The following contains major spoilers for My Hero Academia Chapter 403 by Horikoshi Kohei and Caleb Cook, now available in English from Viz Media.
The My Hero Academia manga just brought back a beloved character even though they were declared dead.
Chapter 403 of the fan-favorite manga depicts the next step in the duel between All Might and All For One. It’s important to note that All Might remains in a weakened state in the manga. Although he has some new technology that puts him on par with his arch-rival, even with his advantages, All For One has enough Quirks through Shigaraki’s body that the former Hero specializes in. 1 career is nearing death — a reality that many fans fear could happen with Nighteye’s “prophecy.” However, in the final moments of the chapter, Katsuki Bakugo returned from the “dead” to save the world.
MHA brings a boom
As the two spreads show, Bakugo has seen better days, and that’s because, in the My Hero Academia manga, he was “killed” by Shigaraki about a year ago. His condition is so serious that he is officially considered “dead” in the story. However, it seems that death is just another adventure for this hero, and although he looks worse for wear, he is still ready to help the man who inspired him us all our lives.
The connection between Bakugo and All Might is no different from what Deku has with the former #1 hero, but along a different path. Deku likes All Might because he is inspirational and he wants to be someone who can help people with just a smile. For his part, Bakugo considers All Might to be the best kind of hero because he never gives up and always wins his battles. This perseverance is one of Bakugo’s greatest traits, even if it causes him to be rough throughout the manga/anime.
Even when Bakugo is “resurrected,” the final battle is not over. All For One is still powerful and can take down some of the world’s greatest Pro Heroes, and he can take on Deku even with One For All’s full power. The anime hasn’t caught up with the manga yet, but it’s getting close. Part 6 highlights Shigaraki and All For One’s plan as they infuse new powers into Shigaraki’s body, and then All For One puts his mind into it to take control. Part 7 will deal with the consequences of these plans.
