Izuku is in disbelief that the Number One Hero was once without a power of his own, and All Might tells Izuku he reminds him of his former self. All Might agrees that there are a number of incredible talents at the school but then reveals that he was Quirkless as a young man just like Izuku. Izuku interrupts, suggesting that All Might find a new worthy successor because there were other competitors who gave the Sports Festival more effort then he did. Recovery Girl warns Izuku and All Might that she will no longer heal these self-inflicted injuries anymore and insists that they find a new way for Izuku to use One For All.ДЄll Might leads his protГ©gГ© office and ponders Recovery Girl's suggestion. Izuku is healed enough by Recovery Girl to walk and realizes that his hand has been permanently damaged from overusing his Quirk. Tsuyu and Minoru comment on Fumikage's overwhelming strength and Ochaco remains concerned about Izuku's condition. In the next match, Fumikage scores another quick victory by pushing Mina out of bounds with Dark Shadow. Ibara tries to attack using her vines, but Tenya opens up the battle using his Recipro Burst and quickly pushes her out of bounds to win the match. The matches resume with the next one on one of the second bracket: Tenya vs Ibara Shiozaki. All Might replies that although Izuku was defeated, he still helped Shoto realize something very important about himself and states that meddling where someone doesn't have to is the essence of being a hero. Despite being weak and injured, Izuku apologizes to All Might for letting him down, having focused more on helping Shoto than actually trying to defeat him. Recovery Girl forces them all to leave so that she can prepare for surgery, further worrying the group. Tenya, Ochaco, Minoru, and Tsuyu abruptly enter the room to check on their friend and inform him that matches have been postponed to repair the arena. She disapproves of Izuku pushing the limits of his body and scolds All Might for encouraging him to this point. Izuku is taken to Recovery Girl's temporary nurses' office where she informs Izuku that he has gravely injured his arm and requires surgery. As he walks away, Shoto says he remains unsure about his fire power and suggests he may not need Endeavor at all. He says the only reason he used his left side is because he forgot about Endeavor completely during that moment. Shoto ignores the offer and reveals he hasn't rescinded his disavowal of his father. Endeavor praises Shoto for using his fire powers and offers him the chance to become his sidekick after graduation. Shoto exits the arena and encounters his father in the corridor.

In the aftermath of Izuku and Shoto's showdown, Katsuki finds himself annoyed as he overhears fans discussing the battle. Shoto tells Endeavor he doesn't need him.
