00:00The story began in the Chinese city of Chenjin when a glowing child was born.
00:04This was the first appearance of the strange abilities that later became known as quirks.
00:08After that, many people with these abilities were born, and the world became filled with superpowers,
00:13with 80% of the world's population having some sort of quirk.
00:17A new profession emerged, heroes.
00:19There was a licensed group of heroes used by the government to select individuals with strong and unique abilities to serve the community.
00:25However, in this era, there's a different kind of hero.
00:28This time, heroes are not chosen by anyone but act on their own, and each has their own definition of justice.
00:33This raises doubts about whether these people can even be called heroes in the first place.
00:38These are the guardians who aim to become true heroes, and this was the time when Midoriya entered high school.
00:43Next, we moved to a city where a giant monster was wreaking havoc.
00:47Some people were running away while others were watching.
00:49Then All Might appeared and reassured everyone, defeating the monster with a powerful blow,
00:54earning the crowd's admiration and carrying the monster away.
00:57A college student was watching and was amazed by All Might's strength.
01:00He realized he was late for class and hurriedly tried to leave, but bumped into someone who seemed to be a bully.
01:05The bully demanded an apology for what the student had done, and the student indeed apologized,
01:10which made others taunt him, asking where his pride was.
01:13The bully tried to hit the boy, but he used his quirk to evade just in time and then started to run, prompting them to chase him.
01:20This boy's quirk was sliding, which needed three points of his body to touch the ground for it to activate.
01:24We find out that his name is Koichi, and he is a college student.
01:28Some people praised his quirk, even those who had bullied him, but he continued on his way.
01:32Next, we see a girl singing in the city with an audience cheering her on.
01:36This girl, an independent artist named Popstep, continued her performance as Koichi went to watch her with the crowd.
01:42The audience was cheering her on fiercely.
01:44Koichi thought to himself that he hoped the police wouldn't notice this gathering,
01:48while also thinking that Popstep's singing was quite ordinary, not too special.
01:52However, it was her jumping and performance that made her shine, like a brilliant pearl.
01:57Then he remembered he was late for work and hurried there.
02:00On his way, he was reflecting on how people care about appearances and are easily impressed by what they see.
02:06While walking, he slipped and thought life wasn't fair.
02:09Upon arriving at work, his manager told him he was late and that part of his salary would be docked.
02:13Koichi was standing in the store when the same bullies from before entered, looking for trouble.
02:18This time, they brutally beat him up, and one of the bullies claimed his quirk was Spike, which caused severe pain.
02:24He said this while he and his friends mercilessly attacked Koichi.
02:27After it was over, Koichi headed home, showing signs of the beating he took and expressing frustration that the police should have done something.
02:34He was very angry, declaring that he had had enough and tonight he would do something about it, hinting at a plan.
02:39Later, Koichi put on a disguise and said he would unleash his quirk.
02:43He began to help people in different ways, even organize trash disposal.
02:46Some people recognized him and encouraged him, asking him to take their trash after he finished.
02:51Koichi felt happy with their words.
02:53After he finished, he was walking along and mentioned he was very thirsty when someone handed him water.
02:58To his shock, it was Popstep, the singer.
03:01He asked her what she was doing there, and she told him he was the one who goes around the city cleaning up trash and helping people.
03:06She tried to remember his name, calling him the Cockroach Man, which was one of the names used to bully him, making him angry.
03:12He was about to leave when she commented on his ragged disguise, saying it was supposed to be all mites.
03:18He replied that it was indeed all mites because he wanted to be like him and would do everything he could to save the world, stating that it was not ragged but rather a cool costume.
03:26She sarcastically said that his best effort was collecting trash, to which he replied that everyone does what they can.
03:32She continued with, okay Cockroach Man, and he snapped back with, my name is Nice Guy.
03:37He walked away, telling her to be careful at parties, so the police wouldn't catch her, and thanking her for the drink.
03:42His tone displeased her, making her angry.
03:45By accident, she struck the bullies who had beaten Koichi, and they then began to bully her too, calling her the famous girl who sings on the streets.
03:52They tried to remove her mask, intending to post her face online.
03:56During this, Koichi watched what was happening without reacting, simply saying, stop what you're doing guys.
04:01They told him not to interfere and to get lost with his stupid shirt.
04:04When he tried to speak again, their leader looked at him angrily, making him get nervous.
04:09He told them they were right and he should leave.
04:11As he walked away, he saw tears running down the girl's face and felt affected by it.
04:15He thought he had to do something.
04:17When he tried to confront the gang, one of them grabbed him and asked what he thought he was trying to do, you idiot, before throwing him away.
04:23Their leader approached him and said he hadn't recognized him at first, but now he did.
04:27No one asked you to f*** in, cockroach trying to be a hero, he said before hitting him and injuring his face.
04:33He told him, we won't stop at this, we will destroy you and your shop, and we'll also take out this girl.
04:38Then a strange person appeared on top of the building.
04:41Koichi heard the gang leader asking him why he was doing this.
04:44The response was, because you annoy me a lot.
04:46The girl was trying to escape and said she would call the police, but they didn't care and started bullying her.
04:51Koichi was devastated, and the gang member was about to take him out when the strange man jumped from the roof and landed on the ground.
04:57Shocking everyone, as it looked like they fell into the garbage.
05:00He said, were you talking about All Might?
05:02He won't show up, but I did.
05:04Then he stood up and said, it looks like my landing was embarrassing, but don't worry, I just flexed my muscles a bit to withstand this impact.
05:10The gang leader tried to talk to him, but the man delivered a crushing blow that sent him flying.
05:15The rest of the gang was frightened and asked him who he was and why he was doing this.
05:19He replied, I'll tell you, I'm called Cow Duster, and they call me the Garbage Avenger.
05:23Then he approached the rest of the gang and knocked them out too.
05:26After that, he pulled out one of the gang members' tongues and said, the color hasn't changed, it looks like he's not one of them.
05:32When he saw the other person's tongue, he said, you're not one of them either.
05:35It seemed he was looking for a certain gang.
05:37Then he called out to Koichi, who was terrified and kept saying he wasn't one of them.
05:41Cow Duster replied, boy, you have potential, and sometimes I need help.
05:45Join me, and I'll turn you into a hero.
05:47But Koichi, fearful, said, I'm not interested in that kind of stuff, and tried to leave.
05:52The man said, you're lying, because you're wearing a costume that looks like All Might's, and you're trying to help people.
05:58How can you say you don't want to be a hero?
05:59Koichi admitted, you're right, but I can't get a hero license with a lame quirk like mine.
06:04Cow Duster responded, what are you talking about?
06:06Strong quirks and licenses have nothing to do with real justice.
06:10He continued, what matters is when you face something dangerous and ask yourself if you're capable of facing it or not.
06:15That's the only question you need to answer.
06:17At that moment, Koichi realized this guy didn't have a hero license.
06:20But their conversation was cut short by a scream from Bob Stopp, who the gang leader had taken hostage.
06:25He told Cal Duster to stop with the nonsense he was saying.
06:29Cal Duster replied, don't think that taking a hostage will stop me from taking you down.
06:33The gang leader then said, I'm not taking her hostage.
06:36I'll use my quirk to disfigure her face.
06:38That's the only thing that will satisfy me.
06:40Koichi stood there in shock, thinking about Cal Duster's words when suddenly he charged at the gang leader and knocked him to the ground.
06:46Cal Duster seized the opportunity and delivered a powerful blow that knocked the gang leader away.
06:51After that, Cal Duster checked the gang leader's tongue as well and said, it doesn't match the criteria, but I'll look into their identities just in case.
06:58He then approached Koichi and said, I'll teach you everything about heroes.
07:02Nothing satisfies the soul like taking down villains.
07:05Koichi was shocked and didn't know what to say, but he thought to himself, I don't know if I should thank you or run away from you.
07:10But what I do know is that you're much more dangerous than this gang.
07:14They then went to Koichi's house, and Cal Duster started reading Koichi's files, which angered him.
07:18He told him, you shouldn't be snooping through my stuff.
07:21Cal Duster replied, don't worry about that.
07:23Right now you just need to call me master, Koichi said.
07:26I told you I won't become your disciple, and this is my home, you need to get out of here.
07:30But Cal Duster ignored him and started searching through his fridge, which also made Koichi angry.
07:35After that, we see the gang members walking after Cal Duster took them out.
07:38Their leader wanted revenge, but one of the gang members said, we need to stay away from them because this guy is dangerous.
