While My Hero Academia chapter 405 is scheduled to be released on October 30, 2023, the spoilers for the same have already been out. According to the spoilers, the chapter revealed the status of the pro-hero, Edgeshot, who had earlier taken it upon himself to repair Bakugo's ruptured heart at the expense of his own life span.

Using his quirk Foldabody, the hero shrunk his body into a thin surgical suture and entered Bakugo's body to repair his heart from within. Considering how Bakugo Katsuki returned to the battlefield in chapter 403, it was clear that Edgeshot was successful in his quest.

That said, mangaka Kohei Horikoshi didn't reveal the pro-hero's eventual fate until the latest chapter. However, it seems fans aren't too pleased about Edgeshot's positive status in My Hero Academia chapter 405.

The pro-hero Edgeshot comes out of Bakugo's heart in My Hero Academia chapter 405

The leaked spoilers and the raw scans of My Hero Academia chapter 405 confirmed the hero Edgeshot's survival. The chapter saw him coming out of Bakugo's heart, albeit in a shrunken state. However, while he is still alive, the pro-hero doesn't seem to have much energy left in him to take on the foes.

Notably, several fans had earlier come up with theories about the pro-hero becoming Bakugo's heart in order to save him. However, the latest spoilers of My Hero Academia chapter 405 refuted such theories and saw the hero's return.

As stated earlier, the pro-hero emerged from Bakugo's heart in a tiny state once the latter spat out blood. Edgeshot mentioned that it was he who had made Bakugo spit out some of the blood that had accumulated inside his chest.

My Hero Academia chapter 405 then revealed how Edgeshot had used his own body to heal Bakugo's broken bones and injured organs, following the latter's fight against Shigaraki. However, the pro-hero also warned Bakugo not to go overboard, as he would continue to feel excruciating pain.

He further told the young hero that his body wasn't in the ideal shape for fighting. At that moment in My Hero Academia chapter 405, it was revealed that it wasn't Edgeshot's own efforts alone that saved Bakugo. Even after repairing the young hero's body, his heart didn't start beating again.

When Edgeshot was almost out of strength, he noticed a drop of sweat running through Bakugo's bloodstream, which exploded inside him and activated his beating heart. In other words, Bakugo's own quirk ultimately served as a defibrillator to save him.

While this particular moment somehow marred Edgeshot's heroics, there's no doubt that without him, Bakugo wouldn't have survived. If the pro-hero hadn't fixed the young hero's injuries in the first place, the latter's quirk wouldn't have worked as a defibrillator.

Although the latest chapter of My Hero Academia saw the Pro-Hero Edgeshot's return, fans didn't find the outcome pleasing enough. As such, they took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their opinions. Many fans felt that Edgeshot's sacrifice wasn't meaningful, considering how it was Bakugo's own quirk that acted as a defining factor behind his survival.

While the pro-hero used his own body to fix Bakugo's injuries, the former didn't get to have his shining moment in the chapter. Additionally, many fans are skeptical about Edgeshot surviving, mentioning how everything worked out perfectly well for everyone.
