Final War Arc[]

As part of the Heroes plan to lure out and split up All For One and his forces, Kido is warped to Kamino Ward along with his fellow sidekicks, Burnin and Onima, as they have been tasked to support Shoto's battle against Dabi. During the fight, Dabi unleashes a massive fire tornado that sets the entire area ablaze. Onima expresses concern over Kido as he has no innate fire resistance, but Kido calmly reassures him that he'll be fine and that his Quirk allows him to alter the trajectory of the hot air, just as he has been doing alongside Endeavor for years. Dabi then unleashes a massive Hell Spider attack at the group. Kido uses his Quirk to redirect one of the tendrils away from Shoto, giving him time to build up and unleash his Ultimate Move, Phosphor, knocking Dabi out.^[8]

He helps Onima secure Dabi after Shoto defeated him, wondering how the villain is still alive despite getting severe degree of burns all over his body. Unfortunately, he and Onima are caught off guard when Dabi manages to copy Shoto's Phosphor, being burned up as they attempt to defend themselves and protect Shoto.^[9] Once Dabi flees from the Heroes to get to Gunga, Shoto and Tenya left to chase after Dabi while Kido is recovered by Burnin.^[10]
