History
Berserker joined the mass of villains Tomura Shigaraki led into the Unforeseen Simulation Joint. The Ruins Zone put him in front of Eijiro Kirishima, and he swung a sword at the student, only for the blade to break against Hardening. With no weapon left he had no answer for the counterattack and was knocked out. The authorities arrived and took him in along with most of the other intruders.
