My Hero Academia Episode 67: Fighting Fate
Izuku's mind is swirling with feelings from his work study, so he goes and talks to All Might about it and learns about All Might's fate.
Full recap
Izuku and Mirio go out on patrol for Sir Nighteye's agency. Mirio asks about Izuku's internship experience, and Izuku explains he wasn't able to do any basic patrols for certain reasons. Mirio claims Sir and Bubble Girl are watching their target, so they should have an easy patrol. Izuku thinks about All Might's and Sir's relationship, and Mirio interrupts to ask Izuku his hero name. Izuku says it's Deku, and Mirio reveals his code name is "Lemillion," explaining he wants to save a million people.
While walking, a small girl runs out of an alleyway and crashes into Izuku. He tries to check on her, but she appears terrified and scared of his hands. Suddenly, the agency's target, Overhaul, appears from the shadows of the alley. He asks the young girl, Eri, to return with him. Izuku looks nervous, and Mirio puts Izuku's mask over his face to hide his expression. Overhaul apologizes for his "daughter," and Mirio covers for Izuku.
Mirio confirms the masked man is with the Hassaikai by asking about his mouth. Overhaul claims he's sensitive to filth and asks what agency the heroes belong to. Mirio refuses to reveal Sir's name and claims they are just students on internships. Mirio tries to leave with Izuku, but the girl clenches tightly to Izuku out of fear. Despite Mirio trying to avoid creating suspicion, Izuku refuses to leave the girl. Izuku believes it's more suspicious for a hero to leave a trembling girl behind and demands to know what Overhaul has been doing to her.
Overhaul says he will explain if they follow him down the alley. Eri responds to Overhaul's demeanor and runs back to him, leaving Izuku behind. Mirio reveals Eri's intent to Izuku and says they should ask Sir Nighteye what to do next.
Meanwhile, Sir Nighteye and Bubble Girl watch the Shie Hassaikai Compound. Bubble Girl receives a call where Mirio tells them they made contact with Kai Chisaki. Inside the Compound, Overhaul returns and kills Eri's watcher, expressing his frustration with everyone on the outside becoming "sick with hero syndrome."
Sir Nighteye and Bubble Girl regroup with the students, and Sir takes responsibility. He reveals that Overhaul's run-in with a group of individuals ended with him restoring their bodies to cover his tracks, which is what caught the Nighteye Agency's attention. Mirio shares what they learned about Kai's daughter, Eri. Izuku expresses his desire to save her, but Sir Nighteye tells him not to be arrogant. He explains they can't rush to save anyone and need to go about it correctly, without letting the villains know their intention, or else they will likely escape. He then tells Izuku that he is not special enough to save anybody whenever he wants. Nighteye leaves after telling Izuku and Mirio to return to the office.
Back at the Shie Hassaikai's hideout, Overhaul takes Eri to his experimentation room. He tells her not to run away because she's the crux of his operation. A man named Mimic interrupts to tell Overhaul that he's getting a call from Tomura.
The next day in Class 1-A, everyone notices that Shoto and Katsuki are worn out from their recent training. Eijiro, Ochaco, and Tsuyu are absent to work at their newly found Work-Studies. Izuku feels pressure about everything going on with the work-study and can't focus during his classes. He goes to find All Might and tracks him down while the retired hero is jogging.
Izuku asks All Might why he didn't tell him about Nighteye and Mirio and their connection to One For All. As All Might's successor, he desires to know the full truth. All Might doesn't believe Izuku needs to know but agrees to tell him anyway. All Might shares that Nighteye was a big fan of his and even convinced the hero to take him on as a sidekick and the brains of his operation.
Six years ago, All Might dissolved their partnership following his battle with another individual. Sir Nighteye asked All Might to retire, but the hero refused. Nighteye and another individual believed he should find a successor, but All Might said there needs to be a symbol. Sir Nighteye revealed that he wouldn't help All Might any further if he continued to put his life in danger. All Might realized that Nighteye had used a special ability on him. All Might refused, and Nighteye revealed that the Symbol of Peace would perish to a gruesome villain.
Their partnership dissolved following that exchange, and another individual recommended Mirio as a successor. Before All Might ever met Mirio, he encountered young Izuku. He didn't want to share because Izuku is a fan of his, just like Sir Nighteye. All Might continues jogging while Izuku thinks about the reality that All Might is going to die.
All Might told Sir Nighteye about passing on his powers to Izuku, which generated more of a rift between them. Sir Nighteye decided to train Mirio as a much more suitable candidate. Izuku catches up to All Might and learns that the special ability showed All Might dying this year or next year. The ability has never been wrong, but even still, All Might accepted his fate. He believed his time had come during their battle with another individual. However, All Might has regained his will to live because he's been nurturing Izuku. He made a promise to Izuku's mother to live and claims that he will twist fate, refusing to die. Emotional, Izuku agrees to fight fate alongside his master. Izuku asks All Might to get Sir Nighteye to use the special ability on him again, but All Might still can't face him after all this time.
Elsewhere, in the Shie Hassaikai Compound, Tomura arrives, and a black communion begins.
