• Shigaraki confronted Uraraka Shige again over keeping Stain alive, while Uraraka Shige worried that their disagreement could damage his relationship with Shigaraki and Kurogiri.
• Giran entered the hideout and hinted that people had been talking about Shigaraki preparing something big.

As the League of Villains prepared to attack U.A.’s forest training camp, Shigaraki chose Bakugo as a hostage, hoping to turn him against All Might despite Uraraka Shige’s warnings. Uraraka Shige traveled with the League to the camp’s location, where seven people had gathered by the next evening.

• Several new members joined the League of Villains after Stain’s influence, including Toga, Dabi, Big Sis Mag, and Twice.
• Shigaraki planned to attack the U.A. students and chose Bakugo as a hostage, believing Bakugo might join the villains and help ambush All Might.

Uraraka Shige arrived at the cliff and joined the League of Villains as Dabi gathered a group of experienced fighters for an attack on the forest buildings. As the villains waited for all twelve members, Muscular questioned who Uraraka Shige was.

• A cloaked villain demanded to start, but Dabi insisted they wait until all twelve were present and said they needed experienced elites.
• Uraraka Shige asked Dabi about the plan, but Muscular instead turned toward him and asked who he was.

The League of Villains attacked the forest during the students’ test of courage, with events mostly following the original course despite Uraraka Shige’s presence. Shige separated Toga from Ochaco and confronted his sister, leaving their fight about to begin.

• The villains split up to attack, while Dabi and Twice started a fire and sent a copy to scout the heroes’ building.
• Mustard’s poisonous gas and Dabi’s flames spread through the forest, alerting the heroes and students; Midoriya went after Kota and encountered Muscular.

• Shige charged Ochaco with his wooden sword, forcing Asui to retreat and striking away her probing tongue.
• Shige invited Ochaco to fight while privately anticipating a test of how much his dear sister had improved.

• Uraraka Shige taunted Ochaco for fighting recklessly and failing to use her surroundings.

• Uraraka Shige tripped Ochaco with a stone, and she fell with a cramp in her foot as he taunted her.

Uraraka Shige and Toga withdrew after the Vanguard Action Squad secured Bakugo, while Ochaco and Asui pursued them toward the test-of-courage entrance. The chase converged with Midoriya and the others as they followed Atsuhiro Sako.

• Atsuhiro Sako announced over the communicator that the target had been secured and ordered the Vanguard Action Squad to reach the retrieval point within five minutes.

• Midoriya and the others caught up while chasing Atsuhiro Sako and saw Ochaco and Asui running toward the test-of-courage entrance.

Uraraka Shige, Toga, Dabi, and Twice gathered at the pickup point, where Toga revealed she had collected only one person’s blood. Midoriya, Mezo, Shoto Todoroki, and Atsuhiro Sako crashed into the clearing, and Dabi attacked the students with blue flames while Uraraka Shige considered how Dabi’s Quirk worked.

• Uraraka Shige noticed that only four members had arrived at the pickup point, and Dabi asked Toga how much blood she had obtained.

• Twice criticized Uraraka Shige for stealing a girl’s opponent, while Dabi held back from responding.
• Midoriya, Mezo, Shoto Todoroki, and Atsuhiro Sako crashed into the clearing, and Dabi warned Atsuhiro to move.
• Atsuhiro compressed himself into a bead at the bottom of the crater, and Dabi swept blue flames over Midoriya and Mezo while Shoto dodged.
• Uraraka Shige watched Dabi’s flames and wondered whether Dabi’s arm movements helped control his Quirk.

Toga and Twice fought Midoriya, Mezo, and Shoto Todoroki while Dabi and Uraraka Shige watched. After Atsuhiro Sako returned from his bead form, Uraraka Shige saw through his apparent search for Bakugo and called out his trick.

• Twice distracted Shoto Todoroki with evasive moves and taunts as Todoroki attacked him with ice.
• Toga targeted Midoriya, tackled him, and raised a knife, but Mezo kicked her away before she could strike.

