It would make sense if Nana was the first strong enough to confront A4O head-on.
Do you mean the line "as the person who fathered One for All, her hopelessness was embarassing"?
All for One was talking about himself as the creator of One for All, which he technically is. The rest is him mocking Nana as a particularly worthless successor to piss All Might off.
Beat you to that prediction =P, my interests are piling up already.

So I got too antsy waiting for the anime weekly and ended up just reading through the manga.
I'm around Chapter 66 now, and I really get people's issues with Bakugou now.
Honestly, his incredibly foul mouth was already starting to get on my nerves. This is a school, right? And yet he cant seem to get through a sentence without at least two "fucks" and the absolute worst he seems to get over it is just light ribbing from the classmates.
Now he's paired up with Izuku for this test VS All Might, and when Midoriya brings up the absolute common sense point that they need to focus on evasion and escape rather than fighting since their opponent is fucking ALL MIGHT, Bakugou cracks him across the face full-force with those big metal gauntlets of him.
His behavior isn't the "talented jerk" anime trope, he's just a full-on narcissistic psychopath with dangerous rage issues.
This isn't a "squabble between classmates," he just committed heavy assault!
Seriously! This kid shouldn't just not be in the Heroics program - he should be in juvenile detention!

He didn't.
Reread the panel and look at Bakugou's face. It's surprised.
He hit Deku by accident while making a gesture.
Bakugo's language is turned up to 11 in the fan translations. It's straight up a creative decision on their part. The anime and official Viz versions don't have him saying fuck for every word coming out of his mouth.
That was honestly a big reason why I found him so annoying when I first started reading the manga. Not sure why they decided to take an already obnoxious character and make it much worse.

Yeah I wonder how many people are having their view of him skewed by fuck heavy fan translations
it's a general fan translation thing, yeah
Japanese has a complicated system of rudeness vs. politeness depending on how you speak, speaking forcefully and bluntly comes off as rude. Bakugou doesn't swear, he just speaks rough.
This takes effort to translate to English, effort that professional translators can work around. Fan translators don't want to put in that effort or have the skills to deal with it, so it's approximated into swearing.

Hmmm, I guess I could see that as a valid interpretation, with the panel after with his eyes shaded over, but then he launches instantly back into chewing Deku out while he's lying on the ground holding a face that just basically got hit with a metal baseball bat.
His total lack of remorse for hitting someone, even accidentally, in a way that could probably kill a person and willingness to continue yelling down at him while he's in pain on the ground make it so I don't even know if it possibly being an "accident" makes it better.
If it was on purpose, he's a malicious, physical bully that should be in some sort of rehabilitation program.
If it was an accident... He's still a dangerous loose cannon whose only redeeming quality seems to be how much he wants to be a "hero," even though he acts completely contrary to even the basic principals of the title.
He's not an "anti-hero" to me, he's just a straight up asshole who's ended up with a dangerous super power for someone who can't control their temper.

I still wonder how you translate bakugou's "rough" lines without sounding corny and awkward for a teen.
I totally buy he'd be swearing.

I get that there's some "it's a superhero comic/cartoon/anime" to it, but has there ever been any canon commentary that human's in MHA have a baseline "durability" that's greater than normal?
I'm of the opinion that, outside of Quirks, these are normal humans with normal human reflexes, toughness and abilities.
Eh, you can have "rough" language with "rude" statements and lighter swearing.
Things like:
"Shut up."
"Jackass."
"Cut the crap."
"Moron."
"Idiot."
"Loser."
"Retard."
"Screw you."
"Frickin'."
There's a ton of ways to have a character speak "brashly" without jumping straight to "fucks" and "shits."
"Harder" swears like that really screw up the "school" setting, since peppering your language with "fucks" in a classroom should be something that gets you constantly "sent to the office."

Really? Sent to the principal's office for cursing? In high school?
Damn, Japan strict as fuck.

As someone who swears almost every other word out of my mouth I never had a problem with fan translation's using swears.
Fuck.
Fuck.

Meanwhile Zoro on the other hand.
Some of the earliest DBZ fansubs had Goku cursing up a storm. It's kind of surreal when you consider how innocent he's meant to be.

Oh god my years of Japanese language study finally pays off.
There is no word for shit in Japanese, for instance, simply more vulgar/impolite ways of saying poop.
MONEY AND TIME WELL SPENT.

in Medieval Japan, it was too embarrassing to explain how the "birds and the bees" worked
so they just had someone write down all the instructions and warnings and give it to the newly married couple

If i remember correctly Mineta (grape boy) say fuck in the original source during training. And yeah, IRL Bakugo probably swear a lot.
I can believe that. The man is obsessed with Western comics.
Maybe he has a GAF account...

Old in a series where quirks exist and the guy in question can steal them from others.
