Episode 2 of My Hero Academia Season 7 begins with Star's monologue about how, thanks to her team's support, she overcomes her doubts about her ability to master New Order.

In the present, the nations launch intercontinental missiles to aid Star. She restrains Shigaraki with a laser to prevent his regeneration. To control the missiles, she switches the laser control to missile guidance and directs the missiles at Shigaraki.

Shigaraki survives by hiding underground using decay before the missiles hit. He leaps into a fighter jet, and the pilot urges Star to blast them both into the sky. Star hesitates due to her bond with the pilot, allowing Shigaraki to touch her face and extract New Order, triggering her decay.

All for One reveals his plan to prevent the combination of New Order and One for All by cutting off foreign support for Japan and eliminating the Hero Public Safety Commission. His goal was to complete his body, seize control of One For All, and rule the world without interference from powerful forces like New Order.

Shigaraki's victory is short-lived, as Star reveals she programmed New Order to resist all Quirks. In the spiritual realm, New Order begins destroying all of All for One's stolen Quirks. Shigaraki's reflector Quirk is destroyed, and simultaneously, the snipers launch a laser attack that weakens him. Cassy dies a hero.

Shigaraki steals a Nomu's flight ability and escapes. He enters a house with captives and attempts to transfer New Order, but Star's programmed dominance ensures their resistance. She vanishes, prophesying that the will of a hero, embodied by Midoriya, will ultimately destroy Shigaraki.

As Shigaraki disappears, nations prevent their heroes from aiding Japan to protect themselves. The fighter pilots relay data on Shigaraki's condition to All Might. All Might informs Class 1-A that Star's sacrifice has bought them time to plan a final attack.
