Highlights:

Picking up from last episode, the nomu, High-End, has attacked! It's as if the newly announced #1 hero has been given the ultimate test. The intense fight is getting broadcast via helicopter. The students of U.A. are watching... including Shoto.

Natsu and Fuyumi are returning home after visiting their mother. They are shocked at what is unfolding. Natsu doesn't understand why his father doesn't stay down even after getting severely injured. That's when Fuyumi reminds him that "He'll never give up!"

This nomu is faster, stronger, has regenerative capabilities, and fission (divide into more nomu). Endeavor is analyzing as he is fighting. Hawks is helping, but he is limited when it comes to brute strength. After a brutal hit, Endeavor keeps fighting by pushing his body ahead with his own fire power.

The citizens in the city begin to panic, but Endeavor's #1 fan reminds them that the #1 Hero's flames are rising up, which means he is still fighting! Taking to the sky and holding on to High-End, Endeavor goes Plus Ultra with Prominence Burn! High-End is defeated. Endeavor comes crashing down, but manages to stand with his arm raised to signal, "His Start!"

Returning to U.A.; after a rough and tiring day, Izuku collapses on his bed and falls asleep. He has a startling dream envisioning the vestiges of One for All. When he wakes, his room is in shambles!

NOTE: It really is sad that Endeavor's desire to surpass All Might blinded him from seeing what he was doing to his own family!

This episode is covered in volumes 20 & 21 of the manga.
