"Can't stand morons like you who can't get to the damned point! Basically you're saying, 'we wanna cause trouble, be our pal!' What a joke! I've always admired All Might's triumphs. No matter what any of you jerks say... Nothing's ever gonna change that!" ― Katsuki Bakugo
Katsuki Bakugo is one of the protagonists of the My Hero Academia series.
Background[]
This is where a deeper explanation of the character's backstory is given. Doesn't need to be very long.
Stats[]
Attack Potency: City Block Level (Frequently shown to be Izuku Midoriya's equal on numerous occasions, and has fought him on even grounds.)
Speed: At least Hypersonic+ (Can keep up with Midoriya, who was capable of dodging his explosions using 5% of One for All. Bakugo's explosions are caused by nitroglycerin, and he's often used them to propel himself forward.)
Durability: City Block Level (Scaled to AP. Able to fight on par and take hits from Izuku and can withstand the recoil of his own explosions.)
Hax: Explosion Manipulation (via his quirk)
Intelligence: High (Much like Izuku Midoriya, is able to come up with combat plans quickly. Has been shown to have very impressive leadership skills.)
Stamina: High (Underwent extensive training to improve his quirk.)
Powers, Techniques, and Equipment[]
Powers[]
- Explosion: Bakugo's Quirk. Bakugo produces a nitroglycerin-based sweat that he can ignite from the palms of his hands to create powerful explosions. The more Bakugo sweats, the more powerful his explosions become.
Techniques[]
- Blast Rush Turbo: Bakugo throws his hands back and uses explosions to propel himself. He uses this both on the ground to increase his speed and through the air to achieve a pseudo form of flight.
- Stun Grenade: Bakugo starts by creating a sphere of light between his hands that explodes into a large scale flash. Similar to the effect of an actual stun grenade, the flash of light blinds anyone close by.
- AP Shot: Bakugo stretches out one of his hands and uses his other hand to form a circle on the palm of his outstretched hand. Bakugo then fires an explosion through the circle, which creates a concentrated blast beam. Powerful enough to pierce solid concrete.
- Explode-A-Pult: While in mid-air, Bakugo grabs an opponent with one of his arms, then propels himself in a spinning motion by firing explosions with his free arm. Once he gains enough momentum, Bakugo forcefully throws his opponent with the aid of another explosion.
- Howitzer Impact: Bakugo's strongest move. Bakugo takes to the air and then uses explosions to propel himself in a circular motion to create a tornado. This tornado builds up oxygen to fuel the incoming explosion. After colliding with the target, Bakugo releases the powerful aforementioned explosion.
Equipment[]
- Grenadier Bracers: Grenade-shaped gauntlets that Bakugo wears with his hero uniform. They are capable of storing up his sweat that, when filled, he can later use to unleash an incredibly powerful explosion.

Powerscaling[]
As the main rival to Izuku Midoriya, it should come as no surprise that he is frequently shown to be comparable to him. In addition, given how powerful his quirk is, it's safe to scale him to the rest of Class 1A as he's often shown to be above them in terms of firepower and skill.
Weaknesses[]
- Extremely hot-headed and has a short temper. While Bakugo has gotten far better at controlling it, it can still lead him to make rash decisions.
- Overuse of his quirk causes an eventual strain on his body.
- Cold environments can limit the amount of sweat he can produce for his explosions.
