Episode Title:
Makoto/Truth
Episode Description:
At college, Koichi is approached by upperclassman Makoto Tsukauchi, offering to assist him with his homework. She visits him at his Penthouse (where Pop is already there hiding), and lectures him on the history of Vigilantes, including their origin during the era of the birth of Quirks, and what led to their fall in being classified as Villains. She further reveals she is doing a personal investigation on the Naruhata Vigilantes and wants Koichi to help her. Later, Makoto talks with her brother, Detective Tsukauchi, who warns her about the potential danger of getting involved with "Villains". On another day, Koichi shows off his improved techniques with his Quirk, impressing Knuckleduster but annoying Pop, who is jealous of Makoto. Koichi meets up with Makoto as they take to the streets to gauge the civilians' opinions on the Vigilantes, in her effort to learn what makes them different from Heroes and Villains. They learn that "The Cruller" is considered by many to be creepy, Pop☆Step is praised but also particularly noted for her butt, and "Freaky Fist Grandpa" is viewed with wary; Koichi is dejected to hear about his reception. Suddenly a thief steals Makoto's laptop, so Koichi secretly suits up and goes after him, though Jube and Ichimoku are the ones who actually defeat him. Afterwards, Makoto uses her "Polygraph" Quirk on Koichi and asks him if he's "The Cruller"; he naturally says no, which is viewed as a truth. As a result, Makoto feels stumped about her report, while elsewhere Koichi voices his complaint about nobody calling him "The Crawler".
