• Jilan put Jiro and Hagakure in the grass, then used Hamon and Killer Queen to break a tree and pin Nomu beneath it.

Jilan faced Dabi, Twice, Kurogiri, and the Nomu until Yaoyorozu arrived with three Earth Beasts and disrupted their attack. He gave Yaoyorozu Ragdoll and asked her to evacuate the unconscious Jiro and Hagakure, leaving him alone with the League of Villains as Midoriya and the others headed toward them.

• Twice created a Dabi clone, and Dabi and Kurogiri combined their attacks against Jilan, whose Hamon-shielded arms endured Dabi’s freezing flames.

• Toga told the prisoners that several villains had been defeated and that Jilan Jiyu was fighting Twice, Dabi, Magician, and Kurogiri.
• Kurogiri appeared and ordered the League to withdraw, while Toga revealed that she had obtained the blue marble they had targeted.

The League of Villains tried to exchange Big Sis Mag and Spinner for Yaoyorozu, and Aizawa agreed to protect the injured student.

After Jilan helped expose the League of Villains’ deception and recover Ragdoll, the heroes and police gathered to respond to the attack and plan Tokoyami’s rescue. Jilan described the villains to Detective Tsukauchi, who promised the police would find the League’s hideout and bring Tokoyami back.

After the forest camp ended following the League of Villains’ attack, the injured students returned to U.A. Bakugo and Midoriya recovered in the infirmary while Jilan watched the badly injured Momo Yaoyorozu in an ambulance and vowed to make Himiko Toga pay.

• Kaminari teased bandaged Bakugo, who said a toy car had exploded and knocked out Muscular during his fight.

• Jilan realized he cared more about Yaoyorozu’s injuries than Tokoyami’s capture and vowed to make Himiko Toga pay.

After the forest training camp attack, public outrage focused on U.A. High School’s security failures while its staff discussed the villains, a paralyzed Poison Gas student, and their responsibility.

• Nezu reassured the silent All Might, who blamed himself for relaxing in a bathhouse while the students fought the villains.
• Mic urged the staff to find the League’s headquarters and rescue Tokoyami, but Cementoss said they had to wait for Aizawa and Vlad King to report from the police station.
• Ectoplasm appeared in a weakened, spirit-like form and Nezu said the staff needed to confront the possibility of a traitor.

U.A. staff discussed the possibility of a traitor and agreed to prioritize rescuing Tokoyami after All Might reported the League of Villains' headquarters had been found. At the hospital, Yaoyorozu told Jilan that Todoroki and Kirishima wanted a tracker so they could attempt a rescue, and hinted that Jilan himself was reckless.

• Principal Nezu raised the possibility that someone had unknowingly revealed the training camp's location, and the teachers considered both staff and students as potential suspects.
• Principal Nezu proposed dormitories for Hero Course students, but Ectoplasm worried that parents might withdraw their children after Tokoyami's kidnapping damaged U.A.'s reputation.

• Jilan told Yaoyorozu that her tracker had helped Detective Tsukauchi identify the League's hidden bar headquarters in Kamino Ward.
• Yaoyorozu told Jilan that Todoroki and Kirishima had asked her to make them a tracker, and Jilan objected to their plan to rescue Tokoyami without the police.
• Yaoyorozu said she had not given them the tracker and teased Jilan for being the most reckless of them all.

Yaoyorozu admitted how much Jilan’s reckless fighting worried her and said she was glad to have protected him, but a doctor interrupted before she could finish what she wanted to say.
