U.A. Team vs. Tomura Shigaraki is battle taken place during the Second War between a team made up of Heroes and U.A. students against "Tomura Shigaraki".

Prologue
In order to defeat "Tomura Shigaraki", the Heroes are not only aware that they must separate him from All For One so they can not assist each other in battle, but they also have to face him in a terrain where he cannot take advantage of his multiple Quirks. For this, U.A. High School is transformed into a floating fortress with all sorts of measures designed to counter Tomura's powers.

This version of U.A. has disposable parts to prevent the Decay from spreading, with various students and heroes taking charge of repairing and replacing the damaged parts mid-battle. The battlefield is surrounded by an electromagnetic barrier to prevent "Tomura" from escaping. Outside said barrier is an electricity generator, which houses the students capable of producing electricity, including Chargebolt, Comicman, and Yuyu Haya, powering the barrier and keeping the fortress afloat.

As part of the hero force in charge of fighting "Tomura" head-on, Deku is set as a key role in the strategy to defeat him, as the bearer of One For All. Lastly, Phantom Thief copies and learns to use Kurogiri's Warp Gate Quirk so that they may catch the Villains off guard and separate them.

When everything is properly prepared, the heroes lure All For One and his allies into an ambush using Can't Stop Twinkling and Deku as bait, and with the help of containers, the heroes divide the villains into smaller groups and push them into portals created by Phantom Thief, sending them to the assigned areas.

As planned, Tomura alone is sent to U.A., but the first failure of the plan occurs when Deku was dragged into a different portal by Himiko Toga, ending up on Okuto Island, two hundred kilometers off the mainland. Dynamight, who was with him, warns Best Jeanist that something went wrong and Deku isn’t there.

Battle
Best Jeanist asks what happened, but Dynamight only says that Deku was taken away somewhere else. Suneater worries about this setback and Nejire Chan suggests they warn everyone. Only Mirko doesn't seem to care about the situation and the only thing they should focus right now is facing "Tomura".

As the heroes rethink their strategy, Tomura figures that he is in a floating version of the U.A., in addition to none of the escaped convicts or members of the Paranormal Liberation Front being there, so he has to deal the heroes alone. Without giving too much importance to his situation, and telling his "other self" not to interfere this time, as soon as he lands, Tomura touches the ground and begins to destroy everything with his Decay.

However, the disposable part placed underground launches up skyward to harmlessly disintegrate to nothing, preventing the Decay from spreading. This also launches Tomura into the electromagnetic barrier, severely electrocuting him. Tomura tries to recover from the shock but before he can do it, Best Jeanist uses his Fiber Master Quirk to ensnare him with wires and slam him to the ground.

It doesn't take long for "Tomura" to break free, and as he avoids being captured again, he understands the strategy the heroes are trying to employ, taunting Best Jeanist that sooner or later they’re going to run out of terrain. The hero simply replies they are never short of resources, showing him how new parts fix the area affected by Tomura's Quirk. Jeanist tells "Tomura" that the arena was constructed with the purpose of cornering and neutralizing him.

Inside the huge floating building, numerous professors and students from U.A. are working tirelessly to constantly repair pieces destroyed in battle: Power Loader reports about the destroyed metal plates, while Cementoss and Ectoplasm manage the Development Class to provide new pieces to fill the gaps. Creati uses her Quirk to produce a near-limitless amount of material to supply them with, being aided by Lunch Rush, who constantly prepares meals for her so she can using her Quirk endlessly.

Back on the surface, Best Jeanist continues his speech saying to "Tomura" that no one is fighting for honor or glory, but to stop the doom he brings. All the heroes go after him, so "Tomura" decides to shoot a shockwave to destroy the forcefield and the electricity generator on the other side, only to find out that he can't use any of his Quirks.

Turns out, standing atop the power room, Phantom Thief is using Erasure on him, with Eraser Head and Manual accompanying him; the former is in continuous contact with the Class 1-B student to circumvent his time limit for copied abilities, while the latter uses his Quirk to wet Phantom Thief's eyes so he can keep them open and on "Tomura". Despite only having one eye left, Eraser Head also contributes as best he can by using his Quirk, but he laments the unavailability of Deku has caused a halt in their plans.

