Chapter 404 has a lot of latent potential for the manga’s narrative. The timing of Bakugo’s return just as All for One was about to kill All Might suggests crucial story development. Lately, the narrative of the story has leaned towards the emotional side, which is why All for One doesn’t seem to be able to achieve his goals. This might mean that there are chances of seeing Bakugo stand against All for One and save All Might.
Since there aren’t any spoilers from the official sources yet, these speculations should be taken with a grain of salt.
My Hero Academia chapter 403 recap: What happened at the end?
All for One stops his final attack, which surprises All Might. The villain continues obliterating All Might’s armor and uses the Blood Curdle Quirk he snatched from Stain to immobilize All Might. He then moves on to attack the foundation of UA High School’s floating fortress to force Gentle Criminal and the others to focus on keeping the fortress afloat.
All for One quickly leaves Star and Stripe’s X-66 useless, after which they move to attack the villain. He then proceeds to carry All Might to the place where Deku and Tomura Shigaraki are fighting. Deku gets disheartened upon seeing his mentor in such a terrible state, but he can’t lose his focus on the fight.
Suddenly, amid all the smoke, a figure appears, which turns out to be Bakugo. Deku makes eye contact with him, and this is where the chapter ends.
