My Hero Academia season 4 is currently ongoing. The anime began airing in 2016. Since then, it has produced several memorable moments. Apart from having a great plot, the character development, background art, animation, etc., made My Hero Academia one of the most sought-after anime. The anime is about to enter the final saga, and the manga is in its final stretch.
Kohei Horikoshi’s magnum opus started with a light tone, but as the League of Villains gained momentum, the events became darker. All for One and Shigaraki Tomura have hurt many Pro-Heroes, but the latest one might be the most painful. My Hero Academia‘s latest episode featured Bakugo Katsuri vs. Tomura Shigaraki. The outcome broke millions of hearts.
Bakugo Katsuri’s Pro-Hero Career Might Be Over
My Hero Academia season 7 episode 11 aired on July 20, 2024, and is named, “Light Fades to Rain.” It featured Bakugo Katsuri taking on Tomura Shigaraki. While the other Pro-Heroes were getting overwhelmed by the villain, an injured Bakugo entered the battlefield. He instantly made an impact by using his new ability. His new ability, Cluster, allowed him to store sweat balls and release it from his palm. But it also had a side effect. The stored sweat balls could come out from any part of his body.

The voice acting, direction, ost…they did the Bakugo death scene justice pic.twitter.com/FCmWVXFxU8
He kept up with the villain, which shocked the latter. But soon, the Pro-Hero could feel the toll upon his body. In a moment of desperation, Shigaraki managed to land a powerful blow. Best Jeanist, Eraser Head, and all the Pro-Heroes saw in horror as a bloodied Bakugo lay on the ground, and he was not moving. There was a flashback where he was seen happy to win an All Might card during his childhood. There were also moments when he was embraced by All Might.
Bakugo’s condition left the entire My Hero Academia fandom worried. He is resilient and always finds some way to come out victorious. Even though it was a saddening moment, the fans could not help but praise Studio Bones’ work. The animation exceeded all the expectations. Many commented on social that it was a masterpiece. It was the best work done by the animation studio ever. If only Bakugo had won, it would be like the cherry on top of a cake.
Fans Praise Studio Bones’ Latest Work
Ufotable and MAPPA have been praised for their work in Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen. But Studio Bones seemed to have lost the magic for the last few seasons. But they were hell-bent on bringing back their former glory. With My Hero Academia season 7, they came on the right track. But Bakugo vs. Shigaraki took it to the top. Even fans appreciated them on social media for the top-notch animation.

The episode left a scar on the fans. Watching Bakugo in that state brings pain to the audience. It is unclear whether he is dead or fighting with death. The upcoming episodes will confirm the situation. The young Pro-Hero shocked Kohei Horikoshi by becoming the most popular character in his magnum opus. Killing him would cause a rift. Fans are keeping their fingers crossed.
My Hero Academia can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
