Downtown Khazan: Ice Cold Utopia

Bakugo is not among my favourite characters in the show. But I do like him as a character and I appreciate how well written he is throughout the series. This video does a good job of explaining the nuances of Bakugo's personality and development.

As a fan of Alan Dean Foster's Spellsinger novels, I approve of this psycho otter stealing the crown.

of course, you do. you didn't have to deal with the friggin' murder otter.

Question for the old school Anime fans in the thread: On another thread, I made a thread for creating hypothetical Smash Rosters without company limits, and I'm curious as to who would qualify as for a anime themed version of Smash 64

In other words: If you were to pick out the most iconic anime characters of the year 1999, who would they be?

Haha, I used to do whole write-ups for Smash-style rosters, including an anime one.

Off the top of my head, I included:

Vash the Stampede (Trigun)
Gene Starwind (Outlaw Star)
Spike Speigel (Cowboy Bebop)
Fuu, Umi, and Hikaru (Magic Knight Rayearth)
Sakura (Card Captor Sakura)
Utena Tenjou (Revolutionary Girl Utena)

I guess you'd have to include some Dragonball, Sailor Moon, and Gundam characters in there. Maybe throw in some Ranma and Yu Yu Hakusho.

Hmm, currently I'm thinking something like

1. Astro Boy
2. Son Goku
3. Doraemon
4. Kenshiro
5. Lupin III
6. Mazinger Z
7. RX-78 Gundam
8. Captain Harlock
9. Voltron
10. Sailor Moon
11. Tsubasa Ozora
12. Tetsuo

A Smash game would probably try to go for the Icon value. Spike spiegal was more of a hit in the west anyway, so he'd likely get saved for a sequel

Bringing this back up to Ask a question: Would anyone mind if I made a thread to discuss this question in the Rumbles section

that frame rate is distracting but I still like the looks of it

After this video, my views on Bakugou have... not changed one bit.

Still waiting for someone(preferably Deku or Todoroki) to decisively kick his ass.

EDIT: By the way, comparing Bakugou to Naruto? Like, seriously?

Fair enough.

I find that the different fan reactions to Bakugo is part of the fun and interesting aspect of his character, as long as everybody can keep it civil.

Maybe in the next sports tournament. I wonder if Horikoshi will do another tournament arc, or if he'd just gloss over it as part of a timeskip.

EDIT: On second thought, his team might get their asses kicked in the current arc too.

EDIT: By the way, comparing Bakugou to Naruto? Like, seriously?

I can see it.

Bakugo is in many ways a typical shounen protagonist with a really, really bad attitude.

But that's exactly what makes a typical shonen protagonist. If you are an *******, then you most certainly are nothing like a typical shonen protagonist.

I forgot to add a "but" there. My bad.

Bakugo is a typical shounen protagonist but with a really, really bad attitude.

He's got the ambitions and drive of shounen protag, a raw magnetism that drew in Deku and Kirishima to associate with him and lots of natural talent that's polished with tons of hard work. He's just got anger issues, zero people skills and the work to get his head out of his ass is an ongoing project.

Besides, Naruto, Yusuke, Goku, Ranma and Ryuko are all shounen protags that are varying degrees of assholes at different points in their lives.

You’ve made some excellent points. Another thing to point out is that he’s chilled out a lot. He was outright psychotic at one point.

The problem is that it's a very big 'BUT'. So big that it makes the whole comparison pointless. Not to mention that Naruto, for the big chunk of the series, was an underdog shunned by almost everyone. Whereas Bakugo is the exact opposite. And when did Naruto ever got a decisive win against Sasuke like Bakugo did against Deku few episodes ago?

This comparison makes no sense.
