My Hero Academia: Vigilantes (2025) s01e04 Episode Script

1
Our perfect triad formation
has no blind spots!
Quirk: Glide and Slide
We are the Three Sturm und Drang Broth—
Their tongues aren't black, which means
they're not involved with Trigger.
They're just weirdos.
Somebody, please call the police!
This geezer got all up in my face!
Talking about a bee user or something.
On to the next one.
Oh yes, sir.
villain
a character in a story or play who opposes the hero;
a deliberate scoundrel or criminal;
one blamed for a particular evil or difficulty
Top Runner
Master, haven't you been
acting weird lately?
You haven't said much since
that big fuss the other day.
Does it have anything to do
with the "bee user" thing?
Ow
You know, I don't think I'm cut
out for fist fights after all.
Maybe we shouldn't bother
with this punching practice.
You got a point.
Okay, I'll do all the hitting.
Whoa!
You find some other way to deal with things.
Koichi!
Don't forget to hold back, Gramps!
This guy's as weak as a bug!
Oh, but lately I've noticed.
He's actually going pretty easy on me.
Huh?
If he hit me as hard as he could,
I'd wind up dead.
It's the same with villains.
He always stops short of killing them.
It's like he's tossing in
just a pinch of overkill.
Yeah, but overkill is still overkill.
That disturbance the other
day was overkill, Hachisuka.
It's up to your discretion how you manage
the Trigger you've been allotted,
but it's still a valuable product.
Not something to distribute
indiscriminately.
What's the big deal?
We got data from it, didn't we?
It's a matter of efficiency.
A person's mental state exerts a strong
influence on their physical abilities.
Quirks are no exception.
A strong will is essential for the
use of an extraordinary Quirk.
Like with heroes?
It's true for villains too.
The people we seek have an explosive
passion in their hearts.
They're all too ready to pull
the trigger themselves.
That's such a pain.
Or rather, people like that
are usually a huge pain.
So what I'm saying is, you've been chosen!
As "pain of the year!"
What're you talkin' about, bitch?
Come outta nowhere!
Oh, looks like you're already
high on something else.
I knew you had it in you.
Don't screw with me God damn it!
That's the way. Turn all that
hate you've saved up into power!
Then go and let society
know how you really feel.
Enough of this shit!
Scary!
You—
Give 'em hell, now!
Go on, fight! Against whatever
it is only you can see!
Just kidding.
Looks like we've got a live one!
Can we handle this?!
He's quick on his feet!
And insanely savage!
W-Wait a sec!
Pop, get these people out of here!
I'll keep him busy until the pros arrive!
All right.
Everyone, hurry and run for it!
There's a super-dangerous villain!
Oh no!
Are you all right?
Th-Thank you.
Never mind thanks, just hurry and r—
Master!
He's still up!
What're you
doin'?!
He's taking his internally amplified power and
focusing it in his fists the instant he attacks.
It's too dangerous to get close to him.
We'll have to contain him from a distance.
No.
No need for that.
Fists call for fists!
You
You'll pay!
He's going toe to toe with that monster?!
No, Master's just narrowly dodging.
But he's getting grazed a lot!
The damage is adding up!
Meanwhile, his opponent
keeps storing up power!
Here comes that attack again!
M-Master!
This guy's normal attacks are pretty fast,
but he puts too much into his finisher.
The moment he comes at you with all
that power focused in his fist,
the rest of him is vulnerable,
so countering is easy.
But still, he was bad news.
So quick
aggressive, and above all, huge.
It made him a real menace.
Just like I thought When
it comes to villains
they better go big or go home!
I've been fighting so many small fry lately.
It wasn't satisfying.
My door's open anytime for a
big dangerous sucker like him!
After all, guys like him don't complain
if you beat 'em half to death!
No, I think they would!
Oh, sorry.
W-Well, I'm just glad Master
seems to be back in top form.
Why are you happy that he hit you?
Are you an idiot?
Ow!
I thought this last one had real potential,
but then those people interfered again.
Especially the old guy.
Wouldn't it be best to
do something about him?
Not that it makes much difference to me.
It benefits us to have
those vigilantes around.
We can get combat data without heroes
or the police getting involved.
I'd like to preserve this status quo.
But it looks like they'd love to catch us.
Collect data, but don't give any away.
That's how you prove you're a
good coordinator, Hachisuka.
Oh yeah? Is that what my job is?
Um
Hey, are you Honey?
You sure are well built, mister.
Well, hey, I had no idea you'd be this cute.
That's enough for intros. Let's get going.
Wow, you're jumping right in. Are you sure?
I just can't wait to see
your wild side, mister.
Know what I mean?
Pit-01 to Control.
We have eyes on a villain
traveling dangerously fast.
Control to Pit-01.
There are no civilian vehicles
for the next five kilometers.
Good. Ingenium, heading out!
Commencing Ingenium hot-start sequence.
Cowl suit functions, check.
Comms, fully operational.
No issues with alignment.
The catapult is fully set.
Pit-01 decelerating,
holding steady at 80 kilometers per hour.
Ingenium
pitting out!
You! Dangerous runner up ahead!
Your race is over!
Slow down immediately!
If you don't, I'll attempt
to force you to stop!
Not good enough, Turbo Hero.
You've got to run like your life is on the line.
See ya, slowpoke!
Ingenium!
Ingenium, respond!
Man
Ingenium!
