Chapter 382

Scattered through the swarm of Twice Doubles are copies of Tomura Shigaraki, Dabi, and All For One, and every one of them tries a Quirk and comes up empty. Once Fumikage Tokoyami sets his classmates down, Tsuyu Asui points out how much worse this could have gone. Had Himiko Toga taken the shape of another villain and begun cloning early, the fight would already be lost. She did not, and there has to be a reason hiding in that failure.

Froppy reasons it through. The real Twice's copies could use their powers, but Himiko has said she only borrows the Quirks of people she loves, which suggests the other villains simply do not qualify. She warns that under this much strain those feelings could shift at any moment, so locating the genuine Himiko is now urgent.

Himiko, meanwhile, is unraveling. Twice's Quirk worked and Ochaco Uraraka's worked, so why not Tomura's or Dabi's when she is certain she loves them? Every attempt, including her earlier trials, has failed. "All heroes must die" rattles around her skull as she asks herself why becoming Twice is beyond her. Uravity picks a single weeping Double out of the crowd and knows instantly it is her, a recognition she credits to how much she loves watching people be happy, which is what made the tears register.

Tsukuyomi keeps up the pressure on All For One while Keigo Takami reminds him that invincibility does not stop a clock: the villain is on a timer, so pinning him down is enough. Kyoka Jiro shouts for the heroes to shroud Dark Shadow and choke off every light source, and Camie Utsushimi readies a Glamour aurora to help. All For One answers with a blinding detonation that blows Dark Shadow away and shrinks him back down while he complains about how tiresome they all are. Tokoyami sees that the Rewind effect has visibly restored the man's youth, and then watches him boost himself clear of the battlefield.

The heroes chase, carried on Inasa Yoarashi's wind, refusing to let him slip away. Then Hawks and All For One alike register the same arrival, the one thing that reshapes the battle: Gigantomachia. All For One orders him to finish them. Gigantomachia instead rips off a piece of the mountain and hurls it at his master. Riding the beast's back are Eijiro Kirishima and Hitoshi Shinso, and Red Riot calls down to his classmates that they came to make sure this man never reaches Deku and Tomura.

Himiko, wearing Twice's shape, produces copies of Dabi, Tomura, and All For One, yet not one of them can use a Quirk.

Uravity picks the real Himiko out of the swarm, spotting her crying over her inability to become Twice.

All For One breaks Dark Shadow's hold, now visibly younger from the Rewind drug, and tries once more to flee the battlefield.

Gigantomachia enters the fight under the direction of Red Riot and Hitoshi Shinso, and attacks his own master.
