Festival of Lights · Diwali
Jilan Jiyu concealed the destructive nature of Killer Queen while earning admission to U.A. and settling into Class A. After proving himself in the entrance exam and classroom tests, he joined combat training, where his Hamon helped secure a victory against Shoto Todoroki’s team.
Jilan Jiyu became Class A’s representative before the League of Villains attacked USJ, where he fought to protect his classmates and helped All Might drive off the villains. After waking in the infirmary, Jilan discovered that he had inherited Yoshikage Kira’s Killer Queen ability and gained Sheer Heart Attack.
After the USJ attack, Jilan Jiyu helped the police understand the Nomu, supported Diduo Chengjie, and returned to U.A. He became entangled in a Student Council dispute over Sports Festival preparations, then realized Erina Nakiri’s assignments were fair.
Class A completed rescue and hide-and-seek exercises at USJ, where Midoriya confronted Amadeus Mask and learned the danger had been part of All Might’s test. As U.A. prepared for the Sports Festival, Jilan considered the risks, Class A faced a challenge from other courses, and security dealt with a suspicious food stall owner.
Jilan competed in the Sports Festival, advancing through the obstacle race and cavalry battle before reaching the tournament stage. After helping his teammates qualify and settling disputes around the festival, he watched Midoriya defeat Hagakure in the first tournament match.
Jilan Jiyu advanced to the Sports Festival final but lost to Katsuki Bakugo, while his growing urge to use Killer Queen unsettled him. After defending Satomi Ishihara from an attacker, Jilan met Soul Band and followed Camie Utsushimi into a mysterious basement.
Jilan joined the Soul Band for a Queen tribute concert, then chose Mad Rabbit’s remote zoo for his work-study placement. He discovered that the zoo’s animals became human at night and agreed to help make the struggling zoo popular while pursuing his goal of becoming a Pro Hero.
Jilan helped the zoo’s animals prepare a circus while the Hero Killer incident drew Midoriya, Iida, and Todoroki into a fight with Stain and the League of Villains. The circus opened successfully, and Jilan remained puzzled by the director’s unexplained meeting with a tall stranger.
Jilan investigated Stain’s connection to All For One while helping his classmates prepare for their final exams. After visiting Tensei Iida and tutoring at Yaoyorozu’s estate, Jilan and Asui passed their practical test against Ectoplasm.
Jilan confronted Shigaraki, refused the League of Villains, and arranged to attend the I-Island Expo with Ibara Shiozaki aboard the Voyager. On the cruise, he clashed with Ueno and the head chef, then entered the casino in disguise and tried a slot machine with Hamon.
Jilan and his companions attended Shadow’s weapons presentation aboard the Voyager, where the artificial Little Red Riding Hood became the target of a theft. As the ship’s systems failed and passengers searched for the thief, Jilan fought Isana and learned that he feared DIO.
Jilan uncovered the whale’s strange power and secured a fragment of its ambergris while students and Shadow operatives fought over Little Red Riding Hood. The arc ended with Alain moving toward his final plan as Twice remained missing and trouble gathered on the deck.
Jilan and the U.A. students survived the Voyager’s attack, while Jilan’s dealings with Toga, Shadow, and Little Red Riding Hood led to new mysteries on I-Island. The survivors reunited there as Homelander promoted military use of Quirks and All Might brought Midoriya to meet a girl who called him “Uncle Might.”
Jilan reunited with his classmates on I-Island, met Erina and Fran, and joined the students’ effort to stop terrorists who took over the welcome party. After helping them reach the control room, Jilan confronted the masked man controlling the metal and freed Iida from his Quirk.
Jilan helped defeat the red-haired villain on I-Island, but the Quirk-enhancing drug left him seriously ill and exposed him to the authorities’ interest. Back in Japan, he kept his distance from the League of Villains and took Fran to Tottori, where Mrs. Qiyuan and Xiaoyou received them warily.
Jilan reunited with Fran and met the Oumagadoki Circus director before joining Class A at the accelerated forest training camp. As the students pushed through dangerous exercises and personal conflicts, Jilan helped them reach camp and advised Todoroki and Bakugo, while the story left the class preparing for a test of courage.
Jilan and the heroes fought the League of Villains during the training camp attack, but the League escaped with Tokoyami. As All Might and the police prepared a rescue operation in Kamino Ward, Midoriya and the other students headed there ahead of them.
