Spoilers for My Hero Academia chapter 401 reveal a climactic battle between All Might, Stain, and All For One. Despite sustaining injuries, the former top-ranked Hero defiantly calls out to All For One. Meanwhile, a police report indicates that All For One has approached U.A. island, where Izuku Midoriya is engaged in a fierce confrontation with Tomura Shigaraki.

The villain, All For One, was able to utilize his Warp Teleportation technique due to the sufficient distance between himself and Tomura Shigaraki. Moreover, All For One had also managed to locate the island. Hence, there is a strong likelihood that the villain will set course towards U.A. island in order to reunite with Shigaraki.

However, this could also lead to Deku's reunion with All Might. In My Hero Academia chapter 401, Mangaka Kohei Horikoshi may be implying a significant confrontation between the two mentor-student duos. Additionally, considering All Might's unwavering determination, it is possible that he has a surprise strategy in store.

Considering the development of the storyline, it is also possible that a student from the support course might have become aware of All Might's battle with All For One. As a result, they may have devised a new device or weapon to assist the former top-ranked Hero in his fight against the villain.

In the upcoming chapter, it is possible that All For One will make his way towards the U.A. island, while a student from the support course might reach All Might's current location. If this were to happen, fans would likely be treated to a flashback chapter showcasing the character, revealing their preparation of a crucial tool before the events of My Hero Academia chapter 401.

Having said that, numerous fans eagerly anticipate the return of Katsuki Bakugo in the manga. However, considering the current progression of events in the series, it appears highly unlikely for Bakugo to be reintroduced at this particular juncture.

Kohei Horikoshi's characteristic storytelling often includes hints before a character's return. However, in the case of Bakugo's return in My Hero Academia chapter 401, the mangaka has not provided any such hints so far, suggesting that it may be a while until the hero re-enters the story.
