Where all is this being hosted? I know it's on Hulu, but you need a subscription to see it right now. Is that the only place that's (legitimately) hosting it?

Also, All Might's quirk is One for All.

Funimation, I think.

Whats his power

Manga spoilers, but not very important ones:

It's fabric control. As in, he can manipulate and reshape clothing, with denim being particularly easy.

Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V is at just over a hundred episodes and counting, and Pokemon is pretty eternal as well. Dragonball Super may count, too, even if it's relatively young.

I know that his character is "underdog" but it kind of shatters my immersion when Izuku's blowing out of his arse at minor physical exertion when all the other kids are perfectly fine when it's a plot point that he was training constantly and hard for a good 9 months under All Might.


The episode is really good though and Deku's mom is precious.

They explained that in this episode. His index finger was part bone chips, part sausage-meat, and 100% pain. That's going to throw anyone off their game. He was doing pretty well before the ball throw.

Ka-chan's dad must have beaten the crap out of him.

To be honest, everything about him implies the opposite - he's a genius with a ridiculously powerful quirk who's always been treated like the king of the world, and can't handle that situation getting disrupted. That's especially why Deku pisses him off - while his fellow students at UA are highly-performing elites who he can expect to give him a challenge (although he'll always come in first place because he's Bakugou Katsuki), Deku, the quirkless nobody, trying to rise above his station is deeply irritating, and him actually managing to do it and coming close to Bakugou's lead is just existentially terrifying. It implies that he might not be so much of a chosen one after all.

I'm not really sure if "he's really spoiled" is sufficient to explain Bakugo's apparently limitless flow of rage.

'Superhero', in this setting, is the only job that allows unlimited quirk use. Basically, the job description is 'use your superpower to make the world a better place'. Bakugou's quirk is very powerful, so he and everyone else around him see being a superhero as the best possible use of his talents (it being an incredibly glamorous, elite job doesn't hurt, either). His quirk is also exclusively destructive - he's basically a living weapon. Therefore, he sees being a superhero, his destined role, as being a celebrated purveyor of state-sanctioned violence. In other words, responding to everything with howling berserker rage isn't just a result of a lack of boundaries. It's because he's been (probably accidentally) taught that his rage, his capacity for violence, is the greatest contribution he has to offer to society, and because everyone around him was so impressed with his potential that they forgot to teach him to only point it in the right direction.

It's important to remember that there's a clear dividing line between UA and the rest of the world. Until he joined, Bakugou was basically a child-god, and treated accordingly. Now he's just one of dozens of very talented students, he's got a worse attitude than pretty much any of them, and neither his classmates nor his teachers are especially prepared to put up with his poo poo. Remember that All Might didn't keep the fight going for Bakugou. He did it for Midoriya.

I'm not sure even Japan can air a show fronted by a completely naked except for her gloves and shoes High School girl.
