Chapter 134

Eijiro Kirishima's peak Hardening holds, though it creaks under strain and lasts barely half a minute. Confident regardless, he meets the enhanced thug's massed blade blast head on, absorbs it, and drives forward, splintering the edges as he closes. Red Gauntlet ends the fight in front of an impressed crowd. As the technique fades, leaving him scratched but standing, Eijiro is simply glad the bystanders came through unharmed. The thug begs to be released and gets refused, since he shot Tamaki. An attempt at sympathy over their similar pasts is snarled down, and two large blades erupt from the man's back to launch him past his opponent. Eijiro smashes them and curses his own gullibility, only for Fat Gum to appear in the escapee's path and swallow him bodily.

Struggling achieves nothing against Fat Absorption, which sticks to whatever touches it and draws the target inward, and the thug surrenders. Fat Gum explains that suppressing a villain means killing their fighting spirit fast, by whatever means. A middle aged bystander praises Eijiro for putting their safety first, and Fat Gum congratulates his debut, returns the thanks, and predicts greatness ahead, which delights him. Examining the aftermath, Fat Gum identifies the enhancer as illegal in Japan and Asian in origin, since it burned out within minutes rather than the hour or two an American batch would give. A policeman reports the gun itself was smashed and was no ordinary firearm, with no rounds left inside. Fat Gum then catches Tamaki hiding his gloomy face in his hood, ashamed and quietly grateful for the protection. Drugs that boost feeble Quirks are old news to him; drugs that switch them off are not. He decides on a hospital trip for Tamaki, with something else to look into as well, and both students come along.

Back in Class 1-A, Denki finds Red Riot's debut circulating online, along with Ochaco and Tsuyu's giant takedown. Tenya praises all three while reminding them that coursework still matters, Denki needles Eijiro over his grades, and Hanta admits he skipped Shota's supplementary lessons because they were too hard. Izuku, meanwhile, has settled his feelings about Sir Nighteye, Mirio and All Might, yet the girl he met on patrol will not leave his thoughts.

Days later, Eijiro heads out at the same moment as Izuku, Ochaco and Tsuyu. Escorted to the station by a patrolling hero, they board one train, exit together, walk the same street and turn the same corner, each surprised the meeting point has moved. There they meet Nejire, Mirio and Tamaki, and the group files into Sir Nighteye's office to find a crowd of professionals waiting: Fat Gum, Ryukyu, and unexpectedly Shota Aizawa and Gran Torino. Nighteye's investigation, fed by everything the others gathered, has finally advanced. He convenes the room to pool information and decide how to move against a small organization called the Shie Hassaikai.

Unbreakable carries Eijiro to victory over the enhanced thug, who is then sealed away inside Fat Gum's body.

Fat Gum notes that the recovered weapon was no ordinary gun and that nothing like a Quirk-disabling drug has crossed his desk before.

The agencies employing Izuku, Ochaco, Tsuyu and Eijiro all assemble at the Nighteye Agency to plan a response to the Shie Hassaikai.
