Katsuki Bakugo (爆ばく豪ごう勝かつ己き Bakugō Katsuki?) Daibakusatsu -Shin Dainamaito?), is a student from Class 1-A of U.A. Academy, who is training to become a Hero. He is the deuteragonist of the series and childhood friend turned rival of Izuku Midoriya.

Katsuki was presented as a very impulsive, aggressive and arrogant person, as seen in his way of acting. treat Izuku, whom he constantly violated physically and psychologically, even telling him to kill himself, showing his attitude as a bastard.

He has a superiority complex, always wanting to be the best at everything and trying prove it at all costs; However, even with those traits, he knows how to admit when he has been defeated, as demonstrated during the Test Battle, when at the entrance to the academy, Izuku tried to explain to him that his One For All Gift came from someone else, and Katsuki interpreted that he was making fun of him, so he tried to silence him by saying that he simply defeated him.[3]

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 shown in the battle test, in which he mercilessly attacks Izuku and recklessly destroys everything in the enclosed environment they were in. Despite that and regardless of his lack of compassion, he has been recognized as having enormous talent and acumen for fighting, since he not only attacks and destroys, he is also capable of using his Gift to move in the air. This being highlighted by Momo Yaoyorozu, Shoto Todoroki[4] and All Might himself.[5]

Although he is not the hero with the best character, as the story progresses his behavior begins to mature slowly, stopping being so rude and proud. As the year progresses he begins to trust and cooperate with his classmates, whom he previously rejected since he wanted to do everything on his own, he did not help nor did he expect to be helped. That egomania cost him several mistakes in classes that led him to defeat or being very close to it, if it weren't for the fact that he had to reluctantly cooperate with his classmates.

His inspiration to become a hero was the same as Izuku's, the symbol of peace All Might. However, his beliefs are different: Katsuki feels that a hero should never stop fighting or give up, regardless of the threat he faces, and that always winning is the mark of a true hero. Additionally, due to his arrogant and conceited behavior, several heroes, civilians, and even villains have commented that his behavior is more villainous than heroic. However, Katsuki is unwavering in his goal of becoming a hero, having flatly rejected Tomura's invitation to the Villain Alliance.

At first when he was defeated, he went into a kind of shock and in addition to this, he does not admit that he surpasses others when the fight ends without him delivering the final blow, like when he fought against Ochaco Uraraka at the Sports Festival and they decided to end the fight before he finished Ochaco.< /p><p>Personality:

His hero costume consists of a tight muscle shirt , and black with an orange "X" in the center, forming a v-neck. There are two dots along the left line of his collar, which indicate the support company that designed his costume. His costume also has a metal collar with rectangular ends that have three holes on each side. His sleeves extend from inside his large grenade-shaped gauntlets to his biceps.

His Winter Hero Costume In winter, he wears a large jacket with a high collar, instead of the usual tank top, although it has the same orange "X" design, so he can still sweat a sufficient amount, which is how his Quirk works.</p ><p>Abilities

Improved strength: Katsuki has physical strength superior to the rest of the students. his classmates since he has been practicing for years 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 their battle at the festival.

Leadership skills: Katsuki has always been criticized for his lack of cooperation, usually as a result of your overwhelming ego preventing you from following the example of others. However thanks to Katsuki's own determination, perfectionism, and intelligence, he is a capable leader should others decide to follow him. During the fourth round of Joint Training, Setsuna Tokage admitted that even if his team had attacked him at once, they had no chance of victory. In the end despite Class 1-B's exceptional teamwork and Tokage's strategic planning, they failed to capture a single member of Class 1-A, mainly thanks to Katsuki's efforts, adaptability, and superior skills. .

Katsuki is very skilled at playing the drums, having attended classes in the past.

Explosion (爆破 Bakuha ?): The Katsuki's gift allows him to secrete nitroglycerin through his sweat.their hands and detonate it at will to create explosions[6]. The more Bakugo sweats, the stronger his explosions are [7]. As indicated by Best Jeanist, Katsuki has a strong grasp on the applications of her Quirk [8]. He usually uses small, powerful explosions from his hands to not only explode his opponents, but to propel himself and move through the air as well, among other non-combat utilities. He can keep the sequence of his explosions long enough to destroy a giant ice wall created by Shoto

The explosions are powerful enough to send his opponents flying without much effort. time for them to react[10]. He can use them quickly enough to evade incoming attacks, even in the air.[9][11] His most powerful explosion 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 shock wave that shook the entire Stadium of the Festival. Sports[12]. Although he later uses it several times in a row when he faces All Might in the physical test of the final exam.

Katsuki suffers some of the impact of his explosions due to the magnitude it may have. but the overall effect is minimal given his physical conditioning. He is able to activate constant explosions around him without feeling any negative repercussions, even after many powerful explosions. However, excessive use can result in Bakugo ending up injuring his arms from the force of powerful explosions.

Another drawback of Katsuki's Quirk is that he is unable to use their explosions in areas filled with flammable gas, as their explosions would ignite the gas and spread it further. Additionally, because his Quirk relies on his sweaty hands, it is more difficult for his Quirk to work in colder climates. Without the sweat of his palms, he cannot use his Quirk to its fullest potential.

Stun Grenade (閃光弾スタングレネード Sutan Gurenēdo ?): Katsuki begins by creating a sphere of light between his hands that explodes in a large-scale flash. Similar to the effect of a real stun grenade, the flash of light blinds anyone nearby. He first used this technique to defeat Fumikage Tokoyami.

Blast Rush Turbo: Cluster (爆ばく速そくターボ クラスター Bakusoku Tābo Kurasutā ?): As with his Blast Rush Turbo, Katsuki He positions his hands back and uses explosions to quickly propel himself forward, only this time, he condenses them to make the explosions stronger and faster, resulting in a flurry of blasts that launch him forward at incredible speeds.</ p><p>Special Moves

AP Shot (徹甲弾A・P・ショット Ei Pī Shotto ?): Katsuki extends one of his hands and uses his other hand to form a circle in the palm of his outstretched hand. Katsuki then fires a blast through the circle, creating a concentrated blast beam. By focusing the path of his blasts on a single point rather than around his entire palm, Katsuki creates a concentrated blast with a reduced impact area, but with enough power to successfully pierce solid concrete.

Zero Distance Stun Grenade (ゼロ距きょ離り閃光弾スタングレネード Zero Kyori Sutan Gurenēdo ?): A variation in which Katsuki fires his stun grenade at point-blank range at the opponent to immediately stun them and immobilize them with little lasting damage. This variation was first used against Setsuna in the fourth round of the Joint Training Battle.

Mine Shock Wave (爆ばく風ふう地じ雷らい Bakufū Jirai ?): Katsuki kneels and places his Grenade Bracers on the ground, making them explode, creating a shock wave that clears everything around him.

Grenade Bracers grenades (籠こ手て Kote?): Support added by Katsuki to his hero suit, it serves the purpose of storing his sweat that contains nitroglycerin, basically they are like a storage pond. Under those enormous grains there are other armbands, but made of fabric with receptors that capture the sweat and send it to the pond. Once fully charged it can release a gigantic explosion without suffering the slightest damage. She uses this equipment for the first time in the Test Battle where she destroys much of the building just by using a charged bracer. Externally, some handles protrude that have the function of protecting the safety of the armband that allows the explosion to be released, this in order to prevent said safety from being pulled by mistake in an intense battle, either by the user himself or by his opponent.</ p><p>Equipment (Weapons)

Knee pads: They serve the purpose of protecting his knees, but the purpose for which were added to the suit to use them as a blunt weapon, although he has never been seen using them for that purpose.
