You know, this isn’t really a match-up I
expected a lot of people would argue with.
I would think that the only way that these guys could be combatted is who was written
better.
That’s a debate for someone else.
This is a battle of explosive users, Yoshikage Kira and his stand Killer Queen Vs. Katsuki
Bakugo and his quirk, Explosion.
Before getting to how it works, I go over both characters first.
[Katsuki Bakugo] Let’s get on to the one with the explosive
personality first, Katsuki Bakugo from Boku no Hero.
Or how ever you personally say it, I just say “My Hero” because it's shorter.
If you had either watched or read My Hero, you know what type of person Bakugo is.
While he seems like a reckless, loud, and menacing; he’s exactly that and he’s smart.
Which you wouldn’t really expect, because those that are smart are usually portrayed
to be the exact opposite of what Bakugo is.
His strategy and intelligence in battle are his strongest attributes, and when compared
to the other students, he’s one of the smartest students when it comes to 1 on 1 fighting.
This is also given information by the official character book.
Where his technique is 5 out 5, and his intelligence is 4 out of 5.
His intelligence shows when it comes to his ability to assess weaknesses and situations
he’s in, and he pairs his technique with that, making him a strong character.
[Abilities / Powers] Now for his abilities, these are products
of his quirk, Explosion.
Bakugo sweats nitroglycerin and can make it explode at will.
So, with it being based off his sweat, the more he sweats, the strong the explosions.
His quirk is strongly based on his hands because he needs his hands sweating for it to work.
He can use his explosions to propel himself forward and into the air, and he can also
create a stun grenade with quirk.
His most notable moves are his Howitzer Impact and AP shot, but for anime only watchers,
you’re only going to know his Howitzer Impact since his AP shot is about 40 chapters ahead
of where the season 2 ended.
His Howitzer Impact is a very large explosion made from him turning into a human missile
to make it short.
[Yoshikage Kira] Now onto Yoshikage Kira of Jojo’s Bizarre
Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable.
Kira doesn’t possess any experience in fighting.
The only thing Kira is good with is cleaning up his kills.
When it comes down to it, he’s American Psycho with a lavender suit.
He kills without having experience, but he doesn’t need any to kill because of his
stand Killer Queen.
Stands for those that don’t know…
I’ve explained this too many times to count.
Imagine a spirit being bound to a person that can touch anything, but no one can touch the
spirit, because it’s a spirit.
Killer Queen has a signature ability, it can make anything into a bomb.
He can either charge something and then imitate pressing a handheld detonator to blow it up,
or either Killer Queen or Kira touches the object directly and blows it up instantly.
The ability to turn anything into a bomb is what Kira calls his “1st bomb”, which
basically means his first ability.
He has a 2nd bomb known as Sheer Heart Attack.
This is his secondary stand where it comes from the hand of Killer Queen.
From what we know, this stand near indestructible.
It’s also a heat seeking bomb, so once it gets near a warm or hot object, it explodes.
Now there’s one last ability, but I don’t believe it’s needed here so I’m going
to get down into the fight.
[The Fight] Now I thought of the most accurate scenario
possible to start this fight.
You have Bakugo roaming the now conjoined My Hero jojoverse, and he sees Kira blow someone
up.
His job as a hero would be to stop him, the sensible thing to do would be to get a bigger
hero, but Bakugo isn’t going to do that now.
So, there’s two ways that Kira would approach this, if he wants to fully avoid the situation,
he could launch Sheer Heart Attack and walk away.
The second option, which I see as the more accurate option is that Kira will try to kill
Bakugo now since he had seen him kill.
[The Scenario] So, I’m going to be putting at least 15ft
between them, and now it’s about how shoots first.
Kira has never been the one to do that, so you’re going to have Bakugo pull a Han Solo
in this.
Bakugo could either shoot an explosion to push him Kira back or he could launch himself
at Kira, but since he doesn’t know what Kira is capable of, I don’t see him choosing
an immediate close combat strat.
So, Bakugo can’t shoot too large of an explosion due to them being not ever being in the environment
for it, which means they meet somewhere in a town.
