My Hero Academia: Vigilantes (2025) s01e02 Episode Script

1
You must be
the Erasure Hero: Eraser Head!
A hero?
Have you heard of him?
I'm off duty today, so I'm
just a concerned citizen.
Good, that makes two of us.
Don't tell me he thinks we're villains?!
No way! I'm not even with that old guy!
I'm not either!
H-He's started a fight with a hero!
There's got to be something wrong with him!
He's the type who uses brute force
and an endurance-enhancing Quirk.
It wouldn't be rational
to play by his rules.
Erasure didn't do anything?!
So, that's it.
He's
His Quirk is
vigilante
a member of a volunteer committee organized to suppress
and punish crime summarily (as when the processes of law are
viewed as inadequate); broadly: a self-appointed doer of justice
Takeoff
Wh-What do we do now?
Huh? That guy
From behind, he looks familiar.
Oh yeah, when I was searching earlier.
Thought so. That guy's always showing
up where there's villain trouble.
Koichi! He might know something!
See, he's running! That's suspicious!
Help me chase him!
Huh? What?!
P-Please stop!
I need to check your tongue, just in case!
Time to settle the score after yesterday.
What's wrong?
You done already?
I apologize. It seems I had the wrong idea.
So long as you're not misusing a Quirk,
there's no reason for me to arrest you.
Dry Eye
Although I was sure you were
some kind of villain.
I get told that a lot.
Is that so? Pardon me.
He freely admits it.
But I can't charge him
with anything right now.
If Erasure doesn't work on him,
that means he's Quirkless.
Just some guy who's really tough.
But that doesn't make him
any less suspicious.
I might as well notify
the police about him.
Villains!
Some villains showed up!
As ever, running away's what you do best!
See if you can dodge this!
Uh oh.
I'm over this way.
Crap!
Guess who else is here?
Me!
Mast—
Mr. Knuckle!
What happened to the girl?
She's chasing that office worker!
You're not gettin' away!
Wh-What's your problem? I can't move!
Dealing with guys like you
is true hero work.
Not that I'm on duty today.
Get back here!
Stop! I mean it!
My figures fell again
My figures
Ow
He's huge!
A-A giant supervillain!
Run!
Cool! Gotta snap a pic!
Call a hero, stupid!
Quirk: Playtime
M-Master!
Pop!
Her Quirk is Leap!
She doesn't have anywhere to leap from!
She's just gonna smack into the ground!
Earlier, back there
Why're you helping him with this stuff?
she asked me that.
Sure enough, the answer is
because I want to be a hero.
There's no way I can ever go pro now.
I know that, but
if only for a moment,
I want to fly, too!
Koichi!
There! Leap!
Koichi!
Wham!
I made it!
Koichi!
Watch out!
Erase a Gigantification Quirk,
and of course he'll shrink.
After that, it's only
rational to capture him, right?
For what it's worth,
I appreciate your help.
Like I said, I'm a concerned citizen too.
Helping heroes is a civic duty.
But this hero game you guys play
gets you in over your heads.
We're doing things pro heroes can't do.
Things we can't do?
Guys like that giant villain,
and those punks?
We can beat them up before
they do anything wrong.
Hold on.
Beating someone up before they've done
anything makes you the criminal.
By that reasoning,
us getting charged with something only
happens after the deed is done, right?
So, it's easier to ask
forgiveness than permission?
You've got some serious character flaws.
I get told that a lot.
Koichi? You okay?
Yeah, I'm just a little worn out.
I should stick to what I know, though.
Getting into fights like
I'm some kind of hero.
I guess that was never really
me in the first place.
I ended up falling anyway.
Thought I was going to die.
You know what's annoying?
Stuff—like—that.
Quit picking apart every little thing.
And that—what is it—modesty?
It's pointless, so just stop.
I was thinking of thanking you,
but not when you're this annoying.
Koichi, let me explain to you why you fell.
It's because you jumped.
Beyond that, it's all about the landing.
It's great that you imitated
me by landing on a trash heap,
but there are still plenty of
other things for you to learn.
Like I said before,
I'm not your apprentice.
You called me "Master"
back there, didn't you?
Well, that just slipped out.
And saying "Mr. Knuckle" is a mouthful.
All the more reason, then.
Whatever slips out, whatever you say or
do in the moment, that's the real you.
Figure that out, aspiring hero.
Uh, isn't that argument a little pushy?
Yeah, that's right. It's a fight.
What's your problem?!
Shut your hole!
You better not cross me, ya hick!
What'd you say?!
You better take that back, dumbass!
They're going crazy with their
Quirks in front of the station.
They're wearing school uniforms,
so maybe they're in high school?
What middle school are you from?!
What middle school are you from?!
Sorry, make that middle school.
Okay, be right there.
Koichi, I've got something
you're gonna like.
Something I'll like?
Protective gear for bikers,
and body armor to wear beneath your hoodie.
Now you can go as fast as you want.
Stop that, you guys!
Whoops!
What the hell?!
Hey, you okay?!
