Following My Hero Academia, Vol. 4, It is now up to the top 8 students in the final stage of the world renowned U.A. High sports festival. Ochaco is pitted against Todoroki, who avoids her levitating attack to defeat her. Ochaco is sad to lose, but she gave it her best! So far, Todoroki has only used his ice quirk. He refuses to use his fire quirk because he knows it irks his father, and because he is afraid to end up being a man just like him.

Next in the advancing bracket, Midoriya, who has inherited the power of One for All from All Might, makes the decision in his match to draw out both sides of Todoroki into their fight. For once, Todoroki finds an opponent that cannot be defeated with only ice alone, and he is forced to call on his father's quirk to defeat Midoriya. In the process, however, he learns that he can use and depend on that ability without becoming like his father. All Might celebrates Midoriya's loss, because it took extreme courage to abandon the quest to be the best in order to help a friend achieve his own potential.

Finally, the explosive Bakugo and the even-tempered Todoroki meet in the arena for the last match of the sports festival and for the honor of being called the champion. But villains still lurk in the shadows, as Ida is called away following his brother's violent attack and injuries. With a killer on the loose, students may not have much time to celebrate their accomplishments!
