Is that dark form Shigaraki?
An invisible wall!
It's keeping me out!
But I'm so close!
That's not your grandma.
It was a brute who abandoned her child.
You want to know what a hero is?
It's someone who hurts their own family, so they can go save strangers.
I see now. He didn't keep the photo because he wanted to.
Don't go, Mom!
He just could never bring himself to throw it out!
The hurt I caused had spread all the way to Shigaraki.
If only I'd beaten All For One and gone back home...
I'm sorry, Kotaro.
Ms. Shimura!
For being weak.
I'm sorry, Kotaro.
That I couldn't come back to you.
I'm sorry.
It was Grandma's fault.
No...
What happened?
I can't take it anymore...
Mon...
I hate them all...
This feeling...
I sensed the same thing at Jaku.
Shigaraki!
Mon?
This is where Decay first emerged.
Tenko...
Look... I'm sorry... I didn't mean it.
No way, so that's how it went.
What happens after this is at the core of it all.
What's wrong?
This is where we settle things!
It's a world where memories become real!
Imagine! Don't let go!
Keep imagining these hands!
I smashed all of One For All into him!
Now I'll hit him with myself!
Why?
Because...
you're crying!
No I'm not.
Tenko's emotions are surging into me!
I... I chose this.
I destroyed this house on purpose.
I destroyed my family.
Otherwise, what are these hands of mine for?
Who can validate my being born this way?
I'm being repelled!
No! Don't let go of him!
Intense hatred and catharsis.
Sadness and confusion!
Tenko is still wavering!
Let go of my hands!
Back then, maybe...
had someone... taken my hand...
It might be that the only way to stop him is to kill him.
I don't know what I should do specifically yet, but...
When others...
When others took me by the hand...
it gave me peace!
That's why... I am here!
That's why... I've come!
That's why... it'll be okay!
It'll be okay!
This guy's feelings...
are flowing into me.
My hatred's falling apart!
Just...
Just from this!
That sure was fun!
Mikkun.
Tomo.
This time you be All Might, Ten!
Nah.
I'm a villain.
I do evil stuff. I destroy.
Even if you try to shatter my hatred and leave me empty.
I have to be...
I have to be their hero.
Go on, ruin it all.
Wreck this stupid world.
Destroy it for me, Tomura Shigaraki.
Shigaraki is...
Shigaraki's fingers are crumbling!
What's going on inside?
What's happened to Deku?
Mr. Shimura.
Oh! You're that Koga Construction guy!
Is your back bothering you?
It hurts more every year.
I could refer you to a good doctor.
Eh, it's not bad enough to go to that trouble.
What?
What are these memories?
I've never seen them.
How is your son doing?
Well, he is a handful...
This isn't Tenko's memory?
Has his Quirk emerged?
No, not yet.
This isn't mine.
Who is this guy?
Oh, you foolish vessel!
You would yield your mind to this nobody of a boy?
Imagining yourself strong when you're weak.
Oh, foolish Tenko Shimura.
When none of the choices you've ever made have been your own.
Izuku Midoriya.
How dare you do that to my One For All, to my Yoichi?
And yet, Tenko's psychological defeat here in the unconscious realm
allowed me to regain my own consciousness.
Foolish Tenko Shimura!
With your pure superego.
A weakling who can't bear to part with his half-witted life!
And after I went to the trouble of guiding you!
I don't understand what you're saying, Master.
I told you, you're never made a single choice of your own.
Yes, I have.
These are my choices.
Had I not made you think so, you would have had no willpower.
It was vital to redirect your free will.
Lariat—Daigoro Banjo.
Smoke-Eater—En Tayutai.
My two encounters with them taught me.
To take back One For All, one must have stronger willpower than the wielder.
While All Might had me on the run, I searched.
For a soul that could one day diminish his willpower.
For that most intense emotion.
The mental process that arises to put the brakes on the id—the wellspring of the libido.
I sought a seedbed for fermenting the primordial urge to hate.
It seems clear enough to me.
A hero won't show up when you really need saving these days.
Kids need siblings so they can watch each other's backs.
His daughter was too old already,
and I had to make sure I was never caught.
I couldn't do anything that stood out.
All I did was give him a push.
I stole the still-undetected factor you had inherited from your parents.
I saw to it your father grew ever more heavy-handed.
I gave you something to aspire to.
And then...
You must be Mr. Shimura's son, right?
I'm an acquaintance of your father's.
There's a lot of traffic around here, and it's dangerous.
Why don't you hold my hand for a bit?
I took one of the Quirk samples the Doctor had collected at an orphanage,
stripped out its reversibility, and gave you an inferior copy
that only had the power to destroy.
You mean...
Yes.
The tragedies.
The trials.
The rejection.
The acceptance.
I gave you this. All of it!
What do you mean, your "heart won't change"?
Shame on you!
Get the hell out of my body!
I'll kill Tomura's mind and eradicate it completely.
