Bakugou doesn't discriminate. He hates everyone equally lmao

The only person who gave her the respect she deserved in the entire arena was bakugou.

"What was so frail about her...?"

Bakugou really said “these hands rated E for everyone”

Bakugo really just “Don’t be racist or sexist! Obliterate _everyone_ in cold blood regardless of race or gender!”

Is it just me or Bakugo really sounds like someone who smokes ten cigarettes a day?

It annoyed me that the only one who knew what she was capabale of, and didn't underestimated her, was Bakugou. Hell, her friends, classmates, even MIDORIYA didn't think she could last against Katsuki. It annoyed me even more that the watchers were booing Bakugou because he wasn't going easy on 'that poor girl'. Thankfully Aizawa set them straight

He really said equal rights equal fights I have no choice but to Stan 😌👉🏽👈🏽

It's really ridiculous how the other heroes shout at Bakugou for fighting. When have you seen a true villain have mercy. Maybe he's not a villain, but those fights are also supposed to teach students about a fight with a villain.

Bakogu aint no simp

you could tell bakugou was in pain by his voice alone after the blast

This was a amazing fight. Bakugo is so careful against Uraraka because he acknowledges her power. When he shot that huge blast, it is clear that he had to use one of his strongest moves at the moment or else he would've lost. He's clearly trembling after the shot, showing the damage it did to him. It's just amazing.

Uraraka is actually pretty smart lol

Remember when bakugo was hated and everyone thought he was gonna be a villan

"Withdrawing isn't a choice" Katsuki: So you have chosen death

See how Bakugo's face looked a bit worried after Ochaco went almost unconscious And then even tho he did win, his face and expression doesn't shows anything, he is just like "I won, but what now?"

WHEN SHE FELL HE STOOD THERE. HE WASNT YELLING OR ENJOYING HIS VICTORY. HE JUST STOOD THERE.

I hated the part where the crowed booed at Bakugou for going hard at Uraraka. Like- If he was fighting a villain would he have to go easy on them because they happen to be a girl? NO! He'd beat their ass either way. So thank god Bakugou did't go easy, it explains his respect he has for who he's fighting

This win for Bakugo was more deserved than his win against Shoto, and Bakugo knows that.

And in this 1 scene she's already better than Sakura

As a girl I actually love this scene, I hate when girls are underestimated and I hate it when boys are treated like bullies when they fight back. If people really want women to be equal to men we can't put handicaps on them.

A gender equality fight at its finest id say.

If your mad at Bakugou for how he fought then think of it this way. If he went easy on her then it shows that he doesn't take her as a threat. He knew what she could have done so going easy would have cost him the match and show lots of disrespect.

Uraraka has achieved: *_Bakugous respect_*

It low-key makes me sad to watch Uraraka fall to the ground with exhaustion, trying to cling on to her energy but she's already gone way past her limit. The feeling of working so hard for it all to be for nothing is really crushing.

Still one of my favourite episodes. Let me rant for a minute here. Bakugo: -Took her seriously as an opponent from the beginning. When she said "withdrawing isn't an option", he accepts that as someone who's ready to fight with everything they have, and treats it as such from the start. -Knew her quirk. Seriously, in the Cavalry battle they Just went through he said to half his classmates "I don't know your quirks". He went against her in the 1st round, which means he didn't watch a previous fight to see & judge it. He remembered it probably from their first mock training together. (He remembers her power from all the way back then & you can't convince me otherwise. He's an @ssh0le but he's not stupid.) -Was impressed by Uraraka. When he gets excited after she forced him to use a massive amount of strength, that's eagerness to fight an opponent he sees as worthy, someone who's going to give him a good fight. -When she dropped but kept crawling, he put his guard back up. (ya girl is dragging herself on the ground, barely conscious, and he's on guard. He's wary of her at that point. That speaks volumes about just how far she pushed him with that meteor shower, which he even acknowledges when he gets back to his seat. "There's a limit to my power too." / "What about her was fragile?") -Knows her by name. Even Todoroki he calls "Half-and-Half" & Bakugo knows and recognizes how strong he is. But he doesn't acknowledge him as his opponent with the respect that comes from using his name. Bakugo is my favourite bnha character and I will scream from the rooftops about how the first character he shows real respect for is a bubbly cute girl who knows how strong he is & takes him on anyway. I l o v e i t.

I love how biased present mic is during this fight....

I live both characters. As the fight went on I found myself rooting for Uraraka cause I'm a sucker for the underdog story. But I was hoping bakugo would win cause that would make the story less cliche. Idk if that makes sense lol

2:31 Everyone's talking about Kacchako but ill never forget this adorable scene.

The girls power is actually insane. She doesn't need to touch no hero. She can fight with a 100ton hammer. Make the hammer light then cancel out her power when she is about to hit them.

1:04 When i first saw this fight i thought that was blood and i got so scared uraraka died 0_0

There was no way she was winning this. Even if she touched him he wouldn’t go out because he can control himself with explosions

2:14 this moment. that look bakugo had in his eyes, theres just something about it

I saw that look of concern in his eyes when she started to fall, and you literally cannot change my mind. That was concern in his eyes.

