In the pages of the manga, Bakugo is currently collaborating with the likes of Mirko in dealing with Shigaraki, whose Final Arc is being built as the final battle between the heroes of Class 1-A and the villains of All For One. In the upcoming sixth season, Bakugo will play an instrumental role in the attack from the Paranormal Liberation Front as War Arc will change the Hero Society scene forever.
What do you think Joe Mad’s view of Bakugo is? Do you think the exploding young hero will survive the final battle of the Shonen series? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me directly on Twitter @EVComedy to discuss everything comics, anime, and the UA Academy world.
