Bakugo’s Best Moments In My Hero Academia

Bakugo's Best Moments In My Hero Academia

As a seasoned fan of My Hero Academia, I must say that Bakugo has proven himself to be an exceptional hero-in-the-making time and again. His unwavering determination and selflessness are truly inspiring.


As a dedicated gamer, I’ve got to say that “My Hero Academia” truly excels at ensuring every character gets their time in the spotlight. Among them all, there’s one who consistently shines brighter than the rest – none other than Katsuki Bakugo.

Initially, during the opening scenes of the series, Bakugo appeared to be a character with a hostile disposition, often antagonizing the main character, Izuku Midoriya, which wasn’t surprising as the League of Villains found his behavior appealing enough to consider him for their team.

In contrast to his initially menacing character portrayal during the early episodes, Bakugo has repeatedly demonstrated exceptional abilities that surpass not only Izuku Midoriya but also his fellow classmates on multiple instances.

From demonstrating his combat skills to heroically rescuing Midoriya, these instances highlight what sets Bakugo apart.

17Deku vs Kacchan

Among the initial lessons we, the budding champions, embarked upon, there was a session dedicated to martial arts, where our group was split into “champions” and “antagonists.” In this sparring match, Bakugo and Midoriya clashed for the first time.

Initially, I managed to dodge and counter Bakugo’s moves with smooth judo maneuvers, giving me an edge in our encounters. However, it looked like I was outmatching him for a brief period.

Yet, not much time passed before Bakugo showcased all of his abilities in full force. At a glance, it would seem that he relied more on brute strength over intellect.

However, it became evident that Bakugo possessed extraordinary combat intuition. Moreover, he showcased an unparalleled ability by employing his explosive power to swiftly change direction in flight, a maneuver never before witnessed by his contemporaries.

Bakugo is a character from anime who exudes an air of pride that leaves everyone around him energized. He delivered the inaugural address at the U.A. Sports Festival, boldly declaring his intention to emerge victorious. Throughout the competition’s battle round, Bakugo demonstrated unquestionable skill by defeating notable opponents such as Uraraka, Tokoyami, and Kirishima, solidifying his reputation as one of the most talented students in the entire school.

In the climactic showdown with Shoto Todoroki, I was geared up for a no-holds-barred win. Yet, to my surprise, Shoto held back and took the loss. This victory left me seething because I yearned for an all-out battle, but I did keep my word from the start.

In typical fashion, the combat-obsessed Bakugo proposed a rematch against Midoriya following the hero licensing exam. His determination, as usual, was unyielding. Throughout the skirmish, he left little space for Midoriya to respond, swiftly launching one powerful explosion after another. Caught off guard by Bakugo’s incessant assaults, Midoriya—renowned for his cunning and foresight—found himself outmaneuvered.

In a new fighting technique where he used feet rather than hands, Midoriya found himself practicing. However, Bakugo’s attacks and dominance in air combat cornered Midoriya, leading him to utilize all his resources. In the end, it was Bakugo who emerged victorious, further proving that he was unmatched among his classmates as a fighter.

Students eagerly anticipated selecting their hero names, each brainstorming unique and appealing options. Names like Tsukuyomi, Red Riot, Uravity, Chargebolt, among others, were suggested. However, the mood shifted when Bakugo proposed a less-than-ideal name: “King Explosion Murder.

As a hardcore gamer, it wasn’t surprising that a character named “Explosion King Murder” had Bakugo’s aggressive personality written all over him. The moniker fits perfectly with his explosive quirk and ambition to be the best, earning the title of “King.” Plus, the “Murder” part seems like a nod to Bakugo’s battlefield language, where he frequently threatens opponents with phrases like “you’re going to die!

The kidnapping of Bakugo dealt a heavy blow to the prestige of U.A. High School, and it also affected Bakugo personally. His peers – Tenya, Momo, Kirishima, Shoto, and Midoriya – banded together for a rescue operation to bring him back safely. When they felt the moment was right, they all leapt into action, with Kirishima shouting for Bakugo to join them.

Instead of Midoriya extending his hand, it was Bakugo who dared to confront the villains first, rather than being saved by Midoriya. Luckily for both of them, he accepted the assistance. They shot through the sky at a rapid pace, leaving the villains only able to observe as professionals handled the situation.

In the heart-pounding clash with the League of Villains, I along with my fellow heroes, put everything on the line in an attempt to halt Shigaraki’s destructive rampage. As his power, decay, turned anything he touched into dust – be it the ground or anyone connected to it – we were forced to take our fight skyward.

In the heat of battle, Midoriya seemed on the brink of losing, as he was left vulnerable when Shigaraki launched a fierce assault. Recognizing the threat, Bakugo employed his explosive ability in an unprecedented manner; he fired rapid, intense, swift bursts that raced towards Midoriya at breakneck speed. Arriving just in time, he shoved Midoriya aside, but it was him who ended up taking the brunt of the attack instead.

In a surprising turn of events, Class 1-A and Class 1-B found themselves locked in a friendly contest that became more intense than they had anticipated. Among the many intriguing matches, Bakugo’s stood out as particularly captivating. His approach to securing victory was multifaceted: some viewed it as a means to save others, while others saw it as saving people only after winning.

Essentially, they were required to support one another in a reciprocal manner. Bakugo would shield his comrades when they found themselves in peril, such as the instance where he defended Jiro from Togaru’s “sharp razor” attack. Conversely, Sato stepped in to save Bakugo when Yosetsu employed his “weld” ability and trapped him on metal pillars. They carried out their strategy seamlessly, ultimately overpowering their adversaries, which was largely due to Bakugo’s efforts.

Once more, it was Bakugo facing off against Tomura Shigaraki. With their comrades, they had to devise a strategy to defeat this foe, who remained a powerful adversary even without his quirk. In the heat of battle, Bakugo employed his imposing Strafe Panzer equipment along with his latest move, Howitzer Impact: Cluster. This allowed him to launch an intense barrage of attacks and a colossal explosion.

Despite the spectacular maneuver, it failed to defeat Shigaraki. Bakugo’s ability involves him secreting nitroglycerin from his palms, which he can then detonate. In this skirmish, however, he introduced a novel technique that enabled him to utilize his power across his entire body. This allowed him to move at speeds faster than the human eye could perceive. Regrettably, employing this powerful quirk left his body severely drained, causing him to faint on the brink of death.
