MY HERO ACADEMIA - Katsuki Bakugo - Fig. A Story of Reaching out 23cm

Discover Katsuki Bakugo in an intense portrayal inspired by the latest battles in *My Hero Academia* with this figurine from the Ichibansho collection. Produced by Banpresto / Bandai Spirits, this ‘A Story of Reaching Out Forever’ version depicts the young hero in his heavily damaged battle suit, yet still driven by fierce determination.

Bakugo is depicted standing, arms outstretched before him and a defiant smile on his lips. His tousled blonde hair, closed eyes and the visible marks on his face reflect the exhaustion accumulated during the battle. His posture, however, retains all the character’s confidence, as if he were preparing to launch a new attack despite his injuries.

The sculpture pays particular attention to the condition of his gear. His black suit is criss-crossed by the orange stripes characteristic of his heroic identity, whilst his shoulder pads, armour and parts of his sleeves appear torn or tattered. The battle scars on his face and outfit reinforce the battle-damaged finish of this edition.

The imposing grenades usually attached to his forearms are no longer present, revealing his reinforced green gloves. His belt, metal knee pads and boots with orange soles are reproduced with numerous raised details and mechanical features. Measuring approximately 23 cm, this Masterlise figure is the perfect size for a prominent display in a collection dedicated to the series’ heroes.

Character background and lore

Katsuki Bakugo is one of the leading students on the Hero Course at Yuei High School. A childhood friend and rival of Izuku Midoriya, he possesses a Quirk called Explosion. The sweat from his palms contains a substance similar to nitroglycerine, which he can detonate at will, both to attack and to propel himself at high speed.

His hot-headed temperament, aggressive language and immense self-confidence mask a particularly demanding ambition. Bakugo refuses to settle for an easy victory and constantly strives to improve so that he can become a hero capable of surpassing All Might. His natural talent for combat is complemented by a keen tactical sense and a great ability to adapt.

As the story unfolds, his relationship with Izuku undergoes a profound change. Behind their rivalry, mutual understanding and respect begin to develop, whilst Bakugo gradually learns to recognise his mistakes and accept help from others. The ‘A Story of Reaching Out Forever’ collection reflects this evolution and the series’ central theme: the determination to reach out to someone in danger, even when the battle seems lost.
