Chapter-wise, it's 103-111. So if you're reading on MangaPlus or similar, that's your marker. The timeline is linear. This volume is famous for the All Might vs. Deku and Bakugo battle, which is a huge moment for all three characters. It's placed after they've each had individual crises (Deku with Stain, Bakugo with his festival loss) and before they get scattered for internships.
It's a consolidation arc, pulling threads together before spinning them out again.

For those tracking arcs, Vol 31 concludes the 'Paranormal Liberation War' fallout and initiates the 'Dark Hero Arc.' So its timeline placement is the bridge between two major sagas. The volume's first chapters tidy up the war's immediate aftermath, and its final chapters launch Deku on his solo mission. It's a textbook example of how to transition between big story beats without feeling rushed or filler-like. Every scene serves to raise the stakes or deepen character motivations for the endgame.

Compared to earlier volumes, this one has less schoolroom humor and more street-level investigation. That shift in setting within the timeline signals the characters' growth. They're not just students anymore; they're apprentices on real cases.

You could almost split the series into 'Before Forest Training' and 'After Forest Training.' Vol 10 is the 'Before.' It's the final exam of their initial innocence. After this, the villains' war escalates dramatically.

If you’re watching the anime, Season 4 covers this. But for the manga, the volumes are your season box sets. Volume 22 is like the first half of the ‘School Festival’ storyline. So in a binge read, you finish the Overhaul arc (your big action movie), then you pop in this volume (your feel-good character episode). The order is designed for pacing.
You wouldn’t watch the character episode before the action movie it’s reacting to. So you read Volume 22 after the action movie volumes. It’s pacing 101. The author is controlling the rhythm of your experience. Trust the rhythm.

After the fun and games of the school festival, Volume 19 brings the reality check. It sits between the festival's conclusion and the all-out raid on the yakuza hideout. In the grand timeline, it's where the students get a taste of a mission that's beyond a school exercise.
Nighteye's prophecies and the looming threat create a timeline of impending doom that the characters are racing against.

The library binding on my Vol 8 is loose from rereading the All Might fight. That sequence alone makes its timeline placement memorable. It's the culmination of the 'Deku and Bakugo need to work together' thread that started at the very beginning. It's a milestone volume.

The anime adaptation of this volume's content is in Season 5, episodes 17-19 or so? I'd have to check. But the point is, the anime's filler and recap episodes can distort the perception of timeline pacing. In the manga, this section reads much faster. So its place in the reading timeline feels more natural and less padded than its place in the anime viewing timeline.

The fight is a technical marvel, but the aftermath is what seals this volume's importance. Endeavor in the hospital, scarred and silent, while the news debates his performance. Hawks visiting, being cryptic. It's all set-up.
Its timeline position is the set-up phase for the endgame. The cracks shown here will become canyons later. The public distrust sown here will blossom into full-scale conflict. So, while it's a satisfying story on its own, its real value is as a keystone for the series' final acts. You can't remove it without the whole structure weakening.

Mmm, I'm just here for the Mirko pages. That's all I remember from that volume. Timeline? Somewhere during the big fight. Everything else is a blur of adrenaline and panic, which I guess is the point.
