The previous episode saw U.A. High School's Big Three fight Tomura Shigaraki together. While they managed to protect Bakugo, their coordinated attack failed to deal any damage to the villain.

As fans would know, Shoto Todoroki had defeated his brother Toya using his Great Glacial Aegir. This was a huge development within the war as Dabi was a huge war asset for the villains. Hence, his defeat meant that the heroes had tipped the scales of victory in their favor. Unfortunately, as evident from the preview, Dabi still hasn't gone down.

Therefore, the upcoming episode could see the heroes learn about the unfortunate news. As for Shoto Todoroki, he may have to work with the Flaming Sidekickers and Tenya Iida to defeat his brother Toya Todoroki for the second time during the final war.

As seen in the previous episode, Katsuki Bakugo effectively sacrificed himself in an attempt to defeat Shigaraki Tomura in Izuku Midoriya's absence. Following his previous failed attack, he was already at his limit. Even so, he persevered and fought Shigaraki once more. This event saw Bakugo get gravely injured.

Following the shock, the other heroes are bound to fight Shigaraki, hoping to avenge Bakugo. During this, Edgeshot could make a huge sacrifice. If not, he might have a huge moment, evident from the fact that he had taken off his mask.

All For One vs. Endeavor and others could resume in My Hero Academia season 7 episode 12

As fans might remember, the last time All For One appeared in the anime, Endeavor had attacked him with his most powerful attack, Prominence Burn. Using the same, Endeavor hoped that the villain would get defeated. However, Endeavor's attack seemingly wasn't as effective as All For One survived it using one of his multiple quirks.

Therefore, the upcoming episode could see Endeavor, Hawks, Tokoyami, and Jiro resume their fight against the big bad villain. That said, the four heroes have already used a lot of energy, hence they could get easily defeated by the villain.
