Chapter Summaries

After finishing an easy day serving tea, Uraraka Shige was ambushed and mistaken for Kaito, who looked exactly like him. The misunderstanding was exposed when the real Kaito entered the room, leaving the group who had kidnapped Shige stunned and embarrassed.

• Uraraka Shige took an alley toward the school’s snack street and was knocked unconscious by someone falling onto him.
• Uraraka Shige woke up tied to a chair as a group accused him of betraying them under the name Kaito.
• The group poured cold water on Uraraka Shige, who angrily insisted that he was not Kaito.
• The group refused to believe him until Kaito, who looked almost identical to Uraraka Shige, entered the room.
• Uraraka Shige realized the group had mistaken him for Kaito, and the kidnappers fell silent in embarrassment.

After accepting apologies from the children who had mistaken him for Kaito and tied him up, Uraraka Shige questioned them about the office building where he worked. Kaito revealed that it housed an organization trafficking children's organs, leaving Uraraka Shige with a clear warning about the people there.

• The children who had mistaken Uraraka Shige for Kaito apologized, and Uraraka Shige accepted their apologies.
• Uraraka Shige asked why they had captured him, and Kaito asked whether he had come from the office building.
• Kaito told Uraraka Shige that the people in the office building were bad guys.
• Uraraka Shige tried to coax information from Kaito by describing his work and the people he had met there.
• Kaito concluded that Uraraka Shige had only recently joined the organization and revealed that the office building was a hideout for an organization trafficking children's organs.

Uraraka Shige questioned Kaito and his companions to learn about the criminal gang and its connection to AFO. He realized Dr. Zōti had likely recruited him to steal children's organs and wondered whether to reveal Dr. Zōti's location to the gang.

• Uraraka Shige challenged Kaito's claim that the office-building gang sold children's organs, then learned that a powerful figure called the uncrowned king controlled both adult- and child-organ markets.
• Kaito and his companions described AFO as the feared uncrowned king and shared information about the gang, its security team, and Dr. Zōti's history.
• Uraraka Shige learned that Dr. Zōti had stolen children's organs to replace his own diseased organs, angering the gang and driving him into hiding.
• Uraraka Shige inferred that Dr. Zōti wanted him to steal organs from the gang as a long-term source of replacements.
• Uraraka Shige considered selling Dr. Zōti's location to the criminal gang.

Uraraka Shige continued observing the criminal gang’s office building while keeping Dr. Zōti’s location secret as a backup plan. After the man in black-rimmed glasses told him to come early the next day, Uraraka Shige considered what the unusual instruction might mean.

• Uraraka Shige explored the parts of the office building he could access, while the second floor remained shrouded in darkness and other areas stayed off-limits.
• Uraraka Shige chose not to reveal Dr. Zōti’s location to the gang, suspecting Dr. Zōti might have an informant inside the building and preserving the information as a backup plan.
• The man in black-rimmed glasses told Uraraka Shige his work was finished and instructed him to come early the next day.
• After leaving the building, Uraraka Shige analyzed the unusual instruction and considered whether it signaled a task connected to the gang’s hidden purpose.

Uraraka Shige continued working undercover at the office building while sharing what he learned with Kaito’s orphanage organization. Black-Frame Glasses summoned him early and began assigning him a new task, but the chapter ended before he revealed what it was.

• Uraraka Shige returned to the orphanage and reviewed the organization’s efforts to oppose the office building group and rescue its victims.
• Kaito’s friends questioned Uraraka Shige about his work, and he told them Black-Frame Glasses had asked him to arrive early the next day.
• Uraraka Shige arrived at the office building early and found Black-Frame Glasses already there.
• Black-Frame Glasses asked Uraraka Shige why he had joined the group, and Uraraka Shige answered that he wanted to obtain an excellent Quirk.
• Black-Frame Glasses began telling Uraraka Shige that he needed him to do something.

Uraraka Shige considered why Black Frames wanted him to infiltrate the orphanage organization and replace Kaito, and weighed what the office-building faction might know about its rival. With both sides still concealing much from him, he remained unsure how to proceed.

• Uraraka Shige connected Black Frames' description of a lookalike member to Kaito and the orphanage organization.
• Uraraka Shige considered whether Black Frames knew little about the orphanage organization or was testing him by withholding information.
• Uraraka Shige reasoned that the office-building faction might tolerate the orphanage organization because it feared its hidden strength, faced other enemies, or could not track it effectively.
• Uraraka Shige considered how the office-building faction might have learned about the orphanage organization, including leaks, accidental disclosures, or Quirks.
• Uraraka Shige remained uncertain about his next move because he had known both factions for only three days.