I love how Bokugo never underestimate anyone when he battles.

I feel Neji vs Hinata here. Eventhough I feel bad for Neji, Cause there's no need to hold back when you're fighting a girl or a guy, because the one whom you're fighting is your opponent, gender doesn't matter at all

Bakugo: A true advocate of gender equality, after all equal rights equal fights.

I love uraraka sm. She’s my favorite character and seeing her fall like that ALWAYS makes me cry. Never fails

"She's still not dead" - Katsuki Bakugo My Homie aint playin

I love how aizawa vouches for Bakugo, showing how observant of a teacher he is.

I’m just gonna appreciate the fact that Ochaco was the first person that Katsuki motha f*ckin’ Bakugo had to use his (no gauntlet) full scale blast on. The only other person he used it on after was f*cking All Might! He never even used it on Deku or even Shoto for that matter! Really loved this fight.

Bakugo may be a bully and he may be a pimp but after this fight, everyone knows... *He aint no fuckin' simp!* 😎

I love how he took her seriously. He's one of my fav characters, he's written so well and his character development up until the 5th season is chef's kiss!

Oh God my precious girl…

@2:32 had me torn up inside

i love when he replied to denki and eijirou were saying “you could’ve weaken a little bit she’s a girl” or something like that then bakugo said “she’s not weak” AAAAAAA plsss i love his character development 😭😭

School: Please don't beat up the bb girl. Bakugo: *Nah man equal rights*

I feel like these 3 notes of piano at 2:16 truly are underrated. So simple yet so heartbreaking, killing any positive vibes from the scene snapping off hope... She was ready to continue even if her plan didn't worked but her body didn't follow.

I love how she put Deku as inspiration

Ppl say momo is stronger but honestly there has never been an intense fight her quirk is really strong but she doesnt make the most of it

2:31 NOO MY BABY DONT CRYY TmT

Uraraka: I can do this all day.

Bakugou had his guard up when she was CRAWLING on the floor, on her knees, barely moving towards him. This was a super close fight and it definitely must've been difficult for bakugou, because of his cramping in his wrist. I think that really showed how powerful Uraraka actually is, and it made me smile- Also that scene with her parents was so cute

2:14 I will never not feel upset here. The way they used the soundtrack and had the loud, strong violin diminish quickly into the sad piano music- The first time I watched this fight, I was fighting back tears.

I think it's really cool how full of genuine respect Bakugou is, even though he has a piss poor way of showing it. Like i absolutely believe his respect is genuine, even as he calls someone an extra he never underestimates someone and gives it his all. Like in that arena he was probably the only one who took Uraraka truly serious, even as he decided he would win. So when Shouto dropped the fight it was just pure disrespect. I gotta say it makes him as a character so much more interesting.

When she had the memories and pass out I was crying

He took her seriously. The others were sure she was going to lose, but bakugo fought him with all his power and she almost won. He didn't underestimate her at all. That's why i love this scene so much.

2:44 this. One of the reasons i stan bakugo is this. You see his position. It means he is ready to attack. He went into that position because she moved. He would NEVER kick someone while they are down, so when she moved, even if she was on the floor, he expected for her to get up and fight. He did NOT let his guard down. He only did when he was announded a winner. 2:49 Not before that. He wanted to win aginst her while she's at her strongest. He always does. Aginst anyone he's fighting for. Because he wants to win even when people give it all, he wants to prove he's the strongest. Sure, he can be a jerk here and there, but he is not an idiot. He is a fair player and everthing he ever earned, he deserved.

This is what i love about bakugo he does not go easy on anyone even with there gender he knows that a girl can be capable as much as a boy bakugo is one of the only charectors with gender equallity he does not gi easy on them just cause there a girl

I like how all the anime Fights are Just about "AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

The fact that she thanked bakugou during the fight proves that she felt underestimated by everyone else in the arena.

And then people call her useless despite all that she does and says she is “poorly written” she is literally one of the best written characters I have come across

this is when i started to fully understand bakugous character. he truly does respect all his opponents and classmates

This is still one of my favorite fights in the whole show. The respect Uraka gives Bakugo and the respect Bakugo gives Uraka is fucking awesome. It’s well earned for both of them. They both fought without holding back, they fought intelligently, and they fought fiercely. Bakugo ultimately had the more powerful quirk in this situation, but in the end my favorite line from him in this moment was that “she wasn’t weak at all.” Uraka respects that Bakugo is taking her seriously and Bakugo respects her passion for winning the match. This scene to me, is incredibly underrated.

What I love about the dynamic of this fight is just how quickly Bakugo recognizes how bad a match up it is He needs to be able to knock her out of the arena, but to do that he'd need to use a full blast, which he can't do because in the off chance he misses Uraraka could use that to touch him. He knows that if her quirk is used on him, he's done for. His explosive quirk would work against him and propel him out of the arena, so he'd be totally screwed. It's essentially why he has to go full defense mode and has to play it so safe. One wrong move and he instantly loses.

1:50 that's ururskas twin am I right?

