On August 8, 2022, Chapter 362 of the manga Boku no Hero Academia (also known as My Hero Academia) was released in Japan, causing a significant stir among fans worldwide due to the sacrifice of the character Katsuki Bakugo, one of the most prominent characters in the series.
In this chapter, with the entire world in turmoil, Bakugo realizes that this is the path that Deku has been on all this time. After receiving a fatal blow from Tomura, Bakugo witnesses a pure white void, revealing that he always wanted All Might to sign his hero license. The scene marks a pivotal moment for Bakugo, whose heart “shattered” as he was struck, despite the fact that his friends and fellow heroes were still struggling to heal from their own wounds.
This scene clearly illustrates Katsuki Bakugo’s emergence, leaving fans heartbroken as they witness their beloved character seemingly gone. However, hope springs eternal as fans speculate that Katsuki Bakugo‘s sacrifice could be short-lived. Chapter 364 revealed that Edgeshot might be able to revive Bakugo’s heart, but he may have to make a significant sacrifice in return. Edgeshot is determined to “become the heart of Bakugo,” showcasing the depth of his commitment.
Less than a year has passed since fans last saw Katsuki Bakugo in such a state, and anticipation builds as new information about the next chapter of Boku no Hero Academia emerges. By the end of the latest chapter, Bakugo appears before the shocked face of Deku, leaving fans to wonder about the implications of his return.
Despite the unexpected nature of Bakugo’s revival, the news has instantly become a trending topic on social media, igniting various discussions among fans. Some comments include:
- I have never felt happier in my life than I do right now.
- If Bakugo can come back like this, then Gojo can also return from the dead in the future.
- 434 days have been empty and desolate, but this moment is a feast for the soul. The King has returned.
- I’m not pleased he’s back, but I’m thrilled for his fans.
- In the end, he also returned! And he only needed 434 days to do it!
- I don’t know why I’m so shocked. The creator hinted that Bakugo and Deku would end the war by fighting together from the very beginning, but each of them had to play their part.
- It seems like the creator of the manga has decided to keep any character alive. Even Chainsaw Man.
As the story of Boku no Hero Academia continues to unfold, fans are left eagerly awaiting what comes next for Katsuki Bakugo and his friends.
