| After Uraraka loses her match against Bakugo, Izuku faces Shoto and tries convincing him to use his Quirk to its full potential. This causes Shoto to remember how his father Endeavor married his mother Rei to produce a child with both of their Quirks, Endeavor's obsession with usurping All Might's position as the number-one hero putting a strain on their family that resulted in Rei being sent to a mental institution. The memory of Rei encouraging him to use his father's power convinces Shoto to fight at his full potential, defeating Izuku and later Ida before ultimately losing to Bakugo in the final round.

The video of Stain's rant soon goes viral, with the League of Villains exploiting Stain's reputation to recruit new members. Following the internships, All Might decides to tell Izuku the truth behind One For All and the identity of the mastermind behind the League of Villains: All For One, the villain who gravely wounded All Might and has the ability to steal Quirks.

Following All Might's official retirement and U.A. having its students live on campus for their safety, All For One is placed in the maximum-security prison known as "Tartarus", where he muses on the idea of Shigaraki eventually surpassing him. | ||||

Shoto attempts to fend off Gang Orca with his flames when they get diverted by the wind Quirk of Shiketsu student Inasa "Gale Force" Yoarashi, the two having trouble working together due to Inasa's past experience with Endeavor before they put their differences aside to weaken Gang Orca and allow Izuku to finish him off as the others save the remaining victims. While the other Class 1-A students receive their Provisional Licenses, Shoto and Bakugo are required to take a three-month course to obtain theirs alongside Inasa. Furthermore, it is revealed "Camie" was actually Toga in disguise, as she returns to the League of Villains with a vial of Midoriya's blood. As this all occurs, All Might interrogates All For One in prison while vowing to the villain that Shigaraki will not kill him or Deku.

| As Izuku uses 8% of One For All to keep up with Bakugo, he learns that Bakugo blames himself for All Might's retirement as he manages to beat Izuku. All Might, watching the fight, makes himself known and informs Bakugo that he shouldn't be blaming himself. Bakugo then learns the history of One For All and vows to keep it a secret as he and Izuku are suspended from classes for a few days (Bakugo got a four-day suspension as he started the fight, while Izuku got suspended for three days), All Might believing this outcome necessary to help the two become proper rivals in their quests to become heroes. The fall semester begins with Principal Nezu announcing that the first-year students will begin "hero work-studies" earlier than planned due to the rising villain threat. Once Izuku's suspension has been lifted as well as writing an apology letter for his misbehavior, he learns that Class 1-A's training will be overseen by U.A.'s top students – the Big Three. Meanwhile, the League of Villains member Twice, who suffers psychological trauma from using his duplication Quirk on himself years ago, observes how All Might's retirement and public distrust of Endeavor is causing a surge in villain activity. He is approached by a crime boss named Kai "Overhaul" Chisaki, who tricks him into taking him to the League of Villains so he can request their services, intent on filling the power vacuum left by All For One's defeat. This results in a fight where Overhaul murders Magne and maims Mr. Compress. Overhaul takes his leave, offering Shigaraki time to reconsider his offer. The next day, Izuku is aided by the Big Three's Mirio Togata in applying for the agency of Sir Nighteye, a former sidekick of All Might's who is investigating Overhaul. Despite his reservations of Deku while revealing his "Foresight" Quirk showed him a vision of All Might's death, Sir Nighteye allows him to join his agency. Sometime later, Izuku and Mirio run into Overhaul and a frightened young girl. | ||||

Izuku, Uraraka, Kirishima and Tsuyu Asui learn that Sir Nighteye has organized a meeting with the other Hero Agencies and numerous pro-heroes to discuss the threat posed by Overhaul's Shie Hassaikai clan.

With intel on the layout of the Shie Hassaikai's headquarters and support from the police, the heroes stage a dawn raid, with Ryukyu's group subduing several of the yakuza while Nighteye and Fat Gum's groups proceed to the lower levels. The Shie Hassaikai member Joi Irinaka uses a Quirk-enhancing drug to take control of the basement level to separate the intruders, Tamaki holding off three members of Overhaul's "Eight Bullets" enforcers while Kirishima and Fat Gum are pushed to their limits in defeating the Eight Bullets members Kendo Rappa and Hekiji Tengai, with the former revealing Overhaul's plans.

