I thought he was going to talk about something with Deku, but it was a good moment for Bakugo too.

While I have quite a few issues with MHA, I did like the Deku/Bakugo thing. Deku starts out as a good person and retains his good character and ideals even after being confronted with a bunch of events and information that challenges them to their core. Bakugo begins as a bad person with real character flaws and rather than succumbing to them when offered a number of opportunities and reasons to he instead devotes hard long term work into becoming a better person. This despite his not getting much of anything in return. Bakugo, while a successful pro hero, will never fulfill the great expectations society placed on him since he was a small child or his own personal goals. Bakugo never had the father figures that Deku got with All Might and Gran Torino. Doesn't have the close relationship with his physically violent verbally abusive and ill-tempered mother that Deku has with his mother. Doesn't have siblings like Todoroki and Ingenium. Doesn't have close friends or female admirers like Deku (or even Koichi from MHA Vigilantes). Etc. Bakugo is being good for good's own sake. IMHO it makes him a more compelling character.
