Class 1-A is given a training mission to fight hypothetical villains. It is revealed that Nejire and Tamaki of the Big Three are posing as villains while Mirio plays a civilian in distress. Recovering from his injuries after the battle against the High-End Nomu, Endeavor thinks back to his encounter with the villain Dabi. Meanwhile, Hawks meets Dabi at an isolated warehouse. Note: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Funimation added a disclaimer at the beginning of each episode stating that the English dub voice actors were able to record their lines from their homes to increase their safety.

| Dabi attacks Endeavor and Hawks only to retreat upon the arrival of Mirko. That night, Dabi and Hawks criticize each other for having changed the plan and that it’ll be some time before the latter can meet Shigaraki. Determined to make the world a place for heroes to have some free time, Hawks joined the League of Villains to take them down from the inside. Endeavor realizes he can't seek forgiveness from his family and instead needs to atone for his wrongdoings. After a physically draining day, Midoriya dreams of the day One For All was created and meets the original holder. | |||||||||

| After discussing his dream with All Might, Midoriya is alarmed that the essence of One For All's previous holders live on within the Quirk. Later that day, Class 1-A and 1-B meet at Field Gamma for their first Joint Training Battle. Both classes (along with Hitoshi Shinso from General Studies) are to pair up into groups of 4 vs 4 matches that is commentated by Class 1-B's teacher Vlad King. Soon after the first match begins, the Class A Team is quickly ambushed by Class B, only for Shinso to turn the tide with his Brainwashing Quirk, now more advanced with his Persona Cords, allowing him to mimic any voice. | |||||||||

| The Class A Team is quickly overwhelmed resulting in the capture of both Kirishima and Koda. Improvising a new plan, Kaminari allows himself to be captured, distracting the Class B Team in order for the threat of Shinso's Quirk to destroy their communication, and for Asui to deliver the finishing blows. As Class A celebrates their victory of the first match, Shinso thinks about how far he still needs to go to become the hero he hopes to be. | |||||||||

| After a short break following Match 1, Match 2 begins, with Dark Shadow quickly possessed by Kuroiro. During his internship, Tokoyami was frustrated by Hawks using him just for information, so Tokoyami strove to prove himself as someone to be taken seriously during the work studies. Despite having no interest in training the next generation, Hawks knew all long that Tokoyami just needed a push to embrace his full potential. Having created a new move under Hawks' wing, Tokoyami takes to the skies as Class A begins their counterattack just as Kendo predicted. Suddenly, Mushrooms begin to sprout everywhere. | |||||||||
| 94 | 6 | "Foresight" Transcription: "Saki o Misuete" (Japanese: 先を見据えて) | Shōji Ikeno | Shōji Ikeno | Yōsuke Kuroda | May 1, 2021 | June 13, 2021 | 4.0[17] | |
| Against the Quirks of Komori and Fukidashi, the Class A team is divided, with Aoyama captured as a result. Fueled by a desire to surpass Yaoyorozu, Kendo engages her solo. Yaoyorozu manages to launch a bag of support items across Field Gamma to her team. With the aid of thermal goggles, Tokoyami launches an attack on the hidden Class B Team, capturing them. In a desperate move, Komori enlarges the spores inhaled by Tokoyami, incapacitating him. With an unconscious Yaoyorozu in tow, an exhausted Kendo captures Hagakure. Despite Class B winning Match 2, Kendo feels the victory is unearned, having failed to surpass Yaoyorozu. | |||||||||

| While the combatants recover, the combat zone is moved to another section of Field Gamma due to all the damage from Class B. All Might wonders about the previous holders as Midoriya and Bakugo discuss what happened in the One For All dream. As Match 3 begins, Tokoyami approaches Todoroki and reminds him that they represent their mentors: the top two heroes. Elsewhere after stopping a wheeled villain, Endeavor impatiently awaits a response from Todoroki, having offered to teach him his signature move the way a father should. The Class A Team’s strategy is quickly dismantled by Class B’s Honenuki, with Tetsuetsu focused on taking Todoroki out while disobeying Vlad King's orders to keep the damage to a minimum. Trapped, Iida unleashes Recipro Turbo, a new move derived from a training method passed down from his brother Tensei. | |||||||||