| Though Shigaraki loaned the reluctant Toga and Twice to Overhaul's services as per their agreement, the duo is encouraged by their leader's confidence to act on their own violation to avenge Magne by taking advantage of the raid to sabotage the Shie Hassaikai. They first do this by provoking Irinaka into exposing himself to the heroes, who capture him. Meanwhile, after defeating Shin Nemoto and Deidoro Sakaki, Mirio finds Eri and battles Overhaul, as the crime boss admits that he lied about being Eri's father, revealing that he is actually her uncle. Mirio nearly wins the fight, but Nemoto forces him to take one of the completed Quirk-destroying bullets by firing it at Eri. Mirio continues to fight despite being rendered Quirkless as Izuku, Aizawa and Sir Nighteye arrive in time. Overhaul's subordinate Hari Kurono removes himself and Aizawa from play, revealing Eri to be the previous Hassaikai boss's granddaughter. Overhaul then utilizes his matter-manipulating Quirk to absorb Nemoto and transforms into a four-armed monster, with Nighteye holding him off while Izuku takes Mirio and Eri to safety. Nighteye, having seen a future where Overhaul escapes with Eri and kills Izuku, is mortally wounded while Overhaul uses Nemoto's Quirk to guilt-trip Eri into coming back to him. The fight is interrupted when Toga, posing as Izuku, tricks Ryukyu's team into attacking the basement during their fight with Hassaikai clan member Rikiya Katsukame. Eri is encouraged by the heroes' resolve to save her, revealing that her Quirk has the ability to "rewind" living things, separating Nemoto from Overhaul while Izuku gets her to safety. Overhaul pursues them after assimilating Rikiya, warning Izuku that continued exposure to Eri's Quirk will rewind him out of existence. This convinces Izuku to use One For All at 100%, with Eri's Quirk healing his injuries as he defeats Overhaul, much to Nighteye's shock. | ||||

The League then intercepts the police convoy to enact their revenge on Overhaul while Dabi burns the sand-powered hero Snatch to death. Shigaraki and Mr. Compress destroy both of Overhaul's arms so he will never be able to use his Quirk again, preventing Overhaul from undoing the coma he placed his former boss, Eri's grandfather, in when he took over the Shie Hassaikai. The villains then leave with four Quirk-destroying bullets. Meanwhile, after being checked out of the hospital, Izuku learns that Sir Nighteye's injuries are fatal as he, All Might and Mirio visit the man in his final moments. At the same time, Gran Torino and the police capture Kurogiri while encountering one of All For One's servants, Gigantomachia.

| Izuku ends up in the vestige world after being subdued by Shinso's Quirk and meets his predecessor Daigoro Banjo, who reveals that Izuku used his Quirk "Blackwhip" when it responded to his intent to capture Monoma. Banjo explains that the core of One For All has grown so large that its previous owners' Quirks are manifesting within Deku and that he must learn to control his emotions before using them. Regaining consciousness, Izuku and Uraraka regroup with Mina Ashido and Minoru Mineta as the match turns into a no-holds-barred fist fight. Despite Monoma's gambit after being captured, Izuku manages to defeat Shinso while his classmates capture the others. The Joint Training ends with Class 1-A's victory and Shinso earning a passing grade that will allow him to possibly transfer onto the Hero Course. As Aizawa later takes Monoma to visit Eri, with Izuku encouraging her to master her Quirk, Bakugo and Shoto finally earn their Hero Licenses. Meanwhile, the League of Villains are approached by All For One's right-hand-man, Dr. Kyudai Garaki, who offers his services to them if Shigaraki can defeat Gigantomachia. However, the League's progress is interrupted when they learn their information broker Giran has been abducted by a terrorist organization known as the Meta Liberation Army, whose leader Re-Destro invites them to Deika City for an ultimatum. | ||||

| The Meta Liberation Army, led by their founder's descendent Re-Destro, is determined to crush the League of Villains. As the ragtag group fights over 100,000 members of the MLA for their future, the tragic events that turned them each to villainy are revealed. Toga manages to kill the mad bomber Ms. Curious when her Quirk evolves and allows her to use the Quirks of anyone she transforms into, while Twice overcomes his traumatic existential crisis to use his duplication Quirk on himself. As Gigantomachia arrives, Shigaraki reveals that he can use his power without directly touching his victim as he destroys Re-Destro's base, forcing him out onto the field. During the fight, Shigaraki begins to remember his past. | ||||

