The hero rankings in question take the heroes’ performance and popularity into account. Furthermore, these rankings reflect the scores of the heroes after the time skip. Naturally, the likes of Bakugo Katsuki would be included on this list.

Ever since he stepped foot into the U.A., he swore to become one of the strongest fighters. He backed his words with actions in the manga. He took on All For One and defeated him. Bakugo Katsuki delivered the final blow to the main antagonist of the series.

This is a clear indication of his strength and resolve. He might not be the most popular hero among the citizens of Japan. However, he gets the job done and is more than capable of taking on any threat that comes their way.

The fanbase is upset because Bakugo Katsuki is ranked 15th. Bakugo Katsuki has all the elements to be in the top 5. However, seeing the pyromaniac in the fifteenth position has unsettled the fanbase.

How the My Hero Academia fanbase reacted to Bakugo’s ranking on the list?

It's quite clear that most fans are surprised to see Bakugo in the 15th spot. Here are the comments by some X users:

"Wtf is baku doing at 15 did Horikoshi get hacked", said one fan

"My goat cannot be 15th, this is unfair", said another

"Bakugou really at 15? Lol", said one netizen

Netizens are wondering what could be the reason behind this decision. Furthermore, they wonder if Horikoshi worked on the list in the right state of mind.

"I wouldn’t say it’s his control of his quirk, it’s his temper. Chapter before reveals he dropped in rank cause of his attitude and him mouthing of to fans so it makes sense. It’s not about power but how people perceive you", said one fan

"He's rude to his fans", said another

There are plenty of My Hero Academia fans who believe that ranking him 15th is fair. There is no doubt that he could be one of the highest-ranked heroes. However, he has a bit of a temper issue and the general public is afraid of him. Furthermore, he can be quite rude to his own fanbase, especially if they are in his way.

Conclusion

Bakugo's rank has shocked the entire fanbase, especially after seeing Kirishima rank higher than him. However, this makes sense because public image plays a huge role. His skills are more than enough to take on strong villains. However, his temperament isn't particularly reassuring, which is probably why he is ranked 15th in the series.