With all his Quirks blocked, Tomura is at the mercy of the heroes, who pounce on him, but then something totally unexpected happens: "Tomura"'s left hand suddenly begins to transform into a grotesque amalgamation of fingers. This catches the heroes completely off guard, as he has never displayed such an ability previously, and before they can react, "Tomura" attacks Mirko with it, since she was the closest.

However, the attack does not end there, as the grotesque swarm of fingers continue to grow larger and larger, overrunning U.A. and causing great damage in its path, destroying one of Dynamight's Grenadier Bracers and some of Mirko's prosthetics. The Heroes ask Phantom Thief if Erasure is working to which he assures is still in effect, which means Tomura's new power does not come from any Quirk, much to their confusion.

"Tomura" confirms that his ability is just a natural growth of his body, similar to the growth of nails or hair, as his body is adapting and mutating to accommodate the power inside him, an outcome predicted in Dr. Kyudai Garaki's Quirk Singularity theory.

By losing her prosthetic right leg and left arm, Mirko managed to avoid Tomura's unforeseen attack, and immediately calls in for spares that arrive from below the battlefield. Once she's back in action, she orders Dynamight not to act too recklessly, something he doesn't take too well, starting an argument between the two that ends when Best Jeanist tells them to stay focused.

A worried Phantom Thief swears that he hasn't made any mistakes using the Erasure, with Eraser Head assuring him that he hasn't done anything wrong. Mandalay appears to report they've gotten into contact with Deku. He apologizes to his teacher for being dragged off by Himiko on Okuto Island and requests being warped to U.A., before being interrupted by the fighting.

Unfortunately, the heroes are aware that this will not be possible. Phantom Thief can’t use two Quirks simultaneously, and each of innumerable growing spreading fingers that sprout from Tomura's arm has the potential to use Decay. This means that if Phantom Thief shuts using Erasure to bring Deku there, Tomura will take that opportunity to destroy the entire battlefield in one go. Considering the situation, Eraser Head tells Deku to get to U.A. on his own. Until then, the heroes declare that they will strive for victory against "Tomura", even without One For All.

Despite their boast, it is clear that the heroes have trouble dealing with the gigantic and misshapen mass of hands and fingers, not being able to do anything but dodge when it comes at them. Suneater is almost crushed by one of the tentacles, while Nejire Chan tries to hold another one back with her Wave Motion Quirk, having to move away when another tentacle attacked her from above.

The other heroes also dodge the waves of flesh, with Best Jeanist using his Quirk to move Dynamight away, who got a spare Grenadier Bracer to replace the one that was destroyed. Best Jeanist reminds everyone to keep moving to avoid being swallowed by the masses of flesh, while searching for Tomura's main body. On the bright side, he also warns them that although the hands are a massive threat, while they are active "Tomura" can't use his All Might-esque mobility.

Edgeshot uses his Ultimate Move Pulp-Thread Throttle to take a huge chunk of fingers and hands with the attack, only for more to grow in its place. Seeing this, he doubts such power is a simple "growth" and not be produced by a Quirk.

"Tomura" simply responds that it's the result of his body adapting to be able to stably contain the All For One Quirk and all the other Quirks inside him. He continues his speech declaring that with his power he will create a new world where he will end inequalities and the rejection caused by lack of understanding, having every subjected under his rule, mockingly asking the heroes if world peace isn’t what they yearn for.

Dynamight responds that, even though he doesn't know if he's currently Tomura or All For One, he's sick of his speeches, and activates "Suppressive Heavy Mobile Unit: Strafe Panzer". Several guns come out of his his new support item and he starts shooting wildly, blasting large chunks of deformed flesh in his way towards "Tomura".

Thinking about all the heroes and his classmates who are giving their all, and recalling the time Izuku saved him and Tomura's words about lack of understanding results in fear and rejection, Dynamight yells the villain he already saw the real steps to overcome such issues. Seeing his trainee tearing straight through Tomura's fleshy defences delights Best Jeanist into using his full hero name. Dynamight manages to get close enough to "Tomura", unleashing a direct hit with his new Ultimate Move, Howitzer Impact: Cluster.

The point blank Explosion reverberates all throughout the Fortress, with the effects being felt by everyone including Eraser Head and Phantom Thief, the Construction, and Electrical teams. Unfortunately, despite being able to singe off the right side of Tomura's head, having recognized how he condenses his blasts to avoid widespread damage while boosting the sheer force, Tomura managed to grab ahold of Dynamight's right arm, bunting most of the damage, and promptly breaking it.

