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 sports festival concludes with Bakugo making an insulting victory speech towards the other students, declaring that he is better than all of them. Meanwhile in Tokyo, Ida's older brother Ingenium is attacked and maimed by "Hero Killer" Stain, who is later approached by Kurogiri. | ||||

| Though Shigaraki loaned the reluctant Toga and Twice to Overhaul's services per their agreement, the duo is encouraged by their leader to take advantage of the raid to sabotage the Shie Hassaikai, doing so by provoking Irinaka into exposing himself to the heroes, who capture him.

Mirio nearly wins the fight, but Eight Bullets member Shin Nemoto shoots him with a completed Quirk-destroying bullet. Mirio continues to fight despite being Quirkless as Izuku, Aizawa and Sir Nighteye arrive. Overhaul 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. The fight is interrupted when Toga, posing as Izuku, tricks Ryukyu's team into attacking the basement during their fight with 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. | ||||

As the day of the operation approaches, Izuku and Ochaco 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, as the Heroes themselves are summoned to the battlefield using Monoma copying Kurogiri's "Warp Gate" Quirk.
