Bakugo is getting Bansho Tenin’ed or Chibaku Tensei’ed due to that absurd LS gap.

I’m not sure the speed gap he has with cluster will be that significant due to the shared vision amongst the paths of pain, and i doubt Bakugo will figure out how they operate before getting his ass jumped to death.
 
Bakugo being naturally bloodlusted may be able to blitz or AOE' some of them, but he would be unable to figure out how the Pain works, giving them time to calmly defeat him with black stakes.

I don't remember Bakugo worrying about completely incinerating an opponent who had already been defeated.
 
Bakugo is >1.68c, scaling to being way faster than AFO who is > AM who is 1.68. When he uses Cluster in speed equal against the Pains, they are getting basically blitzed.

Pain pulling Bakugo towards him will result in Deva Path dying. Bakugo will just blast his face off with massive AoE. And Chibaku Tensei is likely not going to be used before that point considering how fast Bakugo is going to be compared to the Pains. Even if it was, Bakugo blows it up with kilometers wide explosion spam, his weaker High 7-C key created a blast that was nearly half the size of Chibaku Tensei, and he would notice the core of it that needs to be destroyed.

The pains can’t really jump him because they’re all 7-B, he one shots all of them unless Nagato realizes the gap in strength and ditches all but Deva near immediately.

Bakugo is likely starting the fight off with just blasting to the Pains and letting off hundreds of meters wide explosions to one shot all of them in a single go. Whats the counter to that? His explosions aren’t chakra, they’re physical, so they can’t be absorbed, and he can spawn them from his entire body so restraining or pulling him doesn’t do anything.

Bakugo doesn’t really need to learn how the Pain’s work. He just needs to speed gap and one shot all of them before they’re a problem, which he can do even if only one Pain is active due to his heat letting him literally cook their faces off. A single explosion from him is catching basically all of the Pains, and he can spam them.

The bigger issue is that he can’t really find Nagato, but I guess if he renders all the Pain bodies unusable, then Nagato can’t do anything to him either. It wouldn’t be hard for Bakugo to deduce that there is another Pain hidden somewhere he just wouldn’t really find him if he’s hidden.

2.12 times is not even close to a blitz

Deva path uses shinra tensei majority of the time. It's most likely bakugo dies to it than getting pulled towards him
The pains can’t really jump him because they’re all 7-B, he one shots all of them unless Nagato realizes the gap in strength and ditches all but Deva near immediately.
Read the profile. The pains are 7b when they are far from him. Check the justification for his 6B, it's for example when he was in the hidden rain and was close to the bodies. So unless we're assuming pains real body starts hundreds of kilometres away? They are all 6B and yeah they do jump him.

Bakugo won't even be able to deal with the summon that when you hit it , it splits and becomes more , there's also a guy with missiles and explosives like bakugo all while tendo chills and could blast him to oblivion at any time

They all survive, bakugo has just a 2x ap advantage plus a blast hundreds of metres, the part that hits the bodies would be far less than his total ap value.. The guy with missiles can also counter with his own explosions

I don't see this happening in anyway. One omnidirectionally shinra tensei and bakugo is smashed into a pulp

Forget nagato.. he's not even seeing tendo.

Nagato fights by keeping tendo invisible from a distance with his chameleon and fighting with his summons. One of which when you attack it, it just splits of and becomes stronger. Bakugo probably dies to that without even figuring out what is happening..if he doesn't he just gets shinra tensei to oblivion by the invisible pain.

By the way it took ESP from jiraiya sage mode to sense jiraiya. Bakugo has none of that
 
Pain pulling Bakugo towards him will result in Deva Path dying. Bakugo will just blast his face off with massive AoE.
Bakugo won’t be able to move when he’s getting pulled in due to the massive LS gap (about 10 million times); even if he’s farther away, the gravitational pull he’d have to overcome to move a finger would still be higher than his current LS value.

Not to mention that Pain can just yank his soul out or paralyze him once he draws him close enough.
The pains can’t really jump him because they’re all 7-B, he one shots all of them unless Nagato realizes the gap in strength and ditches all but Deva near immediately.
This is wrong.
All paths are 6-B usually and they get weaker based on how far they are away from Nagato. When they’re close enough, just the Animal path is strong enough to critically damage Sage Jiraiya. So yes, he will get jumped.
 
