The sun had barely risen over Musutafu when the public broadcasting network began a surprise transmission. Every screen—on mobile phones, billboards, even holographic projectors in bustling city centers—blinked to the logo of the Interdimensional Judiciary Council, followed by the bold text:
The Voss Report: Unmasking Hero Society – Chapter One: The Myth of Justice
And just like that, Adrian Voss dropped the first of many bombs.
Inside U.A. High School
The faculty room was in chaos. Nezu, normally a calm and composed presence, paced wildly, tail twitching in agitation. Aizawa sat silent, arms crossed, eyes fixed on the projection as the broadcast continued.
"Let's begin with an uncomfortable truth," Voss's voice boomed. "Tomura Shigaraki, born Tenko Shimura, was the grandson of Nana Shimura, one of the top heroes of her time and a mentor to All Might. After her death, the boy fell through the cracks of a system that never checked in, never protected, and never cared. And yet we expect him to respect that very system?"
"What happened to child welfare? Psychological rehabilitation? Why was a traumatized boy allowed to fester in alleys and abandoned homes until a villain found him instead of a hero?"
The students of Class 1-A were glued to the screen in silence. Midoriya's eyes widened. Uraraka's jaw trembled. Even Bakugo, fists clenched, didn't yell this time.
Voss wasn't excusing Shigaraki's actions. He was dismantling the pedestal on which hero society stood.
Underground Hero Committee – Emergency Assembly
Underground heroes like Edgeshot, Hound Dog, and Gran Torino gathered in secret bunkers. With heroes' reputations being dissected like corpses, they had to act fast. Too many retired heroes were being named in Voss's class-action filings: negligent rescues, collateral damage, suppression of dissent, institutional abuse.
Gran Torino growled. "We didn't sign up for this circus."
"But we did sign up to protect people," murmured Edgeshot. "Maybe... Voss has a point."
The League of Villains – Now the League of Defendants
Shigaraki wasn't hiding anymore. For the first time in years, he stood in the open—no cloak, no mask, no fear. The League had established an official headquarters in Kamino, now recognized as the Defense Center for the Socially Disenfranchised, funded by Adrian's mysterious legal team and several anonymous donors from other worlds. Rumors swirled that Loki of Asgard, Doflamingo from One Piece, and even LexCorp had provided resources.
Toga, sipping tea in a black suit two sizes too large, smirked. "So… do we have legal immunity now?"
Dabi rolled his eyes. "Not exactly. We're not innocent. But we're... protected. Public figures now."
Spinner clutched a newspaper, his claws gripping the edges tightly. "People are listening to us."
Indeed, protests had begun erupting across cities—young civilians demanding reform, rehabilitation for villains who were victims first.
And most dangerous of all?
Heroes hesitated.
Voss's Office – Another Victory
Adrian Voss leaned back in a luxurious chair inside his dimensional legal office—situated between a frozen moment in time just outside Musutafu and the edge of the Mirror Realm. Here, time moved slowly. He could prepare, maneuver, and plan without interference.
A portal opened behind him.
"Done stirring the pot?" a female voice asked, echoing with layered tones.
It was Juno, his interdimensional paralegal. Former time-clerk from the Chrono-Court of Universe 99. She handed him a thick stack of scrolls.
"Hero Commission counter-suit is filed. Charges include 'willful ignorance,' 'propaganda dissemination,' and 'morality manipulation through curriculum engineering.' Next steps?"
Voss smiled faintly. "We make it personal."
Flashpoint: The Hero Commission Crumbles
The top brass at the Hero Public Safety Commission met under emergency protocols. But even as they discussed contingency plans, Voss had already leaked their sealed records—dozens of cover-ups, including incidents where promising young villains were "eliminated" rather than rehabilitated.
One video caught the world's attention:
A young boy in tattered clothing was dragged from an alley, screaming, "I didn't mean to hurt anyone!" before being silenced by a hero's quirk.
"Video verified," Voss said in an accompanying statement. "The boy? Now known as Overhaul's second-in-command."
Shifting Power – The League Rebrands
As legal victories piled up, the League of Villains officially changed its name to the Disenfranchised Protection Alliance (DPA). Shigaraki gave his first public address, not through threats—but through testimony.
He didn't smile. He didn't rant. He didn't apologize either.
He simply said:
"I never asked to be saved. But now that someone's hearing me out—I want to speak for those who never got a chance."
Even his worst enemies could feel it—the tides were turning.
Student Divides and the Dawn of Questions
At U.A., students began to question everything.
Iida struggled with his rigid code of justice.
Todoroki stared at his scarred reflection, wondering if his father would be next in line for exposure.
Midoriya stayed silent longer than ever, replaying every villain he'd fought. Not as enemies—but as people.
All Might visited the shrine of Nana Shimura and knelt.
"I failed him," he whispered.
Epilogue: The Next Move
In his dimly lit office, Voss traced a list on parchment. Names. Faces. Universes.
He crossed off:
✅ Tomura Shigaraki
✅ DPA Establishment
✅ Hero Commission Exposure
He circled the next name:
All Might / Toshinori Yagi – Emotional Liability Case (Negligent Mentorship and Prophetic Burden Imposition)
