My Hero Academia Chapter 405 Uncovers Edgeshot's Destiny (and Leaves Fans Surprised)

The spoilers for My Hero Academia chapter 405, scheduled for release on October 30, 2023, have already surfaced. They reveal the outcome of Edgeshot, a pro-hero who took on the task of healing Bakugo's damaged heart at the cost of his own lifespan. With the help of his quirk Foldabody, Edgeshot was able to enter Bakugo's body and mend his heart from the inside. Due to Bakugo's return to the battlefield in chapter 403, it is evident that Edgeshot's mission was a success.

Mangaka Kohei Horikoshi withheld the pro-hero's ultimate destiny until the most recent chapter, much to the disappointment of some fans. Unfortunately, Edgeshot's favorable condition in My Hero Academia chapter 405 has not been well-received.

The survival of hero Edgeshot has been confirmed in chapter 405 of My Hero Academia through leaked spoilers and raw scans. It was revealed that Edgeshot emerged from Bakugo's heart, although he is now in a diminished state. Despite his survival, the pro-hero appears to be lacking sufficient energy to confront their adversaries. Prior to this, fans had speculated that Edgeshot had become a part of Bakugo's heart as a means of saving him. However, the newest spoilers from chapter 405 disprove these theories and depict the hero's comeback.

As seen in the anime (Image via Bones), Edgeshot emerged from Bakugo's heart in a miniature form after the latter expelled blood from his mouth. Edgeshot claimed responsibility for causing Bakugo to cough up a portion of the blood that had built up in his chest.

My Hero Academia chapter 405 unveiled the method in which Edgeshot employed his own body to mend Bakugo's fractured bones and injured organs, subsequent to Bakugo's confrontation with Shigaraki. Nevertheless, the pro-hero cautioned Bakugo about surpassing his limits, as he would persistently endure excruciating pain.

The young hero was informed by Edgeshot that his physical condition was not optimal for combat. In My Hero Academia chapter 405, it was revealed that Bakugo's rescue was not solely due to Edgeshot's efforts. Despite the restoration of his body, Bakugo's heart remained inactive.

In the midst of Edgeshot's exhaustion, he observed a bead of sweat flowing through Bakugo's veins, causing an explosion within him and stimulating his heartbeat. Essentially, Bakugo's own unique power acted as a defibrillator to save him.

In My Hero Academia, Edgeshot's heroic actions were tarnished by this specific incident. Nevertheless, it is undeniable that Bakugo owed his survival to him. Without the pro-hero's prompt treatment of the young hero's injuries, Bakugo's quirk would not have functioned as a defibrillator.

Fans of My Hero Academia expressed their disappointment with the latest chapter as they felt that the return of Pro-Hero Edgeshot did not deliver a satisfying outcome. They expressed their opinions on X (formerly Twitter), stating that they did not consider Edgeshot's sacrifice to be meaningful. This sentiment stemmed from the fact that Bakugo's own quirk played a crucial role in his survival. Despite using his body to heal Bakugo's injuries, Edgeshot did not have a prominent moment in the chapter, leaving fans wanting more. Moreover, many fans doubted Edgeshot's survival, finding it too coincidental that everything worked out perfectly for everyone.
