!!POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD!!

The aftermath to the destructive war between Heroes and Villains. Society has changed, convicts are out and about freely while Heroes are shut inside their house, either because they quit or they are scared to face the people. Civilians are no longer trusting anyone and have taken up arms. This society has literally regressed back into the old days.

Little Hawks was absolutely adorable yet his backstory was terribly sad. I wonder why this society, heck even the readers feel so much of sympathy for Twice. Granted he was a good guy but he was a good guy standing with the wrong side. He had to be eliminated for the greater good, what's wrong about that? This society needs to give Hawks a break!

In the same way, little Toya had suffered a lot. When a kid is suddenly abandoned by their dad, after being their star for years, of course they would behave the way Toya did. To add fuel to fire, they went and had more kids! Up until that day, Toya suffered silently, unable to understand his father's actions and feeling guilty for his pwn actions towards his siblings. Everyone in that family except Shoto was responsible for creating this monster named Dabi and I'm glad they are ready to work together to sort the issue.

And my one forever question has been answered. Why Deku, why All Might? Turns out the Not-So-Ordinary people, aka the Quirkless in the Hero Society are the only ones capable of holding this Quirk. I loved how Deku gained confidence slowly and was finally able to speak properly in the Realm world.

But that last panel in the Volume was completely jarring. There was nothing leading up to it and now suddenly he's a Vigilante?
