[DOCTOR] Ah. The finale must be underway.
Keep your mouth shut.
[DOCTOR] It's fairly obvious.
There are suddenly fewer guards roaming the halls.
This day is a culmination of all my hard work
and meticulous planning.
[DOCTOR] I searched far and wide
for those who were born rotten.
Warped seeds that were worthy of becoming his new vessel.
[laughs]
[DABI] Some fires never go out.
Promise me, Dad!
Your next day off, come watch me at Sekoto Peak.
My fire's gotten super awesome!
You've gotta see!
I bet I can get to Shoto's level pretty soon.
No, even better, I'll be stronger than All Might!
Suck it up.
Don't be a baby.
Don't cry.
Dad, why didn't you come? You--
[gasps] The flames.
It's too hot!
They're burning me!
[DABI] Please, no. It hurts.
Make it stop. I don't wanna die.
I can't. Not now. I haven't--
I haven't shown him anything yet.
[DOCTOR] He was such a seed.
Anyone could see he had a certain derangement in his eyes.
No. That's not the complete picture.
From the very beginning...
[DOCTOR] ...he had everything.
[DABI] Where am I?
[DABI] I'm alive? That doesn't seem possible.
Ohmigosh, sleepyhead's awake!
[GIRL 146B] Mr. Sunny! Quick!
Sleeping beauty woke up! Come see!
Where am I? I don't--
[DABI] That can't be my voice, can it?
[GIRL 146A] This is our home, silly.
You've been asleep a while.
Let's see. Three years!
That's how long he said you've been napping for.
Mr. Sunny told me about you when he was showing me around.
I'm kinda new here myself.
[DABI] What? No. Three years?
That can't be real. I can't be alive.
I burned up at Sekoto Peak.
I felt it. So how?
I gotta get home!
You can't do that, sunny!
Why not?
[SUN-SUN] Because from now on, you live here
with these other bright, smiley kids!
Make sure you get along, cause they're your new family!
--I'm sure you'll feel-- --[DABI] You don't understand.
I have to go.
I have to find Dad.
He probably didn't come that day
because he was stuck doing hero work.
But that's okay.
I'm sure he's been really worried.
I did and said some terrible things before.
So I need to tell Mom I'm sorry.
The others, too.
Then I'll show Dad what I can do.
And he'll see. I'll be a hero one--
[ALL FOR ONE] You unfortunate child.
I don't think that's a possibility anymore.
You see, I'm afraid your charred body
was extremely difficult to repair.
The missing parts had to be patched up
with special regenerative tissue.
We're lucky you survived.
But your face is entirely different.
What are you talking about? How am I different?
What happened?
[ALL FOR ONE] Your Quirk suffered greatly
as a result of your injuries.
Your organs were severely damaged and your senses
are now dulled, including your sense of pain.
On top of that,
the trauma and recovery left your body weakened.
It will never be the same as it was before the fire.
I wish you'd awoken in good health.
But alas, our best efforts proved futile.
[DABI gasps]
[DABI sobs]
[ALL FOR ONE] Poor thing. It's difficult, isn't it?
But don't fret. If you stay with us, we might
be able restore your flames to their former glory.
So which is it? Will you try to rejoin your family,
or train your body here with us?
[DABI] Shut up.
[ALL FOR ONE] Hm?
I won't stay here.
There's only one person in this world I want as my teacher.
Who are you to think you have the right, huh?
I'll learn from my father!
Hey, calm down, son. We're your friends!
[DABI] Shut up! Back off! Don't you touch me!
[SUN-SUN yelps]
[DOCTOR] It was too late for us to bring him into the fold.
He was devoted to another.
Even the man who ruled over all that is couldn't
take advantage of the twisted obsession the boy
had with pleasing his father.
[DOCTOR] Our seeds needed to be fertilized with hatred.
They would grow to be vessels for the demon lord
should something happen to Tomura Shigaraki.
Dabi was to be one of those potential spares.
But he was far too defective.
How could you be so--
No, I don't believe your lies. You're trying to trick me.
All For One couldn't have been behind this.
He didn't plan for everything.
Take my words as a kind warning to be careful.
The truth is, we cannot comprehend
what that unstable fiend is capable of.
Need to go home. Have to tell my family I'm okay.
[DOCTOR] We left him to his own devices.
Why, you might ask?
Because Dabi's disfigured body shouldn't have lasted
more than a month after he woke.
But, of course, he proved to be a medical marvel.
Right now I'm going by Dabi.
[DOCTOR] You can't imagine how surprised I was
when the broker brought him to us.
Why did he return?
What's more, how was he still breathing?
I wanted to know Dabi's true motive
so I made arrangements for us to have a few moments alone.
[DABI] Ujiko. It was you, right?
