Chapter 403 recap
The opening of chapter 403 of My Hero Academia featured a heartwarming scene where a young All Might, portrayed as a baby, cherished moments spent alongside his mother while engrossed in the pages of the beloved Anpanman manga. Reflecting on the early stages of his life, All Might acknowledged that upon retrospection, the strides he took appeared inconsequential.
All For One thwarted All Might's final assault by using a spike Quirk that damaged his gauntlet. He then immobilized All Might by consuming his blood, utilizing Stain's Bloodcurdle Quirk, which he had recently stolen. Gentle Criminal attempted to come to Deku and All Might's aid but was stopped by All For One, who shot a laser through U.A., causing it to collapse again.
In the midst of the chaos, the fighter jets that once accompanied Star and Stripe made an effort to attack All For One but were swiftly obliterated. As the world's population watched in horror as All For One targeted All Might, Deku shifted his gaze towards U.A., noticing a figure standing on the outskirts.
The chapter ended by revealing that Katsuki Bakugo had been revived and was seemingly ready to join the fight once again.

Anticipating Bakugo's comeback, My Hero Academia chapter 404 is forecasted to commence with a concise flashback illustrating the immediate aftermath of his revival. However, this sequence is expected to swiftly shift its focus towards the ongoing events, which will probably witness Bakugo hastily rushing to All Might's rescue.
In My Hero Academia chapter 404, the spotlight should be on Deku as he hones in on facing Tomura Shigaraki. While there may be some playful banter exchanged between the two, fans can anticipate a composed and relieved Deku, especially now that Bakugo has returned. It is expected that the chapter will conclude with both All For One and Bakugo engaging in a battle, while Deku confronts Shigaraki head-on.
