Chapter Summaries

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.
• Cracks spread across the crystal ball until the barrier burst, and a strong wind swept Shige and the others outside.
• More than half the Nomu were swept out with them, and the creatures remained smaller than their normal size.

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

• Uraraka Shige used a gravity force derived from Strike to push Endeavor back, but Endeavor's reflexive flames grazed his left arm.

Three years after injuring his arms, Uraraka Shige had become the feared villain known as Death Omen Star while struggling to control his gravity Quirk. After regaining precise control, he decided to pursue real revenge and chose Endeavor as his first target.

• Endeavor, growing more cautious, unleashed another torrent of flames at the object.

Uraraka Shige used black mist that swallowed Endeavor’s flames and moved into a crowd of reporters, police officers, and the “villain group.” When the mist cleared, the reporters and officers were down, but the “villain group” had escaped their restraints.

Chisaki Kai arrived with Eri and reported that the rescue target was guarded by many strong fighters, while Uraraka Shige saw Eri as a good fit for the Meta Liberation Army.

• Chisaki Kai brought Eri to Uraraka Shige and explained that her Rewind Quirk was the source of the products.
