1141"A Quiet Beginning"
Transcription: "Shizukana Hajimari" (Japanese: 静かな始まり)		Tomo ŌkuboTomo ŌkuboYōsuke KurodaOctober 1, 2022 (2022-10-01)3.9[11]
A month prior to the events of the incoming War, Hawks is approached by Twice who asks him for advice. Hawks thinks about how the merged-villain group of the Paranormal Liberation Front has split its members into regiments, and their plans for world domination. He also recalls how Twice had provided him the location of Tomura Shigaraki's current experimentation, due to his trust in him. In the present, a group of Pro Heroes meet at the Police Force Headquarters where they plan to split into two teams, one which will storm the Liberation's headquarters at the Gunga Mountain Villa, and one that will raid the Jaku General Hospital to apprehend Doctor Kyudai Garaki, All For One's secondhand man and creator of the Nomu. While Team Edgeshot await in the distance of the Villa for their orders, Team Endeavor confronts Dr. Garaki. He tries to flee but is restrained by Eraser Head, who uses his Erasure Quirk on him, causing his body to rapidly de-age and grow more decrypted. Present Mic confronts him, asking why he used his brilliant science for what he did to Oboro. Mirko busts her way through toward the morgue, warning Endeavor as she comes across a hoard of Nomu in her path. Suddenly, a drill Nomu emerges from the floor, stabbing itself directly into Garaki, revealing him to merely be one of Twice's doubles. As the real Garaki attempts to flee his laboratory, alongside Shigaraki, Mirko breaks through, completely crushing Johnny and destroying several canisters, causing Garaki to scream out in fear.
1152"Mirko, the No. 5 Hero"

Mirko reports to the Heroes of her discovering Garaki, getting ready to kick him to see if he's the real one. A group of Heroes led by Crust make their way to assist her, while Endeavor and Eraser Head deal with the rampaging Nomu. At this same moment, the students are assigned to begin the evacuation in Jaku City. Lamenting over the loss of most of his Nomu, Dr. Garaki attempts to activate a device just as Mirko is about to attack him, but thanks to a tiny Nomu distracting her, he's given enough time to activate it, releasing his five remaining High-End Nomu. Garaki uses this opportunity to rush to Shigaraki's containment pod, in order to complete his experimentation as fast as possible. While one High-End faces Crust, preventing the other Heroes from reaching the lab, Mirko faces off against the other four herself. Her left arm ends up brutalized in the battle, but she manages to defeat one of the High-Ends, and remains confident in being able to take on the others. Meanwhile at the Gunga Mountain Villa, Skeptic yells to the other members about the Heroes incoming attack, as Team Edgeshot makes their way to start the battle. An anxious Kaminari is nervous being on the front line, but after receiving support from Midnight and Tokoyami, and thinking about Jiro in the rear guard, he regains his confidence. A member of the Paranormal Liberation Front unleashes his Amplivolt Quirk in attempt to take out most of the Heroes, but his electricity is absorbed into the confident Kaminari.

The Heroes continue their assault on the Gunga Mountain Villa, using their Quirks to take down the resisting villains. They also close all the exits to the assembly hall, with Tokoyami assisting Fat Gum, using Dark Shadow at full power to halt Re-Destro and his group from escaping. Dark Shadow warns Tokoyami after noticing Gigantomachia in the hall, but Fat Gum reassures him he will only move upon given orders by his master; he also reveals to Tokoyami that Hawks provided them with all this info. Meanwhile, Hawks uses his feathers to keep a distressed Twice at bay, preventing him from helping the Paranormal Liberation Front with his Double Quirk. Twice begins to break down, realizing that just like what happened with Overhaul, he has been tricked and everything has begun to fall apart because of him. Hawks tries to talk Twice into turning himself in and starting over, believing him to not be a bad person, but Twice refuses to listen, dedicating himself for the sake of the League's happiness. Hawks is easily able to deal with Twice's retaliation with his Quirk and is about to finish the job when Dabi suddenly appears, shooting his fire at the Hero, revealing he never truly trusted him. Dabi provides an opening for Twice to escape and assist the others, however Hawks manages to evade the fire, and despite being caught off guard by Dabi referring to him by his real name, "Keigo Takami", he is able to prevent Twice from fleeing, stabbing him in the back. One last Twice Double is able to reach Toga and Mr. Compress, saving them from a Hero, and apologizing to them for his mistake as he begins to fade away. Toga embraces Twice, thanking him for saving her, as he thinks about despite what Hawks claimed, he did have a happy life, as he turns to mush.
1174"Inheritance"
Transcription: "Keishō" (Japanese: 継承)		Motonobu HoriKazuma KomatsuYōsuke KurodaOctober 22, 2022 (2022-10-22)4.0[14]
Dabi overpowers Hawks using his Blueflames in retaliation for Twice's death. Hawks says he was unable to find any information about Dabi's past, as he tells him he never cared about the League's goals, and instead will use them to make "Stain's will" a reality. After he reveals his identity, stunning Hawks, Dabi prepares to burn him alive. Back at the hospital, Mirko finds herself struggling to deal with the High-Ends as they begin to stabilize, so she rushes toward Garaki to destroy Shigaraki's containment capsule. She is held back by one of the High-Ends, but through her tenacity, and the assistance of Endeavor and Eraser Head, she is able to destroy the pod when it's at 75% completion. Garaki attempts to awaken Shigaraki, but Present Mic is able to completely destroy the lab before he can, punching the Doctor for good measure. While he drags Garaki away to stop the Nomu, the Hero X-Less watches over the comatose Shigaraki. Garaki reveals that he developed the Quirk Singularity theory over 70 years ago, but was ridiculed with only All For One believing him; he also reveals the incident that created Kurogiri was meant for Eraser Head. Meanwhile, Shigaraki finds himself in a shattered mindscape, where he is approached by visions of his family members. A shadowy All For One beckons him, as it is also revealed that Shigaraki was bestowed upon him the original All For One Quirk. He is held back by his family members, including Nana Shimura, but he decays away, telling them not to reject him, as he enters the darkness. In the real world, a jolt of electricity awakens Shigaraki.
1185"The Thrill of Destruction"
Transcription: "Hametsu no Borutēji" (Japanese: 破滅のボルテージ)		Michio FukudaIkurō SatōYōsuke KurodaOctober 29, 2022 (2022-10-29)TBA
Tokoyami arrives just in time to save Hawks before Dabi can kill him. The villain attempts to corner the bird heroes, but Tokoyami is able to take advantage of Dabi's monologuing to evade the fire, and use the escalating fighting between the Heroes and Paranormal Liberation Front to escape with the unconscious Hawks. Meanwhile at the Hospital, Shigaraki kills X-Less, steals his cape, and unleashes his Decay. The resulting effect proceeds to consume the entire Hospital, forcing the Heroes to desperately flee; in the chaos Crust ends up sacrificing himself to save Eraser Head. In the city, Deku receives a warning from the first user of One For All of Shigaraki's awakening, as the Decay begins to spread into the city and toward the evacuation team. The heroes, including Deku and Todoroki, attempt to stop the wave but failed, forcing them to carry the civilians away to avoid their deaths. Burnin tries to call out Endeavor or other Heroes, but receives no response which sends her into a panic. In the remaining crater of the Hospital left behind, Shigaraki discovers the nearly all ruined Quirk-Destroying Bullets Garaki was recreating, which was destroyed by X-Less before his death. A voice starts to speak in his head, as he uses a communicator to summon Gigantomachia to him, declaring that it is time to destroy everything.