• Atsuhiro Sako returned to human form and approached Dabi and Uraraka Shige, prompting Dabi to ask where Bakugo was.
• Atsuhiro Sako searched his pocket while steering the fighters' attention, but Uraraka Shige identified the act as a magician's trick and challenged his choice of hiding place.

Atsuhiro Sako nearly escaped with the compressed marbles, but Yuga Aoyama’s attack gave the villains a chance to recover them. The League of Villains brought back Katsuki Bakugo and Fumikage Tokoyami, then decided to wait three days before trying to recruit them.

• Yuga Aoyama fired his laser at Atsuhiro Sako, breaking his mask and making him spit out the two compressed marbles.
• Uraraka Shige used gravity to pull the marbles away from Mezo and Shoto Todoroki and recovered them for the villains.
• Uraraka Shige and the others returned to the bar hideout, where Shigaraki asked whether they had recovered the target.
• Atsuhiro Sako released the marbles, revealing Katsuki Bakugo and Fumikage Tokoyami, and explained that he had brought Tokoyami as an unexpected bonus.
• Shigaraki ordered Kurogiri and Compress to keep the two students asleep and wait three days before trying to recruit them.
• Uraraka Shige stepped through a portal, and three days passed.

Shigaraki tried to recruit Bakugo and Tokoyami by presenting the League of Villains’ cause as a fight over heroism and justice. Dabi and Twice clashed over Shigaraki’s order to free the captives, and Twice reluctantly moved to obey while avoiding taking sides.

• Shigaraki turned off the report about U.A. High School’s apology press conference and tried to persuade the bound Bakugo and Tokoyami to join the League of Villains.
• Spinner repeated Stain’s ideas about heroes, and Shigaraki framed the League’s fight as a question about heroes, justice, and society.

• Shigaraki insisted the captives should be treated as equals, then challenged Bakugo about whether he could win by making a scene.
• Dabi ordered Twice to free the captives; Twice verbally refused but walked over to undo their restraints while signaling that he did not want to take sides.

Uraraka Shige stopped Shigaraki from attacking Bakugo and considered how the coming battle could free his faction from AFO’s control. A Pizza-La delivery distracted the League of Villains just before All Might and Kamui Woods burst into the hideout.

• Bakugo blasted the severed hand off Shigaraki’s face, enraging Shigaraki and prompting him to attack.
• Uraraka Shige weakened the floor beneath Shigaraki, letting Kurogiri stop the attack before Shigaraki could reach Bakugo.
• Uraraka Shige imagined using the coming battle to defeat AFO and secure freedom for himself and his faction.
• A Pizza-La delivery arrived at the hideout, and Spinner moved toward the door.
• All Might blasted through the wall, and Kamui Woods followed by activating his lacquered chain prison.

Uraraka Shige and the others were teleported to AFO’s Nomu factory, where All Might arrived and began fighting AFO. As the battle intensified and Uraraka Shige doubted his plan, several groups converged on the factory.

• AFO’s Nomu overwhelmed the police officers and heroes, and Uraraka Shige and the others were teleported to the Nomu factory.
• Shigaraki knelt before AFO, who rebuked him for failing again.
• All Might arrived and attacked AFO, but AFO countered with a combination of Quirks and blasted him through several buildings.
• Uraraka Shige watched AFO activate Kurogiri’s Quirk and worried that his plan might fail.
• All Might charged back toward AFO as people emerged from the ruins, a swordsman approached, reporters and onlookers breached the police cordon, and three helicopters carrying elderly people flew toward the scene.

Bakugo and Tokoyami were surrounded by Uraraka Shige and the League of Villains, while All Might struggled against AFO and could not reach them. As their Quirks’ incompatibility left them with few options, Bakugo kept searching for a way out and proposed a compromise.

• Uraraka Shige and the other villains pressured Bakugo and Tokoyami, who dodged and blocked their attacks while Uraraka Shige held back and used a wooden sword.
• All Might repeatedly tried to break away from AFO to rescue Bakugo and Tokoyami, but AFO pinned him down and threw him through a building, adding to his injuries.
• Bakugo and Tokoyami were gradually forced back to back, where Bakugo’s Explosion threatened to weaken Tokoyami’s light-sensitive Dark Shadow.
• The chapter explained that Tokoyami could not safely unleash Dark Shadow because he might lose control and attack Bakugo, while Bakugo could not sustain large explosions for long.
• Bakugo stayed focused on finding a solution and proposed a compromise.

