My Hero Academia: Vigilantes (2025) s01e13 Episode Script

1
Go for it, go for it
It's all yours for the taking
This is such a great recording.
Come on!
You're watching the video again?
And look at all this fan mail!
Three pieces.
And isn't one from Samazu
and Namimaru?
They're always sending you messages.
That's fine. It's different
when it's official snail mail!
That's the "official" method?
I think I'll watch the video again.
Come on!
She's so entertaining.
secret identity
the true person behind the mask of anonymity worn by spies, superheroes, etc.
What a Man Takes with Him
A mantis villain?!
Run!
That's far enough!
I'm the vigilante who pops up
when someone calls for help!
The Crawler!
Help!
Call for a hero! Now!
One's already been summoned.
Good afternoon, people of Naruhata.
Captain Celebrity here.
Hell yeah!
Just kidding.
Enough with the intro!
Captain!
You bailed me out. Thanks
as always, Captain.
I'm the one who should thank you.
It's brave boys like you who're
guarding the peace in this town.
In fact, I'd like to have a chat
with you about ongoing justice.
You got a minute?
Oh, sure.
You know, I'm not so keen on your style,
the way you prod villains and
then get in over your head.
Well, you have a point.
But it's not like everyone has special
abilities the way heroes do.
We ordinary citizens help each other
to the best of our abilities,
and then get help from pros when
it's something that's beyond us.
Isn't that the way things should
work in a society of Quirks?
You've got the right idea there.
If that's how you think, would you
mind acting like an ordinary citizen?
What you're doing goes beyond
"helping each other."
When you play your silly hero games,
it needlessly adds to my workload.
It's really inconvenient, to put it bluntly.
I'm sorry.
Hey, Captain.
Could you show up at the next Narufest?
I don't get paid for that stuff.
And it's hard to rearrange my schedule.
When you put it that way,
it's not like we get paid either.
We're just busting our butts after school.
You guys are doing that stuff for fun.
I'm talking about my job.
Pop.
It'd be faster if you
went straight to Makoto.
He'll just gripe and give you a hard time.
Oh, yeah.
You two don't have enough
respect for pro work.
Now, now.
On that note,
does someone so concerned about his schedule
have time to slack off at my place?
Hey, listen.
Makoto already keeps my
days packed full as it is.
I don't have any time for breaks.
I'll at least take a rest here
when you drop me a line.
I'm fully within my rights!
I don't mind if you take a
breather before you go. Just
Hello.
Oh, Makoto.
Is my boss at your place?
You mean the Captain?
Shh!
He says he's not here.
You!
Oh, really?
No!
Huh?
S-Sorry, girl. I need in.
I'm getting changed!
I'll sue!
No, don't. I can't deal with a lawsuit.
Fancy running into you here, boss.
After I saved the boy,
I brought him back here,
and the enthusiastic kid
insisted I stick around.
I see.
Today's Schedule for Captain Celebrity
Setup with photography staff
On-location commercial shoot
But you've got a commercial shoot,
and interviews with a financial magazine
Today's Schedule for Captain Celebrity
Financial magazine interview
Interview & photo shoot for fashion magazine GQQ
In transit (break)
Dinner party
and a fashion magazine lined
up, so let's get a move on.
Up we go!
And they're gone.
They sure do keep busy.
Well, it is true that we cause trouble
for the Captain and the other heroes.
Maybe we should stay away from
villains who look too strong?
Or more like
It seems lately, there've been
a lot of strong villains.
Or like, it's different from the
Trigger effects we had been seeing.
Some of them are overly ferocious,
or they don't transform back
even when unconscious.
Does that means they're genuine villains?
No drugs involved?
Hmm, I'm not sure.
It's hard to tell with Master not around.
Maybe I should carry some
kind of weapons with me too.
For self-defense, I guess.
Really?
You were saying that sort of thing before,
too, about a sword.
If you actually went and did that,
I don't think it would end well.
There's nothing that says you
have to go fight villains.
