The Three of Us turns the Jaku raid on its head. Present Mic shatters the tank that was rebuilding Tomura Shigaraki, Kyudai Garaki is left howling over ruined work, and a punch thrown for a crying friend carries decades of shared history behind it.
Summary
Endeavor cauterizes Mirko's wounds after handing her a cloth to bite down on. She tells him Tomura was sealed inside the capsule, and he works out that barely five minutes passed since her report, meaning she faced the Nomu alone the whole time. He brings up a debt owed since Kyushu and orders her not to die on him; she waves the debt away. Woman catches up and decides the flame hero looks like better sport.
Mirko radios Crust, relieved to hear her voice, warning the team that the tank probably has a remote trigger much like the switch that set the Nomu moving. Tomura cannot be allowed to rise, because he is no ordinary villain now. Aizawa keeps three High-Ends pinned with Erasure and cannot chase Woman, so he sends X-Less and Present Mic ahead while Crust clears their path with an Ultimate Move.
Deeper inside, Garaki mourns his wrecked equipment while noting the data survives, and decides an incomplete awakening beats losing the capsule fluid. He reaches for the switch, screaming at Tomura to get up, and Present Mic's Voice shatters the tank first. Mic punches the doctor to test whether he is a clone, remembering Aizawa's vow to follow him because the dream he shared with Oboro still holds even if it now feels like a nightmare, then tells him the punch was payback for reducing his friend to tears. X-Less finds no pulse and no breath. Weeping over a life spent for Shigaraki's sake, Garaki explains the container suspended him to ease the burden of stabilization and would have revived him if needed. Reinforcements pour in and bury the High-Ends, declaring the devil's dream finished.
