'My Hero Academia' Sees Bakugo Make A Big Discovery

The My Hero Academia manga has been teasing something strange with the One For All power within Midoriya over the last few chapters, and while Midoriya is no closer to figuring out the root of his dreams he's got someone else to worry about.

Bakugo shares the secret of the One For All power along with All Might and Midoriya, but now he's no longer in the dark about Midoriya's quirk fluctuations either.

Midoriya's been seeing visions of the original One For All holder in his dreams lately, and All Might takes him a side to give him an update during the combat exercise with Class 1-B. Taking Midoriya to the side for a private conversation gets the attention of the rest of the class, and it naturally gets the attention of Bakugo as well.

He tells the two of them that if he's going to be forced to keep the One For All secret along with the two of them, they need to work harder to avoid being discovered. Talking to one another is secret side conversations is only going to bring more unwanted attention to them. But Bakugo also figures out that something is off with Midoriya's One For All.

Midoriya tells him that it activated on its own, and Bakugo jokes that he can't tell if Midoriya's mastered the power yet. He says that he's much stronger than the last time they fought, and that Midoriya should make One For All his own as soon as possible. This is a step in the right direction for Bakugo for sure as the last time the two of them had an extended interaction like this led to the brawl after the Hero License Exam.

Regardless of this, Bakugo is still Midoriya's rival and one of the few who knows the One For All secret. It should stay that way, and he's absolutely right that Midoriya and All Might act awfully too suspicious for a duo that's attempting to keep a major secret from everyone else.

My Hero Academia was created by Kohei Horikoshi and has been running in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump since July 2014. The story follows Izuku Midoriya, who lives in a world where everyone has super powers, even though he was born without them. Dreaming to become a superhero anyway, he's eventually scouted by the world's best hero All Might and enrolls in a school for professional heroes. The series has been collected into 19 volumes so far, and has been licensed by Viz Media for an English language release since 2015.
