Chapter 119 - ooo

The episode begins with Twice being restrained by his doubles. He is terrified and confused by this, while other doubles are with Toga. In the tower, Skeptik remotely controls Twice's doubles.

The audience gets tense watching this scene. Twice may be a villain but seeing what they are doing to him and how terrified he is is still uncomfortable for them.

Giran is surprised to learn what they are doing with Twice, and Re-Destro tells him to shut up and explains about Skeptik's Quirk and how he uses intranet devices to enhance the use of his Quirk.

"That's good information to keep in mind when facing that guy." Midoriya said while writing this down in his notebook.

"Yeah." Aizawa said in agreement with his student. "That guy's Quirk may not be a big deal, but he knows how to use it very well, and it's definitely going to be a problem."

"It seems to depend a lot on the technology, so if we could shut it down somehow, we could leave it out." Yaoyorozu said thoughtfully.

"That is certainly a good idea young Yaoyorozu." All Might said congratulating her.

"Although there is a problem there, how are we going to disable their technology?" Mt. Lady asked.

"I think I know the right person for that mission." Naomasa said remembering a certain hacker.

Skeptik: We know about Bubaigawara's psychological trauma thanks to your data. It bothers you? Of course. [We see Giran who, despite being beaten and being held by Re-Destro, is furious.] We will kill Toga and use Bubaigawara.

"That guy is really unpleasant." Nejire said annoyed. "Not only does he see him as an object but he also uses his worst fears to subdue him."

"It's really despicable." Shoto said equally annoyed, Twice may be a villain but he doesn't deserve to be used as an object.

"That's not manly at all." Kirishima said annoyed.

"Although this would confirm that Bubaigawara has a trauma of some kind." Recovery Girl said thoughtfully. "And very possibly it is related to his multiple personality and the fact that he seems to be afraid of his doubles."

"It's possible." Nezu said thoughtfully.

Giran: That would make Bubaigawara twice as angry as it would make me.

"It seems like Giran genuinely cares about him." Aizawa said, somewhat surprised by this fact.

"So it seems." Present Mic said equally surprised. "It's certainly surprising coming from him."

We see Twice being restrained by the doubles created by Skeptik and desperate to cover his face and save Toga who is being carried by the doubles.

The audience feels uncomfortable watching this as it is quite a difficult scene to watch.

Twice: I'm trying to kill her. To the girl who covered me with a scarf. [We see a flashback where Himiko covers Twice with a scarf.] Is it me? It's me! It's me? 

"No, it's not you. "I have no idea why you think it's you." Yanagi said confused by Twice's reaction.

"They may have his image but you should be able to tell it's not him." Sero said strangely.

"Maybe it has something to do with his trauma." Recovery Girl said thoughtfully.

Twice: And me? Am I the authentic one? I'm not? I'm going to split in two! Am I or not?!

"This is really very strange." Tetsutetsu said looking at Twice.

"And you say it, ribbit." Asui said.

"He really should be evaluated by a psychiatrist." Recovry Girl said, somewhat worried when she saw him, he may be a villain but she still worries when she sees his state.

We see a flashback to Twice's past. He is in a police station, he looks beaten.

Twice: People used to fear me because of my looks. I am alone. I have no family.

Police: I see. I'm sorry.

The audience is greatly surprised to see this since they did not expect to see such a scene about Twice.

"Hey?!" Several people exclaimed in surprise.

"And that?" Sato asked surprised.

"It seems to be a memory of some kind." Yaoyorozu said somewhat surprised.

"Has that guy been arrested before?" Mt. Lady asked in surprise. "I know that before joining the League he was a criminal wanted for several robberies, but I had no evidence that he had been arrested."

"Not really." Naomasa said. "Twice was questioned because he was involved in a car accident. He was not arrested but he did have a criminal record."

"I asked me what happened to him to end up like this." Said Midoriya interested in Twice's past as did some others in the audience. Others, for their part, are indifferent to the type of life Twice has had since they see no value in learning more about him.

Twice: I stumbled completely at 16 years old. 

Police: The man you ran over broke his arm.

"It seems to have been an important incident in his life." Midnight said. "Yes, that tripped him up completely." The rest of the audience nods in agreement, and some are also curious to learn more about Twice.

Twice: It came out of nowhere. He respected the permitted speed.

Police: This may give you a history, but don't despair. Even if you stumble, you can get back up.

"But if what you say is true then that accident was not your fault." Uraraka said somewhat surprised like the rest of the students.

"From what I know about that case, it was not Twice's fault, but he still had a police record for the incident, although he was not arrested or charged with anything, he still has a record." Naomasa said. "And at least my colleague tried to encourage him and show him that all was not lost."

"That's a little unfair, but at least it wasn't something more serious." Hagakure said.

"Although that seems to have been the beginning of the end for him seeing how it ended." Mandalay said, a little saddened by this fact.

"I would really like to know what happened to him." Midoriya said with interest, seeing all this has awakened his curiosity about villains and he wonders if understanding them could change things even a little.

Twice: Depending on how you stumble, you can keep plummeting.

The audience feels somewhat sad and uncomfortable hearing Twice's words and can't help but wonder what could have happened to him to end up being a member of the League of Villains.

The next thing we see is how Twice is fired from his job and his boss has a violent attitude towards him, because the person he ran over was a client of the company. After hitting him, his boss orders him to leave and not return. 

The audience is horrified as Twice is beaten by his boss for the incident before being fired from his job. It's certainly unexpected, but now you're starting to understand a little better why Twice ended up the way they did. Some also feel bad for Twice because they consider that what happened to him was very unfair, while others are indifferent to what has happened to a villain.

