Chapter 114 (Vigilantes)

Number 6 saturates the air with more projectiles than Koichi can outpace or pick off one at a time. Left without alternatives, Koichi pushes his speed to its ceiling, wheels around, and answers the barrage head on with repulsion blasts from Slide and Glide. The resulting chain of detonations lights up the sky above Naruhata, and everyone on the streets below watches it happen.

A news helicopter reaches the area and goes live, covering the district's blackout and describing two unidentified figures trading glowing shots at each other in midair. Spotting the camera, Koichi works out that a broadcast means All Might and other professional Heroes will be inbound before long. That takes the pressure off, since all he has to do now is stay in motion.

All For One is less impressed. He calls the spectacle a disaster for Operation Anonymous and orders Number 6 to switch to retrieval instead. Number 6 refuses. Killing Koichi with every ounce of strength he has left is the only thing he still wants, and All For One happily invites him to burn as brightly as he can manage.

Number 6 charges in, sending homing missiles around to strike Koichi from behind while he lines up a Knuckle Bomb from the front. Boxed in, Koichi absorbs all of it with everything he has. Then his opponent's body simply evaporates, dropping a bare skeleton toward the ground, and Koichi wonders whether that was the end of him.

The truth is waiting on the streets below, where the surviving Anonymous have gathered to break the fall. All For One recognizes the design: Number 6 stalled until his body gave out so that his crash site would be ringed with bodies whose Bomber cells he could absorb, feeding one final Detonation. He rockets back toward his target while All For One urges him to reveal the shining, long-desired form he has been chasing.

Koichi counters Number 6's missile barrage with repulsion blasts, and the explosions are visible to all of Naruhata.

A news helicopter broadcasts the aerial fight, convincing Koichi that professional Heroes are already on their way.

All For One declares Operation Anonymous a failure and orders a retreat, but Number 6 rejects it in favor of killing Koichi.

Number 6's body burns out and collapses, only for him to summon the remaining Anonymous and fuse with their Bomber cells for a final Detonation.
