This volume concluded the UA Sports Festival and really delved into the origin of Todoroki. He is a great character with a damaged childhood which has an effect on him in each of his battles.
Midoriya was great in this volume and pushed himself to be stronger and to continue being the best version of himself that he can be. He is certainly going to be the successor to All Might.
I really liked how the sports festival ended. It would have been easy to go a different route and have one of two different winners but the way the author ended it was clever because it now allows for further character development.
Speaking of characters, I loved that he brought in a brand new villain, Stain. I love how he looks and that he is titled “The Hero Killer”. Heroes are only as good as the villains they face and I was really pleased to see some more villains in this volume, albeit for two pages, because it keeps the focus on the class of 1-A becoming heroes to fight villains.
Really looking forward to seeing how everything plays out in the next volume.