2.12 times is not even close to a blitz

He’s not 2.12 times, he’s way faster than 2.12 times. Armored All Might is 1.68c and Bakugō speed gaps tf out of Rewind AFO who treated Armored All Might like a joke even when he wasn’t as rage amped.

Why would he die to an attack over 2x weaker than himself? Shinra Tensei gets withstood easily, Bakugo is stronger than Pain.

Then the issue becomes the heat of his explosions which can incinerate their faces and cook their eyes out of their skulls. Bakugo negates durability via Heat so he can kill Paths regardless. Also, is the claim then that the Paths can tank Bijuudama? Last I checked, Full Power Tendo was not being scaled to even an incompletely KN6 Bijuudama which would have severely hurt, if not killed him.

None of that matters if Bakugo blasts forward and immediately starts destroying Pains before they do anything. Animal Path dog is a maybe on coming out before Bakugo has already dealt with the Animal Path, and Bakugo can just ignore the dog if he sees it’s not dying, it’s not like it is ever gonna be a threat to him when he’s faster.

Asura Path is literally fodder, Bakugo can block and blow up all of its attacks and outspeed it to destroy it utterly, blast spam is tearing it to pieces. Sage Naruto one shot Asura Path and Bakugo is stronger than Sage Naruto by a wide margin, especially with Cluster explosions.

The heat of Bakugo’s explosions will instantly incinerate the Pains faces. Even from afar, Bakugo’s explosions can burn your face off. If he’s even somewhat close to them, he can burn their eyes out of their skulls from sheer heat just like he did AFO, who only survived cause of his regen. His AP is comparable to a Bijuudama. And how does Asura counter with his own explosions? What does that even mean? Bakugo has a way better arsenal in every way than Asura who is weaker and slower, he’s not landing a single hit on Bakugo and is getting dismantled near instantly.

Yes, Bakugo does. He is not 2.12x faster, he scales to speed gapping AFO who treated All Might who is 2.12x faster like trash.

Shinra Tensei is weaker than Bakugo’s durability. Pain’s most powerful possible technique, Chibaku Tensei, would get endured by Bakugo easier than 6 tails Naruto. And he would blow it up like Itachi, B and Naruto did, just even easier because he would immediately notice the core and go to explode it with attacks almost as big as the CT itself before it’s even fully formed.
Forget nagato.. he's not even seeing tendo.

Nagato fights by keeping tendo invisible from a distance with his chameleon and fighting with his summons. One of which when you attack it, it just splits of and becomes stronger. Bakugo probably dies to that without even figuring out what is happening..if he doesn't he just gets shinra tensei to oblivion by the invisible pain.

By the way it took ESP from jiraiya sage mode to sense jiraiya. Bakugo has none of that
Bakugo would stomp Tendo 1v1, Tendo maybe can block his first attack with Shinra Tensei but after that he is cooked.

Bakugo is starting at a distance where he can see all of the Pains. He’s automatically gonna know there are six of them and is gonna just see who goes invisible if they summon the chameleon first. The Pains don’t have prep time, they’re starting (via SBA) 4km from Bakugo, who in speed equal, is clearing that distance in seconds via Cluster being way faster than the Pains (it is not just a 2.12x amp). They are barely having any time to do anything before Bakugo is on them.

Also Bakugo is probably smart enough to find the Chameleon. Idk how it’s invisibility works, but if it’s based off camouflaging or just by going standard invisible, Bakugo will just make massive light attacks to find an anomaly or at the very least blind the thing. Does the chameleon have a shadow?

The dog gets ignored the moment Bakugo realizes he can’t kill it, it’s never catching him. Shinra Tensei is not strong enough to damage Bakugo worse than he’s always been hurt in his fights and he’ll just blast back to Deva path immediately. Asura path is getting stomped. The other Paths can’t do anything to him in combat as they’re all close quarters and he destroys them. He is faster than all of the Pains and can one shot kill them via heat dura negation that incinerates them.