| As the endurance match between Todoroki and Tetsutetsu rages on, both combatants begin suffering fatigue, leaving Todoroki no choice but to attempt his father’s signature move. Honenuki and Iida interfere, resulting in the four combatants getting knocked out in the chaos. With the time-limit reached and most of the combatants either imprisoned or incapacitated, Match 3 is a draw. In Recovery Girl's office, Todoroki and Iida reflect on what they need to improve, with Honenuki excitedly hoping for a rematch someday. Match 4 begins and Bakugo is ready to show Midoriya his growth. | |||||||||

| Creating a plan targeting Bakugo's selfish traits, the Class B Team quickly works to overwhelm Class A, only to be driven back by their perfect teamwork. Bakugo will always seek a perfect victory and that includes not letting a single member of his team fall. In the end, Match 4 finishes in 5 minutes with a victory for Class A. After, Bakugo awkwardly shrugs off Midoriya and All Might’s compliments. As Match 5 nears, Monoma and his team begin discussing their strategy, with their main focus being to take Midoriya down first. Elsewhere, Midoriya practices with One For All, and the Quirk operates no different from usual. At long last, the final match of Joint Training begins. | |||||||||
| 98 | 10 | "That Which Is Inherited" Transcription: "Uketsugu Mono" (Japanese: 受け継ぐモノ) | Shinji Satō | Shōji Ikeno | Yōsuke Kuroda | May 29, 2021 | July 11, 2021 | 3.6[21] | |
| At Tartarus Prison, All For One oddly hears the voice of his brother which disturbs the guards. All Might is concerned when Gran Torino mentions a previous holder of One For All once told Shimura "the time has not yet come". Enacting his clever trap, Monoma declares Bakugo at fault for All Might’s end causing Midoriya to attack in anger. Black tendrils suddenly sprout from his arm, rampaging through Field Gamma. Believing that heroes need protecting as well, Uraraka restrains Midoriya while Shinso uses his Quirk to brainwash him. The tendrils subside and Midoriya awakes in the vestige world, meeting a previous holder. The tendrils are the man's original Quirk, Blackwhip, which manifested in response to Midoriya's intent to capture Monoma. The man explains that the core of One For All has grown so large, the Quirks of the previous holders are manifesting within Midoriya. Regaining consciousness, Midoriya and Uraraka go on the defense as Match 5 turns into an all out brawl. | |||||||||
| 99 | 11 | "Our Brawl" Transcription: "Bokura no Dai Ransen" (Japanese: ぼくらの大乱戦) | Takashi Kawabata | Ikurō Satō | Yōsuke Kuroda | June 5, 2021 | July 18, 2021 | 3.8[22] | |
| Despite the danger of Blackwhip's rampage, Aizawa allows the match continue for the sake of the combatants’ ambitions. Copying One For All, Monoma attempts to attack Uraraka, only for the Quirk to oddly do nothing. Shinso intervenes, unintentionally giving Midoriya a way to engage him. The two begin their rematch, with Shinso pulling two pipes down on Midoriya only to be countered by Blackwhip. Together, Uraraka and the others defeat the remaining Class B team members, and Midoriya manages to pin Shinso down. Despite his defeat and being unable to show his growth to Midoriya, Shinso can’t help but smile in amazement about Class A and B. Match 5 and Joint Training ends with a victory for Class A, and Shinso earns a passing grade for his transfer into the Hero Course. | |||||||||