Twice: My parents died when I was in high school. There were villains involved. I had no other family, so I was left alone. 

"He was left alone when he was just very young." Recovery Girl said surprised and…saddened by this fact.

"It's really horrible to lose your parents, but it's even sadder that you didn't have anyone else after that." Uraraka said sadly.

"It's similar to what happened with Kota." Midoriya said saddened as he remembered the child, as did the members of the Pussycats since although Kota had lost his parents he still had them and Midoriaya, while Twice had been alone and had ended up becoming a villain.

"He lost his parents to villains and still ended up becoming one." Kuroiro said surprised and somewhat saddened by this fact.

We see Twice under a bridge using his Quirk to create a double of himself.

Twice: I wanted to have someone to talk to.

"Poor man." Ashido said, saddened when she saw how sad and lonely Twice felt, to the point that she used her Quirk to have some company. The rest of the audience also feels sad seeing this, except for a couple who don't sympathize with Twice at all.

"I didn't expect something like that, ribbit." Asui said surprised. Until now I thought that villains were crazy people who simply wanted to harm others like Shigaraki or Toga, but Twice at least in these flashbacks is quite far from that, he was simply a lonely man who wanted some company.

Twice clone: If you did something wrong, it was being born with bad luck.

Twice: I wanted to have someone to trust.

We see Twice creating more clones of himself.

Twice: It was fun. When you plummet you only think about one thing. I want to live better. [We see Twice and his clones committing a robbery.] Right? And with that in mind, many mistakes are made. But you only see them when you fall to the deepest depths.

The audience is shocked to see this scene.

"So that's how his criminal career started." Mandalay said thoughtfully.

"It's really sad that it ended like this." Naomasa said, somewhat saddened by how Twice had ended up becoming a criminal. "It's not that surprising though. For people who do not have family members and have a criminal record, it is very difficult to get a job and get ahead honestly."

"Unfortunately it is one of the failings of our society." Midnight said.

"We shouldn't care what happened to that bastard either." Bakugo said annoyed.

The scene changes and we see Twice surrounded by the mud of his clones, tied up and with his scar on his face.

Twice: I couldn't even trust myself anymore.

The audience is shocked and horrified as they see the scene before them. They now better understand Twice's trauma and mental disorder.

"Oh wow." Yanagi said surprised.

"That explains a lot." Recovery Girl said. "Although the exact causes of multiple personality disorder are not known, it has been determined that it has a relationship with strong psychological trauma."

"And that also explains why he is afraid of his doubles." Hawks said. "This matches the information I've been able to gather about Twice."

Elsewhere Giran meets with Twice who has his face covered by a bag.

Giran: I see. You went crazy watching your clones kill each other. And that bag? 

Twice: If I don't wear it, I'll tear myself apart. Don't tear yourself!

"This would confirm it." Hawks said thoughtfully. "It really explains a lot about Twice."

"That guy is really strange." Tetsutetsu said surprised to see him.

"Though considering his trauma and circumstances, it actually makes sense for him to act the way he does." Yanagi said, somewhat moved by Twice's situation.

"Mental health issues are not something to be underestimated." Recovery Girl said, to which several nodded in agreement, recognizing the importance of mental health and its correct treatment and care.

Giran: I see.

Twice: My clones disappear if they take damage. A clone disappears if his arm is broken. I'm worried. It's reassuring.

"Oh, that will be extremely valuable information for us." Midoriya said as he wrote down on the page he had about Twice in his notebook.

"That also explains why that Dabi clone I fought at the camp fell apart." Aizawa said remembering that moment. "I broke his arms and he fell into a pile of mud."

"It was a really scary moment." Ashido said trembling as she remembered it, like several other students who remember the attack on the camp.

Giran: After committing many robberies, they search for you throughout the country. With your Quirk you could conquer a country. It's a shame you're in this state.

"You're not wrong." Naomasa said. "A Quirk like that in the wrong hands…" Naomasa said worriedly.

"Is it really such a dangerous thing?" Mt. Lady asked, ignorant of the full potential of Twice's Quirk.

"Oh yeah." Hawks said. "If Twice used his power to its full potential, he could truly conquer all of Japan by himself." This greatly surprised and impacted the audience.

"Hey?! B…but how?!" Komori asked in surprise.

"Yeah! "How is something like that possible?!" Mineta exclaimed. "That guy has an army or what?!"

"Something like that." Hawks explained. "Twice Double's Quirk allows him to create copies of himself, other people and objects, although he has a limit of two copies, he can exceed that limit if he creates copies of himself since his copies can use Double as well."

The audience is shocked and horrified to realize what these words mean.

"Oh shit." Bakugo said, knowing full well how bad a situation like that would be.

"It would be an unprecedented disaster." Pixie Bob said worriedly.

"Though fortunately his trauma prevents him from doing that." Yanagi said.

"That's really a relief, ribbit." Asui said.

"Unfortunately he somehow managed to overcome his trauma and use his Quirk to its full potential again. I guess we'll see here how he did it." Hawks thought worried.

Twice: What can I do?

"I would tell you, but I can't say something like that in the presence of students." Mirko said.

Giran: Make them trust you. 

Twice: Who?

Giran: Your nakamas. I know a very dynamic organization. They will surely need you. [Offers him a cigarette which Twice accepts.] Don't worry. There are more people like us than we think.

