[@TrueHavoc13]

Bakugo is a complicated character. He has a massive overwhelming inferiority complex and poor self esteem. In his head he needs to be indisputably the best or else he has no self worth. When he makes mistakes he's as hard on himself or even harder than deku. And since he needs to be the best it means any offer of help or assistance is someone implying that he's weak. His entire self worth is based on winning on his own, and anything that threatens that scares him and infuriates him. A lot of his angry personality is just talk he subconsciously uses to keep people from wanting to help him.

[@rainofkhandaq6678]

He wasn't gifted the best quirk ever (but still a good one), like the his two competition in class-1A. He's better in everyway besides that. Smarter, faster, better fighter. Midoriya's a cheater, was given an OP quirk. Todoroki's quirk was basically made to be that good, and he gets to skate by on it regardless of his lack of actual skills. I'd be mad all of the time too.

You do realize it was partly Dekus fault as well. He admires all might to a point where he underestimates everyone including himself. He wasn’t willing to listen to bakugo either but already chose to run away. Bakugo knew there was no way they could avoid fighting. But his fault was he got too cocky. They both realized their faults and ended up fixing it so that they could pass the gate.

[@uzair7387]

That's true abt deku but if bakugou had tried talking to him from the beginning they would have had a better start. Deku was more willing to cooperate than bakugou

[@mjm3091]

It was mostly Deku's fault - in dub you don't get much of it, but in original version Bakugo is hella analitical in this fight, where Deku from the start is rambling about not important stuff. If you for a moment take away the fact that Deku is main protagonist - his logic is extremely invalid, which pissed Bakugo even more, especially after they already once fought against All Might - and they did agree on a plan without unnecessary talking then. There is no need for planning against All Might - especially when you don't know full amount of power he will be using against you. Other than being hella annoyed by the useless Deku - most fault lays on Midoriya in this one.

[@mjm3091]

@@uzair7387 He didn't try cooperate really - he knows Bakugo's ways, and have massive knowledge on heroes. Instead of "trying" to ramble about nonsense he should have been spilling all the useful facts about All Might. Especially ones that Deku learned through last few weeks. He should know that Bakugo won't run away in the first time possible, cause that's not what assigment was about. He was blinded by his own emotions. Which is extremely ironic - when previously it was Bakugo who was taken over by his own anger. Deku is too scared to act and Bakugo won't hear about bs like that. Not from Deku, who on so many occasions jumped into danger and he now chickens out even before whole exams starts? Pay attention to the episode - Bakugo heared Deku's words, and didn't have time for bs.

[@johndinner4418]

@@mjm3091 No way, Bakugo openly said he'd rather lose than team up until Midoriya punched him into reason. Bakugo has this tendency of being blind by anger for a small thing that affects more than he thinks then being more angry after he realizes it. The clear example is his start line episode. This is one thing that develops through the series. The main problem was communication and Bakugo was not willing to have it, so the main fault lies on him if anything. It doesn't matter if Deku's logic was illogical, that's something that got fixed with a single line midbattle.

[@SylviiTea]

It's important to understand Bakugos character.. We saw that Bakugo has admired and looked up to All might since he was a child, but for different reasons then Deku. Kacchan admires All Might's power and the fact that he is 'always the winner'. So as he grew up, Kacchans view of the "best" hero shaped his perspective of what kind of hero he wanted to be. He was admired and praised all his life by his friends (including Deku) because he had a powerful quirk and he never lost.. In his mind, All Might never needed any help against villains so he doesn't want help because he wants to prove that he is strong enough on his own... so, Deku tries to help Bakugo all the time since they were kids. Bakugo wants to prove that he doesnt need help which is why he gets pissed at Deku. But Deku keeps trying and wants to be around Bakugo because he admires the hell out of him. Their relationship is complicated but it's not completely toxic. They are more alike then they realize and the show develops their characters and their relationship beautifully.

[@mjm3091]

Deku didn't want talk either - he had from the start decided they should just run for their lifes. Rambling about shiet isn't any kind of strategising. On top of that they both know each other - Bakugo literally knew Deku's plan previously in the OVA (which was canonical part of the manga), so him assuming that he doesn't know what Deku wants is stupid. Especially when it was an assigment and Bakugo at least tried to check whole situation before he even started strategising. Cause with All Might you literally can't strategise, especially if you don't know the level of strength he will be using against you. Bakugo genuinely was furious about how much Midoriya was paralised.

[@Wat3rDragon]

@@mjm3091 dont even try to stick up for Bakugo lol. Bakugo is allowed to hate Dekus plan but jesus TALK it out. I found this episode infuriating to watch. Yes Deku isnt perfect and how he views all might put him in a difficult position this fight, but the way everyone was referring to their problems like it was both of them.. no just no. This was 90% a problem with Bakugos attitude 10% Deku nothing less. Deku LITERALLY was trying to talk and Bakugo punched him. He is an idiot. Yes Deku was stubborn and shouldnt have disregarded fighting but working with someone like Bakugo is impossible he doesnt know what teamwork and cooperation are or how to communicate with people..

