Bakugo is loved by viewers for his intense personality, short temper, and unmatched facial expressions. My Hero Academia has provided a well of meme formats since its beginning, and Bakugo has been the subject of many fan favorites.
10 Bakugo Shows No Mercy
Bakugo has very little patience for most things. This photoshop masterpiece taken from his clash with Shoto Todoroki in the U.A. Sports Festival is the perfect depiction of that.
In quite possibly the greatest cross-over episode of all time, Kermit the Frog would not stand a chance against the deadly dynamite fists of Bakugo. Unless, how much prep time does Kermit get?
9 Bakugo and Gordon Ramsay
Gordon Ramsay is one of the most frightening individuals to ever enter a kitchen. He is also, like Bakugo, a meme goldmine. It was inevitable that the two would one day join forces. Bakugo even shares Gordon Ramsay's love of putdowns, often questioning the intelligence of his classmates.
Tokoyami is UA's resident bird person, and he is very much alive. Tokoyami and raw chicken do have other similarities. For instance, they both have the potential to become very deadly.
8 Bakugo's Chosen Hero Name
In the episode "Time To Pick Some Names" (season 2 episode 13) class 1-A gets to choose their hero names. Creators of the show saved Bakugo's hero name from the episode, and it was later revealed in the manga. Most of the students have clever names that are a combination of their quirk and personality.

Kirishima chooses the name Red Riot, Uraka calls herself Uravity, due to her gravity manipulating quirk. Bakugo opts for Lord Explosion Murder, but after criticism from his classmates, he decides to change it. In the manga, Bakugo finally reveals his hero name to be Great Explosion Murder God Dynamite.
7 Bakugo Goes Boom
Bakugo's quirk is literally called Explosion. It allows him to secrete nitroglycerin from his palms and ignite it on command, leading to controlled, powerful explosions. Even the strongest villains are unable to withstand Bakugo's booms.

Bakugo strongly believes that anything can be solved by blowing stuff up. He threatens to blow up his classmates all the time, especially Deku. Bakugo is the first to jump into a fight, and this frequently gets him into trouble.
6 Bakugo's Incredibly Short Temper
Bakugo and Deku's intense rivalry stems from Bakugo having a bit of an inferiority complex. At the beginning of the first season, Bakugo doesn't understand Deku's sudden change in power. After Deku explains that he has inherited One For All from All Might, Bakugo changes.
He becomes obsessed with not letting Deku surpass him in strength. His jealousy of Deku for receiving such a powerful quirk begins to grow. This leads to Bakugo being incredibly annoyed by almost everything Deku does.
5 Bakugo's Infamous Facial Expressions
Bakugo's face has stretched and warped into a lot of different expressions over the years. While most of the time his face is locked in a scowl, he sometimes expresses a sense of general confusion, as seen above.
Still, some of Bakugo's greatest expressions come from his overwhelmingly present anger issues. When Bakugo screams, his face and head warp to inhuman proportions, and fans everywhere rejoice.
4 Bakugo And Deku's Relationship
Rivalry aside, Bakugo and Deku are still childhood friends. They grew up together, and while they were often at odds, many of their character traits overlap.

They both grew up idolizing All Might and dreaming of one day becoming the world's greatest hero. This desire to become great heroes has linked them together, and while they both take different approaches, they always end up on the same side in the end.
3 How Bakugo Is Drawn
The animators behind My Hero Academia do a stellar job. They allow viewers to be able to know exactly what a character is feeling just by looking at them, especially Bakugo.
Bakugo is either yelling someone's head off or completely silent. These two extremes require very different designs. When Bakugo is calm, his face is smooth and his eyes are slightly sunken. In anger, however, Bakugo's face tightens, veins appear, and his eyes seemingly begin to bulge out of his skull. In these moments, he truly looks like his only wish is for destruction and violence.
2 Should I Bakustay Or Should I Bakugo?
Puns and memes are bonded forever. Not even Bakugo is safe from their combined satirical powers. This meme attacks Bakugo's sensitive side, which does exist.
Bakugo has a massive chip on his shoulder. From intense pressure from his mother to become stronger, and the fear of being beaten by his childhood friend, Great Explosion Murder God Dynamite has a lot on his mind.
1 Bakugo Photo Bombs Everything
Bakugo, despite his great strength and fearless behavior, is a bit of a dork. This can be seen in just about every group photo he appears in. Bakugo is either visibly annoyed with those around him or struggling to hold a forced smile.
Although, while these smiles may seem disingenuous, they do reflect his desire to make his friends happy. As the show progresses, viewers begin to see a softer side of Bakugo. He becomes very protective of the other students in class 1-A. He defends them from verbal bashings from the other classes, he participates in their activities (reluctantly), and he even tries his best to smile for the camera, most of the time.
