Chapter 133

Chase, Kirishima! is the one hundred and thirty third chapter of Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia.

Summary
Eijirou Kirishima manages to protect Tamaki Amajiki. However, Tamaki manages to stand up with no injuries from the bullet, which shocks the man who fired the bullet. Tamaki attempts to capture the criminal who fired the bullet, but is not able to activate his Quirk. The man begins running away while Eijirou and Fatgum chase after him. Fatgum orders Tamaki to stay and guard the area while Tamaki replies that while he is not injured, he cannot activate his Quirk, which surprises Fatgum. Eijirou manages to catch up to the man. Eijirou criticizes the man for running away instead of helping his friends. The man is cornered due to running into a dead end. The man decides to fight and uses his Quirk, which causes three small blades to appear on his arm. The man attacks Eijirou with his bladed arm but is unable to cut through Eijirou's Hardening. Eijirou counters with Red Counter, a Hardened fist to the man's face, which causes the man to tumble to the ground. As Eijirou orders him to surrender, the man starts crying because of his weak Quirk which prevented him from having the courage to save his brothers in the first place. Eijirou understands the man's feelings and helps him to his feet. However, the man dislikes Eijirou for thinking that he could empathize with his feelings and injects a drug into himself. The man starts screaming in pain while Eijirou tries calming him. Suddenly, dozens of long sharp blades shoot out from the man and pierce Eijirou.

Meanwhile, the Police Force has rounded up the man's brothers thanks to Tamaki. As Tamaki surmises that his Quirk will not activate due to the bullet, one of the criminals tells Tamaki to die, causing Tamaki to sulk. The policeman tells Tamaki that he can leave the rest to them. Tamaki has a bad feeling about the situation.

In the alley, the man's long sharp blades start cutting the area he is in. Eijirou managed to defend himself from the man's blades thanks to his Hardening. Eijirou assumes that the man used a drug to power up his Quirk. Eijirou cannot allow the man's sharp blades to hit the streets and decides to end the fight in the alley. Eijirou tells the civilians nearby to take cover away from the blades. The man attacks Eijirou with his sharp blades that cuts through Eijirou's Hardening, causing Eijirou to bleed. The man yells that the time of Heroes is at an end and the time of social outcasts has come. The man feels empowered and decides to go and save his brothers, noting that Eijirou is in the way. Eijirou sees that his current Hardening is not strong enough to defend himself against the man's long sharp blades. Eijirou thinks back to what All Might said about using a strong brute force technique to compliment his Hardening. Back at Class 1-A's Heights Alliance talking with Denki Kaminari, Katsuki Bakugou, Hanta Sero, and Fumikage Tokoyami, Eijirou notes that they have Quirks better suited than his and have a lot more versatility than his Hardening. Katsuki mentions that Eijirou said at the Sports Festival that he would not crumble and reminds him that All Might had an unbreakable will during the Kamino Incident.

Taking All Might's unbreakable will and the Quirk training he went through before the Hero License Exam into account, Eijirou focuses all his energy and spirit in his Hardening and pushes it to the max. The man's long sharp blades attack Eijirou but shatter when they hit Eijirou's tough Hardening, which shocks the man. Eijirou has managed to activate his maximum hardening level: Red Riot Unbreakable, which has left Eijirou's body extremely hard and rugged, causing him to have a monstrous appearance.