| Tomura remembers accidentally killing his family when his Quirk first manifested, enabling him to use his powers to the fullest. Re-Destro is forced to amputate his legs to survive, surrendering while acknowledging that Tomura embodies his father's ideals. The League then takes control of the MLA and Gigantomachia recognizes Shigaraki as All for One's true successor. The two groups then join forces and form the Paranormal Liberation Front, a force Hawks believes could bring about the end of hero society. After the Christmas holidays, the student internships resume and Shoto invites Bakugo and Izuku to intern with Endeavor, with the two accepting. On the first day, the four meet Hawks, who gives Endeavor a book written by Destro with a concealed message. Endeavor deciphers it and learns Shigaraki will stage a nationwide attack in four months' time. Meanwhile, Shigaraki gets Dr. Garaki's aid to gain more power and destroy All Might's legacy. | ||||

| Understanding the Hero Public Safety Commission's reason for the Work Study program to prepare everyone for Tomura's attack, Endeavor accepts Izuku and Bakugo as his students while instructing them and Shoto to spend their winter break trying to outpace him into intercepting a villain. A week into the work studies, Izuku and Bakugo have dinner at the Todoroki residence with the situation getting uncomfortable due to the family drama involving Shoto's brother Natsuo being unable to forgive their father for the death of their older brother Toya Todoroki, who burned himself alive after his Quirk went out of control. The following day, Natsuo is kidnapped by a suicidal villain named Ending who wants Endeavor to kill him. Izuku and his friends rescue Natsuo while Endeavor apologizes for failing him as a father, deciding to cut ties with his family for their wellbeing. As Class 1-A begins their third semester, Aizawa and Present Mic are called to Tartarus Prison where they are informed that Kurogiri is a Nomu created from the corpse of their school friend Oboro Shirakumo. Aizawa manages to reach what remains of Shirakumo's mind and gets "Hospital" from his friend before the Kurogiri persona reasserts itself. Meanwhile, All Might concludes his research on the Quirks of the previous One for All owners and delivers it to Izuku. Three months later, on a late March day, the heroes launch an all-out assault on Shigaraki's mountain base while most hero school students are tasked with a nation-wide evacuation of citizens. | ||||

| The students of U.A. and the Pro Heroes join forces to attack the Paranormal Liberation Front. The Heroes led by Endeavor raid the hospital in order to capture Shigaraki, and Mirko manages to locate the laboratory where he is reaching the final stages of his upgrade. While the Pro Heroes are busy fighting Dr. Garaki's released Nomus and evacuating patients, he is forced to activate his remaining High-End Nomus to buy time and complete Shigaraki's upgrades. Meanwhile, the other Heroes and students launch their attack on the mountain base, while Hawks confronts Twice. Dabi intervenes to help his companion, but Hawks still manages to deal a fatal blow to Twice, killing him. Dabi defeats Hawks and tells him his real name, but Tokoyami comes to his rescue, while Endeavor and the other Heroes come to Mirko's aid against the High-Ends. | ||||

| Mirko and Present Mic destroy the tank containing Shigaraki, leaving him in a state of apparent death due to the interruption of his stabilization process. However, Shigaraki suddenly awakens, with Dr. Garaki revealing that the treatment was to grant him All For One's Quirk. At the base of the Front, Tokoyami manages to escape with the now-unconscious Hawks, while Gigantomachia perceives the scent of his master and begins to move. Upon awakening, Shigaraki uses All For One's Quirk to amplify his "Decay" Quirk and kill many Heroes while also destroying the hospital and much of the surrounding city. He then starts to pursue his next objective: stealing One For All. Endeavor confronts Shigaraki as the latter begins to hone on Deku's position, forcing him and Bakugo to lure him away to a deserted area. Gran Torino pushes the two youths away from Shigaraki as the other Heroes begin to fight him, with his Quirks erased thanks to Aizawa. Shigaraki still prevails over Endeavor and Ryukyu, and attempts to kill Aizawa, but is stopped by Deku and Bakugo. | ||||