To put in perspective: Bakugo’s causal explosions are comparable to a Bijuudama, which would kill Pain instantly. His cluster explosions are insanely more powerful than that. Bakugo is going to be one shotting the Paths unless there’s a durability justification I’m missing that lets them endure Bijudama level attacks.
 
Bakugo won’t be able to move when he’s getting pulled in due to the massive LS gap (about 10 million times); even if he’s farther away, the gravitational pull he’d have to overcome to move a finger would still be higher than his current LS value.

All paths are 6-B usually and they get weaker based on how far they are away from Nagato. When they’re close enough, just the Animal path is strong enough to critically damage Sage Jiraiya. So yes, he will get jumped.
He doesn’t need to move. He can create explosions that encompass his entire body for hundreds of meters without a single movement other than willing his body to explode. Pain pulls him close and gets Kamikaze’d

He would have to touch Bakugo to do that, which would = dying instantly to heat that sears his face off and AP gap that breaks all their bones.

Noted that all of them are 7 teratons and noted to be far weaker than KN6 Bijuudama to the point that an attack weaker than Bakugo’s casual explosions would likely kill them.

Like, correct me if I’m wrong, but Gyuki and the like downscale from their Bijuudama because they are way, way weaker than it, yeah? And Pain is scaling around that level as well. Bakugo is physically a living Bijuudama. He should be ragdolling the Pains and breaking their bodies with every attack if not out right killing them, and that’s not accounting for the severe heat that DOES kill them via melting their flesh like he did AFO.

Several thousand Celsius explosions should literally kill the Pains instantly if they are near him.

Just for clarity, what value is Bakugo’s heat in degrees?

If it’s anything less than lightning heat, i’m unsure if he’d be incinerating anything. Pain should have better chakra control than the likes of Part 1 Rock Lee who could withstand Raiga’s lightning while in the air for a period of time, or Kakashi who could survive Kakuzu’s false darkness with minor burns, so what’s the value?
He would have to touch Bakugo to do that, which would = dying instantly to heat that sears his face off and AP gap that breaks all their bones.
A 2x AP gap is not enough to “break their bones,” when considering Pain’s resilience when it comes to tanking attacks above his pay grade. Regardless of that, any damage sustained can be healed by the King of Hell, and Bakugo won’t be able to grasp why they keep coming back since he can’t see the King of Hell.

With the strategy Pain starts with, Bakugo won’t be able to access the Naraka Path, and since he can’t see the King of Hell, he can’t deduce that it’s the one responsible for restoring the other Paths. He would eventually be left frustrated by the ability, and just like anybody else, he would think they’re truly immortal.
Noted that all of them are 7 teratons and noted to be far weaker than KN6 Bijuudama to the point that an attack weaker than Bakugo’s casual explosions would likely kill them.
No? they’re not far weaker than KN6 Bijuudama

The Asura Path literally survived a bijuudama here

Is he weaker than it? Sure. But it’s not the one shot gap you think it is.

Not way way weaker, they just downscale because they are weaker, but can still withstand their own bombs, i’d prefer to use the term low end relative.

Gyuki can withstand his casual Bijuudama with mild injuries, that’s where the scaling starts from.

5000 c

Going by that logic, Bakugo has over lightning temp heat since he can burn Deku who did the exact same lightning feat against Nine, being shocked in the air by a direct lightning bolt from the sky for several seconds without any burns afterwards. Pain doesn't have any heat resistance on his profile. Also both of those examples would be electricity resistance, not heat, same as Deku unless I'm missing something on why those aren't on the profile. Also, saying a weaker character could do something so another stronger character can is innacurate without proper reasoning, which I don't see on the profile.

Bakugo is going for all of the Pains out the jump, so even in a prolonged fight, he'd just start figuring out what they do based on what they don't do. Its quite obvious what each Pain can do outside of the absorbing one and the resurrecting one, so assuming he doesn't already kill them via heat in the first few minutes, he'd figure out to take them out next. He would not think they're immortal, he'd just assume to take them all out at the same time or that they're linked. Bakugo isn't stupid.

Partially charged bijuudama. And if its not a one shot, sure, he still dies to the heat.

