| The Todorokis reminisce on their past history that led them to this moment. Enji and Rei had discovered that while Toya possessed a fire Quirk greater than his father's, he had his mother's constitution, making him resistant to ice but weak to his own fire. In an attempt to protect him, Enji ceased all training with Toya, but when that refused to deter him, he decided to have more kids to make him lose his resolve. After Natsuo's birth, Shoto is born with the Quirk combination Enji desired, to his joy and Toya's devastation. After an incident where Toya had a breakdown and nearly attacked Shoto, Enji banned all interaction between Shoto and the other siblings. By the time he was 13, Toya continued to grow more emotionally distraught with his siblings and mother, while also training his Quirk to the point his fire grew from red to blue. He wanted to show his father his progress, but upon the realization he had continued his training, a furious Enji took his anger out on Rei. This reached her breaking point, resulting in the incident of Shoto's burning and her hospitalization, followed shortly after by Toya's supposed death as his Quirk went overload and burned the entire mountain down. In the present, Rei declares to Endeavor that he isn't the one suffering the most, and they all carry a small weight in Toya's downfall, so they will help deal with him together. Hawks and Best Jeanist then arrive, telling Endeavor about the current state of the world and requesting a team-up to help solve their problems together. Hawks then asks him about "One For All", as Endeavor's mention of it during the battle with Shigaraki has spread to the public asking questions, leading him to tell them about Midoriya. Meanwhile, All Might continues to watch over Midoriya alone, knowing he is currently having a conversation with the predecessors of One For All. | ||||||||

| Izuku awakens in the vestige world of One For All, where he encounters all eight predecessors of One For All (with the second and third users facing away from him). The first user reveals that between One For All's increased growth in power and All For One's intervention, they are now freely able to communicate with each other and Izuku. The fourth user and the user of Danger Sense, Hikage Shinomori, introduces himself to Izuku, as they discuss with him about the true nature of One For All. He reveals that he died at the age of 40 due to "old age", after holding One For All for 18 years. Aware that All Might held the power for 40 years, they determine that One For All greatly diminishes the lifespan of those who already possess a Quirk, and because All Might was Quirkless, he was saved from this burden. Due to this revelation, they surmise that due to the increased power in the Quirk and the decreasing Quirkless population, Izuku may be the last wielder of One For All. Nana then confronts Izuku, asking if he is resolved to kill Shigaraki, stating that All For One intends to use his intense rage to overwhelm and finally steal One For All, which he has failed to do in the past. They are aware that Izuku felt like he needed saving, but warn him that he could be beyond saving and turn into an unstoppable monster. Izuku stands firm that he saw a little boy crying within Shigaraki during their encounter, and that All Might showed him One For All is a power meant to save not kill, so while he is resolved to do so if he has to, he wants to try and save him first. The users accept his hand as Nana breaks down in tears, apologizing for testing him. Back outside, Hawks and Best Jeanist confront All Might about One For All and realizing he can't keep the secret anymore, reveals everything to them.

| Deku saves a tall mutant woman being attacked by panicking civilians who believe she's a villain, having All Might escort her to safety. While surveying the city with the One For All users, he thinks back to during the conversation with the vestiges when the first user Yoichi requests the Second and Third users' help in assisting Deku. They reveal they were from the era when All For One was at the peak of his power and part of a resistance fighting against him, unable to agree with Deku's idealistic beliefs. However, Yoichi reminds them how they had saved him from All For One's capture, rather than killing him like they were originally going to, and that was what allowed One For All to grow in the first place. They eventually are convinced to follow alongside him. Later after taking care of some thieves, Endeavor is lambasted by protesting civilians over his failures and for continuing to keep secrets. Endeavor, Hawks, and Best Jeanist proceed to discuss All For One's plans, believing he intends to completely hijack Shigaraki's body before pursuing Deku, and surmising he requires Shigaraki's hatred to steal One For All because he lacks any. Just then, Deku's GPS goes out while All Might's car is attacked by a smoke bomb. It turns out his phone was sniped by former Public Safety Commission Pro Hero Lady Nagant one of the Tartarus escapees sent by All For One to capture Deku. She uses her Quirk Rifle to shoot at him from afar, causing him to swing around the city and attempt to evade and defend. Lady Nagant is accompanied by Overhaul, who she had rescued from Tartarus, telling him to hide. A flashback shows that Nagant reluctantly agreed to All For One's request learning about Deku's overt idealism about hero society and accepted payment in the form of a second Quirk called Air Walk. | ||||||||