07:44Then someone with a scar on his face stopped them and said, it seems you've been beaten badly, but I have just what you need.
07:49He had three tubes in his hand.
07:51After that, we see Cal Duster talking to Koichi, saying that he's looking for a new and dangerous drug spreading in the city called Trigger.
07:58This drug reduces mental strength, but boosts quirk power to the max.
08:01We see that the gang members used this drug, significantly increasing their strength.
08:06He said, at this rate, villains will be everywhere, and I can't ignore it, Koichi replied, but we shouldn't leave this to the police and heroes.
08:13Cal Duster told him that he couldn't rely on heroes and police in this matter, because the villains appearing through the trigger drug pop up suddenly among crowds, without any warning.
08:21So, the superheroes and the police will always be a step behind these criminals, and this is where we come in to deal with them and look at their tongues.
08:28Koichi asked, why their tongues?
08:31Cal Duster replied, because drug addicts using trigger drugs end up with dark tongues as a side effect.
08:36Koichi then asked, is that why you are looking at the tongues of these criminals?
08:40Cal Duster affirmed, yes, and anyone who has a dark tongue, I'll take care of right away.
08:45I'll also try to find out the source of this drug so I can eliminate the problem at its root.
08:49Koichi asked, are you going to hit anyone like that?
08:52Cal Duster said, yes, you have to take care of them before they take a dose of trigger.
08:56Koichi responded, I don't think anyone will just show you their tongue that easily.
09:00Cal Duster insisted, whoever we suspect, we'll deal with them right away.
09:03Koichi looked alarmed and said, are you joking?
09:06The scene quickly shifted to Cal Duster and Koichi chasing some criminals.
09:09It seemed like he wasn't joking at all.
09:11During their adventure, they met Bob Stepp, who informed them that they were looking for drug addicts.
09:16Bob thanked Cal Duster for what he did yesterday, and then asked Koichi, why are you even helping this guy?
09:21Koichi replied, if I let him do what he wants, he might end up hitting anyone who passes.
09:26Cal Duster angrily said, I only hit suspects, just like I did with the gang.
09:30Bob Stepp said, but that method is really random.
09:33You should use your brains and narrow down the search.
09:35Surely, many people have taken pictures of the villains.
09:38She was using her phone to look for some of them.
09:40At that point, Cal Duster stopped a man walking down the street and ordered him to stick out his tongue.
09:45Koichi tried to stop him from what he was doing, but accidentally,
09:49the man fell to the ground and some dolls fell out of his bag.
09:51Cal Duster said, an adult wandering around with children's dolls, that's definitely suspicious.
09:57The man then claimed he was working in the toy trade, and Koichi tried to defend him, but it was no use.
10:02Cal Duster grabbed the man, and was about to take him down, when suddenly,
10:05Teacher Aizawa appeared and stopped Cal Duster, saying, violence is not allowed.
10:10Teacher Aizawa then asked Cal Duster, are you one of those villains?
10:13Koichi and Bob Stepp were shocked to learn that Razorhead was an official hero,
10:17and that Cal Duster was instigating a fight with him.
10:20Koichi and Bob Stepp were afraid that Razorhead would think they were the bad guys,
10:23so they tried to say they had nothing to do with Cal Duster.
10:26After that, a fierce battle began between Cal Duster and Razorhead.
10:30Cal Duster attacked Razorhead, landing a hit, but it didn't affect Razorhead.
10:34Razorhead then countered by hitting Cal Duster, which knocked him back.
10:37Bob Stepp said, I think something's wrong, and Koichi remarked that it was a big fight.
10:41But Cal Duster didn't stop attacking and went for Razorhead again.
10:44Razorhead retaliated as well and struck Cal Duster again, but it had no effect on him.
10:49Cal Duster managed to grab Razorhead, but he broke free and flew high into the air.
10:53Still, Cal Duster didn't give up and attacked Razorhead once more.
10:57Razorhead and Cal Duster continued to fight, and eventually, a man came over.
11:01Bob Stepp remarked that this man seemed familiar from behind,
11:04and mentioned that when she was looking earlier, he appeared everywhere there were villains.
11:08She thought he might know something.
11:10Bob Stepp flew up to catch him and asked Koichi to chase him too.
11:13Koichi ran after him, shouting, Come here so I can check you out.
11:16While they were chasing the man, the villains came back to them,
11:19and one of the villains said it was time to settle last night's score.
11:22Then we switched to the fight between Cal Duster and Razorhead,
11:26where Cal Duster asked Razorhead, What's wrong?
11:28Are you feeling tired?
11:29Razorhead replied, I apologize to you.
11:32I was wrong, and there's nothing that makes me want to arrest you.
11:35He picked up his things from the ground, and told Cal Duster, I think you are a villain.
11:40Cal Duster responded that he hears that a lot.
11:42Razorhead said he was sorry again and started to leave.
11:45After that, Razorhead thought to himself, I think he's strong because the erasing power
11:49didn't affect him, but that doesn't make him less suspicious, and I should report him to the police.
11:54Then we switched to Koichi, who was running away from the villains.
11:57The knife man chasing him said, You won't be able to escape me this time,
12:00and jumped at him, but Koichi dodged his attack.
12:03When he started moving again, the fireman was waiting for him and said,
12:06I'm over here.
12:07But Cal Duster came from behind the fireman and landed a blow on him.
12:10After that, he threw a rock at the knife man and asked Koichi,
12:13Where's the girl?
12:14Koichi replied, She's chasing the office worker.
12:17They headed toward her, but the knife man tried to follow them.
12:20However, Razorhead appeared and restrained him, telling him he was a villain too.
12:24Then we switched to Bob Stepp, who was chasing the office worker.
12:27When she got close to catching him, the evil dragon appeared and hit her,
12:30causing her to crash into the office worker, which made him drop his bag.
12:34The office worker felt a deep sadness for his figures, and then opened one of his figures
12:38and injected himself.
12:40After that, he transformed into a giant and grabbed Bob Stepp.
12:43Then he grabbed the evil dragon and started moving them through the city,
12:46which frightened a lot of people.
12:48Then Kalidster appeared and hit the giant, but Kalidster fell to the ground because of
12:52the piece of the hole that had caused him to fly earlier.
12:55After that, the giant fell, causing Bob Stepp to slip from the giant's hands,
12:59and she almost fell to the ground.
13:00But Koichi rushed toward her, climbed the walls, and flew high, catching her in midair,
13:05allowing her to use her special jumping power.
13:08However, Koichi couldn't use his talent again, and nearly fell to the ground,
13:12but the monster tried to grab him.
13:13Koichi took advantage of the monster's arm, which slowed his descent.
13:17He threw himself onto a pile of garbage to avoid getting hurt.
13:20After that, the monster almost stepped on him, but Razorhead suddenly appeared and erased the
13:24giant's powers from the office worker, returning him to his normal state and said,
13:28erased his giant powers. After that, he shrank, and we will catch him.
13:32After that, the police arrested the villains, and Kalidster went home.
13:36But Razorhead came to him and asked if he needed help.
13:38Kalidster replied,
13:40I'm an important citizen, and I should help the heroes.
13:42Razorhead told him that the children's game they were playing would expose them to danger.
13:46Kalidster said they were doing things that the superheroes couldn't do,
13:50and told Razorhead that these captured villains could be dealt with before they did something wrong.
13:55Razorhead told him,
13:55Any assault towards someone who hasn't committed a crime will make you the criminal.
14:00Kalidster said,
14:01That logic is good.
14:02Isn't it true that we can only accuse someone after the act is done?
14:05Razorhead responded,
14:06So, it's easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission?
14:10Kalidster said,
14:11You have some flaws like other evil characters.
14:13Kalidster replied,
14:15I've heard that before.
14:16And then he left.
14:17We switched to Bobstep and Koichi, who asked Koichi how he was doing.
14:20He said he was fine but felt a little tired, but he should only interfere with what he knew,
14:24and that these battles were as if he were some kind of hero because he ended up falling and thought he might die.
14:30Bobstep told him that all of this was annoying, and said he should stay away from the small details.
14:35She wanted to thank him, but after this annoyance, she didn't do it.
14:38After that, Kalidster came over and told Koichi,
14:41I'll tell you why you fell.
14:42He told him to jump further than that, and it's all about the landing.
14:45He said,
14:45It's great that you managed to imitate me when landing on the garbage bags, but there's a lot more to learn.
14:50Koichi said to Kalidster,
14:52You told me I'm not your student.
