My Hero Academia season 7 episode 7 begins with a flashback of All Might discussing their final war plans with trusted police force members. All Might outlines their divide-and-conquer strategy based on Shigaraki’s combat record from his battle with Star and Stripe and the strength of All For One and other League members.

He reveals which heroes will face which villains and at which locations and explains how Troy’s system and Shindo and Monoma’s quirks will facilitate these matchups. Following the briefing on their plan to operate at eight locations simultaneously, the narrative shifts to the Coffin in the Sky, where Bakugo and others face Shigaraki.

Shigaraki reveals a new ability, striking Mirko. Bakugo reveals they have no intel on this new power. Shigaraki expresses disappointment in Aizawa as his growth ability goes wild, affecting everything nearby. Monoma confirms that Erasure is still active. Shigaraki explains that this isn’t a quirk but simply physical growth due to his body adapting to the evolving quirks.

He suggests this represents the future of quirk society, aligning with the quirk-singularity doomsday theory proposed by Kyudai Garaki. Mirko suggests teaming up with Bakugo to face Shigaraki, who advises her to stop charging at him head-on. Aizawa contacts Deku to learn about his current location.

Deku requests to be warped to their location, but Monoma would need to deactivate Decay for 10 seconds to do so. Understanding the risk, as all of Shigaraki’s extended hands can activate Decay, they decide it’s too dangerous to deactivate Erasure even for a moment. Aizawa instructs Deku to reach their location on his own while they continue to fend off Shigaraki.

Kudo advises against using his quirk, a last-resort option, noting that as OFA grows stronger, the users’ quirks also intensify. Deku should avoid injury before facing Shigaraki.
