Chapter Summaries

Uraraka Shige confronted Granny Gray, who offered to reveal his parents’ whereabouts in exchange for cooperation. After Uraraka Shige accepted, Granny Gray said Granny Songju had brought his parents to her apartment, where they were safe.

• Uraraka Shige agreed, and Granny Gray told him his parents were alive, unharmed, and inside Granny Songju’s apartment.
• Granny Gray stayed outside while Uraraka Shige rang the apartment doorbell.

Uraraka Shige reunited with his family and acquaintances, who confronted him with their disappointment over his becoming a villain. He sparred with Momotani Hanawa, decisively defeating her and leaving her questioning whether she could ever become a hero.

• Granny Songju criticized Uraraka Shige for becoming a villain, while his parents were disappointed that he had failed to protect himself and endangered Ochaco.
• Momotani Hanawa challenged Uraraka Shige to a fight so she could see how much he had grown.
• Uraraka Shige agreed to spar with Momotani Hanawa, and the fight ended with him crushing her rope-based tactics.
• Momotani Hanawa envied Uraraka Shige's powerful Quirk and wondered if she should give up on becoming a hero and settle down instead.

Uraraka Shige left his family to deal with AFO's hidden former followers, while Granny Songju arranged for Granny Gray to watch over his parents. After Uraraka Shige reunited with Qu Zhi and the others and agreed they had to eliminate the remaining followers, he learned that Qu Zhi and his younger siblings had disappeared.

• Uraraka Shige left Granny Songju's apartment to confront AFO's former followers and protect his family from future attacks.
• Uraraka Shige's parents decided to leave Granny Songju's apartment, so Granny Songju asked Granny Gray to keep watch over them.
• Uraraka Shige and Momotani Hanawa exchanged ideas about using their Quirks, and both gained new ideas from the discussion.
• Uraraka Shige arrived at the temporary residence he had arranged with Qu Zhi and the others, and they agreed to eliminate AFO's remaining hidden former followers.
• Uraraka Shige learned that Qu Zhi and his younger brothers and sisters had disappeared while visiting their parents.

Uraraka Shige considered ways to find Qu Zhi and deal with AFO’s remaining former followers, then organized the Wandering Protectors to seek help from several factions and the underworld broker Kurogiri Giran. With the group showing signs of division, he remained its most influential member and assigned Gu Yu to accompany Deflagration.

• Uraraka Shige recalled the Meta Liberation Army as a possible lead, while considering Kurogiri Giran, the Terumi Family, Yamato’s Union, and the Kyoyama Society as other sources of help.
• Uraraka Shige proposed trying those options, and the Wandering Protectors agreed to divide the tasks among their members.
• Uraraka Shige took responsibility for seeking help from Qu Zhi’s family, while Heavy Water and Shadow Transformation went to the Kyoyama Society and Yamato’s Union.
• Deflagration claimed the task of finding Kurogiri Giran, so Uraraka Shige assigned Gu Yu to accompany him and shared what little he knew about the broker.
• Deflagration accepted Gu Yu’s company after Gu Yu persuaded him, while Uraraka Shige and the others left Stain aside because they had no way to contact him.

Uraraka Shige returned to his hometown to ask the Terumi Family for help, but the fitness center’s new head coach refused to contact them. Shige realized that the family had stopped investing in him, leaving his path ahead more difficult.

• Uraraka Shige went to a Terumi Family fitness center to find the head coach who had helped him before, but learned that the man had been transferred to a restaurant business in another city.
• Uraraka Shige asked the new head coach to contact the Terumi Family, but the coach rejected his request and would not explain why.
• Uraraka Shige reflected on the protection and support the Terumi Family had given him over the years and recognized that he had not provided them enough in return.
• The Terumi Family had stopped investing in Uraraka Shige after he joined the Wandering Protector, whose philosophy made Terumi Genga’s father lose interest in recruiting him as Genga’s confidant.

Uraraka Shige and his group gathered information, contacted Kurogiri Giran, and decided to travel to the city where the Meta Liberation Army was based. As they prepared to leave, someone attacked them through the windows.

