The work study students wait until the pro heroes find Eri and it's time to start the operation to save her.

Full recap

Izuku, Eijiro, Ochaco, and Tsuyu train with intense focus, drawing the attention of their classmates. Izuku recalls their teacher reminding them that they can choose not to participate in the upcoming fight against a criminal organization, but all four students are determined to rescue Eri and contribute in any way they can.

At lunch, Izuku appears troubled by Eri's situation and a prediction about a hero's inevitable death. Tenya notices Izuku's distress and offers his support, using words Izuku once said to him. Izuku is moved to tears but quickly composes himself, stating that heroes don't cry, and thanks Tenya. Another classmate argues that even heroes sometimes cry, and he and Tenya share food with Izuku, who accepts.

Meanwhile, heroes across Japan investigate properties connected to the criminal organization, searching for Eri. Izuku, Ochaco, Eijiro, Tsuyu, and three other students wait for news. Two days later, late at night, they all receive messages from a hero named Sir Nighteye, informing them that Eri's location has been found. He calls for a conference to prepare for a rescue operation. A teacher comments on the swiftness of the heroes' work. Izuku and another student vow to save Eri this time.

At Sir Nighteye's agency, he reveals that Eri is being held in the main underground hideout of the criminal organization. When asked how he discovered this, Sir Nighteye displays a toy intended for young girls, explaining that a member of the organization has been buying many such toys. Another hero initially dismisses this, but Sir Nighteye clarifies that he used his unique ability on the suspect, seeing his future and discovering he is Eri's caretaker, which led him to her location.

Sir Nighteye's assistants state they have a timeframe for when the organization members will be home and have obtained a warrant from the police. This news revitalizes one of the students, who tries to encourage Izuku, pleasing both him and their classmates. Sir Nighteye observes his apprentice, understanding the student's recent suffering over a past decision not to rescue Eri, but believes his past choices will not be in vain once the girl is rescued.

The next morning at 8:00 AM, at the police station, heroes participating in the rescue operation receive detailed information about the criminal organization's secret underground facility, including the shortest route to Eri's location and information about the abilities of the organization's members. The students are nervous and eager. Izuku wonders about another hero's whereabouts, and Sir Nighteye and a police officer inform him that the hero is unavailable due to an issue involving another villain group. Once everyone is ready, the operation begins.

At the criminal organization's headquarters, after being informed of the authorities' movements, a leader named Overhaul goes to a room where he meets an old man in a coma, whom he calls "Pops." Overhaul apologizes to him, stating things might get noisy soon.

At 8:30 AM, heroes and police are outside the headquarters and commence the operation. A police officer approaches the intercom to read the warrant when a large individual bursts through the gate, sending some policemen flying. A teacher and Izuku quickly rescue them. Another hero wonders if the organization anticipated their arrival.

The large individual demands to know their reason for being there and prepares to attack. A hero transforms into a dragon form and intercepts the attack, quickly knocking the individual down. The dragon hero assures her agency can handle the villain and instructs other groups to proceed to the hideout. Other members of the criminal organization engage in a battle outside the hideout. While minor heroes hold them off, Sir Nighteye leads the main charge to the entrance.

Meanwhile, Overhaul and another individual prepare their specialized members to hold off the heroes until they can escape with Eri and their research.
