The day after Endeavor's fight with the High-End Nomu, Shota Aizawa starts the class by reminding his students that while their hero licenses are provisional, they still have to act like heroes in an official capacity. He intends to push them harder to reflect the responsibility, as an emergency alarm blares throughout the classroom, leading to Class 1-A being given a training mission to fight hypothetical villains. The class arrives at Ground Beta where it is revealed that Nejire and Tamaki of
In the aftermath of the battle against the High-End Nomu, Dabi attacks Endeavor and Hawks, only to retreat upon the arrival of Mirko. That night, Dabi and Hawks criticize each other for having changed their plan, with the former stating it will be some time before the latter can meet Shigaraki. Determined to make the world a place for heroes to have some free time, Hawks joined the League of Villains as an undercover spy under orders from the Hero Public Safety Commission to take them down from
After discussing his dream with All Might, Izuku is alarmed that the essence of One For All's previous holders live on within the Quirk. Later that day, Class 1-A and 1-B meet at Field Gamma for their first Joint Training Battle. Both classes (along with Hitoshi Shinso from General Studies) are paired up into groups of 4 vs 4 matches that is commentated by Class 1-B's teacher Vlad King. Eraser Head and Vlad King announce the teams, with Shinso being selected to participate in the first match as
The Class A Team is quickly overwhelmed resulting in the capture of both Kirishima and Koda, although Tsuyu is also able to eliminate Kosei from the match. Improvising a new plan explained by Asui, Kaminari allows himself to be captured which serves their team as the distraction for the Class B Team in order for the threat of Shinso's Quirk to destroy their communication, and for Tsuyu to deliver the finishing blows. Mineta comments that Shinso turns out to be a more serious threat than original
Aizawa asks the Class A team to comment on what they learned or need to improve on; Kirishima says that outside of combat, his Quirk has a very little application, Koda wishes to give more detailed instructions to his insects, Kaminari is happily jumping in the air lamenting about how good he was, Tsuyu wishes Koda and Kirishima were not captured so early to preserve their coordination, and Shinso is frustrated about his inexperience using the Binding Cloth fighting style. After a short break fo
Against the Quirks of Kinoko Komori and Manga Fukidashi, the Class A team is divided, with Aoyama captured as a result. Unknown to Momo and Hagakure, Shihai took shelter nearby by phasing into the body of a black mushroom. He laughs and thinks back to the details of Itsuka's plan, where Kuroiro was used due to Dark Shadow being a Quirk with low risks and high rewards in combat, and capitalizing on the fact that the other team is not aware of Shihai's new ability to control dark objects. Due to A
While the combatants recover, the combat zone is moved to another section of Field Gamma due to all the damage caused by Class B. In a quieter corner, All Might asks Izuku if he felt something strange with One For All again, as he comments that his master Nana Shimura had never mentioned to him that the Quirk could be activated spontaneously, and is planning to ask Gran Torino if he knows anything about it. Just then Bakugo appears and forces them to reveal their secrets, leading them to discuss
Ida proclaims that raising the horsepower of his new ability and lowering the fuel consumption to the minimum, he is now unstoppable in terms of speed for ten minutes. Juzo, realizing he is no match for Ida, sinks into the slushed ice and swims through the mud underneath. Ida stops and notices the ice is solidifying again. As the endurance match between Todoroki and Tetsutetsu rages on, both combatants begin suffering fatigue, leaving Todoroki no choice but to attempt his father's signature move
The Match 4 begins where both teams start making their moves. On Class 1-B's side, everyone is worried about how well-balanced their opponent's team is. Due to this, they decide to rush the opposing team as quickly as possible. Creating a plan targeting Bakugo's selfish traits, the Class B Team quickly works to overwhelm Class A, only to be driven back by their perfect teamwork. Bakugo declares his intention to always seek a perfect victory and that includes not letting a single member of his te
In Tartarus Prison, All For One oddly hears the voice of his brother which disturbs the guards. All Might is concerned when Gran Torino mentions a previous holder of One For All once told Nana Shimura "the time has not yet come". As the Class 1-A team make their way forward, Izuku thinks about how with Shinso in Class 1-B's team, they will not be able to talk much once they engaged just like in sports festival. Izuku is also still being uneasy about what happened with One For All, wanting to be
Despite the danger of Blackwhip's rampage, Aizawa allows the match to continue for the sake of the combatants' ambitions. Copying One For All, Monoma attempts to attack Ochaco, only for the Quirk to oddly do nothing. Shinso intervenes, unintentionally giving Izuku a way to engage him. The two begin their rematch, with Shinso pulling two pipes down on Izuku, only to be countered by Blackwhip. Ochaco proceeds to drag the captured Monoma to their prison, and after dropping him off, she goes to help
As Shinso accepts the transfer into the Hero Course for the next year, several students ask whether he will be in Class A or B, but they say the time will come for that. Later at night, Izuku and Bakugo spar in Gym Gamma in hope of getting Blackwhip to manifest, which they are unable to as Izuku acknowledges that since he refused to use the Quirk until he better mastered One For All, it will not manifest until then. Bakugo leaves Izuku deep in thought after pointing out how One For All has becom
While Japan deals with the aftermath of the destruction of Deika City 9 days earlier, Izuku and the other students of Class 1-A begin interview training. Visualizing unlocking One For All, Izuku is able to properly manifest a little of Blackwhip for just a second. While Izuku is happy about this development, everyone else is completely dumbfounded. Meanwhile, Principal Nezu visits All Might who begins researching what he can on One For All's previous holders. He informs All Might that the Hero P
