Synopsis#
Forest Training Camp Arc#
Shota Aizawa brings his students to a mountainous area in order to train under the Wild, Wild Pussycats. When the students arrive, Pixie-Bob and Mandalay try to introduce themselves as half of the Pussycat's team but are interrupted by one of the students, Izuku Midoriya, who is a fan that excitedly recognizes the Pussycats and explains their history, to their shock. As Izuku mentions how long they have been active, this irritates Pixie-Bob, who angrily seizes him by the face and states she is still eighteen years old at heart. Mandalay explains that Class 1-A is still far away from the base camp and will have to travel there through the Beast's Forest. She gives them three hours to reach their goal or else they will not receive lunch.
The students try to run back onto their bus but Pixie-Bob uses her Quirk to push them off of the mountaintop and into the forest. Pixie-Bob creates earth monsters from dirt clods using her Quirk. They act as obstacles for the young students to traverse through Beast's Forest, giving the landscape its name. She is initially surprised when she reads a high energy alert across her monitor. Izuku, Shoto Todoroki, Katsuki Bakugo, and Tenya Ida work together to destroy the first beast.[7]
Almost eight hours later, Class 1-A finally makes their way to the base camp. Battered and bruised, the students are confused on how it took them nearly eight hours to complete a three-hour journey. Mandalay taunts them and says she meant it would take the Pussycat's three hours. Pixie-Bob admits she is still impressed and takes a special liking to the four boys who destroyed the first beast.
Afterward, Pixie-Bob and Mandalay serve the students dinner. Pixie-Bob is surprised how crazily some of the students act because of their hunger. She explains that this will be the only night that they will cook for the students, and so they should enjoy it. Later on, Ryuko joins Shino in her office with Izuku as they discuss Kota Izumi's tragic past. Ryuko explains that Kota's parents were heroes who were murdered in the line of duty.[8]
The next day, the full Wild, Wild Pussycats team unites to train both Class 1-A and Class 1-B. Pixie-Bob and her teammates all explain their Quirks and how it will help train all forty students at once. Pixie-Bob says her Quirk can be used to build the perfect training terrain for the hero hopefuls. That evening, Pixie-Bob and Ragdoll give students the ingredients to cook their own curry.[9]
On the third day of training, Pixie-Bob announces there will be a test of courage that night. When the night arrives, Pixie-Bob explains that Class 1-B will be trying to scare Class 1-A students during a hike through the forest.
During the event, Pixie-Bob notices the smell of the forest burning. Then she is suddenly attacked by Magne and Spinner of the League of Villains. Before she can react, Magne uses her Magnetism Quirk on her, drawing Pixie-Bob to her iron rod to knock her unconscious.[10] Tiger and Mandalay fight to protect her and the students, until the League of Villains decides to leave after fulfilling their objective, which is to kidnap Katsuki Bakugo.[11] Her teammate Ragdoll is also kidnapped.[12]

As he gives out tea, Rikido Sato asks why the Pussycats have decided to pay them a visit. Pixie-Bob replies that they came to celebrate Ragdoll's reinstatement, although as an office lady of sorts. Pixie-Bob explains that they received a message from Tartarus regarding Ragdoll's stolen Quirk by All For One. It is being investigated to uncover the Quirks he has taken.
Before leaving, the Pussycats explain that despite everything, they’re coming off their hiatus because there are still many fans who support them and want to see them back in action.[14]

Next year, by the end of March, thanks to the police investigations, and the information leaked by Hawks, who was acting as a spy, the Hero Public Safety Commission organize the Heroes and the Police Force to take down the Paranormal Liberation Front.
The Pussycats participate with other heroes in a meeting where Detective Naomasa informs them about Dr. Kyudai Garaki, the current board chairman of Jaku General Hospital, is an ally of Tomura Shigaraki and the creator of the Nomu, and that there is a section of the hospital that only he can access. When Naomasa shows them the photo of a little nomu next to Dr. Garaki, Pixie-Bob cannot contain the unpleasant impression that the creature causes on her.[15][16]
The Pussycats are part of the team of heroes led by Endeavor in charge of raiding on Jaku General Hospital. While one group, of which the Pussycats are part, are in charge of evacuating patients, visitors, and hospital staff from the building, another group is in charge of arresting the Doctor, although the situation gets complicated when he releases a horde of Nomu to escape to his secret laboratory and try to awaken Tomura from his stasis.[17]
Regardless, the heroes manage to defeat all the creatures, storm the laboratory, and arrest the Doctor before he could fully awaken Tomura.[18] It seemed that the mission had successfully ended, but at that moment Tomura awakens and uses his Decay. The Decay spreads through the hospital, completely disintegrating it and killing several heroes who were trying to flee. However the destruction does not stop but continues to spread. Pixie-Bob tries to use her Quirk to hold the decay back, but it doesn't work and the decay spreads to the city, forcing Tiger to help her escape.[19]