| All Might is cornered by two thugs, they are scared away by his sheer tenacity refusing to leave Deku behind. Deku swings through the city to reach Lady Nagant's location only to be caught off guard by more bullets coming from behind him, realizing she was given an extra Quirk by All For One to lure him closer to her. With no other option, Deku unleashes Smokescreen on the ground and begins to build up energy in his legs, which the third user recognizes as him using his Quirk Fa Jin. He warns him about using it since he has no experience, but he's successfully able to feint out Nagant in the smoke and use the energy boost to blast through a building and grab her. He demands to know why she follows All For One despite originally being a Pro Hero, and as she continues to shoot away at him, she explains her history. She was an assassin sent out by the Commission to kill corrupt heroes taking advantage of the system, as well as villains before they committed any crimes. All of the blood on her hands began to eat away at her mentally, considering everything about their society to be a sham. When she confronted her superior about this, he threatened her with silence, so she killed him in retaliation. This incident was covered up by saying she killed a fellow hero in a dispute. In response, Deku admits that everything isn't as black-and-white as he initially believed, but that's why he still intends to land a hand. To catch him off guard, Nagant suddenly aims her rifle at the nearby Overhaul. He had provided her information on who Deku was in order for her to take him to his Boss. She shoots at Overhaul, but with no hesitation, Deku uses the power of Fa Jin to become faster than a speeding bullet, knocking him out of the way, and uses his remaining strength to defeat Nagant. He saves her from falling, asking her to join their fight, believing she still has the heart of a hero within her. But before she can respond, her body suddenly explodes from within due to a failsafe All For One left inside her. Hawks arrives just in time to rescue her. With her last remaining strength, Nagant tells the Heroes of All For One's location. Endeavor apprehends Overhaul. After hearing him rant about apologizing to his Boss, Deku says he will follow Nagant's promise if he shows that same regret to Eri as well. As he sees Nagant's charred body, rage towards All For One begins to swell up within Deku. | ||||||||

| Deku attempts to escape from his classmates so they all try to restrain him. During their struggles, each Class 1-A student reminds Deku of something he had done for or said to them in the past, and how much their friendship means to them. Deku refuses to listen as he doesn't want them to be caught up in his battle against All For One and get hurt, as his way of "protecting" them. After almost every one of their attempts to talk or pin him down fail, Deku prepares to execute Faux 100 Percent to blast himself away for good, but Class 1-A combine all of their abilities to create a massive ramp which they use to blast Ida into the sky at blistering speeds, catching up to Deku and grabbing his hand. Ida repeats what Deku had said to him in the past when he saved him, that helping without being asked is the essence of a hero, causing Deku to start to give into his exhaustion. On the ground, he once again tries to keep his distance from everyone, but Bakugo confronts him, admitting the reason behind why he bullied him in the past. He sincerely apologizes for everything he said and done, telling him the class doesn't want to reject who he is, but support him to help save everyone. Deku finally gives in and apologizes himself before passing out. He wakes up in front of the now heavily-fortified U.A. only to be met by a mob of angry civilians demanding Deku not enter, aware that he is the boy Shigaraki is after. Deku is about to leave, but is stopped by Ochaco who tells him "It's gonna be fine". | ||||||||

Prior to rescuing Izuku, Nezu explained to Class 1-A the intricacies designed into the U.A. Barrier to keep it fortified from villains and to protect the civilians inside. In the present, the civilians protest Izuku's entry, believing his presence will put everyone in the school in danger. Best Jeanist tries to explain everything to get them to understand, but his words only make the crowd even more anxious over the Heroes' failures, stressing Izuku out. Ochaco then grabs the megaphone and floats on top of U.A., giving a speech pleading to the civilians to let Izuku rest because Heroes deserved to be saved too. As a result, the civilians start to see how battered and tired Izuku is and by the end of her speech, Izuku breaks down on his knees in tears. He is comforted by Kota and the mutant woman he saved earlier. One of the civilians speaks out to the rest of the crowd, admitting how much like bystanders they have been in their treatment towards the Heroes and that they should be doing their part to help in some way. After Izuku declares he will bring the world back to the way it was, the civilians accept him as he is escorted inside. Meanwhile, Nezu speaks to a recovering Aizawa in the Central Hospital, revealing that they had transferred Kurogiri to the location after the discovery of him being Shirakumo's Nomu, attempting to re-awaken him. Outside U.A., All Might leaves to find more civilians, thinking about his influence with Izuku's current state, all the while Stain continues to follow him. | ||||||||

All Might arrives at the site of his final battle in Kamino, lamenting his failure as a teacher and a hero, when he is confronted by Stain. Even after briefly revealing to him his muscle form to confirm his identity, Stain refuses to believe he is the "real All Might", and to take back his criticisms towards the hero. All Might explains his feelings on unable to make a difference due to the state of the world, only for Stain to show him a young girl who has been going out everyday to clean the All Might statue from its vandalism; the last person All Might saved during said battle. Stain tells him it wasn't power that made All Might great but his ability to inspire others and their wills to keep his flame burning, these words which start to move All Might. Stain promptly leaves, handing All Might a data disk he had retrieved from Tartarus, telling him to kill him when the time is right. At U.A., the boys give Izuku a swift soak in the bath, where Bakugo re-declares even after his apology, he still sees everyone as his rivals. After their clean-up, All Might arrives to apologize to Izuku, telling everyone they received information indicating the final battle is soon, heading back out to prepare. Izuku finally falls asleep and the rest of his classmates declare they will do everything to bring the world back. All Might meets up with Naomasa Tsukauchi and the Police Force where they decode the information from Tartarus. They discover that All For One's consciousness within Shigaraki was able to communicate with his real self through Radio Waves, with the conversation revealing that Shigaraki's body will be complete in just three days. All Might requests immediate aid from the foreign heroes, with the world governments unsure how to respond due to their own issues. Despite this, America's Number 1 Hero Star and Stripe is already en route to Japan on her own with an army of fighter jets, intending to assist her "master". Shortly afterwards, Izuku wakes up from a nightmare, greeted by his classmates, whose presence helps relieve him of his stress as they intend to save the day together. | ||||||||
