My Hero Academia: Vigilantes (2025) s01e11 Episode Script

1
The Naruhata branch of Marukane Department
Store was damaged by a large villain,
and it's currently being remodeled.
Marukane
The store is going to hold a
commemorative reopening event,
and Pop has agreed to perform
there as part of an ensemble.
She's meeting the other members today,
and I'm accompanying her as her manager.
Pop's been so nervous that
I can't let her go it alone,
and there's always a chance another
villain will show up to cause trouble.
And, oh yeah, Master also
told me to help her out.
Found you.
Nice to see you're doing well.

The Day Of
Hello there!
Here we are!
Welcome, Koichi, Pop.
We're doing the meet and
greet in a room like this?
Meeting Room B
Reserved for
Naruhata Festival
planning meeting
That's right. We'll also use
this space on the day of.
But I need to go ahead and introduce you.
These two are the underground
idol duo FeatherS.
I'm Miu, of FeatherS!
I'm Yu!
H-Hi, I'm Pop☆Step.
Oh, and I'm her manager!
Well, the rest of the ensemble
members should be here soon,
so just sit tight for now.
What's with her, showing up in
street clothes like some yokel?
Is she clueless?
Come on, stop that.
I mean, look
Pardon us!
We're the Naruhata East High Dance
Squad, and we'll be part of the show.
Hi, good to have you.
Hold on
It says in the consent paperwork that
you don't have any stage costumes.
Would you like us to prepare you something?
There is no need!
East High
The Naruhata East High Dance Squad knows
that dance is all about expressive movement.
We are clad in heart,
technique, and strength.
Captain
Costumes would only mar our performance.
We have no need of showy outfits!
Screw this noise!
The MAD HATTERS are a rock band!
So we need to make music that causes a stir!
Yet here we are doing this kiddie stuff.
How can we play some dumbass store jingle?
I have no idea who you are, but
if you're not up to this, get—
JOL
Holy crap.
I think I might've just found
something more important than rock.
Whoa, what's gotten into you?
I I want to look pretty!
Captain?!
On it! Pretty costumes, check.
2 members
1 member
Now then, here you see the makeup of
Naruhata Fest's special ensemble.
Temp ensemble name: The Marukanes
MAD HATTERS 4 members
East High Dance Squad 4 members
FeatherS 2 members
Pop☆Step 1 member
I assume there're no problems
with the band or the dancers,
but the combo of FeatherS and Pop☆Step
is going to require some thought.
If we place Pop in the center, it'll
make for good visual balance.
Hey! That means we're just backup singers!
Besides, this girl can't sing all that well.
True.
Ouch, she just admitted it.
But Pop has far better stage presence.
FeatherS typically plays in small venues,
so do you have much experience
in utilizing a large space?
Right, let's put a pin in this for now.
Over the next week, Pop will
practice the song on her own.
We'll have the dance squad coach FeatherS
on basic dance steps and stage movement.
This'll be the hardest
training you've ever had.
Yeesh.
Now, 2 weeks prior: The song, costumes
1 week prior: @ Individual practice, deciding on positioning
Day of the event: Finalizing stage layout, dress rehearsal
When we're one week away, we'll check
on the results for both parties,
and decide on positioning.
We'll iron out the remaining details,
then get ready for the performance.
Okay?
Ms. Tsukauchi, we need to discuss
how the program will be set up.
Please also look over the equipment list.
Okay, I'll be right there.
The four HATTERS need to stick
around so we can go over the song.
Oh, sure!
Everyone else, I'll get
in touch with you later.
Okay!
That's all for today!
Oh, and yes, I forgot to mention this.
All eleven of you are the
stars of this event.
Oh, Makoto sent the song data!
I've got to practice!
Hey, you're plenty motivated.
I do hope you get to sing in the center.
I mean, the way I do things
If I'm just bouncing around off to the
side, it'll look like I don't fit in.
Yeah.
Well, feel free to practice
over here as much as you like.
Sure.
Pick up the pace!
Look alive, people!
You can do better!
How's it goin'?
Come on down
Hope you're doin' well
Come on down
Hope all y'all can make it
Hey
I'm going to bed now.