14:53Kalidster replied,
14:54You called me teacher.
14:55Koichi said,
14:56That was a slip of the tongue, and saying teacher is heavy on the tongue.
15:00Kalidster said,
15:01That's another reason.
15:02What he says or feels is just the truth.
15:04He told him,
15:05Discover this,
15:06Hero.
15:06Koichi questioned,
15:07Isn't that a bit of a controlling argument?
15:09After that, Bobstep moved to a place where two superheroes were fighting each other,
15:13and she watched the fight while reporting to Koichi.
15:16Koichi recalled his past when Kalidster said he had something for him that he would like,
15:20and gave him this equipment,
15:21telling him that it was like riding bikes,
15:23and that there were also body armor to wear under his jacket,
15:26and then he could go as fast as he could.
15:28After that, he moved to the superheroes but failed to land well,
15:31which caused him to fall onto the garbage bags.
15:33He recalled Kalidster's words to him about needing to change his name.
15:36Koichi told them his name was The Crawler.
15:39The extraordinary beings asked him,
15:40Aren't you the nice good guy?
15:42Koichi replied,
15:43No, I'm the crawler.
15:44Then Koichi told them to stop fighting each other,
15:47but they didn't like what he said and aimed a punch at him.
15:49After that,
15:50Kalidster came to them and attacked them to hit them,
15:52but Koichi stopped him,
15:54saying it wasn't necessary.
15:55Kalidster told him that hitting is the quickest result for such people,
15:58and that it makes him feel better.
16:00Koichi said to him,
16:01You can't hit someone just for your feelings?
16:03Kalidster asked,
16:04Why not?
16:05After that,
16:05Bobstep jumped over to them and asked the extraordinary beings,
16:08Can I talk to you?
16:09This surprised the extraordinary ones,
16:11and they said they were her followers and watch all her episodes.
16:15She said,
16:15Hold on,
16:16let me sign for you.
16:17And while writing her signature,
16:18she said,
16:19These two behind me are not bad,
16:20but they're disrespectful.
16:21After that,
16:22they heard a scream that caught their attention.
16:24Then we moved to the monster on the other side,
16:26a rocky beast,
16:27claiming,
16:28No one can defeat me.
16:29It threw a punch at the building,
16:31destroying it,
16:32and a child fell from his stroller,
16:33almost hitting the ground,
16:35but Koichi moved quickly and saved the child.
16:37After that,
16:38Kalidster attacked the monster and aimed a punch at it,
16:40but the beast struck Kalidster back,
16:42knocking him to the ground.
16:44The monster then declared,
16:45No one can harm me anymore.
16:47After that,
16:47Koichi and Kalidster charged at the monster,
16:50and worked together to bring it down.
16:52Bobstep said,
16:52These heroes are trying to stop a widespread drug called trigger
16:55that causes people to turn evil,
16:57and they are volunteering in that effort.
16:59After the monster fell to the ground,
17:01Kalidster delivered some quick punches to it,
17:03which eliminated it.
17:04Kalidster told it,
17:05You were mistaken to think that your rush made armor was anything great.
17:08Bobstep told Kalidster,
17:10You always exaggerate.
17:11After the monster returned to its normal state,
17:13Kalidster tried to recognize it,
17:15but Koichi said,
17:16You punched it hard.
17:17We then moved to the child's mother,
17:19who thanked Bobstep.
17:20Bobstep replied,
17:21It's no problem,
17:22and joked with the child.
17:23After that,
17:24they restrained the evil man,
17:25and Kalidster asked Koichi to take a picture of the man's tongue.
17:29Bobstep noted that anyone who uses the trigger drug,
17:31ends up with a black tongue,
17:33and warned the extraordinary beings not to do that.
17:35Koichi said the police were coming,
17:37and Kalidster dashed away quickly,
17:39while Bobstep jumped high.
17:40The extraordinary beings asked Koichi,
17:42Who are you?
17:43Koichi replied,
17:44We are the superheroes,
17:45and he left as well.
17:46Later,
17:47the police arrived at the crime scene.
17:49The investigator stated,
17:50This villain has a black tongue,
17:52so I believe he used the trigger drug,
17:54but why is his face distorted?
17:55I think someone was with him during the fight.
17:57The investigator's assistant said,
17:59That's good,
18:00because it makes our job easier.
18:01The investigator replied,
18:03We have laws,
18:04and no one should break these laws,
18:05telling him,
18:06I believe there are unlicensed extraordinary beings involved in this,
18:09but that's a mistake they need to be aware of.
18:11Now we move to the hero's home,
18:13where Bobstep was reading the news,
18:14and mentioned that everyone was talking about today's fight.
18:17Koichi asked,
18:18What did they say about us?
18:19She replied,
18:20Not much,
18:21but it seems everyone is calling you the guy with the strong punch,
18:24and the crawler.
18:25Koichi headed to the university,
18:27thinking that even if he became a hero,
18:29he'd still have to pay the bills.
18:30He had to earn a living,
18:31and the time he spent juggling school,
18:33home,
18:34and work,
18:34felt like the most important period of his life.
18:37He slipped into an alley,
18:38used his quirk to hop up to the roof,
18:40climb through the window,
18:41and said he was home,
18:42adding that he usually lived alone.
18:44A stranger sitting at his table,
18:45eating his food and drinking his canned coffee,
18:48greeted him with a casual,
18:49Hey, make yourself at home,
18:50which shocked Koichi.
18:51Who is this guy drinking my stuff,
18:53eating my food,
18:54watching my TV?
18:55The man introduced himself,
18:57he was Knuckle Duster,
18:58Koichi's mentor.
18:59See?
19:00I'm not some sketchy guy,
19:01he said.
19:02Koichi muttered that he still wasn't convinced.
19:04He asked how Knuckle Duster got in when the door was locked.
19:07Through the window,
19:08Knuckle Duster replied.
19:09They looked over,
19:10yep,
19:10the window was broken.
19:11Koichi opened the door next,
19:12and found a girl rushing past him.
19:14She started doing her makeup,
19:16and told him she was Popstep.
19:17Hey Pop,
19:18Koichi said,
19:19adding that her civilian look was pretty plain.
19:21Popstep snapped,
19:22telling him not to say that again.
19:24Koichi reminded Knuckle Duster their patrol didn't start until night,
19:27right?
19:27Knuckle Duster said his day job had wrapped early,
19:30so he was free.
19:30Popstep said she had a gig,
19:32and needed to change,
19:33warning them not to peek.
19:34Koichi promised he wouldn't,
19:36and wondered when that curtain got put up.
19:38She flung Knuckle Duster's coat aside,
19:40claiming that spot was hers.
19:41Knuckle Duster pointed out the place was shared.
19:44Koichi added,
19:44Actually,
19:45it's my place,
19:46okay?
19:47Grabbing his bag,
19:48he said he was off to his part-time job.
19:50Knuckle Duster told him to do whatever he wanted.
19:52Popstep waved him off.
19:54Koichi grumbled to himself,
19:55this was his apartment in the first place.
19:57At work,
19:58Koichi wondered,
19:59what am I doing in a job like this?
20:01He daydreamed about better times,
20:02thinking his life should be better,
20:04and that he hadn't made a single friend since starting college.
20:07Meanwhile,
20:07Popstep was performing.
20:09The crowd loved her,
20:10so she amped up her singing.
20:11A young boy tried to push through for a handshake,
20:14but a man shoved him back,
20:15knocking him down,
20:16and told him to stay in line.
20:18Another man came over,
20:19saying he understood,
20:20but the kid still had to wait.
20:22A bespectacled guy added that if the boy barged in,
20:24he'd make Popstep cry.
20:26He should cheer from where he stood.
20:28Turn your burning feelings into light,
20:29let your love explode,
20:30he shouted,
20:31blasting a beam of light from his glasses.
20:33Popstep thanked him for the cool light show.
20:35The kid,
20:36furious,
20:37called them liars,
20:38told them to shut up,
20:39injected himself with something,
20:40transformed,
20:41and lunged at Popstep.
20:42Koichi had just finished work,
20:44and figured he had time for a break,
20:46when Popstep sprinted past,
20:48chased by a monster.
20:49She jumped across rooftops,
20:50but couldn't shake it.
20:51Knuckle Duster arrived and suggested a pincer attack.
20:54Popstep kept running,
20:55yelling at the monster to back off,
20:57because it was disgusting.
20:58Koichi managed to grab it.
