I'm the guy chasing a convenience-store robber!
The Crawler!
Leave that sort of thing to the police!
Chasing down a motorcycle's dangerous!
But I can't let him escape down a back street!
I'll chase him as far as I can until the police arrive!
Quirk: Longleg
Koichi!
Whoa!
Ow!
You okay, Koichi?
I think so.
You! You're a pretty brave boy.
But leave the dangerous work to the pros.
"Sparkle."
Oh, sure, sorry.
Thank you.
Um, what's your name?
What? You're telling me you don't know who I am?
That can't be!
I'm America's top-ranked hero,
Captain Celebrity!
Here's my autograph. Be sure to learn my name.
Uh, this happens to be an All Might hoodie.
Hey, it's all good.
My signature is worth a lot more.
Well, shouldn't the owner of a thing decide how much it's worth?
Nice joke! You got me with that one.
Besides, I mean, All Might?
If you ask me, that guy is all brawn, no style.
"Sparkle."
All right then, boy.
Don't play hero too much.
professional
a person engaged in a specified activity as a main occupation rather than as a pastime
He's flown to America's rescue time and time again!
The nation's top-ranked hero, a true symbol of American pride!
His name is Captain Celebrity!
With the Quirk of Flight, he soars coast to coast.
From east to west, and back again!
For ten consecutive years, he's ranked among America's top 10 heroes,
patrolling the skies!
The protector of life, dignity, freedom, and equality for all Americans!
His name is... Captain Celebrity!
ARRIVING ON A CHARTER FLIGHT FROM THE US CHRISTOPHER SKYLINE ARRIVES IN JAPAN
Captain Celebrity, also known as Christopher Skyline,
CAPTAIN CELEBRITY BEGINS WORKING IN TOKYO
has announced he's now going to begin working in Tokyo.
This major-league hero is from the USA— the birthplace of heroes.
What kind of stir will his arrival cause in Japan's hero world?
Oh, that's the guy who saved Koichi.
ARRIVING ON A CHARTER FLIGHT FROM THE US CHRISTOPHER SKYLINE ARRIVES IN JAPAN
This footage is from the year before last,
when he saved a passenger liner in distress off the New York coast.
Wow, that's plenty impressive!
He has lots of achievements, but also lots of issues.
They call him Captain "Catastrophe" Celebrity.
He's been through so many lawsuits and scandals.
He must have come to Japan for work
because he can't operate in his home country anymore.
No wonder I got such a nasty vibe from him.
It's rare to hear you badmouth someone.
I have a visceral dislike for people like him.
Well, people are free to choose what they don't like.
But what are you doing over there?
Stain removal. Because someone scribbled on my hoodie.
Run!
It's a giant supervillain!
Villain?! That thing's a monster!
Huh, Gigantification.
The Gigantification Quirk makes for a nice show,
but the bigger you are, the sooner the heroes show up.
And it's easy to figure out who you are.
That's surprisingly useless for my job.
Well, maybe I'll just get myself a sample later.
Good luck.
Everyone!
Right now, the monster's near District One!
Everyone! There's no immediate danger!
Please evacuate calmly!
No!
Masahiko's still at home!
What?!
Hey, boy, what's the situation?
Oh, Captain Celebrity!
Good timing!
It looks like there's a kid who didn't escape!
We've got to hurry and save him!
Would you mind waiting a little first?
Huh?!
The press hasn't gotten set up yet, and my staff's still prepping.
This is no time to care about that stuff!
Also, the police have yet to issue a request,
so I'm under no obligation to deploy.
Never mind!
I'll go myself!
As you wish.
C.C., C.C...
Captain Celebrity.
Oh, there it is. C.C. here.
We accepted a dispatch request from the Naruhata Police Station.
Also, we're linked up with the press.
You can team up with local heroes,
and staff on the ground have identified those in need of rescue.
I'm ready here too. Just give the word.
C.C. On your mark.
Get set.
Go!
It's showtime!
C.C.! He's so cool!
C.C.! He's so cute!
C.C.! He's so complete!
C.C.!
He's...
Captain Celebrity!
Hey! Masahiko!
Masahiko!
Masahiko's...
a dog!
Masahiko
W-Well, dog or not, life is precious!
There.
Now, let's get out of here, Masahiko!
Time for the big finish!
The giant supervillain is on the ropes,
and the Captain delivers the finishing blow!
