My Hero Academia chapter 402 showing All Might using a Bakugo-inspired move suggests his return soon

Brief spoiler recap

According to rumors, My Hero Academia chapter 402 begins with a quick update on the impact of Shoto Todoroki and Ochaco Uraraka's recent victories. Mei Hatsume reveals that U.A. can once again float now that the threat of the Twice clones has been eliminated.

In the meantime, Izuku "Deku" Midoriya is preventing Tomura Shigaraki from attacking U.A. and the injured fighters. All For One attempts to take over Shigaraki's body using the teleport goop Quirk, but Shigaraki manages to resist.

Shifting to "plan B," All For One seizes All Might by the leg and carries him towards the battlefield where Deku and Shigaraki are. All For One states that All Might must face the consequences of instilling dreams in both children, while Shigaraki threatens to kill everyone at U.A. while rescuing All Might. Despite suppressing his emotions until now, this causes Deku to break down, while All Might reflects on their initial encounter.

In My Hero Academia chapter 402, All Might then grabs All For One by the neck using his final armor gauntlet, triggering All For One's recollection of Nana Shimura's last words. She had told him that All Might would emerge victorious because he possesses a greater level of madness. At present, All Might boldly declares that All For One will revert back to a kindergartener if he perishes again. The chapter concludes with the gauntlet on All Might's arm exploding, unfortunately announcing a hiatus for the series in the following week as well.

Why All Might’s final move is inspired by Bakugo, explained

The similarities between All Might and Katsuki Bakugo's gauntlets are noticeable in both their design and the fact that they both utilize explosive attacks. Fans have observed that Bakugo's gauntlet appears to be a slightly modified version of All Might's, with the only difference being the decorative grenade. This observation is further supported by the fact that All Might had previously used moves inspired by every Class 1-A student except for Bakugo in his fight against All For One. It is evident that All Might's final attack is a tribute to Bakugo, even without an official confirmation from All Might himself.

Fans are understandably thrilled to witness Horikoshi's ability to skillfully conclude this theme in My Hero Academia chapter 402, with the aspect of All Might and All For One's battle receiving immense praise.

However, fans are filled with anticipation as they ponder the possibility of Bakugo making a comeback in the next chapter. After being incapacitated for over a year in the real world, fans are eagerly awaiting his reappearance.

Moreover, this situation may lead to a scenario where Bakugo blames himself for All Might's demise if the former Symbol of Peace's latest plan does result in his death. Although fans are thrilled at the potential return of Bakugo, many also feel a sense of regret that this might be the circumstances surrounding his comeback, as he is a beloved character among fans.
