Intern Bakugo
Bakugo's neat sidekick form
With over 3,000 offers from various pro heroes, Bakugo had the freedom to choose which hero agency to do his internship with. Among them, Bakugo chose Pro-Hero No. 4, Best Genist, as his mentor, who reluctantly took him in despite his destructive quirks due to his toughness and violent methods.
At this point, Bakugou, who used the temporary hero name Lord Explosion Murder, already had the talent to be a phenomenal sidekick, according to the great genius. However, Bakugo's unruly, spiky hair required more attention, so Best Genius styled it into a neat side part, much to Kirishima's amusement.

Bakugou's final test
Bakugou's form that defied everyone's expectations
The final test was one of Bakugoma's greatest displays of power My Hero AcademiaCourtesy of All Might, who pushed him to his limits. From dealing with All Might's devastating blows over and over again, to a barrage of super blasts while grappling with the spirit of teaming up with Deku, Bakugo proved his incredible resilience in the practical part of the final exam.
Between Izuku and Bakugo, the latter was more promising in their joint fight against All Might. He held his own against one of the strongest heroes of all time, blasting him with continuous blasts at point-blank range without his grenadier braces. His quick thinking was also impressive, being able to come up with effective strategies under pressure to buy time for Izuku.

AP Shot Bakugo
The form Bakugo used to defeat Midoriya
Bakugou's Quirk training led to the creation of Armor-Piercing Shot, a powerful finishing move capable of piercing solid rock. During the first Provisional Hero Licensing Exam, however, Bakugo deliberately used a weakened version against Shiketsu High's flesh-manipulating student, Seiji Shishikura, to avoid seriously injuring him.
When Bakugo unexpectedly fails the provisional license exam, he finally redeems himself in an intense one-on-one battle with Izuku in the 8% release of One for All Quirk. He counters Izuku's 5% Detroit Smash and turns the fight in his favor with another massive explosion.

Great explosion killing god dynamite Bakugo
Bakugou's form with his official hero name
Bakugo waited until the Extraordinary Liberation War to make his hero name official, eventually choosing the Great Explosion Murder God Dynamite after Tomura Shigaraki unveiled his upgraded Decay Quirk and nearly stole Izuku's One for All Quirk. With such a long and terrifying hero name, Bakugou made sure to reflect his explosive power and personality.
During the Extraordinary Liberation War, Bakugo saved Izuku's life several times, saving him from the all-for-one Tomura while helping Best Genius and his friends deal with high-end Nomus.

Strafe Panzer Bakugo
Bakugo's form with a new item of support course
The Strafe Panzer is a new item obtained from the support course before the execution of Operation Troy against Tomura Shigaraki and the League of Villains in Final Battle.

One for all Bakugo
Bakugou's form with the OFA Quirk
Bakugo gets the opportunity to run one for everyone on the island of Nabu as Midoriya temporarily passes on his hereditary quirk to help defeat Nine, one of the strongest villains they have ever faced. With one for all, Bakugo looked like a Super Saiyan with a more intense presence than Deku at 100% power.
Holding one for all at 100%, Bakugo ramped up his explosive technique, firing several armor-piercing shots and unleashing a devastating howitzer effect against Nine, following up with a devastating St. Louis Smash. As a result, Bakugou, along with Midoriya, stopped the Nine's extremely powerful weather manipulation quirk, busting their weapons in the process.

Kachan Bakugo
Bakugou's revived form in the final battle

Shortly after Ageshot revives Bakugou, he saves All Might's life through explosive speed in combination with Izuku's gearshift, feeling constant pain through his body.
In this case, Bakugo was running on borrowed time and pure adrenaline, but was still able to find a new way to use his Quirk. Not only did Bakugo match All For One's insane speed, but he also countered his Omni Factor Unleash, blasting the villain's face off with a massive explosion courtesy of a full-powered Howitzer Impact.
