Observers couldn't help but notice the undeniable bond between Bakugo and Deku. Even in the face of Bakugo's supposed demise, his last thoughts were consumed with Deku, a clear indication of their profound connection. Upon his highly anticipated revival, Bakugo's eyes were fixed on none other than Deku, solidifying their destiny to unite and confront the ultimate adversaries of the series.
That being said, there were numerous fans who questioned Bakugo's capability to assist Deku due to his recent resurrection. They felt that he still needed time to rest and recuperate. However, despite this, Bakugo immediately joined the battle, leading fans to doubt his remaining strength. Consequently, concerns arose that Bakugo's comeback would not meet their expectations.
Meanwhile, some fans were unsatisfied with Bakugo's return, considering it too predictable that he would save All Might. Nevertheless, given the sequence of events, this was one of only two plausible plot points, the alternative being All Might sacrificing himself to weaken All For One.

As My Hero Academia fans rejoiced over Bakugo's comeback, supporters of Jujutsu Kaisen saw it as a positive sign for the return of Kugisaki Nobara in their own series. On the other hand, some Jujutsu Kaisen fans playfully speculated about a hypothetical encounter between Bakugo and Gojo. Having recently met his demise in the storyline, fans jokingly imagined Gojo crossing paths with Bakugo as he made his way to the afterlife, coincidentally while Bakugo was returning from the same destination.
