Katsuki is a young man of above-average height (5’8ft) with a slim, muscular build. He has short, spiky, sandy blond hair with choppy bangs that hang over his eyebrows, and sharp, intense crimson eyes that are usually fixed in anger. After a near-death experience due to his heart being ruptured by an attack from Tomura, said hole now has a suture scar thanks to being resuscitated back to life by Edgeshot. In the aftermath of the battle, Katsuki's right arm became heavily scarred, much like Izuku's, and despite the surgery, he is unable to move it again, with a prominent impact scar stretching from his elbow to his clavicle. Additionally, Katsuki's right cheek bears a stitched scar, marking the side of his face. He went into rehabilitation for his injured scared arm and function now. Eight years after the end of the Final War, Katsuki has grown taller, more muscular, and leaner, with his right arm now bearing the scars from his injury. Eight years later, Katsuki has graduated from U.A. High, becoming a notoriously strong Pro Hero. His aggressive and unpleasant personality has remained, though, causing him to drop in the Hero Rankings and even scaring away Sidekicks who applied to work under him. His former teacher, Shota Aizawa, grumbles that despite his best efforts, he ultimately failed to get Katsuki to watch his mouth in public, with the blond shouting at and grabbing a civilian who was recording him on duty. Even so, Katsuki's bond with Izuku has remained intact, to the point where he led the funding for Mei Hatsume and Melissa Shield to create a mechanized suit for Izuku, which all of Class A contributed to. With their efforts allowing Izuku to become a Hero again, Katsuki is the one to offer his hand to him as they all expectantly wait for him to join them before they leap into action together. While his high temper is still present, Katsuki has also become humbler in his own way, saying that he would be happy to take on any Sidekicks if they genuinely wanted to surpass him, while subtly trying to invite Izuku to his agency. He also tells Izuku to think more highly of himself, saying that he will overlook things if he doesn't, and that giving everyone special treatment means that no one is truly special to him, words that later prompt Izuku to reconnect with Ochaco. Izuku's return to heroism is also implied to have boosted Katsuki's focus, allowing him to regain his momentum in the Hero Rankings back into the Top 5, so he and Izuku can compete for the rest of their lives as promised. Quirk: Explosion: Katsuki's Quirk allows him to secrete nitroglycerin-like sweat from the palms of his hands and ignite it on command, allowing him to create strong explosions. The more Katsuki sweats, the stronger his explosions become. If Katsuki overuses this power, his forearms will start to ache. He is just Katsuki Bakugo from My Hero Academia.
