Summary
Baku is the main protagonist of the Baku Series, debuting in the video Boneless Pizza. The mostly series consists of Baku calling or entering various places of business, usually fast food restaurants, and getting into arguments with the employees due to his absurd requests and disrespectful attitude.

Although in most early videos he doesn't display any feats of power, the later seasons have depicted him getting into fights and using various attacks.

Although Baku's face and name are derived from the Crash Bandicoot character Aku Aku, Baku does not appear to be an alternate depiction of Aku Aku.

Key: Base | Persona Activated

Note:
 * Limits are likely to be established in the fifth season.


 * Yes, the 9/11 feat is a real thing Sethical said in a livestream at some point. It was in response to someone in the chat asking if Baku caused the event. Sethical replied with something like "he didn't do it, but he's strong enough that he could have done it." Without that feat, Base would be at least 9-C, and Persona Activated would be at least 9-B.


 * While he does refer to the guns Roger whips out as "still images", it is unlikely that this is evidence of Fourth Wall Awareness for several reasons. Firstly, Lil Broomstick is also unintimidated by the weapons, despite using firearms himself later. Secondly, Obito implies at a later point that Baku and Broomstick both lack Fourth Wall Awareness. For these reasons, the presumption is taken that Roger whipped out still images rather than real firearms in-canon.
