Villain (敵 (ヴィラン) Viran?) is the one hundred and forty-first episode of the My Hero Academia anime and the third episode of the seventh season.

Summary[]

Tomura returns to the League's hideout (Anime)

Tomura suffering the consequences of his fight against Star and Stripe.

"Tomura" has managed to return to the cave where All For One and the other members of the League of Villains are hiding out, though still convulsing in pain following his battle with Star and Stripe and her Quirk, New Order, rampaging throughout his body.

While the situation looks bleak, All For One reassures "Tomura" that his body will soon recover and re-acclimate to the damage he received. His successor then screams that he wants to kill anyone who knows about All Might, and the man senses his consciousness and Tomura's are beginning to fuse.

Dabi is impatient (Anime)

Dabi wants to confront his father as soon as possible.

He tells the other Villains to relax a little now that New Order is dealt with and stay on standby since they've been granted more freedom to plan for the future. Dabi says his patience has run out by now and wants to face his father again. While he acknowledges his enthusiasm, All For One says there's one major difference between the both of them. It's not the fact that he plans several flexible routes to his ultimate goal years ahead, so that major shift like Izuku being back at school and "Tomura's" incompletion can be worked around, but that he has plenty of "friends" on the outside helping him to achieve it whenever he can't directly.

Dabi wonders if more problems will spawn if one of those people are exposed, and All For One slyly says they're disposable in the end, and he can easily reroute his plans if things go south for them. If their downfall offers any type of entertainment value, then it's at most a mild celebration for him.

Class A training (Anime)

Everyone trains intensely for the incoming battle.

Back at U.A., Class 1-A is hard at work refining their Quirks and fighting skills for the upcoming battle. Notably, Katsuki is working with Izuku to polish his Cluster technique with the lessons he picked up from Endeavor, and Shoto is working on a move to counter Dabi by perfectly combining the power of his left and right sides.

While taking a break, Denki asks Minoru if tracking down Tomura and All For One will make this fight a more clear-cut victory for them. Katsuki and Momo then explain why that approach is off the table. For starters, All For One is a master at staying in the shadows, so tracking him down is near impossible even with all the leads gathered. Secondly, the Heroes' manpower since the conclusion of the Paranormal Liberation War has dropped by around 50%. Finally, the Villains are more than likely to bring the fight to them instead of the other way around, so it's more productive to increase their numbers instead of spreading out their resources.

Toru's silhouette (Anime)

Toru uses her invisibility to spy on Yuga's family.

Izuku finds a silver lining in that they could lure the Villains to an environment that can be advantageous to the Heroes, and offers to go search for one, before being kindly reminded by his class that they'll accompany him if he chooses to do so. Even though the class staying optimistic, Denki feels that All For One is still laughing at them despite all the efforts to drive him into a corner.

Meanwhile, Toru is trailing Yuga in the forested area, as she got concerned by how glum he's been ever since they helped bring back Izuku. She catches Yuga talking with his parents, asking the boy to carry out a new encrypted order that "he" sent, and mentioning that there aren't any security cameras in the area. His mother then tells her crying son that he has to do what All For One tells them or they'll all be killed, same as all the other apparent tasks he gave him up until the Kamino Incident.

Yuga's parents ask him to obey (Anime)

Yuga's parents remind their son what will happen to them if they disobey All For One.

She then says that Yuga was the one who leaked the location of the Quirk Training Camp to the League of Villains, and as Toru slowly realizes that her classmate was likely the one to do the same for the U.S.J. Incident, she struggles to hold herself together as the unthinkable starts seeping into her mind. Listening in further, Yuga's mother reveals that her son was born Quirkless, and she and her husband got in contact with All For One so that he could give the boy a Quirk and make him feel normal. While the parents apologize and say that they never would've done it if the result was them being played by All For One into becoming spies for him, they tell Yuga that it's too late to back out now.

Yuga breaks down with guilt over protecting his parents and believing he could live a normal life after All For One’s arrest in Kamino. The three then jolt from a rustle of grass in the distance, as they look up in horror to see Izuku and Toru watching in the distance, as Toru flagged him down to get help after getting him up to speed on what she heard. While his mother tries to deny everything, Yuga, with tears flooding his eyes, comes clean to Izuku about his actions, and says he's nothing but a disgusting Villain.

Izuku and Toru Vs Yuga (Anime)

Toru deflects Yuga's attack.

As the couple try to flee with their son from the two students, Yuga thinks about how much their parents have sacrificed for him, mentally and monetarily, to get Navel Laser, and how much it pushed him to return the favor by turning his dream of wanting to belong into protecting his parents much like they did with him. Yuga regretfully turns back to Izuku, who he was tasked with luring out of U.A. by All For One, and says that finding out he used to be Quirkless like him made him fall deep into despair.

Reluctantly, Yuga and Izuku power up their Quirks, but the laser Yuga manages to fire off is quickly refracted and veered off to the side by Toru, simultaneously revealing the outline of her body and part of her face. She then cries to Yuga and asks what he was really thinking during the times they spent together, recounting how the country is in shambles and that all of his classmates could've died multiple times over in part due to his actions. Before things can escalate further, Izuku restrains the Aoyamas with Blackwhip, and begs them to stop so everyone can figure this out and put an end to the situation they're suffering under.

The Aoyama Family arrested (Anime)

Yuga and his parents are taken into custody.

The family is then taken into the main building of the school, where they're questioned by Naomasa in front of Class 1-A, Nezu, and several of the teachers. Naomasa says that even though All For One gave him a Quirk, it's unlikely he's rigged with anything dangerous like with Lady Nagant, considering he received Navel Laser ten years ago. Present Mic, who first brought up the idea of a traitor to the faculty, is in disbelief that it turned out of be one of his students. Nezu empathetically asks for the class to exit the room, but they refuse in pursuit of getting answers about their friend's predicament.

Naomasa asks the three about any information on All For One, and they say that they don't know anything outside of the orders they're given, and that the man would kill them if they failed him, lied, or tried to go to law enforcement for assistance. Yuga, like Izuku, apologizes to his class for keeping this secret from them and says he's a Villain, which the latter refuses to acknowledge.

He brings up why he would call himself a Villain if Yuga tried to save Katsuki and Fumikage from Mr. Compress back in the summer camp, and why he would try to allude to his predicament through their moments leading up to the U.A. School Festival if All For One was controlling every movement he made. Izuku then says that he wouldn't be freely sobbing in remorse for his actions if he never felt bad about them and says that just doing anything wrong doesn't irreversibly label you as a Villain, as he learned from his fight with Lady Nagant. He stretches out his hand and tells Yuga that he still has time to become a Hero.

Yuga is the ace up in the sleeve (Anime)

Yuga may be the key to catch All For One.

Naomasa then interrupts and tells Sansa to put a muzzle over the boy's mouth to halt any further conversation. The detective says that regardless of intent and circumstance, Yuga was still an active assistant to All For One's actions, and there's still no guarantee that his body isn't rigged with something destructive like with Lady Nagant. The man then asks the boy's parents why they didn't tell All For One that the Heroes were planning to intercept him at Kamino Ward, and the two say they only receive one-way, untraceable contact methods from him.

Izuku and the rest of his friends, thinking back to the boy's earlier musings about leading Villains into a spot that the Heroes could capitalize on, realizes that Yuga's connection to All For One might be the key to making that a reality. He then steps up to Yuga, reiterating that he can still turns things around and become a Hero.
