The first match of the first round is underway, with [[Izuku Midoriya|Izuku]] stopped in his tracks. [[Shota Aizawa]] and Present Mic talk a little bit about Hitoshi's history and about his [[Quirk]]. [[Hitoshi Shinso|Hitoshi]] orders Izuku to go out of bounds. Izuku then turns around and starts to walk out of the arena. In his head, Izuku tries to stop himself but his body is moving on its own accord and is starting to lose consciousness. He then remembers that Mashirao told him about Hitoshi's [[Brainwashing|Quirk]] before the match. Mashirao told him a strong bump could break the spell. He then goes on to tell Izuku to win the match for him.

The first match of the finals is underway, but [[Izuku Midoriya|Izuku]] has stopped in his tracks. [[Hizashi Yamada|Present Mic]] attributes this to [[Hitoshi Shinso|Hitoshi Shinso's]] Quirk. [[Shota Aizawa|Aizawa]] comments that the match is an example of why the [[U.A. High School|U.A.]] Entrance Exam is flawed; Hitoshi has a powerful Quirk, however he was not admitted to the hero course because the practical exam was based on scoring points by fighting robotic villains.

Suddenly, eight mysterious eyes pop out of the dark in front of Izuku. Izuku starts to freak out and wonders what is happening to his fingers. Izuku activates One For All and his enhanced fingers strike his stomach with brute force, breaking Hitoshi's spell. Hitoshi becomes confused by how he was able to break out of it. Izuku then remembers that All Might said One for All was passed down through the ages and hypothesizes that those people could be previous users of One For All.
  
  +
Hitoshi's Quirk, [[Brainwashing]], allows him to control anyone that talks to him. He orders Izuku to walk out of the ring, to which he's forced to comply. Izuku starts walking towards the edge of the ring and [[Toshinori Yagi|All Might]] yells for him to stop, but to no avail. In Izuku's head, he struggles to stop himself because his mind is clouded. He also remembers what [[Mashirao Ojiro|Mashirao]] told him before the match. Mashirao explains that during the Cavalry Battle, he was under Hitoshi's control until he bumped into [[Ibara Shiozaki]]. Izuku could have avoided being brainwashed had he not talked to Hitoshi, and now there's no outside interference to break Hitoshi's hold.

Izuku begins to give up hope as he edges closer and closer to the out of bounds line, but then he mysteriously receives a vision of eight silhouettes. Suddenly, [[One For All|One For All's]] power activates and Izuku is able to move his fingers just enough to break them and regain control of his own body. 
−
Hitoshi then tries to get Izuku to talk to him again by taunting, but Izuku remains silent, now knowing that answering Hitoshi will result in him being brainwashed by Hitoshi again. Hitoshi says that he was born with a Quirk unfit for combat, telling Izuku that a combat Quirk user like him will never understand how he feels. However, while running towards Hitoshi, Izuku understands Hitoshi's situation as he himself was in a similar situation (he was born without a Quirk and thus he was also unfit for combat like Hitoshi) before he received One For All. Izuku reaches Hitoshi and begins pushing him out of the ring, but Hitoshi retaliates by punching Izuku in the face. Despite this, Izuku continues to push Hitoshi out of the ring. Hitoshi grabs Izuku's neck but Izuku counters by grabbing Hitoshi's arm and then throws Hitoshi over his shoulder, slamming Hitoshi hard into the ground and in the process, causes Hitoshi's feet to go out of bounds, which ends the battle. Izuku is declared the winner and advances to the second round.

Lying on the ground, defeated, Hitoshi remembers his past; where people at his previous school, Naboo Junior High, disliked his Quirk due to its villainous nature. After the crowd cheers for the combatants, Izuku questions Hitoshi as to why he wants to join the Department of Heroics. Hitoshi replies and says that he can't help what he truly longs to be. The students of the General Department applaud Hitoshi's efforts while some people in the crowd comment on the usefulness of Hitoshi's Quirk against villains. Hitoshi declares that one day he will enter the Department of Heroics and show everyone that he will become a great Hero. Hitoshi tells Izuku to not lose too pitifully and leaves.
  
