Not to mention, in such a display.

This makes me think that I have succeeded.

. . .

But . . . I have a feeling something is still left undone.

Oh Well.

I guess I'll have to get my hands dirty again.

But where's the fun in this. . .

If I take measurements now?

Let them revel in their false victory.

Let them cling to their fleeting hope.

Soon, there will be nothing left of it.

So, Come now.

SET YOUR MOVE [REDACTED]!

YOUR TIME IS RUNNING OUT!

[Time: "After the futile escape of the two boss Villains"]

Before we dive into the main act, let's step back in time. Back to the moment Shigaraki and Kurogiri decided to flee the USJ.
