Katsuki Bakugo

Katsuki Bakugo ( Bakugō Katsuki?), also known as Kacchan (かっちゃん Katchan) by his childhood friends, and his hero name Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight (•••ダイナマイト Daibakusatsu-Shin Dainamaito), is a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero. He is the deuteragonist of the series.

Katsuki's Quirk Explosion allows him to secrete nitroglycerin-like sweat from the palms of his hands and ignite it on command, allowing him to create strong explosions. The more Katsuki sweats, the stronger his explosions become. If Katsuki overuses this power, his forearms will start to ache.

Katsuki has a strong grasp on the applications of his Quirk, something that was acknowledged by Best Jeanist, a top Pro Hero; not only can Katsuki use the explosions for attacking, he can also use them to propel himself and navigate through the air at high speeds, allowing him to fly at his opponents without giving them time to react, as well as evade incoming attacks, even while in the air. The shockwave from an explosion can even be used as a shield.

Katsuki can keep up his explosions continuously, long enough to break through Eijiro's hardening Quirk and negate Shoto's "Heaven-Piercing Ice Wall" for a short while before being overwhelmed.

As part of his training, Katsuki submerged his hands into boiling water to expand his sweat glands, then created chain explosions toward the sky to increase the scale of his attacks.
