Eh a little bit of all the above, but mostly amused over Rinharu’s part. As if any part of Free! is straight.
Anyway it’s interesting to me how you defend Naruto ships so loyally yet shit on other ships that are practically the same mold. Don’t fans often say “Narusasu walked so Bakudeku could run?” I’m hoping the future manga series don’t turn out to be so-called yaoi-bait again but who knows. At least the Japanese creators know us fujoshi paid well for the merch, hence the catering.
Edit: I just reread your tag again, you watched all of Free! huh? Didn’t expect that, you sound like such a dudebro that I thought you would’ve stopped halfway through, like my straight male friends who picked it up by mistake. Also I’m now convinced people these days don’t know the definition of canon when you’re throwing it around like that.
Tumblr media
My favorite thing to do is say that popular yaoi ships are actually two straight men who hate each other. Cause its true. Bakueku is two straight men who hate each other. Rinharu is two straight men who hate each other. Akiangel is two straight men who hate each other. Ereri is two straight men who hate each other. Soukoku is two straight men who hate each other. Like factually, canonically, reality wise, this is all true. The only yaoi ship I can’t do this for is narusasu, cause those mofos were gay there’s no denying that. But inosaku better and thats just facts.

Don’t worry OP, you know this lashing out is lower behavior...they’re just now realizing which ship is winning the canon lottery (or if not canon? Definitely Most Important Relationship position for sure)
Since the Volume 37 cover release I have seen a big hate wave from Anti’s on twitter say the most repulsive things from calling us f*ggots, sending death threats to bkdks and almost 10k people liked a tweet that wished to harm bkdk shippers with machetes.
They obviously have issues but it’s actually so funny that they are this violent because even they know how gay that cover looked since a lot of them think it’s fanart and “fujo/click bait”
They can cry all they want but I will never shut up about this cover 🤣
Cheers to Horikoshi! (The biggest bkdk shipper)

The way I know you’re reaching and haven’t watched these shows because Bakudeku, Rinharu and Ereri do not “hate” each other, wtf. A lot of complicated feelings and miscommunications but nothing so straightforward as hate.
Also “striaght men” really? I won’t take the time to go in depth for each of them but Haru? Back in 2013 everyone in the fandom agreed the most canon ship was Haru x Water lmfaooo
Oh sure, Inosaku is “better” when they became rivals (according to you: hate each other) over a BOY! Narusasu are gay mfs who would each marry a woman and have kids >> But are they still good ships with complex history? Absolutely. I was a Naruto fan long before becoming a fujoshi but you’re making the fandom look bad, please leave it alone.

Random rant: English fandoms especially is a weird place, on one hand you have people cheering for series romanticizing serial killers (Dahmer) and incest (House of Dragon) but on the other, people shipping gay teenage boys from anime get called out for “misogyny” and “ped0philia” and so on.

See? I very well said since the start, this twitter poll thing is a shitty idea!
Also I can’t wrap my head around this - why would anyone “ban” these totally vanilla, friendly ships? Ochako/Tsuyu? Rody/Deku?
It’s just an excuse for people to push derogatory labels on their rival ships, and I hate it. Toxic anti behavior.
Don't tell me this fandom is not homophobic
Don't tell me this fandom is not homophobic when a poll about "ships to ban" ends up having ONLY queer ships
m/m or f/f, popular or not, the author could not even think of ONE non queer ship to add
Tumblr media Tumblr media
disgusting. And hundreds of people voted and noticed nothing. Some even commented that all of them should be banned

I wanna theorise about the possible end and the whole “Izuku can’t control his heart” regarding Katsuki and the possibility of them sharing OFA in some way again and the true nature of OFA. This is gonna get shippy cause I want it to and it’s just a theory but I’ll try to back it up so keep that in mind.
Tumblr media
I was thinking about the last chapter and the way Shigaraki spoke just made me think. It is true.. that Katsuki isn’t as strong as Deku simply because Deku has an OP superhuman strength quirk and on top of that quirk.. he has 6 more quirks.. BUT!!!
