Season 3· canon

The heroes and U.A. students close in on the League of Villains' hideouts, but the League still has an ace up its sleeve…

Full recap

At a press conference regarding a recent villain attack, a reporter questions a teacher named Shota about his decision to allow students to fight. Shota explains it was to prevent a worse outcome, and the principal, Nezu, adds that the students' actions, specifically mentioning Tetsutetsu and Itsuka, prevented a greater disaster. The reporter then asks about a student named Katsuki, noting his aggressive attitude and suggesting he might be brainwashed by villains. Shota apologizes for not curbing Katsuki's behavior but clarifies that it stems from his intense desire to be the best hero.

At a villain hideout, Katsuki watches the broadcast and comments that his teachers understand him better than he thought. He tells the villains he will never join them, believing he is too important for them to kill and plans to take some of them down before escaping. The villains discuss what to do until a villain named Tomura tells them not to touch Katsuki. Tomura expresses a wish for Katsuki to listen and states they don't have much time, asking someone named All For One to lend him power.

Meanwhile, a student named Momo leads Eijiro, Tenya, Shoto, and Izuku to what they believe is a villain hideout. Lacking stealth skills, they ponder their next move. Izuku mutters to himself, and Tenya considers how to keep the group out of trouble.

At a strategy meeting, a hero named Endeavor questions his involvement in a hideout raid. Another hero, Best Jeanist, tells him to stop complaining, reminding him he is a U.A. alumnus. Detective Tsukauchi explains that U.A. teachers cannot be used due to media coverage. Best Jeanist mentions he knows Katsuki's personality from their time together. A hero named Tiger adds that this is an opportunity to save someone named Ragdoll. Detective Tsukauchi explains that the police believe the villains have two separate hideouts and are splitting their team to arrest all criminals simultaneously. He reveals that Principal Nezu acted clueless at the press conference to deceive the villains, who likely won't expect an attack on the same day. The Hideout Raid team arrives outside one of the villain's headquarters and prepares to attack.

Izuku and his group remain outside a second villain lair. They decide to go around the back and use Eijiro's night vision goggles to look through a window. Eijiro and Izuku scout the building and discover it is a factory for breeding creatures called Nomu.

Back at the League of Villains hideout, Tomura orders Kurogiri and Mr. Compress to restrain Katsuki. Their actions are interrupted when a hero named All Might smashes through a wall. Kurogiri attempts to open a warp-gate, but a hero named Kamui Woods restrains all the villains at once. A villain named Dabi tries to burn the restraints, but a hero named Gran Torino swiftly kicks him, knocking him out. Another hero, Edgeshot, enters the room by slipping through the door and reveals the entire hideout is surrounded by police. Endeavor angrily asks why Edgeshot gets to fight while he remains outside with the police. Detective Naomasa explains that Endeavor will catch anyone who manages to escape the building.

Tomura orders Kurogiri to warp over all the Nomu. Simultaneously, a hero named Mt. Lady breaks open the Nomu factory. Best Jeanist and Gang Orca restrain all the Nomu, preventing Kurogiri from transferring them. All Might tells the villains they have lost, and Edgeshot knocks out Kurogiri with his unique ability. Gran Torino warns the villains not to underestimate the heroes and reveals the true identities of most of the villains. The old man asks Tomura where All For One is, which prompts Tomura to recall when his master first found him.

Mysterious portals suddenly open, and several Nomu are transferred through them. Edgeshot confirms this is not Kurogiri's doing, and Katsuki is swallowed up in one of the portals. Kamui Woods pleads for Endeavor's help, but Endeavor and the police are dealing with Nomu that have also been transported to their location. Naomasa tries to contact Best Jeanist but receives no response.

Mt. Lady comments that the raid was too easy, but Best Jeanist tells her their role was important. Tiger manages to find Ragdoll, who appears to have been manipulated. A shadowy figure explains that he needed to steal Ragdoll's unique ability because he hasn't been able to acquire any in a while. Best Jeanist tries to restrain him, and the man suddenly releases an explosion. Izuku and the others are struck with fear by the appearance of a figure identified as All For One.
