The scene hits differently when you consider Mirio's backstory, which we learn earlier. He wasn't a natural with his quirk; he trained relentlessly to master it, even suffering embarrassing failures. His power was earned through sheer hard work. To have that hard-won mastery torn away from him adds another layer of cruelty. It's not just a power loss; it's the erasure of years of dedicated effort and personal growth.
That context makes his smile even more remarkable. He's not just losing a tool; he's losing a part of his history, his journey. And yet, he accepts it. That's a level of maturity and selflessness that very few characters in any story reach. It's why, for many readers, he became the emotional heart of that entire arc, even overshadowing the main protagonist at times.

The fan translations for those chapters were a mess of emotion online. Everyone was losing their minds in real-time. That communal shock and grief is part of the volume's legacy. For Lemillion's arc, volume 17 is the point of no return. There's no going back to the carefree, powerful student after this. He's permanently changed, and the audience's perception of him is permanently changed. He's no longer just 'the funny guy who phases naked'; he's the guy who gave up everything. That elevation happens entirely within the pages of this volume. It's a character-defining crucible, and he emerges on the other side as someone entirely new, forged in sacrifice.

I'd argue he faces two key villains: Overhaul, obviously, but also fate or circumstance itself. Losing his quirk is like a villainous act from the universe. Overhaul is the physical manifestation of that cruel twist. So in a thematic sense, he's battling the concept of unfairness and the end of his dream. Overhaul is just the agent of that delivery. Makes the volume hit way harder on a re-read, honestly.

That scene is a masterclass in visual storytelling, not just dialogue. Horikoshi slows everything down, using double-page spreads to let the gravity of the moment sink in. You see Lemillion's face, calm and resolute, right before the impact. It's not a chaotic, violent splash page; it's framed almost like a painting. The absence of sound effects for a panel or two makes it feel eerily silent, even though you know it's pure chaos around him. He's not just losing his power; you're watching his entire future, his dream of being the 'Symbol of Peace,' vanish in an instant. The sacrifice works because it's visually treated with a sacred, tragic weight, making you feel the enormity of what he's giving up more than any internal monologue ever could.

There's a chilling efficiency to All For One's methods. He doesn't just overpower Shigaraki; he uses Shigaraki's own memories and pain against him. He twists the love for his family, the memory of his father's rejection, into tools to break his spirit. This changes Shigaraki's story from one where his trauma defines him to one where his trauma is weaponized to destroy him.
It's the ultimate violation. The very things that made him who he is are turned into the nails for his coffin. The volume suggests that All For One wasn't just creating a successor; he was cultivating a host with the perfect emotional weaknesses to exploit at the moment of takeover. That long-game cruelty is what makes the change so horrifying.

You know, it's funny. I saw a post the other day talking about retirement in shonen, and All Might's arc post-Vol 11 is the perfect example. Most series just kill off the old mentor. This? This is more interesting. Making him live with his irrelevance.

From a pure battle shonen perspective, it's the ultimate power-up justification. He gets a massive boost from fully merging with All For One, but it's earned because we see the psychological cost. It's not an ass-pull; it's the culmination of a lifetime of suffering and a conscious choice to embrace destruction. The power escalation feels narrative-driven, not just for cool fight scenes.
It changes his storyline by making his overwhelming power feel inevitable and tragic, rather than just a challenge for the protagonist to overcome. Every city block he decays isn't just a display of strength; it's a scream of pain from a five-year-old. That's a wild thing to pull off in a superhero comic.

What struck me was the sound design in my head while reading. The fight is so loud and chaotic, and then the gunshot is just a sharp ‘BANG’ in a bubble. And then… silence. Not literal silence on the page, but an emotional silence. The twist hits, and for a few panels, the frantic energy of the raid just drains away, replaced by this cold, dreadful realization. The artistry sells the twist as much as the writing. The shift in Mirio’s expression from determined focus to wide-eyed shock is conveyed in just a few lines, but it tells the whole story. It’s a twist you see and feel, not just read.

The volume forces him to become an actor in the truest sense. Every line of dialogue, every reaction, is a calculated performance. We see him practicing expressions, considering responses. His storyline becomes a meta-commentary on identity and performance. The change is ontological—he’s no longer a person with a job; his job is to be a person. This blurring of the line between his real self and his roles creates incredible psychological tension. It asks a terrifying question: if he plays the villain convincingly enough to fool them, what parts of that villainy might become real? That’s the central, horrifying change to his personal journey.

The flashback to his childhood in this volume is the key. It doesn't excuse him, but it re-frames him. Before, he was a man-child throwing a tantrum at the world. After seeing the sheer, accidental horror of his origin, you understand the tantrum is all he has left. His role changes from 'spoiled villain' to 'living tragedy.' He's not lashing out at society; he's lashing out at the memory of his own hands, at the silence that followed the decay. It adds a layer of pathetic horror that makes him infinitely more compelling than a simple power-hungry bad guy.
