Chapter 295

Bruised and barely upright, Izuku comes around after Dabi's strike put him under, and the sight of Shoto breathing nearby steadies him. Rest lasts seconds. A stabbing pressure blooms behind his eyes, and he recognizes it from All Might's notebook as Danger Sense, the ability of One For All's fourth holder. Reading about a Quirk is nothing like absorbing its flood of warnings, and the signals swamp him exactly as Blackwhip once did.

Cables from Best Jeanist and a charging Lemillion converge on Mr. Compress, whose thoughts are already elsewhere. He has noticed the Near High-End Nomu still obeying Shigaraki, and reasons that a conscious leader could summon the entire pack and flip the fight. So he draws the heroes onto himself and hands the real job to Spinner, keeping Dabi and Skeptic compressed inside his scarf, trusting that nobody is more devoted. Spinner recalls Doctor Garaki explaining how the attached family hands both fed and calmed Tomura's rage, digs the burnt remnant of Nana Shimura's hand from his pocket, and presses it against his leader's face as the cables close.

Tomura's eyes open, and a pulse of Radio Waves flings Lemillion, the cables, and the surrounding heroes clear, and the Near High-Ends swing around to face him. The one issuing orders, though, is All For One. He remarks on the quality of the company his successor kept, calls emotion itself a form of power, and notes that every feeling Tomura refuses to release only tightens his own hold. Detailed commands through Radio Waves, he adds, are beyond someone at Tomura's level. Spinner objects to abandoning Mr. Compress, Gigantomachia, and a still absent Himiko Toga, and is told those are the costs of losing to Deku and Endeavor. Nomu carry the pair off while Lemillion, Ingenium, Nejire Chan, and Best Jeanist chase without success, and Shoto, Endeavor, and Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight struggle just to stay awake. Deku hurls himself skyward on Blackwhip Froppy Style, only to receive a promise of a rematch once the body is finished and another blast that sends him tumbling. Watching the Nomu shrink into the distance, he holds two thoughts at once: none of it can be forgiven, and the face he glimpsed being devoured in the vestige world belonged to someone who needed saving.

Danger Sense, carried by One For All's fourth user, awakens in Izuku without warning. All For One retakes command of Tomura's body and calls the surviving Near High-Ends with Radio Waves, buying an escape for himself, Spinner, Skeptic, and Dabi. Gigantomachia, Himiko Toga, and Mr. Compress are all left where they fell. Deku faces the hijacked Tomura one final time and is blown away, carrying the memory of the vestige swallowed by All For One and the promise that they will meet again.

Horikoshi's author comment credits Tsutsui Sensei's passion for the medium and congratulates him on wrapping up his series. The chapter's first printing skipped the panel of Skeptic's marble being handed to Spinner, an omission repaired for the volume edition. The fighting spans Jaku City and draws on One For All with Danger Sense and Blackwhip, plus Permeation, Compress, Fiber Master, Radio Waves, and Engine, concluding both the Hospital Raid Team's clash with the Near High-Ends and Best Jeanist's stand alongside the trainees.
