We will not discuss the concept of the total Gravity of a six-ton object here.

What would be the effect or result if all the Gravity of a six-ton object were applied to a single person?

Before today, Uraraka Shige also didn't know.

However, now that we have examples of Shigaraki and Kurogiri, Uraraka Shige also knows.

In fact, the concept of Gravity has been described in many works in the world of Uraraka Shige life.

Whether it's the Gravity gun in a certain black ball versus aliens, the admiral in a certain ocean full of water, or many other works that are relatively less well-known.

Descriptions of Gravity often include scenes of people being crushed by Gravity from above.

A similar scene occurred even when Uraraka Shige used his 'Quirk' on Shigaraki.

In reality, this is just a visual description.

Gravity is the force exerted on an object due to its attraction to the Earth.

It should essentially be considered a part of universal gravitation.

Moreover, after coming into this world and truly possessing such a 'Quirk', Uraraka Shige realized that when an object is affected by Gravity, the force exerted by Gravity on the object is less a force that compresses it from above, and more a force that originates from below and is applied to the object, continuously pulling it downwards.

At the same time, the object itself will also generate a force of the same nature, pulling itself downwards as well.

The most interesting point is if Uraraka Shige observes things from the perspective that comes with his own 'Quirk'.

From this perspective, the part of Gravity acting on an object, originating from the Earth, is actually regular and extremely uniform.

The reason why objects experience different Gravity due to their different masses is that, apart from the portion originating from the Earth, the force generated by the object itself that pulls it towards the Earth varies depending on its Gravity. This variation is positive; the higher the mass, the greater the force.

Judging from this point alone, it is not difficult to see that the Gravity that Uraraka Shige can manipulate is not really just 'Gravity', but also includes the part that the object itself exerts on the earth, pulling itself toward the earth.

Unfortunately, Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk' determined his limits, which meant he could only manipulate 'Gravity' and that part of the force, and that he would never have the opportunity to manipulate true, all of universal gravitation.

Although Uraraka Shige can change the direction or flow of Gravity through his 'Quirk', this is still Gravity and will not cause the object to be affected by a new downward Gravity.

In Uraraka Shige's perception, the Gravity he could manipulate was essentially a 'line,' but its nature was more like flowing water, though ultimately it differed from real water in many ways...

At least real water is made of water, while the Gravity he can manipulate is not made of any currently known substance.

Real water flow has a tangible form and substance, but the Gravity he can manipulate is invisible and intangible, and can only be observed indirectly through the influence of Gravity on its surroundings.

Knowing all this, the upper limit of Gravity that Uraraka Shige can currently manipulate is the total Gravity borne by a six-ton object. In reality, it is only the total Gravity borne by this six-ton object, consisting of the pulling force exerted by the Earth on this six-ton object and the force originating from the six-ton object itself pulling itself towards the Earth.

In addition, the forces exerted on the six-ton object by the Gravity of the air and dust particles surrounding it, and the forces that come into impact with and compress the object, are beyond the control of Uraraka Shige.

Therefore, the Gravity exerted on 'AFO' by Uraraka Shige is actually only the force generated by the six-ton object pulling itself towards the Earth, and the force exerted by the Earth on the six-ton object.

Even so, this was enough to stop 'AFO' from trying to escape by flying, and instead it was 'forced' to 'land' on the ground by Gravity.

After all, 'AFO's' physical condition at this time was not ideal, and it was far from being in its best condition.

Furthermore, the Gravity that Uraraka Shige to 'AFO' does not include the Gravity that 'AFO' itself has always been subjected to.

In other words, the current 'AFO' is experiencing the same Gravity that it already bears all the time and has even become accustomed to.

In addition, there was an extra portion, which Uraraka Shige applied to him through his 'Quirk', equivalent to the total Gravity that a six-ton object would experience.

He was subjected to this kind of Gravity, twofold.

Boom...

The 'AFO' landed on the ground with a loud thud, creating a crater several meters around the spot where it stepped.

Another cloud of dust rose up.

"We're going to take care of you here. So don't even think about running! 'AFO'!"

Uraraka Shige looked at 'AFO', which had landed on the ground and seemed to be suppressed, and spoke haltingly, but each word was pronounced clearly and forcefully.

He focused all his energy on manipulating Gravity, using Gravity to suppress the resistance generated by 'AFO'. As a result, he didn't have the extra energy to control his nosebleed, and could only let the blood flow from his nostrils, soaking the bandages and eventually turning the bandages below his eyes into a patch of red.

On the contrary, 'AFO', who was being suppressed by him, still seemed to have some energy left. Although he seemed to be struggling a bit, he still spoke fluently and without interruption.

"Kid... I remember your name is Uraraka Shige. I didn't expect you to grow so fast... I remember last time when I fought All Might, you could only hide on the very edge of the battlefield and observe, but now you can even suppress me for a short time... You really have an excellent 'Quirk' and great potential. Your growth rate really surprises me."

"... And besides that, you've been in the League of Villains for so long, yet you've never shown your power. Even I was fooled by your disguise, which led to the deaths of Hanging and Kurogiri because of my carelessness... You know how to be patient and how to lie low. Once you find an opportunity, you will launch a deadly attack, and you have immense potential... This makes me feel threatened."

"... So originally I planned to leave first, but now I've changed my mind. I've decided to kill you here first, using the 'Quirk' I deliberately prepared for All Might, and then leave to wait for an opportunity to make a comeback."