| Deku, Bakugo and the other Heroes engage in a fight with Shigaraki. Gigantomachia brings the rest of the League of Villains with him to reach Shigaraki and overwhelms all the Heroes who try to stop him, so Yaoyorozu organizes a plan to stop his advance. The students are able to briefly stall the monster, allowing Kirishima to throw a sedative into his mouth, but it appears to be ineffective. Gran Torino is nearly killed by Shigaraki, who also throws one of the Quirk-Destroying Bullets at Aizawa, forcing him to amputate his own leg before the drug can spread throughout his body. Shoto joins the fight, but Shigaraki gouges one of Aizawa's eyes out, allowing him to regenerate as Gigantomachia continues his path of destruction, destroying various cities. Shigaraki's body begins to tear itself apart as his upgrade is incomplete, while Deku unlocks Nana Shimura's Quirk, giving him the ability to float in mid-air. While Deku continues to fight Shigaraki regardless of the consequences on his physique, Bakugo prepares a plan to help him. Endeavor uses his most powerful move on Shigaraki, but All For One takes control of his body and, after injuring Endeavor, tries to kill Deku, only for Bakugo to save him and get stabbed in his place. | ||||

| Seeing Bakugo injured causes Deku to snap and, in the chaos, Shigaraki manages to touch him and attempts to steal One For All. Although All For One tries to help Shigaraki while also attempting to take control of his body, the two are repelled by All For One's younger brother and Nana. Meanwhile, the Villains approach the hospital ruins as Toga breaks off from the others. Disguising herself as a civilian, she lures Uraraka into an abandoned house where she attacks and asks her a question; when she receives her answer, she escapes. Gigantomachia reaches Shigaraki, and Dabi reveals himself as the previously thought-dead Toya Todoroki, now obsessed with destroying Endeavor's reputation as revenge for replacing him with his younger brother. Skeptic publicly broadcasts Dabi's message, in which he reveals Endeavor's abusive past and Hawks' killing of Twice. Dabi prepares to incinerate the Heroes with a powerful attack, but both he and the rest of the villains are ambushed by Best Jeanist, who arrives on the scene. The High-Ends attack Best Jeanist, but are stopped by Mirio, whose Quirk has been restored by Eri. Deku stops Dabi before he can kill Shoto in front of Endeavor. Meanwhile, Gigantomachia breaks free, only to be repelled by a last-ditch effort from Endeavor, who then falls unconscious from exhaustion, while the anesthetic that the U.A. students force-fed Gigantomachia finally kicks in and knocks him out. Mr. Compress mutilates his own body using his Quirk to escape Best Jeanist's binds and rescue his companions. Deku unlocks the fourth bearer's Quirk, "Danger Sense", while All For One regains control of Shigaraki's body and calls the remaining High-Ends to allow the villains to escape. | ||||

| Despite many of the Villains and Paranormal Liberation Front warriors being arrested, Shigaraki and several other high-ranking Villains manage to escape the Heroes, who are forced to deal with their own casualties, while Izuku and the other wounded Heroes are taken to Central Hospital. It is revealed that at least nineteen Heroes were killed during the battle, including U.A. faculty member Midnight, whose mangled corpse is found by the horrified students of Class 1-A. That same night, the High-Ends and Shigaraki (now fully under the control of All For One) break into Tartarus, freeing All For One's original body and causing numerous Villains to escape in the ensuing carnage. Two days after the battle, most of the wounded recover, but Izuku is revealed to be in a coma. With the public having turned their backs on hero society following the disastrous battle and Dabi's shocking revelations, many Pro Heroes retire in disgrace, while civilians take matters into their own hands against the ongoing villain crisis. Endeavor is visited by his family, including his wife Rei, and Shoto asks his father for help in taking down Dabi for good. Hawks and Best Jeanist offer to help the Todorokis track him down and restore order to society. Izuku, meanwhile, finds himself in the vestige world and talks to his predecessors. The vestiges reveal to him that One For All slowly kills anyone who already has a Quirk, and that Izuku will almost certainly be the last-ever user due to the Quirkless population declining. Nana asks Izuku if he can kill Shigaraki, leading him to say that he wants to try and save him first. All Might decides to reveal the truth about One For All to the Heroes as more information starts to leak out as a result of the battle. Endeavor, Hawks and Best Jeanist later hold a press conference, in which the former two admit that everything Dabi said was true, and they will stop at nothing to make things right again. With All For One now actively hunting him down in order to steal his Quirk, Izuku is forced to drop out of U.A., leaving farewell letters to his classmates that reveal to them the dark secrets of One For All. | ||||

