Chapter Summaries

Jilan’s group reached the fiftieth-floor storage room, where Midoriya used Melissa’s Quirk-suppressing gauntlet to break in without injuring himself. The enemy noticed the breach and sent two people to investigate, leaving the group poised for a confrontation.

• Jiro scouted the stairwell and floor ahead while the group climbed toward the storage room, and Melissa explained her father’s renewed research into Quirk Factors.
• Melissa revealed that the enemy had likely locked the storage room, so Jilan proposed triggering the alarm to draw out only a few guards and exploit the group’s advantage.
• Midoriya used Melissa’s gauntlet with Full Cowl 8 to smash through the storage-room door, then entered with his arm unharmed.
• A monitor operator reported the breach to the red-haired boss, who ordered two people to investigate and urged Dr. David to act quickly.

Melissa showed the U.A. students her extensive collection of inventions in I-Island’s equipment storage room and offered to select support gear suited to their Quirks. The students admired her work, while Mineta asked about a giant armor model and then accepted Melissa’s offer to help him find equipment.

• Melissa used a disposable ID card to unlock her lockers, lighting up a quarter of the storage room with her inventions.
• Uraraka and Melissa praised each other, and Midoriya explained that Pro Heroes and scientists like Melissa complemented one another.
• Melissa offered to choose useful support equipment for the students, while Midoriya declined because his wristband already let him use his full strength.
• Mineta asked to use a towering armor display, but Melissa explained that it was only a model without a power source or equipment.
• Mineta boasted about passing his final exam, and Yaoyorozu pointed out that Midnight had gone easy on him.
• Melissa offered to find Mineta support equipment that could make him stronger.

Jilan reviewed I-Island’s outstanding students and discovered that the deceased researcher Alleyne had worked under Dr. Vogelbaum on artificial Quirks and humanoids. After Kyoka Jiro detected two terrorists arriving on the fiftieth floor, she drew one into an attack and stopped him with her amplified heartbeat.

• Jilan studied the students’ research profiles, found Alice Nakiri’s Quirk Cuisine project, and recognized Alleyne’s research as relevant to his interests.
• Melissa helped Kyoka Jiro, Iida, and Minoru Mineta choose support equipment but had no suggestions for Jilan, Yaoyorozu, or Uraraka.
• Kyoka Jiro detected two people in the elevator reaching the fiftieth floor, and Jilan encouraged the group to face them together.
• A girl lured the two terrorists away from the elevator, and the thin man attacked her with blades of air from his enlarged, webbed hands.
• The girl used her speaker to amplify her heartbeat into sound waves that shattered the attack and left the thin man clutching his bleeding ears.

Jiro lured Vulture into a storage room, where the students trapped and subdued him with a coordinated attack. Vulture learned that the group had used the tower’s surveillance blind spots to ambush him, and Jilan explained why his defeat had been inevitable.

• Vulture chased Jiro into a dark storage room, ignoring a puddle on the floor as he charged at her.
• Mineta’s Sticky Swamp trapped Vulture’s hands and feet, and the students froze him before Midoriya struck him in the waist and knocked him down.
• The hidden students revealed themselves, and Iida, Mineta, Todoroki, Uraraka, Yaoyorozu, and Melissa gathered around the subdued Vulture.
• Jiro admitted that she had acted frightened to lure Vulture into the trap, and Mineta teased her before she yanked his earphone.
• Vulture protested that his information had said only one student was on the floor, while Jilan explained that the group had avoided surveillance by using areas without cameras.
• Jilan considered Vulture’s defeat inevitable because the group had advantages in information, terrain, and numbers.

The students confronted Vulture and Purple Hulk, whose Quirk made him grow stronger as his intelligence fell. Jilan activated an alarm around the mech in the glass column, leaving the battle and the machine’s purpose unresolved.