Uraraka Shige questioned Kaito about the office building’s criminal faction and learned that it had been weakened by heroes and apparently abandoned by the uncrowned king. Kaito left the identity of the faction’s mysterious backer unclear, but revealed who had targeted the gang.

• Uraraka Shige asked whether Kaito’s organization had powerful backing, and Kaito said a mysterious person had brought their group together.
• Uraraka Shige asked about the office building gang’s rivals and learned they had several opponents of comparable strength.
• When Kaito questioned his sudden interest, Uraraka Shige gave an ambiguous explanation and kept his suspicions to himself.
• Kaito explained that the gang had lost many members after being targeted from around the middle of last year, then lost more people when the uncrowned king visited and took them away.
• Kaito said the gang’s rivals had since confined its operations to an area about a hundred meters around the office building.
• Uraraka Shige asked who had targeted the gang, and Kaito answered, “Heroes!”

Uraraka Shige questioned Kaito about the heroes who had targeted the office building’s criminal faction, then reported what he learned to Black Frames while trying to assess the man’s knowledge. Black Frames gave no clear reaction, leaving Uraraka Shige uncertain about his informant and his own standing.

• Uraraka Shige asked Kaito whether All Might had led the heroes who targeted the criminal faction, and Kaito explained that other heroes and the police had uncovered the gang’s child-organ trade and arrested its members.
• Kaito said All Might’s rise had helped professional heroes grow in number and made it harder for villains to operate openly.
• Uraraka Shige thanked Kaito and left to rest, then returned to the office building the next morning and resumed serving tea and water.
• Black Frames waited until the shared office was empty before asking Uraraka Shige whether he had made progress on his task.
• Uraraka Shige gave Black Frames a mixed account of what he had learned from Kaito, hoping to test the reach of Black Frames’ informant and his own standing.
• Black Frames replied only that he understood, giving Uraraka Shige no clear indication of what he knew.

Uraraka Shige learned that the man in black-framed glasses planned to introduce him to an AFO-connected visitor and have him replace Kaito. He saw the assignment as a chance to gain information and use the office building’s forces for his own plans, though the dangers remained.

• The man in black-framed glasses told Uraraka Shige to get close to the person who looked like him and learn about him, while Uraraka Shige suspected he might eventually replace Kaito.
• Over the following week, Uraraka Shige continued his office duties and made contact with one of AFO's close subordinates.
• The man in black-framed glasses announced that someone from company headquarters would inspect the office the next day and told Uraraka Shige to stay so he could introduce them.
• After the other workers left, the man in black-framed glasses instructed Uraraka Shige to replace the look-alike and offered him afternoons off, while threatening him if he failed.
• Uraraka Shige considered using the office building's criminal forces and its enemies to help him learn when and where All Might would fight AFO, and thought of Zōti as a possible lead.

Uraraka Shige met Mr. Takukotsu, who questioned him about his motives and tested his claimed Quirk. After Uraraka Shige demonstrated a slight increase in his weight, Mr. Takukotsu confirmed the Quirk was real.

• Black Glasses introduced Uraraka Shige to Mr. Takukotsu, who questioned Black Glasses about the new member and his progress.
• Black Glasses said Uraraka Shige had infiltrated the orphanage organization and discovered that someone was secretly backing it.
• Mr. Takukotsu asked Uraraka Shige why he had joined and what his Quirk was, and Uraraka Shige claimed it let him make himself heavier at the cost of harming his internal organs.
• Mr. Takukotsu used his bone Quirk to create pieces beneath Uraraka Shige's feet and told him to demonstrate his ability.
• Uraraka Shige used Heavy Shackles at minimal strength, and Mr. Takukotsu confirmed that his weight had increased slightly.

Uraraka Shige manipulated the office building group, Dr. Zōti, and Kaito’s orphanage organization to set up a coordinated strike against the group and draw in forces opposing AFO. The chapter ended as the office building group and half its security team prepared to ambush a deal, beginning Uraraka Shige’s plan to change the outcome of All Might’s battle with AFO.

• Mr. Takotsu explained that AFO’s forces were under pressure from multiple sides and that he had come to reassure the office building group of AFO’s support.
• Uraraka Shige gained Kaito’s trust, told him the office building group might have informants in the orphanage organization, and began a secret plan with him.
• Uraraka Shige earned Dr. Zōti’s trust and lured him out of hiding by offering access to children’s organs.
• Uraraka Shige convinced the man in black-framed glasses that he had killed Kaito and taken his place, and learned that the office building group sold children’s organs.
• Uraraka Shige told the man in black-framed glasses that he had found Dr. Zōti’s whereabouts, prompting the group to set an ambush at a planned deal with a wealthy businessman.

Uraraka Shige and the security team watched an illegal child-organ deal in the mall garage, where a black-furred figure attacked the buyers and stole the organs. The figure was revealed to be Dr. Zōti, who was brought down as police closed in.

