Bakugo Katsuki

Psychological Profile

Personality disorder and initial context PERSONAL:

Bakugou is an impulsive and deeply prideful individual, constantly dealing with an insatiable need for validation and an underlying fear of failure. This insecurity, though well-masked under a façade of self-sufficiency, pushes him to reject any form of vulnerability. As the narrative unfolds, Bakugou demonstrates an initial resistance towards the darker aspects of Kirishima's world, as these clash with his rigid sense of justice and control.

However, this confrontation with the unknown awakens something deeper: a mixture of fascination and fear. Bakugou finds himself in a constant tug-of-war between his morality and the magnetism exerted by Kirishima's twisted nature.

Attraction to darkness

Kirishima's obsession with him and his disturbing actions are slowly chipping away at Bakugou's psychological defenses. This attraction isn't simply born from a physical or emotional connection, but from something much more visceral: Kirishima represents everything that Bakugou tries to repress in himself: violence.

Psychological transformation IN PROGRESS OF HISTORY.

BEGINNINGS: Bakugou's arrival to the case.

• Initial motivation

The story of The Cannibal Teeth begins with Bakugou Katsuki in a professionally established but personally fraught stage. As a forensic criminologist with an exceptional talent for unraveling the criminal mind, he is known for his direct, methodical and obsessive approach to his work. Although Bakugou is reluctant to accept cases that stray from his comfort zone, the figure of Kirishima Eijiro, known as "Red Riot", intrigues him more than he is willing to admit at first.

1. Career Challenge: Kirishima is unlike any other criminal Bakugou has ever analyzed. He doesn't completely fit any existing profile, and his ability to manipulate, terrify.

and at the same time, generating an almost charismatic aura makes him a psychological enigma. The lack of clear patterns in his crimes awakens in Bakugou a professional desire to decipher him.

2. External pressure: Bakugou's superiors see him as the only person capable of accurately profiling Kirishima. Although he is initially reluctant, his pride and desire to prove his worth lead him to accept the case.

The first meeting with Kirishima:

The real beginning of his descent into darkness occurs during his first interviews with Kirishima in an interrogation room. This encounter is a clash of personalities and a demonstration of Kirishima's unsettling magnetism.

1. Initial confrontation: Kirishima, though handcuffed and seemingly controlled, maintains a relaxed and confident posture that disarms Bakugou. Instead of responding with fear or submission, he plays with the questions, taking the conversation to personal ground. From the first moment, Kirishima makes it clear that he understands Bakugou more than he is willing to admit.

2. Psychological tension: In the first few interactions, Kirishima begins to plant small doubts in Bakugou about his morality and motives. “Do you know hunger, Doctor?” These phrases resonate with Bakugou, who begins to question whether his fascination with the case is purely professional.

3. Fascination with the forbidden: Although he initially repugns Kirishima's sadism, Bakugou can't help but be intrigued by how he operates outside of any moral restrictions.

Investigation on Kirishima:

Outside of interviews, Bakugou delves deeper into Kirishima's world through archives, police reports, and survivor testimonies. The investigation becomes more than just a case; Bakugou becomes obsessed with understanding Kirishima's mind.

1. Discovery of the crimes: When analyzing Kirishima's crimes, Bakugou not only sees sadism and brutality, but also a kind of twisted "logic" in his actions. There is an emotional pattern behind each murder, as if he is sending a message to those trying to understand him.

2. Obsession with Details: Bakugou begins spending entire nights reviewing recordings, notes, and evidence. He often finds himself going through images of crime scenes, trying to find some trace of humanity in Kirishima's violence. This search not only consumes him, but it begins to affect his sleep and personal interactions.

First cracks in Bakugou:

Over time, Bakugou begins to feel like Kirishima is in his head, even outside of interviews. There are times when he catches himself thinking about words Kirishima has said or his gestures during conversations.

1. Disturbing dreams: Bakugou begins to have dreams in which he and Kirishima interact in more personal scenarios. Although he initially dismisses them as a product of stress, he can't ignore the emotional intensity they provoke in him.

2. Moral Doubt: As he digs deeper into Kirishima, Bakugou begins to question whether there really is a clear line between him as "the hero" and Kirishima as "the villain." This ambiguity begins to creep into his thoughts, leading him to consider that perhaps understanding Kirishima means accepting parts of himself that he's repressed.

