The Meta Liberation had quietly taken control of the city while Uraraka Shige's large force advanced toward AFO's hiding place. After Killer Cancer knocked out two ambushers, the group continued openly, unaware of what awaited them.

• The Meta Liberation's members and allies had taken control of nearly the entire city and formed a cordon around it.
• Killer Cancer led Uraraka Shige's party through a trap-filled area and avoided falling into a pit of explosives.

• Killer Cancer struck the enemy and his ninja companion unconscious before they could stall for time.
• Uraraka Shige and more than ten thousand followers marched openly toward AFO's hiding place.

Uraraka Shige realized that a magnetic field could interfere with his control over gravity, leaving him questioning how dependable his Quirk was. As he followed Killer Cancer, numerous strange figures appeared around them, while a being formed from gathered light began to emerge.

• Uraraka Shige considered how an electrified steel ball had subtly affected the gravitational structure inside his black sphere.
• Uraraka Shige concluded that the magnetic field might have affected his ability to control gravity rather than gravity itself.
• Killer Cancer stopped as the faceless Nomu appeared ahead of them.
• A skull-less figure, an armored figure, a wall-born figure, an airborne figure, and other strange beings manifested around the group.
• Light gathered into an egg and then transformed into a humanlike figure as Uraraka Shige and the others watched.

The Nomu attacked the Meta Liberation executives and their allies, using coordinated Quirks to engage separate opponents. As the group focused on a light-based Nomu that appeared only in their vision, another Nomu began emerging from a member’s back unnoticed.

• The Nomu charged after a female Nomu called out, with several of them selecting targets without further orders.
• The wall-smashing Nomu attacked Killer Cancer, while five others rushed Uraraka Shige and the others.

• The light-based Nomu rushed into everyone’s field of vision, drawing their attention despite having no physical body.
• A limbless Nomu began emerging from the back of a Meta Liberation member while the group watched the light-based Nomu.

The Meta Liberation members struggled against the Nomu’s blinding, intangible presence while Uraraka Shige fought the jet-propelled Nomu in midair. Although his black sphere pierced and crushed it, the Nomu regenerated and blasted Uraraka Shige away with a hidden throat weapon.

• The Nomu’s blinding light confused the Meta Liberation members, whose attacks missed it and caused collateral trouble for the other Nomu.
• The wind-stepping and armored Nomu were knocked back or pinned down as the Meta Liberation members attacked them.
• Uraraka Shige warned that the Nomu was unaffected by gravity, but the chaos drowned out his hoarse voice.
• The jet-propelled Nomu evaded Uraraka Shige’s black sphere, but the sphere curved around and pierced its chest, revealing mechanical parts and rapid regeneration.
• Uraraka Shige expanded the black sphere and crushed the Nomu, then spat out its compressed remains as a lump of flesh and metal.
• The Nomu regenerated, fired a powerful blast of compressed air from a metal tube in its throat, and sent Uraraka Shige flying.

Uraraka Shige fought the Nomu attacking him while Meta Liberation members were slaughtered around him. When a blood-transforming Nomu reappeared and halted the jet Nomu, Shige realized that both enemies could think independently.

• Uraraka Shige watched Meta Liberation members struggle against the Nomu, and a female Nomu struck down a line of attackers with one gesture.
• The jet Nomu flew at Uraraka Shige, who trapped him in black mist formed from Gravity and began tearing his body apart.
• A pink mist gathered into a cloud that drew blood from nearby Meta Liberation members and threatened to drain Uraraka Shige.
• The blood-transforming Nomu re-formed from the cloud after Curiosity-Chikazoku Tomoyasu had blown it apart, while the jet Nomu regenerated and escaped the black mist.
• The blood-transforming Nomu stopped the jet Nomu in midair, and Uraraka Shige realized that both Nomu were self-aware and capable of independent thought.

Uraraka Shige struggled against a blood-transforming Nomu whose power turned his own blood and the blood of nearby Meta Liberation members against them. As he fell toward the battlefield, he realized that the light-draped Nomu that had filled his view had vanished, though he could not tell when.

• The jet-propelled Nomu abandoned its attack on Uraraka Shige and flew down toward the Meta Liberation members after the blood-transforming Nomu stopped it.
• The blood-transforming Nomu dispersed into mist that Uraraka Shige inhaled, causing the blood in his body to surge and inflicting severe pain.
• The Nomu gathered bloody vapor around Uraraka Shige, while the Meta Liberation members below began coughing blood that rose into the vapor.
• Uraraka Shige concluded that the Nomu’s power might grow stronger with more blood, canceled his gravity Quirk, and plummeted toward the ground.
• As Uraraka Shige surveyed the Nomu slaughtering the Meta Liberation members, he noticed that the light-draped Nomu had disappeared from his view.

Uraraka Shige regained some control of his Quirk after sealing the blood-manipulating Nomu inside a compressed mass and hurling it away. He then took down the jet Nomu while Re-Destro and the Meta Liberation members finished off the burrowing and armored Nomu.

• Uraraka Shige used Orb Activation to compress the blood-manipulating Nomu inside a stone-wrapped mass and send it far into the sky.
• As the Nomu’s influence faded, Uraraka Shige’s bleeding began to heal and he regained control of his Quirk.
• Uraraka Shige ambushed the jet Nomu with a black sphere, destroyed its head, and sealed its body inside the sphere.
• Re-Destro smashed the burrowing Nomu into the ground, and Yukio and other Meta Liberation members froze it solid.
• Meta Liberation members melted the armored Nomu’s armor, pierced it, and destroyed it with an explosive and corrosive liquid.
