After the chaos that occurred after superpowers first appeared,
when people first started trying to find peaceful ways to live with them,
a popular ideology started circulating among metahumans.
"Meta powers" "Using meta powers is a right!"
Not suppression, but liberation--
That the freedom to use meta powers was a natural right.
His name was Chikara Yotsubashi.
He called himself Destro, the man who will destroy the present.
Destro brought together liberation advocates
and formed the Metahuman Liberation Army.
"Detnerat"
After confronting the government
and struggling against them for a few years, they were defeated.
Many members were arrested, and the Liberation Army was dissolved.
"Meta Liberation War"
As for Destro, after writing his book in prison, he committed suicide.
Destro himself didn't even know that he had a child.
How are things progressing?
We've found someone with connections to the League.
If we're going to approach them, the sooner the better.
They are enemies of the Liberation Army.
If the government continues to stand by idly and watch,
then we have no choice but to deal with them.
In Destro's name, we will take down the League of Villains.
"Deika City"
It's like the epitome of "provincial."
It's not big, but it's not small...
I like the atmosphere.
It pisses me off.
The so-called Liberation Army has a force of 110,000 here.
"Villain - Mr. Compress - Quirk: Compress"
Once Machia wakes up in an hour and 40 minutes,
he'll chase Shigaraki over here, and once he's here,
he'll run into the Liberation Army.
Then, they'll knock each other out, and we'll win.
But, can we really last that long?
"Villain - Dabi"
Jeez, why do I have to do something so annoying, too?
Giran introduced you to the League, too, right?
What does that have to do with it?
"Villain - Himiko Toga - Quirk: Transform"
You bastard...!
Someone's coming!
Stop!
I have been commanded to be your guide!
"Pro Hero - Slidin' Go"
If you want to speak with the leader of the Liberation Army,
then come with me!
"Villain - Spinner - Quirk: Gecko"
A hero?! Not one I know, though...
There's no one here...
"Villain - Tomura Shigaraki - Quirk: Decay"
I see... This whole city...
That's right!
Huh?
This is Deika City.
This is a liberated district,
where 90% of the population consists of dormant liberation warriors.
Thank you for coming so far to see us!
Today is a day to be celebrated. You are the guests of honor!
Isn't that Hanabata, from the Hearts and Mind Party?
Is he important?
Now, let us begin...
...the Meta Liberation Army revival party!
"Revival Party"
They seriously have 110,000!
"Villain - Twice - Quirk: Double"
It doesn't matter! We're here! Where's Giran?!
If you're talking about the broker,
he's waiting over there with our grand commander.
Didn't you say you'd give him back if we came, Tiny Bang?!
A miniboss, huh?
Tomura Shigaraki!
Anyway, let's get to the tower.
I'm good at that part!
The ground exploded...?
The serial blood-loss deaths...
You're the culprit, Himiko Toga, right?
"Why did a high school girl go mad?
The shocking interview where she tells all before her death."
Will you do that interview with me?
Huh?
No.
"Revival Party"
You made two mistakes.
First, making an old man like me the damsel in distress isn't fun for anyone.
Second, if they let the bioengineered Nomus loose,
"Villain - Giran"
this city doesn't stand a chance.
"Villain - Re-Destro"
They can't release the Nomus.
There are three reasons for this--
Looks like I've got more than you.
One, ever since Camino, the Nomu that have always appeared along with the League
have become just rumors,
even though the League is still active.
Two, that high performance Nomu that appeared in Kyushu--
What's important are those white Nomus discharged by the black one.
Even though there were traces of human meddling,
they didn't seem to possess extraordinary power.
And three--
I just came to get that Nomu.
Dabi saying he was collecting the black one.
It meant that there weren't any other Nomus that were working.
From all this, one can gather that Nomus are support goods from their patron,
All For One, and they don't have enough to use them freely anymore.
A League of Villains that can't use Nomus...
...is no more than a club.
Every one of them is strong!
The dormant liberation warriors train every day.
Repeatedly drilling their bodies and their minds
in order to live more human lives.
That's why it's a nuisance... This current state
where you people came later and have no great cause but are the talk of the town.
Himiko Toga. It looks like you hate being interviewed.
But, I'm sorry.
I threw away all restraint toward my interview subjects in my first year.
Himiko Toga, I'll have you bare all right now.
There's zero interest in the League of Villains,
but you're different.
"Seriously injuring a classmate"
"The violent crime committed by a girl and the reason behind it"!
