We will introduce Bakugou Katsuki, the childhood friend, rival, and fighting buddy (?) of the main character, Midoriya Izuku, who has now become the most popular among readers. Why is he so popular?! Why is he No. 1, beating out the main character and All Might?! You will understand Bakugou's charm in about 5 minutes. We will introduce him thoroughly!
Who is Bakugou Katsuki?!
A Giant-like figure?!

Spiky straight hair, light blonde. Red eyes, white eyes, he is a handsome guy in My Hero Academia. He's what you'd call a delinquent, and he says all the usual cliches like "Where are you at!?" and "If you make a strange move, I'll blow you up!" (lol). He has a very strong ego and tends to look down on others, and he's very confident and has a lot of pride. This sounds like a pretty eccentric character (no, he really is strong (lol)), but it's Bakugo who has definitely grown mentally while being pushed around at U.A. High School. He's childish and emotional, and the type who easily gets provoked. He used to be headstrong, but now he can think a little and make calm decisions. There are still some things I'm worried about, but he's competing with Izuku and doing his best every day!
This is what I like about him...

The high school he currently attends is a national school, and when Bakugou enrolled, his deviation score was a whopping 79! He has the ability to easily pass the toughest high schools. Of course, he scores high not only in practical skills, but also in written tests. The above line was spoken in middle school, before he even took the entrance exam. Such confidence! Even without considering his quirks, he has impressive physical abilities, able to run 50m in under 5 seconds and throw a shot put of 67m - a monster class. And because he never received any criticism or warning from anyone, he has developed such an arrogant personality. But it's this prickly, sadistic side of him that makes him so charming! That's what they call a tsundere!
And that gaze...!

He's popular. He looks like this, but he's often embarrassed or has something he wants to say. He's the type to appeal with his eyes. He's serious at heart, but he's actually a petty person. He's explosively petty (lol). He doesn't smoke because of his school report card, and he often bullies Izuku, but he doesn't do any physical damage. But it's no good. His obsession with chasing someone until he gets revenge is second to none (lol) This kind of passionate side is also funny, and one of the reasons he's so popular!
Bakugou's quirk is the strongest!?
Natural talent!

His quirk is "explosion." There are many different quirks in the world of children, but Bakugo's quirk is a "good quirk." It's a quirk that everyone envies! This quirk allows him to freely control the nitro-like substance that comes out of the sweat glands in his hands and explode them. The power of the explosion changes depending on the amount of nitro he produces. In other words, he is stronger in the summer when his sweat glands are more likely to open. Of course, his favorite foods are spicy foods that open up the sweat glands (lol)
What is the relationship between Izuku and Bakugo?
Always close to each other...!

He was always by my side from kindergarten to high school. If they had the same quirk, would their relationship have been different? Izuku calls him "Kacchan" and Bakugo calls him "Deku." Until now, Bakugou has looked down on Izuku and existed only for his own sense of superiority. However, upon learning about Izuku's talent and abilities after inheriting One For All, his frustration and feelings of betrayal mixed and turned into anger. He had previously thought Izuku was no match for him, but now he has grown so rapidly. It's hard not to be impatient.
Rivals for life!?

This is a combat training scene where his pride, self-esteem, and even composure are all taken away. His attack was read and he was defeated in the battle. From this point on, his emotions escalate all at once, and with tears of regret, he declares war, saying, "This is where it all begins! I'm going to...! This is where it all begins! OK? I'm going to be number one here!" However, this experience helps Bakugo overcome various difficulties and become a very reliable person. He's hardworking and smart, so he grows quickly. Everyone recognizes him as a genius! Of course, this abundance of talent is also part of his charm.

We don't get along badly, but our personalities are completely different, and because of the way we've treated each other and our relationship up until now, we've never had a heart-to-heart talk. But then Bakugo asked me with a serious expression I'd never seen before, "What did you do to make All Might go that far? Let me find out." From there, we started fighting with our fists. "No matter how far I pushed him away, he always followed me and I never knew what he was thinking," and "Bakugo is the strongest and coolest hero I'm closest to," they confess their impressions and thoughts of each other. This is youth!
I can only say this to Izuku

Bakugou was kidnapped by the League of Villains, and at the end, All Might and All For One, the boss, clashed again. Although he used all his power and won, All Might retired from being a hero. Bakugou was convinced that he was the cause of this, and this is what he said. I'm weak, so I ended Bakugou's idol All Might. Although he won the sports festival and achieved good results after entering U.A. High School, he must have felt disgusted with himself for not being able to compete with Izuku. It's so touching to see Bakugou's humanity! Even though it's not his fault, he still loves All Might, who gave him the opportunity to become a hero. He hasn't shown this behavior until now, but this is what a boy is like.
Who is the handsome voice of Bakugou Katsuki?
He has a variety of roles...!

Bakugou's voice actor is the very popular Okamoto Nobuhiko. He is a genius voice actor who can play a variety of roles, from cool to ruthless, and is truly suitable for Bakugou. Okamoto is a very handsome and refreshing guy. He is very cheerful and has extremely high communication skills, in contrast to Bakugou (lol). Apparently, the first episode of the anime version of My Hero Academia was recorded alone. However, I was impressed by his acting skills, which didn't make me feel that way. He's amazing!
Summary of Bakugou Katsuki

What did you think? This time, we put the spotlight on the biggest problem child (?) Bakugou Katsuki.
What do you think? I think everyone can sympathize with Bakugou, who is very charming and very human. His greatest charm is that he has a strong desire to be a hero, just like Izuku. From the outside, he looks like a complete villain (lol), but Bakugou's good point is that he honestly shows his fighting spirit and pride, which is something he needs to correct. When he shows it so blatantly, it's actually refreshing! (lol)
In the future, I'm sure he will grow while competing with unprecedented rivals such as Izuku and Todoroki Shoto!
