My Hero Academia: You're Next#

In the aftermath of the Paranormal Liberation War, Japan has entered a chaotic state of unrest, between the destruction caused by the War, the many Villains that have broken out of prisons and been wreaking havoc on the streets after All For One's escape from Tartarus, and the significant decrease in Heroes after many died or retired in the aftermath. Mirio remains at U.A., patrolling the outer perimeter for security when Gollini Family Mafia, consisting of Bruno, Kamile, Deborah, Paulo, Simon, Ugo, Gi, and their leader, Valdo Gollini, launches an attack at U.A. with their massive super Fortress of All Might thanks to Anna Scervino's Quirk: Overmodification, which amplifies Valdo's Quirk.

Principal Nezu states that the U.A. Barrier is essential for their plan to defeat Tomura Shigaraki and must be protected at all costs. Hence, he ordered the evacuation of the refugees while the Heroes head to the outskirts of the city to stage a counterattack against the fortress.

Mirio helps direct everyone toward the exit. He signals the Heroes outside of the civilians' location, so Endeavor unleashes Prominence Burn - Maximum Fire and Flare Circle to make a hole large enough for civilians to fall through, with all the Heroes waiting outside to catch and bring them to safety.

Once the civilians are safe, Endeavor makes a hole large enough for many Heroes to move inside. Kamui enters the fortress and aids Class 1-A battling against the monsters. As the fortress comes closer to U.A., it starts to collapse after Izuku, Katsuki, and Shoto defeat Dark Might; in conjunction.

Suddenly, the fortress starts to repair itself as Anna’s Quirk goes berserk, causing her to consume everything in the battlefield, including Dark Might. Still affected by Anna's Overmodification, Dark Might regains consciousness and uses her enhanced properties to turn himself into a colossal monster, using the fortress to repair a new body. While Izuku, Shoto and Katsuki fight back against Dark Might, Giulio manages to touch her, and thanks to Anna's Overmodification, his own Neutralization Quirk becomes greatly enhanced, allowing him to overcome his limits and then use it on Anna. With Dark Might vulnerable, Izuku, Katsuki, and Shoto, attack the Villain and unleash their most powerful moves, destroying Dark Might and the entire fortress.

With the Gollini Family defeated, the U.A. Shelter is safe, and everyone cheers on the Heroes and Class 1-A for their valiant victory.^[10]

Onima expresses concern over Kido as he has no innate fire resistance, but Kido calmly reassures him that he'll be fine and that his Quirk allows him to alter the trajectory of the hot air, just as he has been doing alongside Endeavor for years. Dabi then unleashes a massive Hell Spider attack at the group. Kido uses his Quirk to redirect one of the tendrils away from Shoto, giving him time to build up and unleash his Ultimate Move, Phosphor, knocking Dabi out.^[11]

He helps Onima secure Dabi after Shoto defeated him, wondering how the villain is still alive despite getting severe degree of burns all over his body. Unfortunately, he and Onima are caught off guard when Dabi manages to copy Shoto's Phosphor, being burned up as they attempt to defend themselves and protect Shoto.^[12] Once Dabi flees from the Heroes to get to Gunga, Shoto and Tenya left to chase after Dabi while Kido is recovered by Burnin.^[13]
