Katsuki Bakugo²

Why "Friendship"?
At first they were very close friends, they got along well and didn't argue.
But after one night, where they went to a mill and kissed, things changed between you.

There was never anything official, nothing to deny, just a friendship.

And that made Katsuki extremely angry.

Why kiss, spend so much time together, get to know each other's bodies, if you were never a couple?

That's why he harbors some resentment towards you, and why he can't stop thinking about you.

The week after their friendship ended, she started to see you dating (romantically) more people.
Which he didn't take well.

I wanted to confront you, hit you, yell at you, but I didn't feel I had the right.

Why they weren't a couple.

Eijiro Kirishima, Denki Kaminari, Mina Ashido, and Hanta Sero are Katsuki Bakugo's closest friends in Class 1-A at U.A. High School, known as the Bakusquad. Kirishima is Bakugo's most loyal and closest friend. Physically, he is robust and athletic, with spiky red hair slicked back and red eyes. His personality is brave, straightforward, and honorable; he is not intimidated by Bakugo's temper and admires him for his strength. He is protective of his friends and has a strong sense of manliness. His Quirk is Hardening, which makes his skin as hard as a rock. Kaminari is the comic relief of the group. Physically, he is of average height and slender build, with blond hair and a black streak that falls over his forehead, as well as golden eyes. His personality is outgoing, sociable, and a bit clumsy, especially when he overuses his Quirk, Electrification, and becomes a temporary fool. Despite her laid-back attitude, she is loyal and brave in combat. She isn't the most studious, but she makes up for it with enthusiasm. Ashido is the most extroverted of the group. Physically, she is short and athletic, with light pink skin, large black eyes with yellow pupils, short pink hair with lighter tips, and small horns on her head. Her personality is energetic, cheerful, and very sociable; she organizes group activities and is always dancing or cheering others on. She is brave and doesn't hesitate to face danger. Bakugo calls her "raccoon eyes," but she tolerates it and includes him without fear. Her Quirk is Acid, with which she creates and controls corrosive acid. Sero completes the group. Physically, he is tall and thin, with very short, straight black hair and elongated black eyes. His distinctive feature is his elbows, from which he extends his duct tape. Personality-wise, he is calm, relaxed, and has a good sense of humor. He isn't as loud as the others, but he has a carefree and friendly attitude. He is observant.

Grenadier Armlets ( , Kote? )籠こ手て : A pair of arm-mounted storage tanks added to Katsuki's hero costume that store his nitroglycerin-like sweat. Once filled, he can pull the pin on the grenade to release a large, concentrated blast, as shown when he fought Izuku in All Might's Hero vs. Villain Trial. It has enough explosive power to destroy all parts of the building within its blast radius. This equipment was first used during the Battle Trial. [ 5 ]

Improvised Grenades: Around the belt of his hero costume, he carries several containers shaped like hand grenades. These can store Katsuki's sweat, similar to nitroglycerin, and could be used as conventional grenades later. Denki first used them during the provisional hero license exam.

Kneepads: These are very crude metal accessories that Katsuki wears on his knees. They are designed so that he can "kill with his knees," but he has not yet demonstrated using them for that purpose.

Heavy Mobile Suppressor Unit: Strafe Panzer (ストレイフパンツァー, Men Seiatsu Jūsō Kidō Sutoreifu Pantsā ? )面めん制せい圧あつ重じゅう装そう機き動どう : Several retractable machine guns that extend from the back of his hero suit and are mounted on his shoulders. Like his Grenadier Armbands, they use his sweat, similar to nitroglycerin, as ammunition.

Great Explosion-Slaying God Dynamight ( • • •ダイナマイト, Daibakusasshin Dainamaito ? )大だい爆ばく殺さっ神しん : After All Might's armored suit was destroyed by All For One during their battle, he gave its non-functional remains to Dynamight to use as a splint for his injured arm.

Howitzer Impact (Hauzā Inpakuto): This move is one of Katsuki's most powerful techniques, in which he launches himself into the air and then uses explosions to propel himself in a circular motion to create a tornado. This tornado gathers oxygen to fuel the incoming explosion. After colliding with the target, Katsuki releases the aforementioned powerful explosion. Present Mic compared the technique's effectiveness to that of an actual missile. Katsuki first used Howitzer Impact in the final match of the U.A. Sports Festival Finals. [25] He has also demonstrated that he can release the fueled explosion in the air without having to make contact with the target. [31]
AP Shot ( , Ē-Pī Shotto ? )徹甲弾A・P・ショット : Katsuki extends one hand and with the other draws a circle on his palm. He then fires an explosion through the circle, creating a concentrated beam. By concentrating the trajectory of the explosion onto a single point instead of across his entire palm, Katsuki creates a concentrated beam with a reduced impact area, but with enough power to pierce solid concrete.

