Story Impact

 * It is revealed Eizo Tanuma is alive after his attack from Number 6, but in critical condition with no signs of waking up.
 * Kazuho's condition has stabilized, but still remains unconscious.
 * The Narufest gang learn about Koichi and Kazuho's situation from the Hotta Brothers.
 * Soga Kugisaki and his crew continue to watch over Kazuho's hospital, as well as using Midnight as a mediator to provide the police with any information they know.
 * Koichi keeps his distance, watching over said hospital and preparing for when he needs to act.
 * He has also become fluent enough in his Quirk that he can use it to more freely fly and hop across buildings.
 * Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi receives an arrest warrant for Koichi, in order to force him to surrender and comply with their demands.
 * He calls in assistance from Pro Heroes Ingenium, Best Jeanist, Edgeshot, and Eraser Head, to apprehend him when negotiation talks sour.
 * It is also revealed that despite the Heroes wanting to help Koichi, he continues to evade them due to not wanting to end up in another one of Number 6's traps, having already infiltrated the police once.
 * Number 6 uses the in-fighting between the Heroes, Police, and Vigilantes to execute his ultimate plan: "Operation Anonymous".
 * Phase 1: Using Electromagnetic Waves to shut off all the power and communications throughout Naruhata, forcing everyone to become disorientated.
 * Phase 2: Blocking off all the roads with a series of minor disruptions, caused by a group of mindless drones he is controlling known as the Anonymous.
 * Phase 3: Use the Anonymous to cause trouble in Naruhata through minor aggressions, such as vandalism, to create a sense of unease amongst the public, while keeping damage to a minimum to prevent the appearance of All Might.
 * Phase 4: The Anonymous, who were created using Bomber Villain cells, use their Self-Detonation Quirks to overpower the Heroes and Police.
 * Phase 5: Keep the Anonymous wandering outside the hospital, while he heads inside and finally kills Kazuho.
 * Koichi and the Pro Heroes cease fire on their chase to help the civilians and solve the issues.
 * Eraser Head stays behind to fight a group of Anonymous while Koichi re-convenes with Soga.
 * Soga and Naomasa come up with a plan to take down Number 6: while Naomasa and his Police Force confront him, Soga, and then later Koichi, overwhelm him with stray shots so that he'll overuse his Quirk, allowing the Police to catch him off guard.
 * Number 6 manages to escape and is forced to choose between quickly and secretly killing Kazuho, or openly killing everyone.
 * Naomasa orders Koichi to fly off and summon All Might, however he decides to stay back and face Number 6 himself.
 * Number 6 reveals that his "Rokuro Nomura" face was inspired by Koichi's.
 * Koichi figures out that his well-timed repulsion blasts can neutralize the power of Number 6's explosive punches, and uses that to keep him distracted until everyone else is safe.
 * Number 6 develops Crawler Style in order to catch Koichi, who was able to outmatch him at every moment.
 * It is revealed that Koichi is able to produce his repulsion force field anywhere on his body, including his back.
 * Number 6's explosion punch Super Move is revealed to be called Knuckle Bomb.
 * Due to his years as a vigilante, combined with his natural subconscious reflexes, Koichi is able to counter and defend every one of Number 6's attacks, remaining consistently faster than him and becoming his perfect foil.
 * Number 6 transforms his body into a monstrous beast, known as the Hi-Crawler (as well as Phase 6 of Operation Anonymous), which is capable of bypassing the limitations of Overclock, allowing him to remain in its acceleration state.