[@padymz4149]

@@Wat3rDragon not on either side, just laying out some facts: its not impossible to work with Bakugo and he does know what teamwork/cooperation is. He also has a communication style that's direct vs. Midoriya's which is more detail oriented. Those two types of communication styles will always have a more difficult time seeing eye to eye (this applies to real life communication styles as well (see DISC assessment/personalities)). With that said, Bakugo worked in a team just fine at the UA Sports Festival during the cavalry battle. He had a team full of people who had a similar communication style. He cooperated with Kirishima perfectly fine a few times during the attack on the USJ (once at the beginning and once when they all got separated from what I can remember so far). This situation is neither of their's fault but more just clashing personalities and communication styles. Also, you gotta be honest with yourself - Midoriya could've been perceived as forcing his own beliefs and plans onto Bakugo expecting him to follow him, just the same way you could say about Bakugo doing it to Midoriya. But that's the vibe I got from Midoriya when I first watched that scene. Bakugo definitely has shit to work on but its not "90% bakugo 10% midoriya".

[@KellyJoule]

One of my favorite moments in the whole anime is how, at first, Deku apologizes and frowns to All Might when using Bakugo's Gauntlet to attack him. Then when he finally puts his faith more in Bakugo and not his idol, he runs up with a smile on his face saying "please get out of the way all might" and punches the shit out of him. People always say Bakugo was the only one wrong in this team up, but Bakugo was absolutely right about at least one thing. Deku was too focused on the plan of running away to realize that it wasn't even a viable option, because All Might would always be faster. They needed to fight in ORDER to run away. They needed BOTH strategies to make it work, and they did!

[@unnirajac8617]

Deku didn’t think about it in the first place because Bakugo was not cooperative. If Bakugo had just said that I will come up with a strategy for an escape you don’t have to teach me Deku would have listened to him because he respects him even though he is a dick.

[@venomwhite2618]

Some Bakugo stuff: 1. He always wants to win because that is his definition of a hero, someone who will stand victorious in the end no matter how bad the situation is. That is also why he looks up to All Might. 2. He "hates" Midoriya because Midoriya was his definition of a loser, he had no quirk, no skill, no talent, pretty much the opposite of what he believes a hero needs to be. That was his truth for many years. But now, Midoriya suddenly stands in the same arena as him and he can't accept this sudden change, so he is desperatly trying to prove that he is better than him.

It's true that Deku fully represent the 'romantize' version of what a hero is, but if we're to be practical and consider a universe/world where 'Hero' is a legitimate profession, then 'result' is what matter just like in any profession.

I think this episode exemplifies the best and worst of All Might as a teacher. He knew how to exploit Deku and Bakugou's weaknesses with teamwork and tried his best to literally beat this lesson into them.... but he also completely lost sight of the fact that this was a test, not an actual fight. If you compare to the other exit exams of Class 1A, none of the other student took even half the damage that Deku and Bakugou sustained. He took "Plus Ultra" to it's absolute extreme. It didn't cross his mind, the consequences of going as hard as he did and the result is honestly very brutal. My theory is that he wanted to revel in the power of One For All before it completely left his body, at this point in the series. Recovery Girl said it best when she warned him that Deku's spine and Bakugous body were almost permanently damaged had he gone any harder.... and then remember that All Might lamented he wasn't at his full power because of the weights he was wearing. Some may disagree, but that's my thought on this fight in particular. P.S- If you guys in the comments don't believe that All Might is a terrible teacher, watch the first anime OVA's, where he dresses up as a villain and attacks Class 1A at the USJ to show that villains can strike at any time....a month after the USJ attack, with everyone still reeling from that experience.

[@TimoKanal]

I disagree with All Might being a terrible teacher. Not sure how much canon the OVA's are so I'll leave that out of judgment right now. But I would argue that getting so rough, especially with Bakugo, was very important for him to realize he isn't the best and is definitely not able to beat All Might alone. And I can say for certain that All Might held back A LOT. Like, if on any of his smashes or throws wasn't completely held back, their bodies and heads would be literally non-existent anymore. So yes, All Might may have overdone it a little bit (especially with Midoriya) but overall it was a great lesson for both of them - especially since the damage wasn't permanent. And also in many other aspects of his teaching, I think that it's rather subjective if he's being a good or bad teacher. There are certainly many good aspects to his teaching too - and he's improving. Overall I just don't get the massive hate All Might gets in the aspect of being a teacher.

[@jbriggs06]

Well you also have to remember his training with Gran Torino was literally him getting beat up...

[@sharathsh9987]

Why go into the OVAs? I remember All Might reading a book that's called something along the lines of "Teaching for Dummies." He's a hero first, and a teacher second. Unlike Aizawa or Gran Torino, who have been doing both at the same time. I think your theory about him wanting to revel in the power of One For All is a bit of a stretch though. It was never about the power or the position One For All offered, but instead the responsibility that came with it.

[@darkflame728]

I'd say he went all out because he knows just what dangers await those two in particular. They needed an almost unstoppable force just to make them work together and the next Big Bad isn't gonna stop at a broken bone.

