Unlike Deku, whose quirk ignites in his whole body, he can use his legs for fighting while using his hands to grab or catch people. But remember when he was still using his arms, for example, when he saved Kouta, what price did he pay? His arms were bloody and out of commission and he couldn’t save others after. Bakugou is seen flying in the picture with his two hands as means to escape because it’s the only way he can. No matter what theory you say with BNHA characters having more life/danger resistance, carrying a child between your teeth is hard. Saying that, I doubt people will be willing to be saved by either being grabbed by Bakugou’s legs or teeth. It’s not practical, it’s counterproductive. What if he accidentally blows them up because he used his hands? What if they get caught by wayward explosions? What if they’re escaping and a villain comes, how will he fight when his hands are occupied? His power was initially made to destroy, no matter how you put it. It’s explosions, what more can I say. This is backed up by Thirteen saying that Bakugou will be a “pretty great hero when he gets older” in an OVA saving exercise where he was forced to sit out and not help because his quirk was not needed. Them explaining that if Bakugou tried to butt in, he’ll be causing more harm than good. What’s canonically said is that Bakugou knew and did this by himself. No one told him to stop trying to win because he took initiative, meaning he’s thought about this before. Meaning he understands what he can and cannot do. Now you might counter that why can’t he just get support items to help? Yes but what items and how will they help? Do you understand how liable that is? To leave/break the item helping you to save when there are lives on the line. You can also say that he’s not powerless when his hands are taken but I disagree, in a world where they fight villains with quirks and he cannot use his quirk, then he’s as good as caught. The last counter is “why can’t he just protect the people?” But that’s just it, you’re validating my point. By protecting, it’s a play of defense or offense. Go ahead and ask a chess player what strategy is better and they’ll tell you it depends on the situation. You can’t win everything by protecting, the same way you can’t with fighting. When he “protects the people,” he can either fight or defend, but not outright save. When Bakugou Katsuki wins to save, he is doing the best he can do, the most he has to offer, and the greatest strategy to him for winning and saving.

So, that is my theory. I can see it happening but I’m not sure if it will happen. Bakugou could just die or be badly injured and may never fight again.