Bakugo and Tokoyami were surrounded by Toga and the others, and Tokoyami mistakenly believed Bakugo wanted them to alternate their Quirks because they could not coordinate them directly. As the enemies closed in, Bakugo and Tokoyami repeatedly switched positions and took turns holding them off, leaving the fight at a temporary stalemate.

• Bakugo asked Tokoyami to back him up with his Quirk, and Tokoyami interpreted the request as a plan to alternate their attacks despite their incompatible Quirks.
• Toga and the others gradually tightened their circle around Bakugo and Tokoyami while Uraraka Shige slowed the approach to buy time.
• When the enemies launched a coordinated charge, Bakugo blasted gravel beneath Toga and used explosions to evade and repel attackers.
• Tokoyami summoned his shadow to hold off enemies as Bakugo moved around him, calling out warnings and telling him when to switch.
• Bakugo and Tokoyami kept alternating their positions and Quirks, temporarily holding the enemies at bay while Uraraka Shige and the others withheld their full strength.

Bakugo and Tokoyami struggled to hold off the League of Villains as their Quirks and stamina began to fail, until three figures arrived on an iceberg and helped them escape by hang glider. All Might stopped AFO from interfering, while Uraraka Shige noticed familiar figures emerging from a nearby gully.

• Bakugo and Tokoyami repeatedly used their Quirks to repel the League of Villains, exhausting themselves and risking losing their ability to fight.
• A massive iceberg burst through a surviving wall, carrying three figures who called out to Bakugo and Tokoyami.
• Bakugo used powerful explosions to launch himself and Tokoyami toward the figures, who caught them and opened a hang glider.
• AFO tried to stop the escape, but All Might punched him and sent him flying.
• Uraraka Shige stopped preparing to use his Quirk when several familiar figures appeared from a nearby gully.

Uraraka Shige used his Quirk to crush Shigaraki into the ground while All Might fought AFO, and the League of Villains reacted to the sudden attack. As Shigaraki’s distress mounted, the soil beneath him began to crack and crumble, and Uraraka Shige’s eyes shone with an unfamiliar light.

• Midoriya and the others rescued Bakugo and Tokoyami as figures emerged from the dust.
• Uraraka Shige redirected his gravity Quirk onto Shigaraki, pinning him down and breaking his teeth before he could identify the attacker.
• Twice, Toga, Big Sis Mag, and Spinner reacted to Shigaraki’s condition, while Dabi and Atsuhiro Sako watched quietly.
• AFO noticed the attack and tried to target Uraraka Shige, but All Might struck him and sent him crashing into rubble.
• Shigaraki struggled with nausea and suffocation as memories flashed through his mind, while the soil beneath him cracked and crumbled.
• Uraraka Shige raised his head with an unfamiliar light in his eyes as the ground under Shigaraki disintegrated.

Uraraka Shige held Shigaraki down with gravity and warned the League of Villains that their destructive cause opposed Stain’s beliefs. As Shige prepared to strike Shigaraki with a wooden sword, he waited for Stain and other allies to arrive and help confront the League and AFO.

• Uraraka Shige recognized that Shigaraki’s Decay had returned and explained that gravity could not be decayed because it had no physical form.
• Uraraka Shige told Toga, Spinner, and Big Sis Mag that Stain opposed the League of Villains’ destructive purpose and asked them to guard Kurogiri’s portal.
• Uraraka Shige relied on his words to make the League members hesitate while he waited for Stain and the other helpers to arrive.
• Uraraka Shige saw that Gu Yu and the others had arrived, then declared his intention to defeat Shigaraki and help All Might face AFO.
• Uraraka Shige threw his wooden sword into the air and sent it plunging toward the back of Shigaraki’s neck.
