#IzuOcha is the only ship mentioned that i like romantically 😭

[spacebunniesmha]

I love strong friendships. Like, I love romantic IzuOcha, but platonic IzuOcha is SO cool. Platonic bkdk & togachako? I live for it. Platonic KiriMina? YES PLEASE.

I love platonic relationships SO much😭

I'm not sure they are 99.9% not gonna happen. I'm sure it's the most likely out of all the ships! And even if they aren't in a romantic relationship they will still be the wonder duo partners! There is so much evidence that they should or will be a couple, I mean if one of them was a girl there would be no question. That's just how gay they are lol. Or maybe I'm just too hopefully 😅

i'm basing the 99.9% solely on the fact that they're both guys 😭 if they weren't (like if one were a girl) then oh yes, absolutely they'd be the most likely out of all ships!

we have to keep in mind that even though lgbt ships ARE possible in shounen, they are still not extremely prevalent. and when they are canon, they usually belong to less popular/well-known characters or even in less popular/well-known IPs. most of the time if an author wants romance in their shounen they'd go for a boy x girl one bc it's safe. considering how mha is a very popular IP with a massive following, both in asia and in the west, i'd assume making bkdk canon would be a HUGE risk for both horikoshi and shounen jump. i know mha has canon queer characters like toga and magne, but both of them are villains, not the main two characters of the series lol

not to mention, horikoshi doesn't even seem that interested in pursuing romance in the first place ^^' he has a handful of perfectly doable boy x girl relationships that already make enough sense being canon (like kirimina and kamijirou) but he hasn't done anything definitively romantic with them. the only main mha ship right now that has canon "romantic proof" is izuocha, but even that one is stalling and hasn't progressed much for many chapters. it might not even be canon since deku seems to see ochako pretty platonically right now

perhaps I'M too pessimistic and bkdk have a higher chance than i'm seeing right now. after all i didn't say 100% — maybe horikoshi will surprise me and he'll make the fated 0.1% decision! who knows! i certainly don't; i have stopped trying to predict what happens in the series and am now just going with whatever happens :')

however — i have no doubt in my mind that they'll be hero partners in the future, if mha extends to after their ua years LOL. that seems very likely given how good their relationship and dynamic is already, and horikoshi is already obsessed with pairing them up whenever it makes sense. the way i see it, this seems more possible since hero partners can be as platonic as u want it, but can also be as romantic as u want it too. that way horikoshi won't have to officially confirm anything haha
