Uraraka Shige and Sakinagi met Kurogiri Giran to arrange the purchase of equipment and information, then fought off groups of axe-wielding men who ambushed them. A week later, they returned to collect the custom-made disc, and Giran explained its construction.

• Uraraka Shige and Sakinagi met Kurogiri Giran in a plaza and requested information and specialized equipment.

• A week later, Uraraka Shige and Sakinagi met Giran, who showed them a disc embedded with three thousand removable steel balls.

Sakinagi used his Quirk to warp Giran’s thoughts and interrogated him for information about AFO’s remaining forces and their contacts. After learning that Giran worked with AFO’s remnants as a broker but did not know their whereabouts, Sakinagi and Uraraka Shige killed him to prevent him from revealing what had happened.

• Giran gave Sakinagi full-body soft armor, a handgun, and two magazines as a welcome gift.

• After considering the proposal for several minutes, Yamato agreed to proceed with Sakinagi’s plan.
• Uraraka Shige and Sakinagi obtained information on underground agents from the Union and stayed at the base briefly.

After three months of surveillance produced no clear results, Sakinagi and Uraraka Shige reconsidered whether their targets or methods were wrong. They concluded that AFO's remnants might be hiding among the ordinary villains, thugs, and yakuza groups the agents encountered.

• Sakinagi persuaded the group to verify the suspects' identities before taking action and suggested asking them directly.
• Sakinagi, Uraraka Shige, and the others entered their first suspect's home while the Meta Liberation member waited outside.
• After the suspect shoved him, Sakinagi activated his Quirk and made the man reveal everything he knew, winning the League and Shie Hassaikai members' trust.
• The group learned their first target had no connection to AFO's remnants, so they sought out the other two suspects and gained useful information.

Sakinagi persuaded Uraraka Shige to capture AFO's scattered remnants quietly and gather information rather than attack them all at once. The group caught several members, but they were only the backbone of an organization whose true core remained hidden and whose combat forces were mostly Nomu.

• Sakinagi warned that AFO's remnants had spent over ten years hiding among ordinary people and preparing their plans.
• Uraraka Shige proposed taking the remnants out in one sweeping attack, but Sakinagi argued for secretly capturing them and extracting information with his Quirk.
• Sakinagi countered Uraraka Shige's argument for speed with a saying about advancing steadily, and Uraraka Shige accepted his approach.
• Over the next few months, Uraraka Shige and the others traveled between major cities and captured several remnants of AFO's forces.
• The group discovered that their captives knew little about AFO's organization, while its Doctor and other core members stayed deeply concealed and its remaining combat forces were mostly Nomu.

• Uraraka Shige and his four companions followed a sudden lead to a commercial building, despite Sakinagi’s suspicions and warnings.

Uraraka Shige and the other trapped fighters struggled against swarms of Nomu in the confined corridor, while Sakinagi and Qu Zhi’s probing outside the crystal ball neared its end. Uraraka Shige found a way to lift some of the Nomu, but the Eight Bullets member remained trapped beneath them.

• Uraraka Shige and the others found themselves trapped at the corridor’s end behind an invisible barrier while dozens of Nomu approached.
• Uraraka Shige struck the barrier with a Gravity Explosion, adding cracks to the crystal ball and making it shake.

Uraraka Shige used his Quirk to attack the crystal ball holding him and three others, eventually shattering it and freeing them. They were swept out alongside many Nomu, who remained unusually small.

• The crystal ball shifted violently, and Shige kept his companions afloat while the Nomu were thrown off balance.
• Shige told the others that the group was trapped inside something glass-like and that his attacks might break it.
• He struck the crystal ball’s inner wall repeatedly, planting gravity nodes before detonating them in a powerful chain of explosions.

• More than half the Nomu were swept out with them, and the creatures remained smaller than their normal size.

• The Nomu on the floor freed themselves from their predicaments.

• Uraraka Shige, exhausted and surrounded, faced a new crisis as the Nomu closed in.

• The young man introduced himself as Mr. Cancer, a part-time killer, and asked Uraraka Shige if he wanted a ride.
