Lock Lock and Manual held Eraserhead firmly by his arms, restraining him as King stood a few meters away, watching the tragic scene unfold with unreadable eyes.

Deku’s desperate screams echoed through the battlefield as he fought against fate itself, struggling to prevent Shigaraki from launching the missile.

A small yet terrifying red dot cut through the air—aimed directly at Aizawa’s leg. Time seemed to slow as realization dawned, but before the missile could reach him, Aizawa gritted his teeth, seized a blade, and, without hesitation, severed his own leg.

Pain barely had a chance to settle before Shigaraki lunged forward, his fingers sinking into Aizawa’s right eye. A bloodcurdling scream tore from Shouta’s throat, raw and agonizing.

Deku, eyes burning with fury and sorrow, seized the villain, dragging him into battle—leaving behind the wreckage of his mentor’s sacrifice.