"So that's how he joined the League." Midnight said thoughtfully. "No wonder I love Giran so much."

"He introduces him to his nakamas. For a man like him who simply wanted to have friends, he could trust…" Midoriya said, surprised and saddened by this fact.

"It's sad that that was the place he was able to fit in." Uraraka said sadly.

Back in the present Twice is being restrained by Skeptik's copies, although he breaks free to try to rescue Toga which surprises Skeptik who orders more of his clones to hit Twice. 

We see several of the doubles hitting Twice who complains about the pain. The doubles break Twice's arms.

Skeptik: Don't move. Don't resist.

Twice: It hurts…

Twice's doubles created by Skeptik are about to finish off Toga, while Twice complains about the pain he feels.

Some in the audience look away as they do not want to see Twice being beaten, since even though he is a villain it is not pleasant to see him suffer that way, while others are indifferent because they believe that he brought it on himself by becoming a villain.

Twice: It hurts... But it didn't disappear. [We see Twice smiling despite everything, blood and tears coming out of his eyes.] HAHAHAA! I was careful not to hurt myself seriously, because I was afraid of disappearing.

The audience is surprised to hear these words from Twice.

"So he thought he was one of his clones?" Kendo asked in surprise.

"So it seems, ribbit." Asui said.

"Part of his trauma was because he didn't know if he was the original or a clone." Recovery Girl said thoughtfully. "Although he did have some doubts about it, it just disappeared."

"You just confirmed that it is the original and not a clone." Midoriya said. "Even if the original died, shouldn't the rest of the clones disappear too?"

"Likely. Although he probably never thought about it." Yaoyorozu said thoughtfully.

"That idiot." Bakugo said.

Twice: I always do the same thing. I always choose the wrong option.

"What a surprise." Mirko said sarcastically.

Twice: If I had hurt me sooner I would have known. [There is a new determination in his eyes.] But I fled, stumbled, and fell. And where did I go after falling? Toga I'm going to save you.

The audience is a little scared to see the new determination in Twice's eyes and his strong desire to save Toga.

"So this is how he got over his trauma? Upon discovering that he is the original Twice and his determination to help his nakamas?"Hawks thought.

Skeptik's clones fly out to his surprise. We see Twice who has finally duplicated himself again and is determined to protect his teammates.

Twice: Get away impostors. I don't kill my nakamas. My Quirk is Double and now you will see how terrifying it can be.

The audience is shocked and frightened to see this turn of events. Until that moment they hadn't thought that Twice could be so scary, but that thinking has changed.

"Ahh!" Several people exclaimed in fear.

"You don't need to prove it to us, we believe you." Komori said terrified.

"He managed to overcome his trauma…" Asui said scared.

"This is really bad!" Mandalay exclaimed worriedly, while Midoriya wrote this down in his notebook.

"Now we have one more thing to worry about. As if we didn't already have enough." Mirko said.

"I already knew that Twice had managed to overcome his trauma, but seeing it is really shocking. Now he is, along with Shigaraki, the most dangerous member of the League." Hawks thought worriedly.

We see an animated explanation of Twice's Quirk.

"Oh that is certainly very informative. It will be very useful for us to devise a strategy against Twice." Midoriya said while writing down in his notebook.

"That animation is also very nice." Hagakure said.

We see Twice trying to replicate one of the bullets they stole from the convoy carrying Overhaul, but he can't do it. He is with the rest of the League in a place that appears to be an abandoned building.

The audience is shocked to see this.

"They were trying to replicate the bullets they stole from the Yakuza…" Uraraka said worriedly when she saw this.

"Don't you believe…?" Yaoyorozu asked worriedly.

"Is that what they gave that doctor? Yes, surely." Bakugo said annoyed and worried.

"Damn! This is really bad!" Mirko exclaimed worried.

"Yes, that's true, so stopping that guy became even more of a priority." All Might said, to which the rest of the audience nodded in agreement.

Twice: Double needs an image and information. I can't multiply the Yakuza's bullets. I'm sorry I can't be of help.

"At least it's a relief that Twice couldn't duplicate them with his Quirk." Mt. Lady said.

"It's a small consolation but it's okay." Kamui Woods said.

"That's one of the limitations of Twice's Quirk." Midoriya said. "To duplicate objects or people he need to have information about…"

"Yes Deku! We already saw it!" Bakugo exclaimed annoyed.

Twice: I always wanted to make it up to them for accepting me. That's why…

The audience is shocked to hear these words and how Twice is deeply grateful to the League for accepting him and how he is willing to do anything to thank them for giving him a home.

We see Twice multiplying several times and fighting against the copies created by Skeptik. Some members of the army, seeing this, try to stop him, but it is useless since Twice has multiplied so much that now there are clones of him everywhere and they kill them easily. The clones quickly spread throughout the area.

Twice: Sad Man's Parade!

"Oh wow!" Several exclaimed when they saw this.

"Great, now we have a big problem." Mirko said worried.

"It's going to be a challenge to face Twice." Hawks said worriedly. "We'll have to get rid of him first. He is, along with Shigaraki, the most dangerous member of the League or he may even surpass him." He said seriously.

"Get rid of him? Sensei, don't you mean…?" Tokoyami asked worried about his teacher's words.

"Let's hope not, but if there is no other option then yes." Hawks said. "As I told you before, sometimes we must make difficult decisions for the greater good."

"I hope it doesn't come to that." Uraraka said, uncomfortable at the idea of having to kill villains, as well as several of the students, who do recognize that sometimes they may have no choice but to kill a villain to save someone, it is not something they want. do.

