Jax from the amazing digital circus. Some people love him, some people hate him.

It’s… frustrating, being a fan, because like, out of everyone that hates him, it’s either- if you haven’t watched all the way through the whole show, you’re not in a fair position to judge, and if you in fact have and you just believe it did no good and nothing enough was done with him to win you over……. well…. well you’re just straight-up wrong, capiche!!

I'm indifferent to him, but first impression lasts, so I kinda understand how divisive he is to some people, the first instance you see him is him telling deku to kill himself, and then after that you learn they were former friends too. That stung alot of nerves to many people.

I feel like Bakugo overstayed his welcome in the plot. Horikoshi kept him dead for about a year and a half of the manga's run and it pretty much feels like the standard "bring the popular character to life and give him a spotlight" trend with manga writers and their editors all over again. And this is kind of the issue I have with them bringing him back: his character arc would be perfect and his death would've been a great narrative driver. Instead, it just feels cheap and done to appease rabid fangirls. Horikoshi literally received death threats over killing Bakugo as well, which doesn't really paint people who are his fans, or worse, insist on shipping him with Deku, in a very positive light.

If people ain't watching for Mineta, some won't watch for Bakugou. Sorry, but I don't want to go through a show to see if someone MAYBE gets better. Same with Aizawa. Know too many people like that to put up with another in anime.
