My Hero Academia Chapter 424, recently leaked online, delves into the aftermath of Bakugo's dramatic “death” and return in the final war arc. Bakugo's resurrection was made possible thanks to Edgeshot's intervention, which saved him from a dangerous fate. The latest chapter reveals Bakugo is in the hospital, where the doctor explains the extent of his injuries and how Edgeshot's quick actions preserved his life by supporting his heart.
This chapter is an important point for the character Bakugo and the story of My Hero Academia. Bakugo's resurrection allowed him to continue fighting against Tomura Shigaraki and even contributed to defeating All For One's old body. The decision to bring Bakugo back has caused mixed reactions in the anime community, and now creator Kohei Horikoshi is dealing with the aftermath of this momentous event.
Bakugo's death and Edgeshot's sacrifice are revealed to have devastating consequences
In chapter 424, Bakugo learned from the doctor that he was seriously injured in battle. His survival and ability to move were a miracle thanks to Edgeshot's timely intervention. The doctor also noted that one of Bakugo's arms had been severely injured due to overuse and injuries caused by Shigaraki. While surgery may help, doctors are uncertain about the success of the recovery process, suggesting that Bakugo may not regain full use of his arm.
The doctor also suggested the option of robotic limbs, similar to those used by Mirko, to allow Bakugo to continue his heroic duties. However, Bakugo points out that his ability, which requires sweaty palms, would make this option impractical. This revelation emphasizes the severity of Bakugo's condition and the vital role Edgeshot played in his survival, despite the high cost.
If it weren't for Edgeshot, he would have died. The doctor didn't understand how he continued to fight and travel dozens of kilometers in those conditions, but he should rest now. It switched to another hospital room and Deku couldn't believe he was in the same room as All Might #MHA424

Looking ahead, Kohei Horikoshi hinted in the latest issue of Shonen Jump that upcoming chapters will focus more on the “Academy” aspect of the series. This could mean representing the graduation of Class 1-A. The final part of chapter 424 features an older Deku, hinting at a possible time skip of about two years, taking the students to the UA High School graduation ceremony.
This chapter also explores Bakugo's feelings of regret over how he treated Deku in the past during their school years. The next chapters could depict Bakugo's growth as a hero, both physically and mentally, after his injuries and important events of the series. Horikoshi is also able to explore the type of hero Bakugo aspires to become.
In short, Bakugo's “death” and subsequent resurrection had a significant impact on his personality. The recent chapter emphasized Edgeshot's important role in his survival. As the series progresses, fans can expect to see more of Bakugo's journey and how he develops into a hero through his experiences.
