Bakugo feels like an extreme example of the “gifted-kid” complex. He definitely has my favorite character arc throughout the story. Can’t wait for these next several episodes!
I will be 100% honest, Bakugo is my FAVORITE character in MHA as well as in my top 5 favorite anime characters overall! Seeing you catch the small changes in him even in these first few episodes, and expressing concern for a characters mental well-being, that within the same episode you said he seemed more like a villain, just shows the hidden potential he has! You could also use that "burden of greatness" parallel that was used for All Might with Bakugo as well, because it really does also describe how those around him treated him for most of his life so far, which goes towards explaining parts of why he acts the way he does. Much like Kageyama from Haikyuu, who was also touted as great and a genius for the majority of his life, he never had to bother acknowledging or correcting the issues he had, because the things they did well overshadowed that which they didn't. And for both characters, it takes a rather jarring event for them to see that they are not as all powerful as others had lead them to believe, and see someone who they themselves believe is, or will be, stronger than they are to realize that. Where both characters take it from where they currently are, I will not say so as to not spoil, but I am looking forward to the reactions as we all move forward on these journeys.
This is a great way of breaking it down! Thanks so much for explaining it like that. I think he’s a super interesting character and I’m excited to see what happens with him
That’s a great parallel comparison. Two geniuses humbled by the hard work, determination and inner talent of two freaks of nature (in the nicest way possible lol….. Hinata and Izuku….. they may seem normal but they’re monsters imo… in a good way of course) not that Kageyama and Bakugo didn’t work hard too but yeah they’re naturally amazing.
Lachy calling Bakugo Nishinoya caught me so off guard 😂 killed me. I've never seen anyone show so much empathy towards Bakugo this early in the series, actually opened my eyes to a few things that I didn't notice my first time watching it.
Which is why I say that the adults around him are partly to blame for not helping to correct several of his "personality problems" and seriously dropped the ball when it came to their responsibilities of raising him to be a better person. But that also makes him who he is, and he would not be the Bakugo we all know and love if they had been responsible adults. 😂😂😂
Okay so I actually work with kids that have special needs in regards to their social-emotional development and I empathise with Bakogou so hard. He’s an asshole. He’s hotheaded he has incredibly poor impulse control and struggles to have regard for the emotions of everyone but himself (and to express his own emotions in a healthy way). He’s just so filled with anger and rage though, and as far as I can see he has neither received any consequences for his behaviour nor any support to actually deal with his rage. He’s not a monster, he’s 15 and unable to control his impulses. It’s actually a very realistic portrayal of a kid with these issues I’d say, and I think MHA handles his development very well.
I'm like late, but I can't help but wanna comment XD When you pointed out how Bakugo almost seemed hurt that Deku was "hiding his quirk" from him, I was blown away, cause I felt that way too when I first read the manga! Though in my case, the thing that really gave away a hidden depth in their relationship was the fact that Deku called him "Kacchan". During the very first scene, when they were both 4, that nickname was normal. But when I see that it continued even as they became teenagers, not to mention after all the bullying, I went, " *narrowed eyes * ...that's sus" Deku still calls him with that super familiar nickname, and Bakugo LET him. He NEVER ONCE corrected him. It's a super interesting detail that contradicts how his character was portrayed at the time. Even though Bakugo's so prideful to the point of being an asshole, for some reason he doesn't mind at all that the so-called "inferior" Deku, the one he felt is at the absolute bottom of the food chain, calls him with a nickname so childish and cutesy it would be just plain insulting had it come from someone else. It betrayed a complicated sense of closeness between the two and I was like, "I sense character growth!! And possible reconciliation!!" XDD
"After his quirk manifested" is a keyword for understanding bakugo's temper short circuit. Look at ida for example, His quirk is mechanical? He has exhaust pipes in his legs. Thats why he also moves in a mechanical way. And hence his iconic "Air chopping". People would read the entire mha series and still won't get something as important as this. But I'm glad you picked up on that line 🗿
Todoroki is my favorite from Class 1A (with an honorable mention to Kirishima, the guy with red hair). I love these 2 episodes, to me they show that Bakugo isn't just an a-hole, but he is driven. His passion just manifests differently than in his peers (and you can kinda see why later on). No spoilers really but villains do show up later, these first several episodes are kind of a long exposition for the series as a whole. As always I enjoyed this. BTW you are the only content creator I make a point of leaving comments for on every video I watch.
