He's probably runner up behind Deku in the series, I want more empathy from him in the current story but it's something that'll be earned. It's obvious his walls are softening and he's becoming more trusting to those around him.

1-dimensional hothead. People complained about Sasuke being a bad character, but at least he has some depth to him. Bakugo is literally just angry all the time. There is nothing more to him.

It's a shame, because his power and design is pretty cool.


Well you never made it to S3 which is where he's delved into more but he was definitely not just a hot-head and it's even told pretty point blank in the dialogue.

I think Bakugou is awesome! I've considered putting him as a favorite character but I don't really like the color scheme for his avatar. I think that his character is important to brining out the development of Midori. Plus, his anger and attitude is relatable to me so even better

He's had his chances. There's been plenty of moments that could've made him interesting, but nope, he's just angry over reasons that nearly rival original Broly. If it takes over 2 seasons for that to change, then, meh. I dropped season 3 for completely other reasons, and don't plan to get back to it again.

I think bakugou would have been a good and a more loved character if the reasons for being an asshole were specified

Smh at everybody who says he is the best character in MHA. What about Aizawa, Stain and Todoroki? I don't hate him, but I certainly don't like him, I understand what he's supposed to represent, an egoistic bully who isn't all that harsh as he appears to be, but he'll be much better off if he stopped trying outshout Asta from the first few eps of Black Clover (maybe I exaggerated a little). I personally wanted him to take the Sasuke route, but whatever. And everybody bashing Bakugou haters by saying,"B-but what about his CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!?" needs to understand that some of us can't care enough about him to undergo 25 episodes of him being a fucking asshole so we can finally see him shedding his tsundere side. No thanks. I personally believe he is the anime industry's fuck you to anime watchers, combining the ol' bad boy traits and giving him a fujo friendly character design. But whatever.

Well, he is extremely ambitious, which leads on him being a bully towards people unable to defend themselves against his quirk. When Deku, a guy who used to be his friend, which he later started bullying because that's the kind of cunt that Bakugou is, gets admitted to UA, Bakugou loses his shit because a guy who he used to beat up is suddenly powerful enough to be a threat to him, insecurity grasps Bakugou by the neck, which causes him to be an asshole. At least that's how I perceive it.

While I think BnHA is only slightly above average at best, one of the last episodes of S3 of Deku and Bakugou was a very strong one with very genuine VAing. I'm still far from liking Bakugou (or any BnHA character) but I appreciate that character development.

He's just discount Sasuke, but without the really tragic past to justify his attitude. He also, as far as I've gotten into the show been outstaged by Todoroki as Deku's rival, so he's kinda pointless, too.

I like his character design, but that's about it. His personality gets on my nerves and his backstory isn't as interesting as I hoped. For me, Todoroki is a better rival to Deku in every way.

I personally can't see someone who is so indebted and respectful of Deku to be a rival, not to mention while having such an indifferent personality. I think Iida demonstrated a solid basis in the tournament arc for why he chose to be with Shoto instead of Deku, pre-tournament i think Shoto was interesting for that role but he's changed a lot from that person he was. Iida is a much better fit after Bakugo i think.

What Bakugo needs is a to the point introspective look, for the audience and his own development, for why he became a bully in the first place. I don't like the flimsy surface level outside look with no real explanation, just inference of events.

Actually forgot about Iida since he's so overshadowed by the main trio lol. I do agree that Deku's rivalry with him is more notable than with Todoroki.

Todoroki is indeed too friendly to be the usual shounen rival. Still, I would consider him to be a rival to Deku simply because they have some competition against each other. And despite all the backstory justifying Bakugo's current persona, I sadly can't get over his attitude and Sasuke-Naruto rivalry with Deku :'(

I'm still in S2 however so my opinions might change.

Yeah, Shoto can be pretty competitive regardless of being indifferent. The backstory justifying Bakugo is what i'm talking about, it's just an outside look and not an introspective one like Shoto had in his fight against Deku. That's what Bakugo needs, because there is plenty of reason to become a bully and redeem yourself from that over a course of time, if the redeeming happens without that as it's already been 60ish episodes (still only around 4 months in anime time) it would really hurt what his character could have been.

More people than i thought haven't seen season 3 in this thread. Definitely worth it as the character development is wonderful for everyone.

Barely 3 months pass in the first two seasons. Plenty of time? Be realistic, plus he's a teenager with a plethora of defenses on his thoughts and feelings. Yes he is the rival character but he's a angry with purpose of his up bringing which is dived into later but is brought up multitude of times. Top of his class in battle combat and studies, he's one of the few characters in the class that can rival Deku's analytics, and despite his insecurities of being weak he still openly sheds himself open at times.

Though he's the deuteragonist, I can't imagine why he'd have to be a full slate within the first two seasons. That's 70 chapters within the ongoing narrative of the manga but kay.

Yes.

I can't force someone to like what I like, and dislike what I dislike.