[@gabrielcarrasco8414]

I doubt he wanted to revel in the power of One for All. He's not super concerned with losing the power, just concerned what happens when he loses it and villains start to rise and him being powerless. He did take it a bit too far, but he was still holding back considerably. He could have killed both of them if he didn't hold back. But both Deku and Bakugo rely on physical quirks and close combat, so it's pretty much shown that they would take damage regardless. Two, All Might needed to show both how to defeat an enemy who was clearly more powerful than both of them. Bakugo believes he's the strongest and he can defeat anyone, but he simply can't do it on his own everytime. Deku didn't want to fight All Might at all, and he forced Deku to do so if he wanted to win.

[@Takerz13]

Deku needs to learn to put himself first when it comes to fighting sometimes. Alternatively bakugo needs to learn to save and protect others more compassionately. They need to learn from eachother.

I digress. She had found it in the first half with our godly ship: Tododeku but lost her way to the vitriol that is Bakudeku; a fantasised tormentor/tormentee relationship. I will happily have a debate on people who could possibly say Bakudeku is in any way a good relationship. Relationship, not fan service. Aesthetic doesn’t matter, functional interaction and ability to actually communicate and comfort each other do.

This episode is where Bakugo realizes how good Deku is. But Bakugo has so much to learn. You can be the strongest solo hero. The nurse said something that we don't do anymore. We don't push our kids enough at times. Not to this level. But we keep thinking to let our kids choose. But til they do we should be pushing our kids to learn and be stronger, faster, smarter til they pick something.

[@FlubbedPig]

Something very important, this was not their final exams for the year, this was for the end of the TERM. The Japanese school year starts in Spring and ends in Winter, rather than starting in Fall and ending in Summer like the US and Canada do.

[@unnirajac8617]

Everyone defending Bakugo by saying that Deku should be blamed because he thought of running away instead of fighting All might just remember that if Bakugo was cooperative from the beginning and lay out his plan to win this test Deku would have listened. He really don’t know how to communicate with this monster because he always shout at him beats him whenever he approaches. You cannot blame for that. Deku is a nice person. He may not be the best character but he is written as a guy with a great heart. Don’t defend toxic character traits of people like Bakugo. Even though its an anime if you come across people like Bakugo you will understand how painful it is to be a Deku in real life. Bullying is a crime no matter the circumstances.

He was pissed when he saw how Deku was progressing so fast, but he is changing and growing.....Horikoshi-sensei really KNOWS how to write his characters and the story.... I can't wait to know how this show is going to go foward....

[@yugoxgc]

Bakugou isn't dumb or Evil. All of his character comes down to is an overblown ego. He was always told by ppl around him (teachers or other kids) that he is the best & he always wanted to be the best on his own. He comes to UA gets hit by reality. He isn't the best, can't always win & will need help. Complete opposite to what the world's taught him before. A massive buit up ego also would make it hard to accept & get over/ deal with that

[@Yoruhana]

It's not Year 2, the Japanese school year begins in April so summer for them is only halfway through the year. They just finished the first semester of three is all. Their summer vacation is also a lot shorter then we'd see in America. The time between first semester and is second is around 40 day (just over a month), and the time after second and third is about 10 days. As opposed to America's just over two months. There are also various other holidays we don't celebrate like Golden Week which is at the end of April and cultural festivals with usually fall in November (though not always). So you can usually use those things to pin down roughly what time of year something is in an anime.

IKR my biggest problem with that is how everyone always hates on Bakugou for only caring to fight the Villains instead of saving the people but he literally CAN'T save. If you look at his quirk how the hell is he supposed to carry injured people or so quickly from an attack? HE CAN'T his explosions aka the way he maneuvers are in his hands which stops him from being able to carry the people to safety so yeah for him the only way tho save people is to defeat the villain (thank you for reading this rant, I'm sorry for faulty grammar & spelling mistakes, have a nice day)

[@kamronspencer4910]

Bakugou actually Hates midoriya becuase he genuinely believes midoriya looks down on him. Because of the way he grew up not needing help or getting it offered because he’s so good at everything he genuinely believes that someone offering to help you means they think their better than you. That’s why he gets so mad whenever midoriya tries to help him

[@chrisschoenthaler5184]

Bakugo’s idea of an ideal hero is someone who can accomplish anything by themselves. Someone who “always wins in the end.” The word “help” is like an insult to Bakugo. In his mind, someone offering to help him carries the implication that they are looking down on him. They think they can do something he can’t, which means he isn’t reaching his ideals. Everyone around Bakugo held him on a pedestal as a sort of prodigy when he was a kid, so he believed that he was amazing. When Bakugo fell into the river as a kid, and Midoriya was worried, it showed Bakugo that Deku didn’t see him as someone who could handle everything himself. The quirkless boy with no noteworthy skills was looking down on him. That experience damaged Bakugo’s self-identity. Everyone else treated him as an amazing person who would become the next great hero like All Might. Someone who always wins in the end. Someone who never needs help. So why did Deku reach out to him when he fell? Why was this kid worried? He was fine! That’s why Bakugo and Midoriya can’t get along. One feels a constant need to help others, while the other feels the need to do everything himself.
