"All Might" is the 12th episode of the My Hero Academia anime.

Summary
All Might says that he knows what is going on due to running into Tenya along the way. All Might rips his tie and takes off his blazer while saying that everything will be fine because he is here. All Might uses his super speed and instantly defeats the remaining villains in the Central Plaza, then goes to pick up the beaten Shouta. Using his super speed again, All Might rescues Izuku, Tsuyu and Minoru from the clutches of Tomura and Noumu. All Might then puts them down at a safe distance, telling the three to go to the entrance and leaves Shouta in their hands. Izuku tries to warn All Might about Noumu but All Might tells him it is all right.

All Might begins his battle with the League of Villains, attacking Noumu with Carolina Smash, but Noumu retaliates with a punch but All Might dodges it and hits Noumu with a punch. All Might realizes that his attacks are having no effect. All Might grabs Noumu and uses a supplex on Noumu, smashing Noumu into the ground. However, Kurogiri intervenes, using his Quirk to save Noumu and allowing Noumu to turn the tables on All Might by grabbing onto his weak spot. Kurogiri prepares to carry out his duty to eviscerate All Might. Izuku, seeing All Might in trouble, decides to help his mentor and rushes to him. Suddenly, Katsuki appears, using an Explosion on Kurogiri and then grabs his plates which pins him down. Shouto appears and freezes half of Noumu's body and Eijirou tries to attack Tomura but Tomura dodges him.

Thanks to Shouto freezing half of Noumu's body, All Might escapes from Noumu's grasp. Katsuki continues to hold Kurogiri down, warning him not to try anything funny. Tomura orders Noumu to take out Katsuki and recover their gateway. Noumu gets up from the ground but his frozen half shatters in the process. However, Noumu starts to regenerate his wounds and returns to normal. Noumu attacks Katsuki, but All Might protects Katsuki from Noumu's attack. In the process, Kurogiri is freed from Katsuki's clutches and returns to Tomura's side. After seeing All Might protect Katsuki, Tomura begins to talk about violence; that both Heroes and Villains use violence to protect their respective comrades. He continues to say that the title "Symbol of Peace" is nothing more than an oppressive form of violence, accusing All Might of using the title to create more violence, but All Might calls it rubbish. All Might and Noumu attack each other and engage in a fist fight. All Might decides to surpass his 100% after seeing that his attacks are having minimal effect. All Might launches a devastating punch against Noumu, sending Noumu flying out of the USJ, defeating him. Tomura is shocked at what transpired.
