Fans were highly anticipating chapter 405 of My Hero Academia to be a particularly poignant one in the story, and it is safe to say that Horikoshi delivered. The recent chapters in the manga have been exceptionally impressive. Despite the highs and lows of the Final War Saga, the majority of the battles have been thrilling, filled with fantastic action, and when necessary, emotionally impactful moments.

This is where the true strength of My Hero Academia lies, and it was once again demonstrated brilliantly in chapter 405. Bakugo has now officially joined the battle, and it is his responsibility to bring an end to all of this and defeat All For One once and for all.

Sir Nighteye Flashback

Nighteye's appearance at the start of the chapter was anticipated by fans, given the circumstances surrounding Yagi. All Might was believed to be on the brink of death, with clear indications throughout the story. Sir Nighteye explicitly stated that All Might was destined to meet a gruesome demise. However, All Might had previously promised to defy fate and take matters into his own hands, a pledge he made in front of Deku. This battle was meant to be All Might's most significant, as he not only defied fate but also guided his exceptional students to succeed where he had failed.

In this chapter, Sir Nighteye and Yagi engaged in a poignant conversation. Nighteye confirmed that this was the designated location of his death but also reassured Yagi that his demise had been successfully averted, ensuring his survival. Fans can now breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that All Might has overcome the worst. Nighteye eloquently expressed that heroes also deserve to be saved, as he now finds himself being rescued by his own students.

From this point forward, the narrative returns to the present timeline and fans are finally granted the opportunity to catch a glimpse of their beloved former Number One Hero. The Symbol of Peace may seem diminished in strength, yet remains as resolute as ever, particularly now that Bakugo has arrived to safeguard the day.

Bakugo Rescues All Might

Bakugo's exceptional heroics were demonstrated in the preceding chapter when he swiftly came to All Might's aid. With astonishing speed, he launched an attack on the formidable demon lord, catching him off guard. In the blink of an eye, All Might was liberated from the clutches of his assailant, while Bakugo remained oblivious to the fact that he had been battling none other than All For One. His unwavering focus and determination were solely fixated on the rescue mission to retrieve All Might. Having accomplished this feat, Bakugo now finds himself tasked with the crucial responsibility of vanquishing All For One.

Prior to this, the chapter provides fans with a detailed insight into how he was able to endure. Edgeshot utilized his Foldabody Quirk to enter his body and mend his fractured bones and organs. Despite the immense energy it drained from him, Edgeshot successfully held everything together, even at the expense of his own life. As mentioned in the chapter, only one person could survive such a sacrifice, meaning he would have to give up his own life for Bakugo. However, an unexpected miracle occurred at that very moment. The Quirk that Bakugo had been fortifying over the years came to his rescue. It seems that a single droplet of sweat within his body, which he typically utilizes to ignite his explosions, triggered a sudden change that revived him and allowed Edgeshot to survive as well.

Edgeshot expelled the excess blood from Bakugo's mouth and tended to his wounds, swiftly recovering his physical mobility. Nevertheless, Edgeshot cautioned Bakugo that regardless of his actions, he would experience significant pain. This is a sacrifice Bakugo is willing to make, as his admirers are well aware of his valiant character.

In My Hero Academia chapter 405, Bakugo shares a touching moment with All Might. Throughout his life, Bakugo has always felt overlooked by All Might, who has consistently shown more attention towards Deku. This has caused Bakugo some pain, as he longs to be the one that All Might focuses on and invests his time in. However, Deku has always been the person who receives this special treatment. But now, for the first time, All Might places his trust and faith in Bakugo, entrusting him with everything. This is a significant moment for Bakugo, but it also serves as a reminder to All Might that the younger generation is not solely led by Deku, but includes other powerful students as well.

At this point in the story, Bakugo's arms are injured. All Might provides him with hero equipment that supports his arms. All Might explains that this equipment acts as a splint, and without it, Bakugo's arms would be of limited use.

Bakugo Lands A Powerful Blow

All For One's unraveling state becomes evident in Chapter 405 of My Hero Academia. The once confident villain, who was brimming with self-assurance at the onset of the Final War Saga, now finds himself worn down by the relentless efforts of the Heroes. Frustrated and unable to comprehend why fate is working against him, All For One stands alone without any genuine allies or friends. Even those he mentored, like Shigaraki, fail to appreciate him due to his self-centered desires. The chapter skillfully depicts the stark contrast between All Might, who placed his faith and hopes in the next generation, and All For One, who must face his imminent demise in this era.

Equipped with All Might's hero weapon, Bakugo swiftly unleashed a staggering blow directly to All For One's face. The impact was so overwhelming that it consumed All For One entirely. Asserting himself as the ultimate adversary for All For One, Bakugo boldly declared that his time to perish had come at last. As Deku faced the limits of his abilities, Bakugo embraced his role as the primary hero. The future of My Hero Academia promises heightened excitement, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what lies ahead.
