The wait between one issue and another of the increasingly popular My Hero Academia (also thanks to the advent of the anime) unfortunately it has begun to expand, but we are hardly disappointed whenever we are faced with a publication. With the number 23 the fans were surprised and displaced, not so much for the developments that the final part of the team test revealed, but above all for the final episodes of the volume which focused on the events related to theUnion of Villain… and not only. Following this imprint, and continuing the course of events of which the 23rd was only the beginning, Kohei Horikoshi continues to tell us what's happening to the gang of villains, which we are increasingly knowing deeply, from their past lives to personal motivations. My Hero Academia 24 is the first to come out after the lockdown, so the wait was nothing short of spasmodic
Away from the Yuei
The entire volume is therefore dedicated to the Union of Villains, now led by Tomura Shigaraki and that more and more must learn how to be a leader. If the misfortune of the students of the Yuei has always been in a certain sense linked to them, this time they too have their own headaches, so much so as to seriously endanger the safety of their members. We broke up when the absurd attempt to convince Gigantomachia, is also added the activation of the Ri-Destro plan to put the Union in check, with the kidnapping of Giran. The studied counter-move then brought the Villains to the headquarters of theArmy of the Liberation… Which turned out to be an entire town!
Finished in the wolf's lair, Shiragaki, Toga, Twice and all the others find themselves in a more complicated situation than expected, giving life to one of the most frenetic publications of the entire series (so far). Even if we have seen what they are made of, they are put in serious difficulty, bringing to light not only their own motivations, but also various twists related to individuals. Even though the last few periods have been quite difficult for them, the Union has found great strength in the spirit of cohesion, a group formed by individuals who for one reason or another felt excluded or were discarded by society.
The battle that in the entire number 24 takes place against the Army, therefore, has brought back the pride of some, but has also strengthened the concepts that this group of fanatics defend with great fervor, with the sole purpose of overturning society created.
On my mind
In addition to blood and quirks, therefore, inevitably (and in full Horikoshi style) some phases of the number take place with flashback, which greatly enrich what we already knew about some, but which for other characters go brutally to open Pandora's Box, finally clarifying the background which pushes the various characters to carry out such actions or to defend any cause. Without going into the details of the twists and the events of which the singles will be protagonists (from both factions), know that the narrative pace remains high, and it has succeeded in full (even if perhaps not with all the space that would be deserved) the mission to carry out a focus on them.
The interludes continue to give curiosity, while it is absolutely clear how much an entire publication devoted to villains was needed, but only by reading the number can you discover the reason for this statement. We do not know for sure if the next issue will also be dedicated entirely to the Union, or if only a part, but the hypothesis of the same master in the final thanks makes us think that we will see Deku and his companions again very soon. My Hero Academia 24 is being promoted, although in our opinion, it could have been dug even deeper ... or are they cartridges kept warm for the next act?