• Vulture called for Purple Hulk to attack the students, and Minoru Mineta taunted him while keeping him trapped.
• Iida charged Purple Hulk, but the man grew into a giant and shattered Todoroki’s ice wall.
• Purple Hulk absorbed Midoriya’s punch and overpowered him, while Minoru Mineta’s sticky grapes failed to stop him.
• Vulture explained that Purple Hulk’s Quirk exchanged intelligence for strength, and Jilan called him a downgraded Hulk.
• Jilan struck the connector on the glass column with Hamon, triggering an alarm and bathing the mech inside in red light.

Jilan’s group defeated the Purple Hulk and Vulture, then realized they could use Vulture’s ID card to take the elevator directly to the control room. The chapter left them preparing to exploit the disabled communications and cameras to free All Might and restore order on I-Island.

• The Purple Hulk ignored Vulture and attacked the glass shielding the mecha until it broke, then collapsed onto the robot.
• Minoru Mineta questioned the Purple Hulk’s behavior, while Jilan explained that the man had traded intelligence for stamina and left the immobilized Vulture behind.
• Yaoyorozu, Tenya Iida, and Melissa praised Jilan’s tactics, while Shoto Todoroki blamed himself for failing to defeat the enemy.
• Jilan privately recalled that his Hamon attack had damaged the Purple Hulk’s brainstem, leaving him driven by instinct and at risk of brain death.
• Jilan told the group that communications and surveillance were disabled, then revealed Vulture’s ID card could give them elevator access to the control room.

Katsuki Bakugo and Eijiro Kirishima got lost while trying to reach the party and ran into Midoriya and the others in an elevator. The group told them terrorists had seized the venue and brought them into the elevator to explain.

• Katsuki Bakugo and Eijiro Kirishima realized they were lost and went to ask someone for directions.
• Katsuki Bakugo collided fists with Midoriya as the elevator doors opened, then attacked him, believing Midoriya had challenged him.

• Jilan Jiyu and Eijiro Kirishima stopped Bakugo from fighting and asked what had happened.
• Midoriya told Eijiro Kirishima that terrorists had taken control of the venue, and Shoto Todoroki urged the newcomers into the elevator to explain.

Jilan and the students worked to escape the halted elevator and reach All Might, but Jilan revealed that their efforts had created an opportunity to outsmart the terrorists. The chapter ended with him preparing to explain how opening the elevator doors would help turn the tables.

• Jilan explained that the terrorists had stopped the elevator after noticing the students, and Bakugo volunteered to force open its emergency hatch.
• Bakugo broke through the hatch, then threw Kirishima toward the 157th-floor doors so he could pry them apart.
• Kirishima opened the elevator doors, while Jilan realized his Hamon could affect the buttons and restart the elevator.
• Jilan stopped Kirishima from climbing back down and said opening the doors had been necessary to gain an intelligence advantage over the terrorists.

The red-haired boss and his hacker learned that four U.A. students had reached the 157th floor and ordered the security system to delay them while Dr. David cracked the United Nations lock on his invention. The hacker discovered the elevator was moving again, but Iida struck him down before he could grab his handgun.

• The hacker identified Shoto Todoroki and the other three U.A. students on surveillance footage, and the boss decided not to send anyone after them.
• The boss left to contact their allies by satellite phone and told the hacker to watch Dr. David and keep him working.
• Dr. David continued trying to crack the United Nations lock so he could retrieve his invention, with his assistant urging him on.
• The assistant was revealed to have arranged the villains' help and handled the preparations for David's staged capture.
• The hacker heard the elevator approaching and rushed for his handgun, but Iida's Recipro Burst sent him crashing into a wall unconscious.

Jilan and the others reached the control room, where they confronted the masked red-haired man whose Quirk controlled magnetism. Jilan freed Iida from his control and identified the enemy’s power, but the confrontation was interrupted by a newcomer arriving with the item.

