Who Dies In 'MHA:A New Ending' And How?

I just finished 'MHA: A New Ending' last night, and let me tell you, the emotional punches hit hard. The story takes some wild turns, especially with character deaths that I never saw coming. One of the most shocking moments is when Bakugo Katsuki sacrifices himself to save Deku during the final battle against All For One's upgraded form. It’s brutal—he uses his full explosive power to create a diversion, but the strain on his body is too much. His heart gives out right as Deku lands the finishing blow. The way it’s framed, with Bakugo smirking and saying, "Don’t you dare lose," before collapsing? Tears were shed.

Then there’s All Might. His death isn’t as sudden but just as impactful. He spends his last moments mentoring Deku one final time, passing on wisdom about legacy and what it means to truly save someone. His body finally succumbs to the injuries he’s carried for years, fading away peacefully under a sunset. It’s poetic, really—a hero who gave everything, right to the end. The story also kills off Hawks in a stealth mission gone wrong. He’s ambushed while gathering intel, and his wings are shredded before he can escape. The scene where Tokoyami finds his broken feather in the rubble is haunting.

What makes these deaths hit harder is how they shape the surviving characters. Deku becomes more resolute, almost scarily focused, while Todoroki spirals into guilt over not being fast enough to save Bakugo. The narrative doesn’t shy away from grief, either. Uraraka’s breakdown at Bakugo’s funeral, where she screams at the sky for heroes not being invincible, is raw and human. The deaths aren’t just for shock value; they redefine the world these characters live in. Even the villains aren’t spared—Dabi burns himself out in a final, suicidal attack, taking Endeavor’s left arm with him. The story’s message is clear: in this new era, sacrifice isn’t glorious. It’s messy, painful, and leaves scars that don’t heal.