20:59Knuckle Duster swung from the other side,
21:01but the blow missed.
21:02The slime covering the creature made Koichi lose his grip,
21:05and both heroes slipped and crashed.
21:07Popstep ducked into a narrow gap between buildings.
21:09The monster searched for her.
21:11Koichi called and told her it only wanted a handshake,
21:13it was a fan.
21:14Popstep re-emerged.
21:15The creature stuck out its hand.
21:17She shook it.
21:18The monster burst into tears,
21:19asked for a hug,
21:20wrapped around her,
21:21and even tried to kiss her.
21:23Koichi and Knuckle Duster dumped flour on them.
21:25Flour soaks up moisture now,
21:27we can cook this dried out snake.
21:28Knuckle Duster joked.
21:30They attacked,
21:30restrained the creature,
21:31and it reverted to human form.
21:33Koichi noted that trigger users end up naked,
21:36because their clothes rip.
21:37That's why you hit them before they change,
21:39Knuckle Duster said.
21:40Police sirens approached.
21:41Koichi said they were done for the night.
21:43Popstep insisted on a shower first.
21:45Back at Koichi's place,
21:47Popstep asked him to buy quality shampoos.
21:49Cheap stuff ruins hair.
21:50Knuckle Duster told Koichi the beer was gone.
21:53Koichi pointed out Knuckle Duster drank it all.
21:55Knuckle Duster just told him to buy more.
21:57Popstep told Knuckle Duster to stop wandering around half naked.
22:00He replied he hadn't gone past his curtain.
22:02She lectured him on manners and asked him to smoke outside so she wouldn't smell like cigarettes.
22:07Ever heard of an idol who reeks of smoke?
22:09He ignored her,
22:10making her even angrier.
22:11Koichi said he'd go hang up the laundry and headed to the roof.
22:14Elsewhere,
22:15Detectives Sukauchi and Tanuma discussed recent sudden villain cases.
22:19Each person had taken a drug containing trigger I-D-O.
22:22Tanuma noted trigger was a quirk booster not approved by the government,
22:26and was now flooding the Black Marketa dream drug that gives anyone hero-level power.
22:30But social order matters more than dreams.
22:32Sukauchi said almost every incident happened in a tight area near the station
22:36and the old downtown east of Naruhata.
22:38Tanuma observed that made finding the source easier.
22:41Sukauchi added that every transformed person said they got the trigger from a stranger
22:46maybe free samples of a new product.
22:48Tanuma scoffed at giving away such expensive drugs for nothing,
22:51and said figuring out the motive was key.
22:53He speculated it might be a political statement to hassle the authorities
22:57or an investment towards some larger goal.
22:59His imagination was running wild, so they needed to keep reality in focus.
23:03Back at Koichi's place, Koichi asked Popstep if she'd gotten a message.
23:07She had those two guys who'd been beside the transformed boy,
23:10said they'd met him at the show.
23:11Koichi asked if the boy had been released.
23:14Popstep didn't know but doubted he meant to hurt anyone.
23:16Someone probably tricked him into using the drug.
23:19She figured the guys assumed he could reveal who supplied it.
23:21Koichi said the boy could be a solid lead and suggested calling their mentor.
23:25Popstep told him to hold on if Knuckle Duster saw the kid again, he'd punch him.
23:30Koichi set the phone down and agreed to keep the old man out of it for now.
23:33Koichi and Popstep went out together.
23:35Koichi walked fast.
23:37Popstep asked him to slow so she could keep
23:39Patish was used to hopping around in those shoes.
23:41Fine, grab my arm, he said.
23:43They ran into a group of girls who recognized Popstep.
23:46One asked if she had another show today,
23:48said the glasses suited her better than an eye patch,
23:50and asked for a photo.
23:51Koichi snapped the picture.
23:53The girl then asked if Koichi was her boyfriend and if they were publicly announcing it.
23:57Popstep said it wasn't like that.
23:59No, that's totally wrong, Koichi added.
24:01Popstep, annoyed, asked why he denied it so fast.
24:04Koichi wondered why she was upset.
24:06She told the girl he was just her manager helping her out.
24:09The girl said goodbye.
24:10Koichi remarked that Popstep sure was popular.
24:12The bespectacled lightbeam guy appeared,
24:15introduced himself as Samazu,
24:16said it was good to see Popstep, and greeted Koichi.
24:19Popstep asked about his friend Namimaru.
24:22Samazu said Namimaru had gone home to pick up some gear with another guy and they were on their way.
24:26Samazu suggested finishing their talk at a nearby cafe.
24:29Popstep agreed but said walking in wearing this outfit might be awkward.
24:32Suddenly, Knuckle Duster turned up and asked what they were doing, startling Koichi.
24:36Koichi said they were just buying drinks.
24:38Knuckle Duster said they could sit there and drink if they wanted.
24:41Samazu whispered,
24:42Great, now the whole source of trouble is right here, what do we do?
24:45Popstep asked Koichi to come up with an excuse.
24:48Let's move on to the girl who took a photo with Bobstep.
24:51Her name was Hachisuka, and she was happy with the picture.
24:54Her friend told her she didn't know Hachisuka followed these kinds of things,
24:57and said Hachisuka was kind of weird.
24:59But then, suddenly, a bee appeared and flew right into Hachisuka's eye.
25:04When that happened, Hachisuka told her friends she was heading to her part-time job.
25:08Her friend was surprised, asking,
25:09You're going to work now?
25:10And another friend asked,
25:12Aren't you coming with us to karaoke?
25:14Hachisuka told them,
25:15Not this time, maybe next time, and left.
25:17After moving off on her own,
25:19Hachisuka introduced herself more,
25:21Saying she's a high school student and works part-time as a villain.
25:24Her special thing is that she's the queen bee,
25:26And she has a large swarm of bees that possess harmful chemicals.
25:29Her job is to use all of that to stir up trouble in the city.
25:32She released the bees on people in the city,
25:35Which caused the people to get injured,
25:36And turn into monsters that started attacking others.
25:39This ended up separating Taro from Namimar.
25:42Next, we go to the police officer,
25:44Who reports to Detective Tsukachi that a large group of evil monsters suddenly showed up all at once in the Naruhata shopping area.
25:51Detective Tsukachi says he's calling for an emergency deployment in that area immediately.
25:55Then we switch to Kodesh and Bob Stepp.
25:57Kaldster started running when he saw the dangerous bee flying above him.
26:01Bob Stepp told them about a message she got about a group of villains showing up, at least 10 of them.
26:05Kodesh said,
26:06That's impossible.
26:07Then they saw the hero, Ergot, who was the first one to arrive on the scene.
26:11After that, all the heroes showed up and attacked the villains, including a hero named Mahi.
26:16The heroes defeated all the villains.
26:18Bob Stepp said she thought the heroes had finished dealing with the problem.
26:21Kodesh then asked,
26:22So, where did the teacher go, and why was he in such a hurry?
26:25Bob Stepp said she had no idea.
26:27Next, we switch to Kaldster, who caught a dangerous bee,
26:30And then move on to Namimar, who was looking for Taro.
26:32Kaldster appeared behind Namimar, grabbed him,
26:35And told him he thought there was a suspicious person nearby who was using bees.
26:39Kaldster destroyed the bee, which caused Hachisuka to get hurt and start bleeding.
26:43Hachisuka said she doesn't like people who treat young girls badly.
26:47Taro was next to her and asked if she was alright.
26:49Hachisuka replied,
26:50Of course, I'm fine, and told Taro that he was really sweet.
26:53She held on to him and asked him to come with her.
26:56Taro said,
26:56But my friend is waiting for me.
26:58She told him,
26:59Aren't I your friend too?
27:00She then said,
27:01Let's go,
27:01And showed him her phone so he could see the photo with Bob Stepp.
27:04Now back to Kodesh's team, Namimar arrived and told them what happened to him, and that he had lost Taro.
27:10Kaldester threw a punch at one of the odd characters, who were members of a party of three that caused trouble for people in the city.
27:16After stopping them from their brutal actions, Kutish said,
27:19Their tongues aren't black, meaning they weren't involved with the trigger.
27:22But Kutish looked at Kaldester, and remembered the words of Namimar directed at Kaldester,
27:27About standing up against the bee users.
27:28After that, Kaldester took to the air, followed by Kutish and Bob Stepp.
27:33Next, we move to Kutish's roof as he trains with Kaldester.
27:36Kutish asked Kaldester if he was involved with the bee user.
