My Hero Academia, Vol. 30 (My Hero Academia)

by Kohei Horikoshi

Midoriya inherits the superpower of the world’s greatest hero, but greatness won’t come easy.

What would the world be like if 80 percent of the population manifested superpowers called “Quirks”? Heroes and villains would be battling it out everywhere! Being a hero would mean learning to use your power, but where would you go to study? The Hero Academy of course! But what would you do if you were one of the 20 percent who were born Quirkless?

Midoriya and Tomura have finally come to blows and the battle intensifies as Tomura tries to steal One For All. The clash extends into the One For All spirit realm, where the previous users and even All For One join the struggle. While the battle for the ultimate Quirk rages, the other heroes and villains duke it out. Ochaco finds herself taking on Toga, who doesn’t want a fight so much as a heart-to-heart? Then, Dabi finally arrives in Jaku City with a shocking revelation…

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
