The episode begins with Class 1-A almost immediately forgiving Yuga Aoyama. They accepted him as their own, understanding their inability to gauge what he was going through due to All For One's (AFO) manipulation. The young Heroes refused to abandon their friend, vowing to stand beside him henceforth.

Clad in a hospital gown and an eye patch, Shouta Aizawa makes his season 7 appearance. He had concocted a plan, which he revealed to everyone present, barring the Aoyama family. The timeframe stated for the plan's execution was 1 week, following which the authorities took the family away.

Back at the dorm, a determined Class 1-A decides to train harder and prepare themselves. Meanwhile, Deku and Tenya head to get custume changes done, where they run into Mei Hatsume. She had been busy powering up the U.A. Barrier, aware of the Heroes being in a pinch and thus looking for alternative means to lend a hand.

At the U.A. entrance, Class 1-A had gathered, headed by Mount Lady to search for and dispatch any remaining villains from the recent battle. Meanwhile, in the Kansai Region, Fatgum, Nejire Chan, Suneater and Ryukyu were on clean-up duty.

Elsewhere, the authorities had gathered at the Central Hospital to finalize plans. Wild Wild Pussycats' Ragdoll makes an appearance, ready to aid in any way possible. Put forth by All Might, the main objective was to separate AFO and Tomura Shigaraki, while also endeavoring to crush the League of Villains.

The scene then shifts to Aizawa having a word with Aoyama, attempting to understand the boy's thought process. Aizawa urges the latter to fight back, refusing to let him die of guilt. He promised the boy that he wasn't alone and wouldn't be left behind at any cost.

Episode 4 covered chapters 338 to 340. My Hero Academia season 7 episode 5 will then likely adapt the next 3 to 4 chapters, i.e., chapter 341 to chapters 343/344. This will glimpse the Villain side of things, with a quick look at Toga Himiko, Dabi and Spinner and begin setting the stage for the Mutant Revolution.

Once more back at the U.A., the young Heroes are deployed at the various stations as they prepare for the oncoming attack. For My Hero Academia season 7 episode 5, Studio Bones might also include the bit where Aoyama explains AFO's plan to Deku, with the Villain himself making an appearance to kick off a battle with the green-haired boy.
