My Hero Academia volume 11 continues the rescue crisis around Bakugo. The kidnapping has drawn Midoriya and his friends into an operation with consequences beyond their own group. Read it as the continuation of an emergency already under way, with the preceding book supplying the decision to act. This is a poor place to sample the school premise: the students are dealing with an attack on the people and institutions that were supposed to protect them.

Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.

The rescue becomes a trap for the rescuers. VIZ identifies Bakugo's abduction as a calculated attempt to draw out the heroes, particularly All Might, and brings All For One into the confrontation. That makes the extended fighting more than an obstacle between a prisoner and freedom: the heroes' predictable willingness to intervene is part of the enemy's design. Keeping this book with the rescue setup makes that reversal easier to follow than treating the duel as a separate attraction. All Might's strength matters, but so does the fact that someone has planned around his arrival.
