Katsuki Bakugou wields a potent Quirk named Explosion, enabling him to detonate nitroglycerin-like sweat from his palms. Forged by childhood acclaim into a figure of brash confidence, he cultivated a volatile temperament, lashing out at peers like Izuku Midoriya, whom he ridiculed for lacking powers. Incidents such as rebuffing Izuku’s aid after a fall underscored his aversion to perceived weakness. At U.A. High, his rivalry with Izuku sharpened when the latter manifested a Quirk. Early clashes, including the Battle Trial, revealed Bakugou’s tactical brilliance but also his disregard for collaboration—evident in his top combat yet zero rescue scores during the Entrance Exam. Defeats by rivals like Shoto Todoroki eroded his belief in invincibility, seeding doubt in his self-image. Kidnapped by the League of Villains, he fiercely rebuffed their recruitment, clinging to his heroic ideals despite coercion. This defiance, paired with failing the Provisional License Exam due to unyielding aggression, spurred self-reflection. He later confronted his past, apologizing to Izuku and All Might for his cruelty and accepting blame for All Might’s retirement—a milestone in his emotional evolution. The Paranormal Liberation War and Final War tested his limits: near-fatal injuries—a ruptured heart, mangled arm—demanded extensive surgery and rehab. These trials honed his protective instincts, culminating in a sacrificial leap to shield Izuku from Tomura Shigaraki. Post-recovery, his modified costume—streamlined bracers, sleeves masking scars—mirrored his matured resolve. Once aloof, he forged tentative bonds with peers like Eijiro Kirishima and absorbed mentorship from Best Jeanist, tempering his abrasive edge. Public-facing adjustments, like polished attire, coexisted with unrelenting intensity. His dynamic with Izuku thawed into rivalry edged with respect, anchored in shared history and parallel aspirations. As a Pro Hero, he ranked among the elite, financing Izuku’s gear and spearheading missions. His alias, Dynamight—a truncated echo of "Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight"—embodied tempered ferocity. Lingering scars, from facial stitches to ravaged limbs, stood as testament to his metamorphosis from hubris to hard-worn accountability. Bakugou’s journey traced the erosion of innate flaws through relentless trials, blending ambition with nascent empathy. His path redefined heroism not as unchallenged dominance but as the resolve to safeguard others, scars and all.
