[Nope, not the homing variety this time; he was going full power and not screwing with the aiming. So Bakugo's sneaky tactic remains unspoiled for now.
Which he now regrets, fearing that in his haste to score a win, he might have accidentally done his friend harm. Sometimes his focus gets too narrow, too pinpoint for his own good, and this is one of those times. He completely fails to notice Bakugo's sneaky escape or him lurking on the branches overhead. If he came out looking like a sea urchin, then that would be the least of Yato's worries right now. As is, he's afraid it's a corpse he's going to find in the water.
It's only the faint rustle of leaves that has Yato's attention draw from the pool of water, yet not quickly enough to escape from Bakugo's surprise assault. Even without him coming in guns ablaze, the threat of being detonated in the backside takes him by surprise, stunning him into freezing like a deer in the headlights.
There's a couple moments where nothing happens, nobody moves, then-- He chuckles.]
Heh. Guess you got me this time. Shame on me for falling for that. But hey, pretty good on your part, playing me like a fool. I'll have to keep that in mind if we do this again.
[All the while he's yammering, he's softly applauding him. But on the final clap, he pulls out the water katana from his glove, whirling around as he ducks to strike at Bakugo's arm with the waving blade. One last attempt to try evening the score.]
