I love class 1A and 1B are up against each other! Let's go!
Endeavor is deeply flawed and I hope he goes through a huge amount of growth, but he's also crazy powerful!

End of Endeavor v Nomu into Class A v Class B showdown, ending the middle of the second round battles!
Endeavor is genuinely a fascinating character. Up until now we’ve only seen him as the abusive father and clawing his way up to be #2 never measuring up to All Might. But with All Might retiring he’s thrust into the limelight as the #1 hero, forced to be in charge and find his own path. I adore that Shoto is genuinely worried for him. No matter what complicated feelings he may possess for his him he’s still his father. I appreciate Todoroki’s sweet sister Fuyumi trying to reach out and have a family meal with all of them. But I also appreciate Natsuo’s unwillingness to forgive him after all they put them through. We even get the first hint of Touya Todoroki and how the damage Endeavor has caused is not something he can just remove with a simple apology. I love sassy Shoto being like “looks like a bad scar”

Wrapping up the cliffhanger from #20, we move on to a new training exercise for the UA students - 4 on 4 team battles, Class A against Class B, with a little extra twist thrown in. This should be interesting.

Not my favorite. Also not here for an Endeavor redemption arc.

I really enjoyed this volume! I loved getting more of Todoroki’s family issues as Endeavor’s profile as a hero grew. It was a really good detour into a more emotional plot.
As for the big Class A v Class B battle, I can only imagine how cool that looks in the anime!

In this volume we have three sets of stories going on. The end of the fight between a new type of Nomu and the new #1 Hero, Endeavor; Deku unlocks more memories of the vestiges of his power, All for One; the start of the testing of allowing Shinso to transfer to the hero course and the abilities of Class A vs. Class B. Overall, very interesting and I'm glad to see our hero classes a bit more, along with Shinso and I'm curious to see how his abilities have grown since we last saw him at the UA Sports Festival.

Yes, this volume was fire!
So this starts with #1 hero Endeavor and #2 hero Hawks fighting the Nomu. What happens next is even better. Hawks is working with the League of Villains as we see him speaking to Dabi about the plan going wrong. In later pages we see he has been asked to infiltrate the LoV by the police/government. However, we don't fully know who's side he is on. Interesting stuff because Hawks does come across like a hero who is happy to look after himself and take the easy route.
The story then moves to Endeavor trying to build bridges with his family. It makes sense to show us more of him since All Might has become a side character with Midoriya as his opener. Be interesting to see what happens with Endeavor. I can definitely see him dying because of his cocky attitude and then maybe his family forgiving him posthumously...
We find out something really interesting about One for All. Midoriya had a dream or a vision or something where he could see and hear the previous owners of the quirk, One for All. I thought this was cool because it gives us a backstory to this quirk and its origin story.
The best part of this volume though was the introduction of the new characters from Class 1-B and a character called Shinso from Class C of the General Studies. I absolutely loved these new characters because we got to see them battle Class 1-A. I also really liked seeing Tsuyu (frog quirk) in action as she is one of my favourite characters but rarely gets any time on page in action.
Kuroiro can go into any shadow, including Dark Shadow which is summoned by Fumikage Tokoyami's Quirk. He also has a really cool look to him.
Shishida is basically Beast from X-Men but slightly different that he always looks like a beast and isn't blue.
Komori was okay, she is a young student who can put mushrooms everywhere - not seeing much use for this yet.
Manga Fukidashi has the ability to make words that have a sound to them (like sizzle or pop) real so an actual word appears in the world like a weapon or wall.
The class president from Class 1-B is Kendo and she can make her hands really big and their strength increases with the size of her hands. She is a really good class president and better than Ida for 1-A.
I think introducing these new characters who are effectively rivals for class 1-A was fun, clever and brilliant storytelling (since League of Villains are focusing on the pro heroes). The question now is will they be regular entries into the series or not? I really hope they will be back.
Overall I loved this volume, the best one since volume 16 and the second best volume so far. I didn't expect it to be this good because of the cover but obviously never judge a book by its cover!
