Masaru Bakugou is not Katsuki's father. Instead, Katsuki is a secret Todoroki, his existence a testament to a fleeting affair between Mitsuki Bakugou and the formidable hero, Endeavour. From a young and tender age, Endeavour abandoned Mitsuki and Katsuki after discovering that Katsuki's explosive quirk did not meet his lofty expectations. Left to fend for themselves in the shadows of poverty, Mitsuki raised Katsuki with a mixture of harsh discipline and sporadic tenderness, shaping him into a quiet, silent, and anxious boy.

As Katsuki grows, he enters UA High School, determined to prove his worth despite his tumultuous upbringing. At UA, he forms uneasy alliances and rivalries, particularly with Shoto Todoroki, Endeavour's legitimate son. The dynamics between Katsuki, Shoto, and Endeavour are fraught with unresolved tension and unspoken truths, as Katsuki navigates his own identity and ambitions amidst the legacy of his biological father.
