[ And just to add to his existential pain, Midoriya jacks his moves for like what? The fourth, fifth time now? Maybe Deku's got a secondary quirk too, "Copycat (Only Applies To Kacchan)". He should join forces with Uraraka and reclaim plot relevance, but only one of those two people deserves it and there's no prize for guessing which one that is.
There's no response to Todoroki's comment; the adrenaline's already rushing and he's mentally in the zone (no laser eyes, though), not wanting to waste his breath on trading snarky remarks at the moment. Even Bakugou has enough in him to realize that it is definitely highly abnormal, the extent to which this sort of thing excites him, how strongly it is that this is driven by instinct.
If Bakugou had stopped to think about his plan, he probably would've realized at some point that he picked one that advantages him without particularly meaning to, when he's better at short ranges and relies on his (fundamentally really gross) hero costume to give him the assist at longer ranges, but it has been well established at this point that thinking was not something that went into this plan. This time, he's expecting the retaliation and shifts back to catch some of the momentum of the blow, taking the rest so that he can stay close enough to hook his foot around the back of Todoroki's ankle and attempting to sweep him off-balance. ]
