Chapter Summaries

Uraraka Shige fought the giant Re-Destro to prove himself worthy of working with Meta Liberation, using his Quirk to exploit an opening and threaten him with Gravity Thread. Although Re-Destro’s forces had captured Uraraka Shige’s companions and the fight appeared one-sided, Uraraka Shige declared that Re-Destro had lost.

• Uraraka Shige tore open two of Re-Destro’s fingers with Chaos and escaped his grasp.
• Re-Destro continued the fight, telling Uraraka Shige that he would have to defeat him to qualify to work with Meta Liberation.
• Uraraka Shige struggled to land effective attacks while Re-Destro grew larger and destroyed nearby buildings.
• Hanabata tried to awaken Meta Liberation members affected by Sakinagi Shushin’s Quirk, but Sakinagi Shushin easily warped their minds again, while Stain was swallowed by the crowd.
• Uraraka Shige triggered the gravity points he had planted inside Re-Destro, then formed a dangerous Gravity Thread and stopped it just short of Re-Destro.
• Re-Destro regained his balance, and Uraraka Shige told him, “You lost.”

After Meta Liberation revealed that it had no reliable information on AFO’s hidden remnants, Uraraka Shige began to suspect Dabi was connected to them. Seven days later, news of a Nomu attack on U.A. High School convinced him the remnants might be behind it, but he still had no idea where to search next.

• Re-Destro told Uraraka Shige that AFO’s core followers had gone into hiding and that captured modified humans knew little, possibly because their memories had been tampered with.
• Uraraka Shige and Gu Yu connected a report of a burned man to Dabi, and Uraraka Shige wondered where Dabi, Toga, and the others had gone.
• Uraraka Shige and his companions changed hiding places and spent seven days without trouble, though the quiet made them uneasy.
• Uraraka Shige saw a report that Nomu had attacked U.A. High School and worried about his sister and All Might.
• Uraraka Shige suspected AFO’s remnants had sent the Nomu, but he could not think of anywhere else to look for them.

Uraraka Shige and the Wandering Protectors tracked Dabi down, but he and a group of disguised Nomu ambushed them. As the Nomu attacked, Sakinagi Shushin began to suspect Qu Zhi was connected to a larger plot surrounding the group.

• Uraraka Shige and the others paid Giran for information about Dabi and followed it to a small city.
• After days of searching, they found Dabi in an alley, where he had surrounded several thugs with flames.
• Dabi said he had finally found them, and Uraraka Shige suspected he planned to infiltrate their group for AFO's remaining forces.
• The thugs transformed into disguised Nomu, broke through Dabi's flames, and charged at Uraraka Shige and the others.
• Sakinagi Shushin considered whether their information had been leaked and suspected Qu Zhi might be tied to a wider web of events.
• The Nomu reached the Wandering Protectors as they were still reacting and thinking.

Uraraka Shige and his allies fought Dabi and a group of Nomu, using Sakinagi Shushin’s Quirk to make Dabi extinguish his flames and stop the Nomu. They captured Dabi alive, unaware that the passerby who had nearly been caught in the flames was secretly watching them.

• Sakinagi Shushin found that his Quirk could not affect the thoughtless Nomu, so Uraraka Shige sent them flying and advanced with Stain, Gu Yu, and Spinner.
• Dabi ordered the recovering Nomu to assist him and sent blue flames toward Uraraka Shige and the others.
• A Nomu amplified Dabi’s flames, which broke through Uraraka Shige’s air barrier and engulfed the group.
• Sakinagi Shushin’s Quirk affected Dabi, making him extinguish the flames and order the Nomu to stop fighting.
• Uraraka Shige and his allies captured Dabi alive, while a watching passerby secretly peered into the alley.

After Dabi’s capture gave Uraraka Shige and the others a lead on AFO’s remaining forces, Qu Zhi secretly maneuvered to take control of those forces and set a trap for Gu Yu. Gu Yu, Uraraka Shige, and the others headed toward the first trap, though the chapter left their next moves uncertain.