It looks like it'll be a very good article.
My blood is pumping like when I was a working reporter.
Gone...!
No wonder they can't catch that girl.
Where is she?
No hesitation at all when killing!
I want to know!
Just what kind of life have you lived until now?!
Oh, be careful over there.
The warriors have no mercy.
If you want stay alive longer, then please do the interview.
Chitose Kizuki. MLA code name: Curious.
Meta ability: Landmine.
She can turn anything she touches into a bomb.
They're not very lethal, but she makes up for it in numbers!
A syringe? I see, so that's how you do it!
A meta ability that lets you ingest blood to transform!
On top of that, you can ingest multiple people's blood,
so we wouldn't know who you will become!
Being able carry yourself like them goes without saying,
but you also have survival skills that an ordinary murderer doesn't have!
How did you learn those skills?
The blood... exploded...!
Don't even think about transforming and hiding yourself!
There are even warriors who are willing to become bombs themselves!
The oldest daughter of the Toga family, born August 7th, age 17!
Missing since attending her middle school graduation!
Did you watch the candid interview with your parents?
What about the footage of the interviews with your middle school classmates?
Everyone said it!
"She was a very cheerful and obedient child" they said!
So why? Why did you do such things?
Why did you throw away a normal life?
I understand.
Your pain...
Can I hear it from you directly?
Kizuki...
You won't grab the hearts of the masses with these words.
Records and hearsay won't move anyone.
Conduct interviews. Look at their faces.
An article that guides public opinion must contain the human heart.
I will shake public opinion with your heart!
Everything is for the Liberation Army!
How did you become insane?
What is... a normal life?
What a face! Like a doll...
You finally answered me.
The Liberation Army is trying to build a very wonderful world,
so I love you.
I will live a normal life, too.
"Himiko Toga" "Quirk: Transform" "By ingesting someone's blood, she can transform into them."
"Affiliation: League of Villains" "Birthday: Unknown" "Height: Unknown" "Blood Type: Unknown" "Likes: Unknown"
"Shocking News: Why!?"
The middle schooler who cut her classmate, injuring him badly,
"Shocking News: Why!? Bloody Tragedy at Graduation"
is still on the run, and the investigation in the case continues.
"Popular with those around her..." "Male Classmate A (age 15)"
Toga was always smiling and sociable. I still can't believe it.
"Repulsive truth!" "Female Student B (age 15)"
I saw her... Toga...
She had a straw in the blood in Saito's wound... and was...
Suck.
It was like she was in a trance, like...
She... She had such a repulsive look on her face...
We can't atone enough...
We did our best, but it wasn't any good.
She's... a demon child.
Mommy, Daddy, the little birdie's so cute, isn't it?
So cute!
"Live a normal life."
An interesting phrase.
That's your true face.
I knew it. My instincts are as sharp as ever.
You are the embodiment of a superhuman society.
Poor thing.
You're ragged inside and out.
An unfortunate girl who killed who you were through the suppression
of your meta powers.
That's who you are, right, Himiko Toga?
Because of the meta ability you were born with,
you became fascinated by blood.
So cute. So pretty.
But what was truly unfortunate was that the normal feeling of admiration
combined with your interest in blood.
The fact that these two intertwined
was not something that society could accept at all.
That's why you put a lid on it, suppressing yourself, putting on a mask.
Stop that!
What are you doing?!
Stop smiling like that!
What a creepy face. You look like a deviant!
Why can't you just be normal?
Just live a normal life!
Shut up!
Detnerat's patented Chain Ring!
Curious Flattener!
There's no difference between your "normal" and the Liberation Army's goal.
In that case, you can become a human pillar
proving the truth of the Liberation Army's ideas.
Your life can be written about in our modern-day "holy book."
Please tell me if my guess is incorrect
and tell me with your own words.
If you don't, this interview will not be complete.
No!
You can't run!
You came by yourselves, right?
I don't like her!
I'm not unfortunate at all!
When I'm happy,
I smile big.
Like when you all kiss someone you love,
I sip the blood of those I love.
I'm not unfortunate at all!
I see, it's your stock of blood!
Oh my, don't make me cry!
I know--
That your meta ability only allows you to change your appearance.
"At least let me look cute at the end."
Oh, you poor thing!
The last bit of blood I had left from back then
was from Ochaco, who Izuku trusts a lot.
Lucky... Lucky...
I want to get close to someone I love, too.
Please, give me...
