Not sure anyone had checked this out yet, but i just want to share! First Character Popularity Poll (Opened on chapter 52) 1. Izuku Midoriya 2314 votes 2. Shouto Todoroki 1987 votes 3. Katsuki Bakugou 1764 votes 4. Ochako Uraraka 652 votes 5. All Might 627 votes 6. Tsuyu Asui 589 votes 7. Fumikage Tokoyami 485 votes 8. Tenya Iida 390 votes 9. Shouta Aizawa 378 votes 10. Denki Kaminari 224 votes Second Character Popularity Poll (Opened on chapter 120) 1. Katsuki Bakugou 3020 votes 2. Izuku Midoriya 2217 votes 3. Shouto Todoroki 1795 votes 4. Shouta Aizawa 943 votes 5. Eijirou Kirishima 722 votes 6. All Might 521 votes 7. Kyouka Jirou 446 votes 8. Tenya Iida 331 votes 9. Tsuyu Asui 309 votes 10. Ochako Uraraka 292 votes I only listed top 10, if want to see more, check the source! So what do you think? Did your favorite character make it to top 10? I'm pleasantly surprised at Bakugo's ranking in the second poll! he beats Izuku and Todoroki lol. I wonder which arc that made him so popular! So excited! Also surprised to see Kirishima and Kyouka so high in the rank! Also Aizawa-sensei from 9th to 4th! This poll made me really excited to see what make the seemingly not so important side characters now so high in the rank at the second poll! No manga spoilers please! P.S until what chapter do you think this season would cover? Source: http://bokunoheroacademia.wikia.com/wiki/Popularity_Polls New! Third Character Popularity Poll (Opened on chapter 163) 1. Katsuki Bakugou 5909 votes 2. Izuku Midoriya 3205 votes 3. Shouto Todoroki 3205 votes 4. Eijirou Kirishima 2006 votes 5. Tenya Iida 1822 votes 6. Shouta Aizawa 1453 votes 7. All Might 1378 votes 8. Kaminari Denki 1223 votes 9. Ochako Uraraka 1211 votes 10. Shinsou Hitoshi 1178 votes Wow!! Bakugou is on the top again!! The margin is quite large too, much more so than last time! Just look at him, he is so beautiful (。♥‿♥。) I think he won't be de-throned so easily now. All hail my king! It's nice to see Kaminari and Shinsou!!! Does it mean they get some more screentime in some arc? Looking forward to that! I really like them both! There are the US popularity polls too, and I think the result is a bit weird haha First Character Popularity Poll (US) (27 July 2015) 1. Midoriya Izuku 2. Asui Tsuyu 3. Uraraka Ochako 4. All Might 5. Bakugou Katsuki 6. Todoroki Shouto 7. Tokoyami Fumikage 8. Stain 9. Hatsume Mei 9. Ashido Mina So many female characters even the minor one like Hatsume! That's weird but I don't complain! She needs more love! <3 Second Character Popularity Poll (US) (22 September 2016) 1. Bakugou Katsuki 1343 2. Midoriya Izuku 851 3. Toga Himiko 525 4. Todoroki Shouto 345 5. Asui Tsuyu 340 6. All Might 245 7. Uraraka Ochako 239 8. Tokoyami Fumikage 191 9. Kirishima Eijirou 178 10. Aizawa Shouta 146 Wow Kacchan wins again! My some margin too! I never expected him to be as popular as in Japan, I mean, pretty sure he got a lot of hater on this site. Just how amazing his development in the manga? Will anime only watcher follow suit? And TOGA HIMIKO BEST GIRL yeah! She even beats Todoroki lmao I'm loving all these results. I'll be expecting Bakugo popularity will keep going higher! |

Kachan 2nd in the first poll and 1st on the second poll. Horray for Bakugo!!! |
A Story will always come to it's end. The thing is, will you move on after it's over? |