• Uraraka Shige and the others questioned Dabi and learned an address he had used to contact AFO’s remaining forces.
• Passerby A reported Dabi’s capture to Heavy Water, who concluded that Sakinagi Shushin’s Quirk had controlled Dabi and ordered his agents to return and recall the people tailing Twice and Toga.
• Heavy Water met Qu Zhi and agreed to infiltrate the enemy and stir up internal conflict so they could seize AFO’s remaining forces.
• After Heavy Water left, Shadow Transformation asked Qu Zhi whether Heavy Water had betrayed them, and Qu Zhi pretended to grieve and said they needed to adjust their plan.
• Qu Zhi revealed that he intended to inherit AFO’s assets and use Gu Yu as a stepping stone, while Gu Yu, Uraraka Shige, and the others hurried toward his first trap.

Uraraka Shige and his companions searched for an AFO remnant near an apartment building, but Dabi had left them with too little information to identify him. They decided to draw out the remnant by finding a child, while Spinner remained confused about their plan.

• Sakinagi Shushin confirmed that Dabi’s information pointed to an AFO remnant hiding near the convenience store, and Gu Yu answered with his mouth full of frozen treat.
• An old man confronted the group outside the store, first asking whether they wanted to buy something and then angrily ordering them away.
• Uraraka Shige and his companions realized they lacked the target’s appearance and apartment details, while Spinner complained that they had let Dabi go.
• Sakinagi Shushin, Uraraka Shige, and Stain reasoned that AFO’s followers would reveal themselves if they saw someone insulting AFO or his beliefs.
• Uraraka Shige and Sakinagi Shushin agreed to use a child to draw out the remnant, leaving Spinner bewildered.

Sakinagi Shushin and Spinner captured a man they suspected of being an AFO remnant after he reacted to children playing a game about AFO’s defeat. Sakinagi used his Quirk to make the captive confess, confirming that he was one of AFO’s followers.

• An AFO remnant disguised as an office worker grew angry after seeing children pretend that AFO was defeated by a hero.
• Spinner and Sakinagi Shushin restrained the man before he could use his Quirk.
• Sakinagi explained that the man’s behavior around the children seemed suspicious, though he admitted they had also chosen to capture him because nobody could witness it.
• The captive bit Sakinagi’s finger, and Sakinagi used his Quirk to pressure him into answering questions.
• The captive admitted that he was a remnant of AFO’s followers.

After interrogating an AFO remnant, Uraraka Shige and the others learned that the Doctor had taken charge of AFO’s scattered forces, but Sakinagi Shushin suspected their investigation had been manipulated by both sides. The group chose to continue pursuing the lead despite the danger.

• Sakinagi Shushin used his Quirk to force an AFO remnant to reveal that the Doctor had temporarily become the group’s leader, though the remnant knew little else.
• Spinner suggested that eliminating the Doctor might end the threat, but Sakinagi Shushin argued that the Doctor was likely consolidating AFO’s remaining forces.
• Sakinagi Shushin realized their investigation had proceeded suspiciously smoothly and warned that they might be caught in a scheme, with both AFO’s forces and other powers using them to scout each other.
• Gu Yu said the group could either continue or give up, and Uraraka Shige and Spinner argued they should press on.
• Stain advised withdrawing into the shadows, but Sakinagi Shushin decided they would continue and try to use the opportunity.

Uraraka Shige and the others noticed that unusually muscular pedestrians were gathering around the apartment, then were ambushed by a crowd of burly men who broke into the room. The intruders surrounded them and asked them to come along.