You could be more of a freelance sidekick.
Just stick to finding people in trouble
and calling a hero for them.
Got to know your place.
Maybe you're right.
Sure I am.
A new type of villain?
Yes. Perhaps you'd call it a new
variant of instant villain.
Take Teruo Unagisawa, for instance.
Unlike with his first offense,
when we arrested him again,
there'd been a big shift in his
size and physical characteristics.
He doesn't even look like the same person.
Upon examination, a doctor said it
wasn't due to an out-of-control Quirk,
but rather, it's a
semipermanent modification.
Including him, we've detected something
in the blood of the villains
who've been arrested lately in
the Naruhata area: Ideo Trigger
at concentrations well above
what's normally a lethal dose.
You're saying their bodies changed
due to a Trigger overdose?
No, we think it's the opposite.
We suspect someone has artificially
given them the ability
to withstand Trigger overdoses.
In that case, this is
clearly organized crime.
Then what might be this
organization's goal, I wonder.
An instant villain whose reason
has gone out the window
isn't capable of carrying out
an intricately planned crime.
When it comes to this new type,
they can't even run and hide
once their rampage is over.
For all their flashiness,
they're ultimately just disposable pawns.
Which means there's someone
scheming behind the scenes,
all while sacrificing pieces.
Marukane
Ladies and gentlemen!
Thank you for your ongoing support!
This is Narufest, your free community show
hosted by Marukane Department Store!
Our final morning-block song
is Can't Help Loving You
Pop Love
by The Little Sisters,
from Saint Lila's Academy for Girls!
Take it away!
Ready, go!
Love, love, love, love you lots
We never stop moving forward.
So long as we have the
drive to break through,
this loop will once again
lead into the future.
The Naruhata section of the Capital Central
Loop Highway has been fully restored!
Okay! Let's stop here, then overlay
a caption! The timing's perfect!
That should do nicely.
Hmm. Could you back that up a few frames?
See, right before the freeze,
some of my hair is down in my face.
Not a good look, is it?
Well, it's only onscreen for a moment,
and we can CG it out if you like.
Doing a retake would also
ask a lot of Ingenium.
Nah, my legs can handle another.
We're here, we might as
well shoot one more take.
Sorry he's so demanding, Ingenium.
Not at all, he's an international hero.
He doesn't compromise on the job.
You're a pro too. And a lifesaver!
Yes. A lifesaver, indeed.

Listen up.
This is your first time, so you
girls might not quite realize,
but Narufest is more than just your
run-of-the-mill amateur event.
Famous pro heroes show up, and we
take our stagecraft seriously.
Yes, ma'am!
Good.

What?!
The Captain's not coming?!
I tried asking Makoto, but she said
he's shooting a commercial today.
Oh great, I just made an empty promise!
Yeah, I saw.
Um, may I ask which hero will be here?
I-It's a secret! Because it's a surprise!
Miu!
Hi! How's everyone doing?
Oh, Koichi.
Can I have a green room lunch?
There's one extra, right?
Miu, you wouldn't!
So, the intermission is over.
I'd like to introduce today's special guest.
He's Naruhata's own like-a-hero
but not, kinda hero-ish guy!
The Crawler!
Don't look at me!
Do something!
Um
Well, since I'm up here, I'll sing a song.
It's Can't Help Loving You, by Otomezaka 55.
That song?!
It just got sung!
Love, love, love, love you lots
I can't help it!
Whoo!
In this moment I dreamed of
And he doesn't completely suck,
which makes it worse.
We're so sorry!
I hold your hand and think back
No problem, that guy is a trip.
A casual gesture
This is fun!
By the way, when do we get to meet the hero?
Makes my heart tremble
Oh no, this didn't solve the problem.
I want to treasure
Everyone ready on the set!
Scene 21, take 3!
Roll camera!
Ready!
Action!
Boss!
Ingenium! Villain closing on your six!
I see him!
He's big.
And fast!
That visor Is he that
same bat creep from before?
