Alright, let’s talk about Bakugou Katsuki. Specifically, how old he is in Season 4 of My Hero Academia. It's a question that's probably crossed your mind, right?
The Obvious Answer
The official answer is easy. He's 16 years old. Case closed? Not quite!
He starts the season still 15. Then he celebrates his birthday on April 20th. That makes him officially a sweet sixteen.
But Wait, There's More!
Here’s where things get a little… interesting. Age is just a number, right? Especially in anime.
Consider Bakugou's maturity, or lack thereof! He's got the explosive power of a seasoned hero, but the emotional intelligence of a grumpy kitten sometimes.
Let's be real, sometimes he acts like he's perpetually stuck at 13.
Unpopular Opinion Time!
Okay, here’s my slightly controversial take. Bakugou's mental age fluctuates WILDLY.
Sometimes he's a grizzled war veteran trapped in a teenager's body. Other times, he’s throwing a tantrum because he didn't get the limited-edition All Might figurine.
Don't judge me, you know it's true! He is complicated character and we love him for that.
Exhibit A: His Competitiveness
Bakugou's competitive streak is legendary. He wants to be the best, no matter what. Sounds pretty driven, right?
But sometimes that drive manifests as petty rivalry. Think: screaming at Midoriya about surpassing him again. A tad childish, wouldn't you say?
Exhibit B: His Explosions (Duh!)
Let's be honest, the dude communicates primarily through explosions. Words are secondary.
It's effective? Yes. Mature? Debatable! Remember when he wanted to change his hero name to "King Explosion Murder"? Definitely feels like a teenager's fantasy.
So, How Old *Does* He Act?
If we're being generous, I'd say Bakugou acts anywhere between 14 and 25. It really depends on the day and who he's interacting with.
Around Kirishima? Probably closer to 20. Around Midoriya? Back to middle school, apparently!
He is still growing and learning. Season 4 showed us a glipse of his maturity.
The Verdict
Technically, Bakugou is 16 in Season 4. The anime says so. The calendar says so.
But mentally? Emotionally? He's a glorious, unpredictable mess. A wonderfully complex teenager, going through a lot.
And honestly, that's what makes him such a compelling and entertaining character to watch. We get to see him grow.
In Conclusion
So, the next time you're watching My Hero Academia, remember: Bakugou's age is a spectrum. Enjoy the ride!
He might act like a grumpy grandpa one minute, and a hyperactive kid the next. That's just part of his charm.
Embrace the chaos! Bakugou Katsuki, forever a teenager, no matter his chronological age.
