How you doin'?
Kanrin Tavern
Come on in
Did you hear?
The list of our members' names?
We were told to submit it again this year.
They're gonna slap us all
onto the villain list.
Just 'cause we yakuza do the
whole chivalrous gangster thing,
we get treated like rotten villains.
That's how the authorities do things.
Why d'you look so calm?!
Ain't you listenin', Rojiya?!
Tetsu, sir
"Treated like villains." Sure, why not?
Sir?
The way a man lives doesn't change
because of policy, or the times.
Drunk driving!!
Even if you have to go up against All Might,
you still stick to your guns.
You said it, Rojiya!
Drink! Drink some more!
Yeah.
The Abegawa Tenchu Gang.
A villain group that was a typical
yakuza gang in the pre-Quirk days.
Several months ago
Its lieutenants all possess
overwhelming Quirks,
Abegawa Tenchu
Abegawa Tenchu
Naruhata HQ
but it's not the strength of their Quirks
that makes them truly dangerous.
Abegawa Tenchu
What gang sent you?!
Huh?!
It's how quickly and violently
they leap into battle.
Nice try, stupid!
honor and humanity
Tetsu the Tank
Soji the Hammer
Take this!
Haruhisa the Bare-Handed
Rojiya the Manhole
However!
Wha?!
I
Can't
Can't move!
For whatever reason,
all four suddenly freeze up!
He uses that instant to cut them all down!
Sir?!
Boss!
Wh-Who the hell're you?!
I am Judgment. I am Stendhal.
Hi, Mr. Judgment.
Wrong.
Yes, I know, it's "Stendhal."
That's wrong too.
He—Stendhal—is a superhuman being.
The red of life and the black of death.
The persona of judgment who
carves out the space between.
With my mask off, I'm no more than an
ordinary man who serves the heroic ideal.
I'd prefer the two be kept separate.
Oh wow, what a pain.
Okay, then, Mr. Ordinary Man. I need
to retrieve those blood samples.
I bet these came in handy.
Those yakuza guys really take
advantage of employee benefits.
But medical check-ups can prove fatal.
So, I helped you take out some bad guys.
You think maybe I could
name your next target?
Don't push your luck, villain.
Someday Stendhal will judge you too.
But until then, vermin who feed
on other vermin have their value.
Right, right.
Fight fire with fire, or whatever.
Okay, cool. Let's do it that way.
After all, the town of Naruhata
has plenty of bad villains.
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
Crossing Lines
Moyuru Tochi
Hey. You're lookin' well.
Soga Kugizaki
Rapt Tokage
'Sup?
Here, a drink and a copy
of Jump I'm done reading.
That's your idea of a pick-me-up?
Well, it's better than nothing.
Never mind that, Moyu. You got a light?
They confiscated my lighter.
Sure thing, man.
No smoking in the hospital, Rapt!
Shit!
They said they'll discharge me once
they see my exam results this weekend.
That's sooner than I thought.
I mean, you got all busted up
when you slammed into that wall.
I'm a lizard. Can't keep me down for long.
Thank that Quirk of yours.
Shouldn't you also thank
that drug we were on?
Right, Trigger. I'm not so sure.
Maybe that's the reason
I didn't die instantly,
but that stuff's why I nearly
got killed in the first place.
Can't say I feel too grateful.
Well, getting to fly was kinda cool.
Yeah, that was sweet.
I thought about it, and upping my
firepower didn't really mean much.
Huh?
It was awesome, though. Like Endeavor.
Don't compare me to him!
Hey, Rapt. You think you'd like to fly again?
Huh? No way.
I flew, got thrown around, fell,
and landed in the hospital.
If that didn't teach me, I'm an idiot.
I'll say.
Oh hey, this hospital's got
some hot nurses, yeah?
Land yourself in here too!
Maybe I will!
Hi, Soga.
Oh? Where are your friends?
This don't involve them.
Aw, but all three of you need to know this.
It's been in the news, you know.
BREAKING: BLOODBATH AT CRIMINAL GANG'S HEADQUARTERS
"Bloodbath at Criminal Gang's
Headquarters in Danto Ward."
They said, "It looked like a
scene straight out of hell."
You guys are being targeted by a scary
murderer who wiped out a yakuza gang!
You've got to join forces and fight back!
Drop the act. It's pissing me off.
What I'm sayin' is, I'll take
on this murderer alone!
Cool, cool. You don't want
to drag your buds into this.
Well, being highly motivated's a good thing.
And I guess the whole "fighting to
protect what's important" thing works.
You can stop now.
That's enough playing around.
I'll slay him and move on to the next.
So, yeah, he's primed to kill too.
Okay, Soga. If you lose,
Rapt and Moyuru get offed as well.
Fight like your life depends on it.
Ciao.
Things ain't gonna go the way you guys want.
Come get some, you masked freak.
I don't need drugs to deal with you.
These'll do just fine!
Oh yeah?
That's boring.
So boring that I'm gonna juice things up.
Go for broke, you two.
Yeah, she's like the rest.
With that big grin on her face.
Soga hurt Minoru!
That's right.
Mommy said I'm not allowed to play with you.
It's always the same!
You get into fights day after day.