Todoroki is superrr cool already and I really appreciate the Bakugo development already! But more then that I always appreciate you being here to watch and your comments are always fantastic! Have a great rest of your day
I was late for the Haikyuu but early for this!!!! Bakugo is kind of a genius and I love him for that! But I also love someone who is not a genius even more 🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️ Todoroki is also a fav of mine. His power is goated
im with a lot of commenters here that bakugou is one of my favorites! you seemed to see where hes coming from pretty quick, a lot of people dont want to look past how brash he is and it takes a while before they start giving him benefit of the doubt
0:28 nah 2:20 hehe Yeahh they piled on the praise in (almost) all directions a little thick 12:58 "I don't want to lose [only here]" 13:55 yeppp if I aim just slightly off he'll probably be fine 16:18 _thank_ you 21:28 It wasn't from the start, but Katsuki assumes it was (and that all the running around with him and the initial encounter was just, all according to keikaku Aaa I wanna go eat but I don't wanna stop watching 23:52 like a mix of angry, but also made me think like...horrified isn't quite the word (plus the way he looks when Izuku starts talking and the smoke clears so he can see his arm like... not guilty but like...ugh idk 24:25 yes, thank you. Glad that means you'll also take to heart the way he;s about to hecking hyperventilate 25:19 IKR - YES? I'm glad you feel it too 35:40 the _wheeze_ 💔 38:00 ?? WILLY TYBUR?? 43:22 Well, even Izuku was confused, no one had even considered something like that despite talking in forums about it ; idk what the closest analogy is Like I'm slower or this leg doesn't work right, but I finally caught up and surpassed your raw power because...someone gave me their knee? Or their literal muscle power Now I kinda get like... yeah i was inflexible all this time but suddenly I can compete because someone gave me their flexibility, muscles, whatever -- what 43:54 okamato is so fucking good I'm tapping my foot just wanting this to be over but wanting to see youre reaction ughh. Also, I love his voice cracks (at minimum both Katsuki and Noya have it; like the post-Dateko fallout argument 44:00 only in front of Izuku 46:42 reminds me Some mistakenly think Bakugou going home without joining the rest of the class discussion, means he's straight up quitting UA 48:03 :) wait wait wait the post Champion...he'd like that (It's okay, I didnt know Sero for so lont)
I was waiting for your mha reaction ~~ Deku still has a lot to learn in this time~ it’s nice to remember early Bakugo lmao keeps my love for his character humble 😂 can’t wait for more ~
You at Bakugo, who has arguably just tried to kill a classmate, after bullying him for years*: "I don't HATE him, hate is a strong word, but he needs to get better. Also, I hope he's okay." You at Tsukishima, who is annoyingly snarky, and Oikawa, who is annoyingly pretty and good at volleyball:" I hate them and hope they die." 😂 *(Please don't hate me, Bakugo fans, I do really like him as a character)
"Arguably tried to kill a classmate" did you forget he said he will miss and also midoriya nuked the entire building which could have killed all of em 💀.
I know Bakugo was an absolute little shit at this point in the show but it makes me so happy that Lacky cares for him somehow. He always tries to understand every character don't matter their personality ❤
DOUBLE EPISODES ARE THEEE BESST, tho it's understandable that it won't be the case for every MHA reaction, it's difficult to produce double episode reactions especially if you're working alone
alsoo Lachyyy ik you said you won't make a Patreon because you want your content to be accessible for everyone but it would be great if you had other ways for people to support you and the channel. + a place where your viewers can go and discuss and chat with each other would be nice ++ it's refreshing to see someone be more optimistic towards bakugo
Hahaha yes I will always try my best to keep the double episodes coming! And I will have a think about somethings we can do when I get back from China!
Another great reaction! I'm actually seeing Bakugo in a different light thanks to your perspective, as he's honestly been one of my least favorite characters in the show. He's certainly an interesting character, but I did not really understand or have empathy for him in these episodes, seeing his rage as irrational and over-the-top. But your comments about him and his thought process, and how you understand him - while I still don't like him, I think I understand a bit better his mental state. And my favorite character in the show is properly introduced here! Her costume is definitely unnecessarily gratuitous (the treatment of its female characters in general is a weak spot for MHA) but other than that, Momo is hands-down my favorite. She's very smart and insightful, and has a really cool quirk, she can create objects using her body's lipids as long as she knows what it's made of, so it's a super versatile quirk, especially in hero work. Also, even though it was a mistake, I thought it was kinda fitting that you called Iida Lida, he does have some leader-like qualities, like trying to get his classmates to respect school property.
I can definitely understand some of his emotions but also wouldn’t say I like him hahaha, he doesn’t communicate very well. And Momo seems pretty cool so far but I’d be keen to learn more about her for sure
Bakuhoe realizing he isn't the best is such a humbling moment for him! He does come around but dam is he hard to deal with but he's one of my top characters
So now you have met Todoroki, one of the best characters. He's also another from Haikyuu, Kenma from Nekoma. Also listen out for Birdman Tokoyami who shares a va with Asahi.
Can i ask why is the anime volume really low can barely hear it? Also i know you say ''don't want to limit your videos behind paywall'' you could just make the patreon free just a thought. Would be a lot nicer to watch without having the anime logo over anime. Great videos tho
Free patreon means he won't get any benefit. That is money. He gets the TH-cam money here. But if he does free patreon? How will he get compensated for his work? And he is just a single dude💀 let him post in peace

Same here so unexcpected. Like I had to Double Check if I heard that right
(And this is how I always hope people will react, since it's closest to my experience)
just realized they were showing that bakugo grew up with everyone praising him and putting him in a pedestal.. which ended up building his big ego
Which is why I say that the adults around him are partly to blame for not helping to correct several of his "personality problems" and seriously dropped the ball when it came to their responsibilities of raising him to be a better person. But that also makes him who he is, and he would not be the Bakugo we all know and love if they had been responsible adults. 😂😂😂
That is very true! It’s a great way to look at it
people have to give deku more credit as an mc because he is actually really smart.
Okay so I actually work with kids that have special needs in regards to their social-emotional development and I empathise with Bakogou so hard. He’s an asshole. He’s hotheaded he has incredibly poor impulse control and struggles to have regard for the emotions of everyone but himself (and to express his own emotions in a healthy way).

Their dynamic is super interesting and I am eager to see how they develop!
Todoroki’s back story is very sad, and I bet that you’ll love him even more when you finally react to it!
Don’t say that, I don’t want my boy to be sad
I love the voice acting in this anime !
Learning the names took me a lot of time too, so good luck 😂
Can’t wait for the next episodes !
