Chapter 73 (Vigilantes)

The Queen is Born is the seventy-third chapter of Hideyuki Furuhashi and Betten Court's My Hero Academia Vigilantes.

Summary
On the streets, passers-by are shocked by the explosion that just happened. Seeing people begin to gather, Number 6 tells Queen Pop that it is time for her performance to begin.

Free to do what she wants, Queen Pop continues to cause explosions with her Bomb Bee, as she uses her Queen Bee to hack phones and televisions in order to many people as possible can see her live show. To all of them she says to pay attention for his imminent performance: The presentation of her remix of the Marukane Department Store – Inferno. To the beat of her own music, she continues using her explosive insects to cause a ton of destruction, rampaging the city block. Kazuho friends and acquaintances appear, looking up and wondering what's wrong with her.

Miu and Yu try to talk some sense into her to get her away from the explosions, but Kazuho replies that all that destruction is incredible and it make her feel really good, and uses his bees to knock down a large billboard on them. It’s seems Miu can't get away in time but luckily Koichi appears and manages to save Miu’s life.

Koichi is completely taken aback by what is happening. He doesn't know what’s going on with Kazuho but he can't let her continue causing damage so, after putting Miu safe, he immediately rushes off towards Kazuho, using his Slide and Glide Quirk to jump in the air and with his hand outstretched to stop her. Pops stares at him in the face and mocks that the desperate and clingy act that he’s putting on is a little too late.

She then proceeds to throw several bomb bees in the direction of Koichi, exploding around him and making him lose his balance in mid-air, while Number 6, who was observing everything, proclaims it's over for Koichi, as she is no longer the Kazuho that he remembers but something greater.

While Koichi is in his free fall, he manages to locks eye with her as she sticks out her blacked tonguee, indicating that she has Trigger on her body, and says to him “I hate you”. Koichi is in shock and he begins to plummet to the ground. Pop considers that her "performance" is over and tells everyone present that the next one gonna be a surprise, as a gigantic explosion erupts and she vanishes.

Koichi is unconscious after landing on a pile of garbage in a dark alleyway. From the shadows a person in a trench coat emerges, approaching him.
