Five High-Ends against one woman, underground, with no exit and no backup. The episode earns its title by simply letting Rumi Usagiyama work, while above ground Cementoss peels the Gunga Mountain Villa open and Chargebolt finds his nerve.
Garaki mourns Johnny and shrieks as Mirko keeps wrecking the pods holding his High-Ends. Outside, Mandalay finishes the evacuation just as the windows blow out. Mirko radios in that she has the doctor and intends to test him with a kick, since a Double would simply pop; Endeavor tells her to hold him until the Nomu upstairs are cleared. Aizawa freezes a drill Nomu's spinning limbs so Endeavor can incinerate it with Jet Burn, a combination they repeat while Crust, Rock Lock, and X-Less slip down a hidden passage toward the lab. Endeavor half seriously offers Aizawa a sidekick position and gets turned down for the sake of his students.
In Jaku, Burnin pushes the trainees through the evacuation while Bakugo grumbles about doorbells. Below, Mirko's kick never lands. A miniature Nomu called Mocha knocks her aside and starts producing a Garaki Double, buying the doctor the seconds he needs to turn loose the five High-Ends he has left. They hurl her into the ceiling pipes; she cancels the impact with her legs and comes back down swinging. Garaki flees deeper, thinking through what Nomu are: engineered corpses graded by tier, with High-Ends alone retaining the personalities and appetite for violence they had in life, and each Quirk transplant requiring months to stabilize.
Mirko cuts loose. Luna Ring drops two of them, Luna Fall crushes the one shielding the doctor, and after the metal-headed High-End wrings her left arm out of shape with spatial distortion, she wraps her legs around its skull, dodges the laser, and tears the head off with Luna Tijeras. Arm bound, facing three regenerated opponents, she declares that anything she can stop by crushing its head is easier than a real villain. Meanwhile Cementoss rips the villa's front open, Skeptic panics and blames Twice for the leak, Geten charges toward the fight, Dabi walks the other way, and Amplivolt unleashes Supreme Discharge: Thundernet only for Chargebolt to swallow the entire attack as a lightning rod.
Mocha uses Twice's Double Quirk without orders to protect Garaki, buying the doctor time to wake the five High-End Nomu still in storage.
Mirko kills the metal-headed High-End with Luna Tijeras and disables another with Luna Fall, sustaining a mangled left arm in the process. Crust is pushed out of the laboratory by the High-End Chubs.
Garaki explains the Nomu tier system and the ten-hour stabilization window that leaves his newest creations vulnerable, admitting that mass production collapsed without All For One.
Team Edgeshot breaches the Gunga Mountain Villa when Cementoss tears the structure open, and Chargebolt absorbs Amplivolt's wide-range discharge to open the hero counterattack.
Drawn from Chapter 261, Chapter 262, and most of Chapter 263, with Single-Minded and SKETCH in place.
The staff expanded considerably. Endeavor, Eraser Head, and Rock Lock get extra Nomu kills, the sidekick offer is new, and Crust's team is shown entering the passage. On the page Ribby stops Mirko as she goes for Garaki, whereas here she scuffles with the High-Ends first, and Chubs shoving Crust out of the lab is added. Other insertions include the rear guard receiving evacuation orders, more Police HQ reporting, a flashback of Garaki showing Tomura the Nomu before the operation that originally appeared later, and a look at Skeptic watching Hawks during the conversation with Twice.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