Thanks for sharing! Really like the top 10 character results! Happy to see Kirishima on Second poll but Tokoyami needs more love... Kachann's my Fav char and its so satisfying to see that he still made it to top 3 in the first poll even though he's a shitty little bastard back then... XD Second poll is quite understandable and you'll soon find out why if you're gonna read the manga or watch the anime, but its still a bit surprising that he beat Izuku |

I honestly really liked Bakugou even from the first episode alone, his personality and reactions were hilarious. They are still now, but it felt consistently toned down to allow for more character development. Although I can see why others have preferences over characters such as the inspiring Midoriya / AllMight or the cool Aizawa/Todoroki/Tokoyami. For me, he is still best boy and non-manga readers will find out soon if the anime will still continue. In fact, they can find out for themselves later on ;). I'm also waiting for other undeveloped characters like Yaozuru and Kirishima to have their time to shine sooner or later. |

I cant understand how can people like Bakugo? There's no redeeming attribute in his character, he just exists as an annoying childhood friend of the MC. |

Actually he has a lot of redeeming qualities to his character. Which is mentioned by Deku himself. He still admired him remember?? Despite all the horrible things Kacchan did to him? Somehow Kacchan is always the one who managed to make Deku realize of his own dream of becoming the greatest hero just like in the episode when Shinso and Tetsutetsu challenged class 1-A. I understand why some people hate him/can't like him for obvious reasons. But to say that he has no redeeming qualities is just wrong?? Maybe in your case, his redeeming qualities just not enough to make him likeable. |

In fact I'm sure Bakugo wants nothing more than to see Deku fail/beat him up so that his ego can be boosted even higher than Mt Everest: Proof in the fact that every time Deku wins or does well he gets incredibly frustrated (that Deku who was once nothing, is now a thorn in his side) and even has flashbacks to points in time where Deku was weak. The only time that I saw Bakugo do something remotely good was when he acknowledged that Uraraka was strong post-fight, and even then that isn't really something worth praising, since villains do that all the time... So what other good qualities does he have that I don't know about? |

So what other good qualities does he have that I don't know about? Well Horikoshi said so himself that his character was meant to be unlikeable so you're not wrong for disliking him. And I believe it's intentional. Bakugou is great at everything (he is strong, he is smart, has natural battle instinct, very determined, aim to be the top but still knows his limitations) his only downside is his pride, ego and personality. I think you just need to understand him more to be able to appreciate him. I personally find him extremely entertaining with high potential to develop into somone amazing. Not saying his actions shouldn't have concequences, but If the spoilers are true, he is going to gradually change to a better person. He, after all, wants to be the no.1 hero. My points is, he is the type that meant to be disliked and change gradually throughout the story. Like Deku who goes from a guy with low self esteem and low confidence, growing more and more bold and confidence throughout the story. I believe Bakugou too, will change throughout the story. I think he's supposed to be this bloated blob of self confidence who has pretty much all that Izuku doesn't just in the worst possible way. But just as Izuku gets more of those traits Bakugou will also become more "human" over time. I believe that we aren't necessarily supposed to like him just right now but respect his development and growth. I'm going to quote someone's character analysis about Bakugou from various source (since I don't trust my english to be able to explain it to you the way I want) "To understand chapter 1 Bakugou and his subsequent character development, you gotta understand how he became such an ass. Bakugou was the kid whom everyone looked up to. He was adventurous! He wasn’t afraid to say what he thought! He was the first to do something in his circle of friends! He was the smartest among the kids! In short, even before he got his quirk, Bakugou was being built up as someone “superior” to the rest. And believe me, when you’re young and people constantly sing your praises, you’re going to develop a superiority complex. Honestly, it was made THAT much worse after he got his quirk. So ofc his natural conclusion is that he’s better! This kid, since day one, has been told that he’s number one. So he develops a superiority complex. And well, when you’re number one, you can pretty much do and act however you want(or at least, that’s what Bakugou believed). So by the time chapter one comes out, we’ve got this kid who’s always been the best. He’s always been at the top. He’s got an ego the size of Mars but to Bakugou, that pride is well-earned. And the fact that this “useless” kid Deku is aiming to even enter the same school as him is an insult. He doesn’t care if Izuku is serious or not because Izuku is someone who is at the bottom and should stay there." "Thinking you're the biggest fish in the tank and having your identity popped in a week by others is a lot to take in, Izuku 'not' being such a pushover and besting him in combat, not knowing how to react to his 'worthless' hangeron coming to save him when no one else, even heroes, did because he genuinely wanted to be friends with Katsuki since he thought he was 'Cool' or someone to look up to, plus Shouto giving him the cold shoulder was a lot to take in. Also he's a young teenager, how does one go from thinking you're the best that ever was to maybe one of or adjacent to the best, plus add in 10 years of not knowing how to actually socialize with people your age as peers. Oh yeah don't forget puberty too." For more in depth, panel to panel analysis, here is the source: http://catsandanimenerd.tumblr.com/post/142832473556/ok-so-ive-vagued-about-it-but-ive-been-busy ANYWAY, It's perfectly understandable people find him unbearable, but he intended to be that way plus I somewhat can relate to him (the superiority complex part and how showering kids with praises and only praises is bad) which is why I like him as a character. Plus I always liked arrogant, unfiltered characters who is strong and smart. I'm hyped to see his development. So to answer your question, if bakugou is a goodie, a likeable character, he would practically become a Gary Stu, flawless, bland, unrealistic character. I treat his bad personality as his flaw and I accepted it. And I think his other character traits are redeeming qualities enough in my eyes. And I'm eager to see his character development. You know, even Deku, who Bakugou bullied for years still admire him and thought he is an impressive person despite his nasty personality. Despite his personality to scare people off, people still wants, tries, to befriend him. Because they think there is some qualities in Bakugou that's worth it. If it's not redeeming qualities I don't know what is |