So, he’s going to shoot a blast that Killer Queen braces Kira for if he sees the motion
for it.
Since Bakugo’s regular explosions aren’t meant to kill and more focused on damaging,
Kira is going to a bit messed up but fine for the most part.
Now this is where Bakugo would try some upfront stuff and the speed he could launch himself
is fast, but with how inexperienced Kira is, I can see Bakugo doing the same thing that
he pulled on Deku without getting too close, and he knocks Kira forward onto the ground.
Then Bakugo and Kira are in the same position as Kira Vs. Josuke and Okuyasu.
Then, this is where Bakugo loses in this case.
Since Kira had no chance to do anything with Killer Queen, he’s able to easily destroy
Bakugo.
Especially since he can’t see Killer Queen at all.
Killer Queen could touch Bakugo’s clothes, shoes, or even his bracers without him knowing,
and by the time he realizes he’s getting blown up, it’s too late.
There’s a lot of reasons why I found Kira to be the winner in a lot of this.
If Kira didn’t want to deal with the fight, he could’ve left Sheer Heart Attack with
Bakugo and he would die easily.
Since his power is reliant on his quirk and Sheer Heart Attack is a heat seeking bomb,
he can’t really do anything.
Hand to hand combat Bakugo wins if Killer Queen isn’t involved, but if it is then
that would be terrible for Bakugo since Killer Queen as an abnormal amount of strength to
one shot people like it’s nothing.
Plus, Bakugo isn’t going for a kill when it comes to arresting a villain, Kira is always
trying to kill the other person.
Now say that it’s blood-lusted Bakugo vs. blood-lusted Kira.
I believe that Bakugo’s AP shot could kill Kira, so if he’s got him cornered then that
would be it for Kira.
There’s a secondary version of the AP Shot meant to avoid creating any fatalities with
people, but if we’re talking about blood-lusted Bakugo, I doubt that he’s going to pick
the secondary version of the AP Shot.
If he’s going to go for straight kills then he’s going to go for his best move possible
in that case.
When it comes to certain moves like the Howitzer Impact, Killer Queen could just grab Bakugo
by the neck and get him right after it, then blow him up.
Since Bakugo likes to be unreasonably close when he does it, even though it creates a
large blast radius.
If Bakugo wants to kill and play the range game, he could win.
But since it’s Bakugo, I don’t think he’s going to be playing the range game when blood-lusted.
So anytime Bakugo is in range, that’s game over at that point.
Now, if Bakugo could see Killer Queen, that’d be a whole different story.
If he could hit Killer Queen, that’d also change the game up even further.
But that’s getting to lines where I’m just bending the rules to where it just lies
in Bakugo’s favor.
Although I think that Bakugo’s explosions should be fatal if they’re going to be that
large.
I believe that they severely nerf Bakugo, because they don’t want him accidentally
killing people back and forth.
Though the properties of the powers in there don’t have explanations to them.
Like how hasn’t Bakugo already killed someone accidentally if these are full on nitroglycerin
explosions, but I guess maybe it’s due to the potency.
[Final Thoughts] Now for my final thoughts on this all.
I can see why people would want to match Bakugo and Kira.
They both use explosives technically, and they both rely on their hands for it.
Now while Kira wins for most of the fights that you could give between the two, Bakugo
has room to grow.
Since we haven’t even see what adult Bakugo could be like, he probably will have an easier
chance against Kira once he’s grown.
When it comes to Kira, we saw all he could do.
Though it was a lot.
He could donut people, chop hands off with his hand, and blow everything up.
So that’s going to be it, Kira not only beats a kid, he also beats the case.
Now he gets away and begins the race.
The next fight I’m going to be doing is probably All Might Vs. Jotaro since a lot
of people had been giving me that.
Though there’s a lot going into it so, I have a lot to do before that fight.
So, if you guys enjoyed there’s other videos like this and if you’re looking for more
My Hero content, that’s coming soon.
I’ll see you guys in the next one, until then, peace out and god speed.
