Hawks informs Best Jeanist that they have inferred from Doctor Kyudai Garaki's interrogation, the research of the Nomus in Central Hospital, and the testimony of the assassins Deku defeated, that Tomura requires two months of rest before his body is restored.

Meanwhile, All Might tells Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi and Sansa that the information from Stain proved that Shigaraki and All For One's repeated blasts of Radio Waves were the reason for the system's breakdown. It is then discovered that, if the stored data is correct, Shigaraki ought to be ready in 38 days rather than two months.

All Might's request for aid in dealing with All For One and Shigaraki is debated at the United Nations. Several points are raised by the heads of the nations, such as the need to complete a significant amount of paperwork and how nations will become vulnerable with the departure of heroes.

However, it is revealed in My Hero Academia season 6 episode 25, that several foreign heroes, such as Salaam and Big Red Dot, are eager to help. Finally, it is revealed that America's No. 1 Hero, Star and Stripe, is already on her way to assist All Might.

In My Hero Academia season 6 episode 24, A Young Woman's Declaration, viewers saw Principal Nezu reveal how he enhanced the security system of U.A. High. In the event of an emergency, the school would be divided into sections that would follow a random path in an underground network. But, U.A. High's security proved insufficient to persuade the refugees to allow Deku to stay at the institution. The attempts at persuasion by Current Mic and Best Jeanist made it worse.

So, Ochaco stepped up for Deku, asking everyone to realize that, despite having exceptional powers, he was not special and had instead pushed his body to its limits. She stated that he was just a high school kid who needed to rest. Following her speech, the residents agreed to allow Midoriya to return to U.A.
