Tsukuyomi keeps up his assault on All For One, with Hawks reminding him that while All For One might be invincible, he’s on a timer. They just need to keep him down no matter what. Earphone Jack shouts to the Heroes, telling them to cover Dark Shadow and block out any light. Illus-o-Camie gets ready to project an aurora sky with her Glamour Quirk to help. But before they can finish, All For One unleashes a massive burst of light that blows Dark Shadow away, weakening him again. He sneers at them, calling them obnoxious.
As Tsukuyomi watches, he sees that All For One is looking younger, thanks to the Rewind effect. Before they can react, All For One uses his Quirks to boost himself out of the battlefield.
The Heroes are quick to give chase, with Gale Force using his wind to carry them. They refuse to let All For One get away. Then both Hawks and All For One notice something that changes everything: Gigantomachia has arrived. All For One orders him to finish them off, but instead, Gigantomachia hurls a huge chunk of the mountain straight at his former master. Standing on Gigantomachia’s back, Red Riot shouts to his classmates that they’re here to stop All For One from reaching Deku and Tomura, and Hitoshi Shinso is right there with him.
Red Riot and Pinky save the day
In a flashback, Red Riot recall how they captured Gigantomachia. The villains first activate “an ultra high frequency emitter to broadcast All For One’s voice in order to re-awaken Gigantomachia.” Mt. Lady fails to stop him.
Dodging the chaos around him, Red Riot thinks back to the start of their plan when they had secretly warped Hitoshi to their location without the Villains catching on. Since then, Hitoshi’s been lying low, ready for emergencies. Red Riot sprints to his hiding spot, planning to tell him to brainwash Gigantomachia.
How Hitoshi captured Gigantomachia
But when he gets there, he’s stunned, Hitoshi is already being absorbed by the Sludge Villain. The Sludge Villain, grinning, boasts that now that Gigantomachia is awake, the fight’s already won. He didn’t need to lift a finger, just hide, and stumbling upon Hitoshi was even better than last time’s hiding spot.
The villains try to prevent the Heroes from using Hitoshi’s voice on Gigantomachia, however, Hitoshi swings on top of Gigantomachia using his Capturing Weapon, calling out in a voice mimicking All For One’s. The beast responds, falling under his control. Hitoshi wastes no time and commands Gigantomachia to attack everyone in the air, causing the giant to swipe all the villains away. Meanwhile, Pinky starts to pass out from dehydration, weakly saying she and Red Riot are even now. Red Riot shakes his head, telling her she never owed him anything—she’s always been his hero.
The heroes overpower All For One
Tsukuyomi watches as Gigantomachia battles All For One, thinking Hitoshi must have brainwashed him to fight on their side. Hawks mentions they’ve taken a gamble, with Mt. Lady protecting Gigantomachia, but he knows that if All For One lands a hit, it’ll break the brainwashing. All For One quickly figures out that Hitoshi’s Quirk is the reason the Aoyamas were able to deceive him, calling it his own tactic before launching a massive attack at Gigantomachia.
The blast seems to break the control, but instead of turning, Gigantomachia says he can still smell his master, even though All For One looks different. He asks why he was left behind. Hawks is thrown by this, knowing Hitoshi wouldn’t have had time to brainwash him again. Gigantomachia then remembers when All For One first went into hiding, telling him to wait for the day his successor would come. Furious, he shouts that even when All For One returned in Tomura’s body, despite his loyalty, he was still abandoned.
With Red Riot shielding Hitoshi from the blast, Hitoshi reflects on how only Deku and Gigantomachia have ever resisted his Brainwashing Quirk. Even while under his control, Gigantomachia kept muttering about being betrayed. Hitoshi admits he’s just along for the ride, a safety net to keep the giant in check, and points out that while people often say his Quirk seems villainous, it doesn’t control a person’s heart. Hawks, with a smirk, dismisses his speech, saying no one’s buying into his story. Meanwhile, the Heroes and Gigantomachia launch a full-on assault against All For One, until he finally vanishes.
All For One dominates the heroes and escapes
The fight against All For One rages on. Mt. Lady smashes another one of her massive weapons, calling out to Rule, who sends her their last remaining Detnerat gear. Hawks apologizes to Tsukuyomi for only being his wingman, but Tsukuyomi reassures him, saying Hawks’ support fuels his Light of Baldur. Everyone’s giving everything they’ve got against the Villain.
But All For One strikes back. A blast slices through Mt. Lady’s stomach, dropping her to the ground. He follows up with a massive lightning strike that wipes out Gigantomachia, sending him crashing down too. As Gigantomachia’s body starts regenerating, All For One muses about a growing darkness inside him, likely from his “other self”—the younger he gets, the more uncontrollable it feels. With another blast, he obliterates Dark Shadow and takes down Hawks and Tsukuyomi, claiming that the deeper he sinks into darkness, the more power he draws from his Quirk.
As the dust settles, the Heroes are left battered, barely clinging to life. All For One lifts a barely conscious Hawks by the throat, demanding he step aside as he sets his sights on stealing Tsukuyomi’s Quirk. Hawks struggles in vain, refusing to give in. But it’s no use—All For One takes Fierce Wings for himself. He notes, almost amused, that even with the Quirk’s damage, Hawks still managed to put up a decent fight. Hawks, panting, mentions how All For One’s stolen Quirks don’t work smoothly together while his body rewinds, and that the damage is speeding up the process.
All For One looks back at all the unconscious heroes and mocks them one last time before leaving.
