Troy Defense System

Item

The Villains tear out of the cages in three seconds flat and laugh at the Heroes for trying. That reaction was budgeted for. The Troy Defense System was never meant to hold anyone; it was meant to buy the seconds that decide where everyone is standing when it fails.

Function

The system is a set of black metal containers buried beneath the battlefield. Activation drives them upward out of the ground, swallowing most of the Villains and cutting them into isolated pockets. Because the captives were meant to be scattered to different parts of Japan by Warp Gate, each cell carries its own propulsion and rockets itself toward a second set of portals, these produced by Neito Monoma after Copying Kurogiri's Quirk.

Sturdy as they are, the cages were never engineered to hold anyone for any length of time. The Villains rip through in under three seconds and mock the idea that such a thing could restrain them, which is exactly the outcome the Heroes wanted. The cells only needed to stall the Villains while the Heroes took up position and drove the wreckage and the Villains inside it backward into the Warp Gates waiting behind them. A member of the Paranormal Liberation Front points out how absurd it is to burn that much money and hardware on so simple an aim, and his opponent answers that no expense is too great when the goal is beating them, in Chapter 345 and Episode 144.