You kept me alive.
Ah, so you figured it out. That pleases me.
And how have you managed to survive since then?
[DABI] I've seen your walking corpses.
So I've got a pretty good idea what you wanted me for.
Why you went through so much trouble.
I came back because this seemed like
the perfect place to hold my funeral.
[DOCTOR gasps]
[DOCTOR] One glance from him told me
everything I needed to know about his story.
His body was ready to embrace death.
The only thing keeping him among the living
was his bitter rage.
[DABI] You know, Shoto. I actually did go back once.
Though, none of you noticed me.
As usual.
'Course I had no reason to get my hopes up.
After all, I was showing up even weaker than before.
Still, I wanted him to look at me again.
I guess I...
I wanted to see what was different.
What my absence had done.
How my family coped.
[DABI] The scene I walked in on told me
everything I needed to know.
Nothing had changed in the three years I was gone.
In that moment I knew my family had forgotten about me.
I was a failure with no reason to live.
Did you know that when you go past your limits,
the world turns on its head?
Everything you've achieved goes up in smoke.
I didn't want to face him while I was still weak,
so after that, I was completely focused on my flames.
I felt no pain, even when my body festered
and charred bits peeled off.
In my downtime, I watched him.
Careful, Shoto. I don't like this.
You've been prepared to die this entire time.
[DABI] Whenever I saw him save an entire city,
or noticed he was gaining fame, my heart pounded in my chest.
Ever since I died and Dabi was born.
I knew what I had to do.
[DOCTOR] Heat is tricky.
It's an energy that every person emits
as they move throughout their daily lives.
All For One's desire to live forever meant
he had no use for Dabi's fire, thanks to the boy's
steady march toward the grave.
The demon lord had to abandon
the volatile flames of this monomaniac.
I'll burn all that he holds dear.
That's the reason I'm still alive.
His suffering will be proof that I existed!
I told you I'm not gonna let you do that.
Big brother!
[PRESENT MIC] Ultimate move: Flashfire Fist.
To pull it off, you have to dial your heat up as high
as you possibly can, store that energy,
and then finally let it rip.
Endeavor discovered this powerful technique
as a younger man.
During his quest for power and glory,
he mastered the move and learned his limitations.
His flames burned with intensity,
creating a heat mirage.
One that distorted his view of the world.
[DABI] Ha! This is weird.
That little bonding session kinda cheered me up.
Thanks for being such a good listener, little brother.
[TODOROKI] His heat's increasing at a faster rate.
And he's not hesitating at all.
[DABI] Now I'm feeling it.
You make good kindling, even if Dad isn't around.
This ends here. I'm the one who'll stop you!
I hope you haven't got the wrong idea.
I thought about you plenty in the years I was feeding my fire.
I managed to get a weak version of my flames back.
And thanks to my training, I knew how to keep pushing myself.
Good ol' Dad said my firepower was greater than his.
That encouraged me to keep at it.
With my senses dulled, I no longer had the same limits.
It wasn't long before I could copy him.
And his Flashfire Fist!
I bet you're a big All Might fan, huh, Shoto?
Here it comes!
Hell Spider!
[HEROES shouting]
[HERO 146A] I've seen this attack before.
[TENYA] That's Endeavor's move, but bigger and sloppier.
It's strange to think I have no idea
what kind of stuff Toya likes.
[TENYA] Todoroki!
[KIDO yells]
You ready, kid? We can't do this forever!
Absolutely.
[ONIMA] He's fast!
[KIDO] Was Hell Spider just a distraction?
[DABI] There's something I've been curious about, Shoto.
I want to know how pathetic you'd look.
What face did you wear when you cowered inside
the U.A. barrier with the evacuees?
Those scared sheep knew
you were Endeavor's son and Dabi's brother.
And you walked among them
even though you're a child of calamity.
I'd say that's a pretty shameless way to act
for someone who wants to be a hero, wouldn't you?
[KIDO] Shoto!
[BURNIN] Dabi's firepower outburns Endeavors!
But it's gonna tear his body to shreds.
You had every advantage. The best training.
An ideal body.
Yet you depend on others!
You're a spoiled little brat
who never bothered to reach his full potential!
I'm sure no one ever told you that to your face.
But families should be honest, right?
You are an aimless, half-baked puppet!
You will never amount to anything in this world!
Jetburn!
[TODOROKI] Yeah. Most of what you say is true.
I was a fool.
One who took far too many detours.
I doubted every decision I made.
[DABI] He managed to neutralize the heat?
[TODOROKI] I thought our father was the only one
you were focused on this whole time.
Since we're being honest, it's kind of nice to know
I was on your radar, too.
While I was training,
trying to catch up to my classmates,
I discovered something inside myself.
