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.

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.

Think of the series' three-act structure. Act I: Entrance to UA to Stain. Act II: Internships to Overhaul. Volume 26 is the beginning of Act III's setup. Act III is the war and its aftermath. So this volume starts planting the seeds for the grand conflict: hero society's instability, the rise of new villain organizations, and the need for a symbol beyond All Might. Its placement is the start of the endgame preamble.

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.

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.

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.

It's next in line. More importantly, it's where the optimism of the series fractures completely. Even when a bright, powerful new symbol like Star and Stripe appears, it's under a cloud of desperation. Its place in the timeline is defined by this shift—the end of 'fun' superhero battles and the beginning of a grim struggle for survival.

Think of the series timeline like a rising action chart. Volume 21 is a sharp spike right after a plateau. The license exam was a personal goal for the students. This volume presents a societal-level crisis.
It fits as the necessary escalation to keep the narrative driving forward post-All Might's retirement. The threats can't just be school exams anymore.

The volume focuses heavily on Hawks and his precarious position. His chapters are some of the most suspenseful in the series to that point. We also get the full explanation of the Quirk-enhancing drugs and the nomu factory, which are major plot devices for the war. So it’s crucial for understanding the villains’ capabilities.
