My Hero Academia is currently focusing on the heroes’ fight against Shigaraki and AFO (All For One). In the last few chapters, we’ve seen several characters meet their demise against the villains, but Bakugo’s demise has been the most shocking one for the community. However, as many fans predicted, Bakugo’s death might not be permanent after all.
In Deku’s absence, Bakugo took charge against Shigaraki, and the hot-headed kid stood his ground against the villain for a while. But, the fight ends with Bakugo falling to the ground with his heart stopped. The chapter dives deep into Bakugo’s emotional state, and we learn that the kid only wishes to save his friends, especially Deku. On top of that, we see the All Might card – the card that Bakugo kept with himself for all these years – lying beside his body. It definitely felt like a farewell, so some fans were certain that Bakugo’s death was permanent, but surprisingly (or not), that wasn’t the case.
According to some early spoilers of My Hero Academia Chapter 364, our beloved Edgeshot will step forward to bring Bakugo back to life. Edgeshot will ask Mirko to keep Shigaraki busy while he finds a way to start Bakugo’s heart. The Ninja Hero has a deep understanding of the human body, so he uses his unraveling powers to reach the kid’s heart.
Edgeshot aims to complete the missing parts of Bakugo’s heart to revive him, but there’s one catch. Apparently, Edgeshot can move Bakugo’s body parts to bring him back, but the Ninja Hero can’t come back after that — So, he’ll have to sacrifice his life to save the kid.
Best Jeanist warns Edgeshot of the outcome, but Kamihara (Ninja Hero’s real name) has made up his mind. He asks Jeanist to take care of everything once he’s gone. Finally, we see Edgeshot completing Bakugo’s heart at the end of the chapter. So, there’s a high possibility that we might get Bakugo back in the forthcoming chapter. We might also see Bakugo awakening a quirk after returning to life.
Bakugo’s death in MHA got the attention of several fans, and honestly, the fandom had a feeling that the character would somehow return. Even then, seeing a character being revived after two chapters seems rushed to some fans. Of course, the emotional setup of Bakugo’s death worked well for the manga’s readership, but it could’ve been so much more than that. The manga is at its final arc, and for a while, the community felt scared for their beloved characters – which wasn’t exactly a bad thing.
There’s also a chance that Edgeshot will fail at bringing Bakugo back to life, but we can’t be sure about anything until we get the official chapter. Viz Media and Manga Plus will release Chapter 364 of My Hero Academia on Sunday, August 28th, so we are only a few days away from getting our answers.