That didn't hurt!
Who're you to butt in all
of a sudden?! Huh?!
Villains are just gonna
make fun of "Nice Guy."
You also need a new name.
Huh? Me?
They call me
the man with an air of mystery,
The Crawler!
Huh? What're you talkin' about?
Aren't you Nice Guy?
Oh, the guy who's always picking up trash!
That's admirable, dude!
No, no more Mr. Nice Guy! It's The Crawler!
The Cruller?
No, no, no. Not "Cruller."
The Crrrawler!
I don't like how you're
rollin' that R, man.
Anyway, stop fighting. Violence is no good.
Huh?
Who put you in charge, huh?!
Oh, cut that out, you.
The gear's working! That didn't hurt!
Oh yeah? Take this!
My eyes!
Take it down a notch, Nice Guy!
"Crawler!"
Go clean something, like you always do!
You can bet we'll do some cleaning!
We'll clean scum like you off the streets!
Master!
Who's this old fart?
Listen, brats! I'm about to pound you!
And then, I'm gonna make
sure of some things.
Wait, wait! There's no need to hit them!
Why do you always lead with that?!
Hitting first is faster,
and it gets results.
Most importantly, it makes me feel better.
You can't hit people for the
sake of feeling better.
Why not?
"Why not"?
Uh, hey.
What're you guys talkin' about?
This is getting old.
Hi there, got a minute?
Pop☆Step!
I'm always watching your online videos.
I-I give them "likes," too.
Thank you! Want an autograph?
Yes, please!
These two behind me?
They're not bad guys, but they're
not exactly respectable either.
I'm respectable!
Oh really?
A villain!
A villain showed up!
I'm tough! So solid!
I'm invincible!
I'm harder than any building!
Oh no! That baby!
Successful rescue.
Okay!
Hey, that guy's bad news!
Somebody call a hero!
Nobody can harm me!
Master! Look!
Yeah, we found one.
Let's do this!
Right!
That is one strong villain.
It's because of a dangerous drug called Trigger
that turns ordinary people into villains.
Those two are volunteers trying
to prevent its spread.
I'm superhuman!
You normies can scamper about all you
want. It won't make any difference!
Now, while he's focused on me!
You pop-up villains aren't
used to your berserk Quirks!
You're wide open!
Your Hardening Quirk, for example.
You've hardened your outside too much,
and it's made you slow.
That's why you fall over easily!
And as this is a conscious Hardening,
not some weird look you were born with,
you'll soften up if your focus drifts!
I just need one solid punch,
and the rest is easy.
I won't give you a chance to recover!
You were a fool to think your
hastily-prepared armor was hot stuff.
You always go too far!
See, he passed out and his
Hardening's coming undone.
Let's take a picture and
figure out who he is.
Right.
Can't tell what he looks like.
You hit him too much.
Thank you so much, I mean it.
No problem.
Good for you.
There.
Should I still take a photo anyway?
Yeah, and get his tongue in it too.
His tongue?
When people use Trigger,
it turns their tongues black.
It's a dead giveaway.
Try to make sure none of your
friends get hooked on it.
Could you text me if anything comes up?
Yeah, drugs are no good.
Yeah, they're bad news.
Here come the police.
Okay, split!
See you later, then.
Uh, hey!
Come to my shows, too!
Who the hell are you guys?
We're the mysterious new heroes.
Knuckleduster and The Crawler!
Do we have an ID on the suspect?
No matches on the villain list.
We're currently checking him against
the universal Quirk registry.
According to local police,
the suspect used a Quirk involving hardening,
superhuman strength, and gigantification.
That's quite a flashy type.
Yes, we'll get a hit soon enough.
Composite Quirks are not too common.
No, we probably won't identify
him using the existing list.
What do you mean?
Oral discoloration
from impeded blood flow.
It's a side effect of taking Ideo Trigger.
He's one of those instant villains.
But wow, is his face ever a mess.
What hero dealt with this guy?
They'll have their license suspended
for excessive use of force.
Well
We have testimony that a
hero duo was fighting,
but there are no reports of hero
dispatches to this locale.
Aha, that means it's the same as with
that giant villain from the other day.
They must be vigilantes.
Unauthorized, illegal heroes.
Well, whoever they are, it's fine in the
end if they defeated a villain for us.
Whoa, Sansa. Be careful what you say.
Oh. Yes, sir.
We have laws for a reason.
It doesn't matter if you're
dealing with a villain or not.
Taking the law into one's
own hands is a crime.
Oh.
People are talking about
what happened today.
Any reaction to the new heroes?!
Looks like everyone's calling you
Freaky Fist Grandpa and The Cruller.
The Crawler!
Namimaru
Cruller's for sure spent some time in the fryer LOL
His sidekick The Cruller kicked some butt too
Dude was totally unhinged
It's "The Crawler!"
I may have started unlawfully
doing hero work,
but I'm just a boring college student.
More like, I'm a lonely college student.
But that makes it that much
easier to find trouble!
Next time, "Bee."
There's someone behind the scenes!
