He was starting to lose a bit of his hope. Bakugo has saved a kid from a really bad place a little over a month ago and in the end agreed to take care of the kid.

So yeah, in the end he agreed to be the one to care for shadow. Now shadow lives at UA with him in the Bakugos dorm… and is yet to do anything.
