Yes, Bakugo is deeply jealous of Deku, but it's complex: he's jealous of Deku's sudden growth, his inherited power (One For All) from All Might, his innate heroic spirit, and his rising popularity, which challenges Bakugo's self-perception as the destined #1 hero and fuels his insecurities. This jealousy stems from Bakugo seeing himself as superior but feeling belittled by Deku's unexpected strength, leading to years of bullying that mask his own feelings of inadequacy and a desire to be the best, even better than All Might.
He still is jealous that Deku was chosen to get the #1 hero's quirk even though they both admired All Might to the same degree. He just mainly feels like he could've done better had he been given the power instead of Deku.
Bakugou hates Deku. He does not hate him because he is quirkless. He hates him because from his point, he thinks Deku looks down on him. That's why throughout the 3 seasons, he keeps saying the same thing over and over, and every time Deku helps him, he keeps piling that misinterpretation.
It had always been about himself. That realization became his turning point. For the first time, Bakugo faced his own reflection and apologized—not just to Deku, but to the boy he had once been. The bully who spat venom was gone, replaced by someone who had bled, lost, and grown enough to own his mistakes.
He used to look down on Midoriya and violently torment him because the only thing he believes in his strength and Midoriya was Quirkless and therefore weak.
Kacchan's bullying of Deku is connected to specifically this hero image and his own self-doubt whether he can live up to it. It's when Izuku has the same aspiration as him (behaving like a hero, wanting to go to UA hero course) is when he feels threatened.
He'd go by himself and likely break down. Deku is his rival very much like endeavour and all might.
A woman who's as dominating as he but lets him be vulnerable and improve as a person. In other words, a woman who can be the Bulma to his Vegeta.
Him learning Midoriya's secret is a turning point of sorts, and he's not as outwardly aggressive toward his classmate. But not even Bakugo apologizing to Midoriya alters how he is naturally. Bakugo's still loud, quick to anger, and feels that he's better than everyone else.
It's a shortened form of Katsu-chan, pronounced in a cute/childlish way. Since "Katsu" in Bakugou's name means "victory" it could kinda mean "Vicky", "Vikky", "Lil' Victory", but it basically is just a a short, cute form of a name, like Bobby or Johnny.
No, Katsuki Bakugo is not officially confirmed as autistic in the My Hero Academia canon, but many fans interpret his intense personality, social difficulties, explosive anger, and unique communication style as traits that could align with autism or other conditions like ADHD, leading to popular fanfiction and discussions about it, though officially he's often seen with traits like narcissism or PTSD from his childhood trauma.
And Kohei Horikoshi the creator of MHA, commented that Bakugo was crying in place of Deku because Deku, in his selfless nature, wasn't outwardly sad about his own loss, prioritizing others' feelings and the situation at hand. Bakugo's tears served as an emotional release for both characters.
Izuku admires the confidence and strength of Bakugou and the potential he holds. He is also someone he grew up with and was around.
Bakugo feels that Deku looks down on him, and since Deku has some of the characteristics of a hero like his persistence and intelligence and want to save people, Bakugo is secretly afraid that he might surpass him. He doesn't hate Midoria, he kinda likes him but he doesn't show it.
From a character standpoint, Bakugo wants to be intimidating, he wants villains to be fearful of him, so his constant ugly faces and aggressive personality are to strike fear into villians(Similar to Batman's whole motif). From a narrative standpoint, imo, it's to show that you don't have to be nice to be good.
Teaching has become his top priority, and joining Bakugo's agency would likely distract him from this crucial responsibility. In fact, Deku has expressed that even if he possessed the All Might's quirk, One For All, he would still prioritize teaching.
Bakugou is afraid of Deku, afraid that Deku will become stronger than him.
Yes, in the manga's final chapters, Deku does lose the power of One For All, becoming quirkless again after the power fulfills its purpose of defeating All For One, though faint "embers" remain temporarily before fading, allowing him to transition into a new phase as a teacher inspired by his journey. The power's will was to end, not be eternal, making his final state a deliberate, poetic conclusion to its generational cycle, freeing him from the burden.
Explosion Quirk * How it works: Bakugo's sweat contains a nitroglycerin-like substance that he can ignite to create explosions. The more he sweats, the stronger the explosions become. * Versatility: He can use this power in many ways: * Propulsion: Launching himself through the air for mobility.
Katsuki Bakugo (Japanese: 爆豪 勝己, Hepburn: Bakugō Katsuki), also known by his nickname Kacchan (used by Izuku Midoriya in the series) (かっちゃん, Kacchan) and his hero name Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight (大・爆・殺・神ダイナマイト, Daibaku Kisshin Dainamaito), is a superhero and one of the main protagonists of the manga series My ...
Horikoshi specifically listed his weakness as “cold” since he can't sweat as easily, so yeah, cold water would probably render him useless. They used boiling water for his training during that training camp arc for him to plunge his hands in and make huge explosions, so I guess it's just cold?
Appearance. Katsuki is a young man of above-average height with a slim, muscular build, and a fair skin tone. He has short, spiky, sandy blond hair with choppy bangs that hang over his eyebrows. His eyes are sharp, bright red in color.
There's no single "saddest" death, as it's subjective, but popular choices include Himiko Toga's self-sacrifice for Ochaco, showing her desire for love; Magne's brutal murder by Overhaul, devastating Twice and Toga; Oboro Shirakumo's (Kurogiri's) tragic origin as a Nomu, impacting Aizawa and Present Mic; and Midnight's lonely, unceremonious death while fighting as a hero, highlighting the harsh reality of their world. Other contenders often mentioned are Sir Nighteye and Twice.
He cannot use 100% of OFA's base power without breaking himself but he is able to use the 45% he can control in combination with the Quirks of the other past holders to reach a level of power equivalent to 100% and even go beyond it for short bursts. It's fitting with a general theme of Midoriya's character and story.
Katsuki Bakugo will essentially sacrifice himself in order to defeat his enemy. "Didn't All for One ever teach you that you can lose the battle and win the war? That's the first thing I ever learned at My Hero Academia." Katsuki Bakugo's final words will be "I win" and he will fall over dead with a smirk on his face.