It’s just about the way Shigaraki worded it that made me think. He is telling this to Katsuki.. he is targeting Katsuki specifically.. why? Well.. because..eventho Izuku has this insane power he wields.. that power would become useless the moment something happens to Katsuki.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cause Izuku..would lose full control of it and the quirk would swallow him. Katsuki is Izuku’s image of victory. His closest one, his light. The one IN HIS HEART! This is the important bit. If you take that away from him..he is lost. It’s why he slowly loses it when he left UA.
Tumblr media
I’m not saying he left because of Katsuki only. Obviously he wanted to protect everyone but almost losing Katsuki? His image of victory? Someone he loves, as he himself said. Probably hit him the most. But he had to leave him behind. And he slowly deteriorates. He gets worse and worse until.. he’s finally overwhelmed..life entirely left his eyes.. he’s about to give up.. and then.. here comes Bakugo Katsuki, his image of victory and in this moment.. his angel. And just like that, life is back in Izuku’s eyes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
For this one moment, everything was okay. Kacchan is here.. everything is okay.. but as he quickly realised he’s gonna have to leave Katsuki behind again.. because he can’t risk Shigaraki hurting his friends and family… he’s back to looking hopeless.
Tumblr media
And so when Katsuki finally apologises.. we see the look on Deku’s face like we’ve never seen before. His pupils explode.. but we don’t know what he felt in this moment. Horikoshi hasn’t let us see it yet. And so.. Izuku decided to come back. He might end up regretting this.
Tumblr media
So let’s get to the point.
Bakugo Katsuki may as well BE One for all for Izuku.
He awakened Izuku’s quirks.. he inspires Izuku the most and most of all? The quirk itself seems to turn against Izuku whenever he gets too upset about something happening to Katsuki.
AFO is aware of this. He spent a long time observing Izuku and he knows that if he wants that victory and if he wants to take over OFA.. all he has to do is target Katsuki. The person that’s inside his heart.
“You have to control what’s inside your heart.”
Because if he destroys his heart.. Izuku won’t be able to control OFA anymore. It’s not about simply making Izuku rage.. it’s about making the quirk.. TURN AGAINST HIM. These two boys need each other. And while Izuku may have an OP quirk.. he NEEDS Katsuki to wield it.
So.. why does Ofa turn against Izuku? OFA is a quirk that responds to strong emotions. Emotions evolved it back when 2nd reached out to Yoichi. Embracing these emotions helps control OFA. What is Izuku’s strongest emotion? Katsuki.
Katsuki is the one inside his heart.
OFA has relations to heart. Therefore.. it’s almost as if Katsuki is One for All for Izuku. And as long as Izuku rejects these feelings and rejects the importance Katsuki has in his heart.. he will never have full control of One for all and he will NOT be able to complete it.
Up until this point, quirks have been triggering because Izuku was losing control of his heart because of Katsuki. But I think this time will be different. I think 2nds quirk ISN’T gonna trigger until Izuku GAINS this control. He won’t be able to complete OFA without it.
I think this is the true nature of one for all. It’s romantic. The quirk is powered by this feeling. It sounds cliche as hell but it really does make sense. One for All reacts to love. Because the quirk is seated inside one’s heart where the feeling of love resides too. Odd thing is that Katsuki lately began opening up. But the more Katsuki drops his mask.. the more Izuku retreats. He’s pushing these feelings away even more when he should be doing the opposite and that’s why I’m afraid that next time he loses control..
Tumblr media
We’ll see him in the light we’ve never even imagined we could see him before. He will be forced to stop running away. He will be forced to realise the true nature of OFA and for this, he will need Katsuki who will change Izuku’s OFA forever, the way 2nd did for Yoichi.
I have a feeling that Hori didn’t give up on Katsuki having access to OFA. But it may happen a little differently. As I already said, OFA is an emotion based quirk. Many years ago, 2nd evolved it and it became what it is today simply by reaching out to Yoichi.
Tumblr media
Now… OFA is dying again, isn’t it? They told Izuku he is most likely the last OFA user. And so… Katsuki will be the one to evolve this quirk the way 2nd did. And maybe.. this time, Izuku will be able to share this power with Katsuki without actually transferring the quirk over. Because these two boys are so close to each other and their hearts can become as one… they just need to come to the understanding of how much they mean to each other and the quirk will become THEIRS. They will be able to use it together and will be number one heroes together.
