Katsuki Bakugo played the leader of the rebellious children in "Winning the Brats' Hearts." If you keep looking down on them, you'll never see your mistakes.

Katsuki was presented as a very impulsive, aggressive and arrogant person, as seen in his way of treating Izuku, whom he constantly physically and psychologically abused, even telling him to kill himself, showing his bastard attitude. He has a superiority complex, always wanting to be the best at everything and trying to prove it at all costs; however, even with these traits, he knows how to admit well when he has been defeated, as demonstrated during the Test Battle, when at the entrance of the academy, Izuku tried to explain to him that his Quirk One For All came from someone else, and Katsuki interpreted that he was making fun of him, so he tried to shut him up by saying that he simply beat him.

In battle, he tends to be quite bloodthirsty and aggressive, even to the point of turning the word "shine" into a catchphrase. His brutal fighting style is showcased in the Battle Trials, where he mercilessly attacks Izuku and recklessly destroys everything in the enclosed environment they found themselves in. Despite this, and regardless of his lack of compassion, he has been recognized for his enormous talent and sharpness in combat, as he not only attacks and destroys, but is also capable of using his Quirk to move through the air. This has been highlighted by Momo Yaoyorozu, Shoto Todoroki, and All Might himself.

Although he is not the hero with the best character, as the story progresses his behavior slowly begins to mature, ceasing to be so rude and proud. As the year progresses, he begins to trust and cooperate with his classmates, whom he previously rejected because he wanted to do everything on his own, did not help or expect to be helped. That egotism cost him several mistakes in class that led him to defeat or very close to it, if not for the fact that he had to reluctantly cooperate with his classmates. His inspiration to become a hero was the same as that of Izuku, the symbol of peace All Might. However, their beliefs are different.

As the story has progressed, it is seen that Katsuki's personality has changed progressively. Initially, he started out as someone very arrogant and intolerant, but little by little he has calmed his attitude to the point of showing concern for others implicitly, as demonstrated in the provisional hero license exam when he reduces his explosions so as not to harm Denki and Eijiro or having waited for the latter to return from the battle against the Eight Precepts of Death. He has also shown to have empathy, as is the case with Shoto when he eavesdrops on his past.

Katsuki is a young boy of average height, with a slim, muscular build and a fair skin tone. He has short, spiky, ash-blond hair with choppy bangs that hang over his eyebrows. His eyes are sharp and bright scarlet in color.

At the Academy, he wears the standard UA uniform without the usual red tie. Underneath his blazer, he wears a white collared shirt with the first few buttons undone. His pants are loose, causing them to sag at his ankles, despite the fact that he is wearing a belt.

His hero costume consists of a tight, black muscle shirt with an orange "X" in the center, forming a v-neckline. There are two dots along the left line of his collar, indicating the support company that designed his costume. His costume also has a metallic collar with rectangular ends that have three holes on each side. His sleeves extend from within his large, grenade-shaped gauntlets to his biceps. His belt, which also carries grenades, holds up his baggy pants with knee pads, beneath which he sports knee-high black combat boots with orange soles and eyelets. His mask is jagged and black, and as it passes around his eyes, a large, orange-rimmed flare shape protrudes from each side.

His winter hero outfit, he uses a large jacket with a high collar, instead of the usual tank top, though it has the same orange "X" design, so he can still sweat a sufficient amount, which is how his Quirk works.

During her internship with Best Jeanist, she wore a pair of tight blue jeans with her hero costume, instead of her usual baggy pants. Her hair was also styled and parted to the side during this tenure.

General Abilities: Katsuki has proven to be one of the strongest students in Class 1-A, both in his physical and theoretical abilities. Many professional heroes have highlighted his immense skill, including Shota Aizawa himself, All Might, and even the No. 3 Hero, Best Jeanist. The League of Villains has also recognized his strength, sending them to capture him in an attempt to convince him to join them.

Enhanced Strength: Katsuki possesses superior physical strength to the rest of his classmates since he has years of practice and has had fights on par with Izuku when he has used his Quirk or has also known how to pressure and reduce Shoto Todoroki during his battle at the festival. Keen Intellect: Despite having an aggressive and childish nature, Katsuki has proven on many occasions to be intelligent, strategic, and cunning, such as when he managed to discover Kurogiri's weak point and Fumikage's weakness. He also managed to analyze the villains who attacked USJ and determined which of them was the most deadly in the long run. Several professional heroes (including All Might) have acknowledged his strong sense and potential for combat. Shota Aizawa has emphasized that Katsuki's innate talent shines through when he is in battle. Although his combat ability is greatly emphasized, he has also been shown to have written intellect, being the third highest-scoring student in exams. Leadership Skills: Katsuki has always been criticized for his lack of cooperation, usually as a result of his overwhelming ego preventing him from following the lead of others. However, thanks to Katsuki's own determination, perfectionism, and intelligence, he is a capable leader should others choose to follow his lead. During the fourth round of Joint Training, Setsuna Tokage admitted that even if his team attacked him at once,

Explosion (爆破 Bakuha ?): Katsuki's Quirk allows him to secrete nitroglycerin through the sweat on his hands and detonate it at will to create explosions.[7] The more Bakugo sweats, the stronger his explosions become.[8] As stated by Best Jeanist, Katsuki has a strong grasp on the applications of his Quirk.[9] He often uses small, powerful blasts from his hands to not only blast his opponents, but to propel himself and move through the air as well, among other non-combat uses. He is able to maintain the sequence of his explosions long enough to destroy a giant ice wall created by Shoto.[10]

The blasts are powerful enough to send opponents flying without much time for them to react.[11] He can use them quickly enough to evade incoming attacks, even in mid-air.[10][12] His most powerful blast yet (without the need for the grenade bracers) was used to completely destroy Ochaco Uraraka's meteor shower, and send her flying away from him with the following shockwave that shook the entire Sports Festival stadium.[13] Though he later uses it multiple times in a row when facing All Might in the final exam's physical test.

Katsuki suffers some impact from his blasts due to their magnitude, but the overall effect is minimal given his physical conditioning. He is able to trigger constant blasts around him without feeling any negative repercussions, even after multiple powerful blasts. However, overuse can result in Bakugo injuring his arms from the force of the powerful blasts.

Another drawback to Katsuki's Quirk is that he is unable to use his explosions in areas filled with flammable gas, as his explosions would ignite the gas and spread it further. Also, because his Quirk relies on his hands

Bakugo was originally planned to be a very kind and gentle natural genius, who tends to speak without thinking and insult others without any intention.