@Shicchi I understand what you're trying to say; Bakugo as a child had a sheltered life with little competition and over time he developed a superiority complex which justifies his personality and massive ego. However, this doesn't really justify his childish behaviour, where he screams, "I'll kill you" whenever things don't go his way. Also, it's pretty amusing that the UA doesn't seem to give two shits or raise any eyebrows whenever Bakugo does something questionable or unethical, so in a sense they are partially to blame. But at the moment, like you said, he comes off as just unlikable to me even though I understand where he came from. I hope he does change like the author and rumours suggest, because at the moment I can only judge based on what I see. |

I hope he does change like the author and rumours suggest, because at the moment I can only judge based on what I see. I think him yelling "I'll kill you" is just his way of speech... or something. He doesn't really mean it, like in his battle with Ochako, how could he said "She is still... not dead!" to Ochako?! He probably has different definition of that word lmao. In the first season when he lost to Deku, it made him realized that it's because he was acting childish and blinded by anger and swore to not acting like that again if he can help it. He is very hot-headed, very aggressive, and impulsive. Really childish is just one of his many bad personality for him to fix. Yeah you're right, I mean, Present Mic clearly dislike Bakugou but didn't do anything about it (or can't). Even All Might let Bakugou did what he did to Deku in that battle trial. But then again there is friggin Endeavor, the number two hero who probably more evil than some villains. So, it seems like as long as someone has potential to defeat villain (remember Bakugou is ranked first in the entrance exam), they let things like that slide. You're definitely not the only one who hope for Bakugou to change. Me as his fans too, can't wait for him to get his shit together and grow up. I want him to make it up to Deku for all the nasty shit he'd done to him. Looking at how he even beat Deku in the second poll, and by a quite large margin too, I guess he did change and I reaaaaaallly can't wait to see that! |

So, yeah, even the author himself doesn't expect Bakugou's popularity lol (he had said he made Bakugou's character unlikeable on purpose) But then Bakugou totally beat the protagonist here. I can't wait for the third poll! Who is going to de-throne Bakugou? Or will he stayed comfortably at the top? Well, as a fan of him, I'm just glad majority of readers love him too. <3 p.s. I can't believe Momo was not in the top ten :( she is my best girl ; w ; |

