It seems that the last chapter has raised more doubts than questions…
This article will contain major spoilers for My Hero Academia (Boku no Hero Academia).), especially with the last events of the Second War arc between heroes and villains. If you want to read it on your own and not ruin your experience, we recommend you do it through the service of MangaPlus by Shueisha. That said, we did see one of the biggest reveals of the franchise’s lore.
Ever since fans saw the silhouettes of some of One For All’s former past users, there was a question: “why it seemed that one of the characters was a relative of Bakugo?”. What made things even more interesting was the revelation that the second user did, in fact, share many of the similarities when his character was fully revealed. It seemed that either he was a close relative of Bakugo or Bakugo could connect with the One For All through him.
This, coupled with the fact that we have yet to see what kind of quirk the second user has at his disposal (to the point that he teases it being so intense that Izuku Midoriya can really only use it if he has no other options left), and fans have been raising all kinds of questions about what it could mean for Bakugo. This has become more intense with the latest climax of the series, in which Bakugo takes a fatal blow from Tomura Shigaraki and ends up in a liminal space where he is talking to the embers of All Might’s power within One For All..
In chapter 362 of My Hero Academia (Boku no Hero Academia) shows Bakugo pushing his body and his quirk beyond the limits we’ve seen so far, but it’s still not enough as Shigaraki goes through the young man’s chest and heart hero. He suddenly appears in a limbo-like space where he sees the spirits of the previous users of All Might’s power who are also currently inside Izuku’s One For All space. This doesn’t exactly reveal that Bakugo has somehow appeared within Izuku’s power, but it is certainly interesting to see that the two powers and spirits make the connection in the first place.
This could be a result of Bakugo’s close connection to Izuku and All Might, but curiously All For One (inside Shigaraki’s mind) has a flashback of frustration for the second user while dealing the fatal blow to Bakugo. This brings the two closer than ever before (establishing a hardline connection), but now it only remains to be seen whether or not Bakugo is actually connected to One For All (and thus could somehow be saved) or if it is only illusions.
My Hero Academia (Boku no Hero Academia) could bring back Bakugo
As we mentioned, the My Hero Academia (Boku no Hero Academia) fandom is definitely more curious about the potential theory linking Katsuki Bakugo to the power of One For All after that big chapter in the series. Nevertheless, this could change and radically modify some of the approaches of the series… like the way this power is transmitted.
Some of the other details in this chapter of Boku no Hero Academia (My Hero Academia) is that we see Bakugo get up in a fast and fast way, in fact, he moves incredibly fast, surpassing Shigaraki himself. This is due to the effect of the explosions cluster, which he can create with his quirk, but its power isn’t impressive enough for his own doubts. As he attacks his opponent, Bakugo wonders if he can keep up with Deku..
This attack makes the villain’s All For One consciousness uncomfortable, he feels the new power that this hero can achieve, even though Bakugo is not an All for One user, he has trouble controlling it. Y, at this point is that the connections between our hero and the second user of One For All continue because that’s when Shigaraki remembers the second user for some reason. Therefore, he goes for an all-out attack!
