Chapter 424 of My Hero Academia, recently leaked online, delves into the aftermath of Bakugo’s dramatic “death” and comeback during the final war arc. Bakugo’s revival was made possible by Edgeshot’s intervention, which saved him from a fatal fate. The latest chapter reveals Bakugo in the hospital, where the doctor explains the extent of his injuries and how Edgeshot’s quick actions preserved his life by assisting his heart.
This chapter is a crucial point for Bakugo’s character and the narrative of My Hero Academia. Bakugo’s revival allowed him to continue fighting against Tomura Shigaraki and even contribute to the defeat of All For One’s old body. The decision to bring Bakugo back sparked mixed reactions within the anime community, and now, author Kohei Horikoshi is addressing the consequences of this significant event.
Bakugo’s Death and Edgeshot’s Sacrifice Revealed to Have Devastating Consequences
In chapter 424, Bakugo learns from the doctor that he sustained severe damage during the battle. His survival and ability to move were miracles attributed to Edgeshot’s timely intervention. The doctor also notes that one of Bakugo’s arms was significantly injured due to overuse and the wounds inflicted by Shigaraki. While surgery could help, the doctor is uncertain about the success of rehabilitation, suggesting that Bakugo might not regain full use of his arm.
The doctor also proposes the option of robotic limbs, similar to those used by Mirko, to allow Bakugo to continue his hero duties. However, Bakugo points out that his Quirk, which requires his palms to sweat, would make this option impractical. This revelation underscores the severity of Bakugo’s condition and the crucial role Edgeshot played in his survival, despite the heavy cost.
If it hadn't been for Edgeshot, he would've died. The doctor doesn't understand how he kept fighting and traveled dozens of kilometers in those conditions, but he should rest now. It cuts to another hospital room and Deku can't believe he's in the same one as All Might #MHA424

Looking ahead, Kohei Horikoshi has hinted in the latest Shonen Jump issue that the upcoming chapters will focus more on the “Academia” aspect of the series. This likely means showcasing Class 1-A’s graduation. The final panel of chapter 424 features an older Deku, suggesting a potential time skip of about two years, taking the students to their graduation from U.A. High School.
The chapter also explores Bakugo’s feelings of regret for his past treatment of Deku during their school years. The forthcoming chapters might depict Bakugo’s growth as a hero, both physically and emotionally, following his injuries and the pivotal events of the series. Horikoshi may also explore the type of hero Bakugo aspires to become.
In conclusion, Bakugo’s “death” and subsequent revival have had significant repercussions for his character. The recent chapter highlights the crucial role Edgeshot played in his survival. As the series progresses, fans can expect to see more of Bakugo’s journey and how he evolves as a hero in the wake of his experiences.
