.
So the Quirk that allowed him to make Lady Nagant blow up
must have been acquired after All Might defeated him.
Come to think of it, if he were able to plant something to make traitors explode,
then he wouldn't have needed to make an example of anyone by killing them
or give threats like "I'll kill you if you lie to me."
That's why All For One planted
a seed of fear in this boy and his parents.
Are you scared?
You won't make many friends who'd say all that in this lifetime.
...we want to take the hand of our classmate
who is crying in despair as his friend.
What are you afraid of?
All For One?
Yes...
And... I...
can't twinkle like them...
I'm scared of that, too.
The more they believe in me,
the less I can believe in myself.
Even if I could take their hands,
if All For One appears in front of me again...
I might do the same thing again.
That's... what I'm scared of...
That's why I want to give up...
To go somewhere where there's no light...
And wait for death...
They would probably take extenuating circumstances into consideration.
But what you did won't go away.
Aoyama, even when this fight is over, you may not be able to stay at U.A.
Those guys are your friends, so they were nice about it,
but I'm not like them.
I'll give it to you straight.
That fear planted inside him...
I'll rip it out if I have to.
Fight.
All you can do now is fight.
I know.
I know that we have to win.
I have to be a piece to help us win... so I can be equal...
I know this, but--
That's true.
And using you like this may make us no different from All For One.
But I won't let you give up like this and die
tormented by your actions.
Not as long as I am your hero course teacher,
and you're my student.
I still...
have no intention of expelling you.
I'm not going to teach any student to live a life feeling indebted to others.
Even if you're wretched and miserable,
go walk with your friends who held out their hands to you.
We'll protect you.
I can promise you this--
If you're with them, you'll be fine.
But, what can a lone criminal like me do?
There's no way he's not scared.
Anyone would be.
That's why...
We're not making you do this alone.
You U.A. students, and us teachers and pro heroes...
That path...
...is a path we'll all walk together.
