Spoilers for Chapter 363
Why, therefore, was Bakugo so popular? In case you forgot, it’s because All-for-One-controlled Tomura Shigaraki seemingly killed Bakugo in Chapter 362. Many viewers were shocked by Bakugo’s apparent death because he is one of the show’s most beloved main characters.
Even though the new chapter hasn’t been released officially yet, news of it has leaked online, sending fans into a tizzy on Twitter. If the reports that Bakugo was determined to have no pulse are accurate, then it appears that he has really passed away. But sometimes in shonen manga, the deaths aren’t what they seem.
Many shows have characters whose deaths are undone by a mysterious force. Theories abound on the internet regarding how Eri, a girl with the Rewind quirk who can return the body of a live creature to a former condition, may undo Bakugo’s death in My Hero Academia. Leaks and the events of Chapter 362 point to Bakugo’s death being final.
Fans have been passionately debating the fate of their favourite character online because it is still not certain. Fans have to wait for the next chapter’s official publication, or potentially longer, to find out if he is genuinely alive. In a few days, the formal release of My Hero Academia Chapter 363 will occur. The chapter will debut in Weekly Shonen Jump in Japan, and in countries outside of Japan, it will debut in Manga Plus, Viz, and the Shonen Jump App.
