bakusatsuoGOD ABILITY: Power Augmentation Inspiration - Bakugou can inspire others to do their best at whatever they're attempting to do, signficantly increasing their prowess and skill in a specific thing(such as, say, combat, but it could even apply to something like baking under different circumstances). This is limited by how much natural skill the person has in whatever they're attempting; someone who's already a good baker could be thus inspired to become supernaturally good at baking for a time, whereas someone who's never baked fought before could only be elevated to 'impressive for someone who's never baked fought before' levels. Proximity to Bakugou is required for this to work for Far Shore residents, but his power is a bit more lenient when it applies to mortal worshippers; provided a Near Shore follower of his has prayed to him in the last 24 hours, he can inspire them without needing to be near them.
OTHER ABILITIES: Bakugou's quirk, Explosion, lets him secrete nitroglycerin (or something indistinguishable from it) from his palms, which he can detonate whenever he wants; the more he sweats and exerts himself, the stronger he can make his explosions, so he actually has the potential to blow things up more the harder he's fighting. The explosions don't harm him in any way, despite him being at the epicenter of them(although one assumes the shrapnel from things he blows up could, even if the series hasn't addressed this ever). He's come up with numerous applications for his explosions, aside from the obvious 'blow up opponents' one - he uses them to propel himself through the air in a form of directed flight, to swiftly dodge or reposition himself, to punch through armor and obstacles, to create light/heat(to the point of being able to replicate the effects of flash/stun grenades), and even uses rapid-fire explosions on one occasion to create a sort of corkscrew tornado around himself as he flew through the air. He can also presumably (as these applications haven't been shown in the series yet) use them to blind people in dark areas by destroying their night vision, to temporarily deafen people with sensitive hearing, and to create light/smoke/debris cover for covert movement. There are limitations to how strong the explosions he can create are without hurting his arms with the recoil, although he's shown to push through these limitations on a few occasions - but presumably he wouldn't want to do that unless he had a particularly good reason, since there could be long-term repercussions and Bakugou is shown to be mindful of things that might affect his long-term goal of becoming the #1 hero.
His hero outfit comes equipped with Grenadier Bracers - large, grenade-esque bracers around his upper arms that collect some of his sweat as he exerts himself and store it in what amounts to a pin-triggered cannon. Each can fire off one blast per fight(we've never seen him reload or reset them during a fight; one assumes he can't, or that it takes far too long to do). Explosions from his bracers - using the strength of a significant amount of accumulated sweat, and fired from a device rather than directly from his hands - are considerably bigger and stronger than his normal fare, easily enough to completely demolish almost anything directly in front of him(to the point of blowing giant holes in buildings), and the recoil from his bracer blasts don't damage his arms the way similar explosions would if he attempted to fire them off from his hands. He also carries things that look very much like grenades on his belt, which also store his sweat; these can create grenade-like explosions, more or less exactly as one would expect. Bakugou himself never seems to use these, presumably because his hands are far more convenient for blowing things up, but he's able to loan them to allies.
Bakugou's Blast Rush Turbo, aka using his explosions to propel himself, fly, and maneuver
Bakugou's Stun Grenade attack
Armor-Piercing Shot attack
Armor-Piercing Auto-Cannon attack (weaker than it looks, specifically meant to avoid serious damage to people or the proximity)
Bakugou's first instance of using Blast Shot Turbo to fly rather than simply move along the ground
Deku borrowing (and using) one of Bakugou's Grenadier Bracers
One of Bakugou's most recent (animated) fights in the canon timeline
A number of Bakugou's special attacks in action; note that Bakugou is only able to make the explosion from his Howitzer Impact so big by using the oxygen from the tornado he generates in performing the move, as normally explosions of that size require either self-harm or some form of external assistance