So they are weaker than Bakugo and so are all of their attacks by the same metric. Bakugo's cluster attacks are immensely stronger than 18 teratons, the insane damage they would do to the Pains can't exactly be understated either. Claiming they can tank several >Bijuudama attacks is not consistent, even if it's not a one shot. Bakugo does dozens of attacks at a time via explosion spams, his clusters are literally several explosions at the same time beyond his 18 teraton normal explosions. But even beyond that, they die to the heat anyway.

The value is from the heat of nitroglycerin explosions being 5000 c, and being superior to the Todoroki fam where 2000c is a baseline from child Dabi. And by your own example, Bakugo has beyond lightning heat from burning Deku who withstands lightning, and even burning All Might in a way weaker key who is the same as Deku. But that isn't on either profile so it shouldn't be used.
 
He’s not 2.12 times, he’s way faster than 2.12 times. Armored All Might is 1.68c and Bakugō speed gaps tf out of Rewind AFO who treated Armored All Might like a joke even when he wasn’t as rage amped.
You can't read? Scaling chains only matter when speed is not equalised. Speed is equalised so they start at the same exact speed . Bakugo then gets 2x faster with cluster and even this is closed by pains shunshin
Why would he die to an attack over 2x weaker than himself? Shinra Tensei gets withstood easily, Bakugo is stronger than Pain.
The attack literally flattens him and turns him into paste due to the absurd lifting strength value. Buddy this is gravity pull
Then the issue becomes the heat of his explosions which can incinerate their faces and cook their eyes out of their skulls. Bakugo negates durability via Heat so he can kill Paths regardless. Also, is the claim then that the Paths can tank Bijuudama? Last I checked, Full Power Tendo was not being scaled to even an incompletely KN6 Bijuudama which would have severely hurt, if not killed him.
The heat isn't a problem. Pain heat resistance
None of that matters if Bakugo blasts forward and immediately starts destroying Pains before they do anything. Animal Path dog is a maybe on coming out before Bakugo has already dealt with the Animal Path, and Bakugo can just ignore the dog if he sees it’s not dying, it’s not like it is ever gonna be a threat to him when he’s faster.
He can't do that. He is only a bit faster than them and a bit stronger. All of their attacks would hurt him badly, not to mention tendo still one shots him .

He can't ignore several dogs capable of hurting 6B characters and keeping up with them . They would destroy him
Asura Path is literally fodder, Bakugo can block and blow up all of its attacks and outspeed it to destroy it utterly, blast spam is tearing it to pieces. Sage Naruto one shot Asura Path and Bakugo is stronger than Sage Naruto by a wide margin, especially with Cluster explosions.
No he can't. Their attacks literally have similar ap value. Bakugo is less than 3 times stronger, with enough missiles he would match it. He is also not blitzing a rinnengan user he is slightly faster than
The heat of Bakugo’s explosions will instantly incinerate the Pains faces. Even from afar, Bakugo’s explosions can burn your face off.

??? Stop comparing in verse stuff in Vs battle and saying stuff like comparable to a bijuu bomb. Read pain profile, the particular bijuu bomb you're yapping about, it's part of his justification that he overpowered it and it was only one body
Yes, Bakugo does. He is not 2.12x faster, he scales to speed gapping AFO who treated All Might who is 2.12x faster like trash.
Broski what part of speed equalised don't you understand?
Shinra Tensei is weaker than Bakugo’s durability. Pain’s most powerful possible technique, Chibaku Tensei, would get endured by Bakugo easier than 6 tails Naruto. And he would blow it up like Itachi, B and Naruto did, just even easier because he would immediately notice the core and go to explode it with attacks almost as big as the CT itself before it’s even fully formed.
No the LS of shinra tensei turns bakugo to paste. The LS of chibaku tensei turns bakugo to paste. What kind of ass arguments are these?
Bakugo would stomp Tendo 1v1, Tendo maybe can block his first attack with Shinra Tensei but after that he is cooked.
Blocking with shinra tensei immediately makes bakugo die to the LS
Bakugo is starting at a distance where he can see all of the Pains. He’s automatically gonna know there are six of them and is gonna just see who goes invisible if they summon the chameleon first. The Pains don’t have prep time, they’re starting (via SBA) 4km from Bakugo, who in speed equal, is clearing that distance in seconds via Cluster being way faster than the Pains (it is not just a 2.12x amp). They are barely having any time to do anything before Bakugo is on them.
I see bakugo has the sharingan and can see and pinpoint all of them from 4km away. He can also tell where tendo moves to immediately he goes invisible right? Even though he is invincible. Sure bro
Also Bakugo is probably smart enough to find the Chameleon. Idk how it’s invisibility works, but if it’s based off camouflaging or just by going standard invisible, Bakugo will just make massive light attacks to find an anomaly or at the very least blind the thing. Does the chameleon have a shadow?
The chameleon has nothing. The only way to sense it is through esp
The dog gets ignored the moment Bakugo realizes he can’t kill it, it’s never catching him.

