My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising’s Important Moment

My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising is a 2019 Japanese animated superhero film based on an original plot starring the characters from the My Hero Academia manga series. In the film, which takes place after the manga’s Meta Liberation Army storyline, Izuku Midoriya and his friends visit Nabu Island, where they must defend a group of islanders from a villain with an inexplicable Quirk. In the finale of the second film, Deku transfers One for All to Bakugo in a moment of desperate circumstances allowing the two to fight side by side using the might of All Might’s Quirk.

The transfer was initially overlooked, but it now appears to be one of the most pivotal moments in the film. This is because the power may not only have helped Bakugo get stronger, but it also established a kind of connection between Bakugo and All Might. Fans are trying to connect the dots and are led to believe that the film might be canon after all.

Bakugo May Have The Power of One For All

In chapter 362, Bakugo forced his Quirk excessively, causing particles of nitroglycerin to accumulate inside his body, which blew and severely damaged his heart. When Bakugo was on the verge of death, he saw All Might’s vestige from within One for All visit him, as if to soothe him in his final moments. All Might was no longer present in One for All’s mindscape after that.

Many fans believe Bakugo knew All Might was in jeopardy due to the vestige, but it would only be true if he still had some link to One for All in his body, which must be from My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising. However, there is still no confirmed analysis of the situation and everything will be cleared only after Chapter 404.
