My Hero Academia chapter 405: A life saved and a battle inherited

Chapter 405 of My Hero Academia kicks off with All Might engaging in an uncanny conversation with Sir Nighteye, who acknowledges that this encounter should've marked the end of his life. However, destiny takes a twisted turn, thanks to the interference of Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo. All Might reflects on the conventional notion of mentors sacrificing themselves and passing on their legacies, but Nighteye dismisses it as something fit for comic books.

After the hallucination, Nighteye reminded Bakugo that Heroes are also human, leading to a global reaction to Bakugo's heroic save of All Might's life. Despite an unsafe landing on a nearby roof, both Bakugo and All Might were unharmed. Concerned, All Might asked Bakugo if he was okay, but Bakugo, in his usual style, responded by acknowledging that it was his line before coughing up blood.

In My Hero Academia chapter 405, Edgeshot intervened by stating that it was actually his responsibility to take care of Bakugo's injuries. He skillfully stitched up Bakugo's body and explained that forcing him to vomit blood was necessary due to the excessive amount inside. Edgeshot assured that Bakugo's bones and organs would no longer collapse, but cautioned that even the slightest movement would cause excruciating pain, emphasizing that Bakugo's body was not designed for combat.

Bakugo expressed his gratitude towards his senior for granting him the chance to continue living. However, Edgeshot clarified that he could only bind things together, and lacked the ability to restart Bakugo's heart and lungs. When the situation seemed to suggest that either Edgeshot or Bakugo would have to sacrifice their life, a single drop of Bakugo's explosive sweat swiftly coursed through his bloodstream, reigniting his heart. Thus, it was the immense effort Bakugo had dedicated to improving his own Quirk that ultimately revived him.

In My Hero Academia chapter 405, Bakugo amusingly asks if the shining child is All For One, which is confirmed by All Might. All Might then requests for the boy's arm, noting that even if it is no longer functional, it can still serve as a makeshift splint. Apologetically, All Might presents Bakugo with the Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight gauntlet, bringing a smile to Bakugo's face due to its name and All Might's apology for not being able to offer anything else.

Meanwhile, All For One internally resolves that he cannot waste any more time and must prioritize merging with Shigaraki and obtaining One For All. However, his anger rises as he recalls all the individuals who had opposed him in the ongoing war. Struggling to contain his rage, he wonders why everything seems to be going so horribly wrong.

Before he has a chance to decide on a course of action, My Hero Academia chapter 405 introduces Bakugo, who boldly proclaims himself as All For One's ultimate adversary. As All For One reflects on One For All's Second User, Bakugo launches a formidable explosion, striking him. The chapter concludes with Bakugo asserting that he is the one who steps up when Izuku "Deku" Midoriya is unable to handle everything alone.

My Hero Academia chapter 405: In summation

Chapter 405 of My Hero Academia is a compact yet delightful installment which effectively sets the stage for an exhilarating showdown between Bakugo and All For One. Despite All For One's seemingly overpowering fury, it is evident that he will prioritize his confrontation with Bakugo over any rational course of action.

In My Hero Academia chapter 405, All Might's significant role in defeating All For One is established when he gives Bakugo the last remaining gauntlet of his armor. Despite All Might's belief that it no longer functions, fans can anticipate the gauntlet becoming a crucial asset for Bakugo, potentially delivering the final blow that ultimately ends All For One.