We see Twice with Toga hugging her protectively and with a firm determination to protect her at all costs.

"He really cares about her." Uraraka said, somewhat moved when she saw him.

In the tower Re-Destro contemplates the Twice clones and mentions that he managed to overcome his trauma.

"That's one way to put it." Mirko said with a twitch in his eye.

Re-Destro: You were wrong Skeptik. That's strange.

Skeptik: [Annoyed] What do you mean Re-Destro? I only failed once in my entire life. Correct yourself. Don't fail. I'm still playing. [Leaves the room]

"Uh, what happened to that guy?" Tetsutetsu asked, surprised to see Skeptik's reaction.

"He must be an extreme perfectionist or someone who can't stand failure in any form." Iida theorized.

"Yes, that's probably the case." Yaoyorozu said.

"Well, he's going to have a very bad time when we defeat him and his friends." Bakugo said.

"Definitely." Mirko said smiling as she imagined it.

Giran: What overcame the trauma? Are you also a doctor now? 

"That guy is right, even though Twice has managed to use all his power again, that doesn't mean he has been able to overcome his trauma." Recovery Girl said worriedly.

"That's not important. The important thing is that it is now a much greater threat than before." Gran Torino said worriedly.

Giran: If nothing binds him anymore, he is capable of anything. At a minimum, numerical superiority will win.

Re-Destro: Well, we will win with quality.

"I'm honestly not sure about that." Midoriya said thoughtfully. "Now that Twice has used his Quirk with all his power again, he will be able to overcome the numerical disadvantage, but we should not underestimate the members of the army. It's really hard to know who would win."

"It's really complicated, especially if we take into account that the League still has Machia." Yaoyorozu said worrying the rest of the audience.

"Oh shit, I had almost forgotten about that monster." Mineta said scared.

Re-Destro: Right Geten? [We see Geten on an ice creature still facing Dabi.]

"That ice guy again." Shoto said looking at him. "He's really very skilled if he can do something like that."

"It's going to be quite a challenge when we face it." Midoriya said thoughtfully. "If he survives this fight of course."

"He survived, and is now one of the front lieutenants." Hawks thought, remembering seeing Geten in Gunga.

Dabi attacks him with his fire, which causes some difficulty for Geten, although Dabi is letting out smoke.

Dabi: What you say doesn't match what's happening. Most of the ice disappeared.

"That's true, but he's not much better." Mandalay said.

"It's letting out smoke." Endeavor said looking at him carefully. "There's definitely something not right." "It's almost like… No, impossible." 

"Oh really? How did you realize that there is something not right about a villain?" Mirko asked sarcastically.

"And they say my jokes are bad." Mirio thought.

Nearby, Compress is confronting more members of the army and asks Dabi to help him. 

Dabi: Why was I going to help you?

"Wow, that's bad, he doesn't want to help his friend." Ashido said.

"I don't think they are very close. From what we saw of Dabi he doesn't seem very involved with them, ribbit." Asui said.

"Maybe he's just socially awkward." Yanagi theorized. "Not to mention that he is very busy with his fight against the ice type, getting distracted can be fatal for him."

"That would be good for us, one less villain to worry about." Bakugo said.

Compress: Don't be cold!

"Because I have the feeling that that is a double meaning?" Sero asked.

"No idea, but I have the same feeling, ribbit." Asui said.

Dabi: Ask them. [Points to the Twice doubles who arrive at that moment, they are both on the streets and in the buildings.]

The audience is greatly surprised to see this. Although they already knew that Twice had once again used his Quirk to its full potential, seeing it in action is certainly surprising... and terrifying.

"Ahh!" Several people exclaimed in fear.

"T…there are too many!" Mineta exclaimed in terror.

"I…it seems to have no limit." said worriedly when she saw him. "It's going to be quite a challenge when we face it. Even with all the heroes there are, I don't know if we can fight something like that..."

"Of course we can Yu." Kamui Woods said.

Compress: [Surprised] And your trauma?

Twice: I got through it with love and courage.

"That's one way to put it." Sato said.

"Although in some ways it is true." Uraraka said thoughtfully. "He overcame his trauma and used all his power again for the love of Toga and his nakamas."

Compress: This seems like the first episode of a hero story. Aren't you a villain?

"You're actually not wrong, this really seems like a hero story. Although these seem like chapters dedicated to the villains." Fukidashi said.

"Can you imagine it? That there was a book about our history?" Ojiro said.

"It would be amazing." Midoriya said. "Although I think a manga would be better."

"That would be a manga I would love to read." Tsuntori said, to which several nodded in agreement.

Clone 1: Can't we help our own?

Clone 2: Exactly!

Clone 3: It's important!

Clone 4: I'm a genius!

Clone 5: Since there are few of them, friends are valued more.

We see the Twice clones fight against various members of the army.

Clone 1: Wait, am I stupid or what?

Clone 2: I don't deny it.

Clone 3: I'm not a very good fighter.

Clone 4: Take a hit!

Clone 5: Better twenty thousand!

The audience is shocked to see this, although they can understand Twice's desire to protect his friends.

"Even if he is not very good at fighting, he can compensate for that disadvantage with numerical superiority." Midoriya said while writing down in his notebook.

"He's really going to be a very difficult enemy." Yaoyorozu said worriedly.

"Luckily I already have a plan against Twice, I just hope everything turns out well." Hawks thought worriedly.

Twice: I'll double you! [We see Compress and Dabi watching him] We will be able to populate an entire prefecture. Let's go villains!

