Over the course of My Hero Academia's final season, Bakugo has undergone a transformation from an unstable opponent to a reliable protagonist. He was notably absent in some of the climax fights, and this caused some fans to worry. Then his reappearance in the new episodes, as odds stacked against him, turned into a calling card. This is not just a comeback, but a metaphorical culmination of his story arc, from rash youth to noble warrior.

X (formerly Twitter) exploded with fans rejoicing over this comeback. Videos of Bakugo entering and making statements spread like wildfire, being reposted, retweeted, and captioned as 'he is back.' According to some fan communities, at this moment, Bakugo has recovered his narrative dignity, claiming that he is not only supportive but also a hero himself. Lastly, there is the explosion, back again, according to one headline. This emotional effect was made more prominent by a long build-up: the viewers had witnessed Bakugo stretched to his limit, marginalized by guilt, injury, or moral burden. His comeback is not artificial.

The scene in question not only reintroduces Bakugo to the world physically, but it also embodies his spirit: ruthless determination, destructive strength, and a sense of purpose in war. It is not spectacle, but narrative payoff. In a world consumed by despair, Bakugo’s return reignites a long-lost sense of hope, a reminder that he has never truly lost his way. His resurgence not only restores faith among the heroes but also sparks powerful reactions from characters like Midoriya, Todoroki, and even the League of Villains. More than just a comeback, Bakugo’s rebirth marks a decisive turning point in the war.

Since this is the Final Season of My Hero Academia stakes are high. Characters with momentum are now even more vulnerable, and Bakugo coming back at this point evens the tactical balance. The scene emphasizes the fact that the last season is not an epilogue; it is the seriousness of character development. The animation is made more intense in the scene: slow build, given attention in closeups, active movement, and sound design that accentuates thunderclaps, in the manner of the Quirk of Bakugo. The employees had invested this moment with visual and emotional authority to correspond to the long wait.

This scene is also appropriate to the pacing of the My Hero Academia manga. Bakugo interferes with the main story at critical moments and tends to come at a time when the hero is feeling down. The anime adaptation honors that structure and devotes the moment time to breathe and support the emotional resonance with the help of supporting visuals (flashbacks, dialogue cues). When Bakugo reappears, the reaction shots and brief flashbacks to his past rivalries and vows ground the moment in the series’ deeper themes of rivalry, redemption, and heroism, giving his return a powerful emotional resonance.


My Hero Academia Final Season — Why This Moment Matters

The fact that Bakugo returns in My Hero Academia's final season is not a simple act of power, but a storyline twist. His revival gives long-time viewers the emotional catharsis as they observe him grapple with identity, guilt, and redemption. It also changes the battlefield conditions - his strength, leadership, and presence change the way allies and enemies approach the conflict.

Moreover, this scene confirms the franchise's growth of character. Bakugo has gone full circle since the impatient and explosive youth that he used to be in the early seasons. This final fight is not an expression of maximum force but rather the expression of narrative purpose: that characters deserve to be in the decisive battle.

Lastly, the effectiveness of this scene demonstrates that My Hero Academia Final Season can be filled with spectacle, feeling, and payoff. It affirms that the show is even able to surprise and please many years after its launch. Performance-wise, it competes with big blockbuster giants - not in the box office, but in audience boom. They applaud not only the action but also the validation of the arc of Bakugo and those fans who stood by him all these seasons.


The reappearance of Bakugo in My Hero Academia Final Season presents, perhaps, the best moment in his career so far, a symbolic, powerful, and well-deserved reintegration. What makes Bakugo’s return truly resonate isn’t just the spectacle, but the emotional depth behind it, a culmination of his past struggles, high stakes, and evolving relationships. It’s a moment of reconciliation in a season built around the theme of closure. In such a large-scale war, this scene makes viewers remember that Bakugo was never small, and his narrative remains relevant even amidst an apocalypse.