| After the total collapse of hero society following the disastrous Paranormal Liberation War, Izuku teams up with All Might, Endeavor, Hawks and Best Jeanist, heading out into the crime-ridden cities with the purpose of taking down the escaped convicts and remnants of the Paranormal Liberation Front. After defeating Muscular in a one-sided rematch, Izuku is ambushed by an assassin hired by All For One, a former Pro Hero named Lady Nagant, who turned traitor after discovering the vast corruption within the Hero Public Safety Commission. During the battle, Izuku unlocks the Quirk of the third user, "Fa Jin", allowing him to tap into nearly 100% of One For All's power and defeat Nagant. Izuku convinces Nagant to switch sides, believing that she still has the heart of a hero, but her body suddenly explodes due to a self-destruction Quirk All For One gave Nagant without her knowledge. Hawks manages to save Nagant from dying, and she reveals the location of the Villains' supposed hideout, where a video recording of All For One taunts Izuku before detonating a bomb in an attempt to kill the Heroes. Izuku continues to grow more physically and emotionally weary in his pursuit of stopping the villains and keeping everyone safe, even to the point of abandoning All Might and becoming a full-on vigilante. Izuku's exhaustion eventually gets to him and he is almost killed by another of All For One's assassins, until he is suddenly rescued by Bakugo, who alerts the rest of Class 1-A that he's found him. | ||||

| After Izuku drops out of U.A., the rest of Class 1-A declare their intentions to confront him about his decision. Cornering Endeavor, they are able to convince him to let them go out, and eventually manage to track him down. When Izuku refuses to stop his reckless vigilantism and attempts to flee, they end up chasing him down while reminding Izuku of all he's done to each of them and why they want to be with him in order to convince him to return to U.A. Unable to keep him restrained, the class works together and are able to stop Izuku from escaping. Bakugo finally apologizes to Izuku for his relentless bullying during their childhood, which convinces Izuku to give up before he promptly collapses from exhaustion. However, when Class 1-A returns to U.A., an angry mob of refugees who believe that Izuku's presence will put everyone in danger tries to attack him, but Uraraka is able to convince them to stand down, saying that Izuku is now their only hope of stopping the Villains. After getting a hard scrub-down from his classmates and reconciling with All Might, Izuku is finally able to rest peacefully. However, with the threat of All For One and Shigaraki still looming, All Might decides to contact heroes from other countries – with America's number-one hero Star and Stripe answering the call. | ||||

| Aware of Star and Stripe's impending arrival in Japan, All For One plans to steal her Quirk, the reality-warping ability "New Order", believing that obtaining both it and One For All will make him completely unstoppable. He uses Shigaraki's body to do battle with her, while Shigaraki himself begins to merge with the vestige of All For One inside his mind. After a hard-hitting battle, Shigaraki succeeds in stealing "New Order" and kills Star and Stripe with "Decay". However, at the last moment, Star and Stripe turns her own Quirk into a virus that destroys several of Shigaraki's Quirks before self-destructing, forcing Shigaraki to flee the battlefield and go back into hiding. The news of Star and Stripe's death causes the United Nations to declare Japan a "no man's land" and withdraw all of their planned aid, much to the anger of many foreign Heroes. Meanwhile, Class 1-A prepares for the decisive battle against All For One, only for it to be revealed that Yuga Aoyama is the League of Villains' spy within U.A., having taken up the role after All For One gave him his "Navel Laser" Quirk several years prior. Izuku and Toru Hagakure discover this secret and apprehend Aoyama and his parents. However, recognizing Aoyama as a victim of All For One's machinations, Class 1-A decide to use him as part of a plan to catch All For One off-guard. Aizawa reassures Aoyama that he has his full support, while the students and staff of U.A. prepare for the final battle that will decide the fate of hero society. | ||||

