It's highly unlikely Tho he must have something lingering since he was able to see All Might's vestige. Otherwise that scene just doesn't make any sense lmao >he was able to foresee Shigaraki's attack, which all sounds like danger sense That's just Bakugo's crazy battle instinct. We have been shown a lot of times that Bakugo has some insane reaction speed and can read enemy moves with ease. No need for a cheatcode with that

MaxWasTakenAgain

I say highly unlike because at the end of the day he was able to see All Might's vestige in OFA's pocket dimension So yeah no, he doesn't have OFA in a traditional way, he doesn't have the powers. But maybe he has some crumbs left which is why he was able to see that. But there's no way to tell for now since Horikoshi is pulling the most obvious cliffhanger for as long as he can.


ThatBoyMike23

Also, the scene before that you saw Bakugo mumbling to himself similar to how Deku does. Deku’s way of fighting, since he isn’t instinctive like Bakugo or All Might, has always been analysis and prediction. When he fought Gran Torino, Mirio, Lady Nagant he wasn’t fast enough to keep up at first but he analyzed their movements and attack patterns and predicted where there attacks would come next. This scene basically goes back full circle into how Bakugo said how Deku always took things and analyzed others to grow stronger and that’s what he would do as well. Basically, how Deku copied Bakugo’s(and others) way of fighting throughout the story, Bakugo was taking a play from Deku(the mumbling, analyzing, and predicting) and applying it to fight Shigaraki.


Unpopular_Outlook

Bakugou is analytical as well. He didn’t copy that from Deku lol. But I guess because we’ve never actually seen bakugou face anyone other than students before it makes sense as he has no actual feats


amidnightecho

We did see it against Kurogiri back in USJ when he gleamed his weakness from just one attack. Edgeshot even called back to it in Kamino saying it was thanks to Katsuki they know it (though this was cut from the anime).


Mash_Ketchum

Well said, I agree.


swordforger16

Also when he saves Deku from Shigaraki his explosion has the OFA glitter


GodOfArk

If the process completed, he would have died, either of very rapid old age or direct collapse since his body won't be able to handle one for all. Also i think this is the reason the transfer failed.


spekter299

The rapid aging is a thing with OFA, but it wouldn't catch up to Bakugo for at least a decade. The actual rate is unclear, but Hikage (the 4th wielder) got 18 years of life holding OFA before his body broke down.


RoronoaZorro

The rate is unclear but there is a clear implication that the accumulation of power plays a part, which suggests that as OFA becomes stronger and more difficult to control, people are gonna break earlier. The 4th user got 18 years, sure, died at 40 of "old age". But that was several transfers, several added quirks and many decades ago. With how much accumulation happened in that time, I wouldn't confidently say that Bakugo would have "at least a decade". It's obviously only speculation because we just don't have enough information, but chances probably are he wouldn't make it past 20. Hikage essentially got his life expectancy cut in half, his remaining life expectancy cut into a third even back then.


spekter299

Unfortunately we have no way of knowing, because there's too many undefined variables. Hikage was the only one to make it to "old age" so we can't say how long Nana or Daigoro would have lasted had they not died violently, or how long Hikage would have had without OFA. The "at least a decade" is based purely on that being kind of average up until All Might blew the curve.


UnbiasedGod

Which OFA users died fighting against AFO and which OFA users died because of a short life span because of OFA?


spekter299

We know for certain 2, 5, 6, and 7 all died fighting AFO, and 3 is unknown but implied. Hence 4 opting to spend his life training off screen. 1 was weak and sickly before OFA, and 8 and 9 are still alive. 4 is the only one so far to live long enough to die of old age.


UnbiasedGod

Got it thanks.


GodOfArk

Read what you wrote but slowly, Hikage was only 4th wielder and well the difference between the movie ofa and his ofa was very huge


Truly_Meaningless

I seriously doubt that OFA would cause increased aging with how much is in the stockpile. Nana would've died real fucking fast if we use your logic, given she was the seventh, which would make the stockpile absolutely massive


Kungfudude_75

Isn't it stated the time All Might had OfA mixed with the extent he trained it made it way more dangerous for the next person?


