What happened in the previous chapter?

Bakugo was a few seconds away from being ground into fine powder by Shigaraki. The villain broke his arm into pieces, but not before surviving his ultimate attack. Luckily, the hero was rescued by the combined efforts of Mirio Togata, Tamaki Amajiki, and Nejire Hado.

While the Big Three continued to stall for time, Bakugo was taken to safety by his mentor Best Jeanist. However, the young student was still watching the battle from afar, making comments as though he were there. The final panel showed a fierce look on his face as his sweat began to explode.

Many fans speculate that Bakugo could awaken his Quirk by My Hero Academia Chapter 361. Only time will tell if that really happens. At the very least, he isn't down for the count just yet. Fans eagerly await to see his next big move as Bakugo may prove instrumental in the war's final outcome.

Predictions for My Hero Academia Chapter 361

Assuming the story doesn't switch perspectives, the next chapter will likely continue at the floating U.A. High School.

It will be interesting to see if Bakugo truly awakens his powerful Quirk as he isn't content with just waiting around for Izuku Midoriya. Normally, he can only ignite explosions through his palms. If he somehow manages to use his entire body, then Bakugo could deal some serious damage to Shigaraki.

My Hero Academia Chapter 361 leaks will also likely drop in the next few days. These will be posted on various Twitter accounts, so finding the images won't be difficult. However, the first leaks won't be detailed, so readers will probably have to wait before they are given more context.
