Chapter 16

Know Your Enemies (思い知れ敵, Omoishire Teki) is the sixteenth chapter of Kōhei Horikoshi's Boku no Hero Academia.

Summary
After defeating the villains at the Flood Zone, Izuku, Minoru and Tsuyu successfully escape the Flood Zone. Tsuyu wonders what their next course of action should be with Izuku suggesting that they should try and call for help. Tsuyu then notes that their teacher Shouta is fighting a large group of villains in the Central Plaza. Izuku then says that they should watch their teacher battling and when there are openings, they should jump in and help in order to relieve their teacher's burden.

At the Landslide Zone, Shouto Todoroki easily defeats the villains there by freezing them all.

At the Mountain Zone, Denki, Momo and Kyouka battle the villains there. Momo creates an insulator sheet to protect herself and Kyouka, allowing Denki to discharge a great amount of electricity, which electrocutes all the villains, defeating them.

At the Central Plaza, Shouta continues fighting the villains and finally faces the ringleader, Tomura Shigaraki. Shouta manages to strike Tomura, but Tomura grabs Shouta's elbow and starts disintegrating it. Shouta punches Tomura and knocks him down, then defeats two villains to attempted to attack him. Suddenly, a monstrous villain appears behind Shouta.

Near the exit of the USJ, Black Mist and No. 13 battle. However, Black Mist defeats No. 13 by warping No. 13's Quirk against himself, causing No. 13 to start turning to dust, which incapacitates No. 13. Tenya begins running towards the exit with Black Mist in pursuit. As Black Mist appears before Tenya, Mezou jumps into Black Mist, stopping Black Mist and allowing Tenya to continue running towards the exit.

Izuku, Tsuyu and Minoru reach the Central Plaza, but are shocked to see that their teacher Shouta is severely wounded and on the ground due to being defeated by the monstrous villain. Tomura asks the Heroes to tell All Might that he is wanted by Artificial Human "Noumu".