Truly_Meaningless

Yeah. Because it'd explode their limbs off. As in, so much power, that your body physically would not be able to use it without tearing you apart. That's entirely different than the quirk factor itself shortening your lifespan.


Kerjj

All Might alone had the user for probably an entire decade longer than every prior user *combined*. All Might singlehandedly put more power into OFA than the rest of the users if it's based off time spent with the quirk. Nana had it before him. The quirk was maybe 20-25 years of stockpiling at that point. We have no idea how fast it could've broken her down, and frankly, there is literally no way to even estimate, given the sheer number of factors involved, so I don't even understand how this is a discussion beyond just saying "We don't know, and we can't know."


Unpopular_Outlook

No the transfer was complete, that’s why he was able to use it. The people inside Deku just didn’t want bakugou to have it


MSDuarte7

Even OFA users wanted Deku and not Bakugou lmao


Unpopular_Outlook

I mean, it was in a movie and nothing in the movies are meant to cross over to the series. Also, I don’t want bakugou to have OFA.


Big-Amoeba5332

The movie is canon irrefutably but Bakugo doesn’t have to have OFA


Unpopular_Outlook

I didn’t say the movie wasn’t canon. I said it’s not meant to cross into series. Meaning bakugou was never going to keep OFA


MSDuarte7

Neither i, i already hated that scene in movie lol But it's funny there are 9 OFA users and neither of them talking about Deku literally gave OFA to Bakugou for some minutes, which almost killed Bakugou due "Quirkless people are better to OFA" and Deku due his body damage.


Enexiel

Well I mean… he did die… but yeah I noticed that too while rewatching s6. It seems impossible that he still has it, but those panels just look alike too much for me to not believe it


LesRiv1Trick

You don’t know how fast the aging would have affected him. It’s only been a few months, a year at most since the transfer would have happened and yet you’re so confidently asserting he would have died? Based on what evidence lmao.


Inside_Monk7065

I prefer to think OFA just preferred to stay with Deku as the reason for the transfer failing. At that point Bakugou hadn't quite done most of the work to begin to develop the actual heart of a hero as opposed to just the fighting skills.


_DeepseaFireBuilder_

A fun theory but I really just think it’s being naturally gifted + quirk awakening. It would be kinda cool if this was influenced by his temporary borrowing of OFA.


spekter299

It's possible briefly holding it and giving it back to Deku left him with a vestige (like All Might had after passing it to Deku), but there's no way he kept the full quirk. If he did, Deku would be depowered like post transfer All Might, and that's clearly not what's happening.


Kaldin_5

In the moment it left Bakugo All Might basically becomes the avatar of exposition for OFA and explains that OFA returned to Deku out of its own will due to having chosen him too. It'd be cheap if it just suddenly duplicated itself perfectly and it'd defeat the purpose of OFA as a quirk choosing Deku if it's revealed it didn't....actually do that lol. It'd also prob require a manga reader to watch a movie (unless it has a manga equivalent? But still, a side manga if so) to fully get what's happening in the main story too.


HokageEzio

There's clearly something there based on him seeing All Might's vestige. What it means, we'll find out 3 years from now when Horikoshi writes it.


amidnightecho

Watch it be left ambiguous and we'll never know until Hori reveals it it some interview or bonus content years later.


Jabroni5092

If I had to guess he has a small amount of it left (like all might in earlier seasons) but perhaps it lies dormant for near death situations


PowerJolt72

Might be why he died /s


Enexiel

Yes that seems most likely! That could be the reason why Izukus strength isnt compromised like all might after he passed it


shaileyc

that and the flashback shiggy had to the 2nd user really feel like it


Practical_Car8494

People don’t bring this up enough!! What was the point of that flashback? The point of the all might card, plus his whole death in general if he is going to be revived


gitagon6991

He might still have a small portion of it left. It could explain why he saw All Might's vestige


JscrumpDaddy

Idk but it’s weird to see them being called Katsuki and Izuku instead Bakugou and Deku.


RoronoaZorro

Katsuki definitely feels a bit off. Izuku, not so much imo. While it's not as common as Midoriya or Deku, it still gets used quite a bit. Katsuki is very rarely used.


