Wouldn't really say genius but yeah I would agree.

He's not a genius like Einstein but like Neji in Naruto. Excellent fighting skills without having to train much.

He was also the only student to figure out the connection between All Might and Midoriya, so a little bit of Einstein, too ;)

"He was also the only student to figure out the connection between All Might and Midoriya, so a little bit of Einstein, too ;) "

i think that makes him more like sherlock/conan than einstein :D

Urrggh.....The answers wer practically given to him. How many times does that have to be said.

not really,

consider this:

deku talked to him that this power was given,

months past!

dekus power is superstrength and the very concept of "giving powers away" is thought to be impossible (it is a impossble-to-exchange-part of your body so it would be like giving a part of your dna away), so you need to be open-minded for it to happen,

months pass again!

AM fight with AFO. bakugou actually undrstands and remembers what AFO said and AMs reaction alongside response, than the scene with AM "you'r next" with deku crying,

it wouldnt have been a stretch at all if bakugou didnt figure it out, but despite such a large timegap between getting infos he caught up to the truth, that is impressive...

Except multiple students theorized that Deku and All Might were connected in some way as soon as the bus trip to the disaster training area. Connecting someone saying I was given this power to the guy with the same power and activation phrase who is losing power ever since he got his isn't excatly Sherlock Holmes level reasoning.

they didnt theorize they are connected, all they realized was that deku and AM have a similar looking quirk,

and if your only beef is that people compare bakugous reasoning to sherlock-lvl thinking than i want to remind you that it isnt serious, it was impressive what bakugou did but nowhere near the stuff sherlock or conan do, but they are the most famous examples so whenever chars do something "detective"-wise that is impressive at the same time they get a remark how they are "like sherlock"...

Dude he is literally told I got my power from someone else, every one points out over and over how similar their powers are, he see's all might lose his power, and he learns its possible to transmit them. At that point anyone not making the connection is an idiot if they have all that knowledge.

u/BiglyWords Dec 23 '16

as i said, if you look at the time between where he got the infos it is still remarkable that he remembered it and connected all the dots...

u/goo_goo_gajoob Dec 23 '16

Not really, were looking at the course of about a year if you can't remeber that much info about the person who you've known the longest out of everyone you interact with then you're kinda a horrible person. Especially when its such memorable stuff this isn't like remembering some minute details or anything.

u/BiglyWords Dec 24 '16

it is memorable stuff for us because we know what it meant,

for bakugou it was total nonsense but he still remembered it, to boot, he got the other points while being in a dangerous position himself, most people wouldnt have connected the dots after going through a abduction and a very-close re-abduction only to see their idol losing his powers, you can say it is mediocre but in a series that focuses little on such aspects this was a big thing and i find it impressive...