Because Hori is building this story about OFA and hearts and Izuku’s feelings for Bakugo Katsuki.. and Katsuki being the person closest to Deku.. Deku may be able to simply lend OFA’s power to Katsuki BECAUSE of that massive bond they have. Because Hori is building this story about OFA and hearts and Izuku’s feelings for Bakugo Katsuki.. and Katsuki being the person closest to Deku.. Deku may be able to simply lend OFA’s power to Katsuki BECAUSE of that massive bond they have.

I want to see Izuku laugh so much he cries from Classic Kacchan shenanigans, the way they so easily make me laugh and then for Kacchan to smile uncontainably stupid big back at Izuku bc he’s sooo proud he made his boy happy. Because Kacchan has been wanting them to become closer and for some reason that he can’t even explain, a laughing Deku just feels like a mission complete to him. I am waiting with bated breath for something like this. 
This is about the bittersweet 1-A panel that presents itself as a warm family hug, but belies an underlying lonely and sad darkness that persists so notably in Izuku’s mind. (As of chapter 338, this darkness remains yet to be resolved.)
Tumblr media
Izuku has no recent memory of Kacchan laughing with him or even smiling directly at him.

What Kacchan wants to tell Deku the most… but can’t.
undefined
youtube
I used to be up in the air about whether this “kuruna… Deku!!” was about Kacchan not wanting to accept help from Deku or if our suspicions were correct in that there’s an underlying thread of concern of Kacchan’s which stems from Deku’s quirkless days: Fear that his osananajimi will get himself killed trying to do the impossible. I thought maybe it was just that Kacchan was not allowing himself to become a victim and have Izuku (“of all people, the person who looks down on me”) Midoriya be his saviour.
However, the more Kacchan’s true feelings about Deku came out into the open, the more I thought that this line of “stay back/don’t come” during his kidnapping, was coming from very deep-seated concern for him. So now I believe Kacchan always had kept his feelings of friendship towards Deku from childhood. But, long ago he tightly locked them away and the reason why he did that I think was to protect himself from the overwhelming worry that knowing Izuku gave him. Until Kamino and DvK2 happened and the feelings came back.
It felt like the way Kacchan saw Deku was starting to slowly reform and that was based on his discovery that the greatest hero All Might… chose him. If All Might could give this person a chance and saw something good in him worthy of this important power, then surely Kacchan also can try find out what he sees in him and that’s why he wanted to fight him, initially… to confirm it for himself.
But we instead discovered when he broke down in front of his former best friend, the overwhelming pressure and suffering he’d been feeling in believing that he ended the career of his lifelong hero. And we also realised that up until that fight, Kacchan had never understood just how much Deku simply adores him in the most purest of ways. From this point, Kacchan noticeably starts to change. Even the light novels comment on the taming down of Kacchan since his fight with Deku. It was as if his emotional angst he had with Deku had become quite cleansed by the revelations. That there never were such things as superiority, antagonism, or looking down on him in the first place.
I think after Deku corrected him on this and showed Kacchan his genuine admiration, combined with the knowledge that Deku has inherited All Might’s legacy and the weight he now carries because of this… these two things are ultimately what brought back “Kacchan” and for the first time and from then on, he stopped running away from his uncomfortable feelings and began looking right at Deku, facing him in earnest. It was almost like a box had been opened. The contents of that box were the traces left of Kacchan’s childish feelings of friendship for Deku and this post is about what I think truly closed that box in the first place.
There is a lot to talk about so I’ve placed a cut!! ~

My Top 20 BKDK Moments (So Far)
by mysterylover123
Warning, anime onlys: I’ll be mentioning Manga stuff, though only 2 of them are all that spoiler-y
#20. YOU MADE THAT BORROWED POWER  YOUR OWN
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3.19 “RUSH!” Provisional License Exam Arc
What Happens: Bakugo asks Midoriya if he’s made ‘that borrowed power’ his own, complimenting him indirectly by saying that of course he passed. Deku gets super excited at being complimented by him.
Why I like it: For all the shit they throw at one another early on, BK & DK do really look up to/respect each other. They won’t admit it easily, but scenes like this (and a later scene in Chapter 194, where Deku compliments Kacchan and he too reacts extremely) showcase that respect. I love it. Also, Kacchan knows Deku’s AM’s inheritor already.
