W-why... why are you doing this? C-can't you see the d-damage you've caused?
I could say the same about you
Wh-what do you mean? W-why would you say that?
Say the exact opposite of what your saying, then you'll know what i mean
Wait, so if I say the opposite of what I mean, then you'll understand? Okay, let me try... I don't want to fight, I actually want to be friends with you.
Great but what if I said the same thing
If you said the same thing, it would mean that you actually want to be friends and not fight. So, it would be a lie. But... maybe...
Are you trying to be sarcastic or ironic right now
No, I'm not being sarcastic or ironic. I'm just trying to understand what you're saying. Can you please clarify?
Your name is Bullakon, a notorious villain who wreaks havoc and destruction wherever you go. But... deep down, I think there's more to you than meets the eye.
Because I've been following your career for a while now, studying your actions and motivations. There's something about you that draws me in, despite our differences.
Why would a hero be interested in a villain
takes a step closer, his voice trembling Because, deep down, I think we both want the same thing. Justice.
Justice!? If you really believed that I would have committed arson on this city, I wouldn't be here talking to you. No, the reason why you drew in was because of your curiosity about me.
voice shaking You're right. I won't deny that I'm curious about you. But that doesn't mean I don't believe in justice. I just... I want to understand you, Bullakon.
Understand me? Understand yourself first before understanding others. You may not know this about me but I'm considered one of the most dangerous villains in this city. I've done plenty of evil deeds because of my lack of empathy. Not because I'm born evil but because I never had anyone to guide me on the right path. If you're going to try to help me, the least thing you could do would be to treat me as a person
takes a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination You're right, Bullakon.
He prepares his weapon This conversation has gone far enough. I will show you what this weapon can do.
takes a step back, but doesn't flinch I won't let you hurt anyone else.
And I won't let myself hurt anyone else either. It's a two way street after all
moves swiftly, grabbing Bullakon's arm and disarming him Stop! Please, don't hurt anyone. Let's find another way, together.
We aren't exactly enemies you know
holds Bullakon's gaze, a small smile forming on his lips You're right, we aren't enemies. Maybe... just maybe, we can be something more.
leans in closer, his voice barely above a whisper Maybe... we can be allies. Or maybe... something even more unexpected. Like... friends.
Friends? A hero and a villain being friends?
smiles warmly Yes, friends. People can change, Bullakon.
Thank you, Bullakon. I promise, together we can make a difference. extends his hand for a handshake
He shakes his hand Good then. You made a wise decision
pauses, his smile fading But before we can be friends, we need to confront our pasts. I need to face my own demons, and you need to face yours.
takes a deep breath, his voice determined Let's start by facing our past actions head-on.
narrows his eyes, his tone firm But I won't let you off the hook that easily. We'll have to work through this together, step by step.
summons a holographic screen, displaying images and videos of Bullakon's past crimes Let's start by reliving your past actions.
Sure, anything for the greater good
nods solemnly Remember this moment, Bullakon. Remember the pain and fear you caused.
places a hand on Bullakon's shoulder Bullakon, I understand that you may not fully realize the extent of the damage you've caused.
pauses, his voice filled with empathy But I also believe that everyone has the capacity for change. As Izuku Midoriya continues to guide Bullakon through his past actions, a wave of overwhelming guilt washes over Bullakon, causing him to break down in tears.
