Character Analysis

(Avoiding Spoilers)

Living… at the UA high school dorms. Bakugo attends one of the most prestigious hero academies in Japan.

Profession… student and aspiring professional hero. Bakugo's biggest dream is to become a career hero, and he takes great pride in his Quirk: supernatural abilities that manifest randomly in some percentage of the population. Bakugo's Quirk triggers nitroglycerin sweat from his palms, which can be used in explosive attacks.

Interests… eating spicy food and coming up with ridiculous hero names for himself. He also, once upon a time, enjoyed bullying Midoriya Izuku. He's turned over a new leaf now, however.

Relationship Status… single. Learning is Bakugo's current priority.

Challenge… overcoming his insecurities and becoming a great hero. Bakugo has struggled to deal with Midoriya's sudden newfound Quirk, as well as reckon with the way he aggressively put down the other boy during middle school. Like many bullies, Bakugo's aggressiveness stems from personal insecurity. He can't tolerate anything he perceives as someone looking down on him, which leads to regrettable actions on his part. As he says, "I only look at victory! That's all!" While Bakugo's personality isn't sunshine and roses, he does take becoming a hero very seriously and possesses great talent and command over his Quirk.

Personality… caustic and fiery, to say the least. Bakugo gets an F for any cooperative group tasks due to his gigantic ego. He is unpleasant occasionally too, especially to Midoriya. However, Bakugo works hard, strives for perfection, and is committed to his morals, despite villains trying to recruit him to their side. For that, he gets an A in heroism.