| The Heroes prepare for their plan to defeat All For One, Shigaraki, and the rest of the Paranormal Liberation Front by splitting them up so they are unable to assist each other. Meanwhile, the Villains make their own preparations as Toga is given a vial of Twice's blood by Dabi, Spinner is assigned to command an army of mutant Quirk users, and Shigaraki's body undergoes a disturbing transformation. As the day of the operation approaches, Class 1-A move out of U.A. into another structure to await further orders, where Izuku and Uraraka talk about their personal feelings towards each other and the villains. When the day arrives, All For One orders Aoyama to lure Izuku to a remote location so he can steal One For All, but Aoyama betrays and successfully tricks him into warping the entirety of the Paranormal Liberation Front to their location, just as the Heroes themselves are summoned to the battlefield using Kurogiri's "Warp Gate" Quirk, copied by Monoma. They activate the "Troy" defense system, trapping the villains in cages that are then thrown through Warp Gates to locations all over Japan. Shigaraki is taken to a now-floating U.A., but Izuku is sent into the wrong portal after Toga ambushes him. Despite his Quirks being nullified by Monoma copying Aizawa's "Erasure" Quirk, Shigaraki's body suddenly mutates and his arm transforms into a never-ending swarm of fingers, immediately putting the Heroes on the defensive. On Okuto Island, Toga goes completely insane and attempts to kill Izuku after he rejects her love confession, but he is able to escape from the battlefield thanks to Uraraka and Tsuyu. In Kamino Ward, Shoto faces off against Dabi, whose body is rapidly burning up from severe over-usage of his "Blueflame" Quirk. Dabi reveals that All For One and Dr. Garaki rescued him on the day of his apparent death, and he devoted his entire existence to killing his family after discovering that Endeavor had not changed at all following his "death". Realizing his brother's intentions, Shoto declares that he will put a stop to Dabi's madness himself. | ||||

| As Dabi's firepower grows increasingly unstable, Shoto unveils his Ultimate Move, "Phosphor", a perfect blend of his "hot" and "cold" sides that is able to overwhelm Dabi's "Blueflame" Quirk and finally knock him out. News of Shoto's victory spreads throughout the other battlefields, including a group of U.A. students and Pro Heroes defending Gigantomachia's containment facility from the Paranormal Liberation Front, and another defending Central Hospital from a gigantified Spinner, whose army of mutants is attempting to free Kurogiri. Endeavor and Hawks face off against All For One at Gunga Mountain, but Endeavor is incapacitated after All For One uses the revelation of his role in Dabi's survival to deliver a knockout blow. Jiro and Tokoyami arrive to save Hawks, and during the ensuing scuffle, the Quirks that All For One has stolen unexpectedly begin to rebel against him, allowing the three to land a devastating attack that shatters All For One's protective mask. A reinvigorated Endeavor re-enters the fight and unleashes his full power on All For One, seemingly incinerating him - only for the supervillain's old wounds to suddenly begin healing. Elsewhere at U.A., the Heroes find themselves unable to damage the continually mutating Shigaraki, with Bakugo taking a considerable amount of punishment during the fight. Mirio joins the battle, and a comment he makes about Shigaraki having no friends re-awakens the spirit of Tenko Shimura, causing the vestige of All For One inside Shigaraki's mind to realize that they aren't as fully merged as he believed. Bakugo makes one final attempt to attack Shigaraki by using his "Explosion" Quirk at its absolute limit, only for Shigaraki to punch a hole straight through his chest and seemingly kill him. | ||||

| ||||
| At the same time as Bakugo's apparent demise, Dabi's "Blueflame" Quirk undergoes an awakening and he creates a twisted version of Shoto's "Phosphor" technique, overwhelming his brother and incinerating the nearby Heroes. It is also revealed that All For One used an artificial duplicate of the Quirk-Destroying Drug to revert his body back to its prime, despite knowing that it will eventually rewind him out of existence. Back at U.A., Edgeshot uses his Quirk's ultimate technique to turn his entire body into threads and insert himself into Bakugo's body to save his life, despite the risk to his own. As the Heroes continue to fight Shigaraki, his body mutates again into a more powerful form and he quickly defeats most of them. However, Mirio manages to distract Shigaraki long enough for the electrical barrier around U.A. to be opened, allowing a returning Izuku to join the fight. While he initially goes berserk after seeing Bakugo's apparently lifeless body and the other unconscious Heroes, Mirio is able to calm him down. Izuku confronts the vestige of All For One inside Shigaraki's mind about his condition, and while the former claims that the latter has been completely assimilated, Mirio's revelation about his previous outburst leads them to realize that he's still trying to break free of his master's control. Unlocking the Quirk of the Second User, "Gearshift", Izuku utilizes the full power of One For All to completely overwhelm Shigaraki in battle. Meanwhile, Spinner and his army of mutants, consisting of Paranormal Liberation Front soldiers and rioting civilians, storm Central Hospital to free Kurogiri. Mezo Shoji and Koji Koda help defend the hospital, sympathizing with their fellow mutants' plight while still striving to protect the innocent civilians inside. Spinner's deteriorating mental state, caused by him being given extra Quirks by All For One, prevents him from leading the mutants properly and they stand down after seeing him massacre a group of hospital workers. Spinner still manages to make it to Kurogiri's containment cell and, despite Present Mic's best efforts, is able to awaken him by pleading with him to save Shigaraki. Kurogiri then begins warping the Villains to their "proper" battlefields, including sending Dabi to his father's location at the Gunga Mountain, as well as Toga, who has used Twice's blood to transform into him and create an army of Doubles. | ||||

