My Hero Academia, the manga series is nearing its climax, with fans eagerly awaiting how the author plans to conclude the story in just a few remaining chapters. One of the key desires among fans is to see the hero society evolve, particularly in how it views villains and their motivations.

Deku’s dream of reshaping the hero society faces challenges, especially after recent chapters where public sentiment has shown resistance to sympathizing with villains.

However, there is hope that Bakugo, who has undergone significant character development throughout the series, could play a pivotal role in this transformation.

Deku and Bakugo (Kohei Horikoshi)

Initially introduced as a bully who taunted Deku for lacking a quirk, Bakugo’s journey took a profound turn during the Dark Deku arc, where he confronted his guilt and apologized to Deku for his past actions. This pivotal moment marked a shift in Bakugo’s character, leading to his growth into a more compassionate and heroic figure.

During the final war, Bakugo faced grave peril, nearly losing his life in the conflict against Tomura Shigaraki. Despite the intense battles and challenges,

Bakugo survived with the help of Pro Hero Edgeshot and played a crucial role in defeating All For One, showcasing his evolution from a troubled youth to a formidable hero.

As the series approaches its conclusion, Bakugo stands as someone uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between heroes and villains in the public eye. His firsthand experiences as both aggressor and victim provide him with a nuanced perspective that could resonate with citizens who are resistant to change.

Just as Ochaco delivered a compelling speech to garner support for Deku, Bakugo could similarly address the public, sharing his personal journey of growth and redemption.

This could serve as a catalyst for the much-needed transformation in the hero society, influencing public opinion and paving the way for a more inclusive and understanding approach toward all individuals, heroes, and villains alike.

While the series’ conclusion remains uncertain, Bakugo’s potential to catalyze change represents a beacon of hope for fans invested in seeing My Hero Academia’s world evolve beyond its current state. His role as a voice of reason and empathy could prove instrumental in shaping a future where heroes and villains are seen through a more compassionate lens, aligning with Deku’s aspirations for a better society.