#19. HAVE YOU GOTTEN ANY BETTER? (Manga)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chapter 168 “The Strange Tale of Aoyama” Interlude arcs
What happens. Post Internship arc, Bakugo asks Deku if he’s gotten any better since they last talked. Deku says no, and Bakugo reminds him that he said he’d surpass him. This prompts Deku to work harder.
Why I like it: Ideal RivalShipping is about two characters pushing each other to be their best selves. Bakugo is great at getting Deku to try harder, just as Deku prompts his best self.
#18. YOUR QUIRK IS AMAZING, KACCHAN
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Backstory flashback, multiple times. Mostly Battle Trial Arc
What happens: Baby Deku and Kacchan walk through the woods together, talking about quirks, before DK is found to be quirkless. This is one of many scenes of Baby Deku and Kacchan being casual friends.
Why I like it: I love the cute scenes of them as kids, where they seem to be actual friends and hang out together, bonding over All-Might and quirks and heroes. I hope we get to see them hang out like that again as adults some day.
#17. SECRET OFA TALKS (MANGA SPOILERS!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chapter 217: End of joint Training Arc
What Happens: Kacchan joins in the AM and Deku talks (for the 2nd time) to discuss what’s happening with OFA. He also works with Deku on trying to master his new ability.
Why I like it: Bakugo is instantly able to help Deku zero in on the information he needs up joining the secret OFA talks, in a way that AM wasn’t able to. He makes a great partner for Deku here, getting right to the point and refusing to waste time.
#16. “I COULD MOVE LIKE KACCHAN”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hero-Killer Arc, 2.14-2.19
What Happens: Deku is trying to master OFA. He thinks about how he wants to move, and uses Kacchan’s moves as his model. He’s able to discover Full Cowling like this, which lets him fight Stain and do well in the race - and everyone notices (Iida, Uraraka, Todoroki, Bakugo) that he’s moving like Kacchan.
Why I like it: Deku has lots of moments where he thinks “What would Kacchan do” or tries to model himself on the guy. He admires the crap out of him - but not in the blind way he tries to imitate AM, or Ochaco tries to imitate Deku, or Iida Ingenium. Because Deku doesn’t hero-worship Baku, but sees his flaws, he’s able to imitate him without losing himself.
#15. “HE’S AMAZING”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Battle Trial Arc, 1.07-1.08
What happens: Midoriya and Uraraka are pitted against Kacchan and Iida in mock battle. Midoriya goes on and on and on about how awesome Kacchan is and how much he wants to beat him - first in a speech to Uraraka, later telling Bakugo to his face.
Why I like it: Deku really looks up to Kacchan, and even at their most adversarial, he still talks about him in positive terms and speaks of him as a cool guy he wants to surpass. Deku doing this is also good for Bakugo, since he’s able to acknowledge his flaws and strengths without kissing his ass like his sidekicks in middle school; Deku beating him upsets his pride and sets off his Character Development.
#14. TWIN STARS OF CLASS 1-A
Tumblr media
3.17 Class 1-A, License Exam Arc
What Happens: Aizawa meta’s about his class with Ms Joke, explaining that Deku and Kacchan are the center of every Class A incident, and despite not getting along, their presence elevates everyone else up.
Why I like it: The staff of UA seem to ship BKDK. They teamed them up to fight AM and encourage them to get along. Aizawa sees clearly how each one inspires everyone else. This speech groups them together as a duo who act in tandem. Twin Stars.
#13. “THE MOST AMAZING HERO ALWAYS WINS IN THE END.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2.24 “Katsuki Bakugo origin” Flashback
What happens. Baby Kacchan fights off a bunch of older kids, even though he’s in tears. Baby Deku watches him from afar and looks deeply impressed.
Why I like it: Deku seems to have admired Kacchan since he was really, really young. I’m not sure when this scene takes place, but Deku’s big smile and wide, shining eyes when watching Bakugo seem like a mark of affection and love to me.
#12. ABOUT MY/YOUR SHOOT STYLE
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3.23 Deku vs Kacchan Part 2
What happens: Post Fight, under house arrest alone, Deku and Kacchan have a very civil conversation, where depending on the translation either Deku brings up Shoot style and asks for advice, or Kacchan offers it on his own. Ends with Deku smiling.
