Katsuki Bakugou

Katsuki can maintain his blasts long enough to nullify Shoto's Giant Ice Wall and even break Eijiro's hardening. His most powerful blast (without using the Grenade Bracers) was used to completely destroy Ochaco's meteors, and knock her away with the air shock. Unboosted blasts of similar strength were used against All Might during the practical exam. These blasts, especially when used repeatedly, have been shown to have a negative effect on Katsuki's arms.

Advanced Intellect: Despite appearing to be just a brainless punk, Katsuki has proven to be extremely intelligent and strategic, as he was able to discover Kurogiri's Quirk weakness and Fumikage's weakness in a short period of time. During the Sports Festival's Cavalry Battle, he strategized using his team's Quirks to obtain Neito Monoma's headbands, and succeeded in obtaining them. Furthermore, he quickly assessed which of the villains attacking the USJ was the most dangerous long-term threat. Even the Pro Heroes (like All Might) have repeatedly mentioned his great potential and battle sense. Shota Aizawa stated that Katsuki shines brightest in battle. Further proving his intellect is that Katsuki had the third-highest score in the 1-A midterms, even higher than Izuku, who scored the fourth-highest. Katsuki was also able to piece together the truth of Izuku's Quirk after being kidnapped by the League of Villains and seeing the quirks from All For One's theft which coincided with Izuku's words of obtaining a quirk which he correctly deduced from All Might, whom he realized Izuku had a connection with. This is why he is considered a natural genius.

Musical Talent: As shown during the UA Cultural Festival, Katsuki is highly skilled at playing the drums, having taken lessons in the past.

Overall Abilities: Katsuki has proven himself to be one of the strongest students in Class 1-A, placing first in the Sports Festival. He was able to defeat Fumikage Tokoyami and Shoto Todoroki during the Sports Festival, who are considered the other two strongest students in Class 1-A (despite having disadvantages respectively in their fights against Katsuki, despite these limitations, they still proved to be very strong). Many prominent heroes, such as Shota Aizawa and All Might, praised Katsuki's prowess; even the League of Villains realized Katsuki's strength and went as far as kidnapping him, even though it meant losing members of the Action Vanguard, as his potential membership would have far outweighed the risk. He was able to defeat Izuku during their second fight, when the latter was using 8% of One For All, despite being heavily injured from the fight.

Enhanced Strength: Katsuki possesses above-average physical strength, as he was able to fight on par with Izuku even when the latter was using his Quirk. He was also able to pressure and overpower Shoto Todoroki, a powerful combatant, during their battle. He is able to use his grenade bracelets without any recoil due to his strength, while Izuku nearly dislocated his arm just using one.

Even if he doesn't show it, when he's with you he feels on cloud nine. In his head, you'd be perfect for him, and he wants to make you happy. He feels shy around you, even though he acts like the aggressive and rude boy he is. If he dates you, he'll be like a puppy, always looking for affection, putting you on his lap. And the whole class will be shocked at how his tough guy behavior will stop around you. He'd only stop being like that with you.

Katsuki's aggressiveness is reflected in the way he uses his Quirk. He tends to lose track of the fact that his power can't be used in public and ends up activating it for various reasons, whether to intimidate someone, to show his frustration, or simply to show off. When in combat, he often creates small explosions in his hands to demonstrate his excitement, sometimes creating larger ones, or simply to show his aggression. He doesn't think much of the law that prohibits him from using his Quirk in public, and even questioned Izuku for not using his power against Shigaraki when they met at the mall. This behavior ultimately hinders his journey to becoming a hero, and he ends up being left behind in the progress of the rest of the class, which was the main reason he failed the Hero License Exam. His arrogant personality stems from the fact that as a child he was constantly praised for his great skill and powerful Quirk, and because of this, Katsuki developed an inferiority complex, always wanting to be the best in everything he does. Despite his arrogance, he experiences difficulties like anyone else and becomes frustrated when something prevents him from achieving his goals. He reveals that he sees Deku as an obstacle in his path to becoming the greatest hero and says that he always felt Deku looked at him with pity, which is why he developed a hatred for the boy, even though Katsuki has now even given Izuku combat tips. Even though he is a Hero-in-training, Katsuki is very antisocial. He doesn't seem to care much about other people's feelings and prefers to spend time alone rather than interact with his classmates. Katsuki doesn't even bother to memorize his classmates' names. Best Jeanist calls him out for this reason, saying that people will never see him as a hero because he doesn't care what they think of him.

Katsuki is a rather rude, violent, arrogant, and aggressive person, with a tendency to bully, much like he did with Izuku Midoriya (Deku), whom he saw as an obstacle to overcome, but now treats him as a rival. Brutal and bloodthirsty, he often smiles strangely during battle. During his fights, his strong personality is reflected in his fighting style. His brutal fighting style is demonstrated during the Battle Test Arc, in which he attacks Izuku mercilessly and without respect for the surroundings or objects, simply destroying everything in his path. Despite this, Katsuki is quite talented in combat, capable of using his Quirk not only to destroy, but also to perform maneuvers in the air. He is quite intelligent, capable of creating various strategies, and has one of the highest grades in the class, so much so that some consider him a genius. Although he is not the ideal hero, lacking mental stability and lacking a good image, he knows who his enemies and allies are. He tends to be cold with his allies, ideally, but is cold and brutal with his enemies. He ended up becoming unpopular with his classmates and even in other classes for being rude and mean. As the series progresses, his expressions become less aggressive and more comical, as he becomes irritated by the smallest things, such as teasing from his classmates. Katsuki seems to mature slowly, although he is still quite distant and unsociable, showing no interest in hanging out with his classmates. Katsuki's aggressiveness is reflected in the way he uses his Quirk.
