Accelerator who is somewhat similar and happens to share the same voice actor is a far better character. He starts out as a villain, yet he feels sorry for what he did to the Misaka’s clones and genuinely tries to redeem himself. And this happened in the first season of Index. There are also other characters like Asuka from EVA and Kamille from Zeta Gundam who genuinely have a good reason for their erratic behavior. Bakugou is neither of those. Also, its possible to make a likeable character have flaws. |

Yet Bakugou can’t do the same. Also, its possible to make a likeable character have flaws. I never said nice characters are boring (damn, todoroki is among my favorites), they just don't get my attention that much if you think about it, katsuki being among the popular is not even an exclusive syndrome of the fandom, I believe it is natural for viewers to prefer the "bad boy" precisely because of the human tendency to be enchanted by what is subversive to our moral standards and well, I can understand why people don't like him, at first I hated him, and I still get angry at his attitude, it's not like I accept what he does after all it's your personal choice not to like a character, but there are many other views about a character besides yours, different people translate different narratives in their own ways just calm down, dude |
| Well, Bakugo feels relatable. He has shown a soft aide with Kirishima and he is good looking. |
| Honestly baffled at the popularity of this guy. He's basically a discount Sasuke but without the extremely tragic background to somehow delude the fans into thinking he's redeemable. One of the worst characters in BNHA. Can he even be considered a tsundere when he's literally a bully? And people who like him probably love being in abusive relationships because they think they can change the person. There are so many great characters in BNHA whose whole personality doesn't revolve around being an angry prick and people really chose him as their favorite lmfao. |

jooleyhooley said: I think his flaws leave a lot to be explored, and that's part of what makes him a good character. That's the problem though, it's not explored. Three seasons in he's still the same unlikable guy full of hatred towards everyone, with all the traits of a "villain" but thrown into the "hero" squad instead for whatever reason. If he actually received some meaningful character development that might be interesting, but from all I've seen there doesn't seem to be any underlying motives or an underlying story and anything to delve into. No redeeming featues. He's just bad because. Asks vulnerable people to commit suicide, attacks innocent people with actual intent to kill them. It was stated somewhere in the show (i think by Deku, or maybe Bakugos mom) that he wasn't always like this but i vividly remember a clip of them in kindergarten, Bakugo gloating as usual then something negative about Deku was brought up (i think it was the fact that he's quirkless) and people made fun of him. Bakugo smirked and looked so happy. At that tender age not only was he so extremely full of himself, he also took pleasure in the misfortune and bullying of others. There's no reason at all to like him. That said I can see how people find him entertaining. |
jooleyhooley said: Tarotist said: I thought he was just a loudmouth at first, but he earned my respect and became my favorite character in the series after... Yes! This was such a great moment! And I kind of get the shipping of those two a little bit after that battle. I think everyone in the class likes Uraraka because she's so sweet, but it doesn't necessarily mean they respect her. I think most people underestimate her, and it was especially made clear with the optic of people booing Bakugo during their battle in the tournament because they felt Uraraka couldn't handle the hits he was serving her. It was more demeaning than anything else. Bakugo actually respected her as a competitor and gave it his all. It was great seeing him immediately correct the person who implied she was weak after their battle. He sees her worth. I respect your opinion but this is cheap, it's so cheap. It's the archetypical bad guy/tough guy/bossy guy never says anything good about anyone, then one good deed or one positive word gives high praises and everything is forgiven. People tend to forget others who actually behaved and did good deeds all along. Also it's not like he even had a choice, he battled her and was forced to acknowledge her skill. The positive reaction to him is mindboggling. |

JFuji said: Because Bakugo X Uraraka is what the people want. So far off the mark I dont even know what to say |
| because females and males (those who like him) have bad taste |
| cause every 14 years old teen girls loves characters with a bad boy attitudes. |
| being a good person and being a good character are not the same thing. Bakugo is not someone I would want to spend time with if he were a real person, but he isn't. I like his character because of how his brash, aggressive attitude is built up, he has a huge ego from his own expectations for himself to always be #1 and I like the ways he develops as he has to come to grips with the fact that that is an impossible standard to set for himself beauty is in the eye of the beholder so I don't exactly have a way to explain my love for his many angry expressions Also his VA does a good job |
| im sure for simple man like me its because his explosion quirk is badass but ye his personality sucks ass |
| Because girls like bad boys? I genuinely have no idea why, he always sounded like an angry kid to me. I prefer the nice guys. Kirishima all the way. Best exemple of deredere you'll ever find in anime. |
