EPISODE CONTEXT

Positioned at episode 8 of 25, this lands in the thick of Season 6's Paranormal Liberation War arc, directly following the chaos unleashed by Gigantomachia's rampage in the previous episode. It serves as the critical bridge between the initial pro hero offensives and the deeply personal battles ahead, particularly 'Katsuki Bakugo: Rising,' which escalates the conflict against the League of Villains even further. This is the moment the season pivots to test whether the students can stand on the same battlefield as the threats they've been training to face.
