Chapter Summaries

Batman, Flash, and Yota tried to recruit Arthur Curry to help protect the world, but Arthur refused and pointed them toward Superman instead.

• Yota asked Arthur to consult his Atlantean friends about events in Atlantis and relay concerns to them.
• Arthur warned that Atlanteans cared mainly about pollution from the land and showed little interest in human affairs.

• Arthur called Yota by his name and prepared to contact the Atlanteans, remarking that they had been unusually busy.

After the Atlanteans failed to answer Aquaman’s conch, Yota suspected the Mother Boxes had caused trouble for both Atlantis and the Amazonians. He explained the weakened state of Earth’s ancient protectors, and Batman concluded that the Mother Boxes had to be protected to stop Apokolips’s invasion.

• Aquaman repeatedly blew the conch after the Atlanteans failed to appear, growing anxious that something had happened to Atlantis.
• Yota told Batman that the Atlanteans’ silence and Wonder Woman’s disappearance might be connected to abnormal changes in the Mother Boxes.

• Batman concluded that the Mother Boxes were gateways for Apokolips and that protecting them was the group’s highest priority.

Mera told Arthur, Batman, Yota, and the others about Apokolips and the threat posed by the Mother Boxes. After learning Atlantis had contained its Mother Box’s signals, they decided to check the one on Paradise Island.

• Mera arrived and told Arthur that Atlantis was preparing for a crisis involving the Mother Box.

• Hippolyta explained that the island’s Mother Box had begun attacking them and led the group to a temple.
• Yota sensed that Diana was weakened and detected powerful energy coming from the Mother Box chained above the temple floor.

Yota and Batman learned that Diana had been gravely wounded while suppressing the Amazonian Mother Box, and Yota identified the attack as Darkseid’s Omega Beams. Yota healed Diana enough for her to awaken, leaving her reunited with Hippolyta.

• Yota found Diana with a hole in her chest and both hands severed, then used Yang Release Chakra to repair her injuries.
• Diana woke as her wounds healed, and Hippolyta rushed to her daughter.

Diana recovered from the Omega Beams but had lost both hands, and Yota sought a way to heal her without risking her life. He borrowed Marco's Phoenix Fruit and returned to Paradise Island, where the group was still waiting.

• Diana remembered the Omega Beams had destroyed her hands and Bracelets of Submission, but insisted the fight against the Mother Box mattered more than her injuries.
• Hippolyta explained that Diana's hands had been erased, and Yota warned that neither reattaching them nor fitting ordinary replacement arms would work.
• Yota decided that Marco's Phoenix Fruit might restore Diana's hands, and Hippolyta offered him anything from Paradise Island's treasury if he could heal her.
• Yota traveled to the Pirate World, borrowed Marco's Phoenix Fruit, and returned to Paradise Island after spending several hours at a banquet.
• Yota arrived back in the middle of the night and found the group still awake and waiting for him.

Yota healed Wonder Woman by giving her the Phoenix Fruit, then explained its powers and offered Flash a different Devil Fruit in exchange for studying the Speed Force. The chapter left Flash defending his fighting ability as Yota and Wonder Woman pointed out how often he lost to weaker opponents.

After Flash ate an artificial Devil Fruit, Yota and Batman discussed the threat Apokolips still posed despite the Mother Boxes being under control. The group split up to contact Superman and the government while Aquaman and Mera stayed behind to guard Paradise Island.

• Flash ate an artificial Devil Fruit and showed off his increased strength, while Yota declined to become a speedster himself.

• The group split into two teams: Yota and Wonder Woman went to find Martha, while Flash accompanied Batman to the DEO.
• Aquaman and Mera remained on Paradise Island to guard its Mother Box and protect the island.

Yota and Wonder Woman went to Kent Farm to contact Superman about a possible crisis, where they found Lois Lane visiting Martha. Martha agreed to help them reach Clark, and Lois showed them the Kryptonian video-call device he had left behind.

After Cyborg’s betrayal prompted the American Government to mobilize, the Justice League faced a massive Parademon attack on Metropolis. The heroes fought off Kryptonite-wielding Parademons as Flash evacuated the city, but the invasion continued.

• The American Government searched unsuccessfully for Cyborg, while the Justice League formed with Yota taking Cyborg’s place.
• Superman and Batman planned to use the Fortress of Solitude to search for Cyborg, but a large Parademon attack struck Metropolis first.
• Superman rapidly defeated many Parademons until green-glowing Parademons carrying Kryptonite stopped him.
• Yota deduced that the Kryptonite came from the DEO’s stockpile and used an Almighty Push to knock away the Parademons attacking Superman.
• Flash evacuated Metropolis as more Parademons filled the sky, while the Justice League continued fighting.

Yota and the Super Heroes fought Steppenwolf, whose armor resisted Yota’s spatial attack and whose strength kept the team on the defensive. As Parademons joined the battle, Superman was forced to retreat under a barrage of Kryptonite.