...your words!
No... way...!
I want... to be like you, too...
Every day, I was chased by the police and heroes.
Whether I liked it or not,
I was becoming overly sensitive to what was happening around me.
When I pretended to be a high school girl, the world became a tiny bit kinder.
Don't get caught.
I can use Ochaco's Quirk.
Why? On her Quirk form, it said she could only change her appearance!
Don't tell me...
You powered up just now?
The fear of death... made your meta power...
No.
I will love, live, and die normally.
I want to become...
...more like what I love!
What a wonderful headline...
The greatest article...
We keep killing them, but they keep coming back!
You haven't killed a single one of them.
Toga's gone. Where'd she go?
I'm a mess... Just like Izuku...
It'd be better for the big old guy if I didn't kill her...
But I couldn't help it... because...
...the things we hate...
...should be destroyed...
Right, Tomura?
I'm sleepy.
When you're sleepy, it's like,
things look like they're moving when they're not
and you can hear things that aren't there.
Like you're being overwhelmed with unnecessary information.
I know that my body's glitchy right now.
What's this?
Another flashback...
I don't remember this happening.
All I remember is how I felt... At that time...
...it was like a weight lifted off my chest.
Why was that again...?
I'm fine.
If you're gonna show me, then show me all of it.
I'm rooting for you, Tenko.
It's like a broken recorder...
Oh, jeez...
I feel so sick.
Is there something wrong with my eyes?
Just now, it looked like his Decay spread even to those he didn't touch.
Shigaraki... you...
If our leader's doing it, then I can, too, right?
I've never been good at not killing peop--
Ice... Ice, huh?
To be able to hide your presence so well with that large body...
I think I've gotten a little stronger, too.
I've become able to tell.
You're probably strong.
Blue flame user, Dabi.
The only person in the League with a ranged attack.
Why won't you use your flames right away?
Are you waiting for something,
or is there something wrong with your meta ability?
Hey, it looks like you don't know.
I guess I'll have to tell you then. It's special. Ice melts.
I see.
That's not good.
It looks like you don't know, so I'll tell you.
I control ice.
I've been training my meta ability for as long as I can remember.
Not even going to school.
Training much longer than any hero.
The grand commander made me strong.
You've had a wonderful life, huh?
You poor thing!
Don't think ice will melt with those superficial flames.
Dabi!
Think about how much power you're using!
Everyone's gotten split up.
Let's recap.
Dabi is over there. Shigaraki and Spinner were together.
Toga ran ahead and is missing...
Where's Twice?!
He was here a minute ago!
No way. It's true.
You ran off somewhere, so I was worried...
I was totally calm.
Damn it, what happened?!
Toga! No way! This can't be happening.
It is!
I can't believe someone can feel this cold.
Damn it, why's it so hot?
Shut up!
How can I? There's blood everywhere!
Is she breathing? Yes!
Nope!
Her face is a mess. Is it the enemy's blood?
It's your blood!
I need to wipe it off. Do you remember?
Nope.
It's the handkerchief you gave me.
Give it up. This girl's about to die.
No, you have to live!
You... are where everyone in the League--and I--belong!
The only one who needed... this failed human being...
Damn it!
I'll kill them!
Twice has met up with Toga.
They're in the storage shed at Ikeda's.
Toga is still alive.
We need to make sure she's dead for Curious's sake.
Jin Bubaigawara. Twice. Meta ability: Double.
In a sense, he's the complete opposite of Toga.
He made copies of himself, was almost killed by those selves,
and lost his own sense of self.
To live as a human, you liberated your meta powers,
which resulted in a wounded soul.
Tomoyasu Chikazoku. MLA code name: Skeptic.
Meta ability: Anthropomorph.
He can change things that are about the same size as people like fridges and desks
into puppets!
With your power,
no matter what happens to Re-Destro, we can bring him back!
We will not repeat the tragedy of Destro!
Bubaigawara, do you get it?
It's how you use it!
Why don't you understand your own worth?
I will persuade you to join the Liberation Army!
"Preview"
Here's the preview!
A revival party put on by the Meta Liberation Army.
In front of the Liberation Army and their overwhelming numbers,
the League of Villains, led by Shigaraki, are being driven into a corner.
In the midst of that, after Twice learned of Himiko Toga's injury--
Next time, "Sad Man's Parade."
Quirk: Double. A sorrowful march.
Go beyond!
"Next time: Sad Man's Parade"
Plus Ultra!