• Uraraka Shige told Gu Yu and Deflagration that the Terumi Family had refused to help, and Deflagration angrily vowed not to seek their aid again.
• Heavy Water and Shadow Transformation returned and reported that the Union could offer no useful information, while the Kyoyama Society had revealed that AFO's former subordinates were under pressure and might have allies among public officials.
• The group used a borrowed phone to contact Kurogiri Giran through his partner organization and secured a verbal agreement to cooperate.
• Uraraka Shige and the others learned which city housed the Meta Liberation Army and decided to go there for information about AFO's former subordinates.
• As the Wandering Protector prepared to leave, sharp objects smashed through the glass and someone attacked them.

A group of attackers fired crossbow bolts through the room’s window, forcing Uraraka Shige, Gu Yu, Deflagration, Shadow Transformation, and Heavy Water to take cover and fight back. The attackers remained outside as the group sought a way to counterattack and learn why they had been targeted.

• Uraraka Shige, Gu Yu, Deflagration, Shadow Transformation, and Heavy Water reacted to bolts smashing through the window and took cover.
• Uraraka Shige’s Quirk, Gu Yu’s table, Shadow Transformation’s Quirk, and Heavy Water’s sofa stopped the bolts, though one grazed Deflagration.
• Shadow Transformation retrieved two hand crossbows and shared one with Heavy Water as Gu Yu distributed recovered bolts.
• Deflagration threw lit lighters outside and used his Quirk to burn the attackers, while Uraraka Shige hurled loose objects at them.
• The group continued exchanging attacks with the people outside and considered how to rout them and discover why they had attacked.

Uraraka Shige and the others debated how to break the siege before heroes and police arrived, but they could not agree on a counterattack plan. The chapter left the Wandering Protectors exposed as a disorganized group whose members struggled to follow Uraraka Shige without Qu Zhi.

• Uraraka Shige and the attackers both realized they had to end the stalemate before heroes and police arrived.
• Uraraka Shige proposed that he, Gu Yu, and Shadow Transformation keep the attackers occupied while Deflagration and Heavy Water sneaked downstairs to attack.
• Deflagration and Heavy Water objected, citing their Quirks, injuries, and the danger of being exposed downstairs.
• Shadow Transformation argued that he should join the downstairs attack because his Quirk might let him capture the attackers' commander.
• Uraraka Shige offered to lead the surprise attack himself, but the others rejected the idea because they relied on his Quirk to defend the second floor.
• The disagreement revealed that the Wandering Protectors lacked unity and depended on the missing Qu Zhi as their true leader.

Uraraka Shige and the others stopped arguing and coordinated their Quirks to escape an attack that trapped them between flames and intruders. Their combined response ignited a devastating fire that destroyed the guesthouse, but one badly burned survivor emerged and denounced them before gravity hurled him into the air.

• The attackers split their forces, keeping up their assault outside while others broke into the room where Uraraka Shige and the others were trapped.
• Uraraka Shige used gravity to divide the flames and create a barrier, while Deflagration understood the plan and activated his Quirk.
• Deflagration amplified the room’s existing flames into a massive blaze that lit up the city and reduced the guesthouse to ruins.
• Heroes and police officers arrived and began searching the wreckage, where a badly burned figure crawled out.
• The figure called Uraraka Shige and the others devils, then a sudden shift in gravity sent rubble and the figure flying into the air.

Uraraka Shige and his companions survived the devastating blast, but the destruction and smell overwhelmed nearby rescuers. They captured the sole surviving attacker, only to be surrounded by heroes and police as Uraraka Shige decided they had to break through.

• Uraraka Shige and the others emerged from the crater and saw the ruins, where the sight and smell of burned bodies caused Deflagration and then many rescuers to vomit.
• The surviving attacker fell from the sky with the rubble, silently fixing his hatred on Deflagration and planning revenge.
• Uraraka Shige shielded the group from the debris and used gravity to slow the attacker's fall, while nearby heroes and police rushed toward them.
• Uraraka Shige's group secured the survivor, but heroes and police surrounded them and accused them of being villains.
• Uraraka Shige stopped Heavy Water from questioning the captive and ordered the group to break through.

Uraraka Shige and his companions faced down the surrounding heroes and police, wary of the danger after Deflagration’s uncontrolled fire had devastated the guesthouse. Uraraka Shige then used his gravity Quirk to incapacitate the heroes, allowing the group to pass.

