Goodreads Synopsis:
Midoriya inherits the superpower of the world’s greatest hero, but greatness won’t come easy.
What would the world be like if 80 percent of the population manifested superpowers called “Quirks”? Heroes and villains would be battling it out everywhere! Being a hero would mean learning to use your power, but where would you go to study? The Hero Academy of course! But what would you do if you were one of the 20 percent who were born Quirkless?
The raid on the Hassaikai gang is in full swing, and the heroes plunge into the darkness toward their ultimate confrontation. Lemillion engages Overhaul in an attempt to rescue Eri, and the battle reaches a new level of intensity. Midoriya is desperate to help his mentor, but what fate has Nighteye foreseen for them all in this clash? And does the key to Midoriya’s survival lie in Eri herself?

Review:
We get to see why the villains joined the yakuza, and it's a rather
iffy cooperation. Two of them have agreed, temporarily and on shaky
grounds, to help the yakuza.
When they finally reach Overhaul and Eri, it's rough. Mirio is set on
helping Eri and doing everything he can to get her safe. There are a
lot of battles going on, and they're all rough on the heroes. The
villains, too, I suppose. The villains are determined to hurt and
stall and win, while the heroes have hope and belief that they can do
this, and they're putting everything they have into winning.
I really like Mirio, and I think him and Deku can make a good pair.
They both have a strong sense of what's right and they do everything
they can to accomplish that and to save people. They both have very
good, strong spirits.
We see glimpses of Mirio's history here, and glimpses of what's
happened to Eri and what's broken her. Finally getting to see hope
bloom inside her, when she realizes she might be able to get out of
this and not hurt people, and that these heroes are doing this for
her, is a really strong moment. It's a really powerful message, too.
I'm really impressed with how all of this has been handled so far,
the meaning and what's happened to the heroes. I'm wondering how it's
going to wrap it all up.