| That night, Midoriya and Bakugo spar in Gym Gamma in hope of getting Blackwhip to manifest. Midoriya acknowledges that since he refused to use the Quirk until he better mastered One For All, it won’t manifest until then. Bakugo leaves Midoriya deep in thought after pointing out how One For All has become quite similar to All For One. The next day, Aizawa brings Monoma to the dorm in hope of him being able to help Eri train by copying her Quirk. Monoma is unable to do so as his Quirk doesn’t work well with those that require energy to activate. With encouraging words from Midoriya, Eri still intends to master her Quirk, with the feeling mutual for Midoriya. Having finally earned their Hero Licenses, Bakugo and Todoroki take to the snowy streets and defeat a gang of thieves. Later, the duo arrive back at the dorm, only to be greeted with a surprise party by the rest of the Class for passing the exam. | |||||||||

| While Japan deals with the aftermath of the destruction of Deika City 9 days earlier, Midoriya and the other students of Class 1-A begin interview training. Visualizing unlocking One For All, Midoriya is able to properly manifest a little of Blackwhip for just a second. Meanwhile, All Might begins researching what he can of One For All’s previous holders. As winter vacation begins, Class 1-A, plus Eri, celebrates their first Christmas together. The excitement causes Midoriya to think about how even though their future is uncertain, he hopes they can all have this much fun next Christmas. With the work studies program returning, Midoriya and Bakugo have no one to go to with Nighteye Agency too busy and Best Jeanist missing. Todoroki makes an offer for them to join him at Endeavor's hero agency. | |||||||||

| A few weeks earlier, Hawks is given another chance by Dabi to join the League of Villains and visits Best Jeanist to check on his recovery, pulling a feather blade on the hero when his back is turned. After celebrating New Year's with his mother, Midoriya heads off to begin his work studies. Endeavor meets his new interns in the city and has to cut the talk short to stop an attempted attack by a doomsday theory-spouting villain. After helping to defeat the villain and his minions, Hawks strangely hands a copy of Destro's "Meta Liberation War" to Endeavor and recommends the book’s highlighted passages. Noticing the way Hawks is acting, Endeavor immediately realizes something is wrong. While the interns are welcomed to Endeavor’s agency by his sidekicks, the Hero returns to his office and studies Destro's book. Endeavor connects specific letters in the highlighted sections together as a secret message from Hawks. In four months, the Meta Liberation Army will attack Japan. | |||||||||

| With Hawks’ message in hand, Endeavor now understands the true reason behind the Hero Public Safety Commission bringing back the Work Study program: to ensure everyone is ready for the forthcoming attack of Shigaraki and his combined forces. Accepting Midoriya and Bakugo as his students, Endeavor first seeks to understand what each has to work on. Midoriya hopes to master all of his other Quirks, and Bakugo desires to know what he is missing besides strength. Todoroki interjects, intending to learn everything he can from Endeavor, to become someone like All Might. Endeavor sets a goal for his interns, to defeat a villain before he can by the work studies’ end. Thinking of Tokoyami and the other young heroes of the next generation, Hawks sets his own goal: The villains will not succeed, and hopefully everyone will still be smiling by spring. | |||||||||

The Oki Mariner Crew is pursuing a ship carrying chemicals used to make an illegal Quirk Booster drug. Due to the difficult situation, Selkie requests a team up with the Ryukyu agency. Ryukyu, Uraraka, Asui, and Nejire arrive, and Selkie has the young heroes relax on the beach for the day to boost their morale. As the sun sets, the heroes take to the ocean while the smugglers attempt another escape. Selkie and Asui board the ship, but a cargo plane carrying the chemicals starts to take off. Sirius fires a harpoon carrying Uraraka, who utilizes the grappling hook in her new costume to latch onto the plane. Uraraka takes out the smuggler and with help from Ryukyu and Nejire, lands the plane safely. Afterwards, Selkie and Ryukyu discuss how the smugglers' client had used a fake name and that the chemicals were supposed to be brought to Otheon, Europe. Meanwhile, a mysterious man hears about the disrupted delivery. However, he declares it to be fine as he already has the amount needed to prepare for the "salvation of humanity". Note: This episode is an anime original and acts as a tie-in prologue for the film My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission. | |||||||||