• Uraraka Shige persuaded Heavy Water and the others to cooperate rather than provoke the heroes and police surrounding them.
• Deflagration’s companions recalled how his fire Quirk depended on favorable conditions and how Uraraka Shige’s gravity barrier had protected them from the blaze.
• The heroes grew cautious as they watched the charcoal remains of the attackers and heard the villains agree to act.
• Uraraka Shige reached out and twisted the surrounding gravity, leaving the heroes dizzy, unable to control their limbs, or use their Quirks.
• Uraraka Shige and his companions passed by the fallen heroes.

Uraraka Shige used his Gravity Quirk to incapacitate heroes inside the encirclement, though its limited range left many others unaffected. After a reckless hero charged into the distorted gravity and fell sick, Uraraka Shige’s companions attacked the remaining heroes.

• Uraraka Shige’s Gravity Quirk made nearby heroes dizzy and unable to fight, but its effect reached only those close to him.
• Heroes outside the affected area speculated about the cause, with some suspecting a virus or poison gas.
• A mutant-type hero charged into the distorted gravity, insisting it would not affect him, then fell and began retching.
• The charging hero’s reaction gave some heroes more clues about Uraraka Shige’s Quirk.
• Gu Yu, Shadow Transformation, and Uraraka Shige’s other companions began attacking the surrounding heroes.

Uraraka Shige and his allies used fire, water, and thrown debris to hold back the attacking “heroes,” but their supplies and strength began to run low. The attackers disrupted their defense and closed in, leaving Shadow Transformation to intercept a fast-moving hero threatening Heavy Water.

• Deflagration’s flame and Heavy Water’s crystalline spray knocked several “heroes” down, while Gu Yu hurled rubble at the advancing attackers.
• Shadow Transformation, exhausted from using his Quirk, could only throw weak stones to help distract the “heroes.”
• A bull-headed “hero” charged through the defenders’ attacks to disrupt their rhythm, allowing the ranged fighters to cover the melee fighters as they advanced.
• Uraraka Shige’s warped gravity field ended, and the fallen “heroes” got back up and attacked; Gu Yu intercepted a physically enhanced “hero.”
• Deflagration engulfed several charging “heroes” in a fireball, but another “hero” extinguished it with a turbulent current of air, and Heavy Water knocked that attacker down.
• A fast-moving “hero” in a black bodysuit appeared before Heavy Water, but Shadow Transformation appeared in time to block him.

Uraraka Shige and his allies struggled against the heroes’ coordinated attacks while police gathered around them. As the heroes withdrew and the police prepared to fire, an unknown voice interrupted them with a question.

• Uraraka Shige regrouped with his allies after knocking down more heroes and realized the police had likely joined forces with them.
• Deflagration suggested taking heroes hostage, but the heroes rescued their unconscious comrades and withdrew under ranged cover.
• Uraraka Shige used Screen to stop the heroes’ barrage, while worrying that police bullets might still penetrate his gravity field.
• As the police prepared to open fire, someone behind them asked whether they had seen a group of people like this.

Sakinagi Shushin arrived at the standoff and used his Quirk to turn the police officers and heroes against attacking Uraraka Shige and the others into pacifists. Uraraka Shige’s group escaped, but their last surviving attacker died before they could question him, leaving the investigation apparently at a dead end.

• Sakinagi Shushin slipped past the police cordon and reached the officers preparing to fire on Uraraka Shige and the others.
• When the officers aimed their guns at him, Sakinagi Shushin used his Quirk to make them apologize and put down their weapons.
• Uraraka Shige and the others attacked the surrounding heroes and officers while Sakinagi Shushin influenced more of their opponents from outside.
• After about five minutes, Sakinagi Shushin had turned nearly all the heroes and police officers at the scene, allowing Uraraka Shige and the others to break out and defeat their attackers.
• The last surviving attacker died before Uraraka Shige and the others could learn the attackers’ identities or goals.

Sakinagi Shushin warned Uraraka Shige’s group that Qu Zhi might have been involved in the attack against them, prompting a rift among the Wandering Protectors. Shadow Transformation, Heavy Water, and Deflagration left to investigate independently while the others set their priorities and heard news of further attacks on the group’s members.

