Uraraka Shige and the others survived the Nomu’s opening attacks, but sixteen more Nomu surrounded them in the forest. Sakinagi Shushin suspected the attackers were the same Nomu that had assaulted U.A. High School, while the group remained unaware that more powerful Nomu might be waiting deeper in the forest.

• Gu Yu woke and shielded Sakinagi Shushin from a Nomu, suffering severe injuries to his hands and a graze to his chest.

• Sakinagi Shushin explained that the Nomu were likely connected to the attack on U.A. High School and the recent requests from major factions.
• The group remained surrounded by sixteen Nomu, unaware that stronger Nomu might attack if they pressed farther into the forest.

Uraraka Shige, Stain, Spinner, Sakinagi Shushin, and Gu Yu fought the sixteen Nomu after splitting them up, but Gu Yu’s untreated hand injuries left him in danger. The group decided to flee the forest with Gu Yu rather than risk pushing deeper toward stronger Nomu.

• Uraraka Shige used his Quirk to twist a Nomu’s neck, then killed the grotesque creature it became by pinning its head with a branch.

• Uraraka Shige, Spinner, Stain, and Sakinagi Shushin fled through the forest with the badly injured Gu Yu.

• Uraraka Shige felt his head split with pain as a familiar yet strange voice echoed in his mind.

• Uraraka Shige noticed the Nomu had escaped and apologized to Sakinagi Shushin.

Uraraka Shige and Sakinagi Shushin traveled to the Union’s ruined base to question captured AFO remnants and locate the enemy’s remaining forces. After Shushin asked a Union member where the prisoners were, the man kicked at him, and Shushin’s Quirk began to change the man’s thoughts.

• Sakinagi Shushin noticed that Uraraka Shige seemed different since their encounter with the Nomu, especially because of his dead-fish eyes.
• Uraraka Shige explained that his awakened Quirk had greatly increased its range, control, and power, though using it now drained his stamina faster.

• Uraraka Shige restrained a Union member with gravity and asked where the captured AFO remnants were.
• Sakinagi Shushin asked the restrained man the same question, blocked his kick, and began influencing his thoughts with his Quirk.

Uraraka Shige and Sakinagi found the Union’s underground cells and learned that the AFO remnant captives had caused catastrophic losses because they could barely control their Quirks. One captive begged for rescue and offered information, so Uraraka Shige chose to question him first.

• Uraraka Shige and Sakinagi reached the Union’s holding site, where a member recognized them and said Metropolitan Police Department officers had just investigated the captives.
• After the officers left, the Union member let Uraraka Shige and Sakinagi enter and led them underground to the cells.
• Uraraka Shige saw the captives shackled and blindfolded, then asked why they were restrained so heavily.
• The Union member explained that the captives’ poorly controlled Quirks had made them fight recklessly and kill about twenty percent of the Union’s people.
• One captive begged Uraraka Shige to save him and offered to tell him everything, so Uraraka Shige decided to begin with that man.

Uraraka Shige and Sakinagi learned that the attackers had been given unstable Quirks and proposed involving the Shie Hassaikai in the fight against AFO's remnants. After visiting Gu Yu's family, they went to the Shie Hassaikai headquarters, where Uraraka Shige decided to force his way in after they were refused entry.

• Uraraka Shige and Sakinagi interrogated the prisoners and learned how they had been abducted, given Quirks, trained, and used as expendable attackers against the "Union."

• Uraraka Shige and Sakinagi apologized to Gu Yu's family, then visited the Shie Hassaikai headquarters to discuss cooperation.
• The Shie Hassaikai members refused them entry, so Uraraka Shige decided to fight his way inside.

Uraraka Shige and Sakinagi Shushin forced their way into the Shie Hassaikai headquarters and offered Chisaki Kai a partnership with the League. After Uraraka Shige easily blocked Chisaki Kai and Katsukame Rikiya's attacks, he left the offer for Chisaki Kai to consider.

• Uraraka Shige and Sakinagi Shushin passed through the Shie Hassaikai headquarters, where Uraraka Shige pinned several unfamiliar members to the wall with gravity.
