Also still liking how at Yuuhei Bakugou is only vaguely impressive despite his quirk due to his lovely attitude, where Midoriya seems to have the respect of his entire class because he's humble and nice despite being very obviously one of the most powerful kids in the class. If this was any other shounen he'd still be the picked on nerdo and somehow no one would believe he had super powers.

I don't know how you can see Bakugou, read him cursing up a storm, and think "No that doesn't fit at all." Kid is like the angriest fictional character I've ever seen.

It doesn't really bother me as much as say, the random cursing in One Piece scans does, because it's Bakugou and because that fits him. But of course it's not gonna be in the official translation.

Man, thinking about it, Copy's a huge double-edged sword in this setting. Many quirks have pretty big limitations or drawbacks that the users themselves are familiar with, but someone with Copy may not know them instinctively. Sure, some quirks are pretty straightforward in their use, or simply toggle between on and off, but something like Deku's quirk could kill him if he doesn't know that you can't push it.

He can, I think, only use one power at a time, but he's surrounded by so many quirks right now that he can discard and draw in quick succession. Which also means that in say, a one on one fight, he might actually be at more of a disadvantage, since the opponent could run down the clock until he can no lonfer match them.

Having him learn to reign in his anger a bit and when to let things go, while he stays kind of an angry rear end in a top hat in general would be far more enjoyable. Also, I'm pretty sure All Might tasked Deku with winning every stage to announce himself to the world, not just winning overall, so I can't imagine him losing because Deku's drive (and the mangas in general right now) is not just meeting, but exceeding All Might's expectations and becoming a worthy successor to him. tsob fucked around with this message at 02:31 on Feb 10, 2015 |

The difference between Sasuke and Bakugou is that while they are both assholes, Bakugou hasn't really been rewarded for it. His classmates don't respect him all that much, and in the Heroes vs Villains test, he was punished for being an rear end in a top hat by having it be the reason he failed. I agree that it's for the best if he mellow down eventually, because he needs to realize that he's in the big boy pool now and he's not the hot poo poo he thought he was.

It's certainly an extremely powerful quirk (even if you acknowledge its downsides it still allows him to put up a good fight against almost anyone, especially if he's in a team with other heroes who he can borrow from freely), but I'm not making the connection between it and people mysteriously losing their headbands without noticing.

He hasn't been rewarded for it yet, but if he's to remain relevant for the remainder of the manga (and I think we all want that right now), then it's going to have to start rewarding him eventually. What would be worse would be for the manga to continue to not reward him, while trying to push him as important to both Deku and the events of the story because he'd eventually just become a bad joke going that route. I'm aware a good middle ground would be for the best, but if Bakugou never learned while the story did start rewarding him, even occasionally it would be veering in to that Sasuke territory. Especially if Deku continues to view him as both a friend and rival.

At the beginning Midoriya and Bakugou were both heavily, incredibly representive of their respective shonen tropes, Shy boy protagonist and overconfident brat rival, So I can see the concern over either, though concern over midoriya might be misplaced since its plenty obvious hes not going to stay the same. But Bakugou has already started to slowly break that mold. Hes always going to be an ambitious, egoistic hothead because that is a cornerstone of his personality but the way he interacts with the world and others is definitely going to change. Pre-yuuei Bakugou would definitely not have worked as well as he does now in the horse match. Rigged Death Trap fucked around with this message at 03:01 on Feb 10, 2015 |

Sasuke was never best buds with Naruto though, at least not that I recall - though I never did finish the last 10 or 20 chapters of the manga (gave up after Kakashi got new eyes from a ghost if I recall, should finish it sometime for the sake of it). And if Bakugou is going to be anyone in Dragonball, it'll be Vegeta - eventual acceptance of his relative strength to the main character and all. He's really not all that unique a character, even just confining it to shonen stories.

It's probably the quirk of someone on his team, which he or they can use mostly at will. If he wasn't such a gloating rear end about it he actually would have succeeded in creating maybe the strongest team and outright winning. He seems to be the Bakugou of class B, with everyone else in his class currently wishing he hadn't decided to be so showy about showing up class A.

I'm now all caught up on this, and it is rad. Also anyone hating on Bakugou is dumb. He's every bit as good as the rest of the characters. About the only character who's kind of weak so far is Momo, really. It's not really that she's the fanservice character, because I think that's handled reasonably well and it feels like she owns it well enough, but more that her design is just pretty normal in a series with people like Tsuyu, Bakugou, birdman, ant girl, and Grape. That being said, she hasn't really had any screen time outside of fights, so I'm not too worried, but she doesn't have a personality or look that is really attention grabbing outside of the obvious. It's cool that her training montage was studying, given her quirk, but that's not as funny as ear plug weightlifting, etc. Hopefully she'll become something more than just a generically cool and competent side character. Also Grape is going to lose his poo poo if he ever meets Mt. Lady.

Also I have no problems with the fangroup's translations, since the only one who appears to be cussing with impunity is Bakugou, and I feel like it works given the guy's personality. Also I just love the phrase "I'm mad loving calm." It's beautiful.
