Mumen Rider in MHA

Kamino Ward – Ground Zero

The screen flashes white.

And then—

Silence.

No sound. No movement.

Just smoke.

When the wind shifts, the crater comes into view.

The ground is scorched. Pavement melted. Buildings half-destroyed. And in the center of it all—

There is no sign of Satoru Kojima.

Kana coughs from beneath a pile of debris. Her arms are wrapped tight around her mother's unconscious body. Both of them are alive. Miraculously untouched.

But the space in front of them—

The space where he stood—is nothing but ash and fractured stone.

A single glove lies half-buried, fingers curled toward the sky.

And beside it: a cracked, burned piece of a goggle lens.

That's all.

POV: Sayaka – Hospital Nurse Station

The screen has gone still. The words "SIGNAL LOST" blink in the corner.

Sayaka's fists tremble on the desk. Her knuckles bleed from how hard she gripped the edges.

No tears fall yet. Only breathless silence.

"That wasn't supposed to be the end."

The nurse behind her whispers something, but Sayaka doesn't hear it. She just stares.

Waiting for a shape to reappear.

A silhouette.

Something.

Anything.

POV: Keiko

She doesn't move.

Her fingers hover above the touchscreen—wanting to rewind. Wanting to check if maybe… maybe he moved at the last second.

He always got up.

"You promised me you wouldn't be a hero…"

"…you liar."

POV: Miyako – Still Behind the Counter

Her face is buried in her hands. The potted flowers around her are wilted, leaves scorched from neglect and heat.

But she doesn't care.

She saw it.

She saw him stand in front of the monster.

Alone.

And still smile.

Her voice cracks in a whisper.

"Why… why didn't you run…"

---

POV: Class 1-A

The silence is unbearable.

Midoriya stares, frozen, his face pale.

Iida's glasses are fogged from tears.

Kirishima grips his arm like a lifeline.

Bakugo turns away first, biting down a scream.

Todoroki watches a long time.

Then finally says:

"He didn't fall."

Back to Kamino

Gran Torino limps into frame, dragged from under rubble by a rescue team. His face is bloodied, his body shaking.

He sees the crater.

His knees almost give out.

"No…"

"You damn fool…"

But his voice trembles.

"You did it."

Around him, rescue crews flood the street.

Heroes arrive too late.

But what they find is this:

Two civilians saved.

A monster pushed back.

And the echo of a man who wouldn't let go.

POV: The People – Montage

The skater boy paints a mural on the wall outside his alley: Helmet Guy with wings.

The fire survivors stand in vigil, holding candles in the dark.

A nurse silently bows beside an elderly patient watching the news.

Kids across Japan ride bikes with makeshift armor taped to their jackets.

---

POV: Satoru's Mother – Hospital Room

She turns the screen off slowly.

The hand that once trembled is now still.

She closes her eyes.

"You stubborn boy…"

"You did it anyway."

Final Image – Kamino Crater

Ash still falls.

The goggle fragment lies in the dirt, reflecting a bit of sunlight.

Wind brushes over the street. A single white flower from Miyako rolls across the cracked road.

No body.

No body at all.

Just proof of where he stood.

Proof that he did.
