The article “The ‘death’ of a beloved character shakes social networks” includes spoilers from the latest chapter of the Boku no Hero Academia manga. Discretion is advised.
Readers of any manga that is published in the magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump They know that on Thursdays (Fridays in Japan) they can already find out about the leaks of the next edition of the magazine, that is, spoilers of the next chapter of their favorite series. This occurs because Shueisha sends the magazine in advance to some remote regions of its headquarters (if it sent everything on the same day, some places would receive the batch several days later), so some store managers do not hesitate to take pictures and upload them to the Internet. But it was precisely this that shook social networks recently. When readers of the manga written and illustrated by Kohei Horikoshi, boku no hero academia (My Hero Academia), they entered to read the spoilers of the next chapter of the work, which is currently in the “Arc of the Last War”, they could not believe their eyes. When they reviewed the leaks (which evidently arrive untranslated), they were in disbelief and disbelief at the situation, there it lay Katsuki Bakugo, lying on the ground and seemingly remembering his past for a moment. But when the translation arrived, nobody could believe it: «your heart has stopped». That’s right, Bakugo is dead, or so it seems.
Let’s review a bit about the timeline that can be gleaned from the chapter leaks:
When all hope seemed lost, Bakugo stood up. As he struggled, Bakugo thought to himself, “Can I still follow you, Izuku?” He was moving so fast that Shigaraki couldn’t keep up with him.
Bakugo, who can now produce cluster explosions, is quite strong. We have a narration that explains Bakugo’s Quirk and it is said that the Cluster has the secondary effect of exploding all over his body.
We then see that Shigaraki/All For One doesn’t understand why he’s worried, even though his opponent isn’t a One For All user. But when he started to remember the second One For All user, Bakugo went on the attack. Suddenly, the page showed Bakugou, who was looking at All Might’s shadow.
Elsewhere, the news reported that the surrounding temperature suddenly rose, leaving civilians confused. Then the page showed Bakugo’s parents.
And all the heroes were shocked, Bakugo’s heart had stopped, he was lying on the ground. The last page has blood on Bakugo’s face, and you can see All Might’s trading card nearby, which Bakugo was waiting for him to sign.
The leak left fans of the franchise frozen, especially women, because Katsuki Bakugo is an extremely popular character among the female community, and even more so among the fujoshi, who ship him with Izuku Midoriya. Of course, there is always the possibility that he is “not really dead” as in hundreds of shonen manga stories, but the cliffhanger has been too spectacular. and has put boku no hero academia in trends the last twenty-four hours. Why don’t we take a look at some of the most popular comments? “His death of hers was broadcast live… And her parents saw it.” “I don’t know about you, but Bakugo’s death didn’t move me one bit. Maybe it was poorly executed?». «The only good thing about Bakugo is his mother». «I’ve seen Bakugo dance with death on multiple occasions and survive, so instead of saying “Fuck, he died!”, I thought “Now is he really dead?” At this point I don’t know what Horikoshi could be thinking ».« Imagine that Bakugo really dies and at the end of Boku no Hero Academia Deku and Uraraka appear visiting her grave with her newborn baby. Sound familiar to you?». «Bakugo sacrificed himself so that Haikyuu!! got its fifth season. Respect.” “I don’t want Bakugo to die… Please, Horikoshi, tell me this is a joke… Please, please, please, please… Don’t do this to us… We love Bakugo very much… Please… Tell me that It’s not true…». «Is there really someone who still believes that Horikoshi is going to kill someone from the main cast?». «I don’t want Bakugo to die, I need him alive to marry Deku». «I really don’t know what what to do with myself if he dies for real and doesn’t miraculously come back i’m really worried about my health he’s literally tattooed on my body he’s my whole world i don’t care how sad it sounds i know it’s not healthy but Damn!” “If Bakugo dies, I’ll go into my Villain Arc myself.”

The emergence of “Quirks”, newly discovered superpowers, has increased steadily over the years, with 80 percent of humanity possessing various abilities, from manipulating elements to shapeshifting.
