Prior to the start of the War, a Re-Destro Double created by Twice is invited to the Hero Public Safety Commission for a joint operation, which turns out to be an ambush for his arrest. The Double proceeds to rampage about before dissolving, killing several Heroes including the President. In the aftermath of the War, all the wounded Heroes are taken to hospitals to recover. Among the villains who are arrested are Dr. Garaki, who is promptly interrogated by the Police, Mr. Compress who is taken to the hospital for his injuries, Gigantomachia who is air-lifted away, Re-Destro and Geten who are defeated in battle, as well as 16,000+ members of the Paranormal Liberation Front. However, "Shigaraki", most of his Nomu, Spinner, Dabi, Skeptic, and 132 other Liberation soldiers manage to escape, as well as Toga also being missing in action. In the remains of the city left behind by Gigantomachia's destruction, Ochaco and Tsuyu help the remaining Heroes and Police help and save as many injured and trouble civilians as they can. However, the casualties prove too overwhelming to the point that some Heroes contemplate retiring, believing the work no longer worth it. At the same time, the U.A. students discover the corpse of Midnight, tearfully mourning their teacher and the other fallen Heroes. Meanwhile, many other civilians continue to react over Dabi's confessional, wondering how Endeavor will respond. That night, All For One within Shigaraki commands the Nomu to storm Tartarus to free his main body.
