Even when All Might is holding Bakugo by the head and completely restraining him, Bakugo refuses to stop blasting him with mini-explosions despite the fact that he’s clearly broken and battered.
All Might asks him why he doesn’t simply stop to avoid hurting himself any further, but Bakugo snaps back that he doesn’t care how much he has to break himself if it means he can win in the way he chooses.

However, Momo states that if one wants to learn something, it’s best to devote oneself wholeheartedly and start with the basics.

However, Izuku holds the mindset that everyone should do their best to help those they can help precisely because there will always be people who can’t be helped. It’s an inspiring message — that people should do their best to help those that they’re able to, instead of negatively fixating on the people they’re unable to help.
No matter who someone is or how much support they have, there may come a point where they feel as if they’re all alone. If these low points manifest as feeling a lack of a support system or being unable to lean on others, it’s easy to feel all alone in the world.
A simple statement from Uraraka — “You are not alone” — proves otherwise. Despite its simplicity, those words can often be the most powerful shining light of inspiration at times when people feel like there’s no one on their side.