27:39Kaldester delivered a strong punch to Kutish, leaving Bob Stepp astonished.
27:44But Kutish said,
27:45I don't think I'm cut out for hand-to-hand combat after all.
27:47Perhaps we shouldn't even waste time on this training, he said.
27:50Kaldester replied,
27:51You're right, and told him he'd take all the hits.
27:54He removed his punching gear and threw it at Kutish,
27:56asking him to find another way to handle things.
27:59After that, he delivered several blows to Kutish, knocking him to the ground.
28:03Bob Stepp approached Kutish to check on him,
28:06and told Kaldester to ease up because Kutish was very weak.
28:09Kutish noted that he realized late that Kaldester was holding back on him,
28:13saying if he hit him with full force, he would be dead.
28:15This also applies to the villains.
28:17He stops before killing them and seems to only add a little extra power.
28:21Bob Stepp responded that excessive force is still excessive force.
28:24Then, we shift to Hachisuka, who was on a call with her leader.
28:27She told him she had been using too much trigger and that she only had a limited amount left.
28:32What's the matter? We got data from him, didn't we? she asked.
28:35He replied that it's a matter of efficiency,
28:37and it strongly affects a person's mental state,
28:39impacting their physical abilities, and that features are no exception.
28:43Hachisuka paused to buy ice cream and recorded it,
28:45only for her leader to tell her that strong willpower is necessary to use a normal feature.
28:50Hachisuka asked him,
28:51What about the heroes?
28:52He confirmed it was true for the villains as well,
28:54and told her the people they were looking for had an explosive passion within their hearts,
28:59and were all ready to pull the trigger themselves.
29:01She found it annoying that those types of people were bothersome.
29:04Next, we returned to Hachisuka with one of her associates,
29:07who told her she had indeed been chosen to unleash her anger.
29:10He asked,
29:11What are you talking about, you fool?
29:13She replied that he seemed occupied with something else,
29:15and expected he could handle it.
29:17He angry, snapped,
29:18Don't mess with me.
29:19Hachisuka told him to release the anger inside him,
29:22and turn it into power.
29:23She injected him with trigger,
29:25transforming him into a monster.
29:27He swung a punch at Hachisuka,
29:29but she dodged it and moved up high,
29:31urging him to show his anger from above.
29:33Afterward, she told him to fight anyone no one sees but him.
29:36Then she jumped to the ground,
29:38jokingly saying,
29:39I'm kidding.
29:39The person fully transformed into a giant beast,
29:42and started wreaking havoc in the city.
29:44Kutish rushed over,
29:45and soon Bob Steep joined him,
29:47asking Kutish if they could deal with the situation.
29:49Then, the monster attacked Kutish,
29:52swinging a punch.
29:53Kutish managed to dodge and told Bob Steep
29:55to get the people out of the area
29:57while he kept it busy until the rest of the pros arrived.
29:59Bob Steep flew up high,
30:01informing people about the monster
30:02and that they needed to evacuate,
30:04leading to chaos as people fled.
30:06Meanwhile, the monster continued attacking Kutish,
30:09landing some blows,
30:10but Kutish was able to escape.
30:11When the beast tried to take down one of the city's residents,
30:14Kutish rushed in to save him,
30:16and asked the person if he was okay,
30:18urging him to run quickly.
30:19The monster got close to Kutish and almost caught him,
30:22but Kaldester intervened just in time,
30:24delivering a strike to the monster that pushed it away.
30:26However, the blow didn't phase the monster,
30:28which launched another attack on them.
30:30They managed to dodge it,
30:31and Kaldester told Kutish to harness his inner strength
30:34and focus it in his fist at the moment he attacks.
30:37Kutish said it was dangerous to get close
30:39and that they needed to contain it from a distance.
30:41Kaldester insisted that was unnecessary,
30:43claiming that punches attract punches.
30:45The monster attacked, landing several blows,
30:48but Kaldester dodged many and also countered with strikes.
30:51However, the monster gathered its power
30:53and swung at Kaldester, who evaded the hit
30:56and countered with a powerful blow at the same time,
30:58knocking the monster to the ground.
31:00Kaldester noted that this monster's attacks were fast and strong,
31:03putting a lot of force into its decisive blows.
31:06When it came at him with all that concentrated power,
31:08the rest of its body was weak,
31:10so facing it was easy, yet still very dangerous.
31:13Kaldester was bleeding,
31:14stating this monster was aggressive and massive,
31:17which made it a wicked enemy.
31:18When it came to villains,
31:19they either fought hard or went home.
31:21Next, we returned to Kutish's roof,
31:24where Kaldester was training with Kutish.
31:26Kaldester expressed that he'd been fighting
31:27too many weaklings lately,
31:29but it didn't satisfy him.
31:30His door was open to any dangerous
31:32and big scoundrels like the one before.
31:34He continued training,
31:35telling Kutish that many men like that didn't complain
31:38if you beat them to death.
31:39Kutish replied,
31:40I think they would complain.
31:41Kutish accidentally took a punch from Kaldester during training,
31:44and Kaldester apologized.
31:46Bob Steep then treated Kutish,
31:48who was happy to see Kaldester back to his best form.
31:50Bob Steep asked Kutish why he was happy he got hit.
31:53Are you an idiot?
31:54We shift to Hachisuka,
31:55who was also on the phone with her leader.
31:57She told him she had picked a strong man this time,
31:59but those people interfered again,
32:01especially this old man.
32:03He's just so annoying.
32:04The leader reassured her that their presence was beneficial,
32:07because it allowed them to gather combat data
32:09without interference from police or heroes.
32:11He mentioned he wanted to keep this situation intact.
32:14Hachisuka pointed out that they loved to catch them.
32:16The leader told her to gather the data,
32:18but not to overdo it,
32:19and that would show she was a good coordinator.
32:22Hachisuka asked,
32:23Is that my job?
32:24Then a person approached her and asked,
32:26Are you Hachisuka?
32:27She replied,
32:27You're very well built, sir.
32:29He said he didn't know she'd be this charming.
32:31She grabbed him and said,
32:32Let's go, enough with the introductions.
32:34The man replied,
32:35You're charging in, are you sure?
32:37She said she couldn't wait to see his wild side, sir.
32:40They walked together,
32:41and then we shift to a villain moving quickly through the city,
32:43being chased by the hero Angnam.
32:45Angnam exited his vehicle and sprinted after the villain trying to catch him.
32:49Just as he was getting close enough to grab him,
32:51the villain dodged and punched Angnam,
32:53causing him to fall to the ground and crash into the walls, damaging his armor.
32:57Angnam remarked,
32:58Good thing we had the airbags.
32:59We moved to Kutish,
33:01who is training in the morning.
33:02He mentioned that there's no one around at this early hour,
33:05so he can practice slipping and gliding as he likes.
33:08Then he saw someone else jogging and said there's another person training.
33:11He said he would overtake him,
33:12increased his speed,
33:13and passed the man.
33:14Looking at his hands,
33:15he said the real problem is the braking.
33:17He wondered if there's anything he could do,
33:19and suggested maybe adding spikes to some gloves.
33:22When he passed the man,
33:23the guy sped up and got closer to him,
33:25which startled Kutish.
33:26He tried to stop but nearly crashed into the walls,
33:29but the man helped him and saved him.
33:31After that,
33:31the man apologized to Kutish,
33:33saying he almost made him hit the wall.
33:35He asked him if he's a local student.
33:37Kutish replied,
33:38To some extent,
33:39and the man introduced himself as the turbo guy,
33:42Anginim,
33:42extending his hand for a handshake.
33:44Kutish was surprised and shook his hand,
33:46saying it was amazing and that he really admires him.
33:49Anginim thanked him and told him he was sliding well
33:52and asked how his ability worked.
33:53He inquired if anything came out of his feet or hands.
33:56Kutish said it's a kind of repulsive force.
33:58Anginim asked,
33:59Can you only move forward?
34:01Kutish replied,
34:02I can move anywhere,
34:03and started showing him his power.
34:05Anginim said it was really a good ability,
34:07but he wasn't great at sharp turns,
34:08and mentioned that his younger brother couldn't turn at all,
34:11and crashed into trees.
34:12Kutish admitted he also crashes into things when he moves fast,
34:16or rather,
34:16he doesn't have brakes,
34:17and usually stops using the sole of his shoe.
34:20However,
34:21if there's a lot of momentum,
34:22he loses control.
34:23Anginim said the problem might be in how he uses his ability.
34:27He asked,
34:27Can you go backward, right?
