It's the volume where they gain agency. Before, they were mostly reacting to All For One's plans or Stain's actions. Here, they start their own initiative: the training camp attack. It's a plan born from their own assessment and resources. That shift from pawns to (somewhat) independent actors is a massive developmental leap, even if the plan is still crude.

The manga makes it very clear. After the fun of the entrance exam and the first day of school, the tone darkens with the USJ trip. Chapters 12-21. That's the one. Horikoshi uses that arc to show that this superhero world has real consequences and organized evil. The League is the embodiment of that. Their introduction isn't subtle; it's a full-scale assault. It's meant to shock the reader as much as it shocks the characters. And it works.

I appreciate that the League wasn't introduced as an undefeatable force. In Volume 6, they have some wins, but they also get pushed back. They're still learning and making mistakes, just like the students. That makes them feel more real and less like a plot device. Shigaraki's poor leadership is shown, and the members don't always get along.
It's a refreshing take compared to villain groups that are perfectly coordinated from day one. Their messy introduction makes their later growth more satisfying. You see them evolve from a dysfunctional group into a real army across the series.

There's a palpable sense of ambition in Shigaraki's scenes here. He's not just reacting anymore; he's proposing the plan, making the pitch to the new recruits, and actively shaping his own legacy. You can see him trying on the mantle of leadership, and while he's still clearly learning and reliant on Kurogiri, there's a new determination there.
It's the start of his journey from a pawn of All For One into a king in his own right. Watching a villain protagonist grow in this way is rare and compelling, and Vol 10 is a key milestone in that growth.

The sound design in my head while reading the action scenes was intense. You can almost hear the screech of Koichi’s slides, the crunch of impacts, the unsettling organic sounds of Number 6’s body modifications. The artwork is so kinetic it creates a soundtrack.
The silence in the flashback scenes is equally powerful. The lack of typical action noises makes those moments feel isolated and painful. It’s a volume that uses visual storytelling to engage all your senses. The contrast between noisy, chaotic present and the quiet, painful past is a big part of why the emotional moments land so effectively. It’s not just what’s drawn, but how the 'space' between the panels is used.

Is it weird that I find their early appearances kind of... charming? In a creepy way, I mean. They felt like a bunch of misfits cobbled together, not the world-ending organization they become. Volume 2 captures that ragtag energy before the meta-liberation war and everything got so polished and militaristic. Shigaraki's pettiness is on full display, scratching his neck and complaining. It's a different vibe. If you're only familiar with the later seasons of the anime, going back to read those initial chapters is a trip. The art style feels rougher, and the League's plan is almost simplistic compared to what comes later. It's a fascinating origin for the antagonists.

Is it just me, or does Volume 9 feel like the end of an era? Like, it's the final time the class is all together in a purely academic, low-risk environment. After this, there's always some underlying trauma or external threat hanging over them. It's the closing chapter of their innocent first year.

Bakugo's fight is the heart of it. He's up against these third-years who keep talking down to him, telling him he's not ready, that he lacks resolve. His entire struggle is to prove them wrong, and he does it in the most Bakugo way possible: by exploding his way through every barrier, literal and metaphorical. The 'villain' is the condescension of the system. Todoroki's parallel story is about apologizing for a villain (Endeavor) he didn't choose. Both are incredible hero journeys.

The paralysis quirk is what gets me. It's so simple yet so effective. Stain doesn't need to be the strongest; he just needs one cut. That introduces a villain who wins through precision and fear, not brute force. It's a different kind of threat that the students aren't prepared for.

The connection is in the power scaling, oddly enough. The quirks in Vigilantes often seem weaker, more practical, or more problematic. This makes sense for people who didn't go through a elite hero school. It establishes a baseline of normalcy against which the insane power of the main cast stands out. You understand why Deku and Bakugo are such outliers when you see what 'average' powered individuals can do.