• Uraraka Shige and the security team waited in the unmonitored garage as a businessman and the Office Building faction’s representative began their deal.
• The representative showed the businessman a case containing children’s lungs, and a bodyguard brought out the briefcase of cash.
• A black-furred figure killed the businessman and his four bodyguards, then killed the representative and fled with the organ case.
• The security team chased the figure, while the man in black-framed glasses fired several shots and the figure suddenly fell, breaking the case.
• The figure wailed like Dr. Zōti as footsteps and a shout announced that the criminals had been caught with the evidence.

Dr. Zōti’s plan to secure a fresh child’s organ failed when his briefcase broke, leaving him close to death. The police and heroes confronted the office building faction in the underground garage, while a larger force prepared to attack their headquarters.

• Dr. Zōti reflected on how his greed and repeated use of his Quirk had worsened his terminal condition, and the broken briefcase left the child’s organ rapidly losing freshness.
• A Metropolitan Police Department officer arrived with armed police and heroes, startling the office building faction.
• The man with black-rimmed glasses realized Uraraka Shige had deceived them and wondered whether the boy had ever truly intended to join them.
• The police and heroes prepared to deal with the man and half the faction’s security team, while another force surrounded the office building to destroy the faction and seize its property.

After helping Yamato avenge his daughter, Uraraka Shige recruited allies against AFO and sought the Kyoyama Society’s approval. At the dojo of its head, elderly Mitarai, Shige sensed the blade’s supposed spirit just before the test ended, though it was created by Mitarai’s Quirk.

• Uraraka Shige was found hiding beneath a pickup truck, taken to the police department, and released into Yamato’s care.

• Shige decided to seek acknowledgment from the Kyoyama Society, an influential group of eighteen powerful Kyoto residents.
• Shige visited the society’s head, elderly Mitarai, who challenged him to sense the Blade Spirit in a blade through meditation.
• After Yamato advised him to sense it with his heart, Shige calmed himself and faintly sensed the blade’s will before the test ended.

Uraraka Shige earned Kotegawa Hikaru’s recognition by seeing past his Quirk, but failed Shinonome Mitsuse’s test and continued meeting Yamato’s Kyoyama Society connections. After a month and a half, news that All Might had destroyed an AFO-controlled factory signaled the coming battle between them.

• Uraraka Shige recognized that Kotegawa Hikaru’s apparent nobility was caused by his Quirk and earned his recognition with a revised assessment of Hikaru’s focus and conscientiousness.
• Uraraka Shige left Shinonome Mitsuse after about two hours, failing the elderly man’s request to keep him company until dawn.
• Uraraka Shige spent the following month and a half meeting Yamato’s connections, facing repeated tests and learning about AFO and his factions.
• Uraraka Shige heard that All Might had destroyed an evil factory under AFO’s control and realized their battle was about to begin.

After a year in Kyoto, Uraraka Shige learned that AFO had appeared in Kamino Ward and that All Might was likely heading there to confront one of AFO’s subordinates. Shige prepared to join the Anti-AFO Forces Coalition and asked Kaito to set out for Kamino Ward with him.

• Uraraka Shige and Yamato helped build the Anti-AFO Forces Coalition, which grew until neither of them controlled it.
• Uraraka Shige decided that after All Might’s battle with AFO, he would arrange for someone to care for his family and turn himself in.
• Uraraka Shige kept gathering information and preparing backup plans against the coalition’s members and its independent powerhouses.
• Kaito told Uraraka Shige that AFO had left Shinjuku Ward for Kamino Ward and that All Might was likely to follow him there to target Poison Chainsaw.
• Uraraka Shige finished folding a paper flower, concluded that the coalition’s moment to act was near, and asked Kaito to go with him to Kamino Ward.

All Might raided an AFO-linked factory in Kamino Ward and uncovered an underground drug-testing operation. He rescued the captives from immediate danger and defeated Poison Chainsaw, leaving the other experimenters on the floor.

• All Might smashed into the factory and ordered the ordinary workers to evacuate before a battle began.
• All Might used Detroit Smash to break through the factory floor and enter the hidden underground space.
• All Might found captive people being used as drug test subjects and saw a dying person strapped to an operating table.
• Poison Chainsaw attacked All Might with poisoned daggers and a poison chain, but All Might repelled both attacks.
• All Might used Texas Smash to send Poison Chainsaw crashing into a wall and knock him unconscious, while the experimenters fell from the force of the wind.

All Might survived the factory explosion, rescued the prisoners and villains, and confronted the villains who had set the trap. As more villains arrived, Yamato and the joint faction surrounded them, setting the stage for a larger confrontation.

• All Might subdued Poison Chainsaw and the other villains, then went to free the prisoners from their cages.
