Backdraft then demands to know if the fire trucks have arrived yet. He orders the other heroes to keep the damage under control until a hero appears who can stop the villain.
Later, he and the other heroes try to stop Izuku Midoriya when he wants to help Katsuki. Luckily, All Might appears and stops the villain with one attack. Backdraft and the other heroes then collect the remains of the villain and deliver them to the Police Force.[2]