No! I need you to listen!
Another monstrous one's shown up!
This time it's a caterpillar
like you'd see in a movie!
Oh!
He is Captain Celebrity!
I've got one thing to say to
everyone in the audience.
It's only ten days until the Naruhata Festival,
a Marukane/C.C. joint venture!
Use the search term "Narufest"!
Hey! Narufest is happening!
Got flyers here!
Take a flyer with ya!
We got plenty!
Marukane, Marukane
Why not come on down?
Come on!
Marukane
One week prior to the event
Huh? She got hurt?!
During dance training?
That's right.
Thankfully it's just a minor sprain,
so she should be able to
take the stage in a week,
but running or dancing
is out of the question.
This all happened on my watch.
No, I'm the responsible party.
I thought having a challenge
would get everyone fired up,
but I guess it backfired.
These things happen.
We could put Pop in the center,
and not have the other two move around much.
Or we could have Miu sit it out, and
make Pop and Yu an improvised duo.
But I practiced so hard.
Miu
What? Put Miu in the center?
Well, she can't move around much, right?
I suppose doing it this way is an option.
The center position is center stage.
Which means, it's the spot where you
can get away with the least movement.
If Yu moves around twice as much,
so there's a contrast between stillness
and motion, things won't get boring.
When things slow down for
transitions and such,
Pop can make up for it by bouncing
around and drawing attention.
It would mean a bigger burden on Pop and Yu.
Are you okay with that?
If I got injured, I'd just be a
tone-deaf girl who can't jump.
But Miu and Yu can sing well,
and hopping around is where I shine.
We should all do what we do best!
Right, let's all go over
what we'll do onstage.
Okay.
What a great girl.
Yeah.
She sure is.
For the formation, let's make good
use of Pop's vertical movements.
The captain's hair She
really does feel responsible.
"Short hair looks good on you too."
But I can't tell her that right now.
I'll save it for after the show.
Oh hey, captain. Did you cut your hair?
You really lopped a bunch of it off, huh?
The short look works well for you, too.
Oh. Huh?
Stupid.
"A competition with Captain
Celebrity and local artists!"
The Naruhata Festival
a Marukane/C.C. Joint Venture
Marukane Grand Reopening!!
"With surprise appearances
by guest heroes?!"
Or so it says.
If there's a hero surprise,
why not throw in a villain surprise too?
P
P-Po
Ah, you want to "come on down" too, do you?
P
P-P
Pop!
That's right, let's go cheer for Pop.

Naruhata
Ahh, Naruhata sprinkles dim the neon lights
Yeah!
That stylish number was enka master
Harusaburo Nanboku's super long-running hit,
"Yearning for Naruhata." Thank you!
Now, sorry to "rain on your parade"
when you're having such a good time!
\h\h\h\h\hVoice Hero
Present Mic
But that marks the end of
our daytime program block!
Guest heroes will be here
for our evening block,
and our first performer will
be—hailing from Naruhata itself—
the ultra-fresh song &
dance troupe, FeatherHATS!
An extravaganza of song and dance!
Naruhata's idols will bring a smile to your face!
Where future stars are born!
The daytime block has ended!
Thirty minutes until we go on!
Wow, this has gotten really big.
This has gotten really big.
It's okay, it's okay.
Don't say something half-assed!
Everyone calm down!
Remember your training!
All that sweaty effort will pay off!
Let's all just take a deep breath.
Who's that?
The dance squad captain.
Oh, right. Now that you say it
I know we can do this.
You're so pretty,
my Cinderella with a bob cut.
Today I'll make you lose track
of time with my guitar.
Once the hands of the clock stop,
her radiance will become a
spell that's never broken.
Captain! It's like they say,
fine feathers make fine birds.
Koichi! That's not a compliment!
Huh?
Oh, it's not?
Sleaze.
Nice.
I like what I'm seeing here!
That's youth, the way it should be!
\hR-Rated Hero
Midnight
It's R-Rated Hero: Midnight!
Cool! And sexy!
I apologize. Space limitations kept us
from preparing individual greenrooms.
That's fine, I don't mind this "backstage
at the school festival" vibe.
Yo, yo, yo!
Good evening, Midnight!
