Updated: Jan 9, 2023


Who Would Win?


Shinra Kusakabe (The Devil's Footprints)


Shinra Kusakabe Profile



Atsushi Ohkubo is the author and illustrator of the Japanese manga series Fire Force. In Year 186, Shinra was five years old and lived with his mother and younger brother, Sho. As a child, Shinra was fascinated by heroics, dressing up as a superhero, emulating heroic movements from television, and yearning to be a hero who could protect his loving family. Shinra's mother once pushed him to pick up his toys, but he resisted since he wanted to complete his book. His mother told him about the urban legend about misbehaving children being kidnapped and taken to the Netherworld.


Shinra awoke one evening to find his house on fire. He notices a Infernal standing in his home among the flames and in the midst of the chaos realizes that his mother and little brother Sho had not survived the fire. His families death caused him to develop a nervous laugh, which causes the muscles in his face to tighten whenever he is worried, exposing his teeth and extending his mouth into a smile; Shinra's devil grin.

Following the tragedy, people assumed Shinra was a villain who purposefully slaughtered his own family for amusement while smiling his malicious smile. Others avoided him because they mistook him for the devil. His grandmother refused to let him reside with her because she was afraid of what he had allegedly done.


Shinra remained at Haijima Industries since he couldn't control his Ignition Power, and they fitted him with liquid nitrogen boots to inhibit his ability. During his stay, he and the other youngsters had no freedom or privileges, and the scientists simply saw them as test subjects. When he was thirteen, he moved out and enrolled in the Special Fire Force Training Academy, hoping to uncover the truth behind the fire that killed his family and spare others from the hopelessness of the flames. Due to his background, he was still regarded as a demon in the academy. He was made aware of the dangers of Third Generation Overheating. Shinra imagined he'd join Special Forces during his schooling.



Shinra anticipated that when he graduated, he would join Special Fire Force Company 4. He was, ultimately, assigned to Special Fire Force Company 8.

Katsuki Bakugo (The Great Explosion Murder God)


Katsuki Bakugo Profile


Katsuki Bakugo, also known as Kacchan, is a hero that appears in Khei Horikoshi's manga series My Hero Academia. As a child, Katsuki loved to bully the odd Izuku Midoriya. However, once they both attended U.A. High School and Katsuki was froced to see the child he had riduculed grow into a unwanted rival.


Katsuki is a rude, violent, arrogant, and abrasive person. Katsuki comes appear as anti-heroic, if not downright evil, with the demeanor of a juvenile delinquent. This troublesome trait stems from his upbringing, when he was known to torment a young, quirky Izuku Midoriya.

However, after getting admitted to U.A. High and experiencing several personal setbacks, one of which came from Izuku, Katsuki has gradually evolved into a less aggressive individual, albeit keeping many of his awful features.


Katsuki, who is brutal and merciless, smiles strangely when he finds himself in the middle of a combat. His personality echoes his combat style: he attacks viciously and has little respect for neighboring objects, simply demolishing them with his power. Despite this, he's a skilled fighter, employing his Quirk in a variety of ways other than attacking. He's also extremely brilliant, capable of strategic planning and achieving some of the greatest grades in his class, to the point where some consider him a natural genius.



Katsuki's Quirk is Explosion, which allows him to make explosions with his hands by detonating the nitroglycerin-like liquid he sweats; over the series, he discovers a number of different applications for this.

Verdict: In a battle between these two aspiring heroes, their fire powered abilities have served them well in the heat of battle, however how will it do them in a bout pitted against one another. Fire feet vs fire hands; Shinra and Bakugo share somewhat of a similar fighting sttyle, while Shinra opts to a more breakdancing style of fight Bakugo leans towards aerial attacks often with exceptional deceptive maneuvers coupled with his immense speed. Shinra may have more firepower over Bakugo, however Katsuki will find some way to subdue Shinra. Their difference in intellect and battle experience/decision making sets these two far apart from one another. Shinra will definitely put up a fight worthy of a fourth of July fireworks performance, but will fall short of the W.
