Chapter 219

Go! Slidin' Go! (ゴー！スライディン・ゴー！) is the two hundred nineteenth chapter of Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia.

Synopsis
Katsuki Bakugo and Shoto Todoroki arrive on the scene to confront the villains who stole several belongings from innocent bystanders. While the two heroes approach the wannabe villains, All Might directs multiple civilians away from the battle scene. Shoto tells the villains that they shouldn't steal people's belongings and forms a Giant Ice Wall to block off any means of escape for the villains. However, the snow Villain easily breaks through Shoto's ice with his snow Quirk. The snow villain proceeds to explain that his group has studied the area's patrol patterns to prepare a getaway robbery without any hassle.

Katsuki and Shoto then taunt the villains with sarcasm, much to the snow villain's annoyance. The man ends up revealing that his Quirk allows him to control carbonated water, adding on that he's been preparing for an opportunity at getting away with his misdeeds. With that being said, the villains try to escape, only for Katsuki to take out most of the villains with his outstanding prowess and technique. The explosive hero calls out the nuisances for putting up a low-effort fight, proceeding to blast himself straight towards the snow villain.

The snow villain retaliates by shooting multiple shots of carbonated water directly at Katsuki, catching the young hero off-guard in the process. Katsuki struggles with evading the villain's carbonated water bullets as the latter tears up multiple sections of the street. All Might suddenly notice a young woman taking photos of the fight, unaware of what's happening as of now. One of the water bullets slices a lamppost in half and one of its ends nearly crushes the woman. All Might takes action by pulling the woman out of the way as his pupils continue to hold off the snow villain's attacks. Katsuki calls out All Might for his reckless actions, knowing that he'll end up getting killed if he keeps putting himself into danger.

Shoto notes that the snow villain's technique might bring further damage to the city, leaving the young man with no choice but to unleash his full power. Shoto quickly charges up a combined attack of fire and ice, launching a powerful blast that effectively knocks the villain out of commission. With the villain defeated, S Shoto remarks that his performance wasn't so bad. Katsuki angrily points out that the move "Icy-Hot" performed was the same one he did during his fight with Izuku during the U.A. Sports Festival. As the duo share a rather heated conversation about the battle, All Might and Sliding Go come up to the two students. Sliding Go notices that the defeat of villains was thanks to the dynamic of Katsuki and Shoto, leading to him to praise the latter two for their efforts. All Might follows up by congratulating his students for making their first debut as true Pro Heroes.

Meanwhile, the Meta Liberation Army have managed to track the source of the League of Villains' black market supplies. The Detnerat Company CEO points out that this source has been responsible for proving the league with weaponry/gadgets suitable for their destructive needs. One of the Liberation members points out that the guards have returned with a badly beaten-up Giran. The member also notes that their plans are all for the sake of Destro. The CEO admits that he recognizes Giran as the main source for recruiting new members for the league, taunting the latter with mockery. Giran responds by stating that he's always resented the CEO for "making a mess" for his black market company. The broker goes to explain that he's not willing to work with those that he despises and points out that if the CEO wants to find the whereabouts of the league, he needs to "try askin' yourself where you went wrong in life". This irritates the CEO, who responds with a disturbing expression that indicates the "start of a fruitful business relationship."

A flashback shows that about 1 month ago, before the Hero Billboard Chart Ratings, the League of Villains (excluding Dabi and Ujiko) are badly injured by the colossal Gigantomachia, who questions his master for why he decided to choose these freaks for rescuing him out of jail while tearing up emotionally. Tomura Shigaraki shoots a furious glare at the monstrous being while Twice begs the latter for mercy.
