However, the Paranormal Liberation War ended in complete disaster for the heroes, with many cities destroyed because of Gigantomachia; a chilling death toll, both for heroes and civilians due to the conflict; Dabi's slanderous broadcast; and the flight of many villains, including "Tomura Shigaraki", who after the confrontation attacked numerous prisons releasing the prisoners held there.

Due to the high backlash the heroes received after the war, many of them decide to retire and close their hero office. Yoroi Musha is one of them, announcing his sudden retirement due to the increased scrutiny and criticism while admitting to himself that he became a hero solely for the fame and respect.
