He serves as an antagonist of sorts early on, but yeah - he's mostly just got a terrible personality. He wants to do the right thing, he's just bad at it. He transitions into a more typical rival role after a while, but he's still got that awful personality.

I'd have to refresh my memory, but... he's totally an antagonist in the first arc or two.

He's not really an antagonist, and he's definitely not a villain.

It is a Simuldub on the Funimation app. They did fall behind because of Covid, but have apparently found a way to continue and have started releasing new episodes again.
Yeah at times he takes up the role of being an antagonist briefly, but I'd argue that using the term for anyone who is temporarily opposed to the protagonist can be really murky really quickly in a story that is this long and with a cast this big, because that happens basically any time there is training, a disagreement or some sort of tournament thing.
Bakugo has definitely served as a temporary antagonist more often than most other indefinite cast members, though, which is why he's absolutely a rival character.
Bakugo: Starts in an antagonistic capacity and then has a slow transition to rival that doesn't finish until his fight against Midoriya after Kamino Ward.
Todoroki: I'd guess antagonist during the Sports Festival, then transitions to friend? I'd say a similar journey to Bakugo's only much faster.
Stain: Villain. Full stop.
Gentile: Villain. A sympathetic one but a villain none the less.
Bakugo was definitely an antagonist for the first part of the story. His goal ran directly counter to Deku's and they clashed as a result. When that stopped, after the initial protect the bomb exercise, he shifted to the role of the deuteragonist, the person who is second in importance behind the protagonist. Immediately after is when Shigaraki assumed the role of antagonist, which he's held ever since.
I guess it's based on my personal experience seeing bullies getting away with everything with no consequences while being loved by everyone
This will be here until I receive an apology or Weedlordvegeta get any consequences for being a bully
Bakugo isn't loved by anyone though. The entire class calls him a shit with a bad personality to his face.
I have really mixed feelings about Bakugo as well. I am not super fond of him, and I find the lack of disciplining, support or counselling he got from the teachers at UA to be super unrealistic and frustrating, but I've come to like him a lot more than I first expected to. He's definitely not in my top 10 characters of the show, though.
But Mineta is like, roughly as "bad" as Bakugo is in terms of harassing and being harmful to others- he does at least one count of sexual harassment or even assault (usually attempted tho) in each episode he appears in. He's just gross, not at all funny, and has never served a purpose in any part of the story that could've have been done by any other student. So he's both gross and pointless. That puts him at the bottom spot for me in the entire cast without question.

I'm in the final few episodes of the anime, I just don't recognise anyone called "Gentile" at all.
For me the difference is how Mineta gets called out and punished while people straight up just ignore Bakugo's actions and fawn over him constantly because he's strong, competent and confident

1) He is consistently awesome in ridiculous ways
2) He plays the goof a lot, but is actually highly competent and serious when he needs to be
3) He is consistently written as self-sacrificing, and actually backs that up by being self-sacrificing
4) The end of his character arc is constantly foreshadowed throughout part II, and holy shit it's basically the best thing in the entire series when it pays off
On the one hand, Bakugo hasn’t been an actual bully to anyone for a while, (arguably since entering the school, more arguably since the bomb exercise) and Izuku’s narration basically says he changed since the slime attack. On the other hand, nobody’s directly confronted him for how he acted before, when he was a legit and awful bully. Heck, Todoroki got an arc where his actions came back to bite him, and that was just based on him being aloof that one time!
On the one hand, Bakugo seems to understand how bad his behavior was, and that other kids shouldn’t do what he did. On the other hand, that realization still hasn’t gotten him to apologize for that behavior (I know it would most likely result in Izuku saying it’s not a big deal anymore, but still).
...so it’s a mixed bag in terms of how his character is handled.

Big fan of the nap girl.
She's got it figured out.

This is serious discussion for Real Otakonnoisseurs

Bakugo is praised for his extreme skill at hero related action skills because he's a prodigy at those things. His personality has been criticized by:
-All of his classmates
-Class B
-Everyone who watched the sports festival
-Villains assumed he was one of them (which is a pretty massive criticism if you aspire to being the world's greatest hero)
-His school (he failed getting a provisional license and had to take remedial classes to get a second crack at it)
-His own mom, who openly called him a shit when speaking to his teachers
-And the job market, when he got almost no internship offers after winning the sports festival, because he came off as dangerously unhinged
I really don't think the story has encouraged him being an ass, it's more like it has recognized that some (Kirishima, that little fangirl of his in the second movie) would look past that anyway because he's a handsome and talented prodigy.
