Chapter 165: YouTube Rewind 2025

It's time to go back, about three months ago. (Chapter 135)

Back to when I'd first left UA.

Who am I?

Ryo of course, did you miss me?

Right now, I'll recount the Deika incident, detailing exactly how the Paranormal Liberation Army was founded.

The few days after leaving UA, I was instructed by the league to lay low.

It seemed they were in dire straits following recent events.

Afterall, All for One had been imprisoned in Tartarus and they had begun to lose the support of others.

'Seems like even if I don't do anything, they're already on the verge of falling apart...'

Perhaps this very thought was to blame for jinxing everything that would come next.

Within the hour I received a text on my burner phone, it was from Shigaraki, the only person who knew this new number of mine.

I was to meet the league in Deika city, and I was to come prepared to fight.

"Baptism by fire, eh?" I scoffed, pulling out a suit that the doctor had engineered just for me.

Just like that perverted old man, the suit was horribly uncomfortable, both to put on and wear. It clung to all the wrong places and made me itch all over.

'Its definitely no hero costume...'

I bit my lip, pulling the suit's mask over my face.

Giving myself a once over, I decided to give my new disguise a test run.

I broke open one of the outlets, ripping out its insides to expose live wires.

I was in a battered old warehouse anyways, no one would miss it.

I braced myself before grabbing the wires.

In an instant, a searing pain ripples through my body.

I hiss as the feeling runs through me, settling in my chest.

There, I could feel my body heat, more and more and more until I felt like I was about to combust.

And then I took in some more.

It was only when my vision had begun to black out that I ripped my hand away from the wires.

I laid on the ground for a bit to catch my breath.

My vision was swimming and my ears were ringing, but with time it subsided.

Unfortunately, I'd have to get used to intaking massive amounts of energy like that.

My new disguise took a lot to power after all.

'Speaking of which...'

I reached out a hand and shut my eyes.

I'd done this before, I just had to expel all my energy outward.

Focus on releasing.

If I could repeat it this would mean I had successfully created an ultimate move.

'If only I could tell Cementos about this.'

My body temperature fluctuated drastically, flipping from cold to hot like someone was dunking me in an ice bath then an onsen over and over again.

But slowly, it was like my body reached an equilibrium.

My body felt cold and hot at the same time.

It was a sensation I had no words for.