• Mineta found the control room’s enemy defeated, and Midoriya asked Melissa to take over the console.
• Jilan stopped Melissa when he noticed the masked red-haired man approaching, then urged the isolated captain to surrender.
• The red-haired man used his metal-controlling Quirk to pin Midoriya to a wall and make Iida spin toward the others.
• Jilan used Mineta’s water gun to trap Iida’s shoes in grape juice, then used Life Magnetism Hamon Overdrive to cancel the man’s control over Iida.
• Jilan named the masked man Magneto and introduced himself as Jilan Jiyu of U.A. High School.
• A startled voice announced that it had gotten the thing and asked what had happened.

Dr. David admitted he had helped the terrorists recover his Quirk-amplifying invention, hoping to restore All Might to his former strength. His assistant Sam betrayed him by taking the device for the red-haired man, revealing that he wanted wealth after David’s research was shelved.

• Melissa confronted Dr. David, who admitted he had planned the operation to reclaim his invention.
• Dr. David revealed a device that could amplify Quirks and asked Midoriya to deliver it to All Might.
• Melissa showed David that the security robots were attacking the students, and David said he had not known about it.
• Sam attacked Dr. David, took the briefcase, and joined the red-haired man.
• Sam explained that he had betrayed David because he needed money and resented the years spent on research that brought him no reward.

The red-haired man used his metal-controlling Quirk to corner the students and force Dr. David to leave with him by threatening Sam. Midoriya broke through the metal wall with a full-powered punch, but Dr. David had already followed the red-haired man.

• The red-haired man aimed a real-bullet pistol at Sam, who asked the students to tell the police that Dr. David had known nothing about the incident.
• Midoriya charged at the red-haired man, followed by Uraraka and Jilan, while Jilan told Iida to stay back and Minoru Mineta provided support.

• Dr. David offered to go with the red-haired man in exchange for Sam's life, and the red-haired man agreed before taking Dr. David with him.
• Midoriya struck the metal wall with One For All 100%, shattering it and opening a path through.

Midoriya, Jilan, and their friends restored I-Island’s security system and freed the Pro Heroes, who overpowered the terrorists. After Melissa told All Might that David had been captured, All Might set out to bring him back.

• Midoriya struck Jilan’s pursuer with a powerful blow, then Uraraka and Iida helped him chase after Jilan and rescue David.

• Denki Kaminari revealed his disguise and stopped terrorists from escaping, using a gun loaded with tranquilizer rounds.
• Melissa called All Might to report David’s capture, and All Might promised to bring him back.

Jilan confronted the red-haired man to stop him from escaping with Dr. David and the Quirk-enhancing device. He defeated the man and recovered the locked suitcase, then helped Dr. David up.

• Melissa saw the red-haired man take Dr. David to a helicopter before the surveillance feed went to static.
• Jilan confronted the red-haired man, who warned him not to follow and hinted that the man behind the League of Villains had claimed him.
• Jilan realized All For One, or DIO, might be behind the theft and decided the device could not fall into his hands.
• Jilan attacked with Hamon and Killer Queen, destroyed the red-haired man's metal defenses, and struck him into the helicopter blades.
• Jilan found the combination-locked suitcase and helped the unconscious Dr. David up.

Jilan helped Dr. David recover the Quirk enhancement device and urged him to make things right with Melissa, but the red-haired villain rose again and attacked. Iida used his knowledge of magnetism to break free of the villain’s power and strike him into the fuel-leaking helicopter, which exploded.

• Jilan revived Dr. David, who gave Midoriya the device to deliver to All Might and admitted he was willing to face punishment for breaking I-Island’s rules.
• Jilan urged Dr. David to seek Melissa’s forgiveness, and Dr. David acknowledged that he had let her down.
• Jilan sensed a second attack and shoved Midoriya and Dr. David out of the way of a spinning helicopter rotor blade.
• The red-haired villain rose and used his metal-manipulating Quirk to lift Iida, but Iida heated his exhaust flames enough to regain control of his legs.
• Iida struck the villain into the helicopter, where the leaking fuel ignited and caused an explosion.
• Iida credited Jilan’s advice about using information in a fight, and Jilan told him that knowledge could turn a villain’s advantage into a victory.

