My Hero Academia Episode 13: In Each of Our Hearts
As the battle at USJ winds down, Izuku and All Might think about its repercussions. Meanwhile, the villains slink home to plan their next move.
Full recap
All Might, weakened after defeating Nomu with a barrage of punches that punches a hole through the roof, stands defiantly and challenges the frustrated Shigaraki to fight him next, bluffing strength despite his deflating form.
Midoriya notices All Might's vulnerability and realizes the hero is running out of time, while Shigaraki panics over All Might's persistence and debates retreating with Kurogiri, who urges him to stay and capitalize on the moment. Elsewhere, a villain with an electric quirk captures Kaminari as a hostage, leaving Jiro and Yaoyorozu at his mercy; Jiro attempts a distraction, but the villain sees through it and threatens to kill Kaminari if they move.
Shigaraki and Kurogiri charge at the immobilized All Might, prompting Midoriya to rush in despite breaking both his legs, aiming a punch at Kurogiri's armor; Shigaraki counters by reaching a hand through the portal toward Midoriya's face. Reinforcements arrive just in time, led by U.A. pro heroes including the principal and Iida: Snipe shoots Shigaraki's hand and the electric villain holding Kaminari, Present Mic yells to subdue the thugs, a clone-making hero deploys copies of himself, and No. 13 uses a black hole to pull in Kurogiri.
Shigaraki declares the game over and orders a retreat, glaring violently at the unmoving All Might before escaping through Kurogiri's portal with the remaining villains, who are then rounded up by the pros as they free the still-fighting students. Midoriya laments his ruined limbs feeling useless, but All Might praises him for buying crucial time until help arrived and thanks him for saving his life again, mirroring their earlier bond; the two share an emotional moment, healing side-by-side in adjacent hospital beds.
Shigaraki and Kurogiri return injured to their hideout, where Shigaraki confers with his unseen "Master" about All Might's victory, Nomu's defeat, and the promising new heroes like Midoriya to target; the Master declares it Shigaraki's turn to become a symbol and vows to recruit more villains. Meanwhile, Class 1-A gathers, learning Aizawa's sight is permanently weakened and No. 13 will recover; the principal announces beefed-up school security after finding the defeated Nomu in the forest without issue. Detective Tsukauchi, aware of All Might's secret, visits Midoriya and All Might in the nurse's office, questioning if the fight limited the hero's power. All Might tells Midoriya the Class 1-A students will become great heroes for fighting on despite the odds, as each stands with firmer resolve.
