The sterile white room fades into memory, replaced by the chaos of a collapsing facility. Dust chokes the air as the 1-A class and their teachers breach the lab, weapons drawn against the fleeing scientists. Amidst the panic, Shoto Todoroki spots a figure huddled in a cell—eyes glowing with unnatural hues, skin marked by years of torment. But it is Shota Aizawa who moves with desperate urgency, his capture weapon tearing the door open. He sees not a monster, but the son he mourned for thirteen years. The heroes freeze, witnessing the reunion of a father and his lost child, now a powerful, broken experiment.