Oh! The Captain has rescued someone from under the fallen villain!
Looks like a boy who didn't get away in time!
Swift and reliable!
And truly magnificent!
He even looks after his fans, as he gives the boy he rescued his autograph!
That's how an all-American hero gets the job done!
"Sparkle."
That's Captain Celebrity!
I heard while the Captain was fighting, his team saved about a hundred people in all.
And I was one of those hundred.
Well, yeah, that's true.
But it looks like nobody was seriously injured,
so it all worked out in the end.
Masahiko!
Thank you for saving Masahiko, The Cruller!
Pets aren't typically something we deal with.
You get the credit for saving that little dog, boy.
You're not too bad at this.
Oh, thanks.
By the way, there's one thing you could do for me.
Could you stop darting around underfoot in that lame outfit?
If that weird hoodie shows up on TV, it makes the entire scene look lame.
I mean, hey, video of me on the job is part of my image.
That's all I wanted to say.
I really don't like that guy.
DANGER
NO UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY
Looks like it'll collapse.
That monster mess earlier left it in bad shape.
Did everyone inside get out?
I heard they still don't know for sure.
There go more cracks!
Look out!
I'm the guy saving people from a building about to collapse!
The Crawler!
A lady and a sumo wrestler, both with injured legs!
Oh man, I can't carry them both at the same time!
Boy.
Captain Celebrity!
Looks like we're going to have to work together on this one.
Here they come!
Uh, wouldn't we usually do this the reverse way?
No, this way looks better.
I mean, I'm not into carrying dudes around.
It's not a question of what you're into!
Thanks, big time.
Woop!
Rescue complete!
Members of the press, get some pictures!
There he goes, hogging the glory again.
Thanks, big time.
Koichi.
Thanks, big time.
Next on the agenda, demolishing this dangerous building!
Might as well make it fun!
Huh?
Go! Go! C.C.!
Let's go! C.C.!
Go! Go! C.C.!
Woo! C.C.!
Yeah!
Yay!
Whoo!
Now he has cheerleaders.
Maybe this is how they do things in the US?
Go! Go!
Well, half the heroes in Japan are like entertainers too.
Go! Go!
What's the harm in punching up his hero appearances?
Go! Go!
This could give me ideas for my shows.
Whoo! C.C.!
But this sort of thing seems, I don't know. A bit shallow? Inappropriate?
And it's so flashy that I'm jealous.
The truth comes out.
The demolition finished safely! Good work, everyone!
That voice...
Makoto!
Each squad, do a head count and prepare to pull out.
Okay.
Yah!
I don't think I like Makoto cheering for that jerk.
Hmph. When you look closely, those outfits are indecent.
Prancing around in miniskirts like fools!
This is for show, so it's okay!
Aren't their outfits for show, too?
Oh! The Cruller and Pop☆Step!
Interview time!
Hey! Can I have a moment of your time?!
Great, she's spotted us!
How's it going, Makoto?
Oh. Hi, boss.
Please, call me Chris.
They're saying you're quite the outstanding leader.
I'm just a taskmaster.
Oh, no need for modesty!
You're a big help to me, too.
I'd like you and I to talk more intimately about your future with the agency.
In other words, I think you and I need to get to know each other better.
I'd be honored.
Let's have lunch together soon.
I'll make a reservation somewhere.
Why not make it a top-floor restaurant with a view?
Oh, that'd be lovely.
He's touching her shoulder! What a creep!
I see that Casanova's up to his old tricks again.
Master.
Captain "Catastrophe" Celebrity, also known as The Soaring Stallion.
Nearly all his lawsuits have had to do with women.
The biggest one being his estranged wife's demand for damages.
Even being stripped of all he owns hasn't taught him his lesson.
I guess now that his wife can't keep an eye on him, he's jumped right back in.
In any case, there's room for introspection.
A few days later
I can't just stand by and let Makoto fall prey to that guy!
As a matter of fact, you could just stand by.
Oh, hey, boy.
What's the big idea, shadowing one of the girls from my agency?
Huh?
Koichi! What's up?
Oh, well, I happened to spot you.
Just wondered what you were doing.
He's an underclassmen at my college.
Oh yeah? You're a student?
That's right! J-Just an ordinary college student.
Makoto's about to go out on a date with me.
It's a business meeting.
Let's be on our way!
