[@tyronebroson9180]

Honestly the fact that bakugous character development is based around him realizing that he isn't the best, he won't ever be the best, and there will be things that can hurt him, while also giving him the support he needs from his peers, allowing him to know that he is allowed to be weak, that he can ask for help, and help others, is something so special to me. The idea that this kid, who was raised by the people that surrounded him to believe that he was something untouchable, realizing his flaws and instead of allowing it to beat him down, he adds it as fuel to the fire to keep him going. It's a great character arc I'm so happy with where he's going.

[@WhoreforShu]

@@cloudyceo4708 It can be hard to believe that Bakugou is abused because his mother understood Bakugou. She also let him live in the dorms because she noticed that Aizawa understood him too. However, at the end of the day, we cannot deny that she smacked Bakugou. He even mentioned in season 4 episode 16 that violence is necessary to discipline kids and that it was how he was raised. Violence isn’t a good choice for discipline. It can give children the message that smacking or hitting other people is an OK way to deal with strong feelings. Children who are smacked can be more aggressive than children who aren’t smacked. They’re more likely to have a challenging behavior, anxiety, or depression. There are better ways than smacking to guide your children towards good behavior. So I think that it is reasonable to say she is an abusive parent. I also noticed that Bakugou's father is more on the quiet side so I personally think he just let it happen. I'm an anime fan that only watched 4 seasons so there should be stuff that I didn't mention.

I wouldn't say it's like that. Ever since he was little everyone boasted about his power, so much so that he started to believe it himself. He doesn't act like he has a huge ego he *does* have a huge ego. He has a god complex. And his whole thing with Deku was that Bakugo truly believed he was untouchable and the greatest, so whenever Deku, someone he saw as weaker and below him, always rushed to help him Bakugo saw it as if Deku either expected him to fail and thought he was weak/on equal footing with him. Example, when he fell in the water. He knew he was fine and everyone else knew he was fine, but Deku rushed in to help him. He thought "this quirkless nobody believes that I'm not special or strong like everyone else and that I'm weak enough to need help from someone like him". And that rocked Bakugo to his core because it would bring self doubt. Since he has such a huge ego he saw everyone around him as useless, but as the series progresses he begins to chip away at his ego and become more reasonable/compassionate.

[@dustytailstudios]

To me, bakugo is the example of a kid with alot of pressure and admiration, and taking it too deeply to heart to the point of being aggressive. He has a quirk that his kindergarten teachers praised as strong, kids adored him. And when deku didn't get any, it was the pressure between strongest and weakest and took it the wrong way. He wanted to be the best, and wanted to constantly prove it. To the point where he bullied his childhood best friend because hus other friends got a positive reinforcement to it(notice in the younger flashbacks, bakugo starts mistreating deku when he has other kids at his back) and it slowly morphed into a habit for him. It's a case,in my understanding, of unlearning violence. Bakugo learned more about deku, and about his own faults. He blamed himself for hurting his hero, he felt awful having to be saved by deku instead of the other way around. And after he finally broke down and told deku everything, that he blames himself, he shifts. He is still gruff and almost rude to deku, but there is now nee context, new mind sets. Bakugo doesn't see deku as a weakling that needs to be belittled, he sees a tough rival who needs some pointers.

There's a bad vibe when they're all walking up. So, almost without a word, Bakugo grabs Kaminari and pulls him around the corner. We see some explosions go off and dumb Kaminari rounds the corner, which lightens the mood and gets everyone to laugh. Without a word, he was incredibly considerate and just tried to raise their spirits.

[@channie1234]

The 'Afraid of attachment' is 100% right. Bakugo is scared of letting Deku in because of his self sacrificial nature. You imagine caring about someone knowing they could get themselves killed at any moment. The manga literally confirms that thought.

I thought that it was stupid to have him revert back to his old self after he received character development. I think they should have done the exact same thing with Deku vs Todoroki. But then, have Todoroki squash Bakugo in the finals. Todoroki wins the tournament, but, tells Endeavor that he did it for himself, not for his him. Bakugo gets a reality check that he's not as good as he thinks he is. And Deku still sparks a friendship with Todoroki since he helped him realize that his power is his own.
