My Hero Academia Chapter 403, titled The End of an Era and New Beginning, brings an unexpected twist to the storyline. Contrary to expectations of All Might's demise, the latest spoilers reveal that not only does he survive, but a character long absent from the series makes a heroic return to aid them against One for All. This exciting chapter is set to be published in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 46 on October 16 at 12 AM JST.
In the preceding chapter, All For One (AFO) reaches U.A. and attempts to assimilate Shigaraki into his own body. Nevertheless, Shigaraki resists, and AFO decides to intervene in his battle against Midoriya. In a desperate move, the injured All Might tries to thwart AFO by initiating a self-destruct sequence. Concurrently, All Might's Vestige within One for All vanishes, causing alarm for Deku.

My Hero Academia Chapter 403 Spoilers - Bakugo's Heroic Return
My Hero Academia Chapter 403, The End of an Era and New Beginning, opens with a flashback to All Might's relatively ordinary childhood, where his beloved comic was Anpanman. Despite lacking significant memories, he always felt the path he chose was of utmost importance. In the present, AFO shatters All Might's Gauntlet and employs Stain's quirk to paralyze him.
AFO remains cautious, recognizing the danger posed by wounded heroes, even in All Might's weakened state. When Gentle Criminal expresses a desire to aid All Might, considering that the U.A. Island is now afloat, AFO unleashes a blast to divert his attention. The American Jets also attempt to intervene, vowing to rescue Star and Stripe's idol, but AFO swiftly eliminates them.
Admiral Agpar, Tsukauchi, and Deku find themselves sinking into despair. Worldwide, as the battle unfolds on screens across the globe, only a few continue to support All Might, while others appear to have given up hope. Mellissa Shield and Gran Torino watch the distressing spectacle with tears in their eyes.
As Deku's desperation mounts and Tsukauchi turns to prayer, a resounding explosion erupts in the distance. Katsuki Bakugo emerges, bloodied but standing tall, clutching his All Might Card. He and Deku share a poignant gaze as the latter is overwhelmed with relief.
