In case some fans have forgotten, Bakugo's heart was pierced by Tomura Shigaraki, leaving him on the verge of his final breaths. It was at this critical moment that Edgeshot intervened, entering his body with the intention of aiding in the mending of his internal injuries.

Fortunately, according to the spoilers in My Hero Academia chapter 405, Edgeshot successfully healed Bakugo's bones and organs. However, despite the hero's warning, Bakugo's body was not in optimal condition for battle. As a result, he was forced to endure constant excruciating pain throughout his entire body.

In light of Edgeshot's warning, it became clear that the treatment he provided the young hero was primarily focused on ensuring his survival. It served as a temporary measure to delay death, with the intention of allowing for a later healing process. This could only occur if Bakugo allowed his body to rest and recover.

However, upon awakening from his prolonged rest, Katsuki Bakugo returned to the battlefield determined to save his idol, All Might. While his emotional drive to rescue All Might is understandable, there is no justification for him to continue fighting and face All For One in his current state. Consequently, his defeat appears inevitable.

It is important to note that Bakugo's Quirk not only exerts immense force on him to make him float and attack, but it also exacerbates his existing internal injuries. These sudden movements can further damage his already hurt body. Therefore, Bakugo not only poses a threat to his opponents but also to himself, as his Quirk can intensify the pain he was already destined to endure due to his injuries.

If all such factors are calculated, the only logical method of winning for Bakugo seems to be a support item.

Based on the spoilers of My Hero Academia chapter 405, Bakugo is presented with a gauntlet by All Might, which is specifically named after his own hero name. It is implied that this gauntlet possesses significant power, suggesting that Bakugo's defeat is highly likely if he is unable to effectively utilize this support item.

Moreover, it is crucial to acknowledge the cunning nature of the villain, All For One. Despite facing unfavorable circumstances, it is entirely plausible that he will devise a clever strategy that could potentially result in the easy defeat of the series' second most important character.
