Chapter 298

Sounds of Collapse (れゆく) is the two hundred and ninety-eighth chapter of Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia.

Summary
After the events of Deika City, a Twice Double of Rikiya Yotsubashi continued to live the life as the “President of Detnerat” while the real Re-Destro kept up his work with the Paranormal Liberation Front. At the same time as the Jaku Hospital Raid, the Re-Destro Double accepted a joint venture with the Hero Public Safety Commission, knowing they were suspicious of him but still couldn’t ignore the potential of his products. He uses it as an opportunity for a surprise attack on the building, killing and injuring several members before dissolving away from his injuries, saying that they desire “order without order”, genuine freedom, and that the seeds have already been sown.

Six hours after the attack on Tartarus prison, All For One takes command of a series of emergency aircrafts, which he uses to send the Near High-End Nomus, as well as the escaped prisoners from Tartarus, to attack 7 prisons, including the Shian, Bagu, and Kuin prisons. In the process, prisoners from 6 of them manage to escape, allowing them to run loose making it harder for the authorities to track him.

In their new hideout, All For One in Tomura Shigaraki's body asks the remaining League Of Villains members to watch over his body while he rests. Spinner looks on sullenly at All For One, telling him he’s not the one he chose to follow, but All For One insists he has the best intentions for Tomura’s wishes, and that once his body is perfected, their desires will be achieved.

Two days later, Katsuki Bakugo wakes up to see Minoru Mineta, Hanta Sero, Rikido Sato, and Toru Hagakure excitingly proclaiming that he’s awake, while he yells at them to tell him what happened, where they tell him that nearly every injured hero in the battle was taken to “Central Hospital”, which has cutting edge and top notch medical treatment. Katsuki asks them what happened to everyone else, including Izuku Midoriya, Shoto Todoroki, Shota Aizawa, Nejire Hado and Enji Todoroki.

Gran Torino is shown to be alive and in critical care, same with Shota, with the doctor mentioning that they could’ve ended up much worse if not for those who prioritized their safety. Hizashi Yamada, who is with him, starts to mourn over Nemuri, when Shota asks how the students are doing.

Meanwhile Momo, Mezo, Eijiro, and Mina visit Shoto, who sees a huge crowd of people trying to get into the hospital to see his father. His friends try to reassure him, revealing they also saw Dabi's message as people try to get answers regarding Endeavor's relation to Dabi and what he will do next when he wakes up. Shoto thinks back to when Starservant was arrested and how he claimed Endeavor would bring destruction to everyone. He remembered how Dabi was able to overpower him with his flames, realizing they were full of hatred. He also realizes that he had been watching them this entire time, slowly destroying himself and anyone else who got caught up just to bring down their father. In that moment, Shoto realizes Dabi was him, at least before he chose to accept his fire at the U.A. Sports Festival. He also realizes that Endeavor can't defeat Dabi, he has to. Just then his siblings, Fuyumi and Natsuo come in to the room, where Shoto's friends introduce themselves and explain that Shoto's throat is burnt so he can't speak. Shoto then sees someone else come into the room, which shocks him.

Katsuki gets out of his bed and starts running down the hallway to find Izuku, with his friends trying to stop him. He angrily says that he will kill Izuku if he dies, as the others explain that while everyone is conscious, Izuku is not. He is shown heavily bandaged with All Might by his bedside with no clear signs of waking up.
