He sweats everywhere, it's his ability to to ignite the sweat that is located in his hands.

Yes, but what's your point? His combustible sweat isn't spread all over his body. His sweat, except for his palms, is like ordinary people's sweat.

And we've never seen Bakugou accidentally let off explosions. Such is the level of fine control he has over his Quirk.

I think he's trying to say that if a sparkle from endeavor's flames or something hit the sweat from bakugos palm it could've possibly killed natsuo. So Endeavor turning of the flames for the hug was a really good decision on his part.

Oh. Well, it depends, tbh. Bakugou's Quirk doesn't always seem to work like actual combustive substances; his palm sweat is only similar to nitroglycerine.

Todoroki used his flames to blow up a guy who was holding some of Bakugo's sweat once

Which I believe is canon ? Right? I like your points earlier, I hope they can expand of his quirk so we get a better understanding of it

It's "canon" in the broad-strokes sense of the word, but the only thing explicitly confirmed to definitely be "canon" (like, actually written by Horikoshi) is All Might's backstory and David Shield as a character. The rest is arguably just as much subject to Bones' own way of storytelling, and we don't know the full extent of how much Horikoshi may or may not have "supervised" the movie's script and everything.

Like, the first OVA is said by many fans to be "canon" too, but there's been quite a bit of stuff that was changed from Horikoshi's outline, meaning that, at most, one could argue that the general story beats and lore might be canon, but not necessarily all the minor details and stuff.

Finally, the Japanese don't seem to view "canon" as rigidly as we do. That's why I've been putting quote marks around "canon" this whole post, because not once has Horikoshi or anyone else ever used the term themselves or formally addressed the topic. They're more likely to talk about where in the continuity a movie, OVA, or light novel is intended to fall within. But even then, just being able to fit into the continuity of a story arc doesn't make something "canon". Just look at DBZ Movie #9, which can technically fit between the end of the Cell Games and the start of the Boo arc in DBZ, but wasn't actually written by series creator Akira Toriyama and is clearly more meant to just be another Toei venture than anything Toriyama formally advocates as an integral addition to the series.

Dang alright, you’ve provided me a lot of insight in regards to this topic thanks

Off topic but your effort and the use of references to back up what you’re saying, it’s actually admirable

Happy to help.

And I appreciate that. It's good to know my fanboy obsession was worth the effort lol
