A thrilling fan-made crossover animation, pitting My Hero Academia’s explosive hero Katsuki Bakugo against Demon Slayer’s wild swordsman Inosuke Hashibira, has taken social media by storm—amassing millions of views and earning praise for its jaw-dropping hand-drawn artistry.
Titled simply “Bakugo vs. Inosuke,” the project—crafted entirely without AI or recycled footage—features a fast-paced, action-packed duel that showcases the incredible skill of independent animators. Watch the viral fan animation here:
Spearheaded by animator and sound designer Dan Mark Lazaga, the animation was created using a 2D hand-drawn process in ToonBoom Harmony, with dynamic editing handled in softwares like After Effects and Premiere Pro.
Focusing entirely on high-energy fight sequences without a detailed storyline, the animation stands out for its meticulous attention to fight choreography. The soundtrack, composed by Taheda, adds to the adrenaline-pumping intensity of the battle, elevating the overall experience.
Since its release on YouTube, fans have flooded social media with praise, calling the Inosuke vs. Bakugo crossover “a masterclass in fan animation.” Many highlighted the absence of AI, applauding the “raw talent” behind every frame.
Lazaga dedicated his Bakugo vs. Inosuke project to the hardworking animators and artists who refuse to cut corners in an era where AI-generated content sparks debate. As the video continues to trend, fans can support Lazaga’s work by visiting his YouTube channel and following his creative journey.
Bakugo vs Inosuke Who Would Win?
Bakugo wins 7/10 times. His ranged explosions, aerial superiority, and tactical adaptability would overwhelm Inosuke’s close-combat focus. While Inosuke’s endurance and reflexes could prolong the fight, Bakugo’s Howitzer Impact or clustered explosions would eventually incapacitate him.
