All Might's Failed Attack

"The long-awaited showdown between All Might and All For One finally reaches its climax in this chapter. Despite the overwhelming power of All For One, fans clung to a glimmer of hope as All Might unleashed his final trump card. My Hero Academia chapter 403 not only unraveled this epic battle but also unravelled a series of unforeseen events that left fans utterly astounded."

In the climactic finale of My Hero Academia chapter 402, All Might braced himself for his ultimate assault against All For One. Adored by fans, All Might was fully aware that confronting All For One head-on would be futile without his former powers. The overwhelming might possessed by the malevolent demon king left All Might no room for competition. Alas, the impossibility of reclaiming his lost abilities made the odds against him insurmountable from the very beginning. Nevertheless, All Might had devised a series of backup strategies, which he aimed to implement in the closing moments of My Hero Academia chapter 402.

All For One's Victory

The succeeding chapter effectively delved into All Might's meticulous plans, only to witness their swift demise. All Might had strategized to harness his Explosive abilities in a self-destructive act that would inflict immense harm upon All For One. The ultimate goal was to prompt his adversary to manifest his regressive power, reverting him to a helpless infant. This tactic aimed to drastically debilitate All For One and ensure the thwarting of his malevolent ambitions. Unfortunately for All Might, fate had an alternative design in mind. His arms were impaled, rendering his explosive braces completely annihilated. Regrettably, this was not the extent of his anguish. All For One employed the Bloodcurdle ability to immobilize All Might, leaving him helplessly ensnared. Having consumed the hero's blood, All For One now had the upper hand, spelling the definitive downfall of the once revered Number One Hero.

Following All For One's usage of Bloodcurdle to paralyze All Might, it became evident that victory was within reach. All Might had exhausted all his strategies in combatting All For One and he himself acknowledged this reality. A profound sense of despair appeared on his face as he grappled with the realization that he was facing imminent death and failing millions of others who depended on him as their Hero. This day marked one of the most triumphant moments for All For One. Not only did he successfully crush All Might in battle, but he also relished the opportunity to witness All Might's complete devastation.

The incredible expression of helplessness and powerlessness on his face was not something he could find enjoyment in. All For One, seizing the moment, proceeded to take the next step - to bring about his demise in front of the entire world. As the world's eyes were fixed upon the battle unfolding, it seemed that All Might's end was at hand. With desperate hopes and fervent prayers, everyone yearned for a Hero to intervene and transform the course of the fight. Though initially deemed a hopeless situation, their prayers were ultimately answered when Bakugo emerged as a Hero in the final moments of the chapter.

Bakugo's Return

After a devastating defeat at the hands of Shigaraki, Bakugo faced the severe consequences of having his chest torn apart and his organs completely destroyed. Thankfully, Best Jeanist and Edgeshot came to his rescue, utilizing their Quirks in an astonishing display of cooperation. Despite their heroic efforts, Bakugo's recovery would not occur overnight. Consequently, he remained absent from the pages of the manga for over a year, leaving fans eagerly anticipating his eventual return.

Horikoshi's return could not have been timed better, a stroke of brilliance that delighted every fan. With All Might's era drawing to a close, Bakugo is determined to ensure that he leaves on a triumphant note instead of meeting a humiliating fate. Now that Bakugo has arrived, it is time for him to strike back. The moment Bakugo appeared, Deku took notice and their gazes met. Though no words were exchanged, Bakugo understands that Deku is entrusting him with a monumental task that he cannot accomplish alone. Simultaneously, Bakugo needs no instructions because, in his eyes, All Might has always been a source of inspiration. In the end, even if All Might cannot personally defeat All For One, his students certainly can, and that victory is also his to share.

The Beginning Of A New Era

With Bakugo's return, a new era looms ahead, and My Hero Academia is poised to delve into it in the upcoming chapters. The spotlight will be firmly on Bakugo, as these chapters become a defining moment for his character. Every My Hero Academia fan is well aware that Bakugo shoulders the blame for All Might's downfall. He carries the burden of being the cause behind the Symbol of Peace losing his powers, an unforgivable reality that haunts him. However, now is his chance to make amends, to rescue All Might as he teeters on the edge of mortality, staring death in the face. This is Bakugo's moment to shine, to save the one he blames himself for, and with any luck, to find forgiveness in the process.

Bakugo's main responsibility going forward is to eliminate All For One once and for all, allowing Deku to handle the remaining tasks. It's important for fans to remember that Bakugo is not currently in his prime and therefore unable to effectively combat the power of All For One. However, he can make one final effort, and if All Might is able to assist, there may be a chance to permanently address the threat of All For One. After that, My Hero Academia will explicitly focus on the ultimate battle between Deku and Shigaraki, which will serve as the concluding fight for the entire series. At this point, the story is nearing its conclusion, and it is evident that every chapter from here on out will hold significant importance.

Fans can read My Hero Academia through official channels such as Viz Media. The series is available for free on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. The release date for the next chapter, My Hero Academia chapter 403, is scheduled for October 15, 2023.
