This results in a conflict where Overhaul, supported by a sniper, kills Magne and cripples Mr. Compress before taking his leave while offering Tomura time to reconsider.

During the meeting, it is revealed that the bullet that shot Tamaki contained the blood and cells of a human whose Quirk is similar to Aizawa's with Nighteye assuming that person to be Eri, much to Izuku and Mirio's horror. Nighteye then proposes having the heroes investigate all known Hassaikai properties to find Eri's location.

While Toga and Twice were previously subjected to Shin Nemoto's Confession Quirk so the Shie Hassaikai could make sure Tomura will not betray them, the two backstab the yakuza on their own accord by taunting Irinaka into exposing himself so the heroes could capture him. Meanwhile, Mirio manages to rescue Eri after fighting his way through Nemoto and his fellow Eight Expendables member Deidoro Sakaki. Overhaul then admits that Eri is not his daughter as he has Nemoto fire one of the completed Quirk-Destroying bullets at the girl to force Mirio to take the hit, losing his Quirk as consequence.

But Eri is spurred by the heroes' resolve to free herself by revealing her Quirk to "rewind" people, separating Nemoto from Overhaul while being grabbed by Izuku. Overhaul assimilates Rikiya to go after Izuku and Eri, and though warned that Eri's Quirk would rewind him out of existence if he continues to hold her, Izuku uses One For All Full Cowling at 100% to face the villain. As he does so, Eri's Quirk simultaneously rewinds Izuku's body to the instances before his power breaks his body, thereby allowing him to use One For All at 100% without consequence.