| After swallowing Twice's blood and being warped to the Gunga Mountains by Kurogiri, Toga unleashes "Sad Man's Parade", quickly overwhelming the Heroes on the battlefield, including Uraraka and Tsuyu who followed her through the portal. All For One tries to take advantage of the chaos and escape to Shigaraki's location, but he is stopped by Hawks, while Endeavor lures Dabi away. At U.A., Kurogiri warps Present Mic and several more Twice Doubles to Aizawa and Monoma's position, causing Monoma's "Erasure" to be undone and allowing Shigaraki to regain the use of his Quirks. At the same time, Skeptic hacks into U.A. and disables its engines, causing it to start plummeting towards the ground. However, the Heroes are saved by two former foes: Gentle and La Brava. The latter works with the police to counter-hack Skeptic and reveal his location to the Heroes, while the former uses his Quirk to save the school from falling. A recovering Lady Nagant also aids in the battle by blowing Shigaraki's hands off when he attempts to use "Decay". Shigaraki destroys the vestige of All For One inside his mind and reclaims his body, declaring his intention to destroy everything that both All For One and the Heroes represent. Izuku tackles Shigaraki out of U.A., beginning their final battle on the streets below. The Business Course students film the battle, which is livestreamed around the world by La Brava, inspiring news broadcasters to record the other battles as well. Aizawa and Present Mic nearly fall to their deaths, but are warped away by Kurogiri, whose "Shirakumo" personality is beginning to resurface. Back at Gunga, the Heroes fighting All For One and the Twice Doubles receive assistance from the students of Shiketsu High School, with All For One being relentlessly attacked by Tokoyami using "Dark Shadow" at full power. They receive further backup by the Heroes tasked with defending Gigantomachia from the Paranormal Liberation Front, who have taken control of the beast thanks to Shinso's "Brainwashing" Quirk. Though All For One quickly breaks the Quirk's control, Gigantomachia unexpectedly betrays him, furious at having been abandoned by his former master. Eventually, the rapidly-rewinding All For One unleashes his full wrath upon the Heroes, killing and maiming several of them before stealing Hawks' "Fierce Wings" Quirk and escaping. Shoto and Ida head to Gunga to deal with Dabi, who they learn is preparing to self-destruct and create a massive heat explosion that will incinerate everything within the area, including a shelter of evacuees sabotaged by All For One's spies. With All For One rapidly closing in on Shigaraki's position, All Might, aided by a suit of powered armor, prepares to confront his arch-nemesis for the last time. | ||||

| The Heroes escort the civilians out of the evacuation shelters to escape Dabi's impending self-destruction. Endeavor is cornered by Dabi and discovers that his eldest son has successfully manifested Rei's ice Quirk within himself. Endeavor attempts to fly into the air so that Dabi's self-destruction will only kill the both of them, but is stopped by Rei, Natsuo, and Fuyumi, who use their own ice Quirks to try and cool Dabi down. Thanks to Iida, Shoto arrives in time and uses his "Phosphor" technique to extinguish Dabi's flames for good, reuniting the Todoroki family with Dabi's barely alive remains. Meanwhile, Toga and her Twice Doubles begin to overwhelm the Heroes with their sheer numbers, causing further trouble when they start to transform into them as well. Uraraka persists in trying to get Toga to talk with her, but she refuses to listen and ends up giving her a fatal stab wound. Even still, Uraraka admits her love for Izuku and her jealously towards Toga's smile, in the process awakening her Quirk, causing everyone to suddenly lose their gravity and float up into the air. Realizing that she cannot win, Toga finally confesses all her deepest feelings and regrets to Uraraka, just as Twice's blood runs out and all of the Doubles disintegrate into dust. As Uraraka lies on the ground bleeding to death, a guilt-ridden Toga saves her by transferring all of her blood into Uraraka's body, knowing that it will result in her own demise. Elsewhere, All Might suits up in the mechanized "Armored All Might" to prevent All For One from reaching Shigaraki and Izuku. Using his knowledge of his foe's tactics, as well as the suit containing support items that mimic the Quirks of the Class 1-A students, All Might is able to hold his own against All For One, much to the supervillain's fury. After reflecting on his own past and purpose, All Might dedicates himself to winning this final battle, no matter what happens to him. | ||||

