My Hero Academia season 7 finale picks up where the previous episode left off, with Ochako and Toga's battle ending as the effects of Twice's blood wear off, bringing Toga's Sad Man's Parade to a close.

All the clones start vanishing from the battlefield. One clone nearly avenges Twice's death by stabbing Hawks, who accepts his fate, calling Jin a great man. The clone disappears before landing the blow but Toga learns about it, finding closure in Jin's passing.

Meanwhile, Toga reflects on her life choices as she experiences new emotions Ochako triggered. She also notices how despite being on the brink of death from blood loss, Ochako is still considerate of others. Remembering Ochako's earlier words about giving her blood for life and calling her smile the cutest in the world, Toga feels genuine happiness.

Rather than trying to erase or deny Toga's past, Ochako accepts her as she is, prompting Toga to declare she can't let her die. She transforms into Ochako, tends to her wound, and performs a blood transfusion to save her.

Despite knowing this may be fatal for her and struggling to maintain her transformation due to earlier strain, she keeps going. Ochako tries to stop her but is too weak to intervene.

As she weakens, Toga apologizes for stabbing Ochako and reflects on how her life might have been different if she'd learned to give blood instead of taking it. The scene ends with Toga finding peace, content that she lived her life on her own terms.

However, Hercules' shield depletes by 66%, warning All Might that he can't withstand such a blow again. Undeterred, he continues to confront AFO directly, who claims this fighting style was only feasible when All Might possessed One For All.

Using Blackwhip and Chargebolt, All Might slows AFO's regeneration, asserting that the villain's methods only work against those with Quirks. He explains how he acquired his suit and presses the attack, employing techniques inspired by Class 1-A students through technology.

AFO retaliates, but All Might notes that the villain's sloppy response indicates his growing agitation. Despite sustaining multiple injuries, All Might persists. Flashbacks reveal memories with his master, the seventh OFA user, Nana Shimura, and past conversations with Deku.

The showdown escalates as All Might surprises AFO with Superacid Injection Pinky, causing AFO to Rewind and regress even further in age.