• Flash joined Superman, while Wonder Woman and Aquaman landed nearby and warned that a major threat was coming.
• Steppenwolf arrived and demanded that the heroes submit to him and Lord Darkseid, but Yota mocked his loyalty and provoked him into attacking.
• Yota evaded Steppenwolf’s axe with Kamui and struck him with a spatial shuriken, but Steppenwolf’s armor resisted the cut more than Yota expected.
• Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Superman, and Yota attacked Steppenwolf together, forcing him to focus on Yota’s potentially lethal spatial abilities.
• Parademons descended and overwhelmed the battlefield with their numbers, while Kryptonite-carrying Parademons and Steppenwolf drove Superman into a desperate retreat.

Batman and Flash located the underground Boom Tube as Parademons poured out beneath Metropolis, and Yota left Steppenwolf’s battlefield to stop them. Yota’s Planetary Devastation exposed vast underground caverns and Parademon factories, revealing that missing homeless people had been turned into Parademons.

• Batman and Flash found the approximate location of the Boom Tube and saw Parademons surge from underground.

Yota’s Planetary Devastation devastated the Parademon army, but Superman was badly injured by an Omega Effect attack and the heroes’ defenses began to fail. As Wonder Woman and Aquaman struggled against Steppenwolf, Yota used the Twin Springs of Drowning on himself to gain a powerful advantage.

• Yota used Planetary Devastation to wipe out large numbers of Parademons, then dodged two red beams that came through a Boom Tube and struck Superman.
• Yota rescued Superman from nearby Parademons, but the lingering Omega Effect left Superman unable to fight.
• High-ranking Parademons arrived with Boom Tubes as the heroes’ defensive line neared collapse, with Superman carried away by Flash and Batman unable to contribute much.
• Steppenwolf focused his attacks on Aquaman, while Wonder Woman and Yota struggled to hold the battlefield against the Parademons.
• Yota dropped a meteor on Parademons and their Mother Boxes, then sprayed himself with water from the Twin Springs of Drowning.

Yota and his allies defeated Steppenwolf and drove back the Parademons, though the battle left Metropolis in ruins. Afterward, the duplicated Wonder Woman and Aquaman merged back into one each, and Yota warned that Darkseid might come to Earth.

• Two Yotas appeared, and one fought Steppenwolf while the other attacked the Parademons and duplicated Wonder Woman and Aquaman with a water gun.
• The duplicated Wonder Women bound Steppenwolf with their lassos while the duplicated Aquamen restrained him, allowing Yota to pierce his chest with the Kamui Shuriken and kill him.
• Yota burned out his Eight Gates power and turned to ash, but the Eight-Headed Serpent Fruit restored his body; he urged everyone to destroy the Parademons and cut off the Mother Box's Boom Tube before Darkseid could arrive.
• Yota and the others devastated the Parademons with powerful attacks, and the surviving invaders retreated through the Boom Tube along with Cyborg, leaving Metropolis reduced to a crater.
• Yota used hot water to merge the two Aquamen, and one Wonder Woman used heated water to merge the two Dianas back into one.

After the Battle of Metropolis, Yota traded resources with Batman, helped resolve Arthur’s problem with the Twin Springs of Drowning, and gained the Amazonians’ trust to take the remaining Mother Boxes to other worlds. He gave Diana a Chakra Seed and, having secured Superman’s bloodline and the Mother Boxes, decided to leave the DC World while Darkseid remained a threat.

• Yota assessed the Promethium, Nth Metal, and divine metal he had obtained, then traded springs water with Batman for his limited supply of metals.
• Arthur asked Yota to remove the Twin Springs of Drowning’s effects, and Yota used the Spring of Drowned Man to address his problem.
• After Cyborg took one Mother Box and the remaining boxes weakened, Yota proposed taking them to parallel worlds; Diana and the Amazonians agreed because they trusted him after he killed Steppenwolf.
• Yota gave Diana a Chakra Seed, which he believed could let her and eventually the Amazonians develop great power over time.
• Yota decided he had no reason to remain in the DC World, though he expected Darkseid to retaliate for Steppenwolf’s death.

Yota arrived in a Marvel world that combined characters and settings from several Marvel franchises, and considered its dangers and technology. After a mutant tried to rob him, Yota shocked him and learned his transformation ability was only a scam.

• Yota identified his new world as Marvel after finding S.H.I.E.L.D., Stark Industries, the Baxter Building, and other familiar places.
• Yota considered seeking Vibranium, Adamantium, Infinity Stones, and advanced technology from the world’s leading scientists.

• Yota shocked the mutant, who collapsed despite claiming he could not control himself when enraged.
• The mutant admitted that he used his appearance-changing ability to frighten people into giving him money and that it granted him no extra strength.
