Revival Celebration

The Meta Liberation Army's Revival Celebration (再臨祭) is a conflict orchestrated by Re-Destro to destroy the League of Villains and signal the second advent of the Liberation Army.

Prologue
Word of the League of Villains' antics has spread across Japan, prompting a villainous revolution that has challenged Hero Society. In the eyes of the Meta Liberation Army, this is unacceptable. Only Destro is to receive credit for the revolution that will liberate metas and destroy the status quo.

The League of Villains proves troublesome for the forces of light, so the army hidden in the shadows decides to take action. The top brass believes that the League are enemies to the Liberation Army and track down a potential connection to them. Destro's son, Re-Destro promises his allies that they will end the League of Villains.

Not long afterward, the Re-Destro's followers capture the broker Giran and interrogate him for information on the League. Giran refuses to cooperate even when bribed. Re-Destro is forced to take matters into his own hands and tortures the broker himself.

Re-Destro cuts off all the fingers on Giran's right hand and places each one of them at one location the League of Villains has appeared. The broker refuses to talk, but Tomoyasu Chikazoku manages to recover his deleted client data. Re-Destro calls Twice using Giran's phone and tells the villains to check the news. The news reports each of the missing fingers and Re-Destro introduces himself as the Grand Commander of the Meta Liberation Army.

Tomura Shigaraki brushes it off as he's busy and asks that Re-Destro release Giran and call back later. Re-Destro refuses and reveals he has over 100,000 warriors waiting to strike. He tracks their phone to the Niigata mountains and threatens to call Pro Heroes on them if they don't go to Deika City. They spread Giran's fingers out in the shape of their solute, as proof of the Liberation Army's resolve.

Re-Destro gives Tomura the choice of waiting to be captured by the heroes or going to Deika City to be eliminated by the Liberation Army. Mr. Compress believes the army's use of a satellite tracker puts the League in checkmate. They're expected in Deika City within an hour but they still need to get Gigantomachia to submit to them.

Twice is emphatic about rescuing Giran and demands they save him. Himiko and Compress try to calm Twice down, and Tomura takes his mask to shut him up. Tomura claims he has a plan and contacts Doctor Ujiko. He immediately declines Compress's plan to use a High-End Nomu but Tomura has another idea. He asks about Machia's remaining rest time and Dabi's location. Tomura finds both conditions favorable and plans on leading Gigantomachia to Deika in order to have both sides destroy eachother.

Confident, Tomura has the Doctor Warp the League to Aichi Prefecture. Compress reveals that they still have just under two hours before Machia wakes up, meaning they'll have to fight themselves. Dabi is annoyed over getting dragged into a fight and Twice berates him for not wanting to help Giran.

Himiko notices someone approaching them and the villains get ready for a fight. Slidin' Go reveals himself and that he's simply an escort. He leads them through the ghost town to two of the Liberation Army's leaders.

Tomura has already realized it, but Koku Hanabata reveals Deika City is a liberated district where 90% of the people are soldiers fighting for them. The Hearts and Mind Party Leader claims this day is a celebration of the Liberation Army's revival and starts the festivities immediately. The destruction of the League of Villains commences at the snap of Koku's fingers.

Incident
Suddenly, several everyday citizens start attacking the villains with their Quirks. Compress recognizes Koku as a politician with a powerful following. Twice demands to know where Giran is and Koku directs him to the tower where the broker waits with Re-Destro. Tomura sees Koku as just a mini-boss while two low-level enemies charge at him. In an instant, Tomura turns them to dust and tells his team to head for the tower.

Excited, Himiko says infiltration is what the League is good at. However, just as she runs off, the ground beneath Himiko's feet explodes. Chitose Kizuki calls out Himiko and asks for an interview on how a highschooler fell to madness.

Giran and Rikiya watch the chaos from the tower. The broker claims the army is foolish and that the League's Nomu will tear the city apart. Re-Destro firmly believes without AFO that the League has limited access to Nomu, and a League without Nomu is weak.

The villains spread out, ambushed from every angle by warriors for liberation that prove to be strong. Himiko refuses to answer Chitose, but the publishing director has never given up on a story before. While boasting about her ambitions, Himiko slashes one of the warrior's throats and disappears. She goes straight for Chitose, but her subordinates repel Himiko.

Himiko crashes into a store and recovers managing to impale most of her assailants using the needles from her bloodsucking equipment. However, Chitose has taken countermeasures and used her Quirk to turn her subordinates blood into explosives. This takes Himiko off guard, leaving her bloody and injured. Chitose demands to know why Himiko threw away a normal life after interviewing her old family and friends. Despite her injuries, Himiko responds with a bloody smile and says her life is perfectly normal as it is.