"No please no!" Komori exclaimed in fear.

"When they said Twice was a big threat they really weren't kidding." Kendo said worriedly.

"On top of that, he can create clones of other people." Tsuburaba said worriedly. "It does double the rest of the League members…"

"It will be a disaster of epic proportions." Bakugo said worriedly.

"No wonder they classified him as an S-level villain." Fat Gum said thoughtfully. "Seeing this, it doesn't surprise me in the least."

Compress: Wait Twice. If we kill most of them, there will be no one left to fight Machia.

"So it will be limited so that Machia can take care of the army." Kodai said.

"So it seems to be. Although at this point with Twice I don't know if it's necessary anymore." Awase said.

Clone 1: Do we hold back?

Clone 2: Don't duplicate Dabi. It burns everything.

Clone 3: Didn't we kill them?

Clone 4: When will the giant wake up? 

"That might be a good idea. Seeing how careless Dabi is maybe it's a good idea not to duplicate him." Endeavor said.

"Even if they burned all the villains present there, it wouldn't be such a bad thing." Mirko said.

"Rumi! You shouldn't say those things! And even less in front of the students!" Ryukyu responded annoyed.

"Although on the other hand that is a good question, when is that monster going to wake up?" Honenuki asked.

"It's true, with all this that's been happening I lost track of time." Tsuburaba said.

"You're not the only one, it's really hard to know how much time has passed with everything that has happened." Tokage said.

Compress: In one hour and five minutes.

"Is there still an hour left? Wow." Kodai said surprised.

"And in addition to that, the time it will take to reach Deika." Kendo said thoughtfully. "I don't know how long it will take exactly but it will be a while longer, I don't know if the members of the League will resist, even though now Twice has balanced things a little, the army should not be underestimated."

"They're really screwed, but that's good for us." Bakugo said.

Clone 1: Count on me! 

Clone 2: But Toga is in danger. I'll tell you where it is and...

Suddenly ice starts coming out from under the ground, killing several of Twice's clones.

The audience is shocked to see this turn of events.

"Ahh!" Several people exclaimed in surprise.

"But what the hell! How the hell did something like that happen!?" Mineta exclaimed surprised.

"Yeah! How did that ice come out from under the ground!?" Sero asked surprised.

"It was probably the ice guy who Dabi was fighting." Shoto said thoughtfully.

"We already know that! But how is there ice under the ground!?" Mineta exclaimed.

"I don't really have an answer for that." Shoto said confused.

"From what we know about the ice type Quirk, he can manipulate ice, not generate it." Midoriya said thoughtfully. "And considering Dabi already melted a lot of the ice, unless there's someone else creating the ice or there's some kind of explanation for it."

"Let's hope we get an explanation for that." Yaoyorozu said.

Dabi: Do they produce ice in the city? There is too much. [Some of the ice sticks to one of his arms.]

"That is actually a very good question, one that we hope will be answered." Cementos said.

Geten: I said I can control ice. [The piece of ice that was on Dabi's arm grows a little in size]

Dabi: Ah, I see.

"Hey? I don't understand." Kaminari said confused.

"What a surprise Jamming-jay." Jiro said mockingly, although she didn't understand what Dabi meant either.

"Wait and see." Said Nezu, who already knows what is happening, but hopes the rest of the audience will see it instead of explaining it to them himself.

Geten: I can also control its temperature. Yes, under the ice that I send to the drains, the frozen water becomes my extremities.

The audience is greatly surprised to hear these words. Knowing that Geten can also manipulate the temperature of ice is certainly surprising. Midoriya rushes to write down this information on the page he has about Geten in his notebook, knowing that it will be of vital importance when it is their turn to face Geten.

"Oh that explains a lot." Kendo said.

"This is really worrying." Ryukyu said worried. "If he can manipulate the temperature of the ice that means he can create more at will. The only thing you need is a nearby water source."

"This is really bad. "It's going to be quite a challenge to face that guy." Vlad said, to which the rest of the audience nodded in agreement.

"Although on the other hand, how does he do it?" Shoto asked.

"Maybe it's some sub-skill of his Quirk." Midoriya said thoughtfully.

"It is possible." Shoto said.

Dabi: How annoying. You could have done it sooner.

"For once Frankenstein is right." Bakugo said.

"Although I think he was waiting for the right moment to use all his power." Shishida said thoughtfully. "Instead of going with everything from the beginning, he waited to see what was best for him to do."

"It is possible." Yaoyorozu said thoughtfully. "And if so, it shows that he has a good knowledge of battle strategy."

"That's obvious. That guy being a member of the army and apparently a pretty strong one, it's not strange, ribbit." Asui said.

Geten: The future we long for, associate the strength of a Quirk with your social position. That is, enhancing your Quirk will be your reason for being.

"That's really horrible!" Iida exclaimed making a robotic cut. "In a world like this, people with weak or Quirkless Quirks would be completely unprotected."

"That's a world I wouldn't want to live in." Uraraka said, uncomfortable with the idea.

"That is why they must give everything to prevent something like this from happening." Aizawa said. "To protect people and prevent them from falling into the hands of criminals." He said to which the students nodded in agreement.

Geten uses his Quirk to make more ice come out from under the ground, killing thousands of Twice's doubles, much to their sadness.

"That guy is really strong." Ryukyu said worried. "The ease with which he destroy those clones…"

"And that you say it. It's going to be quite a challenge to face these guys." Mandalay said worried.

