POLICE STATION
It has already begun, huh?
Shut up.
There aren't many guards today.
It's pretty obvious what's happening.
For this very day,
I had been searching...
for a seed which had been born warped and distorted.
Warped seeds that can become vessels.
ORIGINAL STORY BY KOHEI HORIKOSHI
The flames won't dissipate.
Dad!
Come with me to Sekoto Peak on your next day off!
Something amazing happened! Make sure you come!
I doubt Shoto can even achieve what I've achieved!
I might even rival All Might!
I won't cry...
Damn it.
Dad,
why aren't you coming?
Dad...
It's hot!
I can't put out the flames!
It's hot! It's so hot!
No, I don't want to die.
I haven't...
been able to show him anything.
That kid was also born a little warped.
No...
Not just a little...
Perhaps his entire being
was distorted to begin with.
Where am I?
GET WELL SOON, SLEEPYHEAD
I'm still alive?
Why?
Sleepyhead is awake.
Teacher! Sleepyhead woke up!
Teacher!
Where am I?
Was that my voice?
This is our house.
Sleepyhead,
you've been sleeping for... three years!
I just joined recently, so I don't know the details,
but I heard from Teacher.
Three years?
What? What happened?
What's happening?
I burned at Sekoto Peak and then...
I have to go back!
You can't.
Why?
You're going to live here from now on.
You'll stay here with your new family.
You'll fit in right away.
Hold on, I have to go back home.
My dad...
probably couldn't visit because he was busy with work.
I'm sure he's worried about me.
I did something horrible
and said mean things.
I have to apologize to Mom and the rest
and show Dad what I can do...
- I'm going to be a hero... -Unfortunately,
that won't be possible anymore.
It was extremely difficult to repair the body parts that had burned off.
Your missing body parts were compensated by regenerative tissues.
You have a completely different face,
but you survived.
I don't understand
what you're saying. I'm a different person?
You can't use your power the way you did before.
There's been damage to your organs,
and your sense of pain and sensory system have become dull.
Your body has weakened,
and it will never return to its original form.
We wanted to welcome you back in perfect form.
We did our best,
but unfortunately, we failed.
It must be difficult. We feel bad for you.
But... I can help restore your flames back to their original form.
What do you say? Why don't you become a part of our family
and allow yourself to be taught by us?
Shut up.
What?
I...
will not be taught by anyone else.
The only person who can teach me...
is Dad and only Dad!
You shouldn't do that.
Be quiet! Shut up!
Shut up!
He was set too firmly in his ways for us to teach him.
He was overly consumed with anger.
Even the man who has control over everything, everywhere,
couldn't get in between the kid
and his obsession with his father.
There are spares just in case something happens to Tomura Shigaraki.
A seedbed of fierce hatred.
Vessel for the Demon King.
Dabi was one of such spares.
But he turned out to be a failure.
How depraved.
What is it? What are you trying to say?
Is this some lame spiel about how everything was planned out by All For One?
I'm just telling you to be cautious.
He...
takes no part in our beliefs and views.
I have to go back.
I have to go home.
We let him go on his own
because the moment Dabi woke up and became active,
he wasn't supposed to survive more than a month.
That's why...
I currently go by the name Dabi.
I was shocked when he was brought in by our broker.
Why did he come back? How was he still alive?
I wanted to find out his true intentions,
so I arranged a private moment for the two of us.
Ujiko,
you're the one who saved me, right?
You were aware of that? I'm happy to know that.
How have you been surviving until now?
Seeing this breathing corpse
gives me an idea of what you guys
wanted to do with me.
I came back because this is the perfect place for my funeral.
That one glance explained everything.
He had kept his dying body alive
by a raging flame of resentment.
Hey, Shoto.
The truth is, I went back home once.
My body was weaker than before,
and I knew that I could never have what I hoped for.
But I just wanted to be seen again.
I think
I was just hoping that things had changed.
I wanted to see
the reason I was born.
But...
after three years, seeing the unchanging scenery taught me
that my existence was futile, I was a failed project,
and that family had left me behind as something in the past.
When you surpass your limitations,
everything you've built until that point is reversed.
Ever since that day, I worked hard to train using my flames.
I didn't want to be weak when we had our reunion.
I didn't feel a thing even when my flesh scorched and crumbled away.
I had ways to observe all of his techniques.
Shoto, he's...
He was planning to die, from the very beginning.
Every single time that thing saved the city,
every time that thing achieved fame,
my heart was pounding
ever since
the day I died and Dabi was born.
Heat...
is energy that's born
when living things rise up and create movement.
He's of no use to All For One, who strives to live forever.
That heat is single-mindedly rushing towards death.
Even the Demon King abandoned
that crazily obsessive flame of death.
I will burn all that's precious to that thing.
That will be the proof of my existence.
I already said that I won't allow it.
Stupid big brother!
SHOTO TODOROKI
Ultimate Move: Flashfire Fist.
The wielder raises their temperature as high as possible and concentrates it
before releasing it.
