In Episode 14, the focus lies on the growing tensions between heteromorphs and society. Shoji faces discrimination due to his appearance, reflecting the overarching theme of prejudice. The episode shifts to the aftermath of Dabi's capture, where Spinner, now controlled by All for One and physically enhanced, leads a mob aiming to free Kurogiri from Central Hospital. This mob consists not only of members from the Paranormal Liberation Front but also ordinary heteromorph citizens motivated by years of systematic mistreatment.
Shoji and Koji strategically position themselves near the hospital to prevent the heteromorph uprising. Despite their efforts, alongside Present Mic, to calm the situation, the crowd's anger and thirst for revenge prove overwhelming. Shoji attempts to reason with the rioters by emphasizing that attacking a hospital is wrong, causing some heteromorphs to hesitate briefly. However, another heteromorph reignites their fury by pointing out the injustices they've endured, rendering Shoji's efforts futile.
The episode also sheds light on Shoji's backstory, revealing his past experiences of ostracization in his village. Despite the pain, he focuses on a positive memory where his abilities allowed him to save a child's life.
As the episode progresses, Spinner's power grows, making him increasingly monstrous as he spearheads the assault on the hospital. Shoji's final plea to the mob to refrain from revenge largely falls on deaf ears.
