Chapter Summaries

Uraraka Shige sealed the wind-walking Nomu while Re-Destro tore the fat Nomu out of his back and crushed it. Only the female Nomu and the mysterious Nomu that had appeared in everyone’s retinas remained.

• Hanabata Koku warned Re-Destro about the fat Nomu emerging from behind him, and his amplified voice rallied Meta Liberation members to protect their leader.
• Uraraka Shige chose to target the wind-walking Nomu, whose ability to merge with the wind his Orb could counter.
• Uraraka Shige drew the Nomu and the surrounding air into a black sphere, then sealed it inside a compressed shell underground.
• Re-Destro grew enormous, ripped the fat Nomu from his back, and smashed it into the ground until it was crushed.
• Uraraka Shige saw Re-Destro’s exposed, badly injured back and noted that only two Nomu remained.

The Meta Liberation members survived the Nomu battle and continued toward AFO with Killer Cancer, despite suspecting he might have betrayed them. Their journey stalled when Cancer began leading them in circles, prompting Chikazoku Tomoyasu to accuse him of helping AFO attack their headquarters.

• The female Nomu vanished after killing over a hundred Meta Liberation members, leaving behind the words, “So it was you...”
• The Meta Liberation members accused Killer Cancer of luring them into a trap, but Hanabata Koku calmed them because they still needed Cancer to lead them to AFO.
• Killer Cancer said AFO was less than half a kilometer away, and Uraraka Shige silently rejoined the group as they set off.
• The group traveled a few hundred meters before noticing that Killer Cancer was swaying and leading them around in circles.
• Chikazoku Tomoyasu accused Killer Cancer of stalling them so AFO could attack their headquarters.

Re-Destro reasoned that Killer Cancer’s disrupted Quirk and perception might have been caused by a hidden enemy targeting him from afar. He spotted a tiny black speck more than a thousand meters overhead, warned everyone to look up, and heard a rush of footsteps approaching from behind.

• Killer Cancer said his Quirk and perception might have been disrupted, but the Meta Liberation members doubted him.
• Uraraka Shige whispered Killer Cancer’s claim to Re-Destro, who considered how an enemy might affect only one person from a distance.
• Re-Destro concluded that a distant Nomu might be targeting Killer Cancer by sight from above the group.
• Re-Destro spotted a tiny black speck high in the sky and warned everyone to watch the sky.
• The Meta Liberation members looked up, then heard countless footsteps approaching from behind.

Yamato and the Union arrived to reinforce the group as they faced a Nomu more than a thousand meters away. After Uraraka Shige declined to reveal the full reach of his Quirk, Yamato sent an upright-looking man to exchange places with the Nomu, leaving it exposed to a barrage of attacks.

• The Union arrived, and Uraraka Shige was surprised by how energetic Yamato seemed compared with the man he remembered.
• Chikazoku Tomoyasu claimed he could bring down the Nomu with combat drones, but Re-Destro urged the group not to waste time.
• Re-Destro asked Uraraka Shige to deal with the distant Nomu, and Uraraka Shige said it was beyond his range while keeping his greater capabilities secret.
• Yamato agreed to handle the Nomu and directed an upright-looking man to act.
• The upright-looking man vanished and appeared where the Nomu had been, which was immediately hit by a dense barrage of attacks.
• The upright-looking man reappeared behind Yamato as the Nomu struck the ground.

Hanabata Koku was killed by a League member, setting off a battle between the Meta Liberation Army and the League as the Nomu attacked. Re-Destro, Yukio, Curiosity, and Chikazoku Tomoyasu fought amid the three-way clash.

• A Nomu that had fallen from the sky recovered and flew away as Killer Cancer led the group closer to AFO and the hospital.
• A League member killed Hanabata Koku, and Re-Destro killed the assassin while Yamato questioned whether a Nomu had controlled him.
• Meta Liberation members attacked the League, whose members fought back, leaving the Meta Liberation Army with heavy casualties.
• The Nomu charged into the battle and used an array of Quirks, including explosive projectiles, lasers, and attacks that drained people’s strength.
• Re-Destro fought as a giant, Yukio attacked from a snow dragon, Curiosity turned objects into bombs, and Chikazoku Tomoyasu deployed explosive robots.

