Fans knew that Shigaraki had planned to get his revenge on U.A. Academy somehow, but after the Vanguard Action Squad ambushed the U.A. Academy's forest boot camp, they had been wondering what the villains were after.
In the latest episode of My Hero Academia, fans finally discovered the League of Villains is planning to kidnap one of the students, a student that surely stands out to fans.
Warning! Spoilers for My Hero Academia Episode 43 below!

After his fight with Muscular, Midoriya dashes to Aizawa to warn him about the villains' plan to kidnap one of the students. Then rushing to Mandalay to relay the message that Aizawa gave them full permission to use their Quirks to fight the villains, Midoriya is lucky enough to learn that the target of their efforts is Bakugo.
When Midoriya figures it out, he utters "Kacchan" which Mandalay relays to the other students (including Bakugo). But why is the Vanguard Action Squad after Bakugo directly? The answer lies in what Shiragaki says earlier.
Shiragaki's view is to wreck the world of heroes and create more of a freedom to do whatever they want with their Quirks, and mentions that villains aren't the only ones suffering under the strict rules of the hero society. As he says this, he's holding a picture of a frustrated Bakugo getting his medal for winning the Sports Festival last season.
Considering how much effort is being put into kidnapping Bakugo, Shiragaki clearly intends to use him for a major purpose. Bakugo's already having trouble against the villainous Moonfish, so there is no telling how long he can keep himself safe.
For those unfamiliar with My Hero Academia, the series 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 but 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 15 volumes so far, and has been licensed by Viz Media for an English language release since 2015.
My Hero Academia's first movie, My Hero Academia: The Movie - The Two Heroes, is scheduled to open August 3. The film will cover a story not seen in the originalmanga with series creator Horikoshi noting that, "Of course the movie will be filled with Class A's great efforts, that character's past that hasn't been in the manga yet, flashy action scenes, and much more." The film also previously revealed its first key visual depicting a character fans have never seen before, and a trailer revealing an All Might in his prime.
