Uraraka Shige's 'Battle of Kamino'?

The phrase "We meet again" genuinely puzzled All Might.

For All Might, the child he saved years ago was just one of the many people he had saved.

During his first battle with 'AFO', he didn't even notice Uraraka Shige's presence... Perhaps he did see her, but only for a fleeting glance; how could he possibly remember her clearly?

Therefore, when Uraraka Shige, All Might, who had long forgotten these events, naturally wondered when he had seen him before.

However, All Might didn't leave All Uraraka Shige puzzled for long.

Since All Might didn't hide his doubts, he easily realized that All Might didn't actually remember him, and quickly offered an explanation for his statement.

"When I was little, you saved my life once... Ever since then, I've always wanted to repay your kindness... I've done a lot for it... Even when you fought that guy last time, I was on the periphery of the battlefield, assisting from the sidelines... In the end, I watched you drag your heavily wounded body to chase after him... That battle really left a deep impression on me."

Stain and his team rushed to the vicinity of the ruins where 'AFO' had crashed, both to investigate the situation and to press their advantage.

Uraraka Shige, however, did not join them. Instead, she stayed behind and talked to All Might, which in a sense delayed All Might...

"Back then, I was so weak. Forget about participating in your battles; even watching from afar was extremely difficult... I endured countless dangers and expended countless efforts, only to find myself unable to accomplish anything. Almost all my hard work was in vain..."

"It was that battle between you and 'AFO' that made me realize something. If I don't have enough power, then doing anything I want will become extremely difficult... let alone repaying your life-saving grace..."

At this point, Uraraka Shige suddenly fell silent for a moment, a self-deprecating smile appearing on his face.

"After that, I felt disheartened, and then I made some precautions for my family in case of a relapse, so I gave up hiding and began to face my 'judgment'... The final result was that I was imprisoned in a place called a 'Discipline Prison'."

"That place... wasn't filthy at all. Everything was basically out in the open. You might be targeted, but it was all within the 'rules'... Most importantly, as long as you stayed calm, you could make the right judgments. As long as you could judge, you could find the most suitable way to survive... Thanks to this, I had the time to fully improve my strength... for several years... and I made a group of 'friends,' and we came together to form a real 'group'... instead of that disgusting... 'organization' like the 'League of Villains' that I was forced to join by 'AFO's' family as leverage."

"Call..."

After Uraraka Shige suddenly let out a long sigh and then stopped saying these useless and nonsensical things that were more like sighs.

"In short... within the 'League of Villains,' I was fed up with the constant need to hide and pretend, fed up with plotting behind the scenes with my real 'partners' while infiltrating the 'enemy's lair' and feigning compliance... and even more fed up with my family's lives being constantly threatened... I finally got this opportunity, and I absolutely won't let it slip by; I must 'eliminate them completely'!"

Stain and his team have begun to engage 'AFO' again. With Kurasu Rikizo as the main attacker and the others assisting from the side, their fighting style of surrounding and annihilating 'AFO' has temporarily kept 'AFO' in place.

After saying this, Uraraka Shige also started walking towards the ruins. All Might hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to stop him, but then stopped in his tracks because of Uraraka Shige's next words.

"Don't come any closer... Although that guy should be your opponent, during that battle, out of gratitude for your kindness, I kept an eye on your condition, even though you were in the very center of the battlefield... Back then, you suffered quite serious injuries, perhaps even fatal ones, right?"

"Although I don't know why news of this incident didn't spread, or how many people actually discovered your serious injuries... I think that chasing after that guy with such severe injuries, you probably wouldn't have received timely medical attention..."

"Adding to what that guy said before, and comparing you to the person I remember fighting that guy last time, and the differences between you now... you wouldn't have any lingering effects, would you?"

"Although I don't know why no one outside knows about this, I suppose you wouldn't want it to be exposed... If that's the case, then you'll need to be extra careful during battle... For now, is there anyone who can replace the 'Symbol of Justice' in people's hearts..."

Hearing Uraraka Shige's words, All Might was undoubtedly extremely surprised.

This surprise stemmed from both the 'identity' (the one being saved) that Uraraka Shige mentioned, and an accurate (not really) prediction of her current state.

But more than anything, as Uraraka Shige said, there was panic and resistance arising from the thought of what would happen if the 'Symbol of Justice' collapsed from people's hearts.

But...

"Young 'enemy'! I don't know if you deduced these things yourself based on information, or if someone told you. Perhaps you're right, people do need a 'Symbol of Justice'!"

"But!"

"But 'enemy' boy! The 'Symbol of Justice' that people need is definitely not someone who hesitates because of various concerns when someone is about to be harmed or someone needs to be saved! He is definitely not someone who backs down for any reason when he is needed!"

Even if it's a heinous "enemy," I will still lend a helping hand when necessary, rather than stand by and watch this "enemy" continue to harm the innocent or have their lives taken!

"Because the 'enemies' of evil need to be judged by law! Their final fate needs to be determined by law! They shouldn't be allowed to go unpunished or be judged by others based on their own selfish desires!"

After a brief hesitation, All Might finally stepped forward and made a decision consistent with his character.

Upon hearing All Uraraka Shige's words, All Might fell silent again, then silently clicked his tongue in admiration.

"... Alright, but even so, for the safety of my family, I will not let him go... All Might! I will definitely repay your kindness after this!"
