Bakugo Katsuki, who suffered a fatal injury in his fight against Shigaraki, is set to make a comeback on the battlefield, as revealed in the latest spoilers from My Hero Academia chapter 403. In chapter 362, Bakugo was dealt a lethal blow by Shigaraki, causing his heart to rupture and bringing him to the brink of death. However, thanks to the heroic intervention of Edgeshot, who utilized his quirk Foldabody to enter Bakugo's body and mend his heart, Bakugo's demise was averted. This turn of events came as a surprise to readers, considering the way the battle was crafted by Horikoshi through strategically placed flashbacks.

Having acknowledged his immense popularity among fans, the mangaka made the choice to reintroduce this young hero. In chapter 403 of My Hero Academia, Bakugo makes a triumphant return, joining forces with other heroes to rescue All Might from AFO's vicious attack.
Following his emergence as the prominent figure in Jujutsu Kaisen, Gojo Satoru's untimely passing in chapter 236 left his devoted supporters in a state of profound bereavement, prompting them to express their grief across various social media platforms.
Gojo appeared to have emerged victorious against Sukuna, but the latter unleashed a devastating strike that sliced him in half, shattering even his powerful cursed technique. This attack cut through dimensions themselves.
As long as Gojo's boundless power remained within the boundaries of the "world," Sukuna's assault was certain to find its mark. The most formidable sorcerer of our era couldn't foresee the Curses' King's desperate final gambit and met his demise. Despite his death, fans hold onto hope that Gojo may make a comeback in Jujutsu Kaisen.

The reemergence of Bakugo Katsuki in My Hero Academia has further solidified this belief. Nevertheless, it is evident that Gojo's situation is far more distressing. After being cleaved in half in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, the prospects of his return appear grim.
That being said, fans continue to hold onto hope and have flocked to X (formerly Twitter) to express their sentiments regarding Gojo's destiny. As per the majority of fans, Bakugo's comeback in My Hero Academia has paved the way for the potential return of the most formidable sorcerer of contemporary times in Gege Akutami's manga.

Speculation among fans suggests that the close friendship between Gege Akutami and Kohei Horikoshi, the creators of Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia respectively, may lead to Bakugo's revival affecting a different outcome for Gojo in future chapters. Some fans even point out that Horikoshi intended Bakugo's return, whereas Akutami emphasized Gojo's death more explicitly by portraying him in purgatory. Interestingly, a few fans have also noted that while Horikoshi holds a fondness for his characters, Akutami is willing to sacrifice characters for the progression of the story.
