Sometimes I just flip through to look at the art during the All Might fight. The way Horikoshi draws motion and impact is incredible even this early on. The spread of All Might's final punch, with the Noumu's face deforming and the shockwave radiating out, is a masterpiece of shonen manga storytelling. As a battle, it's beautifully rendered. The choreography is simple—dodge, grab, punch—but the weight and emotion behind it are conveyed entirely through the artwork. For visual spectacle alone, that battle makes the volume worth it.

From a pure power-scaling perspective, this fight showed the upper limits of what first-year students could do. It set a benchmark that made the threats in later arcs feel appropriately scaled. If this was a school festival, what must real villains be capable of?

If you’re looking for a list, here’s the rundown. First, the Hero License Exam’s preliminary battle: all of Class A vs. Class B in a urban capture-the-flag scenario. It’s chaotic and establishes their growth. Second, and the centerpiece, is the Hero Killer Stain battle. It’s a three-on-one: Stain versus Iida, then Deku, and finally Todoroki joining in. It’s a brutal, fast-paced fight in a narrow alleyway that ends with Stain’s capture but leaves all three kids badly injured and shaken.

I'd argue the 'battles' are almost secondary to the character moments within them. Yes, the physical conflict with Shigaraki is the main event, but the real battle is internal for Deku. He's fighting his own fear, guilt, and the overwhelming pressure of One For All's legacy. Bakugo's moment is a battle against his own perceived weakness and his desire to protect. Even All For One's fight is a battle of ideology against the pros. So when listing major battles, you have to include these psychological duels. The volume brilliantly intertwines the flashy quirk clashes with these quiet, devastating internal struggles. That's what makes it so re-readable; you notice new layers each time, beyond just who punches whom.

I always come back to All Might's smile at the end. He's battered, broken, smoke rising from his body, but he raises a fist and smiles for the cameras. That's the final move in the battle. It's a psychological victory lap, a deliberate performance to reassure the public. The battle isn't over until he delivers that symbol of peace one last time. It's a calculated act of heroism that's separate from the fighting, a battle to control the emotional fallout. That single panel is a masterstroke.

Can we talk about the Noumu's design? That exposed brain and beaky mouth during the fight are genuinely unsettling. The battle isn't just against strength; it's against a grotesque, unnatural creation. It visually represents the villains' disregard for life and ethics. Every punch All Might lands on that thing feels weird, because it's not really a living being with consciousness; it's a weapon. That adds a creepy, horrific layer to the fight that separates it from a standard villain duel. The major battle is against a monstrosity, which makes the victory feel less about defeating an evil mind and more about destroying a dangerous tool.

The Bakugo and Todoroki final is the main event. The choreography is fantastic—Bakugo using his explosions for mobility to break through Todoroki's ice walls never gets old.

It’s wild to see how far Deku has come by this point. Remember when he could barely use 5% without breaking? Throwing 100% punches consecutively, even if it destroys him, shows a terrifying level of growth and desperation. The forest battle, conversely, shows how little the class has grown in terms of real-world crisis management. They’re still kids caught off guard. The two battles side-by-side measure individual heroic potential against group tactical inexperience.

Thematically, the battles all revolve around the cost of a society built on symbols. Endeavor's fight is about the burden and fragility of being the new symbol. Hawks' fight is about the dirty work required to maintain that symbol's illusion. Mirko's fight is about the physical cost of protecting the system that creates the symbols. Every clash is an examination of what hero society is built upon, and the cracks are showing in every panel. The villains are just the catalyst; the real conflict is the system fighting to sustain itself.

Bakugo's reaction in the background during all of this is gold. He's seething, not just because he wants to fight, but because the two most powerful students in his eyes are having this profound, destiny-altering clash and he's not part of it. He's relegated to spectator, and it eats at him. It's a subtle battle of egos happening off-stage. He sees the flames and ice and realizes the scale of what he's up against, which fuels his drive even more. The volume does a great job showing multiple character perspectives even during a focused one-on-one.