Tired of repeating the same thing. He gets crushed to paste by the LS
To put in perspective: Bakugo’s causal explosions are comparable to a Bijuudama, which would kill Pain instantly. His cluster explosions are insanely more powerful than that. Bakugo is going to be one shotting the Paths unless there’s a durability justification I’m missing that lets them endure Bijudama level attacks.
No pain was totally fine from a bijuudama, he also overpowered it, read the damn justifications
 
Going by that logic, Bakugo has over lightning temp heat since he can burn Deku who did the exact same lightning feat against Nine, being shocked in the air by a direct lightning bolt from the sky for several seconds without any burns afterwards. Pain doesn't have any heat resistance on his profile.

Except in Lee’s case, it’s accepted in a CRT, and just hasn’t been widely applied, Net is working on that.

I don’t remember Nine’s case, and i won’t directly equate it to this since at the moment it’s not accepted, but i vaguely remember Deku and Bakugo on the ground when the lightning struck. But regardless of its validity, it’s not accepted at the moment.

And it’s not just a case where X is stronger than Y, so therefore he must have Z abilities; no. It’s about chakra control and coating. It’s the same exact reason we give ice manipulation resistance to Shinobi who have greater or similar chakra control to the likes of Kakashi.
Bakugo is going for all of the Pains out the jump, so even in a prolonged fight, he'd just start figuring out what they do based on what they don't do. Its quite obvious what each Pain can do outside of the absorbing one and the resurrecting one, so assuming he doesn't already kill them via heat in the first few minutes, he'd figure out to take them out next. He would not think they're immortal, he'd just assume to take them all out at the same time or that they're linked. Bakugo isn't stupid.
No one is saying he’s stupid. There’s more to fighting with extreme intellect than just being above average. You’re equating Katsuki to being a better fighter than Jiraiya, or literally anyone who got beaten by Pain’s ability (which would include Hanzo).

So yeah, let’s just go out on a limb and assume he’s a better and smarter fighter, not that he is, but we’re just assuming here. Then what? Pain isn’t a standing stone; he’s actively looking for methods to end the battle, and he’d be gradually luring Bakugo into a move that’ll seal the match. Due to all the Pains being puppets in a way, it’ll be very hard to land a move because of their inhumane movements and shared vision. Unless Bakugo has a move equivalent to Naruto’s level of predictive analysis and counters, he won’t land a clean hit.

If Bakugo decides to spam massive AOE attacks, that won’t make a difference because only a fraction of the energy will actually hit Pain, making it far less significant than a concentrated attack. Not to add that Pain’s prior win condition still applies, and Bakugo can’t really burn Pain; thus, he will inevitably have his soul yanked out with a Bansho Ten’in + Human Path combo.

Also, since this is an SBA match, wouldn’t the Preta Path be able to absorb Bakugo’s flames since they’re made of energy, much like chakra? If that’s the case, this match just became even more one-sided.
Partially charged bijuudama. And if it’s not a one shot, sure, he still dies to the heat.
Cool, the ‘partially charged’ Bijuudama is still ~14 teratons, but hey, you get the point.

