My Hero Academia season 7 episode 6 begins with a flashback to when All Might visited the students’ dorm to discuss their strategy for the second final battle. All Might explains that despite their efforts to locate AFO, the chances of finding him are extremely low.

As the students question the point of their search, Detective Tsukauchi reassures them that it is essential to execute Aizawa’s plan to lure AFO out using the traitor, Aoyama. The students are pleased to hear of Aoyama’s cooperation.

All Might also reveals that they discovered AFO’s ability to detect lies is through a person’s voice, and they’ve found a way to bypass this. The narrative then reveals how AFO was unable to detect lies during his phone calls with Aoyama and his parents, who were under the effects of Shinso’s quirk.

As Shinso enters the scene, Tsuyu recalls that during training, he mentioned he couldn't make the people he controls speak. Shinso responds that he has been undergoing quirk development training and now can make people under his control talk.

The students cheer him on. Principal Nezu explains that, despite not having his provisional license yet, Shinso has received special permission to join the final battle. Tokoyami voices his worry that the villains might find out if all the heroes gather together. However, All Might reassures him, stating that another key person will make their plan possible.

The scene shifts to Central Hospital, focusing on Kurogiri. Vlad King and Aizawa inform Monoma that he must copy and master Kurogiri’s quirk for the final war. Aizawa mentions that his quirk is nearly useless after losing an eye. Monoma reflects briefly on his past before agreeing to help and prove himself as a hero.

My Hero Academia season 7 episode 6 shifts to the final war as Monoma opens portals using Kurogiri’s quirk, teleporting the heroes. All Might leads the operation, aware that AFO seeks to end everything with OFA within reach.

The heroes and villains clash, with Dabi facing Endeavor, only for Shoto to intervene. Class 1-A students emerge from the portals. All Might activates the Troy system, trapping villains in cages. As AFO decodes their plan, Monoma opens more portals, and the heroes push the cages inside while the villains try to break free.

In the chaos, Deku is unexpectedly pulled into one of the portals, separating him from Bakugo and the others. Afterward, Fat Gum protects Aoyama, while Monoma reunites with Aizawa.

High, where Shigaraki confronts Bakugo, Jeanist, Mirko, and others.

Bakugo informs Jeanist that Deku has been pulled into another portal. The narrative moves to the Okuto Island site, revealing that Toga was the one who separated Deku.

Tsuyu and Uraraka say that Deku is supposed to battle Shigaraki and are surprised to see Deku there, while Jeanist expresses concern over his absence.

Amajiki emphasizes Deku's importance to their victory, and Nejire suggests informing everyone about this development. However, Mirko urges them to focus on preparing to confront Shigaraki, describing him as the "deadliest villain in human history."

Shigaraki realizes his isolated position and activates decay as soon as he hits the ground. Unexpectedly, the ground elevates him into the air, and he collides with the electromagnetic barrier, getting electrocuted. Jeanist seizes the chance to restrain him, but Shigaraki breaks free.

In the closing scenes of My Hero Academia season 7 episode 6, the decayed floor is reconstructed as Jeanist explains the purpose of The Coffin in the Sky, a fortress designed specifically to counter Shigaraki.

He describes the fortress's functionality, with a team including Cementoss, Power Loader, Hatsume, and other support-course students alongside Momo, who constantly reconstruct and maintain it while Kaminari and others power it up.

Meanwhile, Bakugo and the heroes engage Shigaraki. His shockwave attack fails as Monoma uses Aizawa’s Erasure quirk on him. Aizawa ponders their strategy now that Deku is missing. The episode concludes with Mirko confronting Shigaraki, who uses a new attack, rapidly multiplying his arm and striking Mirko as he expresses his disappointment in Aizawa.