34:28Kutish said instead of seeing it as stopping,
34:31can't you compensate for your momentum by suddenly accelerating in the opposite direction?
34:35After that,
34:36Kutish did it and succeeded,
34:37then was really amazed,
34:38starting to repeat it over and over.
34:40He said,
34:41This issue is solved.
34:42Anginim replied,
34:43You still need to work on it,
34:44but it's a great advantage in high speed movement and tight maneuvers, right?
34:48Kutish said,
34:49But thinking about it,
34:50my ability to go fast doesn't mean much to me.
34:52Anginim told him no,
34:54speed is very important,
34:55and said when people are unlucky enough to fall into a catastrophe or a villainous attack,
35:00do you have any idea what they think?
35:01Kutish replied,
35:02What?
35:03Something like save me?
35:04Anginim said no,
35:05it's hurry up and save me,
35:07and told him that in life-threatening situations,
35:09everyone feels fear just like a lost child,
35:12and you need to run as fast as you can,
35:14grab them,
35:14and move them to safety because speed is the most important thing for a hero,
35:18and that's what he thinks.
35:19He asked Kutish,
35:21as a student,
35:22what he thinks about joining his organization after graduation to use his ability.
35:26Kutish said he doesn't have a license.
35:28Anginim replied that there's always a chance to get a license while working in the field as a support employee,
35:33since we have some abilities that we should use for the benefit of society, right?
35:37He told him he was building a team of heroes,
35:39and they also have focused abilities for employment.
35:42Then we face challenges using our collective strength,
35:45and that's how we do it.
35:46He handed him his ID card,
35:47mentioning he's in the Editan team.
35:49After that,
35:50he got ready to run again and told Kutish to contact him if he was interested.
35:53He left,
35:54and Kutish looked at Anginim's card and felt happy.
35:57After that,
35:57we shift back to the monster Anginim was chasing.
36:00Anginim was pursuing it,
36:01and the monster told him he was running faster than last time,
36:04so it seemed he had lightened his load.
36:06While chasing the monster,
36:07Anginim remembered what his assistants had said about this monster being very dangerous,
36:11and attacking while running at incredible speed.
36:14Then the monster told Anginim that he finally found his design to sacrifice himself for speed
36:18and risk his life to overcome it.
36:20But Anginim moved closer to the monster,
36:22preparing a trap for it,
36:24and threw himself onto a spongy support.
36:26Anginim's henchmen were waiting for him,
36:28and when Anginim suddenly stopped,
36:30he said to the monster,
36:31Now show me how you will stop.
36:33The monster planted its foot in the ground to stop,
36:35then suddenly spread its wings and flew into the air.
36:38Anginim realized it always escaped with this trick.
36:40He's not some street racer but more like a bat.
36:43He contacted one of his team,
36:44who informed him that the villain left the highway and was heading toward the old town.
36:48She told him the second team was ready for him.
36:50After that,
36:51the second team moved and started chasing the monster.
36:53The monster said,
36:54So you're a network, huh?
36:56You're just a bunch of insignificant losers.
36:58The monster then attacked the second team,
37:00and managed to escape from them as well.
37:02It almost got caught by one of the heroes from the second team,
37:05but the monster used its wings to fly away.
37:07One of the heroes in the second team said it was heading to Bay Street 4.
37:11Anginim replied,
37:12I'm on my way to you,
37:13and told them not to act recklessly.
37:15He almost got run over by a car,
37:17but nothing happened to him,
37:18and he continued chasing the monster.
37:20While running,
37:21he saw Kudish moving in the direction of the monster,
37:23and Kudish tripped the monster.
37:25Then Kaldaster directed a blow at the monster,
37:27leading to its defeat.
37:28When Anginim reached it,
37:29the monster was bound,
37:31which surprised him.
37:32Kaldaster,
37:33Kudish,
37:33and Bob were perched on a roof nearby Anginim.
37:36Kudish told him the lighting was very poor,
37:38and many old buildings made it difficult to catch the villains.
37:41Kaldaster told him that once you manage to predict how the villain will escape and stop him,
37:46you need to know the terrain.
37:47Kudish revealed himself to Anginim and said they were the happy people helping the defenders of justice.
37:52They walked away and one of Anginim's workers asked if they should chase those strangers.
37:56Anginim replied,
37:57No,
37:58let them go.
37:59We've done enough for one day.
38:00Then we shift back to Kudish,
38:02who is exercising.
38:03Anginim approached him from behind and thanked him for that day.
38:06Kudish replied,
38:07You startled me.
38:08Anginim asked him,
38:09Are you that guy?
38:10Kudish said,
38:11No,
38:11I'm just an unknown jogger.
38:12Anginim said if you meet that guy,
38:14tell him he's running well and also asked if it was possible to get back the card he gave him,
38:19which annoyed Kudish.
38:20Anginim asked Kudish if he remembered how he talked about the suitable abilities for the job,
38:25and that if he found the right profession for him, he would respect that.
38:28As a professional, this is the best advice he could give him,
38:31and it might be rude to talk about work with a fellow runner like him.
38:34Kudish took out the card and handed it to Anginim, saying,
38:37Anginim, you're very frustrating.
38:39He apologized and suggested they try to be cheerful, and they ran together again.
38:44Kudish had an appointment with his new friends, and they wanted to drink tea.
38:47Kudish told them his house was nearby and that he could serve them tea at his place.
38:52Afterward, they moved to his house, but the building looked extremely scary from the outside,
38:56which made his friends feel afraid.
38:58Kudish grabbed one of his female friends and asked her to come with him,
39:01assuring them he would serve tea and that they shouldn't worry.
39:04The next day at the university, everyone started talking about Kudish,
39:08claiming he tried to kidnap the girl inside an abandoned building.
39:11People began warning each other and grew fearful of him.
39:14Later, Kudish returned to his house alone and remarked how spacious it was,
39:18saying it was the first time he had felt this way.
39:20Then, Popstep and Caldester appeared in his life again.
39:23As usual, they argued about Caldester's smoking.
39:26Popstep told Caldester she had warned him multiple times not to smoke in the room.
39:30Caldester replied it wasn't a big deal and told her not to worry.
39:33Popstep said it was shortening her lifespan.
39:35Kudish thought to himself that this party never ended, but this suit made everything bearable.
39:40Next, the news reported a person named Iaro,
39:43who had robbed a jewelry store and was wanted by the police.
39:46The superhuman forces began searching for him.
39:48Later, in an alley near the street, Iaro was seen holding a bloodstained knife,
39:53facing off against another superhuman.
39:55Popstep then arrived at Kutichi's house and said she needed to make a playlist for the upcoming party.
40:00She entered and asked Kutichi,
40:01Are you here?
40:02He replied,
40:03Of course, this is my house.
40:04She opened the fridge, took a cup of sweets, and asked what he was doing.
40:08Kutichi said he was repairing his damaged suit.
40:10Popstep suggested he replace it with a sturdier one,
40:13but he insisted it had to be this way, as wearing it filled him with courage.
40:17Popstep asked if the suit excited him,
40:19and Kutichi said he had decided to eat the cup of sweets.
40:22Popstep replied she hadn't heard him tell her not to eat it,
40:25and asked him to write his name if it was important.
40:27Kutichi said it didn't matter and asked if she couldn't back down from an argument.
40:31Popstep told him not to treat her that way at all.
40:33Kutichi said next time he bought sweets, he'd get extra for her.
40:36She clarified that wasn't her point,
40:38and called him stingy for repairing his suit, instead of buying a new one.
40:41Kutichi angrily said his suit wasn't worn out,
40:44and told her to talk about anything else, as he wouldn't compromise on this.
40:47Popstep said, fine, as you wish.
40:50Kutichi then showed her a collection of many suits,
40:52explaining they weren't cheap but exclusive merchandise for hardcore fans,
40:56with limited editions released annually.
40:58He owned everyone except a version made five years ago during the Silver Age.
41:02Popstep asked if he was missing one, and Kutichi said he had given it to someone.
41:06He told her that even in middle school,
41:08he was serious about becoming a hero,
41:09and took the superhuman hero exam at Tokyo School to join the hero course.
41:13On the morning of the test, he was running very late.
41:16As he neared the venue, he heard men shouting about a child drowning.
41:19Kutichi wondered what to do,
41:21he might miss the test, but decided to jump in and save the child.
41:24It turned out the water wasn't deep, and rescuing the child was easy.
