Katsuki Bakugo/Relationships

Izuku Midoriya
Katsuki and Izuku were playmates during their childhood, but Katsuki always considered the latter as a hindrance, an obstacle, in his path to becoming the greatest hero. Although he felt superior to Izuku, there are times where he feels that Izuku was making fun of him, such as when Izuku saved him, or due to Izuku "hiding the fact that he had a Quirk all this time". As of now, Katsuki sees Izuku as his arch rival and has always shown hostility towards Izuku whenever he interacts with him. Katsuki's antagonism towards Izuku is so great that even when teamed up with Izuku, Katsuki ignored whatever he suggested and went as far as to say that he doesn't need his help. However, after Katsuki stated to All Might he would rather lose that accept help from others caused Izuku to punch him in the face stating he's not the type to just give up like that. Though reluctant, Katsuki got the message and finally worked together with Izuku and willingly protected him from All Might so he could get to the finish line.

Even still, Katsuki still is antagonistic to him, refusing his help when the League of Villains was targeting him and told him to stay back when he was captured.

Eijirou Kirishima
Katsuki seems to get along well with Kirishima, despite their differing personalities. Eijirou looks up to Katsuki's explosive attitude, often interpreting his actions as manly, something he appears to highly value, but he's not above getting frustrated with Katsuki's tendencies, seen when he tries to get him to cool off after Monoma insulted them during the cavalry battle. Although Katsuki at first didn't give him much attention, he seems to appreciate their Quirks' compatibility with each other, as he accepted Ejirou's proposal to form a team during the Human Cavalry Battle. He was also unable to remember Eijirou's name, calling him "hedgehog hair" (despite having spiky hair himself), which bothered Eijirou.

Shouto Todoroki
Katsuki sees Shouto as another rival and someone that he needs to defeat to become Number One. When Shouto and Izuku talked to each other after the Human Cavalry Battle, Katsuki secretly overheard Shouto's backstory, with a seemingly surprised expression on his face after hearing it. Despite hearing Shouto's tragic backstory, Katsuki showed no sympathy towards Shouto and even said that he didn't care about Shouto's problems or feelings. After their battle in the Sports Festival, Katsuki despises Shouto due to him not giving him a battle worthy enough of being called Number One. Katsuki's hatred of Shouto caused him to be fully restrained during the closing ceremony of the Sports Festival to prevent him from unleashing his fury onto Shouto.

However, Katsuki seems to have gotten over this as the two were seen having a normal conversation during their training at the lodge cabin, thus Katsuki and Shouto appear to be neutral with each other.

Ochako Uraraka
Katsuki doesn't bother to interact with Ochako, most likely due to her being friends with Izuku. They first interact during the Sports Festival tournament when they have to face each other in the first round, with Katsuki in his own way had offered Ochako the chance to withdraw as he will show her no mercy even if she is a girl. Before the end of their match, Katsuki used her last name before finishing her off, indicating that Katsuki respects Ochako's perseverance (as he usually doesn't remember peoples' names). He even went out of his way to say that Ochako wasn't fragile, even when his classmates said that she was. Ochako is the only girl Katsuki actually acknowledges. His nickname for her is "round face."

All Might
Similarly to Izuku and Shouto, Katsuki idolized All Might as a child. While very little of this respect and admiration remains; it seemed to have a strong impact on Katsuki's belief in what a hero should be. Despite Katsuki's aggressive nature, All Might repeatedly attempts to guide him whenever possible. Although his advice often fallen on deaf ears and All Might is often unsettled by Katsuki's behavior, be it his aggression or his reckless drive.

Unfortunately, despite his admiration, Katsuki does not hesitate to either insult or challenge All Might to a fight, refusing to run away when he fought him, only to suffer a humiliating defeat, just as Izuku stated. He was also angry and embarrassed that he had to be saved by All Might when he was kidnapped and even refused to thank him.
