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.

Overhaul's design incorporates his Quirk visually—the hands, the stitching on his gloves. He's a walking reminder of his own power. Every time you see him, you're reminded he can touch and unmake you. That consistent visual threat is brilliantly executed. He doesn't need to be active to be threatening; his presence is enough. It's a level of character design that does narrative work, constantly reinforcing the danger he represents without a word of dialogue.

Hmm. Not sure I have anything profound to add. Still processing that fight. It was a lot.

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 genius of this arc is that it makes you root for the 'villains' sometimes. When Bakugo has to play the role, he's so hilariously bad at it that you almost want the examinees to beat him.
It flips the script. The new villain dynamic is performative and often comedic. It doesn't have the weight of a life-or-death struggle, but it has its own unique tension.
You're watching to see if the students can outsmart each other within the rules of the game. It's a sports manga disguised as a superhero story for a few volumes, and it works really well.

Skeptic’s control over the media is a silent, pervasive conflict. While muscles and quirks clash, he’s shaping reality for the millions watching at home. The battle for truth is just as important as the battle on the streets.
He ensures the heroes can’t win a clean victory even if they win the fight. The smear campaign has already begun. This layer of conflict is crucial for the series’ exploration of what heroism means in a media-saturated world. Reputation is a battlefield too.

Giran's role is highlighted. He's the broker who connects the underworld, and his capture by the MLA is a major event. It shows the MLA's reach and methodology—they target key infrastructure figures, not just frontline fighters. This forces the League's hand and directly leads to their fateful meeting with Re-Destro. It's a plot that advances through pressure applied to the villains' support network, not through a direct attack on the heroes.

I keep coming back to the panel where Shigaraki smiles after his awakening. It's one of the most chilling moments in the series. That's the culmination of his arc in this volume. Re-Destro's horrified reaction sells the moment—he realizes he's created something far worse than he imagined. Gigantomachia's acknowledgment is the final seal of approval.
Ujiko's glee is the punctuation mark. Every main villain's reaction in that moment tells you everything you need to know about their role and their relationship to the new Shigaraki. It's a masterful piece of sequential storytelling that uses every antagonist to heighten the impact of the central one.

Reading these comments is making me want to re-read the whole arc. The analysis here is deeper than the official wiki, lol.