41:28Afterward, he climbed up, and hot air was blown on him.
41:31He asked if anyone had seen his clothes, and a woman handed them to him.
41:34He said they weren't his, but the child's,
41:36and threw them to the kid before rushing to the exam.
41:39He told Popstep he was late for the test,
41:41and often wondered if he would have kept trying to become a hero if that hadn't happened.
41:44But he left his heroic spirit beside his precious suit.
41:48So, the boy whose name I don't even know told her that this child had become a superhero,
41:52and admitted that when he was little, he was saved by someone,
41:56and wanted to thank them very much.
41:57Kouta saw this superhero on the news and said,
42:00It's good that he became a superhero.
42:02Popstep said,
42:03That's stupid of you.
42:04You're telling me you spent your life playing your usual hero games.
42:07She told him what he did was foolish and left.
42:09Kuta asked Popstep,
42:10What's upsetting you now?
42:12Shouldn't you see things from a new perspective?
42:14After that, Popstep flew toward her house, calling him an idiot.
42:17When she entered her house, she told herself,
42:20He shouldn't be so easily swayed,
42:21and said the boy he was talking about was her,
42:24and that she wasn't a boy to begin with.
42:26She took out Kuta's jacket and hugged it,
42:28but she's a girl.
42:29She remembered that day when she tried to cross the river and took a shortcut.
42:32Because of the rain, the ground was slippery,
42:35causing her to fall into the river.
42:36But she never forgot her savior since then,
42:38and he stayed in her mind.
42:40Even though she met him late, he also saved her,
42:42but she couldn't find a way to thank him.
42:44She remembered when he told her,
42:46You can't back out of a fight, can you?
42:48Popstep said,
42:49That's not true.
42:50Put the jacket in her bag,
42:51bought some candy,
42:52and flew to Kuta's house.
42:53Kuta opened the door and asked,
42:55What's up?
42:55Did you forget something?
42:57Popstep said,
42:57There's something I want to tell you.
42:59When she entered, she found Caldistro inside,
43:01which annoyed her.
43:02Caldistro ate the candy with Popstep,
43:04and Kuta asked,
43:05Didn't you bring any candy for me?
43:07She replied,
43:08Caldistro ate your share.
43:09Kuta asked,
43:10What did you want to tell me?
43:11Is it about what's in the bag?
43:13Popstep angrily said,
43:14What's in the bag is mine alone.
43:16Don't touch it at all.
43:17She left, leaving Kuta puzzled.
43:19Caldistro asked,
43:19What brought her here again?
43:21We moved to Popstep's house,
43:22where she said,
43:23Why is this happening to me?
43:24Then she looked at the bag and put on Kuta's jacket.
43:26Next, we shift to the police station,
43:29where Akira was released after being questioned about the trigger injection.
43:32The investigator asked Akira,
43:34Who gave you the trigger?
43:35He replied,
43:36I don't know.
43:36They're the ones who contact me.
43:38After that, Akira went to Hachisuka's hideout.
43:40Hachisuka told him,
43:41I have a new dose.
43:42Then Akira appeared as a monster in the street,
43:45terrifying the people.
43:46Kuta headed to Akira's location,
43:48and Popstep joined him.
43:49Kauda asked,
43:50Haven't we caught this guy before?
43:51I thought he'd be imprisoned forever with the villains.
43:54Popstep said,
43:55It seems you're not officially registered as a villain unless you keep committing quirk-related crimes.
43:59Once isn't enough.
44:01Kauda said,
44:01I get it now,
44:02so it's better to stop him before he starts a crime spree.
44:05He moved to attack,
44:06and Popstep said,
44:07He always acts like he's defending criminals.
44:10Kuda attacked the villain,
44:11who said,
44:11You again Kuda.
44:12The villain struck,
44:13but Kuda dodged and felt happy because the villain called him by his name,
44:17not Cake Maker.
44:18Popstep said,
44:19You shouldn't be happy when a villain calls you by name.
44:21The villain attacked again,
44:23but they escaped his blows.
44:24Kuda told Popstep,
44:25He's moving behind me.
44:27I'll guide him to a safe spot.
44:29Popstep said,
44:30Kaldistro isn't here today,
44:31remembering when he told them he had other work.
44:33They wondered,
44:34Does he do other things?
44:35The villain attacked Kuda,
44:36landing a few hits,
44:38but Kuda dodged them all and said,
44:39This villain's speed and strength have increased.
44:42We moved to Hachisuka,
44:43who said,
44:43What I injected into Akira was TRD,
44:46a dopamine-boosting cocktail.
44:47The results are a huge increase in his psychological aggression and quirk overall.
44:51It doesn't have a big effect, does it?
44:53I wish I could see firsthand how tough this man is.
44:55We shift to Kuda dodging the villain's attacks and escaping his blows, saying,
44:59The ground is destroyed.
45:01The villain's attacks were hard to dodge,
45:03and he nearly managed to land a hit.
45:05But just in time,
45:06the superhuman intervened,
45:07blocking the villain's strike aimed at Kudaishi,
45:10and pushing the villain away with a counterattack.
45:12After that,
45:13the superhuman launched an assault on the villain,
45:15delivering several blows until the police arrived.
45:18Bobstep,
45:18The police are here.
45:19The villain fled immediately.
45:21Bobstep then approached Kudaishi
45:22and told him they needed to escape now.
45:24Kudaishi turned to the superhuman and said,
45:26Thank you for saving me.
45:28Who are you?
45:28The superhuman replied that his name was Standal,
45:31and that he was an intervenor like Kudaishi,
45:33which filled Kudaishi with joy.
45:35Standal said,
45:35See you soon,
45:36and left.
45:37Later,
45:37at Kudaishi's home,
45:38he expressed his disbelief at Standal's incredible skill,
45:41describing how strong and precise his sword strikes were.
45:44He also mentioned that Standal carried a sword like his own.
45:47Bobstep told him,
45:49You let people influence you too much.
45:50Soon after,
45:52Bobstep received a message from Samazu and his crew.
45:54She read it aloud.
45:55It mentioned a famous and exceptional fighter who used to attend their school a man of true character who never made mistakes.
46:01Upon hearing about them,
46:03this man requested a meeting at the restaurant in front of the station.
46:06Kudaishi said,
46:07That sounds good.
46:08I'd like to work more with the locals.
46:10He added,
46:10I told you he resembles Standal a lot.
46:12This place is full of people with a strong sense of justice.
46:15I hope these hidden heroes become more active,
46:18and I'll do my part too.
46:19Kulder said,
46:20Yes,
46:20but those who fight based solely on their personal sense of justice are dangerous.
46:24That's sound logic.
46:25Kudaishi replied,
46:26You might be right.
46:27Bobstep told Kudaishi,
46:29I told you not to take this man's words too seriously.
46:32She then informed Kulder,
46:33This man only wants to meet me and Kudaishi.
46:35Please stay out of it.
46:36Later at the restaurant,
46:37they met the man.
46:38Upon seeing him,
46:39they were horrified.
46:40The man asked,
46:41So,
46:41the old man isn't with you now?
46:42He then questioned Kudaishi and Bobstep,
46:45What exactly do you think I am?
46:46Kudaishi hesitated,
46:48recalling the man's actions,
46:49and said,
46:50I think you're,
46:50but trailed off,
46:51unwilling to call him a villain outright.
46:53Bobstep said,
46:54I believe you're a man of slander and murder.
46:56Kudaishi agreed.
46:57Of course,
46:58she's right.
46:58The man replied,
46:59Talking to you is a waste of time,
47:01and left.
47:02Kudaishi asked,
47:03What did he even want to discuss with us?
47:05Bobstep shrugged,
47:06Who cares?
47:06He's not worth it.
47:07Meanwhile,
47:08the monster continued to flee,
47:09but was struck by someone.
47:10Then,
47:11Standal appeared and told him,
47:13Your resolve weakens because of the fear inside you.
47:15He approached and delivered a powerful blow,
47:18severing one of the monster's limbs.
47:19Standal then displayed some images,
47:21declaring,
47:22This man is next.
47:23Hachesuka was watching him,
47:24deeply impressed.
47:25Some members of the Abigawa Tensho family
47:28were sitting together in a pub,
47:29feeling extremely angry
47:30because they had been asked to submit their names
47:33to be put on a list of villains,
47:34just because they were Yakuza
47:36who followed the chivalrous code.
47:37But Rojia didn't mind being treated as a villain,
47:40since he believed that a man's way of life
47:42doesn't change because of politics or time.