I'm glad we installed the airbags.
Ingenium, respond!
Okay.
Nobody's around this early, so I can
practice Slide and Glide all I want.
Wait.
There's a jogger.
Oh well, I'll go ahead and pass him.
Got to be careful. I can't stop
too well if I go too fast.
The real problem is braking.
Wonder if there's anything I can do.
Maybe attach studs to some gloves?
Whoa! What?!
That was close.
Sorry about that. Guess I
startled you when I caught up.
Are you a student? From around here?
Yes, pretty much.
I'm Tensei Iida.
Have you heard of Turbo Hero: Ingenium?
Well, sure, he's famous.
You mean, you're him?!
Wow, this is amazing!
I'm always cheering for you!
Thanks.
By the way, back there.
You were doing some serious sliding.
How does your Quirk work?
Is something coming out
of your hands and feet?
Um, it's like some kind of repellent force.
Can you only move forward?
Oh, I can also go backwards and to the side.
And I can spin in one spot.
Hey, that's cool.
Yeah, that really is a handy Quirk.
I'm not so good at sharp turns.
My little brother still can't turn at all.
Tenya!
What are you, a robot?!
I lose control when I go fast too.
Or more like, I have no brakes.
You don't?
I usually stop using the soles of my shoes,
but if there's too much momentum,
I lose control.
Maybe the issue is with how
you're using your Quirk.
How I'm using it?
You said you can back up, didn't you?
Right.
Then instead of seeing it as stopping,
can't you offset your momentum by suddenly
accelerating in the opposite direction?
I did it!
Problem solved, after all those years!
You really are impressive.
It still needs work,
but a Quirk that can handle both high-speed
movement and tight maneuvers, huh?
Oh, but come to think of it, my being
able to go faster doesn't mean much.
That's not true. Speed is important.
When people are unfortunate enough to be
caught in a disaster or a villain attack,
do you have any idea what they're thinking?
What would it be?
Something like, "Save me"?
Close.
It's, "Hurry and save me."
In a life-threatening situation,
everyone is filled with fear.
Just like a lost child.
I come running as fast as I can, take them
by the hand, and get them to safety.
That speed is the most
important thing for a hero.
That's what I think.
And so
You said you're a student, right?
Once you graduate, how would you like
to put that Quirk to work at my agency?
But I don't have a hero license.
There's always the option
of getting your license
while working in the field as support staff.
Since we've got Quirks, we should
use them to benefit society, right?
We build a team made up of people with
the right focused Quirks for the job,
then face challenges using
our collective strength.
That's how we do things
President: Turbo Hero
Ingenium
at Team IDATEN.
Drop me a line, if you're so inclined.
Bye!
Back for more, Ingenium?
Right back at you.
You're running quicker than last time.
You must have shed some dead weight.
You're removing the airbag unit?!
But that's suicidal!
This villain attacks while
running at full-speed!
I see you've finally found your resolve.
To sacrifice yourself to speed.
To risk your life trying to beat me!
No, guess again.
What I've entrusted my life to
are my teammates!
What about you?
How's your resolve?!
He flew!
So, that's how he always
vanishes from the highway.
Not only is he a street racer,
he's some kind of bat.
Control!
Yes, sir. The target villain
has left the elevated highway,
and is headed toward old-town East Naruhata.
Squad Two is up to bat.
Okay. Bingo!
Group-effort manhunts are where
Team IDATEN really shines.
Snare that villain in our net!
Hmph. Net, huh?
You're a bunch of third-rate nobodies.
It's full of holes!
Scout unit here. I've lost the target!
He got past B3 and B4!
B5 here! I lost him too!
Don't rush in! Maintain the net!
I'll be there soon!
Whoops!
Watch it, man!
I'm sorry!
Damn. I scouted the city in advance,
but it's harder to run
here than I expected.
These streets are a maze, and he exploits
the darkness with his Bat Quirk.
Capturing him won't be easy.
What's that?
You see?
On the highway or the streets,
there's nobody who can catch
Yoop!
me!
Wh-What the
Who did this?
Well!
Around here there's not much lighting,
and plenty of rundown buildings.
That makes it tough to catch villains.
But once you're used to it, you can predict
a villain's escape route and head him off.
Gotta know the lay of the land.
You're
We're the guys who're happy to
assist upholders of justice.
Knuckleduster and
The Crawler!
I'm not involved! Just saying!
Should we pursue that suspicious group?
No, let them go.
We've done enough work for one day.
Hi. Thanks for the other day.
You scared me.
You're, um, The Crawl—
Wh-What are you talking about?
I'm just an unknown jogger.
Then if you happen to see
Crawler, tell him this:
"Nice run."
Also, that business card I gave you?
Could I have it back?
What?!
You know how I talked about
"the right Quirks for the job"?
If you've already found the right
calling for you, I'll respect that.
Although, as a pro,
that's the best advice I can give.
It might have been gauche of me to talk
about work with a jogging buddy, anyway.
Uh, well, I guess
Whoa, you're really disappointed!
Look, I'm sorry.
Let's try to cheer up.
Okay?
Right
Okay! Race you to the next corner!
Hey! No fair!
Pop☆Step here.
Next time, see how Koichi and I first—
There's an instant villain!
Oh, some cool guy showed up
and took down the villain!
And so, next time, "Judgment."
Huh? Pop, what were you saying?
Nothing