Whoa!
Damn it!
Uh-oh.
Police on the scene. Another villain?
There's a bank robbery in progress nearby.
That doesn't matter at all.
What matters now is the time I'm spending with you.
Oh, now I'm getting a call.
Just reject it.
In fact, I'd like to carry you through the skies,
and take you to an even more wonderful place.
Hi, Pamela!
Yeah, I'm having lunch with Chris right now.
Wait... You're not talking to...?
Yup, your wife.
Why are you talking to my wife?!
We met online last week.
She's been asking for my advice as a friend.
She said, "If he's still messing around abroad, he hasn't learned his lesson.
I'll use it as evidence in the lawsuit."
By the way, she wants to know what "carry you through the skies" is all about.
P-Pardon me!
I think maybe I'll go deal with that robbery!
Bring me a getaway car!
Something eco-friendly and good for the environment!
Cloudy Sky Bank
The barricaded suspect has discharged his weapon!
It's dangerous, so step back! Step back!
I'm only here to shop. Now another incident?
Darn, I left my All Might hoodie at home.
The police are already here. There's nothing for us to do.
What difference would the hoodie make, anyway?
Here he comes!
It's Captain Celebrity!
Cloudy Sky Bank
Stay back, hero!
I've got hosta—
Chris!
C.C.!
Sorry!
Sorry, no girls right now.
Oh!
Boy, I'm glad you're here!
Could you come with me?!
Huh? Me?
Koichi!
Honey, did you see the photos I sent?
There may have been a little misunderstanding,
but that totally normal stuff I do is for the fans.
I think these look kind of forced, though.
It's not like hanging around with guys is part of his image.
Shoring up support with the male demographic...
Doing away with his scandalous image...
A new start in Japan...
That's it!
Boss! Now's your chance for a rebranding!
What?
Captain Celebrity has long been known as a playboy hero,
but it seems he's using his stint in Japan to change his corporate image.
That's right!
A POLICY SHIFT FOR CELEBRITY!? NO MORE MESSING AROUND! THIS'S WHAT TRUE STRENGTH IS ABOUT!
That's the way, Chris!
That's right, Chris!
Fly, fly!
Fly, Chris!
A man's man Yankee spirit
That's right, Chris!
Look up at the sky (hell yeah!)
Keep your feet on the ground (hell yeah!)
Woof, what happened with this guy?
Did someone misunderstand the term "yankee"?
Up in the noble sky (hell yeah!)
Who knows?
Well, foreign celebs do often come over here and end up getting weird.
Fly ever higher, that's right!
A POLICY SHIFT FOR CELEBRITY!? NO MORE MESSING AROUND! THIS'S WHAT TRUE STRENGTH IS ABOUT!
That's the way, Chris!
A few days later
Oh, hey, Dad. Why the sudden call?
Sorry, Koichi. See, your mother is...
Huh?! Mom's coming here to Tokyo?!
She's going to a class reunion and staying over at my place?
What?! She's already on the train?!
Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!
Why're you freaking out?
My mother is unbelievably strict!
She'll get mad if this place isn't just right!
"Get mad"? You're not a child.
You don't know my mother!
She was always really opposed to me coming to Tokyo.
"A pushover like you, in Tokyo?
You'll get tricked by scoundrels and dragged into some kind of crime."
That's what she said to me.
She was right, too.
That's why, if she thinks anything's wrong,
she'll make me drop out of school and go back out to the country.
Maybe.
Huh?
She and I have been catching up over the phone, though.
Let's see, what did I tell her?
"School's going fine."
"They value the job I do at work."
"I'm leading a fulfilling life."
What's so bad about that? It's more or less true.
"And I have a wonderful girlfriend."
My mother can't tolerate lying, but what do I do if she wants to meet her?
D-Don't look at me!
Why'd you tell such a stupid lie?
I think I must have gotten carried away.
This is the dumbest thing ever!
I'm leaving!
I'm here, Koichi!
Hi, Mom!
Long time no see.
For guests
Well, well. Looks like you're living properly.
Yes, ma'am.
Next, show me your girlfriend.
That sure didn't take long!
Oh no! Mom's coming over!
If I don't convince her I'm living a fulfilling Tokyo college life,
she'll force me to go back out to the country!
Next time, "Mom Descends!"
Huh? Introduce you to my girlfriend? You can't be serious!
