Did I know some spoilers regarding Dabi? Yes. Did it get me emotional, yes.
Loved this, finished it in one sitting, waiting for the next one. I really should continue with anime whilst the next volume comes out.

Dabi's Dance, now isn't that title intriguing enough? Dabi pulled a Stain on the Heroes. A well crafted plan served with some dirty laundry from the past. Damn, even though I guessed at his past, I was still shocked when it was all pieced together.

We got some bits and pieces of Dabi's past and I admit I feel bad for the little kid. But the adult him pisses me off, to try to kill anyone that's in his way is insane! Shoto deserves happiness but every damn person has to cause him some pain!! Also, as much as I love Deku helping out his friend, I would have appreciated if Shoto got to deal it his way. Alas, he ain't the MC and Deku has to butt in everywhere.

Just when I was getting hopeful, all of it came to an end with the Villains making an escape. But despite all this, Deku sees Shigaraki as a person needing saving..

Summary:

In the world of My Hero Academia, approximately eighty percent of the population (and growing) have been born with quirks – unique superpowers. Midoriya is part of the twenty percent group – born without a quirk. He never let that destroy his dreams of becoming a hero, and look at him now!

It's the fight we've all been waiting for. Or one of them, at any rate. The heroes and the villains are about to battle it out, and the risk couldn't be higher. Worse, Shigaraki is awake and throwing around new powers.

Review:

The Heroes vs. Villains arc really hits all sorts of emotional highs and lows, doesn't it? My Hero Academia Vol. 30 brings us back into the fray, and the fight somehow keeps getting more intense. Better yet – more and more heroes (and villains) show up at every turn. I'm loving it (even though it is a re-read).

It's hard not to have an emotional reaction to this volume. It gives so many beloved characters moments (even small ones), plus the fight is still pretty badass overall. Then there are the emotional implications, and truth bombs drop...whew. My favorite moment would be a spoiler to describe, but I'm sure those who have read this volume know exactly what I'm talking about.

Honestly, My Hero Academia Vol. 30 makes me stop and think. We have Dabi's revelations and some new information about All For One/One For All, and then there's that whole thing with Ochaco. It's a lot to process, and even though I'm re-reading the series, I've not seen the conclusion of most of those arcs. I desperately want to see how it all plays out.

Highlights:
Teenage Superheroes
Shonen
Expansive Cast
Intense Plots
Hit Series
