Chapter 404 recap

In My Hero Academia chapter 404, the story starts with a reminder of Sir Nighteye's prediction about All Might's demise. All Might is shown being torn apart by All For One, while the wind blows and people worldwide carry on with their daily lives. Some people discuss Meryl, the popular weather reporter, and her impactful speech, while others focus on All Might's battle or simply choose to ignore both.

Next, Bakugo is seen soaring through the sky towards Midoriya, who swiftly grabs his hand and starts spinning him around using Gearshift. Although the second user protests, they observe All Might's fading vestige and begin to understand Deku's motive. Subsequently, Deku propels Bakugo towards All Might and All For One, as Shigaraki mocks that they will not reach in time to save the former hero. The narrator then emphasizes the profound impact that the energy of wishes and prayers can have in shaping the world.

In the speech, a scene highlights Meryl discussing the butterfly effect, while Bakugo swiftly passes by a collection of panels that display the aspirations, reflections, and supplications of individuals globally. In that moment, Bakugo reminisces about the remorse he once experienced for being perceived as the one responsible for "ending" All Might. As this memory resurfaces, he forcefully deals a blow to All For One, liberating All Might, who is taken aback by Bakugo's intervention.

As the chapter concludes, Bakugo firmly declares the impending triumph, despite his mouth and nose bleeding profusely.

What to expect (speculative)

With Bakugo's recent return, it is highly probable that My Hero Academia chapter 405 will witness the inception of his true battle against All For One, who will undoubtedly retaliate. Bakugo's main objective is to escape with All Might and ensure their survival, but it is almost certain that the impulsive Bakugo will be provoked into facing the self-proclaimed Demon Lord.

Although My Hero Academia chapter 405 will likely concentrate exclusively on Bakugo, any attention given to Midoriya and Shigaraki will be brief. The primary focus should involve the two discussing their relationships with their respective mentors, thereby emphasizing the contrast in their characters. However, fans will soon be brought back to witness the epic clash between Bakugo and All For One in all its anticipated grandeur.