| A week into the work studies, Endeavor gets a call from Fuyumi who suggests bringing the trio home for dinner. The dinner soon gets uncomfortable as the conversation switches from being about Fuyumi's cooking to how Endeavor prevented Todoroki from eating Natsuo's cooking. A disgruntled Natsuo soon gets up and leaves. After dinner, Midoriya and Bakugo overhear Todoroki and Fuyumi talking about everything. Todoroki says he can't forgive Endeavor so easily for what he did to their mother and is unsure of how to feel. Midoriya tells Todoroki he believes he's getting ready to forgive Endeavor, that it’s fine to not be able to forgive him if he wants. Endeavor thinks about what he can do for his family after all this time and wishes that Toya could’ve been there too. A few days earlier, a hooded man is released from prison and walks around a Christmas-decorated bazaar, gleefully smiling when he comes across a television playing Endeavor's victory over High-End. | |||||||||

| Fuyumi explains to Midoriya and Bakugo that Natsuo was very close to Toya, causing him to blame Endeavor for his brother's death. Eventually the time comes for Endeavor to bring the trio back to U.A. The car is soon attacked by street whitelines, controlled by a villain named "Ending", with Natsuo held hostage. Ending emotionally explains that heroes can't kill, but since Endeavor had to kill the High-End Nomu, he can do it again. Natsuo’s scared face causes Endeavor to hesitate. Ending launches nearby cars into the air, and hangs Natsuo in front of a moving train. Bakugo saves Natsuo, Midoriya uses Blackwhip to grab the cars, and Todoroki captures Ending. After hugging Natsuo, Endeavor apologizes to him as he never intended on avoiding his kids, but still ran away from his responsibilities. Natsuo has no intention of ever forgiving him and Endeavor says it's okay since he just wants to atone. Endeavor decides the best thing he can do for his family is to ensure they live happily without him. | |||||||||

| While Class 1-A celebrates the start of the third semester, Aizawa and Present Mic are summoned to Tartarus Prison by Detective Tsukauchi and Gran Torino. There, the two learn that Kurogiri is a Nomu created using the corpse of their school friend Oboro Shirakumo. Since the Nomu retain some of their former personalities, Aizawa and Mic are asked to talk to Kurogiri in the hopes of getting information about the League of Villains. Once awake, Kurogiri grows concerned about Shigaraki's whereabouts, disturbing Aizawa since Shirakumo was always concerned for others. Aizawa and Mic bring up tales from their school days and have an emotional breakdown as they reveal just how much Shirakumo's friendship and death affected them. Kurogiri's programming fails, allowing Shirakumo's conscious to take over. Seeing his friends again, Shirakumo is only able to choke out "Hospital" before succumbing to Kurogiri again. This new clue is sent to Hawks. Elsewhere, All For One's doctor laughs manically as Shigaraki’s process of becoming his ultimate masterpiece is progressing better than expected. | |||||||||

| Two months earlier, Gigantomachia appears before the League of Villains, declaring Shigaraki unworthy of being All For One's successor. During the attack, the League is teleported to the lab of All For One's assistant, Dr. Ujiko. The Doctor intends to help Shigaraki in his goal of destroying everything that irritates him, but before Shigaraki can be granted power, he must defeat Gigantomachia. The League returns to Gigantomachia while Dr. Ujiko asks Dabi to help him test out a High-End Nomu. A month and a half later, the League of Villains have made no progress in defeating Gigantomachia, but Shigaraki's strength and skill has been increasing. Intending to talk to Giran, Twice is alarmed to find out that the League's broker has been captured and tortured by Re-Destro, leader of the Meta Liberation Army. Re-Destro invites the League of Villains to Deika City to face an ultimatum. Shigaraki accepts, smiling at the prospect of Gigantomachia crushing his challenger's forces. | |||||||||

