Bakugou Katsuki Quirk study
Bakugou Katsuki's quirk states that 'he can excrete a nitroglycerine-like sweat from his palms that he can explode at will to create various sizes of explosion'
The part that most people forget is the 'nitroglycerine-like' while we have no idea how close to nitroglycerine his sweat is we also don't know if it's only the smallest bit similar, the reason I bring this up is because of the 'Bakugou smells like Carmel' debate. As my research states nitroglycerine has absolutely zero oder when at room temperature, but once it is burnt smells like burnt sugar for this quirk study I feel it is necessary I add this.
Starting of with the basics: since it states that his sweat is 'nitroglycerine-like' we can bring up the argument of how much it is like. while I have no knowledge of science, simple research can do you many favours which begins our argument. The first thing I want to bring up is the fact that like most other explosives nitroglycerine becomes more prone to exploding the as the temperature increases, for us we can see that this is true, since Bakugou explode this through his own will the idea that if he isn't careful other like Todoroki, endeavour, or even Kaminari -i only say this cause electricity or lighting can produce enough heat to make sand into glass- being able to set it off by using their powers is a little off putting if Bakugou is constantly sweating nitroglycerine-like sweat from his palms then how do does he not set it of while cooking? Since nitroglycerine becomes extremely unstable when heat is added not only that but just dropping the stuff can cause accidental detonation. As such I think we can kind of rule out this part, while we need it to be Explodeable, we also need it to be able to not cause accidental explosion, maybe over the year Bakugou has developed his sweat to be more mixed with the nitroglycerine then before, which is why he need so much.
And to bring up I also believe that Bakugou would have to be incredible warm and or hot to sweat enough to fill his gauntlets, which brings us back to the smell, if his sweat is nitroglycerine-like then we can technically state that he smells at least somewhat sweet since again nitroglycerine smells like burnt sugar when detonated, since it is not fully nitroglycerine/not pure nitroglycerine we can speculate that yes it does smell sweet, because we're using the excuse that he is quite hot, the reason he smells so sweet and not just his hands would be because he wipes his sweat from his plams onto his jeans and shirt accidentally, not that he realizes it's the reason all his clothes smell like they've been bathed in sugar. When Bakugou create small explosion I believe it would make the air around him smell like Carmel/burnt sugar, if he uses medium sized ones then at least 4 meter away will smell like semi burnt carmel, and if he let's of big explosion -like his ap shot- they from at least kilometer or two away it smell like foul burnt carmel.
Anyway this is just my analysis of whether he smells like carmel or not. Please don't be mean and try to remember that this is not cannon, and is mostly head cannon.
