Simultaneously, Toga contemplates her life choices influenced by the emotions Ochako evoked in her. Noticing Ochako’s consideration for others even as she nears death, Toga reminisces about Ochako’s previous remarks regarding the value of giving blood and her delightful smile, filling Toga with a sense of genuine joy.
Rather than rejecting Toga’s past, Ochako embraces her true self, prompting Toga to assert that she cannot allow her to die. Toga then transforms into Ochako, treating her wound and sacrificing her own blood to save her.
Though aware that this act could lead to her own demise, Toga persists even while battling fatigue from her transformation. Ochako, weakened and unable to stop her, is left helpless.
As Toga weakens, she expresses regret for injuring Ochako and contemplates how her life could have differed had she learned to give instead of take. The poignant moment concludes with Toga finding solace, satisfied with having lived authentically.

The narrative transitions back 20 minutes before Toga’s rampage culminates, centering on All Might as he gears up for his confrontation with AFO. Clad in his Armored suit and utilizing Hercules, his AI vehicle, All Might strives to reclaim the title of Symbol of Peace.
As the battle begins, Aiba broadcasts it live, while Tsukauchi expresses concern over how a Quirkless hero will stand against the strongest villain, fearing for All Might’s survival. All Might successfully captures AFO’s interest, inciting a fierce attack from the villain. Just as everyone braces for impact, All Might proves his strength by absorbing the blow with Red Riot, much to everyone’s astonishment.
Yet, Hercules’ shield sustains heavy damage, warning All Might that he cannot withstand another strike of that magnitude. Despite this, his resolve remains unshaken as he confronts AFO directly, who retorts that this combat style is only viable when All Might wielded One For All.
Employing techniques inspired by Class 1-A students, All Might utilizes Blackwhip and Chargebolt to slow AFO’s regenerative abilities, asserting that the villain’s tactics only succeed against those with Quirks. He presses the attack, adapting his combat style with technology derived from his students.
