Disaster Walker

News helicopters circle Jaku, where roughly a third of the city lies flattened and rescue crews are still pulling civilians clear. Broadcasters measure the wreckage against Deika and ask aloud what Japan is facing. All Might takes in the coverage beside Eri with mounting dread, and inside Tartarus the imprisoned All For One listens and smiles.

With every other hero pinned down by revived Nomu, Endeavor keeps hammering away at Tomura. Ryukyu joins the attack and both end up in the dirt, Tomura perched on top of them, mocking the fist Endeavor once raised in Kyushu. Full mastery over Decay, he explains, let him spare several Nomu capsules. Garaki gleefully tells Present Mic what the survivors are: untested High-Ends roused by Radio Waves, incapable of real thought yet far above ordinary stock, which earns them the label Near High-End.

Gran Torino works out that Eraser Head is the target and races back, but Tomura arrives first. Refusing to die and hand his stolen Quirks back, Aizawa draws his knife instead. Deku intercepts, arguing that an erased Tomura remains beatable and that losing their teacher is the genuine worst case. Bakugo follows up with an AP Machine-Gun barrage, then Endeavor lands a burning punch. A voice inside Tomura's skull orders him to seize One For All and calls Deku little brother, which rattles them both. He decays the lingering image of his master, insisting the dream belongs to him alone.

Out at the villa, Gigantomachia scoops up Mr. Compress, Spinner and Himiko while Dabi collects Skeptic, and the giant sets off toward his master. Mt. Lady plants herself in his path; Kamui Woods and Midnight move in to help and are caught by Dabi's blueflame, and Mr. Compress finishes Midnight with compressed debris. Bleeding out on the ground, she radios Momo with one last instruction: the sedative has to go into the beast's mouth. Momo steadies herself, posts Jiro and Shoji as spotters, mass-produces vials, and rallies her classmates to stand and fight.

Tomura confirms he shielded several Nomu capsules with his refined Decay, and Garaki christens the awakened batch Near High-End Nomu. Deku and Bakugo openly enter the fight to shield Eraser Head, and Endeavor accepts their presence rather than send them away. Tomura rejects the vestige of All For One speaking through him, declaring he intends to surpass the man who raised him.

Gigantomachia wakes and carries the League toward Jaku, confirming to Dabi that Tomura is active. Mt. Lady and Kamui Woods slow the giant by seizing his legs. Midnight is mortally wounded and passes her final plan to Momo, who takes command of the student backup team, assigns lookouts, and commits the group to sedating the beast.

The episode covers portions of chapters 276 through 278, aired in Japan on 12 November 2022 with an English dub on 26 November. Single-Minded opens the episode and SKETCH closes it.

Several adaptation changes appear. The reporters themselves are never shown during the helicopter broadcast, the opening exchange between Tomura, Endeavor and Ryukyu runs longer, and additional Police Force HQ material is inserted. Fourth Kind's assistance to Mt. Lady is cut, and Suneater is absent from Re-Destro's Stress attack. Gigantomachia collecting the League and Dabi grabbing Skeptic were restored here after being dropped from chapter 273, and Deku kicking Tomura ahead of the Vanishing Fist is an anime addition.
