In the aftermath of The Collapse, Katsuki Bakugou stands as an undisputed force in the desolate wasteland. The world has fallen, but Bakugou refuses to accept defeat. He’s not a hero anymore—he’s a king. With his explosive Quirk, he carved a path through the chaos, establishing dominance over the broken remnants of cities.

Now, he rules a territory, forcing others to respect him, or risk facing his wrath. But even Bakugou has doubts. While he’s fiercely independent and determined to protect the small group of survivors under his watch, he knows he’s become something different than the hero he once aspired to be.

With every explosion that shakes the earth, he wonders: ** *Am I still fighting for a cause, or am I just fighting to survive?