"Although seeing this gives me an idea to face Twice." Pixie-Bob said coming up with some strategies she could use with her Quirk. "It's going to be complicated and maybe cause serious property damage, but not doing it would be worse."

"Unfortunately you are right." Tiger said. "Twice would cause a lot more damage than your Quirk."

Geten: Life is meaningless without a strong Quirk. 

Dabi: How sad. Die.

"For once that villain has a point." Cementoss said. "To think that life has no meaning without a strong Quirk is really sad."

"There are many civilians who, despite not having strong Quirks, manage to have happy and full lives. And even Quirkless people who are also productive members of society and are happy." All Might said thinking about his good friend David's daughter, Melissa, who despite being Quirkless is a young student with a promising future. Several in the audience nod in agreement with the former number one hero, while others like Bakugo disagree.

"Although it's a bit strange that someone like Dabi thinks like that." Ragdoll said thoughtfully. "Being a villain with a strong Quirk, his attitude is certainly surprising."

"It is certainly something striking." Hawks said thoughtfully. "It really makes me even more doubtful about him."

"Who cares what Frankenstein thinks?! He is a villain and his opinion is not important!" Bakugo exclaimed annoyed.

"Bakugo, understanding his motivations may be vitally important." Aizawa said seriously. "It could lead us to important information about him, since he is the only member of the League whose real identity we still don't know."

"I asked me if that was related to his interest in my father. As much as I hate to admit it, the ideology of the army is similar to my father's interest in being the strongest and surpassing All Might." Shoto thought.

Geten: You will be the one who is going to die, blue flames. Your body reeks of burning. Studying a rival's Quirk is basic. Your ulcerated, peeling skin indicates that you cannot fight for long. Because your flames burn you.

"Well, this confirms the fact that Dabi has some kind of problem with his Quirk and that he cannot fight prolonged battles, although the cause of the problem remains unknown." Midoriya said.

"Whatever your problem is, it is good to know this. It is very valuable information for us. If Dabi survived this fight it will definitely help us to know this about him." Yaoyorozu said planning a strategy against Dabi.

"Somehow he survived this, although he's never going to tell me how, I'll see him here." Hawks thought.

Elsewhere Compress is surrounded by the mud of the crumbling Twice clones and we can see the damage the city has suffered. Compress comments that Geten's attacks also affect members of the army.

"That ice guy is actually very careless with his attacks." Gran Torino said. "Not only has it caused serious damage to property, but also to members of the army."

"I don't think those guys care much." Mirko said with disdain. "They are fanatics willing to die for their cause."

"Yes, but that guy is going to be a big threat when we face him." Midnight said worriedly.

Compress: That ice man is on another level.

"Oh wow, what makes you think that?!" Bakugo asked sarcastically.

Compress: It's perfect for Machia, but...

In his laboratory the doctor laughs and comments that this is what happens to them for being ingenious.

The audience becomes worried upon seeing this as they know that whatever Garaki is going to do now will not be good.

Garaki: But All for One wouldn't want them to die yet. [He activates the recorder with AFO's voice which wakes up Machia ahead of time who heads towards Deika to go after Shigaraki.] 

"Ahh!" They exclaimed in fear when they saw that Garaki woke up Machia ahead of time and that he was heading towards Deika.

"W…woke him up…" Shoji said in fear.

"It would be best if it wiped out everyone, but I doubt we'll have that much luck." Mirko said earning an annoyed look from Ryukyu.

Geten and Dabi continue their fight, producing a great clash of ice and fire.

The audience is surprised to see the clash between ice and fire, which is in its own way something impressive and striking.

In another part of the city Spinner is running and asking Shigaraki if he is okay.

"Yes, it's as good as it can be for someone who hasn't slept, has fought a monster for over a month, and is in the middle of a battle like that." Tokage said.

"That is actually a very silly question to ask." Tsuburaba said.

Shigaraki: And you? Should we have waited?

Spinner: If we hadn't come, now several heroes would be chasing us. Neither option was good.

Shigaraki: It's true. They cornered us.

"That's true, they really had no choice." Ectoplasm said.

"Those cretins, how dare they expect us to do their dirty work for them." Mirko said, still upset by that fact.

Shigaraki: Look at Spinner. The tower is close.

Shigaraki stops when he sees that there are more members of the army than before and they do not hesitate to attack them as soon as they see them.

Although Shigaraki and Spinner are rescued by Twice's clones to their surprise when they see that he has overcome his trauma.

The audience watches the entire scene in surprise, from the army attack, and the rescue of the Twice clones.

"Now they know it too." Asui said worried.

Twice: Now I'll be more useful, right? [The clones attack the army members.]

"Unfortunately yes." Mt. Lady said worriedly, as did the rest of the audience.

Shigaraki: Perfect Twice. Can you open a path to the tower? His boss and Giran are there. And the fact that there are more enemies as we approach the tower would confirm this. They act as if they were defending the tower. We need pawns for Machia, but the boss must be killed.

"That brat." Gran Torino said. "It has grown a lot in these times, we really should not underestimate it."

"He was able to detect that the tower is the place where the boss and his hostage are. Although it is not too complicated to realize. Just by seeing the number of enemies in the area, it is not difficult to deduce that they are protecting something." Present Mic said.

"It really looks like a video game level." Kirishima said.

Twice: Got it. You sleep while I carry you, leader. We will destroy the army alone. [An aerial view of the crowd of Twice clones and army members is seen.] 

The audience is scared when they see the crowd of Twice clones. They know perfectly well that it will be a challenge when they have to face him because now he has become the most dangerous villain in the entire League.

