My Hero Academia chapter 404, which is scheduled for release this week, is expected to spark extensive discussions. This is primarily due to the impending demise of All Might and the return of Katsuki Bakugo. There is immense curiosity surrounding Bakugo's current condition and how he will face formidable opponents like All for One and Tomura Shigaraki. All Might's fate has been hanging in uncertainty for several chapters.
Additionally, fans eagerly anticipate My Hero Academia chapter 404 to witness whether or not Izuku "Deku" Midoriya will regain the spotlight. Despite being the central character and engaging in the crucial battle against Shigaraki, their confrontation has predominantly occurred off-screen. This is because author Kohei Horikoshi has been focusing on resolving other narrative threads.

My Hero Academia chapter 404 will probably show Bakugo's full return and All Might's fate
My Hero Academia chapter 404 has a lot on its plate with the return of Bakugo after being brought back to life by Edgeshot and All Might's imminent danger caused by All for One. As the young hero rejoins the battle, author Kohei Horikoshi is expected to shed light on Bakugo's revival, the fate of Edgeshot, the functioning of his heart, and his current condition following Shigaraki's brutal assault on his body.
Additionally, it is crucial for the resolution of All Might's battle with All for One to finally reach a conclusion. It would be intriguing to witness if this chapter presents that. The possibility of All Might's demise has been hinted at throughout the series, and his decision to sacrifice himself in order to defeat his lifelong enemy would have been a fitting outcome. However, Horikoshi chose not to pursue that option.
Furthermore, there is another issue that the chapter should address – the internal conflict between All for One and Tomura Shigaraki. Both characters are engaged in their own personal struggle. All for One desires for Shigaraki to take on his body and gain even greater power, whereas Shigaraki desires to be his own master. Consequently, there is only one path forward: these two characters must confront each other to determine who truly embodies the Symbol of Fear.

Addressing the sidelining of Deku in the My Hero Academia chapter 404 is another crucial aspect that needs attention. While the battle in the story has only spanned a few hours, it's been nearly a year since Izuku has been truly in the spotlight in the manga. Horikoshi has instead chosen to focus on the conflicts within the Todoroki family involving Dabi, All Might's confrontation with All for One, and Uraraka's struggles with Toga.
While it is important for Deku to have a significant opportunity to showcase his abilities, considering he is the protagonist, the bearer of One for All, and the one capable of defeating Shigaraki, it is crucial to now shift the focus towards the main event. With the other subplots resolved, it is time to highlight the remarkable progress of both Deku and Shigaraki throughout the series.
Additionally, it is noteworthy to mention Bakugo's potential role in this battle, as many fans anticipate his involvement in saving All Might and confronting All for One. While this seems like the most logical scenario, it remains to be seen in My Hero Academia chapter 404.
