My Hero Academia volume 31 turns to the damage left by the battle in Jaku City. The heroes are reeling and the stability of society is in question, making this an aftermath volume rather than a clean restart. Continue here after the confrontation if you want its consequences. The end of an immediate clash does not supply the institutions or families with a settled future, and this book begins from that gap.

Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.

Driving Tomura away does not amount to restoring the world that existed before the battle. The publisher puts heroic losses beside social instability, then brings the Todoroki family's past and Midoriya's understanding of One For All into the aftermath. Those are distinct forms of unfinished business. The useful change in register is from stopping an immediate threat to deciding what the survivors can now do with what they know. A battle result is a poor summary of that situation. The damage is public, while the obligations it leaves are also personal.