Flashfire.
I want to show you how I turned it into something better.
A move meant to stop you.
[ENDEAVOR] Shoto.
We should reconsider the team assignments.
Why, so you can face him instead of All For One?
You know that of the remaining heroes, you're the only person
able to put up a real fight against that tyrant.
Just like Midoriya has to face Shigaraki.
My abilities are the ones best suited to stop Toya.
Which is what I plan to do.
[ENDEAVOR] This is my duty.
No, it's one we share.
Our side has to do whatever we can to win this.
We can stop Toya and the others if we work together.
It's the only way.
Call me half-baked if you want.
But listen to me.
Our father was a madman!
Our family was a nightmare!
Even so, you're the only one of us who chose to burn people!
[IZUKU] Whoa, Todoroki.
They're making you fight against Dabi?
Everyone, make sure you're out of the bath in 30 minutes!
It's actually what I want to do.
You don't need to worry.
That said, I'm sure my dad will gripe about
not being able to keep his promise.
Maybe not getting to fight Dabi himself
is somehow part of Dad's punishment.
If that's the case, these are the right matchups.
Dabi's my family's cross to bear.
Besides, if I run away from this fight,
I'll never be the hero I want to be.
That's why this is so important.
Using my power this way is how I'll stop him.
[IZUKU] This is the new technique
you're trying to master.
It's obviously not your usual Flashfire Fist!
You've gotta give me details!
[OJIRO] Oh, right.
You were gone a while, so you don't know.
Poke his chest. It looks hot, but it's not.
See? My finger is totally cool.
This state's difficult to maintain,
so I can only count on it for short periods.
[KATSUKI] Which means I'm still the superior fighter.
Don't you forget that.
Heh.
It's like an upgraded version of Flashfire.
I manifest my right and left sides at the same time.
They converge over my heart.
Hot blood and cold blood then circulate through me,
putting body in a state of balance.
[IZUKU] Fire and ice working in harmony.
Wow. You've figured out a way to produce cold flames.
Dad sought out an Ice power that would regulate
the heat of a fire Quirk.
But I've chosen a different path.
This is the only way I can accept myself,
despite the real reason I was born into this world.
It's yours. Your Quirk, not his!
[TODOROKI] Midoriya.
Thanks for showing me the truth.
This is my Quirk.
No one else.
I won't let you destroy any more innocent lives.
[TODOROKI] Flashfire Fist.
Phosphor!
[TODOROKI] Icebound Crash. Coldflame's Pale Blade!
[TODOROKI] Focus your anger on me.
I can put up with your flames.
Give me everything you've got.
Maybe that'll help you cool your head!
[DABI groans]
[DABI] He's got a body that can withstand my inferno
and the power to chill my fire.
He's probably the most fitting opponent I'll ever face.
You go on and on,
trying to tell me what's right and what's wrong.
It just goes to show, we may share the same blood,
but we couldn't be more different.
[TODOROKI] It went out! I'll have to start again!
[DABI] In this limited superhuman society,
a warped rail will never be able to lay beside
a straight and narrow one.
You and I are proof of that.
We're on parallel tracks but our paths will never meet.
For both of our sakes, succumb to my fire and die!
[KIDO] End it, Shoto.
You Todorokis are one hell of a family.
[TODOROKI] This is so hot, even I'm getting burned.
Sorry guys.
I told ya, kid.
Don't waste your breath on niceties here.
At least let me thank you.
[TODOROKI] Being grateful isn't something I was taught.
[TODOROKI] There was so much I had to learn from my classmates.
My past is steeped in greed and blood.
[TODOROKI'S MOTHER] Just remember.
Stay true to yourself.
You are not a prisoner of your lineage.
It's okay to use your power to become who you want to be.
[TODOROKI] When I realized my shortcomings,
I felt like I'd stalled on my journey.
Like everyone else had gone ahead without me.
But, no.
They were right there waiting for me.
[TODOROKI] Class A doesn't leave anyone behind.
[TODOROKI] They were there by my side the whole time.
[MT. LADY] Your ultimate moves are like personal calling cards.
People will always remember you
if you show off your best assets.
[ENDEAVOR] Store up your power. Condense it.
And then fire.
[TODOROKI] Store it up.
[DABI screams]
[yells]
Our paths will cross. I'll force them to.
So please, stop this, brother.
Great Glacial Aegir!
[IZUKU] Here's the preview.
Todoroki managed to stop Dabi!
As the good news spreads among the heroes,
it gives us hope and inspires us to press on towards victory.
Meanwhile, over at the Gunga Villa, Endeavor and Hawks
are in a fight to the death against All For One
and his library of Quirks.
Next time, "Extras."
Endeavor's flames must overcome the past to ensure our future.
Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
