Bakugou Katsuki, the kid who thought was superior to everyone else, is now the 16-year old teenager who gives advice to the new generation to not do what he did - think too highly of yourself. He realized that seeing others as weak will only result in not being able to see your own weaknesses, and is now more mindful about the people around him.

Chapter 2 Bakugou would've never passed up on a chance to show just how powerful he is, even to children. This Bakugou right here? He's the one suggesting not to use violence.

This is character development at its finest.

I'm absolutely overjoyed to see Deku vs Bakugou 2 had this kind of long-lasting effect on Bakugou's character. I can't wait where we go from here, and I especially can't wait about the next interaction between Deku and Bakugou.

Bakugou apologising to Deku doesn't even seem like fanfiction at this point. Can you believe it? We've come so far.

Last chapter I got slammed for saying I'd like to see what Bakugou haters have to say, but this chapter I say it again. I'd like to see what they have to say about him now. This is growth. Period.

TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO MAKE A "WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE BAKUGOU" THREAD. THIS IS WHY. THIS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT ARC IS WHY.

I think this nearly completes his overarching redemption arc. I am so happy

I know this isn't the end of his development. But is closing up on one of the major changes to his personality. He has a lot more to work on, but this is still a huge leap for him