| Using his support items to keep All For One at bay, All Might activates a giant laser that deals enough damage to revert his arch-nemesis into a child. Stain arrives to assist All Might, but is quickly killed by All For One with his Quirk being stolen in the process, while All Might's armored suit is destroyed. Having successfully reached U.A., All For One attempts to make contact with Shigaraki, but is rebuffed, so he instead grabs All Might and flies over to where Shigaraki and Izuku are, intending to murder All Might on live television. All Might tries to detonate a bomb to kill himself and All For One, but the supervillain destroys it and completely paralyzes him with Stain's "Bloodcurdle" Quirk. All For One prepares to kill All Might, as everyone watching the broadcast begins to fall into despair, but a newly-revived Bakugo suddenly appears and, after getting a speed boost from Izuku, blasts All Might out of the villain's hands, saving him. As All For One flies into a rage over the realization that his plans have completely fallen apart, Bakugo confronts him head-on. Through a series of flashbacks, it is revealed that All For One and his twin brother Yoichi grew up during the advent of Meta Abilities, and shows how his obsessive personality was formed. After killing Yoichi in a fit of rage when he was freed by a resistance group, All For One discovered that his brother's Quirk Factor had been passed onto the Second User, Kudo, creating One For All, and embarked on a futile pursuit for several decades before his defeat at the hands of All Might. Back in the present day, All For One makes a desperate last attempt to reach Shigaraki by activating all of his Quirks at once, but Bakugo is able to use his speed and expertise with his Quirk to deliver the finishing blow. All For One's rewinding finally takes its toll on his body as he's reverted to an infant, then a fetus, before being rewound out of existence altogether. Meanwhile, as Izuku and Shigaraki's battle escalates, Shigaraki manages to steal "Danger Sense" and begins to gain the upper hand. | ||||

| Realizing that Shigaraki now possesses the willpower necessary to steal One For All and its individual Quirks, Izuku and the remaining vestiges are forced on the defensive as their battle is pushed all the way to Mt. Fuji, which Shigaraki intends to use "Decay" on to begin an unstoppable chain of destruction. Despite Shigaraki fully giving into his villainy, and the vestiges believing that he can no longer be saved, Izuku refuses to forsake the humanity he sensed within him and desires to understand his arch-nemesis further. Kudo then comes up with a last-ditch plan: Izuku must forcefully transfer One For All's individual Quirk Factors so that they can destroy the "leaden mass" that has formed around Shigaraki's soul, thanks to a crack left behind from his battle against Star and Stripe. The process proves successful, as each vestige is transferred and accomplishes more damage, with the two's memories also beginning to overlap, while the world watches the battle through the live broadcast. Izuku eventually manages to break through and enters Shigaraki's mental realm, where he and Nana discover the root of his "origin": the physical and mental abuse inflicted by his father, Kotaro. Izuku intervenes at the moment when "Decay" first manifested, helping to relieve some of the pain in Shigaraki's heart, but he refuses to surrender and declares that the villains need him to be their "hero". Suddenly, All For One's vestige re-appears and reveals that he orchestrated Shigaraki's entire existence, including stealing his original Quirk at birth and secretly giving him "Decay", which is revealed to be a flawed copy of Overhaul's Quirk. These revelations cause Shigaraki to completely fall into despair, allowing All For One to destroy his vestige and resurrect himself by converting Shigaraki's body into his own. Enraged that he can no longer steal One For All and reunite with Yoichi, All For One abandons his plans for world domination and prepares to kill Izuku, who had both of his arms destroyed during his confrontation with Shigaraki, but Aizawa and the rest of Class 1-A intervene before he can do so. Kurogiri, his "Shirakumo" personality having re-emerged, then warps all the remaining active Heroes to the battlefield, with Aizawa using Eri's severed horn to restore Izuku's arms. Izuku proceeds to join his classmates in battling All For One and, using the remaining embers of One For All left within him, unleashes a powerful attack that deals a fatal blow to the villain. | ||||
