The latest chapter in My Hero Academia has a lot of Katsuki Bakugo fans talking.

My Hero Academia Chapter 360 has been a real rollercoaster ride. Bakugo fans breathed a sigh of relief as the Big Three finally came to his rescue. However, all they can do is stall against Shigaraki.

At the very end of the chapter, Bakugo started analyzing the monstrous villain. Despite his severe injuries, the young student wasn't down for the count just yet.

My Hero Academia readers have taken notice of his sweat in the final panel. Something doesn't seem quite right in that chapter.

Note: This article reflects the writer's personal views.


Bakugo could potentially awaken his Quirk in the next My Hero Academia chapter

Something is definitely happening with his sweat

Take a look at the above-leaked image from My Hero Academia Chapter 360, which features Bakugo sweating profusely. There is a determined look in his eye as he watches the ongoing fight between Shigaraki and the Big Three.

Notice how Bakugo's sweat appears to be sparkling. There is a Cluster technique he can use known as Blasting Speed Turbo. These explosions also have a similar design. Some of his fans believe that the young hero may have unlocked the full potential of his Quirk.

In order to activate his Quirk, Bakugo must use the nitroglycerin sweat from his palms. By doing so, he can ignite explosions in My Hero Academia. However, the sweat dripping from his face is also blowing up. Perhaps he no longer has to rely on sweat from his palms to create explosions.


Quirk can only awaken in dangerous situations

Very few characters have awakened their Quirks in this series. Tomura Shigaraki and Himiko Toga have only done so by fighting the Meta Liberation Army. Even then, both villains underwent serious life-or-death situations. Awakenings can only be done through an emotional catalyst.

This also seems to be the case with Bakugo. Shigaraki nearly killed the young student in My Hero Academia Chapter 360. The stakes also couldn't be any higher in the final war. Bakugo is definitely feeling intense pressure at this very moment. Shigaraki cannot be allowed to win this war.

Either way, Bakugo's unwavering faith in himself is truly admirable. He fits all the major requirements to awaken his Quirk. Even his entire body is starting to act up like never before. It's a now-or-never moment for Bakugo since the Pro Heroes cannot stall forever.


Readers cannot wait to see what happens next

A few chapters ago, Bakugo had already unleashed his ultimate move. With the assistance of his Strafe Panzer, he could blow up entire islands with Howitzer Impact: Cluster. Keep in mind that he was mainly using the sweat from his palms. Imagine what he could do with a Quirk awakening.

Bakugo might not wait for Izuku Midoriya to arrive. He's the only hero in the U.A. with enough attacking power.

Many readers would argue that Bakugo might be necessary in the final battle of this war. All he needs to do is unlock his full potential and unleash the biggest explosion yet.