He continues to reiterate what he told to him last time, that he has no more interest in him, unleashing another wave of fingers that Mirko, Best Jeanist, and Edgeshot attempt to stop. Tomura simply mocks them, asking who thought it was smart to try and get up close, knocking Dynamight to the side and trouncing the three with his "All Might-level" power.

Elsewhere in the rubble of the U.A. building, Suneater looks toward Nejire Chan, telling her he wants to have a proper graduation ceremony, when a voice suddenly appears saying they'll get Nezu to throw them one when this is over. Suneater asks if they stand a chance, as the figure emerging from the ground declares that until Izuku gets there, they'll protect everyone. Lemillion returns as The Big 3 prepare to show off their triple-threat power.

Forcing Dynamight to the ground, Tomura realizes Izuku was supposed to be there as well, expecting he'll arrive soon. Dynamight tries to resist and attack again, but is kicked up and grabbed by the throat, as Tomura says it's good his Quirks are erased since it means he'll leave a corpse behind. Remembering back to how enraged Izuku became when he stabbed Dynamight during the War, he knows it'll make a lovely present for him. As the endlessly growing fingers proceed to consume him, Tomura taunts Dynamight, telling him to face reality that even after all the time he has looked up to wanting to be like All Might, no matter how hard he tries, he'll always be in Izuku and One For All's shadow.

Nejire Chan then appears, unleashing a Nejire Wave: Pike attack straight toward Tomura. He simply puts Dynamight in front of him, forcing Nejire Chan to alter the trajection last minute. With his back turned, Suneater stabs Tomura in the back with his Vast Hybrid: Octopus Mirage and Scorpius Toxin combo, injecting venom into the villain's back. However, Tomura simply grows a mouth that spits the toxin out, which is followed by even more mouths growing from the finger waves.

Tomura mocks the Heroes, telling them his body is constantly changing and adapting, and nothing will bring him down. In the chaos, Lemillion uses his Quirk to retrieve Dynamight, tossing him to Best Jeanist for safety. Tomura recognizes Lemillion from the Jaku City battle, who introduces himself as the hero in charge of messenger and bodyguard duty, intercepting attacks from the villains and making sure information flows using his quick speed to glide across the battlefield.

Lemillion asks Tomura why he breaks everything, which he responds is because the current systems have failed. Nejire Chan shoots her Wave Motions into Lemillion's arm, just as he responds that Tomura never had any friends, which confuses him to hear. Thinking about how his strength alone won't do anything to Tomura, but that he can guide Nejire's energy to it, he proceeds to land a point blank punch empowered by Nejire's Quirk, declaring that if he did have friends, he'd know there’s plenty worth keeping around.

Meanwhile, Best Jeanist takes Dynamight to the side, intending to sow up his arm since they still need his fire power. Seeing Dynamight's face of near defeat, he reiterates his concern, and that they'll all deal with it somehow, even though his previous experiences fighting Tomura won't help him anymore. However, Dynamight manages to let out "right side finger feint", causing Jeanist to realize that even after all of he just endured, Dynamight is not finished yet, with sparks of determination in his eyes.

At this same time, deep within the mind of "Tomura Shigaraki", Tenko Shimura reacts to Lemillion's claim about him not having any friends, causing "Tomura" to hysterically yell out that Mikkun and Tomo like him, and that Mon always wants to go on walks with him, so he does have friends. The outburst baffles the two of them, causing Lemillion to apologize, before he's hit by another wave of fingers.

Lemillion wonders what happened that resulted in that reaction, before then noticing that "Tomura's" main body is far stronger than his fingers, with their attacks barely able to do any damage. Meanwhile, "Tomura" feels his mind splitting, that even though the body is complete and that he should be fully assimilated, he can still sense a component within that hasn't melded yet: not Tomura, nor All For One, but Tenko Shimura.

Realizing he can't let the fight drag out anymore, "Tomura" turns to confront Dynamight again, telling Lemillion he's not going to fight someone who's just trying to buy time. Lemillion then thinks back to shortly before their attack, when he told Suneater and Nejire Chan his plan to rescue Dynamight and keep "Tomura" busy fighting him up close using his Permeation. Aware he won't be able to stall for much time without a solid attack, he then turns to Suneater, telling him he'll keep "Tomura" busy for as long as he needs to get that ready.