You won't escape!
I-Ingenium Just give up.
You lose.
Fall to your death!
Those two are next.
Hey!
Ingenium!
I'm fine! Please chase down that villain!
Will do!
Looks like he's got me
matched in speed, at least.
I won't catch up at this rate!
C.C., please maintain pursuit.
We'll request help from heroes in the
metro area to surround the villain.
Aw, wouldn't that make me look incompetent?
Makoto! The boss is griping again!
Boss!
I-I hear him.
Our love speeds up every time we meet
I see the future behind your eyes
I've caught his scent!
The Crawler!
waiting for us
It goes on and on forever
When we meet, love takes root
A villain came out of the sky!
He flew off with somebody!
K-Koichi!
He is Captain Celebrity!
Gotcha! Shouldn't have slowed down, bat guy!
You made for great bait, boy.
You do come in handy sometimes.
Celebrity does it again!
Chris!
You're wonderful!
Hi there, folks!
Big Bro!
Lookin' super good!
Wow, heroes are amazing!
We wanted to meet you!
Good job, Koichi!
Huh? Those are
They're what Master always
wears on his hands.
This cloth is his mask.
Did he forget to take them?
I guess he went off to that
NPO-whatever job of his?
Not that I'm sure the company even exists.
Why would he leave something
behind here, anyway?
I don't know, maybe he came by
specifically to leave them here?
I'm not sure what the point
of that would be, either.
Hmm. Maybe what he's getting at is
he wants these washed. They are kinda dirty.
Or maybe they need maintenance.
Looks like they haven't used the drug.
Master, there haven't been any
Trigger-related incidents at all lately.
You know how it goes, though.
It could pop up again.
Those types die hard, after all.
Hello, is this the police?
Master, care to take a break at
my place once we're done here?
I've got something I have to see to.
Could I leave the rest to you?
Okay, I don't mind.
I appreciate it.
Hi, Koichi.
Oh, Makoto.
Oh, isn't that
Yes, Master's pounder.
"Pounder," eh?
You know, it's high time I got an
interview with that master of yours.
Oh, I don't think he'll stop by today.
I'll let him know once I see him.
We never seem to be here at the same time.
By the way, where's Pop?
Inside. Go ahead.
Thanks.
Hello there!
We received another fan letter!
And here are some performance photos.
Yay!
The videos are getting lots of views, too.
And I hear people are telling
Marukane they missed the show,
or they want us to hold more of them.
Sure thing! I'll do more!
Talk about winning her over.
Who're you?
You look scary.
My hand won't move.
Head hurts.
Where's my dad?
Hey.
You're awake, Tamao?
Thanks a lot.
I'll be in touch.
How do you feel?
Probably not bad, since there's
painkillers in your IV.
Want to try eating something?
My head hurts.
Yeah, not much we can do about the headache.
That's gonna take time.
Well, the best medicine for
you right now is more sleep.
Where's Mom?
You just missed your mom.
Can't see her right now.
But she was happy that you'd come home.
Bringing you back was so worth it.
I can't see her?
For now.
But it's okay, Tamao.
No need to worry.
I'm here.
Hey, Koichi!
Open the door!
What's happening?
Whoa! What's that?
A corkboard? Isn't it a little
big for a home bulletin board?
I'm going to fill it with stuff
like concert pics and fan letters!
Oh, that does sound good.
And I'll hang Master's things here.
That's not the point of this board.
And the recycling schedule.
What'd I just say?!
Hello. Is your master in today?
Human memory isn't reliable.
When it comes to Master, I had this image
of him being the head of my household.
But when I take a good look back,
he was only staying here for
those first few months.
That means my activities
thereafter as The Crawler
were something I did on my own, without him,
but the fact that it kinda
felt like he was still there
must have everything to do with
his strong sense of presence.
Anyway, my own battle still hadn't
even begun at that point.
Nobody even realized that.
But whether people realize it or not,
the hands of the clock keep moving,
and the seasons slowly come and go.