It's the height and epitome of fire attained by young Endeavor.
When he attained this during his search for power,
Endeavor understood his own limitation.
And that fire...
created a heat haze
that distorted his vision of the future.
All right, all right.
Talking to you got me all excited again.
Thanks for listening.
He's raising his temperature a lot faster than me.
He's not hesitating at all.
Now that I've had time to calm down and think about it,
fighting against you instead of Dad really stirs the fire within me.
I am going to stop you.
Don't misunderstand me.
I have something against you too!
I began by regaining the flame that had weakened.
All I knew was how to increase firepower.
"Quality that surpasses mine".
Those words from Dad gave me encouragement.
The senses in my body had dulled, so I felt no limitations.
I watched and imitated how to release power.
Flashfire Fist.
You like All Might, Shoto?
It's coming!
Hell Spider!
This is Endeavor's move!
But it's thicker and careless.
I don't even know what Toya likes.
Todoroki.
Shoto, are you ready?
Yes!
He's fast! Was the Hell Spider a distraction?
I want to ask you one thing, Shoto.
How were you able
to stay holed up in UA with all the scared civilians?
You're Endeavor's son and Dabi's brother.
You're nothing but a congealed block of disaster.
It's that kind of impudent audacity I'm talking about, Shoto!
Shoto!
His firepower is stronger than Endeavor's.
But if he keeps moving like that...
You were blessed with the best circumstances
and the ultimate body,
but you relied on others!
You were born with everything, but you didn't take advantage of it!
Since no one is telling you this,
I'll be the one to tell you,
you wavering, half-assed puppet!
You'll never make anything of yourself!
Jet Burn!
That's right. You're absolutely right.
I'm nothing but a half-assed guy
taking the roundabout way and constantly getting lost.
That's who I am.
My heat is being neutralized?
I thought your mind was filled with thoughts of Dad.
But I'm glad you were paying attention to me too.
This is something I acquired
while training in order to keep up with everyone.
Flashfire.
I developed Flashfire on my own.
It's a move made to stop you.
Shoto, let's reconsider our locations again.
Then what about All For One?
It's just like how you're the only one
among the remaining Heroes who can fight All For One.
Just like how Midoriya must stop Shigaraki.
My power is most suited to fight against Toya.
And it's what I want to do.
This is my responsibility.
It's ours!
We will each do what we can,
and all of us will stop
Toya and the Villains.
Let me tell you something as your half-assed younger brother.
Dad was insane!
Our family was messed up!
But...
you chose to burn people to death!
Todoroki, you're going to fight against Dabi?
Everyone, finish up in 30 minutes!
It's what I want. No need to worry.
Dad will probably make a fuss about not being able to fulfill his promise.
Maybe preventing Dad from fighting against Dabi is a part of his punishment.
Hawks and the rest made the right choice.
Dabi is our family's sin.
Plus, this is a road I have to cross
if I want to achieve my goals.
This move will help me overcome those obstacles.
This is what you were working on?
It's something different
from the Flashfire Fist!
Oh, right. You left for a while, so you didn't know about this.
This thing
isn't hot even when you touch it. See, isn't it amazing?
But it's hard to maintain it. It won't last long.
I can continue fighting a lot longer than you, got it, shrimpy?
I manifest the Flashfire
by using both my right and left sides,
simultaneously centered around my heart.
The heated and chilled blood circulate through my body,
creating stability.
It's hot and cold meshing together.
It's like a cold flame.
Dad wanted ice in order to lower his inner temperature.
I will do the opposite,
so that I can personally affirm
the reason why I was born into that family.
It's your own power!
Midoriya.
This is my power. Thank you.
Don't take away any more innocent lives!
Flashfire Fist!
Phosphor!
Icebound Crash
Coldflame's Pale Blade.
If you want to lash out your anger, take it all out on us!
Maybe that'll cool your head a little!
He has a body that can withstand this scorching heat
and the power to cool my blazing heat.
I guess that means you're my most ideal opponent.
You even preach about the right and wrong choices,
just as I expected.
Although we share the same blood, we are made differently.
I lost it. I have to turn it back on.
A warped rail can never mingle with a straight road.
This is the limitation of the superhuman society.
That's what we are!
We'll never be on the same wavelength.
Burn and die! For all of us!
Shoto...
Everything you said is right.
This heat is hot enough to even burn me.
I'm sorry.
Didn't I tell you
to stop wasting your energy on apologies?
Thank you very much!
Even a simple word like this...
It was a road that required me to reclaim so many things.
A bloodline created by greed. And my past.
It's okay.
Don't let anything hold you back.
It's okay for you to become whoever you want to be.
By the time I came to that realization,
I thought everyone would be far ahead,
unlike me who had been unable to move on.
But...
all of them were right there, all along.
Class A
never left anyone behind.
They always reassured me.
Your Ultimate Move is your own symbol.
Your moves display your capabilities.
Store and release.
It's concentrated power.
Store...
We will mingle. I'll make sure of it.
So...
please stop.
Great Glacial Aegir.