| Deika City's welcoming party for the League quickly turns into an ambush, causing everyone to get separated. Toga is soon surrounded by Curious and her supporters. Intending to understand why Toga is the way she is, including why she attacked and drank the blood of a classmate in middle school, Curious overwhelms Toga with her explosive arsenal. Toga doesn't know what a normal life is, just that she wants to be the people she loves. Due to her near death state, Toga's Quirk evolves, unintentionally allowing her to use Uraraka's Zero Gravity, dropping Curious and her supporters from the sky. Elsewhere, Shigaraki demonstrates his evolved Quirk as well, killing those beyond who he has touched. While Dabi begins his battle with the ice user Geten, Twice finds an unconscious Toga only to be surrounded by Skeptic's puppets that were modified to look like an unmasked Twice. | |||||||||

| Captured, Twice can do nothing as Skeptic's puppets attempt to snap Toga's neck. Faced with the pain of his arms being broken, Twice finally realizes he is not a double and unleashes thousands of doubles of himself. Determined to not let his friends die, the Twice doubles swarm Deika City, helping to turn the tide in the League's favor. To ensure Shigaraki's survival, Doctor Ujiko calls upon Gigantomachia, urging him to protect All For One's successor. Twice's double reaches Re-Destro's tower to rescue Giran, but is no match for Re-Destro's speed and strength, even with doubles of the League on his side. Shigaraki decays the base of the tower, bringing it all crumbling down. While the Twice doubles protect Giran, Shigaraki comes face-to-face with Re-Destro. | |||||||||

| Re-Destro overwhelms Shigaraki, destroying his left hand and the hands he wears all over his body, causing him to experience flashes of his deceased family. As a child, Tenko Shimura (Shigaraki) lives under the one harsh rule of his father Kotaro: never talk about heroes, as they do nothing but hurt their own families to help strangers. Despite this, Tenko's sister sneaks him a picture of their grandmother, Nana Shimura. However, Tenko’s excitement is slapped away by his father’s rage, while his family watches on, unsure of what to do. Thinking back to when Nana abandoned him to the foster system, Kotaro realizes he made a mistake. Tenko's Quirk manifests, killing his entire family one by one, even his mother as she attempts to comfort him. He attempts to beg his father for help, but Kotaro attacks him. Enraged, Tenko jumps on his father and purposely kills him with his Decay. Among the blood and rubble, Tenko feels a strange sense of pleasure and acknowledges that he may have wanted this all along. | |||||||||

| Ignored by bystanders, Tenko wandered the city streets alone, hoping for a helping hand, which he got in All For One. Thus, Tenko was slowly groomed into the villain he is today: Tomura Shigaraki. Back in the present, consumed with a sense of freedom, Shigaraki unleashes the full power of his Quirk, turning Deika City into nothing but a crater. Believing that Shigaraki is the embodiment of Destro’s ideology, Re-Destro declares that he and the Meta Liberation Army will follow him. At the same time, Gigantomachia acknowledges Shigaraki as All For One’s successor. Over the next week, the Liberation Army’s influence makes quick work to cover up the truth of what happened at Deika City. In their newly constructed mansion headquarters, the League of Villains and the Meta Liberation Army merge forces into the Paranormal Liberation Front as its lietenants are announced before Gigantomachia and the assembled members including an undercover Hawks. Due to the injuries he sustained, Re-Destro's damaged legs were amputated and he now moves around in a high-tech chair. Pleased with what he has seen, Doctor Ujiko offers a recovering Shigaraki power. | |||||||||

| Hawks, undercover within the Paranormal Liberation Front, has put all the pieces together except for one: Shigaraki's sponsor Dr. Ujiko. Meanwhile, Ujiko begins performing the experiments necessary to give Shigaraki power that will let him surpass All For One and obtain One For All. Back in the present, Class 1-A shows off the new abilities and skills that they learned in their work studies. Afterward, All Might informs Midoriya and Bakugo about the Quirks of the previous holders of One For All and how the Quirk passed from individual to individual. That night, 1-A throws a party celebrating the beginning of the third term and Midoriya thinks back to how much his life has changed, and how blessed he feels. Three months later, all hero course students are summoned for a joint operation with the pro heroes.
