Chapter 19

Shoto, Katsuki, and Eijiro keep the pressure on the League. With half its body locked in ice, Nomu loses its grip and All Might tears free, while Katsuki holds Kurogiri down and warns him against trying anything clever. Tomura orders the creature to deal with Katsuki and recover their gateway.

Nomu stands, its frozen half crumbling off, and the missing wounds and limbs simply grow back. It swings at Katsuki, All Might shields the boy, and in the shuffle Kurogiri slips loose and returns to Tomura's side. The rescue prompts Tomura to start talking about force, arguing that heroes and villains alike use it to protect their own, and that Symbol of Peace is nothing but a label for sanctioned brutality that breeds more of the same. All Might calls it rubbish. The two throw themselves at each other and trade blows, and once he sees his strikes barely registering, All Might pushes past his own hundred percent and lands a hit that hurls Nomu clear out of the facility, ending it. Tomura begins to tear up.

Shoto's ice creates the opening All Might needs to escape Nomu's hold. The creature is confirmed to hold multiple Quirks rather than one. To overwhelm Shock Absorption, All Might delivers over three hundred consecutive blows, every one of them above his full output, and defeats Nomu.

The chapter runs nineteen pages, appeared in issue 51 of 2014 on November 17, and was collected in volume 3, with Episode 12 adapting it as part of the U.S.J. arc. Its cover groups Shoto, Katsuki, Ochaco, Eijiro, Izuku, All Might, Kurogiri, and Nomu, and a sketch version of that art is also archived. The featured Quirks are One For All, Shock Absorption, Super Regeneration, and Warp Gate, and Katsuki's Grenadier Bracers appear as well, as the U.S.J. Incident and the students' fight alongside All Might continue.
