Wham Episodes from Ignited Spark
Unmarked Spoilers in all entries
- Chapter 14 - Storms (Part 1): The Villain Consortium initiates the attack at the USJ. It's confirmed that they were the ones who stole the Trigger gallons from the Humarise cell that was stationed in Japan, and Nine gave a syringe filled with the drug to all the villains at the place (over a hundred or so of them), and by the end of the chapter, he orders them to inject with it, leaving Aizawa and the students surrounded by an army of villains with their Quirks powered up to eleven. And if that wasn't bad enough, is highly implied (and eventually confirmed on the following chapter) that the hooded figure standing alongside Nine, Slice and the Nomu at the plaza is Hood, the High End Nomu that nearly killed Endeavor during the Pro Hero arc.
- Chapter 17 - Aftermath: All for One makes his appearance on the story. Except, he is not on his crippled state, with his head covered in scar-tissue, but his previous one, with white hair and red eyes, which means somehow the mastermind got his hand on Quirk that reversed all the damage from his fight with All Might. He also reveals that while Aoyama failed the entrance exam, he still has a mole inside U.A, and this person was problably at the USJ fighting against the Consortium to keep their disguise. And is confirmed that Hood is actually a merge between Muscular and the unnamed cagefighter.
- Chapter 18 - Realization: All Might confirms that All for One's corpse was destroyed following their fight six years prior, which raises questions over how the villain is not only alive, but very healthy. Meanwhile, Teko reveals himself to be an old guard member of the Yakuza, and discretly decides to gather information about the Consortium with his contacts of the Shie Hassaikai, who also reveal that his son is working alongside Overhaul.
- Chapter 23 - Eri: The ties of the Kendo family with the Yakuza are revealed to run deeper than just Teko, when is all but confirmed that Tenohira and Hashuku met Eri's mother, the Boss' daughter, since they notice the family resemblance between the two of them. Meanwhile, the Consortium welcomes the newest member of their organization: Camie Utsushimi, who just completed her assignement of following and compilling a list of all the personal information about Class 1-A students, from their adresseses, to their routines, everything, giving the villains more insight into their new enemies' lives.
- Chapter 30 - Round One, Part Two: The Consortium receives new recruits, the Wild Villains and the Volcano Thieves, and they also receive prospect of an alliance with the Meta Liberation Army. Liking the direction where his organization is heading, Nine orders Kurogiri to warn the Doctor that he is ready to undergo another procedure, this time to receive two new Quirks. In the meantime, it's revealed the group in under surveillance of the Naruhata Vigilantes, who received the addition of Gentle, La Brava and Ippan Josei and are led by an unknown figure. With the information at hand, the vigilantes start to prepare in order to counter the Consortium's next scheme.
- Chapter 31 - Sparks, Shadows, Explosions and Gravity: Just as Bakugo is about to hit Izuku with a potentially mortal attack, Izuku unlocks a new facade of his Quirk:Elemental Absorption and Power Copying, and he successfully freezes Bakugo in a replica of Todoroki's ice.
- Chapter 32 - Reflection, Tough Calls, and Cheerleaders: The vigilantes dive deeper into the information they adquired and find out more about All for One's plans for Nine and the Consortium. All for One is building a machine that that will let him to insert multiple quirks in people all at once without the drawbacks or surgeries that the body needs, and due to Nine's physically weak condintion, he has also been written off as a failed test subject. They also reveal that All for One is connected to an organization called "The Inner Circle", which seems to be a massive villain nerwork operating in Japan and outside of it. Izuku finds out that his Quirk is causing his cells to degenerate (similarly to Nine) which could lead to death if not properly treated. Meanwhile, Recovery Girl questions Miwa and Taiyo over Ochako's parentage. And we finally find out what is going on with Daikoku Yaoyorozu. The man is indeed, corrupt, close friends with Re-Destro and a member of the Inner Circle, but it goes deeper than that. His teleporting chauffeur, Skip, is actually Rody Soul, who had his Quirk switched by All for One and Daikoku himself is none other than Flect Turn, and he seems to have his own plans for the machine that All for One is building. He promptly kills Rapt Tokage upon discovering his duplicity and seems to be close to finding out about the vigilantes involvement.
- Chapter 33 - Flames and Vestiges: It's left very clear from a conversation between Yukiri and Kanshi that the Hero Commission is also part of the Inner Circle, and that they are backing up a man who is the self-proclaimed "Future Prime Minister of Japan". During his match against Itsuka and Nejire, Shoto discovers that it wasn't Rei that gave him his scar, but that he had it before even meeting Momo when they were young. Shoto eventually realizes that the events of the night were far different than what he remembered: He didn't startled his mother and caused her to burn him with boiling water. He walked on his mother trying to kill Endeavor, and the experience was so traumatizing that he ended up surprassing everything until this day. After unleashing his flames, he and Momo concede the fight to Itsuka and Nejire. However, upon their way to see Recovery Girl, they are greeted by the prime minister candidate that Kanshi mentioned earlier, who is none other than Mugen Shigaraki, All for One himself.
