The hugely popular series took social media by storm with its latest chapter, after all. The emotional and surprising entry left everyone with their jaws on the floor. Even the most uninterested of fans are now clinging to the series to see how the manga's recent cliffhanger plays out, and as such, one of its artists is tiding fans over with some special artwork of Bakugo.
As you can see below, assistant Noguchi took to Twitter, as usual, to share some artwork with fans directly. It was there nstime23 posted a quick sketch of Bakugo Katsuki, and it shows the hero-in-training over the years.

At first, My Hero Academia fans see Bakugo as nothing more than a kid here as he coos over a limited-edition All Might trading card he lucked upon. The boy's easy enthusiasm goes away in the next sketch as Bakugo enters middle school, but his drive returns in time to see him through high school. And though it is hard to see, there is a fourth sketch of Bakugo in his current outfit, but he seems to be fading away.

If you have read the most recent My Hero Academia chapter, you will know this art is pretty appropriate. The manga went live this week with a devastating cliffhanger that leaves Bakugo dead. After his quirk evolves in the face of untold stress, Bakugo's heart is shown exploding from the inside, and the manga's final shot shows the boy with glazed eyes. Right now, all signs point to Bakugo being dead, but fans are having a hard time believing the series would kill off such an integral character. But with art like this going live, well – it is hard to decide what's really true and what's not.