Why I like it: Post-DVK2, they immediately establish that they’re now capable of talking to each other in civil terms. Kacchan gives Deku civil advice, and despite saying ‘it pissed me off’, the whole exchange is beautifully positive.
#11. GET OUT OF MY WAY, DEKU
Tumblr media Tumblr media
1.12 All Might USJ Arc
What happens: Deku jumps in to save Al Might and is nearly killed by Kurogiri. At the last second Kacchan saves him by taking down Kurogiri. Also Later Kacchan is nearly killed and Deku screams in horror.
Why I like it: Bakugo doesn’t have a ton of scenes where he saves Deku, but the few times he does save someone/show concern for them, it’s usually him. This is Baku’s first save, and though he phrases it in rude terms, he still does it. Actions> words.
#10. WELL, NOW I’M EVEN MORE EAGER (MANGA)
Tumblr media
Chapter 202, joint Training Arc
What Happens: Deku and AM go off to talk OFA. Kacchan refuses to be left out and joins them voluntarily. Noticing Deku is upset he encourages him in his own way, which AM observes. Once Deku smiles, Kacchan goes back to being his abrasive self.
Why I Like it: Baku is newly nicer (in his Tsundere way) after DVK2. He’s actually able to be kind to Deku and encouraging. This is similar to the advice the OFA users give Deku later, which helps him actually use the power. OFA Co-conspirators FTW.
#9. NOW IT’S YOUR TURN
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3.11-3.12 US of Smash
What Happens: Post All Might’s fight, Kacchan notices Deku’s tears and AM’s words, and puts the pieces together. He asks AM about Deku and when he’s shot down he remains quiet and brooding.
Why I like it: Bakugo changes forever in this section of the story. He realizes the truth about Deku. He blames himself for ending AM. He asks about Deku and shows awareness that something’s up with him. It’s all very self-aware and sweet.
(#8-2, examples of super-mega-ultra concern for each other)
#8. YOU’RE PROBABLY THE MOST FRUSTRATED OF ALL
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3.04-3.10 Training Camp and Hideout Raid Arcs
What Happens: While fighting Muscular, Deku learns that Kacchan is in danger. He goes psycho Madman Deku mode for the whole Training Camp Arc, refusing to pause or rest until he’s saved Kacchan. He falls apart when Kacchan is taken, then immediately goes off to save him again even though he could die.
Why I like it. Deku likes saving people in general, but when someone threatens Kacchan, he goes crazy in a way he doesn’t for anyone else. He spends this whole arc hopped up on “Must save Kacchan” juice and keeps pushing and going no matter what. He cares about the guy, no two ways about it.
#7. DON’T COME, DEKU
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3.07 “What a Twist!”
What happens: Bakugo is captured by villains. He’s being dragged through the portal and Deku comes barreling towards him with two broken arms, fully prepared to jump through the portal and die just to save him. Bakugo tells him not to and Deku listens.
Why I like it: Though this arc is filled with Deku being crazy protective of Baku, Baku gets his own fair share in right here. He tells Deku not to basically die protecting him, and Deku listens. Baku basically saves his life here, at the expense of his own.
#6. “ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? ARE YOU HURT?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Backstory flashback repeated a lot.
What happens: Baby Kacchan slips and falls into a creek. Baby Deku goes down to help him up and asks if he’s ok. This offends Baby Kacchan’s pride.
Why I like it: Bakugo probably never had anyone treat him like a fallible human being until Deku came along. Everyone told him he was amazing and could never be hurt - but Deku doesn’t. That bruises his ego at first, but in reality it’s exactly what he needs: Someone who cares about him and will protect him, while still admiring him. (Plus this scene is cute).
#5. HOW CAN HE SMILE… (MANGA SPOILERS. MASSIVE ONES)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chapter 210, Joint Training Arc
What Happens: In an effort to piss Deku off and get him to talk, Monoma using Shinso’s power taunts him about Bakugo, saying that Bakugo shouldn’t be able to smile since he destroyed All Might. Deku’s new quirk goes PsychoBerserker out of control in response.
Why I like it: Deku’s power-ups are often connected with Baku in some way. Like many superpowers, OFA seems to be fueled by emotions. So targeting Bakugo brings out Deku’s greatest powers. In this case, though, it’s not a villain trying to hurt him. It’s someone insulting him. And that means Deku will defend Kacchan’s honor and feelings as well as his safety.