• Sakinagi Shushin spoke quietly with Stain while Uraraka Shige reminisced about his family.
• Stain noticed groups of pedestrians and suspected residents gathering outside and warned the others that something was wrong.
• Uraraka Shige and the others watched the muscular men outside, and one of them threatened Uraraka Shige with a throat-slitting gesture.
• After someone knocked, several burly men smashed through the walls and ceiling and crowded into the apartment.
• The intruders forced Stain and the others back toward the window, and the big-footed man asked them to come along.

Uraraka Shige and his companions fought the men who had come to take them away after the intruders swallowed capsules that countered his Quirk. Recognizing the drugs from his past, Uraraka Shige realized they pointed to a powerful organization and joined the battle.

• Uraraka Shige refused to go with the burly men and asked who had sent them.
• Uraraka Shige activated Chaos, but the men swallowed milky-white capsules that had previously countered his technique.
• Uraraka Shige recognized the capsules and asked where the men had gotten them, recalling the powerful organization behind the Gray Rat Society.
• Gu Yu attacked a nearby man with a glass coffee table, while Stain and Spinner engaged the intruders and Sakinagi Shushin used his Quirk to hold others back.
• Uraraka Shige recovered from his shock, released his Shackles, adjusted the gravity acting on him, and charged at the largest group of men.

Uraraka Shige and the others were gradually overwhelmed by the burly men’s coordinated attacks, leaving them trapped with defeat close at hand. The unconscious AFO remnant woke and activated his Quirk, freezing everyone in the room.

• Uraraka Shige used Gravity and Thread to attack the burly men, but their comrades pulled them out of danger.
• The burly men launched ranged attacks at Uraraka Shige while others pressed forward, forcing him to defend the group without advancing or retreating.
• Uraraka Shige countered the laser, poison-gas arrow, and air cannon, but the enemy’s relentless assault wore down his stamina and blocked the group’s escape.
• The AFO remnant they had left unconscious against the wall woke to the battle and activated his Quirk.
• Everyone in the room froze in place.

An AFO remnant used his Quirk to incapacitate Uraraka Shige, her companions, and the burly men, then cared for them and fed them. After hours of fruitless negotiations, the two sides silently agreed to turn on him as he went to prepare another meal.

• The AFO remnant accelerated everyone’s thoughts until Uraraka Shige, her companions, and the burly men passed out, then treated their injuries and settled them safely for the night.
• The fighters woke beside one another, but lingering aftereffects left everyone too sluggish to stand or resume fighting.
• The AFO remnant returned with food, and the frightened groups lost their appetite for fighting as they remembered his Quirk.
• After eating, Uraraka Shige’s group refused the burly men’s repeated requests to meet their boss, while the AFO remnant watched their peaceful conversation with satisfaction.
• When the AFO remnant stood to prepare another meal, both groups exchanged looks and turned their bloodshot eyes toward him.

Uraraka Shige met the former company manager who had produced the white capsules and rejected his offer of cooperation. After learning the man was responsible for the drug, Uraraka Shige attacked him.

• The burly men split over whether to fight Uraraka Shige and his allies, then took Uraraka Shige to meet their boss while Stain and the others agreed to lie low.
• Uraraka Shige met the muscular, dark-circled man, who said he had recently been released from a place and had asked about him.
• The man proposed that Uraraka Shige help him deal with several people and form a temporary alliance with the League and the Meta Liberation Army in exchange for money and equipment.
• Uraraka Shige rejected the offer, saying he did not trust the man and had better options for help.
• Uraraka Shige asked about the white capsules, learned the man's former company had produced them, and charged at him using his Quirk.

Uraraka Shige killed the man who had captured him, then escaped by flying through a window as his gravity Quirk grew stronger. After flying without paying attention, he landed in the same city and asked a passerby for directions to his apartments.

• Uraraka Shige killed the man with a gravity-powered punch that destroyed his internal organs, then reflected on his ability to take a life.
• Uraraka Shige crushed the window with gravity and left the room while the dead man's men watched without stopping him.
• Uraraka Shige changed gravity's direction before hitting the ground and flew away from the building.
• Uraraka Shige came to his senses after flying for a long time and landed near a bookstore, realizing he had not left the city.
• Uraraka Shige grabbed a passerby by the sleeve, asked where he was and how to reach his apartments, then let the frightened passerby go.

