My Hero Academia finally reveals the true cost of Bakugo’s death and Edgeshot’s sacrifice

The most recent chapter of My Hero Academia, Chapter 424, was recently leaked online. It delves into the aftermath of Bakugo’s supposed death and his return in the final war arc. Edgeshot played a crucial role in making this comeback possible. In the latest chapter, Bakugo is shown in the hospital where the doctor reveals that it was a miracle he was able to move for so long. Edgeshot’s assistance not only saved Bakugo from death but also aided his heart during the process.

Bakugo’s character, as well as the entire My Hero Academia series, reached a crucial turning point when he bounced back from his loss against Tomura Shigaraki. Despite being drained from the battle, he mustered enough strength to assist in defeating All For One’s previous form. This choice generated a range of responses from the anime community, and now author Kohei Horikoshi is discussing the aftermath of this significant event.

This article includes spoilers for the series, so be cautious while reading.

The leaked chapter 424 of the manga revealed a major plot point, depicting Katsuki Bakugo’s condition after the final war arc. In this chapter, the doctor informed him that he had sustained significant injuries during the battle and that his heart was saved by Edgeshot’s quick thinking and his own powerful Quirk, which enabled him to continue fighting for an extended period of time.

Despite confirmation that one of his arms was severely injured due to its excessive use during the final arc and the wounds sustained while fighting Tomura Shigaraki, the doctor expressed uncertainty about the effectiveness of surgery or rehabilitation to restore its function. Therefore, it was likely that he would no longer be able to use it.

The doctor suggested that, like Mirko, he could use robotic limbs if he wanted to continue being a hero. However, Bakugo noted that this would not be feasible as his Quirk relied on his palms sweating. This demonstrates the extent of Bakugo’s determination to defeat Shigaraki, and highlights the crucial role Edgeshot played in his “death,”even though it came at a high price.

According to the latest issue of Shonen Jump, author Kohei Horikoshi revealed that the upcoming chapters of My Hero Academia will have a strong focus on the “Academia”aspect of the title. This may include showcasing the graduation of class A-1. In the leaked final panel of chapter 424, Deku appears to be older, suggesting a potential two-year time jump to when he and his classmates will be able to graduate from UA.

The previous chapter highlighted Bakugo’s immense remorse for his treatment of Deku during their time at school. However, upcoming chapters may delve into his growth as a hero following his injuries and the events of the series. Horikoshi may also portray the type of hero he will ultimately become.

Concluding Thoughts

Despite his supposed “death”in the My Hero Academia manga, Katsuki Bakugo faced numerous repercussions, as revealed in the epilogue. Thanks to Edgeshot’s timely aid, Bakugo was able to survive the final arc and return alive.
