Naruhata
Thank you very much!
Whee!
Hata House
Let's hear it for the new guy!
I think you drank a little too much.
We did drink a lot again today.
Want to drop in for tea somewhere?
Oh, my place is near here.
Would you like to stop by?
I'd like to see your place, Koichi.
Let's go, let's go!
Time to pay a visit!
Here we are.
Come on, no need to be shy.
No, I, uh
I've got some yummy snacks,
and I'll make tea for everyone!
Uh, hey Wait, wait!
No!
Hey, there's that freshman, Haimawari.
I hear he suddenly tried to take a
girl into an abandoned building.
And he wouldn't take no for an answer.
Oh gross. That's creepy, isn't it?
What's up with that? He's more
dangerous than he looks.
Yeah. They say keep your guard up with him,
no matter what gender you are.
There's no telling what someone
like him does in the shadows.
It's scary.
My place is surprisingly spacious.
Too spacious
I messed up my college debut.
Hey, Gramps!
I told you not to smoke in here!
It's no big deal. Don't sweat it.
It's shortening my lifespan!
Everyone dies someday.
Spare me the philosophy!
I've told you, I don't want my hair
or clothes smelling like smoke!
But look at me now.
The party never ends in this place.
Gramps!
I'm always telling you, abide by
etiquette in our shared space!
Do something, Koichi!

STRING OF JEWELRY STORE ROBBERY-MURDER INCIDENTS
FOLLOW-UP
We have a follow-up report
on the string of jewelry store
robbery-murder incidents
that began two months ago.
THE SUSPECT'S IDENTITY HAS BEEN CONFIRMED
Police have concluded that the
suspect is Iyaro Tenba, age 27.
He is unemployed, has no permanent address,
and was recently released from prison.
UNEMPLOYED; NO PERMANENT ADDRESS
IYARO TENBA
Suspect (27)
The suspect, Tenba, has been
classified as a villain,
and heroes have now officially
been added to the search effort.
Several Months Later
Today, I'll put together the
set list for my next show.
And it's about time I wrote a new song.
Oh, you're here, Koichi.
Of course I am.
Want to know why? I live here.
Yes, yes, I know.
Hey, you got anything to drink?
Custard Pudding
So, what are you up to?
My hoodie got damaged, so I'm mending it.
Ah, the usual one.
Why not replace it with something sturdier?
No. For me, it's got to be this.
Done.
Besides, this is official All Might merch.
Just wearing it makes the
courage well up inside me!
It gets you fired up, huh?
I was thinking of eating that pudding.
I-I never heard you say not to eat it.
Write your name on it
if it's that important.
It's not a big deal.
You really can't back down
from a fight, can you?
You have no right to talk to me like that!
Sorry, sorry.
Next time I buy goodies,
I'll get enough for you too.
That's not what I'm talking about!
And you're always so miserly.
Patching up that cheap, crummy hoodie
so you can keep wearing it.
It's not crummy!
Say what you want about other stuff,
but I won't back down on this!
Uh, yeah, you got it.
They're also not cheap.
They're specialty goods for hardcore fans!
By the way, a limited edition
comes out each year.
And I have every single one!
Except the Silver Age Edition with the
established color scheme from five years ago!
You're missing just the one?
Oh, yeah. I ended up giving it to someone.
You see, up through middle school I was
kinda serious about becoming a hero.
I signed up for the entrance exam to get into
a hero course at a high school here in Tokyo.
Then, on the morning of the test
Oh crap, I'm late! Oh crap, the test!
Oh crap, I'm late! Oh crap, the test!
Huh?
Isn't the station this way?
Tokyo's streets are like a maze!
Oh no!
A child's drowning in the river!
Someone call the police!
No, call the fire department!
N-No, my entrance exam
I'm
I-I am here!
That's cold!
And the current's quick!
I'll drown!
Oh. It's that shallow.
You okay, sonny?
F-Freezing!
E-Excuse me, someone get my hoodie!
Oh, you mean this! Here!
No, not for me.
For the kid!
The test! I'm late!
And then, I got there too
late to take the exam.
Sometimes I wonder, would I still
be trying to become a hero
if that event hadn't happened?
But I figure, I left my hero spirit,
along with my prized hoodie,
to that boy whose name I don't even know.
WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO BE A HERO?
MAKES A BIG SPLASH!
When I was little, somebody saved my life.
That's what got me started down this path.
Well, please offer a word for that patron
who inspired you to become a hero.
Oh, he's the one from that time.
I think you might be watching this from somewhere,
and thank you so much for what you did!
So, he became a hero!
That'd be good enough for me.
That's downright stupid.
Huh?
You're saying you threw away your own
future playing your usual hero games.
What a dumb thing to do. I'm leaving.
What are you mad about?
Shouldn't you be seeing me in a new light?
What just happened?
Dummy.
You truly are a dummy.
What do you mean, "hero spirit"?
Haneyama
What do you mean, "good enough for me"?
Try being less of a pushover.
Besides, that "boy whose
name you don't know"
That was me.
And I'm not a boy!
That day, as usual, I tried to use Leap
to clear the river and take a shortcut.
But it rained the night before,
the ground was slippery,
and the river was higher than usual.