Uraraka Shige returned to the apartment building but left before investigators could notice him, then traveled to U.A. High School to check on Ochaco. After finding the campus in ruins and failing to learn where Ochaco was, he encountered the masked yakuza and was compelled to reveal his identity.

• Uraraka Shige left the cordoned-off apartment building and headed for U.A. High School to find out whether Ochaco was safe.
• After a day and a half of travel, Uraraka Shige reached the city, disguised himself in a hoodie, and made his way toward the school.
• Uraraka Shige found the original U.A. campus reduced to ruins and worried that Ochaco might have died in the Nomu invasion.
• Uraraka Shige failed to find clues about U.A.'s new building, escaped a trap set by thugs, and ran into a group wearing bird-beak masks.
• Uraraka Shige identified himself as a key member of the Wandering Protectors after the tall-hatted man's Quirk forced him to answer truthfully.

Uraraka Shige proposed that Chisaki Kai and the Shie Hassaikai work with him to investigate AFO’s remaining forces and share information with the League and the Meta Liberation Army. Chisaki Kai was interested in the potential alliance but questioned whether the other groups still existed and whether Uraraka Shige could bring them together.

• Uraraka Shige drank the unidentified beverage and asked Chisaki Kai to let him speak.

• Uraraka Shige explained that they should investigate AFO’s remaining forces and share information to help counter the person leading them.
• Chisaki Kai questioned whether the Meta Liberation Army still existed and how Uraraka Shige could guarantee an alliance.

Uraraka Shige tried to recruit Chisaki Kai into a partnership to track AFO's remaining forces, but Chisaki rejected his vague offer and ordered the Eight Bullets to seize him. Uraraka used Chaos to disrupt the Shie Hassaikai members' balance, but a ceiling-crawling attacker struck him with a dagger, leaving him dizzy and wondering if it was poisoned.

• Uraraka Shige clarified that he could only introduce Chisaki Kai to his companions, not guarantee a successful partnership, and Chisaki accused him of offering an empty promise.
• Chisaki Kai called Uraraka Shige an idiot, revealed that the Eight Bullets had followed them, and ordered them to grab him.
• Uraraka Shige activated Chaos, throwing the surrounding gravity into disorder and destabilizing most of the Shie Hassaikai members.
• A man crawling across the ceiling stayed mobile enough to hit Uraraka Shige with a dagger despite being affected by Chaos.
• Uraraka Shige realized the attacker might be accustomed to the disorienting conditions, then felt dizzy and suspected the dagger was poisoned.

Uraraka Shige escaped Chisaki Kai and the others after mistaking Deidoro Sakaki’s Quirk for poison, then reflected on his overconfidence and resolved to train and develop his Quirk. He set out to find Ochaco before settling down, but failed to find her, and two months passed.

• Uraraka Shige fled the underground bar after Deidoro Sakaki’s Quirk made him feel drunk, and his departure returned Chisaki Kai and the others to normal.
• As he moved away, Uraraka Shige’s senses recovered, and he realized Deidoro Sakaki had shared his drunken state through his Quirk.
• After reaching temporary safety, Uraraka Shige blamed his injury on carelessness and arrogance, and decided to resume training and exploring his Quirk.
• Uraraka Shige entered an alley and began searching for Ochaco before settling down to train.
• Uraraka Shige failed to find Ochaco, and two months passed.

Two months after the conflict, Uraraka Shige was approached by a Yamato's Union executive who wanted him and the Wandering Protectors to investigate a possible major move by AFO's remnants. The Union used information about Shige's older sister to pressure him, and he realized that other factions had approached the group at the same time, revealing that they had been under surveillance.
