Bakugo's Explosive Inspiration in My Hero Academia Chapter 401: Unveiling All Might's Jaw-Dropping Move!

The alleged spoilers and raw scans for My Hero Academia chapter 401 were leaked on Wednesday, September 20, 2023, giving fans an early glimpse of the highly anticipated upcoming issue. Although these leaks are not an official release from Shueisha, the leaker community associated with the series is generally considered trustworthy enough to treat the events as canon.

Consequently, fans are currently engaging in discussions about these alleged spoilers for My Hero Academia chapter 401 as if it were already officially released. This is to be expected, considering the thrilling nature of the issue, in which All For One once again utilizes his Quirk to narrowly escape death and gain an advantage over All Might and Stain.

My Hero Academia chapter 401's supposed spoilers and raw scans sadly unveil the complete absence of All Might's armor, hinting at the possibility of his imminent demise. Nonetheless, there is a tantalizing hint from Horikoshi that fragments of his armor persist, and may undergo a transformation into a support device inspired by none other than Katsuki Bakugo.

My Hero Academia chapter 401 teasing Hercules’ status suggests a move inspired by Katsuki Bakugo is coming

In My Hero Academia chapter 401, the alleged spoilers begin with a flashback depicting Stain's arrival at the battle. In the present, Stain questions whether All Might comprehended the words he spoke to him in Kamino. All Might confirms his understanding, leading to both of them launching a simultaneous attack, each exclaiming, "I am here." However, All For One employs a combination of Quirks to enable his movement, revealing that he anticipated Stain's intervention.

Subsequently, a mouth emerges from All For One's back and bites Stain, causing him to be thrown several blocks away into a game center. All For One intends to steal Stain's Quirk and informs him that his role in this narrative has concluded, while All Might approaches them in flight.

Next, Stain disputes this, but All For One strikes him with a powerful punch, resulting in a bloody spurt as he concludes his statement. All For One then turns around and unleashes a laser beam towards All Might, only to be intercepted by Hercules who steps in to protect him.

In chapter 401 of My Hero Academia, All Might expresses confusion at the presence of remnants of Hercules. However, before he can receive an answer, the car urges him to live before being obliterated. All Might is then shown lying on the ground, devoid of his support items and unable to move his legs. A smiling All Might desperately crawls on the ground, while it is revealed that All For One is dangerously close and capable of teleporting to the descending U.A. The issue concludes with this revelation.

Brief spoiler recap

As mentioned in the spoiler recap above, All Might is revealed to have supposedly exhausted all of his support items and seemingly depleted the Hercules car during his battle with All For One. In simpler terms, it seems like All Might no longer has a way to defend himself against the self-proclaimed Demon Lord, despite still possessing the determination and drive to fight.

However, this is likely a misleading clue, as All Might himself confesses in chapter 401 of My Hero Academia that he was uncertain about the amount of Hercules remaining. Since Hercules has provided All Might with all of his support tools and armor up to this point, it suggests that there might be one more support tool yet to be revealed. Not surprisingly, the only student who hasn't had a support tool utilized in their name and image is none other than Katsuki Bakugo.

Considering this, it's highly possible that All Might refrained from using the move influenced by Bakugo in chapter 401 due to his unawareness of the remaining support item at his disposal. Presently, as both All For One and All Might approach Tomura Shigaraki and Izuku Midoriya, it appears that the highly anticipated climax of the series' battle is rapidly approaching.

Upon their reunion, it is highly probable that they will be accompanied by the revived Katsuki Bakugo, whose whereabouts haven't been updated for a considerable period of time. At this point, it is plausible that All Might will unveil a support item inspired by Bakugo, utilizing it together with Bakugo's own unique ability. While this is mere speculation, it is likely the reason why All Might did not employ a move inspired by Bakugo in chapter 401 of My Hero Academia.
