Hunting target

In the original work...

Eraser Head only had a brief exchange with Shigaraki after clearing out most of the 'small fry' in the arena, and then he was pinned to the ground by the 'Nomu' and subjected to various acts of violence.

However, now, at a time much earlier than in the original story, 'Eraser·Head' is receiving this treatment.

"How is it, Eraser Head?"

Shigaraki then knelt down in front of Eraser Head, who was being pinned to the ground by the Nomu. His pupils contracted slightly with overwhelming joy, and his eyelids curved into a gentle arc...

If this were applied to some innocent young girls, it might be described as having "eyes narrowed like a crescent moon" or "eyes curved into a beautiful crescent moon."

However, given Shigaraki's pupil color and the bloodshot eyes... describing it like that would be incredibly jarring.

Not to mention the wrinkles on Shigaraki's eyelids that make his skin look like dead skin... emm (episode 11, 13 minutes 28 seconds)

Perhaps the word 'annoying' would be a more appropriate way to describe it?

Shigaraki, with that annoying smile on his face, said to 'Eraser Head':

"Even if your ability to erase other people's 'Quirk' is impressive, it's still far too weak in the face Quirk absolute power... Look at your current miserable state, what else can you do?"

Shigaraki glanced at the staircase platform. The situation on the platform was no longer clear to them, but the black smoke caused by the Black Kurogiri's 'Quirk' had gathered together in large quantities, forming a spherical shape. This allowed them to roughly determine that the Kurogiri was currently in control on the platform.

"Protect your students? They're in danger right now, so hurry up and use your 'Quirk' to stop us!"

"Heh... heh... heh..."

Eraser Head, pinned to the ground by the Nomu its cheek pressed down, had no strength to respond. It could only gasp for breath in a hoarse voice due to the excruciating pain caused by its severed arm.

He looks quite disheveled...

This also successfully bored Shigaraki.

So Shigaraki said disdainfully:

"Is that so... You can't even respond to me anymore... Then it seems there's no point in keeping you around."

Then Shigaraki gave orders to Kurogiri and the Nomu again.

"Kurogiri, teleport me there. 'Nomu,' finish him off."

The Kurogiri, still some distance away and locked in a stalemate with 'Hero' Thirteen' on the tiered platform, after receiving Shigaraki's order through some kind of communicator or 'Quirk', spared some of its energy to open a portal again beside Shigaraki and Uraraka Shige.

Upon receiving Shigaraki's command, the Nomu gripped Eraser Head's cheek with its large hand, squeezing it so hard it made a cracking sound and even slightly deformed. Then, it forcefully lifted Eraser Head's body high, intending to slam it hard onto the ground again.

Standing not far from Shigaraki, Uraraka Shige felt her thoughts nearly freeze due to the rapid unfolding of the scene, with only her growing agitation rising and intensifying...

"What... should I do... attack Shigaraki? Or try to save 'Eraser Head'? But what will be the consequences of doing so? How can I stop them from harming my family in this life? Should I just lay everything out in the open? Then they'll have leverage over me, and they might even expose my current identity to my family..."

... and perhaps mixed in with it a little confusion, as well as a yearning for miracles and a turning point.

Then, in the next moment, a turning point, which could hardly be called a miracle, occurred.

The portal that had once again condensed from black smoke near Shigaraki and Uraraka Shige dissipated once more.

When Eraser Head was lifted up by the Nomu again, he struggled to turn his gaze and activated his Quirk to cancel the teleportation properties contained within the Kurogiri.

As a result, the black smoke that had been manipulated by the Kurogiri's 'Quirk' and 'separated' from its own body disappeared into thin air near Shigaraki and Uraraka Shige, and then returned to the Kurogiri's body.

However, due to the unique nature of the Kurogiri's 'Quirk' and the limitations of 'Eraser·Head's' Quirk ', the Kurogiri only lost its ability to teleport using the black smoke that constitutes its body for a fleeting moment.

However, it must be admitted that even in this state of imminent death, 'Eraser·Head' still activated its 'Quirk', preventing them from harming the students, just as Shigaraki had said before.

Eraser Head did what he should do as a hero. Perhaps it wasn't perfect, but he undoubtedly did his best to fulfill his responsibilities and obligations as a hero.

Even Uraraka Shige, who should have been the 'enemy' at this moment, couldn't help but cheer for him in his heart.

'NICE! Well done!! Eraser Head!!!'

He wasn't the fake 'hero' that Stain described in the original story...

"So cool... so cool~ You really are so handsome~ 'Eraser·Head'!"

Shigaraki's expression turned completely cold. He pulled himself out of that inexplicable gaming frenzy and looked at 'Eraser Head' once again with a gaze full of disgust.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Eraser Head, who had been struggling to use his Quirk to stop Shigaraki and Kurogiri just moments before, had now been slammed to the ground three times by the Nomu, leaving a small crater in the ground.

Eraser Head himself fell into a coma due to the three Heavy Strike.

Shigaraki, having turned his gaze around, noticed this. Realizing that he had been blocked by 'Eraser Head' once again and that his attempt to have a few more words with 'Eraser Head' had been completely futile, Shigaraki spoke up in extreme displeasure.

"Tch... What a mess! After all that fuss, he's already lost consciousness... How annoying! How annoying!"

Shigaraki, seeing the unconscious 'Eraser Head', also lost interest in continuing to entangle and play with these 'appetizers'.

"Well... you're no longer able to stop me, are you? Then you're useless... a mini-boss who can't be used to increase the game's difficulty... might as well just eliminate him."

Shigaraki reached out his hand toward 'Eraser Head'.

This time, Shigaraki plans to use his 'Quirk' to kill this hero himself.

The prelude to the invasion is finally coming to an end. What follows is Shigaraki's massacre of the students and "Thirteen," which will then serve as a prelude to their next target— All Might...

That was originally Shigaraki's opinion.

Then, the next moment.

"Boom!"

A completely different storyline from the original unfolds at this point... (Woof woof~)