Yamato used pollen to turn the melee against Meta Liberation, while the Union’s preparations revealed that it had allied with AFO’s side to eliminate them. Uraraka Shige, posing as Death Omen Star of the Secret Room, killed a Union attacker and fought off a Nomu, leaving the battle underway.

• Yamato spread Paralysis Pollen and Coma Pollen, weakening most fighters while Re-Destro and Uraraka Shige resisted its effects.
• Re-Destro questioned why Yamato and the Union had joined AFO’s side, and Yamato said they had already recovered what they needed.
• Uraraka Shige called Yamato disgusting, then swallowed a Union attacker and his saw in black mist.
• Yamato recognized Uraraka Shige as Death Omen Star of the Secret Room, and Uraraka Shige said he had come for revenge.
• Uraraka Shige killed a charging Nomu with black mist and summoned two black spheres, preparing to use Orb Burst.

Uraraka Shige fought the League and its Nomu with his gravity-based Quirk, then prepared a massive attack to engulf the battlefield. The chapter ended as he launched his Fallen Star Burst and warned Plague Doctor and Overhaul not to die.

• Uraraka Shige used Orb Burst and his black spheres to evade attacks and swallow the Nomu.
• A League officer targeted Uraraka Shige with a dangerous black speck that fused with his black mist.
• Uraraka Shige dispersed the mist, then rose higher and gathered gravity into a new black sphere.
• Uraraka Shige’s Star began pulling in the battlefield, while Meta Liberation members used their Quirks to protect themselves and others.
• Uraraka Shige launched Fallen Star Burst and told Plague Doctor and Overhaul not to die.

Uraraka Shige unleashed a devastating gravity storm against the League and Nomu, then had Chisaki Kai heal his left arm. With his Quirk restored to full strength, he attacked the apparently untouched hospital with a Gravity Blade, and figures began emerging from within.

• Uraraka Shige reversed gravity and detonated the enormous stone sphere, sending debris through the battlefield and killing many League members and Nomu.
• Chisaki Kai emerged from underground with Eri as Meta Liberation members climbed out after him.
• Uraraka Shige asked Chisaki Kai to heal his left arm in exchange for helping him fulfill his long-held wish.
• Chisaki Kai healed Uraraka Shige's arm, and Uraraka Shige discovered he could control his Quirk with renewed ease.
• Uraraka Shige swung his wooden sword and sent a Gravity Blade through the hospital, but the building remained standing.
• The hospital doors opened, and three figures approached as black traces and strands of light appeared beside them.

Uraraka Shige mistook two Nomu for his parents, then attacked the group and was caught in the middle Nomu’s stasis-inducing Quirk. The female Nomu spoke to him telepathically and asked for help, revealing that the Nomu retained their self-awareness and beginning to explain their Quirks.

• Uraraka Shige saw two Nomu that resembled his parents and realized that the figures appeared differently to each person.
• Uraraka Shige attacked the three Nomu with Gravity Blade: Slash, and the strike turned the left Nomu to ash while passing through the light-emitting Nomu.
• The middle Nomu opened its eyes, and its Quirk placed Uraraka Shige and everything around him into stasis.
• The female Nomu explained that her Quirk caused the stasis and asked Uraraka Shige to help her become free.
• The female Nomu revealed that the Nomu retained their self-awareness, said the Nomu on the left could turn itself and most things it touched to ash, and began describing the one on the right.

Uraraka Shige learned how the three Nomu’s Quirks worked and trusted the female Nomu’s warning to escape the frozen state, though the middle Nomu wounded his forehead. As he prepared to destroy the Nomu and the hospital where AFO was thought to be hiding, Mr. Cancer’s silence made him question whether AFO was still there.