Enexiel

Yeah well I call them deku and kacchan in rl but I decided on Izuku because imo it sounds better than midoriya and I wanted to call them both by their first name


JscrumpDaddy

Maybe weird was the wrong word, not trying to be negative haha I’m just not used to seeing it! It’s like “seeing your teacher at the grocery store” kind of weird.


UnbiasedGod

No. But the all might vestige scene is interesting.


Renso19

I think it might have left an imprint on him and enhanced his quirk, but I don’t think it’s much beyond a general level up, I don’t think he has super strength or other quirks, just a buffed beyond natural limits version of explosion, hence the starburst eyes (keep in mind that with most of the wielders it was their quirk that got most of the enhancement, with maybe some basic physical enhancements, Deku and AM got super strength etc due to having no quirk) As for predicting Shigarakis attack that’s just battle instinct, Bakugo is a really good fighter if nothing else and shigarakis entire battle strategy is “AAAAHHHH FIRE LAZOR!” And not much else, so it’s gotta be pretty easy to predict


kolt437

Sure, why not, as we all know movies are canon


RoronoaZorro

>As everyone should know by now, the movies appear to be canon. Still heavily debated and depends on what definition you subscribe to. Many people do consider them canon, many don't. But we're far from having any consensus or even outright confirmation. That may change, of course, depending on what happens in the manga going forward. So far, Hori hasn't gone beyond putting easter eggs in regards to the movies into the story. So it may be the same here, or it may go beyond that, but we are yet to see. As for chapter 362, I don't buy that as danger sense but rather as his superior combat skills coming through once more and him being able to read Shigaraki. You know, kind of how Deku read that Kacchan would start with a right swing way back. In any case, it would feel a bit off for Bakugo to suddenly still have OFA or at least "the embers" from having it for that short time in the movie. I think the movie itself would actually feel worse if that happened, because it would go through all the trouble of coming up with the bs "No one remembers so we don't get attacked for causing continuity issues" for none of that to matter in the end. It would be confirmed as canon, but in the worst possible way, because it would feel entirely like another lazy plot device. So I think that's highly unlikely. Also, isn't that the movie where Hori said that one of his concepts for the finale that he decided against in the end was incorporated/served as inspiration? If so, Deku sharing or passing on OFA probably was one possible finale, but Hori deemed another one to be a better fit for the story he wants to tell, meaning it would be very unlikely to fall back on the previous one now that it served as inspiration for a movie.


Wrong_Look

lmao... ***you are lowkey downplaying Bakugou by attributing his lastest feats to OFA...*** Even I, Who constantly mocks the idea of Bakugou being on par with Midoriya and laught at those who expect him to 1v1 AFO(and win) did not dare to go that far xD


Enexiel

Well fuck me thats true, although that wasnt my goal lmao. I just think it would be cool as fuck if he still has it, didnt mean to call him a weakling :^)


Neophanto-P

Your theory isn't bad, it's just due to misinterpretations. Bakugo got a quirk awakening, instead of making explosions outside his body, it began to compress inside him. It made his quirk like OFA because of the propriety being shared at that moment. There's also the exemple of Shigaraki (re)awakening his quirk whenhe was faced with extreme situations. To summerise, Bakugo got a near death experience strong enough to make him forcefully awaken his quirk. And this awakening made it "close" to OFA in a way.


MSDuarte7

I hope not.


CEO-of-Zaun

if i could choose i would just wish hori wrote him decently enough that he would be rivaling deku in terms of strength by now but at this point fuck it, give him ofa and make him relevant again i couldn't care less how shit storytelling it is


PlaidCladMadLad

"Relevant again" like he's remained through the whole story but okay


Unpopular_Outlook

He left out of like two entire arcs what relevance does he have outside of Deku lol


PlaidCladMadLad

Which arcs? He's missed what, 30 chapters of a single arc? And he's lying in wait to be brought back for the most significant climax of the story while the side characters get story wrap ups? And his death and every leading up to it set up several of the most important plot points of the final arc? And he went out holding off Shigaraki? And the entire point of his fight with Shigaraki was to reinforce the narrative themes of the story overall and what separates him from those who chose to be villains and solidify one of the things that make a hero making him thematically one of the single most important characters in the story? Are...are you maybe a bit precious? If anything, the fact that he's clearly coming back for the final chunk of story says both that he's one of the most important players next to Deku and also that he's much further above literally everyone else in the story outside of Deku, AFO, and Shiggy. Brief absence from the story is not the death of his relevance. Every other story is being closed out or set up for the final push. MHA fans get some literacy challenge, failed spectacularly once again.


