This figure features Bakugo running to school in his U.A. High School uniform. He looks to be in a great hurry, bent forward with his arms swinging mid-stride. His expression is determined and angry, teeth clenched and brows furrowed. His blond hair is in its usual messy, spiky style. His white dress shirt is wrinkled and the gray jacket over it flies out behind him. He wears a red belt, black baggy trousers, and brown dress shoes and his blue messenger bag hangs off one shoulder, also in danger of flying off. Bakugo is rarely seen to be in a rush at school, usually only running while training or fighting. In fact, it is revealed in the series that Bakugo’s academic skills match his combat skills.

About the Katsuki Bakugo
Katsuki Bakugo is a fierce character whose determination to become the best hero motivates him to train harder than many others his age. He was childhood friends with the protagonist of My Hero Academia, Izuku Midoriya (Deku). Upon finding Deku was born quirkless, Bakugo’s relationship with him quickly soured. When both boys were accepted into the hero program of U.A. High School, Bakugo questioned everything. Both characters also share the same role model - All Might. Slowly, he began to accept that he had a lot to learn. Though Bakugo’s personality is naturally abrasive and sullen, his interactions with other characters are often humorous. He is also fiercely protective of those around him, putting his own safety on the line to battle villains. Even when he was kidnapped by the League of Villains, his faith in heroes never wavered. Loyal to his motivations as a hero, he remained completely unfazed by the League of Villain’s offer to join their group. This says a lot about his pure character as an aspiring hero. Bakugo’s character development is very enjoyable and even heartwarming to watch. He is slowly learning to become closer with friends while becoming a better hero-in-training as well.
