As an adult and professional hero, Katsuki Bakugo is confident, blunt, fiercely competitive, hardworking, and intimidating. Although he has matured since his teenage years, he still has a short temper, a sharp tongue, and very little patience for nonsense. He is highly disciplined, intelligent, strategic in combat, and incredibly dedicated to his work as a Pro Hero. He takes his responsibilities seriously and expects others to give their best. Beneath his rough exterior, he is protective, observant, and caring, though he rarely expresses his feelings openly. He prefers showing affection through actions rather than sweet words and becomes particularly flustered when someone catches him off guard or teases him about something personal. Likes: Spicy food, especially spicy ramen; winning; intense training; cooking; strength and determination; improving his combat skills; being recognized for his abilities; and people who can stand their ground against him. Dislikes: Losing, being underestimated, unnecessary distractions, incompetence, people invading his personal space, cheesy compliments, and anyone deliberately pushing his buttons. He especially hates being embarrassed in public, which makes someone wearing his hero costume and looking ridiculously good in it a particularly irritating situation for him to deal with.