47:44Even if you have to face the hero someday,
47:46you stick to your principles.
47:47A few months earlier,
47:49at the Abigawa Tensho family headquarters,
47:51Standal had attacked them.
47:52He struck at them,
47:53but couldn't land a hit.
47:54The family members transformed one by one,
47:57fighting back,
47:58but Standal dodged their blows.
47:59Then something happened that made them freeze in place.
48:02Standal took advantage of this opportunity,
48:04and cut them down with his sword.
48:05When the rest of the family arrived,
48:07he killed one of them too.
48:08He introduced himself,
48:10which left them terrified.
48:11Standal then went back to his hideout
48:13to change clothes and return to his normal life.
48:15But Hachisuka greeted him there,
48:17calling him,
48:18the judge,
48:18though she mispronounced it.
48:20Standal corrected her with his real name,
48:22introducing himself properly,
48:23a supernatural being,
48:25red for life and black for death,
48:27and that the role of the judge
48:28is to carve space between them.
48:30Without his mask,
48:31he said,
48:31he's just an ordinary man,
48:33serving the heroic ideal.
48:34Then he gave blood samples he'd collected
48:36from the Abigawa family to Hachisuka,
48:38because they were very useful
48:39since the Yakuza always exploit employee benefits.
48:42But the medical test could be fatal.
48:44Just as Standal killed those villains,
48:46he said he would kill the remaining villains too,
48:48including Hachisuka herself.
48:50But Hachisuka had people who would protect her,
48:52and at the same time,
48:53they were destroying the city.
48:54We cut to the hospital,
48:55where Moyo and Suga went to visit Rept,
48:57who was sick.
48:58Moyo brought Rept some gifts,
49:00but Rept wanted something else,
49:01he just wanted to smoke instead.
49:03He couldn't smoke,
49:04because they'd taken his lighter.
49:05Moyo tried to help,
49:06but when he lit the fire,
49:08the alarm went off,
49:09making the nurses angry at them
49:10for breaking the no smoking rule inside the hospital.
49:13So they stepped outside for a smoke,
49:15talking about when Rept would be discharged,
49:17it would be soon,
49:18after checking his test results.
49:20He hadn't spent much time in the hospital,
49:22even though his accident could have killed him,
49:24but being a lizard made it easier to heal.
49:26All this happened because of Trigger,
49:28when they used it,
49:28it kept him from dying,
49:30but also,
49:30almost killed him because of his transformation.
49:32Even though he had wings,
49:34it was hard for anyone to catch him,
49:35and Moyo said Trigger made his firepower even stronger.
49:38Suga listened,
49:39thinking about what they were saying,
49:41and asked Rept if he wanted to fly again,
49:43but Rept refused,
49:44since he almost died last time.
49:45He took that as a warning,
49:47that made Suga reflect,
49:48too.
49:48Then,
49:49we jumped to Hachisuka meeting with Suga.
49:51She asked about Suga's friends,
49:53but they hadn't come with him.
49:54She needed to tell them what happened to a recent group of villains,
49:57they needed to be careful,
49:58to unite their strength,
49:59so they wouldn't be killed by this superhuman who kills villains.
50:02She was putting on an act to make sure she didn't lose her collection of villains.
50:06Suga didn't seem to care about her warning,
50:08and said he could face that monster alone,
50:10maybe even beat him,
50:11but no matter how fired up he was,
50:13he'd still need help from his friends.
50:15As Suga was leaving,
50:16Standle approached and said,
50:18no more games,
50:19and that he'd come to kill him.
50:20Hachisuka tried to give Suga some trigger,
50:22telling him that if he got killed,
50:24Moyo and Rept would be next,
50:25and he had to save them.
50:26But Suga smashed the trigger,
50:28saying he didn't need that drug to kill Standlejust.
50:31His weapon was enough,
50:32and he wouldn't play things their way.
50:34Hachisuka had another idea to make the fight more interesting.
50:37She unleashed a swarm of bees that injected Suga with trigger,
50:40transforming him into a monster.
50:41He looked at her,
50:42behind her smile,
50:43remembering his painful past,
50:45how everyone judged him by his looks,
50:47and never for who he really was.
50:49After that,
50:49Suga turned into a monster.
50:51Meanwhile,
50:52while Koichi was walking around,
50:53he heard Suga's screams and rushed over.
50:55He was surprised that Suga had used trigger again,
50:58and was ordered to stand down,
50:59as Standle would take care of things.
51:01Suga attacked Standle,
51:03who withstood his blows,
51:04and then Standle landed a heavy hit on Suga that nearly killed him.
51:07Right as Standle was about to finish him off,
51:09Koichi realized Suga might die,
51:11so he moved quickly,
51:12pushing Standle away,
51:13and grabbing Suga to get him out of reach of Standle's sword.
51:16Standle stopped Koichi by striking him,
51:18knocking him to the ground.
51:19Standle believed the monster was worthless and deserved to die,
51:22but Koichi had other plans she used his power to escape,
51:25carrying Suga and trying to save him.
51:27Standle didn't give up.
51:28He tasted Koichi's blood that spilled when he got hurt,
51:31and when he did,
51:32Koichi was frozen in place and couldn't move at all.
51:34That's Standle's ability.
51:35If he licks someone's blood,
51:37he can freeze them.
51:38Standle approached them and blocked their way to the main street,
51:41drawing his sword.
51:42To him,
51:42both of them were villains,
51:44and he would end their lives together so no one would ever know about them.
51:47But then Caldester showed up just in time to protect Koichi as they were on the same team.
51:52Standle tried to avoid fighting Caldester and backed down,
51:55saying their goals were similar both going after villains.
51:58But there was a clear difference.
51:59Caldester fought for good,
52:00while Standle was a crazed killer.
52:02Caldester's strength also scared Standle,
52:04since his punches packed an iron force.
52:06Caldester gave Standle a chance to run away.
52:09He took a wire from his clothes and told him if he accepted it and left,
52:12that'd be best for him.
52:13But if he tried to cross the wire,
52:15he would be in serious danger.
52:16Standle thought a lot before making a move,
52:18knowing Caldester's strength,
52:20but stepped back not to retreat,
52:21but to gain speed and try to land a blow.
52:24Caldester set a trap and was the one who crossed the wire,
52:26which let him land a punch on Standle,
52:28sending Standle crashing to the ground.
52:30Koichi was astonished by Caldester's strength.
52:32Caldester grabbed Standle's mask,
52:34thinking that those who wear masks feel like they're no longer themselves,
52:38believing they're invincible heroes.
52:39This kind of person has a big problem,
52:41because they ignore societal rules and their own safety when attacking,
52:45but get exposed themselves when someone fights back.
52:47In the end, Caldester said,
52:49I'm just flesh and blood,
52:50whoever forgets that won't have much resolve in the end.
52:53Just as Caldester was about to leave,
52:55Standle came to,
52:56attacked him again,
52:57and managed to injure him with a few blows.
52:59Caldester got angry and started hitting back,
53:01but Standle backed off,
53:02licked Caldester's blood from his wound,
53:04and froze,
53:05him achieving his goal then ran away,
53:07bleeding.
53:07Bobstep came while Caldester was treating Koichi's wounds.
53:10Koichi was in a lot of pain.
53:12Caldester asked Bobstep to check on Suga.
53:14She opened her medical kit and treated Suga,
53:16upset.
53:17Koichi tried to comfort Suga,
53:19so he wouldn't feel alone or that everyone feared him,
53:21and was happy they'd survived the fight with Standle.
53:23Suga was surprised at how Koichi could smile after nearly dying and thought he was crazy,
53:28but Bobstep told Suga he was just a fool,
53:30not crazy.
53:31We then moved to Standle,
53:32who's angry,
53:33realizing there's still a lot missing for him to beat Caldester.
53:36More than anything,
53:37he lacked resolve.
53:38Hachisuka was with him,
53:40thinking that living and working hard are only truly enjoyable if you have resolve.
53:44Standle got angry,
53:45threw a knife at Hachisuka,
53:46knocking her to the ground.
53:48Then he used the knife to sear his own face,
53:50making a new mask his own face and,
53:52swore he'd never wear another.
53:53This would help him see the world uncovered,
53:55with his own eyes.
53:56Hachisuka regained consciousness,
53:58pulled the knife out of her eye,
54:00and was happy it happened,
54:01since she found it fun.
54:02Standle kept moving,
54:03still bleeding heavily,
54:05heading out to face the world.