• Uraraka Shige learned that the Nomu on the left spread a lethal touch, the one on the right slowed its targets, and the middle one froze matter within its sight.
• The female Nomu told Uraraka Shige she wanted freedom from AFO and had chosen to communicate secretly to keep AFO from learning of her rebellion.
• The middle Nomu approached Uraraka Shige and released only his forehead from the frozen state so it could attack.
• At the female Nomu’s warning, Uraraka Shige used gravity to launch the middle Nomu into the sky, breaking the freeze, though the Nomu left a deep wound on his forehead.
• Uraraka Shige noticed ash near his feet and prepared to destroy the hospital, then asked Mr. Cancer whether AFO was still inside and received no answer.

Uraraka Shige realized Killer Cancer’s unexplained disappearance signaled trouble, but focused on surviving the Nomu attack. He unleashed a gravity storm to shield himself from ash and killed the Nomu that had sneaked up behind him.

• Uraraka Shige and others noticed Killer Cancer had vanished without a trace, but they were too occupied with the battle to investigate.
• Uraraka Shige dismissed his worries and unleashed a storm of gravity around himself, keeping the drifting ash from reaching him.
• Uraraka Shige targeted the Nomu on the right after confirming the Gravity Blade could not defeat the ash-forming Nomu.
• The right-side Nomu approached Uraraka Shige from behind, but his weak-gravity field caught it and severed its head from its body.

Uraraka Shige found no signs of life in the hospital ruins after his ultimate move devastated both the enemy forces and the Meta Liberation Army. Re-Destro struggled to contain his anger, while Chisaki Kai appeared nearby in a plague doctor’s outfit.

• Uraraka Shige searched the hospital ruins with Gravity but sensed no living things.
• Re-Destro confronted Uraraka Shige about whether he had found anything.
• Uraraka Shige suggested sending the scouting team, unaware that his ultimate move had wiped it out.
• Re-Destro’s anger toward Uraraka Shige grew as he remained silent.
• Chisaki Kai appeared nearby wearing a bird-beak mask and plague doctor’s clothing.

Uraraka Shige and Killer Cancer confronted AFO, who remained hidden inside the radiant Nomu, while Uraraka’s attacks failed to reach him. AFO summoned a concealed Nomu and the Doctor from beneath the hospital ruins, revealing a body the Doctor had perfected.

• Uraraka Shige recognized that AFO was hiding in the radiant Nomu and repeatedly attacked him with Gravity Slash, but the blows had no effect.
• Killer Cancer sensed AFO’s presence, and AFO sent a mental message telling them to stop wasting time.
• Killer Cancer greeted AFO and confirmed he had come to assassinate him again.
• AFO called for someone to emerge, and a bluish-gray Nomu burst out of the ground in the hospital ruins.
• The Doctor emerged beside the Nomu and declared that it was the perfect body he had spent a long time refining.

The Doctor unleashed eight mechanically modified Nomu against Uraraka Shige and the others, confident he could overwhelm them. The group responded with their Quirks as the Nomu charged.

• Uraraka Shige recognized that the Doctor's open appearance suggested he was confident he could defeat everyone present.
• The Doctor wound up a strange head-like object, which produced a spiral of black liquid that formed eight mechanically modified Nomu.
• The Doctor ordered the Nomu to leave no one alive and called the group valuable experimental material.
• The group attacked the charging Nomu with a fire snake, a hurricane, and falling kunai-like objects.

Uraraka Shige and the Meta Liberation members discovered AFO’s brain-like body inside the Radiant Nomu, but an attacker’s shock wave rebounded and killed its user. Uraraka Shige realized AFO might be able to use Nomu as spare lives, then saw a chance to defeat him while the Doctor fitted him with a replacement body.

• Some Meta Liberation members sensed that AFO’s body was a brain, brainstem, and spinal fragment submerged in liquid inside the Radiant Nomu.
• A member of Meta Liberation fired a compressed shock wave at AFO’s sealed container, but it rebounded and burst the attacker’s head.
• Uraraka Shige wondered whether AFO could retrieve Quirks from Nomu and use them as spare bodies or lives.
• The Doctor began fitting a new body onto AFO, and Uraraka Shige recognized that AFO still depended on someone to replace his body.
• Uraraka Shige asked the others to kill the Doctor for their victory.

