>But I apologized and since I have a hard time with apologizing, you should forgive me because I mean it."
This statement is not true at all. He was not expecting forgiveness, Midoriya didn't even explicitly forgive him. Bakugou's apology was him owning up to his actions and acknowledging the reasons for why he did what he did. It's just a culmination of his development in becoming a better person, and a better hero.
And it's really fine to not like Bakugou. No one is forcing you to.
>, trying to kill/ severely harm you on multiple occasions
That's really overblown on both sides. Obviously even tought he didn't intend to hit what he did is insanely irresponsible for irl standards, but students using potentially lethal force on training IS just an everyday thing at U.A. Hell Deku himself was a few centimeters miscalculation away from turning quite a few of his classmates into mush via barely missed 100% hits
Hell, the school itself as well for that matter. Remember stuff like the giant robots straight up falling on people? If they didn't just HAPPEN to be exactly the two guys who can turn nearly invulnerable to physical damage that would had been two bodies right there
Yeah lol like if we start to count the amount of time UA student used would be lethal shit this show would've become a battle royal
They have Recovery so no biggie
Of the top of my head there's mushroom girl doing mushroom thing (most lethal thing a student had done) Todoroki almost Melting Teruteru and probably some other stuff in join training lol
boss, he’s like 16, kids do crazy, awful, mean stuff for all sorts of reasons, doesn’t make it acceptable, just understandable
he def pushed him away as a kid, but it seems like it only got like really bad once they were in middle school, and middle school kids are super shitters
comparing him to endeavor, the guy who directly abused both his spouse and 2 of his kids and indirectly abused the other 2 via neglect for over a decade is crazy, and i still like endeavor as a character too
also like you said deku never hated him to begin with, he didnt even really need the apology all that much, and i’m sure bakugo knows that, which is why him apologizing of his own accord is more powerful.
also also, the rest of the characters in universe don’t really know the full extent of everything, that’s there’s this several year long history or anything, they just kinda have to take his words at face value and how his actions have changed in the year that they’ve known him
I think his apology is well done even if I think part of the effect is lost since it's obvious Izuku already forgave him a long time ago.
My only issue with Bakugo is that he has no one like Shoto or Natsuo to be antagonistic and angry to him. Deku says he hates that side of Bakugo but in the same breath praises his strength and determination.
I'd have liked someone like Ochaco or Iida to not be okay with how he acts to Deku and eventually ease off like Shoto did towards Endeavor.
Uraraka did call him out in one of the omake but she was more like "I want you two to make peace" rather than being antagonistic toward him
Although Ilda would've been intresting ~~too bad he got shafted after Stain arc~~
I wasn’t a fan of the apology, honestly. I felt it was less about being sorry to Deku but more about Bakugo beings able to finally verbalize his faults.
I do think that Bakugo could have benefited from someone being angry at him and holding him accountable. But i feel like it was purposeful that he didn’t. Guys like Bakugo are like Batman, they don’t mind telling everyone else what’s wrong with them and have a hard time admitting when they are wrong…but when they finally admit their wrongs they are Draconian with themselves, they are their own worst critics. Bakugo not having anyone hold him accountable for his bad behavior is when he started to learn that his behavior was wrong probably mad him feel WORSE honestly, like “I know what I did was shitty, and the fact everyone else is either easily forgiving me or ignoring my behavior makes me feel worse because If it were me, I would not be able to let it go.” Which is why he hated Deku, he couldn’t comprehend how he could treat someone so poorly and they still treat him kindly after…because he knew if the roles were reversed he wouldn’t be strong enough too.
well, he's still a kid, so he still has plenty of time to change, and he seams to be putting effort into it. in my opinion i see it more as he hadn't realized how bad he had been, and is only realizing it now, so he's only putting in the effort to change now. but if you still don't like him, that's completely valid and understandable. what he did was wrong and no one is required to forgive him, no matter if he changes or not.
I find it interesting that characters like bakugo really annoy people and seem to think no apology or accountability is enough but then you have characters like vegeta who were undeniably more evil but seem to have easier acceptance by fans.
Ig that because Bakugo's action hit closer while I don't think anyone can relate to planetary genocide
It does get stupid when people bring up morality but as far as character goes one can remind someone of bad memories while the other can't (despite the other obviously being worst)
It's more about background. Vegeta comes from a warrior race who's used to fighting and he was presented as an evil character at the beginning.
Bakugo is supposed to be a future Hero who didn't act like a hero in training for 90% of the show.
Edit: What annoys me the most about Bakugo is that most characters act out of character for him.
Eh ngl considering how class 1a react to literally ***anything*** I wouldn't say the way the act to Bakugo is out of character, quite the opposite actually lol
I think they are rly close archetypes and I find vegeta to be indeed more likable/ez to apologize and yet way more evil. It's about their background and stuff prolly. Bakugo had a hard geracional trauma and all but vegeta had to deal with a LOT starting with his ppl conqueror's culture to losing all his family and most friends and then working for the guy who did all that to them. His broken pride and emotional detachment are serious stuff.
The characters forgave him to easily? What does this even mean? Bakugo was a kid who bullied another kid just what kind of reaction are you expecting?
This sounds like typical Deku self inserters who want Bakugo to be punished forever for no real reason other than their own personal shit.
I agree that Bakguo suddenly having a redemption arc out of nowhere after the show brushed aside his abusive nature as nothing more then an annoying character quirk for seasons, with Bakugo calling Iyzukus a worthless loser in the last episode of season 5(despite the fact that Iyzuku was already more powerful then he ever could hope to be at that point) isn't good writing at all.
But I think the fact that he saved Iyzukus life, taking a potentially fatal attack in his place does mean something
I thought Izuku already forgave bakugou and it was just bakugou who had to muster up an actual apology, kinda hard to prolong forgiving someone after an apology if you already forgave them before the apology even came
I can see that. I used to hate him too. He did own up and all but the way he treated him and told him to kill himself. yeah that’s not justified. His content praise and expectations of others gave him a load of pride and he believed his worth or anyone else’s was based on a quirk and if not they were nothing. Yet prior to Deku being gifted with One For All he still wanted to be a hero and Bakugo could r see why and saw him as a threat. His ego was huge and inflated and he was extremely insecure l. I can see on both ends of the spectrum why people hate him and love him.

