Chapter 273

The Thrill of Destruction (のボルテージ) is the two hundred and seventy-third chapter of Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia.

Summary
Despite Deku's best efforts to push back the decay, it continues with no sign of stopping, causing Uravity to remark that this is not some sort of impact. When Froppy comments that everything is turning to dust, Deku thinks back to when he met Tomura Shigaraki in the mall before going to Training Camp, and how he told him how his Quirk worked when he grabbed him by the throat, and he quickly realized this was his doing. Shoto uses his Heaven-Piercing Ice Wall to try and stop the decay, but that too fails. Burnin orders everyone to fall back and the Heroes do so while trying to escape with the civilians. Burnin tries reaching out to the Hospital Raid team hoping for a response on the situtation, but receives none.

Back at what was left of the lab and hospital, Tomura overlooks the destruction he caused before noticing the large machine behind him with a smoking hole in it. He opens it up and sees that the Quirk-Destroying Drugs are most of them ruined, and after all the time Kyudai Garaki spent trying to mass-reproduce them. He also notes that this will be hard on Overhaul when he finds out. He hears a voice telling him to 'destroy', and he picks up Kyudai's phone, realizing he now control his Quirk when he touches stuff. He also realizes that the reason why he has awoken is because of the Heroes fighting the Paranormal Liberation Front. He calls Gigantomachia and orders him to bring everyone to the city, because he is ready to destroy everything. Gigantomachia responds by roaring.

At the Gunga Moutain Villa, Fat Gum notices Tsukuyomi flying away with Hawks and he informs him that there is support on standby at the rear. One Hero asks Cementoss if he is alright and he says yes, and that he will
