• The figure wailed like Dr. Zōti as footsteps and a shout announced that the criminals had been caught with the evidence.

Dr. Zōti’s plan to secure a fresh child’s organ failed when his briefcase broke, leaving him close to death. The police and heroes confronted the office building faction in the underground garage, while a larger force prepared to attack their headquarters.

After helping Yamato avenge his daughter, Uraraka Shige recruited allies against AFO and sought the Kyoyama Society’s approval. At the dojo of its head, elderly Mitarai, Shige sensed the blade’s supposed spirit just before the test ended, though it was created by Mitarai’s Quirk.

Uraraka Shige earned Kotegawa Hikaru’s recognition by seeing past his Quirk, but failed Shinonome Mitsuse’s test and continued meeting Yamato’s Kyoyama Society connections. After a month and a half, news that All Might had destroyed an AFO-controlled factory signaled the coming battle between them.

• Uraraka Shige and the hero who had taken All Might to the safe zone arrived nearby.

Gran Torino and the other heroes focused on rescuing people while Uraraka Shige froze in fear at the edge of the battlefield. AFO grew bored of prolonging the fight and sent his flesh monster toward the people who had not evacuated, forcing All Might to protect them.
