In the previous episode, U.A. High School’s Big Three joined forces to battle Tomura Shigaraki.

Despite his defeat, Dabi remains a formidable opponent as he was a crucial asset for the villains in the war. Shoto Todoroki’s use of his Great Glacial Aegir to defeat his brother Toya was a significant turning point in the battle. It gave the heroes an advantage and shifted the balance in their favor. However, as seen in the preview, Dabi is still standing and the fight is far from over.

As for Shoto Todoroki, he will join forces with the Flaming Sidekickers and Tenya Iida once again to defeat his brother Toya Todoroki during the final war.

In the previous episode, it was evident that Katsuki Bakugo made a brave sacrifice in his attempt to defeat Shigaraki Tomura while Izuku Midoriya was absent. Despite having already failed in a previous attack and reaching his limits, Bakugo persisted and engaged in another battle with Shigaraki. As a result, Bakugo suffered serious injuries during this encounter.

After the unexpected event, the remaining heroes will undoubtedly band together to confront Shigaraki and seek revenge for Bakugo. In the midst of this confrontation, Edgeshot may choose to make a significant sacrifice or have a significant moment, as seen by the removal of his mask.

As fans may recall, the previous encounter between All For One and Endeavor in the anime involved the latter unleashing his strongest move, Prominence Burn, in an attempt to defeat the villain. Despite Endeavor’s hopes, the attack did not prove as effective as he had anticipated, as All For One managed to survive by utilizing one of his many quirks.

Consequently, the imminent episode may feature Endeavor, Hawks, Tokoyami, and Jiro continuing their battle against the powerful villain. However, due to the exhaustion they have already experienced, the four heroes may be at risk of being defeated by their opponent.