• Sakinagi Shushin said Qu Zhi had likely been involved in bringing the attackers to them, and Gu Yu agreed that Qu Zhi might be plotting against the group.
• Uraraka Shige described Qu Zhi as someone who relied on schemes, deepening Shadow Transformation and Heavy Water’s doubts about whom to trust.
• Shadow Transformation and Heavy Water left together to investigate Qu Zhi, and Deflagration departed on his own.
• Uraraka Shige, Sakinagi Shushin, and the others agreed to monitor the departing members, investigate Qu Zhi while avoiding the police and heroes, and prioritize finding AFO’s remaining former followers.
• Sakinagi Shushin reported that other Wandering Protectors, including Stain and Spinner, had also been targeted in retaliatory attacks.

Uraraka Shige and his companions entered the Meta Liberation Army’s city seeking cooperation and help. Re-Destro confronted them with a show of force and demanded they prove their strength before he would consider their request.

• Uraraka Shige and his companions set aside the mystery of the force behind the gang that had attacked them.
• Uraraka Shige and his companions arrived in the Meta Liberation Army’s city and searched for the organization’s headquarters.
• Spinner asked where the Meta Liberation Army was hiding, and city monitors detected his words and reported the group’s presence.
• Stain noticed the streets emptying as the group approached the city center and warned the others that they had been spotted.
• Re-Destro emerged and surrounded Uraraka Shige and his companions with members of the Meta Liberation Army.
• Uraraka Shige asked to cooperate and receive help, but Re-Destro demanded that the group prove their strength.

Uraraka Shige and his companions fought the Meta Liberation Army after Re-Destro ordered an attack, trying to avoid killing their opponents while defending themselves. The battle left Spinner trapped in sticky liquid and Gu Yu captured, while Sakinagi Shushin remained surrounded and Uraraka Shige confronted Re-Destro.

• Re-Destro ordered the Meta Liberation Army to attack, and Uraraka Shige told his companions not to kill anyone.
• Gu Yu knocked back several attackers, while Spinner was taunted by a Meta Liberation member whose Quirk sprayed foul-smelling transparent liquid.
• Uraraka Shige blocked the falling liquid with his Screen technique, Stain used captured foes as cover, and Gu Yu and Sakinagi Shushin defended themselves in different ways.
• The Meta Liberation Army trapped Spinner in hardened liquid and used him as bait to split up Uraraka Shige's group.
• Stain incapacitated several attackers, Gu Yu was captured after fighting with a tree, and Sakinagi Shushin remained surrounded by members whose thoughts he had altered.
• Uraraka Shige knocked down nearby attackers with his Quirk and spoke to Re-Destro.

Uraraka Shige realized the Meta Liberation Army had lured the Wandering Protectors into a trap and tried to capture its leaders to turn the battle around. He attacked Re-Destro, who transformed into a giant after Uraraka Shige struck him.

• Uraraka Shige asked Re-Destro to cooperate against AFO's remaining followers, but Re-Destro rejected him and threatened to use the Wandering Protectors as a stage for the Meta Liberation Army's return.
• Uraraka Shige recognized that the Meta Liberation Army had intended to destroy his group and seize its reputation, while Spinner and Gu Yu remained hostages and Stain struggled against the fighters surrounding him.
• Uraraka Shige decided to capture Re-Destro and flew up to attack him with an axe kick, but a flash of black light knocked him away.
• Uraraka Shige charged Re-Destro again with the same axe kick, and Re-Destro's body swelled into a giant as the attack landed.

Shige used his gravity-manipulating Quirk against Re-Destro, who enlarged himself and resisted the chaotic field before grabbing Shige’s hand. The chapter ended as Re-Destro began to pull on it.

• Re-Destro underestimated Shige and gave him another chance to show his abilities.
• Shige uttered “Chaos,” disrupting the gravity around Re-Destro and the nearby Meta Liberation executives.
• Re-Destro enlarged himself, rescued Chikazoku Tomoyasu and the other executives, and flicked Shige beyond the field’s range.
• Re-Destro approached the injured Shige and caught his right hand between two fingers.
• Re-Destro tightened his fingers and began pulling Shige’s hand.