- Chapter 34 - Clover Rising (Part 1): Katsuki's actions prior to and during the Sports Festival lead to him being expelled from UA's hero course and sent to General Studies, effectively making him Demoted to Extra.
- Chapter 35 - Clover Rising (Part 2): Despite being part of a Breather Arc, lots of twists happen on this one. We finally get to know what exactly is the connection between the Kendos and the Yakuza. Teko is the co-founder of the Shie Hassaikai, and from Overhaul's talk, he and Tenohira were promised to each other before he severed ties with the organization. Teko attempts to exert authority over Chisaki, only for the villain pull the rug on him and reveal that thanks to Teko's interference, now he is indebted to the Shie Hassaikai and now his family is once again tied to them. While meeting with the MLA, Nine gains an ally with Curious, who considers him a far better leader than Re-Destro and promises to help him in whatever goal he wishes, starting with a slander campaign against Izuku. Miwa and Taiyo meet with Nagant, who is revealed to have been in polyamorus relationship with them before she killed the President and forced them to move to Musutafu, and Miwa makes the decision to reveal Ochako's true parentage, whether Nagant consents or not. The Inner Circle attempt to ambush the Vigilantes while they extract Knuckleduster goes south, with the whole team escaping, and Hawks is revealed to be one of them, acting as their mole inside the Hero Commission. And we finally find out the identity of Leader: Oboro Shirakumo, who somehow not only survived the Garvey incident, but managed to escape All for One experiments, despite losing his Quirk in the process. He and Hawks make plans to bring All Might and Eraserhead into the mix and expose the truth about the Inner Circle soon enough. And in regard to the main characters, Ochako reveals to Melissa that she kissed Izuku, while Melissa reveals she's planning to transfer to UA (and gets some small Ship Tease with Ochako in the process). Ochako notices she's getting pink hair, just like Nagant. The final scene of the chapter is Izuku having accidentally pinned Itsuka on his bed, their faces inches apart.
- Chapter 36 - Clover Rising (Part 3): Bad news: Aoyama and his family are finally discovered: hospitalized after an attack, likely by All For One. Good news: the Clover finally forms, as Izuku, Ochako, and Itsuka meet up on Dagobah beach before sunrise to finally clear the air. They agree to start dating each other, while still trying to process matters concerning Nejire. Also, Hisashi seems to be dating Midnight now, to his and Inko's clear surprise. Unexpected news: at the end of the chapter, another Flash Forward is shown revealing a number of future developments:
- Katsuki becomes a police detective, and is on good(ish) terms with the Midoriya's and their families, even training Katsuma's sister (who's currently in UA).
- 1-A, 1-B, and their loved ones all live in the same neighborhood, New Heights Alliance, which is hidden behind holograms and a one-way dome (courtesy of Hatsume) to keep reporters out. Several couples are confirmed amongst the class, including Tenya/Yui, Mashiaro/Tooru (who's pregnant), Momo/Kyouka, Mina/Eijirou, Setsuna/Hanta, and Fumikage/Reiko.
- Eri knows Midnight as 'Grandma Nemuri', and Izuku is in a leg brace.
- It's confirmed that 'Team Clover' has a fourth member... Melissa, who's America's Number One Hero, piloting a suit of Powered Armor called Hercules. Also, one of the three is pregnant.
- Nejire doesn't appear at all... and Izuku's words imply that something happened to her to keep her from being with them. And Itsuka and Ochako had visited a hospital for some somber reason...
- Also, Eri's been practicing her Quirk/releasing its pent-up energy by turning Gūdo back into a puppy repeatedly (four times at least), despite being told not to.
- Chapter 37 - The Horny Beach Episode: Despite being a Breather Episode for the students of Class A and Class B, there are still many things behind the scenes taking form. Katsuma and Mahoro officially enter the story with their father enrolling them in Teko's classes. Inko reveals to Toshinori that she figured out his double life as All Might before kissing him, making their relationship official. It's revealed that Ingenium was left in a coma after being attacked by the Hero Killer. Ms. Joke gives Aizawa information about villains disguising themselves as Shiketsu students, which explains Camie's attire. It also turns out that she's part of the Vigilante group as well, passing information to Shirakumo about Aizawa going to Hosu for the Hero Killer case, suggesting he "shoots his shot" there. Not only is HPSC President Kanshi working under All for One with the identity of High General Intelli, but Neito Monoma is her younger half-brother, and may very well be the UA mole. But the biggest moment comes at the end when Melissa finally comes to UA, but not in the support course, rather the Hero Course; specifically, replacing Bakugo in Class 1-A.
- Chapter 42 - Stars and Movements: We find out who was the MLA leader killed in the previous chapter: Re-Destro, and he died at the hands of the Hero Killer, who was seemingly aware of the villain's secret identity. With his death, Curious prepares to make her move and seize control of the MLA. In other villain news, we find who are the villains working alongside Camie and pretending to be students from Shiketsu: Inasa Yoarashi and Seiji Shishikura. Both boys, however, are unaware that they are simply being manipulated by Camie to get close to All for One, and the truth about Camie's case of Adaptational Villainy is revealed: Camie is being possessed by Queen Bee.
