We start during class 1-A's graduation.
Shouta- I am happy, I am thankful and I am proud
said with a smile for the cameras at the countdown
Hitoshi on the same day is semi-recreating the returning sushi after graduation scene in classroom recollections but this time with peanut in place of sushi and Eri being the one Hitoshi gives the cat to instead of Nem.
Hitoshi gives an Oboro like smile as he turns to leave.
Shouta- but if I'm honest, I am seconds from breaking down
The motif of hero's moving before they had time to think gets applied to Shouta as he starts running after the class as they race down the U.A entrance hill in their hero costumes and using their quirks a kinda victory lap type vibe here.
Shouta to Hitoshi- as you orbit, gravity throws me to the ground.
Shouta finally joins the class in the air as he uses his capture scarf to swing among the lamp posts and rooftops. Hizashi and Eri are following them using Midnight's car. I can imagine Shouta dos the fwip and release scene from spider verse with Hitoshi during the next three lyrics
Shouta to Class 1-A- But I'll be starry eyed
Shouta to Hizashi and Eri- I'll be starry eyed,
The race is now over and Shouta looks on from a rooftop as the class and Hitoshi goes further.
Shouta to Hitoshi- I'll be starry eyed for you
Cut to a recovering from Kurogiri, Oboro in his hospital room.
Oboro- I brush the dust off, gain composure for another round.
when did my life become a series of countdowns?
Oboro to Nem- I curse the heavens for pulling you away from me.
at the same time, I pray that you found everything you sought.
In rhythm with the drum hits flashes of the rooftop gang in their younger years appear on screen for the next three lyrics.
Oboro to Nem- and i'll be starry eyed,
Oboro to Tensei- I'll be starry eyed,
Oboro to Shou and Hizashi- I'll be starry eyed for you-u
Picture of the roof top gang at their first culture festival flashes on screen.
Oboro to Rooftop Gang and Sushi- I'll be starry eyed for you.
We switch to a scene at the beach park where Deku did his training for the entrance exam. We focus on a post retirement Hizashi so he's now around 60 years old, He has now switched his signature red half rims for red, black and gold aviators. The entire Aizawa-Yamada family is there with him.
Hizashi- The whole world stares up in wonder at the night sky.
oh what a marvel to see our dreams go realized.
but all these bright lights run together after a while
and our blaze of glory turns ordinary over night.
our blaze of glory turns ordinary over night.
Different Aizawa-Yamada family members flash on screen in rhythm with the drum hits during the next two lyrics.
Hizashi- but i'll be starry eyed
I'll be starry eyed
In rhythm with the you extention Junsei, Jinsouka and Kioryū flash on screen.
Hizashi- I'll be starry eyed for you-u-u
The whole Aizawa-Yamada family now comes on screen like a family photo.
Hizashi- I'll be starry eyed for you.
We switch to a bedroom scene several years later at the Rooftop gang U.A abode. Shouta now 85 is in bed with Boo on his stomach. He's watching / Listening a surprise thank you message class 1-a and Hizashi made for him at the 50th class reunion on his phone as he drifts off to sleep with the last few lyrics.
Shouta- I am happy, I am thankful and I am proud
said with a smile for the cameras at the countdown.
but all these bright lights run together after a while
and our blaze of glory turns ordinary over night.
