The Final War arc of My Hero Academia is the film’s most ambitious and impactful arc yet, but no moment resonated with fans as powerfully as Bakugo’s return to the battlefield. As a character who was once a lightning rod for controversy surrounding his harsh and abrasive treatment of Deku, his return cemented his place among the series’ heroes.
Bakugo’s return is iconic, explosive, and stands as the culmination of his entire journey. It shifted the narrative’s momentum and carried significant weight that goes far beyond spectacle. His revival, while debated, is undeniably a high point of the series due to its cinematic visuals, emotional undercurrent, and thematic weight.
