Chapter Summaries

Two months after escaping the correctional prison, Uraraka Shige visited U.A. High School and reflected on the fight that had secured his escape. He returned to the League of Villains’ base, where he continued trying to get along with Shigaraki despite the group’s lonely, uncertain beginnings.

• Uraraka Shige stood outside U.A. High School and wondered how his sister in this life was doing before the upcoming Hero Course entrance exam.

• Uraraka Shige reflected that the League had only three members—himself, Kurogiri, and Shigaraki—and that he was trying to get along with Shigaraki.

AFO summoned Shigaraki, Kurogiri, and Uraraka Shige to a quarry, where he handed Shigaraki a group of recruited villains and a Nomu intended to test its strength against All Might. Shigaraki was left in charge of roughly two hundred villains as AFO challenged him to prove his leadership.

After learning that All Might would teach at U.A. High School, Shigaraki planned to use the news as an opportunity to target the school and ordered Uraraka Shige to prove his usefulness. They reached the school, where Shigaraki expected Uraraka Shige to breach the barrier, but Uraraka Shige said his Quirk was unsuited to breaking it.

• Uraraka Shige watched news of All Might joining U.A. High School and anticipated the coming USJ invasion.

• Kurogiri opened a portal to a hotel overlooking U.A. High School, and Shigaraki and Uraraka Shige headed for the main gate.
• When they found reporters gathered outside the school barrier, Shigaraki looked to Uraraka Shige to break it, but Uraraka Shige said his Quirk was not suited to destroying it.

Shigaraki led Uraraka Shige and a group of reporters through U.A. High School’s destroyed gate, then sent Uraraka Shige to search for All Might’s class schedule. As Shigaraki’s insults mounted, Uraraka Shige silently shaped a wooden wakizashi and considered getting a sword.

• Shigaraki threatened Uraraka Shige for failing to prove his worth, and Uraraka Shige concealed his resentment while following him.

The League of Villains began its invasion of the USJ, sending Shigaraki, Uraraka Shige, and nearly two hundred recruits through Kurogiri’s portals. With All Might absent, Uraraka Shige focused on whether his sister Ochaco Uraraka would be harmed.

• Kurogiri reminded Shigaraki that it was time, and Shigaraki ordered the recruits to begin their planned attack.
• The recruits used their Quirks to disable the USJ’s sensors and communications equipment.
• Kurogiri opened portals to the USJ, and Shigaraki led the invasion as the villains poured into the facility.
• A Nomu arrived, and Kurogiri reported that All Might was expected but had not appeared.
• Shigaraki wondered whether killing the students would be enough, while Uraraka Shige watched the students and worried about Ochaco Uraraka.

Uraraka Shige worried that his influence on Ochaco might put her in danger, while Shigaraki studied Eraser Head's fighting style. When Shige asked Kurogiri to take him to the evacuation platform, Shigaraki ordered Kurogiri to bring him and the Nomu too, but Eraser Head erased Kurogiri's portal, sending the invasion down a different path.

• Uraraka Shige lifted pebbles with gravity and hurled them at Power Loader and the others, beginning the fight.

Uraraka Shige’s attack showed Power Loader that he was a serious threat, so Power Loader tricked him into escaping underground with Momo Yaoyorozu, Kyoka Jiro, and Denki Kaminari. Uraraka Shige realized he had been outmaneuvered and headed for the Flood Zone to confront him there.

• Uraraka Shige’s accelerated rubble struck Power Loader’s boulder hard enough to embed itself and crack the rock.
• Power Loader judged Uraraka Shige to be a dangerous opponent and decided to prioritize rescuing the three students.

• Uraraka Shige told the villains to prepare their own underwater attacks while he kept watch over the students.
• Several whirlpools swept up the villains surrounding the boat, and Uraraka Shige identified the arriving hero as Power Loader.

Uraraka Shige used gravity manipulation to incapacitate Midoriya and the other students so they would not interfere with his planned fight against Power Loader. Just as Power Loader charged him, a gunshot rang out from the entrance to USJ.

• Power Loader's traps collapsed under water pressure, creating whirlpools that swept away the enemies and rocked the ship.
• After the water settled, Power Loader climbed aboard the ship while Uraraka Shige waited for a chance to test his strength against him.

Uraraka Shige and Power Loader tested each other’s strength before a distant shooter wounded Uraraka Shige with a bullet.