I was only going to play that card after I'd retaken One For All, but now...
All For One!
Yoichi is gone now.
I can no longer achieve that mid-term goal.
Tomura's cries.
It must be his last vestige.
Silence, you.
Though I see his mental damage has also hurt his body.
Decay... His anger and hatred have vanished.
He must be dead.
I'm deprived of the vessel for which I frantically searched so many years,
and of my brother.
So, next...
All... For... One.
I'll move on to my hollow final goal.
Namely, the world.
I won't let—
I see both our bodies were affected.
It's not over!
Not yet!
I'm going to establish the narrative that loss makes a person stronger.
It's inevitable that a kid with nothing to lose in the first place would end up like this.
Ser—
So trivial.
Enough so that Midoriya's mere presence drowned him out.
Midoriya!
We're here to help!
Twirling Tail Dance!
Sugar Knuckle!
Sero.
Ojiro.
Sato.
You're all okay...
Midoriya!
From Aizawa
Sorry this took so long.
Ten minutes ago
Comms aren't working.
We don't know what's happening, dammit!
Wake up!
You're the one who brought us here!
Where the hell are we?
I... am the one who will protect Tomura Shigaraki.
You picked a fine time to break down!
Work again, you bastard!
We never should've left our fate in this thing's hands!
We shouldn't have relied on this carcass!
Wait.
I see tears.
I'm not crying. Boys don't cry!
Not you.
Him.
It's just rain! It's got no tear ducts!
This thing's a Nomu!
It took you out of play because you've foiled Shigaraki twice!
Our priority right now is to activate this and get us back to the action!
Then right after, we'll break it so it'll never run again!
Aizawa, this here is illicit loot.
You'd best forget about that miracle in Tartarus!
We're 31 now.
We can't go on being U.A.'s Class 2-A forever.
But he was still a U.A. student when he died.
Why didn't he tear us to pieces?
Or drop us to our deaths?
That day in Tartarus, we popped the cork on his light.
When it blended in, he broke.
No matter how much light you pour in, there'll still be some darkness.
But darkness is the opposite way, which is why he started working again.
I get it, Yamada.
We're hero course teachers.
We get U.A. students across the graduation finish line.
No matter how many years go by.
If that's where our origins lie...
Y-Yamada...
The memories...
ain't gonna disappear!
Mr. Tsukauchi!
Eraser? You're all right?
Where have you been?
Is Monoma still in action?
He took a hard blow to the head, and is en route to a hospital.
Then please give me sitreps, a list of everyone who's still active, and their coordinates.
Coordinates? You mean...
That's right.
Eraser Head! How'd you get here?
We're able to use Kurogiri now!
He's standing by off-site, with Mic.
Please round up all heroes on evac guard duty who aren't defense specialists.
You're using Kurogiri? But if you lose control of him...
I don't know how long it'll last!
Make it quick!
We can jump straight into battle?
Then I'm in. Let me at 'em.
Me too!
I'm not famous, but I'm still a hero!
Let me join in the fight!
Go to the main entrance.
Hey!
Could you let an injured hero use this?
Thank you.
The fighting is nearly entirely under control.
The last holdout is at Takoba National Stadium.
That's the Jailbreaker notorious for controlling the field during very lengthy battles.
Gashly Eijiju.
We're here to help!
Present time
And now...
Divide and Conquer, Phase 3!
Come to have your Quirks stolen?
It should have smashed All For One to pieces when I struck Tenko's mind.
So what's the deal with this guy?
Midoriya!
Sir...
Don't try to move.
How long ago did you lose your arms?
I don't know... how much time passed...
while I was inside his mind.
Several minutes ago
Mr. Aizawa!
Eri...
I know you teachers would never take me somewhere dangerous.
And so...
Please take this to Mr. Deku!
You broke off your horn?
Why? And how?
I asked for some help.
Ectoplasm!
Sorry.
But she's learned much from you about rational and irrational acts.
I know because I learned from you teachers how my power works.
I'm sure it will still work, even just this piece.
After all, it's a part of me!
But if you take this rough approach, you might damage your Quirk itself.
I wanted to do this for Mr. All Might, and for Mr. Kacchan, but I couldn't!
I want to sing.
Mr. Aizawa, Mr. Deku and the others made things fun for me,
so I'm going to sing for them once today is over.
So, even if it isn't much,
let me fight too!
You'll probably only be able to Rewind by two or three minutes at the most.
You can't die until you get to hear Eri sing.
I'm sure everyone agrees with me on this.
Even if we think we can't move another muscle,
if we hear that Midoriya's still kicking butt...
somehow we just keep on going!
Preview
Here's the preview.
Everyone has shown up.
I may have transferred One For All, but an ember still remains.
Run.
Hand in hand with your friends, get them all to help, and run.
Run!
Next time, "Izuku Midoriya Rising."
All to break the chain of sadness.
Izuku Midoriya Rising
Go beyond!
Plus Ultra!