Spinner: Can't we let Twice take care of it?

Shigaraki: No. He loves Giran too much. They play with people's hearts. [A close-up of Shigaraki's face is seen, who is really upset.] It's unforgivable.

These words from Shigaraki greatly surprise the audience as they realize how much Shigaraki cares about his allies, to the point of getting angry at how the army has played with Twice's feelings for Giran.

"He really cares about them." Midoriya said.

"Surprising, but yes." Tokoyami said.

A van stops and Hanabata is heard through speakers encouraging the members of the army to fight against the League, you can see how his words somehow motivate the members of the army to fight harder than before.

Spinner: Was his name Hanabata? When he gives a speech the others become emboldened.

"Now that you say it, it's true." Endeavor said thoughtfully. "Speeches like that always end in incidents of some kind."

"It possibly has something to do with his Quirk. He must be influencing those who listen to him in some way." Ryukyu said.

"If that's true, it would be violating the Quirk restriction laws." Naomasa said seriously.

"Well, I guess it's another charge on your list of crimes." Fatgum said.

Spinner: What do I do? Shigaraki must rest. What should I do?

"Do you really want an answer to that?" Mirko asked sarcastically.

In the tower we can see that Twice somehow managed to get to where Re-Destro is. Twice creates several doubles of himself and other League members and Re-Destro comments that his Quirk Double is magnificent.

"He's not wrong about that." Midoriya said. "It is certainly a magnificent Quirk, although in the wrong hands…"

"You don't have to finish that sentence, we can see the consequences of that on the screen." Yaoyorozu said worriedly as did the rest of the audience.

Twice and his doubles start an argument over which of them is the real Twice.

"Are they going to do that again?" Tokage asked.

"It seems so." Yanagi said.

"It would be great if they killed each other, but it's obviously too good to happen." Mirko said.

"Rumi!" Ryukuyu exclaimed, annoyed with Mirko for the terrible example that her colleague is giving to the students.

The discussion ends when one of the Twice says that they should first help their nakamas before discussing these things, then he goes to attack Re-Destro who destroys him, revealing that he was a clone.

"And they already solved their problem. "That easy." Bakugo said.

"Obviously they weren't going to save us the work." Mirko said.

"Although on the other hand that Re-Destro guy is going to be a problem." Egdeshot said worriedly. "He seems to have a pretty strong Quirk, although it shouldn't be a surprise considering he's the leader of the Army."

"It seems to be some kind of transformation." Midoriya said as he took notes on Re-Destro's Quirk. "Although I hope to have some more information about it, so we can devise a strategy against him."

"Any information we can gather will be extremely valuable." Hawks said, to which the rest of the audience nodded in agreement.

Re-Destro: [A black spot is visible on his face.] How fragile. You know what a hostage is, right? 

Compress Clone: Did you see what he did?

Dabi Clone: Don't ask.

"I think he did see it." Komori said scared.

"The hard thing would have been not seeing it, ribbit." Asui said scared, while Midoriya takes notes about the stain that appeared on Re-Destro's face, which he assumes is related to his Quirk.

Re-Destro: [The stain on his face spreads.] Bubaigawara, duplicate more and I will kill Giran. I don't want to kill someone who is not an official member of your League.

"I don't understand why he wouldn't do it, a guy like him should not care what happens to that guy." Tsuburaba said.

"Dead he is of no use to him, while he is alive he could use him against the League and specifically against Twice." Hawks said thoughtfully.

Shigaraki clone: It's okay Twice. You gave us this opportunity. It's one against many.

"That guy is really at a disadvantage." Kendo said thoughtfully. "They surpass him in numbers, but we should not underestimate him."

"Not knowing all his abilities and his Quirk, it's really difficult to predict anything." Midoriya said. "Besides, he still has Giran as a hostage."

The clones of Dabi and Compress try to attack but Re-Destro's arm grows and destroys them with a swipe of his hand. The attack also affects the windows of the tower.

The audience is shocked and horrified to see what just happened on the screen. Re-Destro is certainly very strong if he manages to destroy the clones and cause that damage to the tower, which shows his power and mastery of his Quirk.

"Ahh!" Several people exclaim in horror.

"H...his arm...grew and destroyed everything in one fell swoop." Kendo said surprised and horrified. "It's similar to my Quirk."

"So it seems to be." Yanagi said. "He must have a Quirk somewhat similar to yours."

"We're going to have to be very careful when we face that guy." Gran Torino said worriedly like the rest of the audience, Midoriya for his part writes down everything he sees in his notebook.

Re-Destro: They're pathetic. It is absurd that we fight in the same ring.

"If I were you, I wouldn't underestimate them. The League has proven to be highly dangerous." Naomasa said.

"And on top of that they have become even more dangerous." Mandalay said worried. "It's hard to believe that in this fight alone they have made great strides, and that's not even counting their previous experience."

"If they survive we are going to have a lot of problems." Mt. Lady said.

"Unfortunately the vast majority of them survived." Trought Hawks.

One of Twice's clones approaches Giran who is injured. The clone cries when he sees that the fingers of the hand with which he smoked have been cut off and Giran apologizes to him for leaking information and comments that he should retire. 

"That wouldn't be a bad idea, at least we wouldn't have to deal with him anymore." Aizawa said.

Twice Clone: [Crying] Don't apologize! You didn't do anything wrong, so don't apologize!

"That guy doesn't really blame him for anything." Kodai said.