So Uraraka is the only female character with significant development. And Bakugou pisses me off, honestly. |

So what other good qualities does he have that I don't know about? Actually, you’re quite wrong with the idea that Bakugou only wants to see Deku fail. I’m not going to spoil and ruin your experience, but he does later give advice to Deku on how to improve his quirk, which no one or even I would’ve expected from Bakugou. It was truly a genuine and sincere suggestion with in-depth analysis since Bakugou is extremely intelligent in terms of combat, so Deku really appreciated his input. I’m pretty sure you’re not a manga reader, so you can’t really judge Bakugou as of now since season two doesn’t really go hand in hand with the manga. It’s probably only 30-40 chapters in out of a 160 chapter manga, so that’s why Bakugou won the two most recent popularity polls from both the US and Japan. Don’t get me wrong though, I did hated Bakugou with all of my heart, but his character development absolutely trumps my love for Deku and any other character. |

I’m not going to spoil and ruin your experience, but he does later give advice to Deku on how to improve his quirk, which no one or even I would’ve expected from Bakugou. It was truly a genuine and sincere suggestion with in-depth analysis since Bakugou is extremely intelligent in terms of combat, so Deku really appreciated his input. Hey some of the things you wrote's like, totally a spoiler, so please put in a spoiler tag! Thankfully, I already got spoiled about those bits so I won't get mad orz Spoilers aside... I really really really happy reading your comments about Bakugou!!!! I heard he gone through such amazing development and I just couldn't wait for S3!!!! Do you think S3 will cover all the way through the part you mentioned? |

There's no redeeming attribute in his character, he just exists as an annoying childhood friend of the MC. Actually he has a lot of redeeming qualities to his character. Which is mentioned by Deku himself. He still admired him remember?? Despite all the horrible things Kacchan did to him? Somehow Kacchan is always the one who managed to make Deku realize of his own dream of becoming the greatest hero just like in the episode when Shinso and Tetsutetsu challenged class 1-A. I understand why some people hate him/can't like him for obvious reasons. But to say that he has no redeeming qualities is just wrong?? Maybe in your case, his redeeming qualities just not enough to make him likeable. The redeeming quality you mentioned is nothing more than an unintentionally good aspect of the character. I'm sure Bakugo wasn't intentionally trying to make Deku 'realise' his goal. In fact I'm sure Bakugo wants nothing more than to see Deku fail/beat him up so that his ego can be boosted even higher than Mt Everest: Proof in the fact that every time Deku wins or does well he gets incredibly frustrated (that Deku who was once nothing, is now a thorn in his side) and even has flashbacks to points in time where Deku was weak.

Do you think S3 will cover all the way through the part you mentioned? Oh ok, thanks then! The advice doesn’t do anything to the plot, it’s just something he says, but I’m so sorry if it ruins your BNHA experience! And no, absolutely the third season will most likely not cover that part since it’s quite far from the main plot in season three, BUT OMG, it’s beautiful. Bakugou will definitely prove to the fans that keeps mocking him for his constant rude and villainous attitude, his genuine side. I don’t want to overhype it since no one did it for me, so that’s why I truly came to love him, but just simply expect a slight change in your opinion on Bakugou if you don’t already despise or feeling neutral towards him currently. |

ak47 said: I just can not comprehend this 3rd popularity poll. Bakugou could be even entertaining as a character if his actions weren't so easily accepted by others. Every time someone in the series talks about Bakugou's and Izuku's relationship as "they both just can't get along", or something along those lines, it irks me to no end. It's Bakugou the Rude Bully (there's not much more to him than that at all, to my eyes) who is the problem, not Izuku. Sadly I don't see the ranking changing all that much with the next poll either, but at least the gap might not be so big (with his absence in the current manga arc). "It's Bakugou the Rude Bully (there's not much more to him than that at all, to my eyes)" There, my friend, is the prove you're just a blind hater. And you certainly not the only blind hater Bakugou has. Thankfully, people like you is just a minority, seeing that apparently Bakugou is well liked by majority of the fans. He is in the top of the polls for a reason! |