3. Shared Obsession: While Kirishima mistakes obsession for love, Bakugou begins to develop a connection that also borders on the obsessive, though he doesn't acknowledge it. He's drawn to the intensity with which Kirishima views him, an intensity that no one else has shown him.

4. Relationship with Kirishima: Kirishima's obsession slowly consumes him, and Bakugou begins to develop an emotional dependence disguised as control.

He begins to develop an emotional dependency disguised as control. Deep down, he is drawn to Kirishima's devotion, even if it is tinged with violence and manipulation.

Fall into darkness:

Eventually, Bakugou stops seeing Kirishima's darkness as something alien and starts to accept it as an extension of himself. This change is gradual and fueled by shared moments of vulnerability, in which both characters reveal who they are behind their masks.

Bakugou from “The Cannibal Teeth” is a character who, at first, is defined by a strong sense of morality and control, but who, under Kirishima’s influence, begins to accept the shadows within himself. His attraction to Kirishima is not just romantic or physical; it is a reflection of his own internal struggle, where light and dark coexist and, eventually, intertwine.

PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT OF BAKUGOU:

While maintaining his professionalism, Bakugou begins to feel attracted to the confidence and certainty with which Kirishima defends his vision of the world. This fascination creates an internal struggle in the analyst:

"I wonder if it's possible to understand it without being consumed by its darkness. Sometimes, I wonder if it's already too late."

As Bakugou digs deeper into the case, he begins to question his moral perception of himself and Kirishima. Though his mission is to analyze him as a criminal, he can't help but be curious about the inner workings of his mind.

• Fragments:

"He's the most human monster I've ever met."

"He said he understood why I 'bite' with words, because I was just like him. For the first time, I was afraid of what I saw in his eyes."

1. Progressive Obsession:

• Bakugou begins to feel a mix of repulsion and fascination towards Kirishima. Although he maintains his role as an analyst, he can't help but feel attracted to the confidence with which Kirishima embraces his darkness.

• Featured Notes:

Day 1.

_"Today was my first interaction with him. As soon as I walked into the interview room, he greeted me with a smile that was way too calm for someone in his situation. He didn't seem anxious or intimidated, like he was in complete control. That bothered me. Who the hell does he think he is?

I tried to keep control of the conversation, but he quickly turned it towards me. Personal questions, observations about my behavior. "Are you always so impatient, Doctor?", he's a bastard.

Day 6.

"Today I dug deeper into his past. I'm amazed at how "normal" his childhood seemed. There was no obvious abuse or trauma. Everything suggests that he was born with that inclination towards chaos, as if he had it in his DNA. What I find most striking is that he was born with a penchant for chaos. What stands out is the cat incident. I don't understand how his parents didn't notice the kind of monster that was starting to develop from the first bite."

Day 9.

"In today's interview, Kirishima was more open, but no less manipulative. He talks about his crimes as if they were works of art. He said something that got me thinking: "Teeth tell stories, you know? Every crack, every mark, is a reminder of something you'll never forget."

Day 10

"I studied him silently today as he spoke. His gestures, his posture, his tone of voice. Everything about him screams control. He never moves without purpose. It's as if every word, every smile is calculated to provoke a reaction. The worst thing is that it works.

At the end of the session, he left me with a question: "Do you know hunger, doctor?" I don't know why, but I felt that he wasn't referring only to the physical."

Day 13.

"I've been reviewing his victim files until late. Each of them had something that caught Kirishima's eye that he deemed 'worthy of possession.'"

In today's interview, he dropped something interesting: "I like it when people try to understand me. It makes them vulnerable." It was like a direct blow to my pride. He knows what I'm doing, and he seems to enjoy watching my mind work to figure it out.

"It's like he's expecting me to give him something in exchange for information."

Day 19.

"I don't know if it's his attitude or the case itself, but I'm starting to feel more involved than I should. There's something about his darkness that intrigues me, even though I don't want to admit it. Is it the way he dominates every interaction? Or maybe how he seems to be in absolute control even when he's locked away? Whatever it is, I have to remind myself that my job is to profile him, not let him get to me."

Day 26.

"Their teeth are so sharp... What would it feel like to be bitten by them?"

Day without registration.

"I can't let him win, but I also can't deny that I'm beginning to understand why others have fallen under his influence."

Day without registration.

"I can't get it out of my head."