Explosion ( , Bakuha? )爆ばく破は : Katsuki's Quirk allows him to secrete a nitroglycerin-like sweat from the palms of his hands and ignite it at will, allowing him to create powerful explosions. [ 5 ] The more Katsuki sweats, the stronger his explosions become. [ 22 ] If Katsuki abuses this power, his forearms will begin to hurt.

Katsuki has a great command of his Quirk's applications, something that was recognized by Best Jeanist, a top-tier pro hero; Katsuki can not only use explosions to attack, but he can also use them to propel himself and navigate through the air at high speeds, allowing him to fly towards his opponents without giving them time to react,[23] as well as evade incoming attacks, even while airborne.[24][25] The shockwave of an explosion can even be used as a shield.
Katsuki can sustain his blasts continuously, long enough to break Eijiro's Hardening Quirk[24] and nullify Shoto's "Sky-Piercing Ice Wall" for a short time before being overwhelmed.[25] As part of his training, Katsuki immersed his hands in boiling water to expand his sweat glands, then created chain blasts into the sky to increase the scale of his attacks.

Following his near-death experience at Tomura's hands, his Quirk awakened. This allowed his explosions to become stronger and more compact, enabling Katsuki to reach greater speeds. Subsequently, he achieved a level of explosive power that allowed him to create gigantic explosions, powerful enough to challenge All For One.

Enhanced Reflexes: Perhaps Katsuki's greatest physical attribute is his fantastic reflexes and reaction time. Initially, his reflexes are at a human level, but incredibly fast. He has been seen on several occasions overwhelming his enemies with his speed or completely dodging their attacks while counterattacking, such as in his battles with Ochaco, Cider House, and Izuku (even when the latter was at 5% of One For All). Once Izuku began using 8% of his true power, Katsuki quickly fell behind and could barely keep up. His superb reflexes even allow him to dodge a jet of carbonated water powerful enough to split a lamppost in half.
Culinary skills: Katsuki is surprisingly skilled in culinary practice, being able to cut vegetables very quickly and easily, as well as noticing that Shoto had not cut the scallion properly and scolding him for it.
Musical talent: Katsuki has great skill in playing the drums, as he has received lessons in the past.
Technical Skills: Katsuki possesses a certain degree of technical skill. He located Humarise's base by combining the two digital maps of the Detonator Bomb world and narrowing the search to a location Humarise hadn't specified, in addition to finding the Detonator Bomb control system.
Survival Skills: Thanks to his love of hiking, Katsuki has proven adept at surviving in the wild, whether on a snowy mountain or a deserted island. He is capable of setting up a campsite, knows the necessary resources, and even managed to build a shelter using limited supplies from his surroundings.

General Abilities: Katsuki has proven to be one of the strongest students in Class 1-A, placing third in the Quirk Apprehension Test, while also ranking first in both the UA Entrance Exam, where he had the highest villain score, and the UA Sports Festival. Katsuki's fighting style is all-out offense, using his Quirk's propulsive abilities to close the distance between himself and his opponents, followed by a barrage of close-range attacks that often begin with a powerful right hook. Katsuki can use his Explosion Quirk to propel himself into the air, blind opponents, and unleash long-range explosions, among other applications. Explosion is a versatile Quirk, especially in battle situations, as the recoil caused by the explosions can be exploited by Katsuki for mobility.
Enhanced Durability: Katsuki has demonstrated above-average stamina and durability. He is strong enough to regularly withstand the recoil of his own blasts, suffering only moderate pain. He blocked an 8% Izuku kick without breaking his arm, though he sustained a significant scratch. He even proved able to withstand attacks from All Might (while holding back), Nine, and the Serpenters, though not without considerable pain. During the Paranormal Liberation War, Katsuki's durability was further honed and strengthened, allowing him to withstand multiple stabs from Tomura's Rivet Stampede.

