At a mental asylum in the countryside of Japan, a doctor oversees one of his patients from within his cell. He pulls out a recording device from his pocket and begins recording the conversation. 

Doctor: Patient interview #5. Patient name is unknown, diagnosed clinically insane after the brutal murders at least 25 men and women. How are we feeling today? 

The patient says nothing as he flashes a sadistic smile upon the Doctor. The Doctor has no visible reaction on his face as he jots down on his notebook.

Doctor: We've yet to find your name in any of the archives. Care to explain?

Patient: You know my name Doc. You know it.

Doctor: I'm afraid the Ripper is not your name. It is a delusional mental state brought on by psychological problems of unknown origin.

The Ripper then lets out a bloodcurdling laugh that sent chills down the Doctor's spine as he jotted his actions in his notebook. 

The Ripper: Is that all for today Doc? I'm getting bored! 

Doctor: We're trying to help you.

The Ripper: Ha! A regular fucking Hero are we?! You want to help me Doc? You want to cure me? Make me.....normal?

Doctor: Very poor choice of words. No one is normal.

The Ripper: Is that so Doc? Hehehehehe.........

Doctor: I see.....the police report states that you murdered 25 women in the past three months. Each with their throat slit and their bodies drained of blood. They were also left.....posed. 

The Ripper lets out a sinister laugh as the Doctor recounts his crimes to him. He then smiled at the Doctor.

The Ripper: I'm.......an artist. My Quirk.....is my paintbrush.....and my victims are my.....cadavers.....what I leave behind is my art! 

Doctor: Speaking of your Quirk, your Quirk allows you to manipulate not only your blood but the blood of others. All you have to do is simply cut yourself and you can use the blood to create various weapons. Is that correct?

The Ripper simply nods.

Doctor: And the drawback is that it leaves you with Anemia. The severity of it depends on how much blood you use. 

The Ripper: Good job Doc! Good fucking job! 

As the Doctor conducted the interview, a storm waged outside the insane asylum. The Doctor paid no mind as he continued. The Doctor soon finds the interview with the Ripper to be going no where.

Doctor: The Patient is uncooperative. Perhaps another time.

But as the Doctor said that, the storm causes a power outage in the asylum. The Ripper begins to laugh manically. The Ripper tackles the Doctor and begins strangling him. 

The Ripper: LET'S HAVE SOME FUCKING FUN SHALL WE?!

The Doctor attempts to fight back, but the Ripper proves to be too strong for the Doctor to fight back as the crazed serial killer strangles the Doctor to death. When he finishes, the Ripper walks up to the Doctor's recording device and picks it up.

The Ripper: Let the fun begin!

As the Ripper lay out his chilling message, two of the guards burst into the room, armed with pistols.

Guard: Stand down! Don't move!

The Ripper looked to the ground and saw the Doctor's pen. He got to his knees and picked it up. Once he got it, he cut his arm with the pen. The Ripper lets out a maniacal laughter.

The Ripper: Oh yes.....that's the stuff!!!

As the arm bleeds, the Ripper activates his Quirk as he forms a scythe. Before the guards could react, he slashes one of the guard's throats and severs the legs of another. As the first guard dies, he uses his Quirk to form a spear from the guard's blood and thrust it through the guard's skull. The Ripper feels exhilaration from the slaughter. 

The Ripper: Yes.....yes......YES!!!

The Ripper proceeds to slaughter his way through the asylum, leaving a trail of blood and bodies in his wake. Meanwhile on a highway, a man and woman ride their car back to Musutafu. As they drive, they see a hitchhiker. They stop as the woman calls out to him.

Woman: Hey mister! Need a ride! 

Without hesitation, the stranger enters the car. As they begin to drive, the woman notices the scar on the stranger's arm.

Woman: Are you okay sir?! Your arm is all cut up!

As the woman pointed the injury out, the radio announces a breaking news story.

Radio: We interrupt this broadcast with breaking news! An inmate by the name of the Ripper has escaped from the Musutafu Asylum. He was incarcerated after being convicted in for the murder of 25 men and women.

The Ripper lets out a smile as he forms a blood scythe and proceeds to brutally murder the woman. The man stops the car and attempts to run away, but the Ripper uses the blood scythe to sever the man's foot. As the man crawls away, the Ripper begins skipping towards him.

The Ripper(Singing): Here we go gathering nuts in May, nuts in May, nuts in May! Here we go gathering nuts in may on a cold and frosty morning! Whoops!!!

Man: P...please......

The Ripper then uses the man's blood to form a spear and proceeds to repeatedly stab the mean to death. After brutally killing the man, he takes his body and the woman's and poses them as if they were dancing. After that, the Ripper looks to the road that lead to Musutafu.

The Ripper: It'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!

The Ripper lets out a maniacal laugh as he takes the couple's car and drives to Musutafu, ready to unleash his brand of terror and madness on the town.
