My Hero Academia chapter 403 has kept all the fans on the edge of their seats, especially after the incredibly intense cliffhanger that the last chapter ended on. It was clear that the Final War Saga of the story was now headed towards its climax, with more focus being thrown on the fight between Deku and Shigaraki.
My Hero Academia Sets Up Its Biggest Death So Far
All Might could be about to die in My Hero Academia.
However, the bigger focus of the previous chapter was, of course, All Might. All For One brought All Might with him to the site where Deku and Shigaraki were clashing and, there, proceeded to attempt to kill the Symbol of Peace. Of course, as fans saw in the chapter, All Might responded by trying to blow himself up. The manga left off at a great cliffhanger that could have ended the Symbol of Peace for good. My Hero Academia chapter 403 spoilers are finally out and it appears that All Might has survived after all and a major character has returned.
All Might's Attack Fails
In the previous chapter of the story, All Might attempted to launch a powerful attack on All For One and revert him to the body of a toddler. If the plan had proceeded as he wanted, then All For One would have been crippled largely and could not have got what he wanted. However, the price to pay for this would have been huge as All Might himself would have been dead. Towards the end of the previous chapter, All Might started the process of blowing himself up, however, in My Hero Academia chapter 403, it is made quite clear that the attempt to do this largely failed.
This was down to All For One, who was apparently prepared for the attack. All For One mentioned that he knows that injured heroes hit very hard and, for that reason, he had already laid down plans on what to do if All Might responded. This meant that the situation went from bad to worse for All Might as now, he was largely powerless in the fight against All For One and looking directly in the face of death. It appears that My Hero Academia chapter 403 intends to tug on the heartstrings of the fans and do so in quite an intense manner. Fans could very well have been looking at the end of All Might, however, interesting events take place as My Hero Academia chapter 403 progresses.
All For One Uses Stain's Power
My Hero Academia chapter 403 leaks also clearly mentioned that All For One used his many Quirk powers to nullify the attack that All Might was attempting to launch. As seen towards the end of the previous chapter, All Might's attack was largely based on the ability that Bakugo possesses, Explosion. He intended to blow himself up and the resulting explosion would have injured All For One to the point where he had to revert to the body of a toddler. However, All For One had already seen this coming and he used his Quirk to sabotage All Might's arms which he intended to start the explosion with.
Is My Hero Academia's Final War Arc Failing?
Will My Hero Academia receive a final arc that will leave the fans satisfied?
With his arms damaged, he then proceeded to paralyze him using the Quirk of Stain, Bloodcurdle. This Quirk was stolen by him in the previous chapter. A confirmation for that was not provided in the chapter, however, in this chapter, he's clearly seen using this ability and paralyzing All Might for good. This means All For One is now stronger than ever before and he has even more powerful Quirks up his sleeve, using a combination of which he could even restrain All Might and leave him dangling to his fate. With that done, All Might was now helpless and looking death in the eye, preparing to finally say goodbye to life.
Bakugo's Return To Battle
My Hero Academia chapter 403 also looks like it sees the return of a major character, Bakugo. Fans know that Bakugo was injured quite a long time ago, and they've had to wait over a year in order to see him return to the story. Bakugo was brutally injured while fighting against Shigaraki and he was later helped by Best Jeanist and Edgeshot. without them, he certainly would have died, however, he managed to survive, thanks to those two. Still, even in the aftermath of war, it was clear that Bakugo was not ready to join the battle just yet.
However, My Hero Academia chapter 403 sees the script flip on its head and Bakugo return once again. Fans do not see much of him, however, he's clearly standing and walking towards the battlefield. Once again, Deku has tears in his eyes and he cries seeing him once again. Furthermore, this is also down to the fact that All Might is in front of his eyes, about to die. It appears that the job of saving All Might now falls to Bakugo and this ties in beautifully to the fact that Bakugo believes that he was the one who ended All Might for the first time by getting kidnapped. This time, he will repay the favor by saving All Might from death and, at the same time, ending All For One for good.
The Beginning Of A New Era
From here onwards, it is quite clear that My Hero Academia will enter its final phase. My Hero Academia chapter 403 will set the tone for what is to come. It appears that the heroes have hope once again after all of it was lost over the course of the last few chapters. All Might did what he could and now, it is time for Bakugo to take over and reduce All For One to nothing. Meanwhile, Deku will be focused on Shigaraki and these two characters are going to fight out what is the last battle in the entirety of the manga.
By all means, it is clear that My Hero Academia is not going to last too long now. The manga will likely come to an end very soon and fans are incredibly excited to see how the final phase of the Final War Saga ends up concluding. For now, things seem to be moving at a blistering pace in the favor of the Heroes since the vast majority of the battles have been won by them, however, the two strongest on the enemy side still stand. It is now up to Deku and Bakugo to put an end to them for good and fans cannot wait to see that happen over the course of the next few chapters.
Thankfully, fans will not have to wait long for the next chapter of My Hero Academia, as the manga doesn't appear to be on any break in the coming week. This means My Hero Academia chapter 404 will be published right on time and fans can be happy about that.
My Hero Academia is available to read via Viz Media. The series can be read by the fans officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and the Manga Plus app. The release date for the next chapter of My Hero Academia, My Hero Academia chapter 403, is set to be October 15, 2023.
