This is a really good point and I probably could've phrased it better! I was trying to say, it's less that the people around him are influencing him now and more that he was in an echo chamber in middle school. And I do believe he was in an echo chamber. Throughout the flashbacks to his and Midoriya's past, I don't believe we ever see any adult standing up to him. In fact, I don't think we see ANYONE standing up to him other than Midoriya himself (which is important, because it's one of the main foundations of Midoriya's character).

When Bakugou gets to UA, one of the first interactions he has with his classmates is someone telling him off! Iida yells at him for being impolite and having his feet on the desk iirc. And then it happens again: Tsuyu and Kaminari both criticize him for his cruelty and general assholery on the bus to the USJ. And even if Bakugou's classmates don't hate him, even if after a certain point they start to like him, the one thing they never do? They never shut up when he acts like a dick. There's pretty much almost always a snide comment or an objection from one of them— and this extends to their teacher, too! Mr Aizawa may not care so much about Bakugou hurting people's feelings, but he'll sure as hell step in when his temper gets in the way of his schoolwork (which it often does; emotional dysregulation is almost never useful in any meaningful way).

I won't say I think Bakugou never would have changed if not for 1-A, or Aizawa. I truly believe that he is a good person at his core, and wouldn't have turned villain or whatever, maybe he would've even eventually shown some of the growth he has now if left to his own devices. But to be surrounded by a posse of morally absent yes-men, and to be in a school environment in which none of the teachers seem willing to check you, is not conducive to personal growth, especially when you're literally just a dumbshit middle schooler with way too much power (no offense lol)

All this to say, you are absolutely right for thinking he made a conscious effort to be better, and I hope you agree with my analysis as well!

drew this helpful diagram for mha fans who don't understand what a character arc is

dabihawks are a perfect ship like they're a blue-red dynamic they're character foils one was the son of a hero and became a villain one was the son of a villain and became a hero they're heavy-handed societal extremes they're perfect opposites they're the exact same they're child soldiers they're animal motif coded there is so much there symbolically to justify the ship but if you asked me the real reason i enjoy them? they are insane. like they are both so freakishly mentally ill and they're dysfunctional and toxic and traumatised and they bug the fuck out of each other and they hate each other and they understand each other's morals better than anyone while still fundamentally opposing each other and i want nothing more than to put those two freaks in situations just to see who explodes the other first

thinking about toga's relationship with the LoV. like. these adult men who kill people took better care of toga than her own parents. that 17 yo girl was safer with them, the "villains", than with her OWN PARENTS.

as soon as they got money they got her a cute coat that she liked for winter. they kept her fed and safe. they made sure she had fun and could be herself and they trusted her with tasks and told her to live the way she wants while also telling her to come back to them, making sure she felt both free and wanted.

Toga is the only kid in the LoV. and when they lost magne she became the only girl. and they always made her feel safe and nurtured and included. RAAAAAH

part of it I think is the guys being keenly aware of how young she is. they all went through something terrible when they were kids, or in their past. but for toga it's right now. she is that kid. and they won't let her be abandoned and neglected like they were

NO ONE TOUCH ME THEY ARE HER FAMILY THEY TOOK HER IN I'M UNWELL ABOUT THEM