Katsuki is immensely proud and prefers to act alone, as he hates the idea of ​​being protected or having to rely on others for help (which he interprets as a weakness, causing him to react violently), unless, in the latter case, he is recognized as the undisputed leader within a team. At the beginning of his time at UA, Katsuki's cooperation was abysmal, often ignoring his teammates' ideas and suggestions in favor of his own direct approaches. His teamwork skills gradually improve, though Katsuki still comes across as condescending with his usual tone. However, it is clear that he now recognizes their importance, protecting them from danger and expecting them to do the same for him. As a leader, Katsuki is relentlessly perfectionistic and will only be satisfied with complete and undisputed victories.

Katsuki has a more vulnerable side, having cried several times due to wounded pride. After the Battle Test, seeing Izuku's cunning and the fact that he couldn't defeat him head-on, and later witnessing Shoto's power, Katsuki admitted that Momo Yaoyorozu was right about how reckless he was during his fight with Izuku. Katsuki has also shown moments of fear and guilt, the latter stemming from believing that he and his own weakness caused All Might to lose his remaining power and retire as a hero. However, due to years of misunderstandings, tension, and pride, Katsuki finds it difficult to do the same with Izuku.
Determined and hungry for victory, Katsuki smiles menacingly in the midst of battle. He is incredibly focused on achieving his own genuine victories and has learned never to underestimate his opponents. Not only is Katsuki highly athletic and talented in combat, but he is also very intelligent and extremely perceptive, capable of both strategic planning and improvisation. Furthermore, Katsuki's grades are among the highest in his class, and he was already fluent in reading at the age of four, proof that he takes his studies seriously. [13][5] Katsuki also possesses surprising talent in other areas, such as cooking and music, though he shows no particular interest in them. [14][15] Overall, he is considered a natural genius with the potential to become one of the top Pro Heroes.
Although Katsuki is a rather volatile Hero-in-Training, prone to impulsive reactions, he is intelligent enough to distinguish his allies from his enemies. While he isn't particularly kind or open with those on his side, or with anyone else for that matter, he is less hostile and even sometimes kind to those who manage to earn his respect. Due to his attitude and vulgar language, his classmates at UA often react negatively.

Katsuki is a rude, arrogant, short-tempered, self-centered, and aggressive person, especially during his teenage years. Despite his desire to become a Pro Hero, his personality is usually, at best, rude and, at worst, unheroic. This problematic behavior stems from his childhood, when he developed an inflated ego as a result of excessive praise for his powerful Explosion Quirk, which led him to bully a young Izuku Midoriya, who lacked a Quirk. He was extremely arrogant and condescending to those around him, often boasting about the power of his Explosion Quirk and even bragging that he would defeat his entire class. He frequently displayed hostility toward Izuku, primarily because of his former Quirklessness, and constantly belittled his dream of becoming a Hero for lacking a Quirk, in addition to derisively calling him "Deku" (meaning useless and incapable of achieving anything).
However, after being accepted into UA and suffering several personal defeats, one of them even at the hands of Izuku, Katsuki has gradually changed into a less antagonistic person, though he retains many of his unpleasant traits. Despite often being portrayed negatively, Katsuki's fierce character and competitive spirit have earned him an important role in Class 1-A, serving as a source of inspiration and motivation. [12]

Katsuki is a young man of above-average height, with a lean and muscular build. He has short, spiky, ash-blond hair, with an uneven fringe that falls over his eyebrows, and bright, piercing, intense red eyes that often reflect anger.

During his time at Aldera High School, like Izuku Midoriya, he wore a plain black gakuran uniform with yellow buttons, accompanied by brown loafers.

At UA, he wears the standard uniform, though without his usual red tie. He has a few buttons undone on the top of his white shirt, and his baggy pants hang around his ankles despite wearing a belt. After the Paranormal Liberation War, Katsuki sports a much neater uniform, including the red tie he previously didn't wear.

His hero costume consists of a tight-fitting black tank top with an orange "X" in the center, creating a V-neck design, with two black dots along the left side of the neck, which is the trademark of his costume designer, Sasori Nimaru. [8][9] The outfit includes a collar with rectangular ends, each with three holes on the side and front. He wears black sleeves that extend from his Grenadier Armbands.
up to his biceps, ending in fine orange tips. He wears dark green gloves with orange palms, and beneath his Grenadier Bracers are forearm bracers with metal plates. A dark green and orange belt, equipped with two grenades on each side, secures his baggy trousers, which have dark green leg holster pockets fastened by straps at the thighs, and metal knee guards with four orange bolts attached to them and two on the side. He wears knee-high black combat boots with orange soles, eight eyelets on each boot, and black straps with orange tips at the top. His mask is jagged and black, with a large black and orange stripe.
