• All Might arrived at the plaza, vowed to make the attackers pay, and saw Tomura Shigaraki’s hand reach for Asui as a golden light began to shine from Jilan Jiyu.

• Jilan opened the handkerchief and found a toy car with a skull and bony claws.

Jilan Jiyu woke in U.A.’s infirmary after the villain attack and suspected he had gained Killer Queen’s Sheer Heart Attack ability. After Tsuyu Asui explained what had happened, he recognized the skull-shaped watch she returned as a gift from the dead and left the infirmary to investigate.

• Jilan put Asui to bed and left the infirmary with the watch, his expression unsettled.

Jilan Jiyu awakened Sheer Heart Attack by using Killer Queen on a skull watch and learned that the bomb tank recognized him as Yoshikage Kira. He allowed it to stay with him after making it promise not to kill anyone.

• Jilan Jiyu examined his growing nails and reflected on inheriting Yoshikage Kira's ability alongside his Hamon.
• Jilan Jiyu infused the skull watch with Killer Queen, causing it to transform into the Sheer Heart Attack bomb tank.

After the attack on U.A. High School, Jilan Jiyu checked messages from worried friends, reassured Inasa Yoarashi that he was safe, and returned to the infirmary. He spotted a strange flying eyeball outside the school but did not pursue it, then settled in for the night with Tsuyu Asui.

• Jilan Jiyu punched the Nomu, and it turned its head before returning to its blank stare.
• All Might struck the Nomu several times to demonstrate his combat technique, and the Nomu slowly got back up.
• Jilan Jiyu proposed that the Nomu could not act independently and only responded to commands, then raised his hand to test the hypothesis.

• Jilan stopped Kyoka as he was leaving, recognized that Diduo was the guitarist in Kyoka’s band, and told Tsukauchi that Diduo had helped him and might not be a criminal.

Kyoka Makoto came to the police station to find Diduo Chengjie and argued that his younger brother had been misled into joining the attack on U.A. High School. After Diduo accepted that he should be punished, Inspector Tsukauchi asked Jilan Jiyu whether Diduo’s help during the invasion should count against his charges.
