Laugh! As If You Are in Hell During Midoriya's time at the Endeavor Agency, they are requested to deal with a threat known as "Mr. Smiley", a graffiti artist whose "Smile" Quirk allows him to make anyone who sees him laugh non-stop for two hours whenever they see him, with the police unable to stop him. Endeavor blows the request off, believing it to be beneath him, however after Mr. Smiley vandalizes his house, he tasks his entire force with tracking him down. The Endeavor Agency manage to locate him, but all of them become a victim of his Smile Quirk, letting him escape. Afterwards, Midoriya calls in Mei Hatsume to use a robot to try and apprehend him, but that fails as the robot is also vulnerable to his Quirk. Humiliated, Endeavor and Bakugo prepare a plan to take Mr. Smiley down without having to look at him. Meanwhile, Midoriya learns more about him, discovering that he was a former art student down on hard times, and recognizing him as being similar to himself, doing anything to accomplish his dreams. The Endeavor Agency tracks Mr. Smiley down once again to a commercial building, with Bakugo successfully able to overpower him, however Midoriya stops him before he can destroy Mr. Smiley's art piece. Midoriya confronts Mr. Smiley about his crimes, while also sympathizing over his love for his art, which gets through to him. Just then, the commercial building is attacked by bank robbers who shoot up the place. In retaliation, Mr. Smiley uses his Quirk on them, stopping them in their tracks with laughter, allowing them to be apprehended. Mr. Smiley turns himself in as well, wanting to atone for his crimes, and after being praised as a hero on the local live news, accidentally activates his Quirk, resulting in hysterical laughter all across the country.