Uraraka Shige fought a Nomu and discovered that the eight Nomu’s mechanical parts disrupted Quirks after they died. As three Nomu were killed, their components began activating, and the remaining fighters faced the trap too late to avoid it.

• Uraraka Shige was struck by a Nomu while attacking the doctor and saw that the doctor’s damaged body contained metallic components.
• Uraraka Shige killed the Nomu by using a black sphere to destroy its heart and brain, despite being unable to affect its mechanical parts.
• The dead Nomu’s mechanical components activated, disrupted Uraraka Shige’s gravity control, and led him to warn the others not to kill the Nomu.
• Re-Destro killed a Nomu, while Yukio and other Meta Liberation members killed another; Chikazoku Tomoyasu was killed by a concealed weapon.
• With three of the eight Nomu dead, their mechanical components began revealing the danger they posed.

Uraraka Shige realized the Nomu’s mechanical components were generating a magnetic field that weakened people’s Quirks and warned Re-Destro to remove them. The female Nomu then activated the remaining modified Nomu, causing a deadly surge that began electrolyzing everyone’s bodies, until Re-Destro hurled the components far away and dispelled the field.

• Uraraka Shige recognized that the Nomu’s mechanical components were interfering with Quirks and warned Re-Destro to throw them away.
• Re-Destro broke away from his opponent and moved to remove a set of components while Uraraka Shige took over fighting the Nomu.
• The female Nomu ordered the four remaining modified Nomu to activate their components, intensifying the field until Uraraka Shige could no longer move.
• The intensified radiation began electrolyzing the Nomu and everyone nearby, while Re-Destro’s body swelled under the immense stress.
• Re-Destro hurled all eight sets of components in different directions, dispelling the field but leaving his palms severely burned.

Chisaki Kai restored Uraraka Shige and several others while AFO neared the end of his body adjustments, leaving the survivors facing an overwhelming threat. Fresh reinforcements arrived at the ruined battlefield and saw the battle’s devastation.

• Uraraka Shige endured the agony of dying until Chisaki Kai restored him with his Quirk.
• Chisaki Kai gave Eri to Uraraka Shige and rushed to save Re-Destro, restoring him and three other powerful allies, including Yukio.
• The Doctor continued adjusting AFO’s body until AFO could move his limbs and was close to testing its combat power.
• Uraraka Shige and the others watched AFO’s progress and tried to interfere, but the Doctor and AFO ignored their efforts.
• A group of reinforcements followed the route Uraraka Shige and the others had taken, reached the crater’s edge, and surveyed the battlefield.

Uraraka Shige reflected on how his arrogance had led to disastrous losses, then used the heroes’ arrival to direct suspicion toward AFO and the Doctor. The heroes were left shocked by the claim that AFO had been brought back to life.

• Uraraka Shige recognized that his plan to lure the heroes had worked, but he regretted the many losses caused by his overconfidence.
• All Might and the other heroes arrived, and Endeavor demanded to know what had happened and who had killed the people at the scene.
• Re-Destro claimed that a Nomu attack had killed Detnerat employees and civilians.
• Uraraka Shige pointed out the Doctor and AFO, claiming they had directed the Nomu and that the Doctor had resurrected AFO.
• All Might, Endeavor, and other heroes were shocked by the claim, while some recalled rumors of AFO’s return.

AFO taunted All Might and Endeavor to shake their confidence while adjusting to his new body. As AFO approached, Uraraka Shige threw Eri toward All Might and shouted for the others to protect her.

• AFO implied that he was himself and mocked All Might for losing his strength and no longer being a hero.
• AFO suggested All Might’s public appearances undermined the active heroes, making All Might question whether he had been too visible since retiring.
• AFO taunted Endeavor about living in All Might’s shadow, which also made All Might worry about Endeavor’s state of mind.
• AFO began awkwardly walking toward the group after adjusting to his new body.
• Uraraka Shige restrained Endeavor and the others briefly, threw Eri toward All Might, and shouted for them to protect her.
