Well, they very much can. If they can press bakugo into having no other option but to keep "exploding everywhere" in response to being within close proximity, then they just keep doing that until he runs out of stamina, or better still, it just puts them in a position where they can get an attack in.
well no, Bakugo exploding everywhere is not only his standard tactic, but at this point it's just a side effect of cluster. His entire body now releases explosions all the time. It's not something that tires him out; in fact his quirk gets stronger the more he sweats so prolonging the fight accomplishes the opposite of what you're imagining
I’m not buying into this. We’re going by the profile, and from what I can see, we’re not scaling Cluster Bakugo to a one-shot level above All might. He just scales to the feats he achieved with those amps, which in-universe didn’t let him one-shot the people he was up against at that point. It’s the same reason you dismissed the Kage being low end comparable to the humanoid Susano’o.
The humanoid Susano'o are treated as 7 teratons on their profiles and therefore the Kage scale to them
The only reason why I don't scale them to Madara's High 6A key is simply cuz it's just... not on their profiles at all
meanwhile Bakugo's 1 shot amp is stated on his profile (or at least it's on Pre-Final Act Bakugo's profile but a later version of Bakugo should also obviously scale to his past self)
Not to mention, Bakugo with cluster could sting the likes of Complete Shigaraki, who is 6A at 1.12 petatons. Therefore Bakugo has enough on his profile to show that Cluster can actually 1 shot people on his level since he can somewhat hurt 1.12 petaton level characters with it
That would very much work because of the edge in LS. The minute his attention focuses on either of them, it leaves room for the others to attack or grab hold of him. Bakugo isn’t the best at handling a squad, and he’s not the most experienced either.
Bakugo deals with squads by blowing them up. The Kage have no counterplay around getting blown up. It's just that simple. Bakugo's entire fighting style is massive ranged AOE. How does that not deal with squads?
LS doesn't matter. If someone has you in a chokehold but your entire body can emit explosions that splatter the arm around your neck into bloody paste, what do you think is going to happen? He'll be restrained for a fraction of a second but then he just explodes and destroys whatever was holding him
The experience is probably valid but Bakugo isn't stupid either. He's one of the smartest and most committed characters in the series, with several mentions of being intelligent not only through his grades but also his training, dedication, and research into his own quirk. Obviously the Kage have more blatant experience due to age and events witnessed but Bakugo can still keep up since he's no slouch himself and he's still leagues stronger and faster than the majority of them
Gaara’s sand has multiple layers, each about 10 cm thick and with 7-teraton durability. He can stack them up to several meters tall, so bakugo isn’t nuking shit. The parts that get blown back just keep raining down since Gaara is continuously manipulating the scattered sand. Not to mention, Bakugo won’t be able to “explode” since he’s sealed the moment he’s enveloped in sand.
Bakugo's range spans over 5.5 kilometers. That sand ain't doing sh*t, it gets blown back so far by his, once again, CONSTANT FULL BODY EXPLOSIONS that it can't actually get close at all
As I’ve mentioned above, Onoki’s part in this is to amp A’s speed and finish Bakugo off once he’s sealed. Also, we’ve been treating this like A would just let Bakugo go after Onoki while he’s at A’s back. How ridiculous. Why would A let that happen in the first place when he’s already massively faster than Bakugo? Why would he comfortably let Bakugo take a shot at Onoki while fully aware that Onoki is the source of his amplification? That scenario is ridiculous.
because
and I'm repeating myself AGAIN
A can't get close to Bakugo without getting blown up
once again
CONSTANT FULL BODY EXPLOSIONS
who cares about speed when you can't get close enough to do anything about it
Gaara doesn’t need to be within close proximity to grab Bakugo, so I don’t know what you mean. Bakugo can’t burn A due to his Lightning Armor, and he can’t significantly damage him because of Katsuyu, so A’s good. I just don’t see Bakugo as skilled enough of a fighter to completely evade both Gaara and a buffed, near-blitz-amp A at the same time.
1. Bakugo can blow back the sand by just blowing it up. He's still massively stronger. A actually does just die if he's in Bakugo's general vicinity because he just gets blown up by AP he can't handle
2. I have never mentioned burning a single time in any of my arguments. I find it ridiculous that so many of you can't even read
I don't see A even getting close to Bakugo without instantly dying. Heat resistance is very valid but he just gets 1 shot by the blunt force trauma. It's an explosion, not just fire.
I said this like 3 days ago
3. Katsuyu is 7 teratons. She gets blown up regardless. Not to mention, Katsuyu provides worse healing than Mitotic Regeneration, which provides Mid-level regeneration, which is completely useless here since Bakugo genuinely just splatters them and she can't regenerate from damage that severe. Even if you argue Bakugo can't 1 shot them with Onoki's heavy buff and therefore Katsuyu can heal them back to full, Onoki doesn't get this same benefit so he just dies and then Bakugo cleans up house, or Bakugo just targets the Godzilla sized slug that shows up out of nowhere and kills it instantly cuz he can.
Well, he doesn’t even need to restrain him to do that, since sealing renders the opponent immobile. And don’t use Madara as an anti-feat for this, since he has resistance to sealing due to breaking out of Gaara’s sand.
The sand needs time to gather in order to seal. Bakugo can blow it up before he even gets the chance because he matches Gaara's range and is also far stronger anyways. The sealing could theoretically work but Bakugo can just blow it up before it starts cuz he's doing that anyways
