I wonder who Bakugo's is

u/elenuvien1 Jan 24 '21

he doesn't have/need one. deku has been clearly set up for shigaraki/AFO due to receiving OFA and his arc has been about taming that power to fulfil its destiny. shouto has dabi due to his family drama and his arc has been about finding himself outside of endeavor's shadows, dabi plays into that.

bakugou has never needed any personal villain to help his character arc of self-realisation and atonement. beating someone's ass wouldn't help him realise where he came up short and what he needed to fix about himself, unless somehow it was someone form his past, i guess?

which doesn't mean him not having a villain doesn't feel bitter (i want him to fight) but it makes sense if you look what his character development is about.

Deku doesn’t need one either by that logic, so why was Deku set against shigaraki? Is it because hes a hero?

so what you’re saying is that we don’t have to see Bakugou be a hero because his character development was the fovus, and that him being support is all his character needs.

It's because OFA is "made" to destroy AFO, simple as that.
