My Hero Academia season 6 adapted the Paranormal Liberation War Arc and Dark Hero Arc from the manga series. The anime saw several heroes hanging up their capes after the huge blow they received from the villains during the Paranormal Liberation War. Among the affected heroes was Deku, who decided to work alone to avoid people close to him getting hurt.

After some struggle, U.A.'s Class 1A students managed to bring Deku back to the school. Unfortunately, around the same time, All Might learned that All For One is going to get completely transferred to Shigaraki in just three days. Hence, he summoned backup from America to take on the villain.
