He also makes another creature cut off communications with the outside.

In one of the rooms of the Sky Egg, the heroes and show staff discuss the situation. Best Jeanist deduces that everything that is happening is the result of a meticulous plan that seeks to seal them all in the building. He decides that the best option is for the show staff and a group of heroes to look after the civilians without telling them the truth about what is happening to avoid panic. Meanwhile, another group will go outside to face the creatures.

Thanks to Koichi protecting Captain Celebrity, the heroes manage to arrive in time to help. With the help of Edgeshot, Best Jeanist manages to capture the last bomber with his Fiber Master Quirk.

Endeavor Agency Arc
With second Hero Work-Studies about to begin, Eijiro asks Katsuki if he is heading back to Best Jeanist, to which he replies that he still does not know since Best Jeanist is still missing. He remembers when he did his Hero Agency Internship with him.

At that time, while Best Jeanist was combing his hair, he asked him about his hero name. Katsuki tells him that all the names he had chosen had been rejected. Best Jeanist tells him that an alias represents what he wants to be and what he ought to be, so he asks him, when he becomes a second-year student and received his provisional license, to return to him and tell him his name.

Katsuki has already decided on a hero name, but he hasn't told anyone yet.

Paranormal Liberation War Arc
Best Jeanist is approaching Jaku city in his plane after Tomura woke up and has been fighting the Heroes for some time, while Gigantomachia starts approaching the battleground. Impatient, he asks the pilot if they have arrived yet, because he told her to get him there in five minutes. The pilot retorts that if she were Hawks or Mirko she would have, but this is the best she can do. She also tells him to sit down because it is getting dangerous on the ground and his body hasn't fully healed yet. Best Jeanist reminds the pilot that there are still people whose lives are at stake, so his own safety shouldn't be a priority.

Before jumping out of the plane, Jeanist watches Dabi's pre-recording in which he reveals that he is Endeavor's son, Toya Todoroki, as well as his father's abuse. He also reveals that Hawks murdered Best Jeanist among other infamous actions and secrets. Best Jeanist realizes he was waiting to unveil all of this dirty information when the Heroes couldn't prevent mass destruction and the people's faith was starting to waiver. As Dabi prepares to finish Endeavor off, Jeanist stops the villain in his tracks by wrapping him with a wire, declaring that from now on, he's back on duty. Using the wires he brought with him, he successfully binds all of the Lieutenants of the Paranormal Liberation Front with his Quirk, including Gigantomachia and an unconscious Tomura. Dabi is in disbelief seeing him alive since he was positive Hawks brought him a dead body, but Best Jeanist declares that Dabi overreached with his ambitions and now he will come apart like inferior denim.

Dabi manages to free himself by burning the wires, facing his brother Shoto. Best Jeanist starts faltering but tries to stand his ground, refusing to allow the No. 1 Hero to fall here, as Tomura woke up and gave Machia an order to break free, causing the Hero to struggle. Some of the Near High-End Nomu decided to intervene and start approaching Best Jeanist's location with an intent to kill him. All of a sudden, Lemillion appears and knocks the Nomu away.

The Nomus quickly recover from the blow, and prepare to attack Best Jeanist again, but this time Tenua, Nejire and Katsuki join Mirio to protect him. After they save the Hero, Best Jeanist asks the falling Katsuki if he's experienced the world, calling him 'Bakugo', but Katsuki replies that that name was only temporary. He reveals that, starting today, his real hero name is "Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight". Best Jeanist thinks that it's a childish name.

Best Jeanist continues to use all his might to hold Gigantomachia down, but because of his monstrous strength and Best Jeanist still hasn't fully recovered, Gigantomachia is about to break free from Best Jeanist's fibers, but fortunately Endeavor uses every bit of strength to knock the giant back, knocking himself out as a result. Gigantomachia starts losing strength, and Mirio explains that the sedative that the U.A. students force fed into the behemoth earlier is finally working.

With Gigantomachy weakened, Best Jeanist redirects his efforts to retain the League of Villains, a uses his super move Blackout Bind to choke the members of the League in his grasp to knock them unconscious. To his surprise, Mr. Compress uses his Quirk to gouge out a section of his own flesh, which gives his arm enough room to quickly escape and compress Tomura and Spinner. Best Jeanist tries to take control of the fibers on his clothes to slow him down, saying that he has no hope of escaping with wounds that fatal, but Mr. Compress continues to use his Quirk to pop off parts of his body, as well as destroying his clothing. He also compress Dabi and Skeptic.

Then Mr. Compress frees Tomura and Spinner, asking the latter to wake up Tomura while he tries to buy time so they can escape as Mirio and Best Jeanist's cables charge toward them. Mirio easily defeats Mr. Compress, and between him and Best Jeanist they are about to catch Tomura and Spinner again. At that moment, All For One's consciousness takes possession of Tomura's body, and uses Radio Waves to blow Mirio, the cables, and all the other fighting heroes away, while also calls all the Near High-Ends for help.

The Nomu arrive quickly and proceed to grab "Tomura" and Spinner to make their getaway. Best Jeanist attempts to restrain them with the cables, while Nejire, Tenya and Mirio also trying to stop them, but they fail, and "Tomura" manages to escape along with Spinner and a large number of Near High-End Nomu.
