The episode commences with Class 1-A quickly forgiving Yuga Aoyama. They embraced him as one of their own, acknowledging their inability to fully comprehend the effects of All For One’s (AFO) manipulation on him. The young Heroes stood by their friend and pledged to support him from that moment on.

Dressed in a hospital gown and sporting an eye patch, Shouta Aizawa makes his debut in season 7. He shared his plan with the group, except for the Aoyama family, and specified a one-week timeline for its implementation. After that, the authorities intervened and took the family into custody.

At the dorm, the determined Class 1-A decides to intensify their training and prepare themselves. Meanwhile, Deku and Tenya head to get their costumes altered and come across Mei Hatsume. She had been occupied with reinforcing the U.A. Barrier, fully aware of the Heroes’ difficult situation and seeking alternative ways to help.

At the entrance of U.A., Class 1-A, led by Mount Lady, had assembled to search for and defeat any remaining villains from the recent battle. Simultaneously, in the Kansai Region, Fatgum, Nejire Chan, Suneater, and Ryukyu were tasked with cleaning up the aftermath.

At another location, the authorities had convened at the Central Hospital to finalize their plans. The Wild Wild Pussycats’ Ragdoll arrived, prepared to offer assistance in any way possible. As instructed by All Might, their main goal was to separate AFO and Tomura Shigaraki, as well as to defeat the League of Villains.

The focus then turns to Aizawa as he speaks with Aoyama, trying to comprehend the young boy’s mindset. Aizawa encourages Aoyama to stand up for himself and not succumb to guilt. He assures Aoyama that he has support and will not be abandoned no matter what.