The fact that the only people who truly acknowledged her were Bakugo and Monoma 💀💀

She was squaring up to the moment she passed out

I love how Bakugo never tried to go easy, he respected every opponent with the same amount of anger 😌

I started watching the anime yesterday and I'm loving it, unlike many animes we have, this one doesn't try to diminish one character to make another one look better. In the vast majority of animes, a character like Uraraka would barely endure Bakugo's first attack, but in this anime, although it was clear that she would not win, we can see that there was a concern in making Uraraka show that she is also skilled in fighting one of powerful characters.

This is the fight where you can you tell that Uraraka has HUGE potential as a hero. If she gets better control of her power and earns some experience in battle she could become one of the big shots.

No one: Not even a single soul: Not even Ash Ketchum on crack: The fandom: OmG oMg ShE lOvEs BaKuGo LeT's ShIp ThEm

After watching the darkest episode, i realise if ochaco has such mobility like Toga, she will be strong as hell

We all knew she wasn't gonna win but damn it was a good fight 😭 when I saw her leg flinch I knew she was done 😭

I wanted Ururaka to win so badly, but I could tell she was going to lose. She didn’t pace herself which is how she got tired out. She’s really come a long way in season 5

Uraraka: NO, your not suppose to blow it up in one shot! I’m suppose to WIN! Bakugo: HaHa! Hand go BOOM BOOM!

I think it's an important detail that you have cut from the clip. At the beginning of the match Bakugo called Uraraka round face, but near the end he said "time to get serious URARAKA!" which perfectly shows that he has acknowledged her and respects her as an equal rival. A detail I really liked.

Great for Uraraka, even with so unequal quirks she managed to give Bakugo a sprained wrist

I admire bakugo even more than deku does. No doubt the best character of bnha.

I feel like this fight is somewhat underrated. Everyone keeps talking about Midoriya vs Todoroki, but while that was good, this was actually my favorite fight from the arc.

Uraraka may not have won but she proved at that moment how strong her will was and how strong _she_ was. I was so pissed when everyone were acting as if she's some frail damsel in distress, even after the fight.

0:05 lol his face...

One of the best fights in the sports festival. The way Uraraka kept hanging on regardless of the vast difference between their physical strength and still managed to figure a strategy shows how strong she is physically and emotionally. And she is the only girl in class who managed to make Bakugou feel threatened on a makeshift battlefield. Bakugou might not be your friendly neighbourhood hero but he respected her and saw her as an equal. This is what a person needs admist a fight, not sympathy but acknowledgement.

"I'm gonna win!" As she gets her shit caved in lmao

At this moment I started to really love Bakugo

I feel bad for Bakugou sometimes like people just don’t like him lol I think he feels the constant need to be better and stronger at every second of the day like when he literally got kidnapped and felt guilty about all might his mom said if he was stronger it wouldn’t have happened and she also calls him weak so he does have some reason behind y he’s the way he is

I feel so bad for her. Uraraka was so dedicated. All to lose. I genuinely felt her overwhelming sadness knowing she lost.

This arc was great for Bakugo's character, since it proves that he does respect his classmates, especially Ochaco, Tokoyama and Kirishima, who all give him a run for his money, or at least force him to take some risks

It’s sad because after her big attack, Bakugo finally started to treat her like a worthy opponent without realizing that she was totally finished after that even tho she was trying so hard to keep going

Bakugou: *Explodes Uraraka* Annoying teenager girl: He loves

Bakugo would still be able to maneuver himself around with his explosions even after ochaco touches him and uses her antigravity quirk. Bakugo will still have the upper hand no matter what tricks uraraka has up her sleeve.

Bakugo rlly said 'equal rights , equal fights'

When watching this battle I think all teacher in UA is same like my teacher is both have thoughts like this "We've managed the system fairly, so there's no protest"

I never really liked uraraka before this episode, I saw her as just another dumb love interest for deku (especially with her hero suit) but this episode really showed how dedicated she was to help her family, and I really like that because most shows would have had the guy go easy on her especially in an anime but uraraka kept going and that really made me love her.

we stan ochako for her determination ability and strength. we stan kacchan for acknowledging her strength and considering her an equal. we stan aizawa for silencing those sexist comments and supporting his capable female student.

Bakugou she's still not dead Me: gurl whats that supposed to mean like tf

I've always loved bakugou but after this episode I loved him even more he's the only one who didn't pay attention to her gender and recognized her as a strong opponent

2:15 I know bakugou felt for Uraraka here

No one's talking about just how tough this fight looked for Bakugo. He was actively struggling and even stressing in some cases. And we can see from Uraraka's perspective that he was still ready to keep going if she got back up. he never once let his guard down until that match was called. He had hella respect for in this fight and actually acknowledged what she was capable of, unlike literally everyone else there besides Aizawa.

It's been so long but everytime I see Bakugou's indifference to his victory I think it's because it was an empty win. She was exhausted for pushing her quirk overboard and lost to herself. He might not count it as a win because he was almost at his limit just fighting her. He could've lost if she still had stamina left after that failed attack. She just needed to land one blow on him and he was already switching to melee attacks so it would've been very possible. It was a very close battle and he knows it.
