My Hero Academia Season 8 Episode 10 centers on the prison walls and hospital corridors and is the penultimate episode of the series. Episode 10 will air on December 6, just days before the end of this eight-year series. Bring tissues! We are going to need them.
Deku enters the isolated ward of the Central Hospital, where he finds Spinner, who has just awakened from a coma. Izuku feels heavy with Shigaraki's final words, knowing he must now convey them to the League of Villains' most loyal follower. This scene represents the last bridge between the opposing factions of hero and villain, as both need to deal with their grief.
Deku's Prison Visit Brings Closure to Spinner

The preview for My Hero Academia Season 8 Episode 10 shows Deku going to Central Hospital to talk to Spinner in the hospital's psychiatric section. After being out cold for so long, Spinner (who used to be part of the League of Villains) woke up to find that his body is pretty weak and that his mind is still kind of fuzzy from all the stuff that went down when he was almost turned into a nomu.
While Spinner was going through all these feelings, Izuku told Spinner about Shigaraki's last thoughts before he passed away. This whole situation is likely going to blow Spinner's mind because he lost his leader and was close to being turned into a zombie, and the hospital staff said he almost lost the ability to be considered human anymore.
Spinner's Vow to Tell Their Story in My Hero Academia Season 8 Episode 10

In My Hero Academia Season 8 Episode 10, Spinner makes a big decision. He thinks even though the League of Villains is a group of bad guys, he is gonna write a book on everything he knows about Tomura Shigaraki and the League of Villains, without trying to make excuses for, or clear them of, their crimes. Spinner wants people to see who they were before they became villains.
Through this book, Spinner will give a glimpse into how he and his fellow activists fought to gain equal rights for all people who had been marginalized throughout history. He also writes about the common themes between the history of his comrades, and he documents where their collective struggles have taken them.