Oh! "Evening"? "Midnight"?
See how confusing that is?!
Knock it off, Yamada.
No, no, no. Not "Yamada."
Please call me "Mic."
My name is Present Mic.
Oh, sorry.
So, Yamada, where's Aizawa today?
You did tell him they wanted as many heroes
involved with the mass villain
outbreaks as possible to show up?
Of course, the most famous
of us aren't here.
Dumb and pointless.
I couldn't rearrange my schedule.
He can't possibly make it.
Hey, you know I followed through.
And he said, "I'll make it if I can."
Doesn't that mean he's not gonna show?
Yes, yes, I'll be there.
I'm on my way now.
I'm hanging up,
since this is a waste of time.
Although honestly, I'd rather not go.
I'm not into public self-promotion.
And holding events for urban
renewal isn't rational anyway.
If it's for the local area,
just collect donations.
What a pain.
At least if a villain popped
up somewhere nearby,
I'd have an excuse for ditching this.
There's a villain!
I don't know who it could be,
but I didn't think anyone
would take me seriously!
Help me!
Po P-Po
He moves like he can't
control that huge body.
Must not have been born this way.
It's either a transformation-type Quirk,
or he's one of those instant villains.
They get those a lot around here.
Pardon me, I'm the pro hero Eraser Head.
Your Quirk appears to be out of control.
I'm afraid I'll have to keep you
under wraps until the police arrive.
His body's not changing,
even though I used Erasure.
Is this just how he's shaped, as opposed
to a temporary transformation?
He got out of the binding cloth?!
Must be due to that mucus on his skin.
Physical strikes fail, too.
He's more trouble than I expected.
Then again
If you don't change shape,
it's possible to catch you in a net.
Pop!
Yes, yes.
Try a little harder, so Pop
can find out how you feel.
What the!
Quirk: Electric Eel
Oh, no! The flash blinded me!
Whoa, far out!
As powerful as lightning!
Way to go, Teruo!
Now I can get a good sample.
I'd better go collect it.
But first, I can't pass this chance up.
They're panicking at the venue
over this power outage.
Marukane
Maybe I'll pump 'em full of Trigger doses.
Hachisuka, I told you before.
Such actions aren't worth the cost.
Even if they were, there are risks
when they cart away a test subject,
and this could potentially mean the
end of our experiments in Naruhata.
Aw, what's the harm in going
a little wild sometimes?
And for the record, I can't stand lectures.
You can't stand lectures?
Who can blame you?
I doubt anyone out there enjoys them.
Browbeating never works on
someone at your difficult age.
I understand that all too well.
Let's keep this as brief as possible.
What do you think you're doing, old man?
We're going home, Tamao.
Your mother's waiting for you.
What're you talking about?
"Going home"? "Waiting"?
I have no clue what you mean.
Shut your trap, bee user!
I don't mean you, I mean Tamao Oguro.
I'm speaking to my daughter!
So, that's why you're armed with a stun gun?
So you don't injure your sweet little girl?
Well, hell.
This is super-easy mode!
What's the point if you
just hit me with your fist?!
I'd rather not hit you with the stun gun.
After all, this one's a deluxe model.
High voltage, high amperage.
A light touch to a limb
will leave you senseless.
A hit to your chest will stop your heart.
You're bluffing.
You sent out some worker bees.
Flying syringes.
They're filled with poison,
downers, or uppers.
But no matter what chemicals they're packing,
it's faster to take down the queen bee!
Moron! Those are deluxe models!
They're loaded with chemicals
all right. Explosives!
Enjoy my swarm of bomb bees!
They'll blow you to bits!
Now you're bluffing.
Only the first one amounted to a bomb.
The rest are just fireworks to scare me.
It must take quite a toll on the host.
You can only use so many bombs,
and you've got no other effective ammo
if you're relying on scare tactics.
That's what that tells me!
You old bastard!
Gotta catch me first, jerk!
First fireworks, and now tag?
That's fine.
I'll play your little game of cat and mouse!
A fierce battle rages as the event proceeds.
One between vigilante and villain.
Father and daughter.
Next time, "Goodbye to Dad."
And the intrigue doesn't end there.