Unpopular_Outlook

Stain and overhaul. The arcs bakugou have been in he was a damsel, I.E Kamino, or they were school arcs. You’ll probably say, he was in the war arc where he “saved” Deku from AFO which became pointless because Deku got caught anyway and was saved by the vestiges, destroying a bullet from shigaraki that got a panel so small no one even noticed it, because the entire focus was on making sure Aizawa didn’t get hit, and he did. Or his quirk awakening that didn’t even stop the Nomu. But sure those moments make him so relevant. Bakugou isnt relevant to the final fight anymore than Mirko is relevant to the fight. He’s just there just like Mirio was there, and Edgeshot and Tamaki and Nejire and the others Lmfao. And what’s funnier is that he’s only in the final fight, because of Deku. I legit said he wasn’t relevant outside of Deku, and all you proved was that he needs Deku to be relevant Like. My guy doesn’t even have a relationship with All Might. All they talk about is Deku and revolves around Deku. Like we couldn’t even get him alone when he dies, he has to think about Deku the entire time. Which shows that without Deku, bakugou is nothing. The fact that he died shows that he’s not the most important player next to Deku Lmfao. Like, you said brief absence as if he did anything plot wise besides apologize to Deku. Because he has zero relevance outside the plot besides be support to Deku. Name me one time in the plot where Bakugou got to shine that wasn’t about Deku and wasn’t due to deku. No school doesn’t count. We’re talking the actual plot


CEO-of-Zaun

lil bro didn't have a single proper fight with a villian and was mocked for how weak he is by the main villian of the series


Gradz45

> if i could choose i would just wish hori wrote him decently enough that he would be rivaling deku in terms of strength by now I can’t buy a world where Bakugou somehow rivals current Deku with just explosion.


Polaris328

no


MaG4436

Obviously not


FlinnyWinny

Movie isn't technically canon, so that's very unlikely. I'm not gonna discount it completely, but I'm 95% sure at least.


Dependent-Doubt-5147

So actually it’s been confirmed that Katsuki Bakugo does have a very tiny spec of all for one in his bloodstream! So in theory he has one for all but it’s only a small percentage but it’s still enough for him to have many ties with Deku


Enexiel

Yes, I saw that too! In addition to this, heroes rising should be canon now! Im just glad my theory wasnt completely bs like many people said :D


Dependent-Doubt-5147

Yes! Heroes rising is definitely cannon now 😊😊


Valkyrid

No.


Kiirrbyy

I'm sorry, WHO still have WHAT???? GOSH i'm happy to only read the manga and not watch anime if it comes up with fcked up ideas like this... The whole plot is that katsuki have his own strenght and that OFA is designed to be used by someone without an alter, and they came up with "HEY! What if midoriya GAVE ofa to katsuki, but like temporarly?" Yeah fck that, ruining a good story by running fan service


elenuvien1

>if it comes up with fcked up ideas like this that's horikoshi's idea, he wanted to end the series with deku and bakugou sharing OFA but he gave it to the movie instead.


Kiirrbyy

Well damn i'm glad he changed his mind What makes his story good is that we see everyone getting stronger with their own quirk Because at this point, midoriya just had to give OFA to everyone around at kamino...


sherriablendy

Well supposedly the second MHA movie was the initial ending of the story that Horikoshi had in mind - though I assume in that case the OFA transfer would’ve been permanent, and it wouldn’t have had as many averse effects as we know it does now when transferred to someone who’s not quirkless


Dekugaming

what is this from? the manga is only up to 389, and that is going into the Dabi fight


elenuvien1

it's from heroes rising, 2nd movie


TimFlamio

On another note, could he be able to see a few seconds in the future? Far fetched of course, but since he predicted his moves...


sirjoey150

As an anime viewer, I hate that I accidentally read the title before noticing the tag.


Enexiel

Its not an anime spoiler, its from the 2nd movie, heroes rising :)


karoko87

I think he has ofa but not because of the movies but because of his connection with deku