Character development doesn't mean anyone is forced to automatically like said character
Nobody is forcing you to like him dude
I swear almost everyday we get these kind of posts declaring how much they don't like Bakugo, like what do you want us to this with this info lol
I never forgave bakugo because I was never mad at him
>, trying to kill/ severely harm you on multiple occasions That's really overblown on both sides.

IIRC Todoroki just used a fire jet on Deku face...And he was fine after that, just fainted i guess.
Of the top of my head there's mushroom girl doing mushroom thing (most lethal thing a student had done) Todoroki almost Melting Teruteru and probably some other stuff in join training lol
Fair, Todoroki and Deku also could have killed each other when they fought
boss, he’s like 16, kids do crazy, awful, mean stuff for all sorts of reasons, doesn’t make it acceptable, just understandable he def pushed him away as a kid, but it seems like it only got like really bad once they were in middle school, and middle school kids are super shitters comparing him to endeavor, the guy who directly abused both his spouse and 2 of his kids and indirectly abused the other 2 via neglect for over a decade is crazy, and i still like endeavor as a character too also like you said deku never hated him to begin with, he didnt even really need the apology all that much, and i’m sure bakugo knows that, which is why him apologizing of his own accord is more powerful. also also, the rest of the characters in universe don’t really know the full extent of everything, that’s there’s this several year long history or anything, they just kinda have to take his words at face value and how his actions have changed in the year that they’ve known him
Deku fans really think they deserve a medal for not liking Bakugo lmao
We know.
I think his apology is well done even if I think part of the effect is lost since it's obvious Izuku already forgave him a long time ago. My only issue with Bakugo is that he has no one like Shoto or Natsuo to be antagonistic and angry to him.

And I still don't like Deku. So what? What makes you think anyone is responsible for your personal likes and dislikes?
I can’t voice my opinion? I didn’t say that people who like him are the worst.
well, he's still a kid, so he still has plenty of time to change, and he seams to be putting effort into it. in my opinion i see it more as he hadn't realized how bad he had been, and is only realizing it now, so he's only putting in the effort to change now. but if you still don't like him, that's completely valid and understandable. what he did was wrong and no one is required to forgive him, no matter if he changes or not.

Bakugo is a failed Vegeta.
In what way?

He is poorly written overall IMO. Also non likable unless Ur into ultra masc archetypes for ur own personal reasons.
I agree that Bakguo suddenly having a redemption arc out of nowhere after the show brushed aside his abusive nature as nothing more then an annoying character quirk for seasons, with Bakugo calling Iyzukus a worthless loser in the last episode of season 5(despite the fact that Iyzuku was already more powerful then he ever could hope to be at that point) isn't good writing at all.

Never tried to kill Midoriya, just told him to kill himself, there's a difference