He dies to what heat again? I’m not sure he’s dying to anything here, except there’s more to what I’ve addressed.
So they are weaker than Bakugo and so are all of their attacks by the same metric. Bakugo's cluster attacks are immensely stronger than 18 teratons, the insane damage they would do to the Pains can't exactly be understated either. Claiming they can tank several >Bijuudama attacks is not consistent, even if it's not a one shot. Bakugo does dozens of attacks at a time via explosion spams, his clusters are literally several explosions at the same time beyond his 18 teraton normal explosions. But even beyond that, they die to the heat anyway.
Sure, it can’t be understated, but the point here is that while it’ll do damage, it’s not the one-shot you think it is. Bakugo’s massive AOE attack is only 1.2x above what Pain has withstood, and if he decides to spam it, Pain won’t just stand by and watch him like it’s a cinema. With the Substitution Jutsu, he can move out of the way if push comes to shove.

With the Animal Path, he can summon dozens of creatures that Bakugo will have to be wary of, with one being nearly invincible and able to attack him from multiple angles, throwing him off balance. Each of these animals has a significant LS difference since they’re comparable to the likes of Gamabunta, and they can easily restrain Bakugo. So they will definitely be an issue if Bakugo wants to keep spamming attacks in Pain’s direction.
The value is from the heat of nitroglycerin explosions being 5000 c, and being superior to the Todoroki fam where 2000c is a baseline from child Dabi. And by your own example, Bakugo has beyond lightning heat from burning Deku who withstands lightning, and even burning All Might in a way weaker key who is the same as Deku. But that isn't on either profile so it shouldn't be used.
5000c cool
It isn’t doing shit, respectfully.

Edit: If it isn’t clear enough, I’m voting Pain.

If it’s anything less than lightning heat, i’m unsure if he’d be incinerating anything. Pain should have better chakra control than the likes of Part 1 Rock Lee who could withstand Raiga’s lightning while in the air for a period of time, or Kakashi who could survive Kakuzu’s false darkness with minor burns, so what’s the value?
I should make a CRT about this stuff.

Izuku also survived a sustained lightning bolt for several seconds while in midair.

Also, since this is an SBA match, wouldn’t the Preta Path be able to absorb Bakugo’s flames since they’re made of energy, much like chakra? If that’s the case, this match just became even more one-sided.
That's not how that works.

Bakugo's explosions are just a natural blast to the Naruto verse. It's a fictional chemical reaction. We don't equalize stuff like that. MHA doesn't have an energy system like Naruto does, so there is nothing to equalize. If Preta Path can absorb natural explosions, then you are correct, but not because of verse equalization.

Anyway, I'm also voting for Pain here. That LS gap is massive, and there's nothing Bakugo can do to stop it.

He lacks the AP to one-shot outside of his Howitzer, but that takes time to charge up.

Bakugo is good, but he's never dealt with anyone who has Pain's abilities.

Pain has more victory conditions. Bakugo has to beat all six of them. While he has the AP advantage, it's not enough to kill them quickly enough. Their heat resistance, even if we took into account possible lightning scaling for MHA that doesn't exist yet, wouldn't be enough to one-shot them either.
 
Now idk about chibaku tensei but isn't bansho tenen and shinra tensei just push and pull? Yeah it would easily pull and push him away with the LS diff but idk if it would actually crush him since those abilities don't Inherently do that


Anyways those aside, I'm also voting for pain, bakugos speed amps get cleared by shunshin and shared vision, both have comparable heat stuff so the heat from explosions won't play too much of a factor.

Pain has multiple ways to easily manipulate the pace of the fight either with summons (some of which are basically unkillible), pushing and pulling him into things, abusing the king of hell and all the other stuff the rinegann has acess too and he's even overwhelmed arguably smarter individuals like jiraya so it would extremely difficult for bakugo to properly adapt to all of this before pain catches him off guard with things like soul absorption or just stabbing and crippling/pinning him down with chakra rods.
 
Bakugo team Up with Final War Arc Shoto and Deku would be more Fair
Deku wouldve washed Pain alone unfortunately
i was thinking about giving Bakugo prior knowledge in the form of a debrief with Ma and Pa
 
That ******* multi-headed dog summon is gonna be one of the biggest pains in the ass for Bakugo because it can regenerate and get stronger.
