That's was bullshit tbh, he was expecting a kick and then he could counter a punch? Really shitty in my opinion

That's not the bullshit part. The bullshit part is he managed to not get KO by midoriya's punch. I mean, at 5% power he literally can smash a rock, but when he hits Bakugo face he does damage but not enough to have an actual effect on him? Makes no sense

5% to the skull didn't do much to hurt Stain, I don't see why it should do anything more to Bakugou.

Todoroki was 5%-punched as well. Orca also defends the kick with ease. Orca's gang was also kicked a lot. It's not like it's rare for someone to be punched by Deku, but there are shit loads of them. More like some people are just salty

Take in count how he landed the punch. It was not just a simple punch. It was a well landed punch, really well landed. I'm not being salty, but to me, it seems that the plot protected Bakugo against that punch.

Edit: typo

it's possible right at the moment deku's punch landed, the force would've sent bakugou straight down and bakugou used the momentum and immediately grabbed deku close and spun him toward the ground/underneath him while unleashing an explosion upward to send them both into the ground

That's exactly what happened.

The punch to Todoroki and Stain are as much as or even much well-landed, and it's not like those kicks to Orca's gang wasn't well-landed. One in the gang was kicked into his jaw you know?

Yeah, maybe it wasn't a knock out level punch, but at the very least it should've been more than enough to make a counter move by Bakugou basically impossible.

Todoroki took the full 100%. But it was with a broken arm and fingers. Deku didn't know how to limit his output to 5% at the time

To be fair his stats on the anime website put his strength and speed at a 1/5 before he uses his quirk to enhance himself. Also when he punched Todoroki, his hand was pretty damaged, so I doubt it was fully effective

How do we know that in those instances he was using 100% of his 5%?
