Dabi's Dance

A cargo plane races toward the battlefield while its impatient passenger brushes off the pilot's concern for his health. Below in Jaku, Shoto catches the falling Deku and gets him, Bakugo and Endeavor to the ground. Nejire blasts the hovering villain aside, Ida arrives with word that the giant is minutes out, and the heroes close ranks.

In a nearby house, Himiko and Ochaco go at each other properly. Himiko explains the shape of her own longing, how loving someone becomes an unbearable need to be them, and recounts killing Curious with Ochaco's borrowed Zero Gravity. She produces an All Might keychain Ochaco dropped, needling her over who gave it to her, and calls them the same. Ochaco answers with Zero Satellites, floating household objects primed during the fall and swung in from every angle, which Himiko slips anyway. Told that living as she pleases means owning the harm, Himiko tears up, agrees, and retreats when Tsuyu arrives, carrying her answer back with her.

Gigantomachia reaches Jaku and swats Shoto and Nejire's new Ultimate Moves aside, plucking the wounded Tomura into his palm. Endeavor forces himself upright on a crushed lung, and Dabi calls down to him, refusing the name Dabi in favor of Toya.

Skeptic's hijacked satellites push a pre-recorded confession nationwide. Dabi names himself the Todoroki family's eldest, admits to more than thirty murders, and lays out the quirk marriage, the training, the abandonment, all of it engineered by a man chasing All Might's rank. Rei watches from her hospital room. Endeavor remembers Sekoto Peak, the two thousand degree fire, the fragment of jaw, and a boy whose hair was turning white while he begged to learn an Ultimate Move. Dabi produces a DNA match run on blood left over from Kyushu, accuses Endeavor of abusing Shoto too, and then turns on Hawks, broadcasting the killing of Twice and Hawks' own concealed parentage. Watching civilians break. Dabi thanks his father for staying alive, leaps down wreathed in fire to use Prominence Burn against him, and is caught mid-descent by carbon fiber as Best Jeanist apologizes for arriving late.

Uravity debuts Zero Satellites and ends her rematch with Himiko, who withdraws in tears after admitting she must bear responsibility for what she does. Nejire Chan and Shoto unveil Nejire Flood and Jet Kindling, both nullified by Gigantomachia.

Dabi reveals his identity as Toya Todoroki to Endeavor, Shoto, Deku and the entire country via Skeptic's hijacked broadcast, backing it with a DNA test taken from Endeavor's blood. The confession also exposes Hawks killing Twice and Hawks' father as a murderer Endeavor once arrested. Best Jeanist returns to active duty and binds Dabi before the Prominence Burn lands.

Adapted from the tail of chapter 288 through chapter 291, the episode aired 10 December 2022 in Japan and 24 December in English.

Best Jeanist appears on screen aboard the plane rather than only being heard, and Skeptic is shown hacking the Feel Good Inc. satellite network in order to push the video out. Nurses rushing to Rei's room are cut, Fuyumi is shown watching, Rei's Quirk is named Frost for the first time, and a close-up of Dabi encouraging Twice is swapped for a flashback of Hawks about to kill him.