They have a word for people
like you: "villain."
People who discriminate piss me off.
Don't judge me by my appearance!
These people are always
I'm sorry.
grinning while they
turn me turn me
into a monster!
What's that sound? A scream?
You've shown your true colors.
Die, villain.
Stop right there!
I'm the guy who heard a cry of grief
The Crawler!
Wait, what? Huh?
Mr. Stendhal?!
Th-Those spikes
He's the Legendary Alum.
Soga Kugizaki!
Kugizaki
Soga?!
He used Trigger again.
Stand aside, Crawler.
I'll fell that villain.
"Fell"?
I mean, sure, this guy is bad news.
That is, he practically is a villain,
but you two should really try
to talk things—
He's actually trying to kill him!
Not on my watch!
Ow, ow, ow! That's stabby!
Why don't you retract these spikes?!
Don't interfere, Crawler!
There's no value in saving that man.
Creeping through the darkness to his
death would be a fitting end for him.
Well, you're probably right
But still!
Wh-Whadda you think you're doing?
Trying to get away, duh!
Like there's any other choice!
Got to get to a crowded main street!
Well, then
Even if an action is born of goodness,
it would seem those who side
with evil are evil.
STOP
I can't move..
Judgment: Stendhal. Quirk: Bloodcurdle.
Quirk: Bloodcurdle
By licking someone's blood,
he can immobilize them.
You're through, villains.
Heaven's judgment is going
to put you six feet under.
No one will save you wrongdoers.
No one will worry about you.
No one will take the slightest notice.
Not now, not here.
Nope, think again!
I'm here!
I-It's you
M-Master!
You there. Your name's Stendhal?
I hear you helped out my boy there.
The Naruhata Vigilante, Knuckleduster.
I do not wish to fight you.
We follow the path of righteousness
in this twisted society.
Our goal is the same, you and—
No way is it the same.
I'm a badass hero of justice.
You're some crazy slasher.
So, I can't get you to
understand me. Too bad.
Don't you mean, too bad you lost
your chance for a surprise attack?
It's obvious you've been sizing me up.
It's easy to say, "One more step,
and I can hit him."
But if I'm too far away, your first swing
will miss, leaving you vulnerable.
And if I'm too close, you're within
my range. It's tricky, huh?
But I'm a nice guy.
I'll simplify things!
A wire?
If you give up and leave now, great.
The moment you cross that line,
that's when you get to taste these!
Ah, so that's what your range is.
It's worth pointing out
that you're an iron wall.
If you focus all your
attention on countering,
it completely offsets the
advantage my weapon gives me.
My only choice is to fall back!
But I will cross it!
My running ability is far above average.
He can't possibly nail the timing of
my charge when he's never seen it!
Besides, a hero
A hero is an exceptional being!
He stands apart from
common sense. Beyond it.
He steps over the line!
Uh, hey M-Master?
You just said, "Don't cross this line."
Hey, doesn't mean I can't cross it.
Hmph. He puts on a mask
and becomes someone else.
You run into guys like that now and then.
They put on a mask or a disguise, and they're
convinced they're no longer their usual selves.
They think they're some unbeatable superman.
Guys like that are trouble,
because they ignore social mores
and their own safety when they come at you.
But they're also fragile
when you come at them.
"I'm just a flesh-and-blood
human too, in the end."
Someone who's forgotten that ultimately
doesn't have much resolve.
I see.
I understand now.
Even more wicked than villains are
those without resolve, who pretend.
Sham heroes.
Master!
Yes, yes. Ahh, it's so true!
I have been enlightened!
I appreciate you showing me the way!
Ow!
Koichi! I heard you got hurt?!
Are you all right?!
Ow! The disinfectant stings!
It's a minor wound. Didn't cut his tendon.
You go see to him, girl.
"Him"?
Are you okay, Soga?
I guess there're some scary
people in this world, huh?
I'm just glad we both
got through that alive.
Ow, ow!
Feh!
What's "feh" supposed to mean?
Didn't I save you?
Why're you asking me?
Hey, what the hell's his deal?
He nearly got killed,
and now he's all smiles.
Is he nuts or somethin'?
He's not nuts.
He's an idiot!
I see how it is.
Power. Speed. Armaments. Tactics.
Right now there are
too many things I lack.
What I lack most of all is
Yes, it's resolve!
In my own opinion, I think one's work
and life should both be entertaining.
And I have to say, your "resolve" might
be the most entertaining thing ever.
Shut up!
This will do.
I have no mask anymore.
My mask of vanity is broken.
I discard my false face,
and this time I behold the truth
of this world with uncovered eyes.
No falsehood, no truth,
and no limits to exceed.
Everything is right here,
blending together into chaos.
There he goes again, talking
to himself all cryptic.
What a narcissist.
Not that I mind, though.
It's entertaining.
I am a faceless ideology.
Action without existence.
A color that dyes the world.
The blood I shed, the blood I bleed,
is proof of its importance.
Behind me, a path remains.
Indelible bloodstains that show the way!
To protect themselves, people formed
groups and fought outsiders.
It was supposed to be about justice.
Next time, "Makoto/Truth."
From a different point of view, those groups
are merely powerful legalized violence.
How you doin'?