Best Jeanist prepares to protect Dynamight, while "Tomura" simply declares that they're struggling to remain conscious now, and that they ended up building their own tomb instead. Nejire Chan appears to halt "Tomura", shooting more Pike attacks just as she's about to be swallowed by the fingers. After reminding herself of her early days at U.A., and how Tamaki and Mirio befriending her was what helped get her out of her shell, she shoots her Wave Motions directly toward Suneater which he absorbs, as he prepares to unleash the true potential of his Manifest Quirk and his "Vast Hybrid", releasing every one of the animals and plants he has eaten into one ultimate fusion, the Plasma Cannon.

He blasts the energy directly into "Tomura", who counters with his onslaught on fingers, followed by Lemillion giving him a hard punch to the face. Despite the immense power of the cannon, it is still not enough, as "Tomura" mocks the Heroes for thinking that an attack like that could've killed All Might in his prime. He then turns to see Dynamight standing, who despite Best Jeanist's insistence, stands firm, telling Izuku he has to win.

Blasting forward toward "Tomura", he's able to quickly dodge and swerve around each of his attacks. He thinks about how his Explosion Quirk lets him detonate his nitroglycerin-like sweat, and that the Cluster upgrade he created had a side effect he was unaware of. Saving up his sweat into the launchable beads put a burden on the glands in his palms, and by continuously doing this, he kept storing the beads in the glands until they were forced to find other exits and leak out over his body, which gave him more speed.

With his entire body hurting, and the pain aching away at him, Dynamight realizes this is the path Izuku has been walking all this time, asking if he can still catch up to him. "Tomura" meanwhile wonders why he is getting pissed off and panicking so easily by an "extra" who doesn't possess One For All, seeing a blurred visage of the Second User of One For All, and telling Dynamight to die.

In a white void, Katsuki sees a visage of All Might and tells him that ever since he met there was so much going on so he missed his moment to ask him, but he always wanted to get him to sign his All Might trading card. At that moment, Dynamight's heart bursts as "Tomura" punches him in the chest, even despite the rest of the Heroes attempts to help and recover him.

"Tomura" mocks that all he was doing was retracing their previous battle, that "they've" come prepared with the perfect Demon Lord body for the Final Boss, and that this is their story, the Villains' tale. Best Jeanist screams out at Dynamight's heart, as his body lies lifeless on the ground with a hole in his chest.

Phantom Thief looks on in horror at Dynamight's supposed demise, crying out in disbelief, recalling back to his words from the Joint Training Exercise about always achieving victory. Best Jeanist observes that his heart was ravaged and has no more pulse, while Lemillion is enraged at failing to protect him. "Tomura" proceeds to taunt to Eraser Head, saying that his death is his fault, and for putting so much responsibility on his shoulders while standing on the sidelines, asking who of the remaining Heroes is next.

Using his glob of fingers, "Tomura" grabs ahold of Mirko, asking who wants to be turned into Izuku's next welcome present, while she states that if she was just a little faster and killed him back during the War, none of this would happen. "Tomura" simply responds that there were a lot of Pro Heroes there as well, so she wasn't the only one who failed, and considering they were forced to resort to putting rookie kids on the front line to make up for many of their desertions, it only makes sense for some of them to die. He declares that despite them taking the initiative and hitting them with all they had, they didn't come with enough people or plans.

As Mirko and Lemillion continue to struggle and hold "Tomura" back, Edgeshot approaches Best Jeanist and the unconscious Dynamight, saying that as the ninja hero, he has crept into so many bodies and is familiar with it all, using his Quirk to stick his body into Dynamight's. He calls out to Mirko telling her to continue to struggle, and declaring that the heart that stopped is a life they can't afford to lose. Edgeshot says that he will fill in for whatever is lacking in Dynamight's heart, and as Best Jeanist warns him he won't be able to come back from it, he responds he will leave the rest to him, referring to him as "Club President Hakamada". Thinking back to their time in U.A., Edgeshot unleashes his Ninpo: Thousand Sheet Pierce - Zenith, declaring that he will become Dynamight's heart.