A few weeks earlier, Hawks is given another chance by Dabi to join the League of Villains and visits Best Jeanist to check on his recovery, pulling a feather blade on the hero when his back is turned. After celebrating New Year's Eve with his mother, Izuku heads off to begin his work studies. Meanwhile, Hawks appears at a mansion where he is approached by Slidin' Go, who attempts to lecture Hawks for going off on his own, but a mysterious man with a laptop berates Slidin' Go for trying to act su
With Hawks' message in hand, Endeavor now understands the true reason behind the Hero Public Safety Commission bringing back the Work Study program: to ensure everyone is ready for the forthcoming attack of Shigaraki and his combined forces. Accepting Midoriya and Bakugo as his students, Endeavor first seeks to understand what each has to work on. Izuku hopes to master all of his other Quirks, and Bakugo desires to know what he is missing besides strength. Todoroki interjects, intending to learn
The Oki Mariner Crew is pursuing a ship carrying chemicals used to make an illegal Quirk Booster drug. Due to the difficult situation, Selkie requests a team up with the Ryukyu agency. Ryukyu, Ochaco, Tsuyu, and Nejire arrive, and Selkie has the young heroes relax on the beach for the day to boost their morale. As the sun sets, the heroes take to the ocean while the smugglers attempt another escape. Selkie and Tsuyu board the ship, but a cargo plane carrying the chemicals starts to take off. Sir
A week into the work studies, Endeavor gets a call from Fuyumi who suggests bringing the trio home for dinner. The dinner soon gets uncomfortable as the conversation switches from being about Fuyumi's cooking to how Endeavor prevented Shoto from eating Natsuo's cooking. A disgruntled Natsuo soon gets up and leaves. After dinner, Izuku and Bakugo overhear Shoto and Fuyumi talking about everything. Shoto says he cannot forgive Endeavor so easily for what he did to their mother and is unsure of how
Fuyumi explains to Izuku and Bakugo that Natsuo was very close to their brother Toya, causing him to blame Endeavor for his death. Eventually, the time has come for Endeavor to bring the trio back to U.A. High, with Endeavor thanking Fuyumi for setting everything up, and her thanking Izuku for being Shoto's friend. Shortly after, their car is soon attacked by street whitelines, controlled by a villain named Ending, with Natsuo held hostage. Ending emotionally explains that heroes cannot kill, bu
While Class 1-A celebrates the start of the third semester, Eraser Head and Present Mic are summoned to Tartarus Prison by Detective Tsukauchi and Gran Torino. Therefore, the two learn that Kurogiri is a Nomu created using the corpse of their school friend Oboro Shirakumo. Since the Nomu retain some of their former personalities, Aizawa and Mic are asked to talk to Kurogiri in the hopes of getting information about the League of Villains. Once awake, Kurogiri grows concerned about Shigaraki's wh
Two months earlier, Gigantomachia appears before the League of Villains, declaring Shigaraki unworthy of being All For One's successor. During the attack, the League is teleported to the lab of All For One's assistant, Dr. Kyudai Garaki. Dr. Garaki intends to help Shigaraki in his goal of destroying everything that irritates him, but before Shigaraki can be granted power, he must defeat Gigantomachia to gain his loyalty. The League returns to Gigantomachia and continue their battle, while Dr. Ga
Among the chaos after superpowers first appeared in the world, a popular ideology started to spread among the metahumans: the freedom to use their meta abilities rather than suppress them. A man named Destro brought many people who followed this ideology together and formed the Meta Liberation Army. After a couple of years, the group were defeated by the government, with most of the members being arrested and the Army dissolved. While in prison, Destro wrote the Meta Liberation War book, before
Captured, Twice can do nothing as Skeptic's puppets attempt to snap Toga's neck. In the tower, Giran is surprised to learn that Twice is there, as Re-Destro and Skeptic explain that they are taking advantage of his psychological trauma in order to break him. Jin thinks back to his past, recalling a moment when he was sixteen where he accidentally ran over a man with his motorcycle, resulting in them getting a broken arm. He was alone due to his parents dying when he was in middle school, and nev
Re-Destro, increasing his size and strength though his stress, overwhelms Shigaraki, destroying his left hand and the hands he wears all over his body, causing him to experience flashes of his deceased family. As a child, Tenko Shimura (Shigaraki) lives under the one harsh rule of his father Kotaro: never talk about heroes, as they do nothing but hurt their own families to help strangers. Tenko is left outside alone without food, with Nao and his grandparents, Chizuo and Mako, questioning Kotaro
Ignored by bystanders, Tenko wandered the city streets alone, hoping for a helping hand, which he got in All For One. Dr. Garaki asks All For One about Tenko's lost memories, with the latter saying they still remain within him, and that he has become unstable with them locked away, even Decay being held back from its true power. All For One states that he will become the next "Symbol of Fear" that has taken its first big step forward. In the aftermath of killing the two hoodlums in two tries, Te
Hawks, undercover within the Paranormal Liberation Front, has put all the pieces together except for one: Shigaraki's sponsor Dr. Garaki. Meanwhile, Shigaraki meets Garaki who talks about how his Quirk had evolved in the fight, allowing him to Decay not just what he touches, but what is connected to it. Garaki proceeds to perform the experiments necessary to give Shigaraki power that will let him surpass All For One and obtain One For All. Back in the present, Class 1-A shows off the new abiliti