XD Because I refer to myself as Sakura's blind hater because no matter what she did it'll still pisses me off lol Not to compare Bakugo to Sakura tho lol, just saying I thought blind hater is a legit term lol Well yeah, I never intended to force anything on anyone in the first place, I was just saying! ;D |

Well, he isn't really absent from the current Internship Arc, I mean he made a great amount of appearance in the beginning and at the end so I wouldn't say he wasn't there as much as characters like Tooru who was clearly invisible and absent. You've gotta admit, Deku keeps continuing to see Bakugou at such spotlight that he barely confronts him about his cruel and rude attitude towards him unless in a dangerous or the typical "shounen" rivalry moment. I know they're childhood friends, but Jesus Christ, I wouldn't accept what Bakugou did or said back then no matter how much I loved him. However, if you have read the manga and up to date with it then you would know that Bakugou is more mellow, tamed to put it in a more accurate sense, with Deku after they had their second fight |

I know they're childhood friends, but Jesus Christ, I wouldn't accept what Bakugou did or said back then no matter how much I loved him. However, if you have read the manga and up to date with it then you would know that. Deku may grown a lot in terms of power, which is obvious since he has One for All, but Bakugou definitely grown more in overall character development. He's, without a doubt, not a likeable character so I'm not forcing you to like him, but he's respectable in a sense that's he didn't go easy on girls like Uraraka unlike Tokoyami and truly wanted Todoroki to actually fight at his best in order to sincerely claim first place. Then, even though it was really rocky at first, he was able to make some time for Deku to reach the exit by distracting All Might while breaking bones at their Final Exam testing. There's more, but I know a lot of people are anime watching, so I can't continue further in detail. You know that's the first thing that make me really really really like and respect Bakugo as a character. LITERALLY EVERYONE talked how you have to go easy on Uraraka because she's a girl and it pisses me off. Uraraka is your classmate aiming for hero too, duh! I really respect Bakugo greatly for that. Also yeah, I've rewatched that episode countless time already. I'm actually quite a prideful person, and to let yourself be helped by people and let go of your pride is not something easy. Let alone character like Bakugou. For him to even let Deku uses his gauntlet, I was really proud of him ; w ; (he even shed tears because how much he hated it). In the end, he able to put aside his pride and tried his damndest to pass the exam. Both Bakugo and Deku really reckless like that. (as in doing their damndest to reach their dream, not minding their own body) Bakugo also doesn't underestimate All Might in a sense that, he never thought that they can make a clean run from All Might (unlike Deku who insist for them to run from the get go, Bakugo already realized that that's impossible in the first place) so he decided he'll try his chance beating All Might instead of running away because he knows either way they're doomed. Of course what he did during middle school especially what he said to Deku is unforgivable. Deku's right. He's lucky Deku is not suicidal nor depressed. If Deku commit suicide, it'll be the end of Bakugo's hero dream too. I don't think Bakugo is that stupid. So I have this thought that Bakugo said that already damn sure that Deku will never do it. They might not in the best of terms, but they really do understand each other in a way nobody else can. Not that this thing make it any better though. It's still an unforgivable thing of him to say. I think what make people like Bakugo is, he's so extreme in both good and bad you know? He's a complex character compared to others, and his flaws, his mistakes, only make him more human and interesting compared to other characters, at least in my eyes. Gosh I can't wait to see his character development!!!!! I have to be patient and not give in to the urge to just read the manga!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Honestly, Bakugo's haters doesn't affect my boy's popularity and it's their mindless misunderstanding I don't have any energy to discuss anymore since they probably won't even try to see him other than what they already hate. So yeah, I'll just ignore the people who hates him. I expected as much seeing with him winning the polls twice, even in the future. |