He proceeds to flatten and stretch out his body, and thanks to his years of training, is able to stretch himself thin enough to prevent blood loss; so thin that it looks like a spider thread. Using a bubble that Wash had given him, Edgeshot sterilizes his own body as he enters Dynamight's, transforming himself as thin as a surgical suture. Despite Best Jeanist's attempts to sow it up, he couldn't stop the bleeding or internal damage, but through his form he can mend the organs from the inside and out, aiding his cardiopulmonary functions, and allowing him to revive his heart and lungs from the inside. However, due to stretching his body so thin, his own life slowly begins to fade away, as he thinks to the Heroes to keep on fighting, telling Dynamight he has to wake up.

Tomura turns to Dynamight and Best Jeanist, saying he already destroyed him, and after remembering back to his feelings on wanting to destroy everything, to rid himself of his itch, he pounces toward them in anger, reiterating his words. Mirko busts in kicking Tomura in the face, with her right arm still attached to the wave of fingers. He asks if she's eager to die, but she just laughs in response, kicking him and freeing herself, even at the cost of her right arm, which is bitten off by his bodily mass.

Tomura is confused by his sudden staggering, thinking about how he hasn't felt real damage with his body. Best Jeanist uses his fibers to wrap up Mirko's injury, as she charges toward Tomura, telling the "Demon Lord" how he's being so gentle. Tomura thinks about how Dynamight's last attack stung more than he expected, initially believing he's taken too much damage, while also noting that it hasn't been that bad.

He then realizes what he's reacting to is Dynamight himself, and that his rage during his onslaught was because he felt a threat in him, unable to comprehend the thought of panicking because of an "extra" like him. Tomura tries to attack Mirko but Lemillion appears to block his vision, as the charging Mirko states that people die when it's their time, and that she will make good on her promise to win. Declaring she doesn't want to regret anything when she dies, and sparking fear in Tomura's face, Mirko unleashes "Luna Rush", blasting forward right into him.

In recoil, Tomura thinks about all the Heroes still pushing themselves to win, even though he broke them, yet when he wasn't broken, there was no one there to lend a hand to him. Remembering the images of his family, "Tenko" begins to emerge from the hands, hair turning white and eyes becoming scarred, and while thinking about how nobody would even look at him, on the outside through Tomura's body mass, the visages of the Shimura Family begin to emerge.

As a result of the Quirk Singularity, Tomura's body proceeds to morph into its optimal shape. His desire for destruction created the bloated mass of fingers that overwhelmed everyone and kept them at reach, however the Heroes were able to overcome all that, so with Erasure negating his Super Regeneration, the accumulated damage and his growing mental stress gnawed away at him, turning his body into its ideal form. Now Tomura stands with his entire body covered in fingers, with his left hand holding the five faces of the Shimura Family.

Mirko tries to retaliate, but he swiftly deals with her with one hard punch. He proceeds to do the same to Suneater and Nejire Chan, with Lemillion desperately trying to protect them by blocking Tomura's vision. However, Tomura simply mocks him for how powerless he is, causing Lemillion to tremble in fear and rage. Best Jeanist runs forward to try and hold him down with his carbon fibers, wondering if this new defensive state is the conclusion he's reached. Lemillion tries once again to attack but he brushes him off like nothing and charges toward Best Jeanist. Seeing all the barely alive Heroes on the battlefield, Lemillion laments to Sir Nighteye if this is his future he saw for him.

Just then, the remaining active Heroes receive a telepathic call from Mandalay, saying that they'll need to lift the electromagnetic barrier, so they need two seconds to hold him down, which Best Jeanist realizes is still way too long. Fear in his eyes, Tomura's words eat away at Lemillion, knowing that he won't even look at him, thinking about needing to find some way to get his attention. In his desperation, he remembers the words of his old master, to keep smiling, and that "A world without smiles and humor has no bright future."

Lemillion suddenly appears from below in front of Tomura, mooning him with his butt. Tomura stops in confusion, smirking a tad, unaware that at just this moment, the electromagnetic barrier has been opened. Outside a figure, accompanied by a fleet of fighter jets, uses black whips to cling to the poles. The hero and villain's eyes meet, as he slingshots right into Tomura with a Smash; Deku has entered the battlefield.
