The heroes declined, and the villains flourished.
The odds of winning in a frontal assault were slim,
and it felt like we were attempting to reel in a delicate line of string.
That's why we worked out a plan, split up our opponents,
and tried to seize the advantage.
A powerful wind was raging.
A powerful wind.
At the Gunga Mountain Villa ruins, Toga's transformed Twice doubles aren't stopping!
Same goes for the Coffin in the Sky!
The doubles are weighing down the coffin, and its drive system output is dropping!
Dabi's thermal energy continues to rise!
Less than a hundred seconds until it goes critical!
Two contacts approaching the scene at high speed!
It's Ingenium and Shoto!
There's no time. Please hurry!
Gunga Mountain Villa ruins
What about Deku and Shigaraki?
They appear to still be in a deadlock!
Tsukauchi, sir! All For One is accelerating!
U.A. (Coffin in the Sky)
He's about to reach the estimated effective range of Sludge Warp!
At this rate, he'll manage to reach Shigaraki!
What about backup?
There's no one.
Even if there were still uninjured heroes around...
Tsukauchi.
All Might!
This is fine, Tsukauchi.
This was my fight in the first place.
How are you planning on fighting?
You're Quirkless, remember?!
I heard Shigaraki's hatred has affected you?
Then you can't ignore me, can you?
Why?
Because I am here!
I've got to show my face.
Armored All Might!
TOSHINORI YAGI: RISING ORIGIN
All Might...
In my entire life, you have been the toy that has gotten in the way the most
and the one I like toying with the most.
Trying to keep me here!
It's obvious what you're after.
Even though you already know what'll happen...
Why are you laughing?!
Hercules!
Red Riot!
He made it through?!
Hercules shields down by 66%.
This will not work again.
That's fine!
He's rushing madly ahead without dodging.
That way of fighting—
That only works if you have One For All!
Blackwhip!
Chargebolt!
He's keeping me from regenerating with the electrical current...
Ever since your last fight with my master,
you've always started with random long-range attacks!
To weaken your opponent before stealing their Quirk!
That way of fighting only works against someone who's got a Quirk!
In order to fight even a little with this suit and Hercules,
I thought of what I needed and had these designed for me.
When you defeated me, and I had no choice but to escape to the U.S.,
I made a friend there, and that's how I was able to get this!
I will throw everything that I've ever been given at you!
We've known each other for a long time!
You get it, right, friend?!
I have never once fought thinking that I was going to lose!
Wrap him up!
Cellophane!
Build up!
Sugarman!
Shoot Style...
Smash!
Man, this makes me depressed!
Here I am in my late 50's, beating up on this helpless young man!
In order to get One For All, you let an intense anger live inside of you.
I'll take advantage of that.
That's the only way we are able to fight now!
It is our fate!
The demon lord would be disgusted to hear about this!
You're getting beat up by someone Quirkless!
I'll make you so focused on me that you'll forget yourself!
Spring-ify plus...
Brawn Boost plus...
Air Cannon plus Rivet Stab plus Dark Ball...
plus Impure Beam!
That was a messy combination of attacks!
It's proof that my egging him on is working.
Keep talking!
Keep egging him on, Toshinori!
Utility Cape Auto-Guard: Tsukuyomi!
Cape damaged.
Left wrist bone and collarbone shattered.
Set movement assist to max!
You call this fighting?
You're mistaken, you used-up piece of trash!
Did you get a big head after putting on a trash bag?
Well?
It'll just break, and then you'll lose everything.
You aren't going beyond like that!
We think alike, friend!
It's not that I'm falling for your plan to stall.
It's that I've got so much leeway that I can pick up some trash, you know!
Stop trying to keep up appearances! It's pathetic!
Superacid Injection...
Pinky!
You just got rewound, and now you're eroding away?!
All Might!
You called me "trash," right?
I can't accept it.
A world where those who steal from others gain the most...
Where the sorrow of those stolen from turns to hatred...
This downward spiral...
And? What're you going to—
I want to make a world where everyone can smile and live together.
A symbol is necessary for that to happen.
What kind?
One of peace.
No matter how many buildings are built and rebuilt,
people still live in fear.
Their hearts are still covered in darkness.
So you want to show off your power?
Everyone already has their hands full with their immediate surroundings.
That's why I'll do it.
Since I'm Quirkless, I don't have a different job to do.
Ribs fractured. Contusions all over the body.
Breathing apparatus abnormal.
Even if I don't have a Quirk, can I become a hero?
I used to be young like that, too... back in the day.
The person called All Might could only live like that!
Did he get even younger?
I'm not sure if he's aware of it,
but I don't want to call attention to it and bring him back to his senses.
In order to get rid of the Pinky that I put into his body,
he had to hurt himself with the Quirks he used...
If that's the case,
then is the Rewind progressing faster the more damage he takes?
Just keep piling it on, Hercules!
I'm glad I can be useful to others!
You can do it!
Do your best!
Thrusters: Uravity and Ingenium! Full throttle!
Class A, lend me your strength!
Tentacole, in! Suction cup: Froppy!
This way, I'll increase my mobility and make tighter turns!
He'll get bored if all I do is charge at him.