"He's his friend and he cares about him, so it makes sense." Asui said, surprised by this fact, from what she could see so far the villains, Shigaraki included, seem to care about people who are not themselves, something that contradicts what she believes about villains.

Re-Destro: His is nothing more than a game. If you have a joint objective, emotions only cloud your judgment. [He brings his hand closer to Giran and the Twice clone and it turns black as the stain spreads.] They will remain buried under our will.

"That is nothing but stupidity." Bakugo scoffs upon hearing Re-Destro's words. "The absurd ramblings of a villain."

"You're right Bakubro." Kirishima said in agreement.

Shigaraki Clone: You have a very noble dream. [He attacks him by surprise but Re-Destro manages to dodge it.]

Re-Destro: Are you still alive?

"Unfortunately." Mirko said.

Re-Destro: A noble dream, huh? Perfect. Let's see what you are like. [It gets bigger and the spot on her face grows.] Long ago, a woman gave birth to a child with powers, at a time when there were still many prejudices. [An image of the woman is seen with her baby.] Constant criticism. Discrimination. Days when they threw stones at his son.

"Hey? What is this about?" Kaminari asked confused.

"No idea, but I guess we'll find out Jamming-Yay." Jiro said.

"That must have been during the beginning of the era of Quirks." Sero said. "I'm really grateful I wasn't born during that time." Several nod in agreement with him.

Re-Destro: She made a weak complaint. "That's his Quirk." [Attacks the Shigaraki clone who dodges him and smashes the window with his oversized hand.] "Let's create a world where he can be free." But the laughter drowned out his voice. And she did not raise her voice again. Because? Because those who opposed her killed her. 

Shigaraki clone: The mother of Quirks, right? Are you making fun of me?

"The mother of Quirks? But what is that about?" Sato asked confused.

"I have no idea." Asui said.

Re-Destro: Excuse me. I thought you were uneducated. [The fight between the two continues]

Some in the audience laugh at Re-Destro's words about how he thought Shigaraki was uneducated.

Re-Destro: Heroes and vigilantes flourished. So the government acted. Their policies completely extinguished women's voices.

"Where did you get that from? "The government implemented measures so that society could live." Iida said.

"Does the mother of the Quirks have any relationship with the army?" Kendo asked.

"Actually yes. She was Destro's mother." Hawks thought.

Re-Destro: Powers are gifts. They are diversity. They are revolutionaries! [Catches Shigaraki's clone and squeezes it in his hands] But the policies they applied were only to keep them under control. Changing their name doesn't mean anything. What they rejected was the use of powers. But there will be no freedom if we cannot use them freely.

"No, policies are so that we can all live in society, if people used their Quirks as they wanted they could cause damage or worse." Iida said annoyed making a robotic cut.

"You don't need to explain it to us, class president." Ojiro said. "Besides, there is no point. "Those villains want to create an anarchic society where the only scale is your power, there is no point in explaining anything else."

"You're right." Iida answered.

Re-Destro: Destro thought "this is not the future my mom would want." We need powers to be gifts of truth! [Holds him upside down]

Shigaraki clone: Mom?

The audience is greatly surprised to hear this.

"Mom?!" Several people exclaimed in surprise.

"Destro is the son of the mother of Quirks?!" Honenuki exclaimed.

"Actually yes." Hawks said. "Although it is a little-known fact since much was done to hide it, since it would tarnish the image of the mother of the Quirks."

Re-Destro: It's a truth they don't want to acknowledge. Do you know why Destro's work is sold? He rebelled against the government for freedom. I will carry the same and fulfill Destro's dream. I am his descendant and heir. I'm Re-Destro!

"Freedom, so that is what you use to justify your crimes?" Pixie-Bob said.

"So it seems." Tiger said.

Re-Destro: Your desire for destruction without history has no more weight than our ideals, don't you think?

"No!" Bakugo exclaimed annoyed. "I don't care what their shitty motives are! You cause damage and deserve to be beaten! Both the army and the League!"

"That's Bakubro!" Kirishima exclaimed as did several of his companions.

Shigaraki Clone: Twice, prepare a cushion to protect Giran.

The audience is surprised to hear these words and wonder what Shigaraki is up to.

Shigaraki Clone: I got stuck in the window after the first attack. [A flashback of that moment is seen] And my gaze met that guy's. [Everyone is surprised by these words] It's here and it probably touches the tower. It's what I would do.

Now the audience is in complete shock hearing these words and understanding what will happen next.

"Wait! Does that mean that Shigaraki…?" Uraraka asked surprised.

"That's not the real Shigaraki. He's another of Twice's clones." Yaoyorozu said surprised when she noticed that fact.

"Shit, this got confusing." Mirko said.

"And the real Shigaraki is at the base of the tower, and he's going to…" Iida said, he didn't need to add anything else as the next scene began to play.

The real Shigaraki touches the tower, destroying it to the surprise of everyone who watches it fall.

The audience watches in shock at what happens on the screen, seeing Shigaraki's Quirk in action is certainly terrifying.

Shigaraki: If you fall from too high you could die, right? [He approaches Re-Destro who survived the fall]

"And of course that bastard didn't die. What a surprise" Mirko said, disappointed by this fact, which causes Ryukyu to give her a look of disapproval for saying something like that in front of the students.

Shigaraki: Are you the boss? 

"No, it's the janitor. But of course he's the stupid boss!" Bakugo exclaimed.

Re-Destro: I didn't hear your answer.

"Does it matter? Whatever your answer is, it is not good." Yanagi said. The rest of the audience says nothing as the next episode begins to play.
