* AdaptationalDumbass: [[ImpliedTrope Debately]]. While he isn't an outright idiot, Bakugou's overweening pride, entitlement, and prejudice give him ''incredible'' tunnel vision regarding Izuku and how he views the world around him. Time and time again, Bakugou embarks on some plan or tactic to sabotage Izuku. While Bakugou's escalating actions towards Izuku ''are'' genuinely horrifying, they all have short-term gains as he's too blinded by his pathological sadism and hubris to realize the consequences of his actions and soon gets his own misdeeds revealed and [[spoiler:his reputation ruined by the end]]. Also, when taking into account of Aldera's faculty members and student body playing along with Bakugou's bullying and smear campaign of Izuku and going to ''great'' lengths in covering up any of his misdeeds, [[spoiler:his grades are also [[AmbiguousSituation likely]] fixed to '''look''' perfect rather than being legitimately earned.]]

* {{Narcissist}}: Bakugou displays signs of narcissistic personality disorder co-morbid with his [[TheParanoiac paranoia]]. He has an extremely over-inflated belief in his own superiority, is completely self-absorbed, and has no empathy for anyone else (to the point that he takes personal offense to the idea that his peers might try to pursue the same dream as him and grows steadily more and more unhinged due to Izuku getting mentorship from All Might, a boon he feels entitled to), has a total meltdown and refuses to accept any fault in himself in the rare moments when someone stands up to him and criticizes him, and has an obsession with becoming a powerful and well-respected hero who can beat up pretty much anyone he doesn't like.

** {{Sloth}}: While not a LazyBum and believes in hard work, he only focuses on what matters to him about heroes (strong and victorious) and neglects everything else (saving others, being kind, etc.), and even then, he doesn't stick with the first part. 80% of the time, we see Bakugou spend more time stalking, slandering, and harming Izuku in place of actual training, ''especially'' after All Might kicks him out of training with them, all while encouraging the other Aldera students to do so as well. It's only after Izuku is pulled out of Aldera, and Bakugou is given a grave warning by All Might to stay the hell away, that Bakugou truly focuses on making great strides in strengthening the power of his Explosion Quirk. Still, all that Quirk training amounts to is getting him a worse score in the U.A. Entrance Exams than what he would've gotten due to his paranoia of Izuku spiraling out of control. At the same time, he's so incredibly assured of his own heroic, self-righteousness that the idea that he could or would be wrong is completely alien to him, and refuses to reflect or change his views all while being ''incredibly'' [[IRejectYourReality selective of how he sees reality]] and [[InsaneTrollLogic perform all sorts of mental gymnastics to justify himself]].

Time and time again, Bakugou embarks on some plan or tactic to sabotage Izuku, only for said plan or tactic to have short-term gains as he's too blind to realize the consequences of his actions and soon gets his own misdeeds revealed and [[spoiler:his reputation ruined by the end]].
