Chapter 341

Himiko Toga returns to the abandoned house she grew up in, its walls now covered in graffiti vilifying her and her family. Old voices come back: relatives and neighbours calling her creepy, telling her nobody could ever accept her as she is, asking her to hold herself back just once. In her old bedroom she remembers biting her arm and wishing she could be her friend Kei, or a bird. She describes a recurring dream in which a red sparrow performed a dance on her belly, tore it open and kept dancing inside her while blood stained everything, how adorable she found it, and how much joy it brought her.

Remarking that everything of theirs has been thrown out, she steps outside to find Dabi joking that even she turned out to have a heart. She insists she only wanted to see what became of the place. He asks if she is truly capable of ending this world, and she points out the question is rather late. The world, he says, does not care whether they weep or grin, so they may as well grin, and he burns the house to the ground.

She protests that a scene will get them caught, though she calls the gesture kind. He laughs it off, noting they lack the resources to be taken down right now, and that it is less kindness than another way to make Endeavor suffer. He then reminds her that Transform lets her borrow the Quirk of anyone she loves, and produces a vial of Twice's blood salvaged during the Paranormal Liberation War. Keep his Sad Man's Parade going, Dabi tells her, and the last laugh will belong to them.

At the villains' hideout, Spinner follows screaming down a dark corridor to check on Tomura Shigaraki and finds a monstrous mutated shape rising out of the shadows before it settles into the familiar shape of Tomura. All For One assures him recovery is proceeding well and the Quirk Singularity is gradually being overcome. Asked whether he is still Tomura, the figure says he is.

Skeptic then works on Spinner, citing how large a share of villain criminals are mutants and how deeply heteromorphs resent heroes over the inequality they live with. When the League first surfaced, the world saw Spinner, imitators copied his look, and he has since become a beacon to heteromorphs across the country. Spinner protests that they have it backwards, that he serves no grand cause, but Skeptic tells him the die is cast, that rioters in the streets await his lead, and that Re-Destro's trigger is now his to pull. Taking the communication device handed to him, Spinner concludes his own opinion no longer matters, that there is no turning back, and that he is only here for Tomura. Tomura orders him to tear it all down, All For One declares that anyone can be somebody's hero, and the rest of the villains begin to gather.

Himiko revisits her childhood home and her past before Dabi sets it alight. He is revealed to have salvaged Twice's blood while the war was still raging, and hands the vial to Himiko, letting her transform into him and wield the Double Quirk.

Tomura's recovery continues, with the fingers lost from his left hand apparently regrowing. Spinner reluctantly accepts the role of public face for the Paranormal Liberation Front in order to steer heteromorph villains toward their cause.

The bloodstained costume Himiko wears on the cover deliberately echoes Twice's own outfit.

All For One's line about anyone being somebody's hero is a callback to the Team-Up Missions one-shot titled Everyone Is Someone's Hero.

Seventeen pages in Volume 35, adapted in Episode 143. The chapter marks the point where the numbered heroes' story titles invert into a negative-numbered villain counterpart.
