Episode 75

Unforeseen Hope (見えない希望) is the seventy-fifth episode of the My Hero Academia anime and the twelfth episode of the fourth season.

Summary
Nighteye's team successfully works with the police to restrain Joi Irinaka. The chief demands Irinaka return the walls to their normal form. However, Eraser Head deduces Fat Gum was correct in believing Mimic increased his power using a drug that has since worn off. The police also worry about the League of Villain members lurking about.

Sir Nighteye asks Mimic where the other League members are. Enraged. Mimic says he wishes he knew so he could destroy them himself. Sir Nighteye understands that this means there aren't any more Leaguers other than Twice and Himiko. Despite his injuries, Rock Lock pushes everyone to move along and finish the mission.

Everyone else has been fighting to clear the path to save Eri, Rock Lock tells everyone to make one final push to save the girl. Nighteye's team leaves Mimic under Rock Lock's watch. The Pro Hero admits he's just been worried about the young heroes all this time and that they've been stronger heroes than any of the adults. Rock Lock places his faith in Deku and Sir Nighteye.

Meanwhile, Himiko and Twice sneak away above the heroes. Himiko expresses that she wants to see Izuku beat up, but would like to see Overhaul cry even more. Twice shares a plan with his partner that will satisfy even Tomura. Himiko believes Izuku's last push toward the Yakuza will be the deciding battle between the Heroes and the Shie Hassaikai. Deku kicks through a solid wall and immediately goes after Overhaul. He punches Overhaul's arm and sends him flying away. Eraser Head seal's Overhaul's quirk and asks Nighteye to see to the wounded. Nighteye realizes that Lemillion has defeated nearly half the Eight Bullets and injured Overhaul all by himself. He embraces his protege and commends him for a job well done while securing Eri as well.

With his Quirk erased, Overhaul is pushed into a corner and yells for Chrono to wake up. Chronostasis actives his Quirk of the same name and cuts Eraser Head's arm. The hero was trying to save his student, but now his body moves slower as a result of Hari Kurono's power. Overhaul managed to heal Hari during their fight with Mirio. The aide to the young boss meant to skewer both heroes at once, but Eraser is able to push Deku away at the last moment.

Forced to blink, Eraser's power wears off on Overhaul. The masked villain creates a fissure of spikes that fill the battleground. Irate, Overhaul refuses to allow his plans to end here. He sacrifices Shin Nemoto to heal his wounds and assumes a monstrous new form. He admits that Lemillion was the stronger man, however, it was all for nothing. Armed with four new arms, Overhaul demands the heroes return Eri!

Overhaul's assault allowed Chronostasis toe scape underground with Eraser Head. He uses the small hand of his hair Quirk to slow Aizawa even more. Chrono deems Eraser's power worth studying and therefore the hero is worth keeping alive. Hari tells the Pro that the heroes will never stop Overhaul, he's a man who would use the old boss's grandaughter for his own selfish ends.

Deku is shocked that Overhaul destroyed himself and his underling in order to fuse them both together. The villain admits the process way grueling, but he feels much stronger now than he did before. Deku notices that Chrono and Aizawa are gone, while Lemillion and Eri are being cared for by Nighteye. Overhaul taunts Lemillion once again for losing his heroic dreams for trying to save Eri. Deku and Sir Nighteye are shocked to learn that Mirio has been lost forever.

Deku tries to take Overhaul himself but the villain sees through Izuku's power and speed. Nighteye steps up to fight Overhaul and orders Izuku to take Lemillion and Eri away. Nighteye claims Overhaul must have been very afraid of Lemillion if he was willing to spend one of his precious perfected bullets on him. Nighteye taught Mirio to fight by predicting his opponent's movements, even without the use of a Quirk like foresight.

Nighteye has refused to use his foresight to see into the far future since looking into All Might's death. He tries fighting Overhaul using his Quirk in one-second intervals. However, he reaches the end of his perceived future and is pierced by Overhaul's spiked assault.

Deku tries to lead Eri and Mirio away, but Eri is still stricken by Overhaul's mental abuse. She wants the fighting to end, and everyone realizes that Sir Nighteye has been grievously injured. Apparently, a good future doesn't exist and he can only see himself and Deku dying at the hands of Overhaul.

Deku re-engages Overhaul using power far beyond what he was using before. His body is in pain and it feels like its breaking apart, but Deku can still move. He pushes One For All: Full Cowl to 20% and says he'll twist the future and save Eri. Deku is narrowly able to avoid Overhaul and tries to deal a blow so devastating that the villain won't be able to recover from it. Aimed to be one blow to the top of the head, Deku unleashes Manchester Smash!

However, Deku's powerful ax-kick narrowly misses. Overhaul claims that compared to the Lemillion and Nighteye, Izuku is easy to predict. Meanwhile, Mirio tries to bring Eri to safety, but he's haunted by his failure and Nighteye's injuries. Fatigued and injured, Mirio can no longer stand. Izuku has survived Overhaul's counterattack, albiet with piercing injuries.

Overhaul uses Nemoto's Quirk to call out Eri, who's also haunted by her past with Overhaul. She goes back to the battlefield and says she doesn't want anyone to die. Overhaul forces Eri to admit she doesn't think Deku can win on his own. Eri believes she should go back so anyone else has to die and Overhaul says the faint hope created by Lemillion is gone. He tells Deku that Eri doesn't want to be saved. Even Nighteye believes that he can't win.

Despite the future showing Nighteye that Overhaul wins, in spite of Eri's desire to sacrifice herself and not to be saved, Deku refuses to let anyone die and claims he'll save Eri no matter what. Suddenly, Ryukyu's team crashes through the roof with Rikiya Katsukame in tow.