U.A. Traitor Arc#
In the aftermath of the Paranormal Liberation War, All For One has escaped from Tartarus, and proceeded to break into several more maximum security prisons, liberating the inmates. Due to the chaos inflicted by Gigantomachia and the mass breakout of prisoners, the whole country entered a state of total chaos and anarchy. In addition, many heroes resigned and called it quits because of the massive criticism of their work, and the destruction spreading unchecked. Pixie-Bob and the Wild, Wild Pussycats are some of the few heroes remaining and do their best to stop the villains and apprehend them as much as they can.
In the month that followed since the War, Pixie-Bob and the Wild, Wild Pussycats were also training Class 1-A to continue improving their Quirks while Izuku had gone rogue after he left U.A.[21]
Final War Arc#
With Tomura's completion approaching, the Heroes' plan to defeat the villains for good begins to take into effect. Knowing that All For One is keeping tabs on the Heroes through Search, his mole Yuga Aoyama and his family are utilized in order to lure him out of hiding. Their next step of the plan is to make use of Kurogiri's Warp Gate to allow them to warp themselves into the fight, to catch All For One off guard, as well as warp the villains to locations all over Japan, separating them.[22]
They successfully manage to trap the Villains and send them through their respective Warp Gates. Pixie-Bob, accompanied by her fellow Pussycat Tiger, joins the team led by Endeavor into the portal that takes them to the Gunga Mountain Ruins. While he and Hawks deal with All For One in the air, she and the other Heroes deal with the Villains that were also thrown into the portal.[23]
Everything seems to be going well as the Heroes are able to deal with most of the Villains on the ground floor, however things get worse when All For One starts to regenerate and enters the middle of the battlefield, and becomes even more complicated by the arrival of a Twice transformed Himiko Toga and Dabi. Himiko's infinite Twice Doubles and Dabi's Blueflames prove too much trouble for the Heroes, who are forced to flee. Pixie-Bob uses her Quirk as a mud wall to try and protect everyone as they attempt to escape.[24]
As the Heroes continue trying to fend themselves off from the swarm, they soon receive backup from the Shiketsu High School students, who have arrived to join the battle. Inasa Yoarashi uses his Whirlwind to suck up the Twice Double swarm into the air. With additional reinforcements from Shiketsu, the battle at the Gunga Mountains has become the turning point with the Heroes are now at the offensive; while Inasa continues to suck up all the Twice Doubles along with Himiko among them, they proceed to throw all their long-range attacks toward All For One to prevent him from escaping. During this, Fumikage calls out to Pixie-Bob, telling her to cover him in the Earth with her Quirk as part of his plan.
Despite the arrival of reinforcements, All For One continues to overpowering the Heroes, unleashing a massive laser explosion, decimating the battlefield below. The Heroes, however, stand their ground, to keep their defense strong and continue attacking, especially now that he's stopped running away. All For One monologues while the two sides continue their back and forth assault until eventually, Fumikage emerges from the Earth.
Having built up the darkness, in conjunction with the dark clouds blocking the sunlight and the flames dying out by the rain storm, Fumikage has been amassing his Dark Shadow to reach to its monstrous peak and achieved Total Release, revealing himself before All For One. Boosted by Inasa's Whirlwind, Fumikage unleashes Black Abyss: Light of Baldur, pulverizing All For One into the ground.[25]
After the Jaku Defense Team arrives with additional reinforcements, including Gigantomachia, to assist in containing All For One, Pixie-Bob stays behind with the other group of Heroes to contain the Twice Double swarm. Despite their tides turning, it was still not enough as All For One manages to defeat all the Heroes attempting to contain him, and escapes.[26]
Meanwhile, while Endeavor and Dabi both give chase to each other, it is revealed Dabi has been internally compressing his thermal energy, and that in about ten minutes, his body will explode and cremate everything within 5 kilometers in a massive nuclear explosion, including those nearby fighting the Doubles. Dabi's internal combustion starts to take into effect as his inferno sphere starts to expand outwards, reaching the Heroes struggling against the Doubles. Tiger calls out to everyone, including Pixie-Bob, to retreat from the blast zone as fast as they can.[27] However, Shoto enters the vicinity where the Heroes are fleeing from and unleashes a full blast of his Great Glacial Aegir, completely consuming the inferno in his ice, stopping Dabi's self-destruction, and causing his fire to begin to dissipate and burn out, saving everyone.[28]
Despite this, the Heroes are still struggling to fend off against Himiko's endless Twice swarm. Pixie-Bob has been using her Earth Flow Quirk to halt them from escaping the area, but they manage to gain the upper-hand and consume her in the ocean of clones. Himiko's Sad Man's Death Parade proceeds to overpower all the Heroes in their path, as the Doubles threaten to spread their rampage further.[29]
With rage fueling her insanity, Himiko unleashes Sad Man's Legion, releasing her Doubles to the absolute extreme on a gigantic scale. The swarm becomes an ocean and completely consumes all the Heroes, Villains, and Nomu alike, and decimating the nearby city. Pixie-Bob was among those swallowed by the ocean of Doubles as it washes over everything in its path. However, Ochaco undergoes a Quirk Awakening as the ocean of Doubles suddenly bursts open with everyone starting to float through the air, thanks to her Quirk spreading between all the bodies that came into contact with each other.[30]
Thanks to Ochaco holding out against Himiko, the effects of Twice's transformation wears off as the ocean of Doubles disintegrate in the air, with Ochaco using her remaining strength to carefully ensure the exhausted and unconscious Heroes have a safe landing.[31] Shortly afterwards, the news copter broadcasting the battle arrives in the wasteland to help escort the critically injured, with Pixie-Bob escorting the unconscious Ochaco on the chopper to be taken for immediate medical treatment.[32] In the helicopter, Pixie-Bob tells the dying Ochaco they're almost at the hospital and to hold on a little longer just as she begins to wake up and remembers when she first told Izuku how the name "Deku" screams "do your best", managing to say it out loud, much to her surprise.[33]