All Might arrived after Jilan, Iida, and Midoriya defeated the red-haired enemy, and reassured Dr. David that the next generation could carry on the peace they had built. When David discovered the device was missing, he warned that the students were in danger just as the floor beneath them began breaking apart and floating toward the helicopter wreckage.

• All Might arrived on the rooftop and learned that Jilan and Iida had defeated the enemy.
• Jilan took Midoriya and Iida to check the helicopter wreckage while All Might spoke privately with Dr. David.
• All Might told David he had never blamed him and urged him to trust Melissa and the students to carry the future forward.
• David agreed to let All Might use his device to maintain peace, then discovered it was missing from the briefcase.
• Jilan sensed the floor trembling, and the metal beneath the students broke apart and floated toward the helicopter wreckage.

• Jilan realized the red-haired villain had equipped Dr. David's device, and All Might told Jilan and Midoriya to protect the doctor.
• The red-haired man manipulated the rooftop's steel and attacked All Might, who countered with a Carolina Smash.
• Jilan noticed the red-haired man showed no pain, and the villain revealed that All For One had given him a muscle augmentation Quirk.
• The red-haired man caught All Might's fist, struck him with metal-wrapped concrete, and sealed him inside a massive metal-and-concrete lock.
• The villain reinforced the lock as All Might struggled to break free and taunted him about running out of air.

Jilan realized Dr. David’s Quirk-enhancement concentrate might help him reach All Might, who was trapped in the sky, and considered drinking it despite its danger. Before he could act, Midoriya used Uraraka’s Zero Gravity and Melissa’s gauntlet to launch himself at the seal.

• Jilan learned the Quirk-enhancement device could last up to twenty minutes and decided All Might had to be saved, even if he revealed Killer Queen.
• Dr. David explained that the blue concentrate could overload a Quirk and strain its user’s body, but Jilan took the bottle and considered drinking it.
• Uraraka, Yaoyorozu, Melissa, and the others arrived, and Melissa reunited with Dr. David before learning that All Might was sealed in the sky.
• Midoriya asked Uraraka to use Zero Gravity on him, then propelled himself upward with a blast of air.
• Midoriya activated Melissa’s final-use gauntlet and swung at the seal, shouting, “Break! Smash!”

Jilan drank Dr. David’s Quirk enhancement concentrate and used Hamon to help Midoriya free All Might from the steel cage. With All Might charging the red-haired man, Jilan prepared to test a new ability using the scattered iron sand.

• Midoriya’s punch cracked the steel cage but failed to break it, and Jilan caught him before he fell.
• Jilan revealed he had drunk the concentrate, then used Life Magnetism Hamon Overdrive to float and send Midoriya safely down to Iida and Uraraka.
• Jilan struck the crack Midoriya had made with Sunlight Yellow Hamon Overdrive, shattering the cage and freeing All Might.
• All Might teamed up with Jilan and sprinted up the metal frame toward the red-haired man.
• Jilan gathered the scattered iron sand and electromagnetic field around the rooftop to try out a new ability.

Jilan and All Might defeated the red-haired man on the ruined rooftop. The Quirk-enhancement device broke, but All Might coughed blood as the students ran to him.

• Jilan used iron sand spears to pierce the red-haired man’s limbs and stomach, then struck him with Silver Hamon Overdrive and left iron sand inside his body.
• The red-haired man discovered that using his metal-manipulating Quirk would make the iron sand burst through him, leaving him weakened and desperate to retreat.
• All Might broke through the red-haired man’s metal defenses and struck him with a Detroit Smash, breaking the Quirk-enhancement device.
• The moon appeared over the ruined rooftop as the red-haired man screamed from the pain of his injuries.
