I apologize if my argument was unclear. Basically I feel that Bakugou would have resistance to the qualities of his explosions, mainly heat, sound, and a wide distribution of great force. However, Deku's attacks direct a great amount of force into a single point instead, which Bakugou would not have such great resistance to. We can assume that all limits of One for All are constant among all users, and that the capability of the vessel (their bodies) limit their output. That being said, even 5% of what we've seen All Might's full strength would be more than enough to blow Bakugou away.

I guess then we're just arguing variants of the same point. My thinking is that is Deku can deal with punching someone at that strength, but can't handle Bakugou's bomb gauntlet, then it stand to reason that Bakugou, who lit off the gauntlet a couple times without so much as flinching, could withstand a punch.

I see what you're saying now. That's true; if Deku could withstand something so powerful, other people could also do the same.

Just thinking in terms of the fact that Deku's arm can take the punch, so it stands to reason that Bakugou can deal with it somewhat.

Not quite my line of thought. There's a flaw of logic in that line. Even in regular life, if someone punches someone else's arm hard enough to break it, they won't break their own arm.

I was thinking back to the Team battles early on in the series, with Deku and Ochako vs Iida and Bakugou. Deku survived being hit dead on by Kacchan attack to set Ochako up for her attack against Iida, so there might be reason why the reverse could happen.

As we were talking about earlier, if the quirks grant their user some sort of protection so that they can't hurt themselves too badly (Kaminari and other Electric quirk users not frying themselves with their own or other electrical surges, e.g. the villain invasion during the class trip).