And so
He's been on my mind ever since.
And even though I finally
got to meet him recently,
and even though he saved me that time too,
I haven't figured out a way to thank him.
You really can't back down
from a fight, can you?
That's not true!
I can back down if I wanted!
Thank you for all the times you've saved me.
I'm sorry for messing
up your exam that time.
I know full well you have
what it takes to be a hero.
To me, you've always been a true hero!
Huh? What's up?
You forget something?
I just wanted to tell you something.
Oh yeah? Say it, then.
Pudding, huh? Isn't this stuff
women and children eat?
If you don't like it,
how about you don't eat it?
Um, you didn't bring any for me?
He's eating your share.
What'd you want to tell me, anyway?
Is it about whatever's in that bag?
This belongs to me! You can
keep your hands off it!
Oh, uh, sorry
Unbelievable!
I'm leaving.
Pop? Weren't you going to tell—
Again?
What'd she come over for?
Darn it!
Why do things turn out like this?!
"Just wearing it makes the
courage well up inside me."
Yeah, sure.
Of course that doesn't happen.
It's ridiculous.
So, you've used up your Ideo Trigger,
and now you're out?
Yeah.
How do you contact your dealer?
I don't.
They're the one who approached
me and gave me the drug.
Hi.
I've got a new batch for you, Akira.
A villain!
Look out!
I'm the guy who comes running
when there's trouble!
The Crawler!
Wait a minute.
Didn't we already catch that villain once?
The hard guy.
I was sure they'd toss him
into some villain prison.
Looks like you're not officially
registered as a villain
unless you keep committing
Quirk-related offenses.
Once isn't enough.
Got it. Then we'd better stop him
before he goes on a crime spree!
It always sounds like you're
sticking up for the criminal.
Y-You
You again!
C-Crawler!
He called me "Crawler," not "Cruller!"
That's nothing to be happy about!
A villain calling you by name
means you're in trouble!
But if he comes after me,
I can lead him to a safe place.
Not that Gramps is around today.
Sorry, got something to do.
He does other things?
You think you can catch him by yourself?
Oh, no way.
I'll buy some time. You call it in.
Sounds about right.
It's an instant villain
with a Hardening Quirk!
You can do it, Cruller!
Someone, please call the cops!
Say what?
This guy seems faster than last time!
I think his power's increased too!
What I gave to Akira is, let's see
Tr-d2c. A cocktail for
dopaminergic enhancement.
So, inoculation results.
I confirm a significant augmentation
of both his psychological aggression
and his overall Quirk.
That doesn't carry much impact, does it?
I wish I could see firsthand
how solid the guy is.
Oh hey, it's Hachisuka.
What're you doing? Homework?
It's a report for my job.
Sounds like a pain.
The pay makes it worth it.
I'm in trouble.
The ground's all cratered from his punches.
It's gotten hard to move around!
Crap!
Koichi!
Ah, a new development.
You're a hard one.
Here come the police!
He ran off!
We've got to get away too!
Uh, thanks for saving me.
Who are you?
I'm Stendhal. A meddler, like yourself.
We'll meet again.
I can't believe how cool that guy was!
Overpowering villains with a sword!
Maybe I'll carry one around too!
You let people influence you too much.
I just got a message from Samazu and crew.
Let's see.
The "Legendary Alum"?
Mhm.
Naruhata
He said there's this famous kick-ass
fighter who used to go to his school.
He's all manly and can't
abide any wrongdoing.
I just transferred here,
so I'm not in the know.
So, when they told him about us,
he said he wants to meet us.
At the restaurant in front of the station.
Sounds good. I'd love to
work more with the locals!
I tell you, it's just
like with Mr. Stendhal.
This place has plenty of people
with a strong sense of justice!
I hope these hidden-hero types
become more and more active.
I'll do my part too.
Yeah, but
People who get into fights based on their
own sense of justice are dangerous.
That's common sense.
Huh?
What's wrong?
No, I mean, that's
Huh? Common sense?
Dangerous people You
might have a point.
I told you, you shouldn't take
what this guy says seriously!
The alum guy is coming to meet me
and Koichi, so you keep out of it!
Hey. The geezer's not with you today?
You know him already?
Th-That's one way of putting it.
Doesn't even come close!
What the hell do you guys think I am?
"What," you ask?
I mean, it's like
What's the right way to put it?
You're the Dox 'n' Murder Man!
Yeah, that's it.
Forget this.
It'd be a waste of time talking to just you two.
Sir
What did he want to discuss?
Who cares?! He's not worth it!
Looks like your eyes aren't hardened.
And when your focus wanders
due to pain and fear,
the rest of your Hardening weakens as well.
Do you know why you're scared and in pain?
It's because you lack conviction.
When you wield power without conviction,
that's called crime.
When crime takes the shape of a person,
they're called a villain.
With a single sword stroke,
I eliminate the crime you embody.
In other words
judgment.
Now then
Next, this guy.
Nice.
Societal rules are there so we
can all have peace of mind.
But as a vigilante, I operate
outside those rules.
Next time, "Crossing Lines."
I want to do what I think is right,
not what's good or bad.
Naruhata
Thank you very much!
Whee!
