"A Hero is a symbol. A Villain is a statement. I am just a man who refuses to stop breathing."
In the golden age of the Symbol of Peace, the world forgot about the shadows. They forgot that before the Quirk Registry and the License Exams, there was a secret war fought in the back alleys of history.
Shirō Kazami was seventeen when his life ended. He wasn't killed by a villain; he was "repurposed" by Destron, a shadow conglomerate funded by the underworld's greatest Kingpin. They took his family, they took his future, and they replaced his flesh with high-tensile steel and cold hydraulics.
Now, twenty years later, the world is obsessed with Rankings and Quirks. The "Pros" stand by and wait for cameras before saving a life. But as the shadows of the past begin to crawl back into the light, so does the man the underground once called the Top 1 Vigilante.
He doesn't have a Quirk. He doesn't have a License. He has 26 Secrets and a single, unwavering decree: A human life is worth more than Peace, Justice, or the Law.
The Hurricane is roarring again. And this time, even All Might won't be able to ignore the man in the red scarf.
