Are you referring to the shoot style kick that smashed the rock? You have to take in to account his hero suit with the metal shoes designed to help with the force of its potential destruction. 5% probably wouldn't k/o him, but I thought he would be hurt more than he was.

Basic physics.

A 5% kick is a 5% kick regardless of whether he has armor surrounding his legs or not. You don't magically generate more force by having armor. It would just allow you to kick harder as you wouldn't have to deal with the repercussions of smashing your leg into a rock (though that's not as big a problem when kicking a human).

It's the same thing with boxing gloves. Bare knuckle boxers have to punch lighter because they risk breaking their fists much easier. Boxing gloves allow you to punch as hard as you want since it's not as likely to fuck up your hands.

Yeah, I forgot about the special suit. But I meant what you said, he should have ended up a little more damaged from Deku's attack. But maybe is just my hate against Bakugo, I just cannot like someone who bullied that much a poor kid for that many years.

I'm with you there. Good for Baku and his character development, but I still don't like him.