  +
Hitoshi watches in dismay and tries to get Izuku to talk to him again. Izuku takes a moment to ponder how he activated One For All, but puts it aside to finish the fight. Hitoshi realizes that Mashirao warned Izuku beforehand, as Izuku refuses to talk. He continues to try and force a reaction out of Izuku by talking about how his Quirk puts him at a disadvantage and how Izuku is blessed to have a heroic Quirk.

Although Izuku feels for Hitoshi and can relate to him, he continues to fight and tries to push him out of bounds. Hitoshi punches him in the face and at his broken fingers to break his hold. He tries to push Izuku out of bounds, but the latter counters with a shoulder throw that sends Hitoshi out of bounds.
−
In Recovery Girl's Office, Izuku has his minor injuries attended to. Izuku tells [[All Might]] about the mysterious figures he saw while being brainwashed. All Might says that he also saw something similar to what Izuku experienced in his younger days. All Might theorizes that what Izuku saw were the imprints of those who wielded One For All in the past. All Might remarks that instead of the imprints, it was Izuku's own willpower that activated One For All to help him break free of Hitoshi's brainwash. Izuku isn't satisfied with the explanation, but All Might tells Izuku not to dwell on it and tells him to go and watch the next match. After Izuku leaves, Recovery Girl comments to All Might that Izuku also saw him, to which All Might remarks that it's a good thing.
  
   
  +
Having been defeated, Hitoshi remembers his past. At Nabooh City Junior High, many of Hitoshi's classmates comment on how his Quirk is very villainous. Hitoshi gets used to being looked at as the bad guy, but has always stayed headstrong in his desire to be a hero. The match ends with Izuku as the winner, and Aizawa comments on how Izuku used every trick he's picked up at U.A. to win the match.

On his way to his first round match, [[Shoto Todoroki|Shoto]] encounters his father, [[Endeavor]], and tries to ignore him. Endeavor tells his son that he is disappointed with his behavior and reminds him of his duty to surpass All Might, ordering him to stop fooling around. Shoto declares to his father that he will never use his fire power and will only rely on his mother's power. Endeavor replies to his defiant son that while his tactic may work now in high school, he will eventually be pushed to the point of being forced to use it, much to Shoto's fury.

The second match of the first round between Shoto Todoroki and [[Hanta Sero]] begins. Hanta wraps his tape around Shoto, hoping to get him out of bounds. However, a furious Shoto creates a massive pillar of ice in retaliation, completely immobilizing Hanta and freeing himself in the process. Hanta, unable to move at all, is declared the loser and Shoto is declared the winner, thus moving on to the second round. Shoto goes to the nearly frozen Hanta, apologizes for what he did and thaws him out with his fire power. Izuku notes that the image of seeing Shoto using his fire power to melt his ice seemed immensely sad to him.

Afterward, Izuku asks Hitoshi what drives him to be a hero. He walks away and replies that he cannot help what his heart desires. Izuku thinks about how he can relate to Hitoshi, and believes that before he got One For All, he was just like him. As Hitoshi walks towards the exit, his classmates from the crowd congratulate him. They point him towards the conversations of several Pro Heroes and one of them comments on how amazing Hitoshi is despite not being in the Hero Course. Hitoshi receives these kind words well, and tells Izuku that he will become a hero even though he lost the match.

After Izuku leaves the room, All Might and Recovery Girl discuss about how Izuku seeing All Might in his vision is "a good thing".

Shoto apologizes to Hanta for going overboard, blaming it on his anger. He uses his left arm to melt away the ice, and Izuku notices that Shoto looks immensely sad.

Izuku's mystifying vision

Izuku starts walking towards the edge of the ring and All Might yells for him to stop, but to no avail. In Izuku's head, he struggles to stop himself because his mind is clouded. He also remembers what Mashirao told him before the match. Mashirao explains that during the Cavalry Battle, he was under Hitoshi's control until he bumped into Ibara Shiozaki. Izuku could have avoided being brainwashed had he not talked to Hitoshi, and now there's no outside interference to break Hitoshi's hold.
