My Hero Academia PV to commemorate the release of Volume 38.

Fans of the My Hero Academia manga are all too familiar with the tragic panel in Chapter 362, at the end of Volume 36. It saw Bakugo Katsuki, or Dynamight, lying on the ground, with open lifeless eyes and his chest crushed with blood coming out of his mouth. The panel was a result of his fight with Tomura in the Final War Arc.

The chapter sent shockwaves through the fandom illustrating the supposed death of one of the most popular and beloved characters of the series. Despite the panels showing Bakugo's lifeless body, there are some fans who are not entirely convinced that he is dead for good.

Many still believe that Horikoshi will find a way to resurrect him. Whether the sentiment has some weight to it, or if it's just a product of denial, remains to be seen, as the death was not explicitly confirmed.

Bakugo Katsuki has been dead for 300 days

However, the newly released promotional video for Volume 38 tells a different story. The video features the Big 3 of U.A. High School, namely Mirio Togata, Tamaki Amajiki, and Nejire Hado. The short clip begins with the scene where Bakugo charges at Tomura and takes a critical hit.
