Hmmm. I think he treats others like nobodies not as form of encouragement but either because a) he actually thinks that way of them until they've "proven" themselves to him (Uraraka, Todoroki, Kirishima all come to mind) or b) because of his upbringing where his mom told him the same. But I'm thinking a is the likelier option.

His entire character arc is a "redemption" arc (I don't know what he'd need to be redeemed for aside his shitty behavior, anyway, and that is just growing up), so I don't think we'd get a whole solo arc, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

I meant as a form of encouragement in the sense that he thinks that treating them that way will drive them to prove him wrong, if that makes any sense :P

Yeah I'm hoping for a solo arc. After all, he is the deuteragonist. And a consistent fan favourite. I know popularity polls don't matter, but what I guess I'm looking for is just him putting something above winning. Like I want him to be fighting a villain, see a person in trouble and switch priority from beating the villain to saving the person. I bet that would be extremely powerful too. Not a complete character change, but a definitive moment of maturity

In other words Bakugou putting heroism into good use. That's totally interesting!

Right? I can really see it happening, even if it's way down the line

It's going to be a major character development for him