Shoto.
Tailman.
Next time, I'll have him.
If I keep inflicting massive damage, and that shortens his lifespan further,
I'll go all in on that Quirk.
The problem is energy.
I won't get good results if I play it safe with output.
Don't let me down, Anima!
First you laugh like a loon, then you run and hide?
There he is.
I know what you're up to.
I don't need overblown power to twist that grinning face into one of anguish.
I'll kill you and conserve energy.
Climb!
You liar!
No, it's low-energy.
Your smile's gone.
At that point, you're just a gutless old man!
You're simply copying the power of the young,
while you nurse yourself along!
You sure you want to be on camera like this?
Everyone's watching!
As the Symbol of Peace becomes a symbol of helplessness, and meets his end!
The light of justice will go out!
You don't get it, friend!
People flicker.
Even if my light goes out,
someone will receive it, and they'll shine!
And in the illuminated darkness...
There's no need for light.
Tartarus Jailbreaker
Mass Murderer & Corpse Collector
About 300 meters northeast of where the split-up plan was carried out.
Of the thirty-two heroes who were there to deal with the remaining villains,
all but one have been incapacitated.
My seedlings grow only from flesh.
If the roots slowly grow into me,
I can't even use Adsorption, fool.
Give it all you've got, Aoyama.
This is the biggest flower I've ever made!
Once a flower blooms, pollen will give rise to more, one after the next,
and through their roots, they will become my hands and feet.
There's no way you can escape, traitor.
It will leak out without your belt, and what's more, your aim will be erratic.
You've been straining this whole time, but it will only help the flower grow.
A victim of circumstance, ever at the mercy of an ill-suited power?
What a disgraceful life, to put it plainly!
Here you are, Yuga!
Maman!
Good for you, Yuga!
That's why I said "Merci."
Did you say that?
Because I can go on remembering my disgraceful self,
I can try that much harder to keep up with their light.
I can want to shine from the bottom...
of my heart!
Relying on something you can't see will lead to your disgraceful death!
I've been waiting for that, hero!
Warp Refraction: Navel Laser!
People flicker.
Even if my light goes out,
someone will receive it, and they'll shine.
In that way, the darkness will be illuminated,
and my star will be able to twinkle again.
I don't feel like I'm going to lose, All For One!
Connection complete.
Commencing energy charge.
Target locked.
Here's a name that'll burn you!
Can't Stop Twinkling!
Battery reserves depleting.
Excessive strain on multiple condensers.
Cannot maintain bombardment.
Don't let up on him, or he'll crawl out!
I'll do what Star did in her final battle.
But I can't solidify a laser and apply continuous pressure with it!
That's why—
Sound Wave Vibration: Earphone Jack.
You'll want to get out of the laser's path,
but I'll make it as hard as possible!
I purged Tentacole, and escaped with full-throttle thrusters as the beam fired!
My armor is coated with Invisible Girl, a special optical resin,
so it can slightly lessen the laser's heat.
To set up this situation, I used Tailman to block that blow I took,
but my lower half is now out of commission.
Wanting to see my face kept the fool from aiming for my head!
It was a cheap trade-off!
Armor Morphing: Creaty!
This is all the power it will dish out.
Bind Bombs: Grape Juice!
Begone with you!
While my joy still surpasses my pain!
Hey, Grandma.
Who's this thin, dark guy?
Got me.
I don't keep up with them heroes.
What'll happen if this guy wins?
What'll happen if he loses?
It's happenin' in a far-off country anyhow.
No matter which one wins, won't mean a thing to us.
Oh, okay.
Battery reserves at zero.
Multiple condensers at overload.
Explosion imminent.
Hercules...
I told you.
You aren't going beyond by using tools.
He's glowing?
What are you, a little brat?!
You forgot your smile, friend.
Not a good look, All Might.
Lost your smile, lost your hope...
Crawling on the ground...
You're twisted by despair and agony,
and I'm gonna make a mess outta you!
Just like you did to me before!
I can't move?!
Blood...
runs red for everyone.
Who are you?
Go get him, All Might!
Villain in custody!
Hagakure?
Huh?
Stop looking!
Oui!
Being invisible is my whole identity!
Uh, sorry.
It hurts so badly, I couldn't react.
Nothing like this has ever happened, even when I used this power!
Wait, yes it has.
What were you thinking when you were in class?!
He risked death, and exceeded his capacity.
That's what made my Invisibility glitch.
Hey, Aoyama.
Your Quirk is improving.
Never mind that.
We have to hurry up and burn these plants and save everyone.
Like Fat was saying, even if the host falls,
the will to grow simply comes to a halt. It doesn't disappear.
You adjusted my light level, and burned the roots that had grown into me.
Okay, but...
is your stomach all right?
Today is my last day as a U.A. student.
Nothing's going to stop me.
PREVIEW
Here's the preview.
All Might is still in trouble thanks to All For One's overwhelming power.
The one who saved him is Stain, who was once called the Hero Killer.
No, that's not all.
There's still another helping hand for All Might.
Next time, "The End of an Era, And—"
With your childhood aspirations in your heart.
NEXT TIME
Go beyond!
Plus Ultra!