#4. I GOT MY QUIRK FROM SOMEONE ELSE
Tumblr media Tumblr media
1.08 “Bakugo’s Start Line”
What Happens: Post Battle Trial Arc, Bakugo is in emotional freeful. Deku notices and chases after him, telling him for no goddamn good reason that he has an inherited power. Kacchan doesn’t believe him and instead pours his heart out to him, crying and promising to beat him.
Why I like it: Buncha reasons. 1) Deku ditches all his lovely friends, including Ochaco, to go comfort Kacchan. Even in the same way Ochaco just ditched Kaminari. 2) Deku tells Kacchan about OFA. He won’t tell anyone else, he just decided comforting Kacchan was more important than his entire reason for being here. 3) Kacchan cries in front of Deku and tells him how he feels insecure. He doesn’t do that in front of anyone else. 4) Warm lighting, deep eye contact, and the beginning of a beautiful rivalry.
#3. DEKU AND KACCHAN VS ALL MIGHT
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
2.24 “Katsuki Bakugo Origin”
What happens: Deku and Kacchan work together to fight AM, after a nasty fight. Deku calls Kacchan out for not being himself. Kacchan sacrifices his body to make sure Deku can escape. Deku socks AM in the face to protect Kacchan. They win.
Why I like it: For a moment that started out so dark (sock to the face), this one gets sweet fast. On Deku’s side: He reprimands Kacchan for not acting like himself, compliments his can-do- attitude, and works together with him, overcoming his fear; he finds the strength to punch AM in the face to save Kacchan, with a callback to ep 2. Kacchan’s strength helps Deku win. On Kacchan’s side: He works with Deku to win, giving him his gauntlet, and sacrifices his safety so Deku can get out, even sounding kinda concerned for him when he gets in danger. They showcase what a great team they could/will make when they work together.
#2. MY LEGS MOVED BEFORE I COULD THINK
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chapter 1/Episode 2: Izuku Midoriya Origin/What it Takes to be a Hero
What happens: Deku, in a fit of depression, sees the monster AM saved him from suffocating some kid. He’s freaking out till he sees that it’s Kacchan. He runs into deadly danger to save Kacchan, inspiring AM to save them both.
Why I like it: Because this moment changed Deku’s entire life and Kacchan’s as well. Deku’s legs ‘move’ before he can think. And it’s explicitly because it’s Kacchan in danger; he doesn’t move until he sees Kacchan’s terrified eyes. Kacchan also shows concern for Deku, telling him to get away (he didn’t say that to the pros trying to save him) so he doesn’t die. This is another scene that follows up on an awful fight between the two, and changes both lives forever. Saving Kacchan gets Deku OFA. Being saved by Deku opens Kacchan to his humility for the first time and stops him from hassling Deku. Plus, just a super-snippy moment to me.
BONUS: Anime only, OPS & EDS
OP 1: The Day

THE BEST:
#1. Deku vs Kacchan Part 2
Chapter 116-121/Episodes 3.22-3.23
Tumblr media
“It’s about your quirk…If your way of looking at him was right, does that mean my admiration was wrong?”
Tumblr media
“No matter how many times I pushed you away, you always keep coming back!”
Tumblr media
“We never talked about our real feelings…”
Tumblr media
“Why was I the reason for All Might’s end?”
Tumblr media
“The only one who can receive Kacchan’s feelings is me.”
Tumblr media
“To me, you were an amazing, inspiring person, who was much closer to me than All Might. That’s why I kept chasing after you” (is it me or does this sound exactly like Hinata’s love confession to Naruto in the Invasion of Pein arc?)
Tumblr media
“This is gross, so I can’t tell you, but…you’re my image of victory.”
Tumblr media
“If the two of you recognize each other, and honestly raise each other up, you can become the best heroes, who both win and rescue.”
What Happens: Deku and Kacchan tell each other how they really feel. Through a fight because Shonen.
Why I like it: AM himself says it. They’re perfectly matched. They need each other to become the greatest heroes. Kacchan knows he can only talk to Deku about how he’s feeling; nobody else can receive his feelings. Deku loves and admires Kacchan as his friend, not his Great Hero like AM. It’s just perfect.

See, even my brother gets it! Doesn’t take shipper goggles to pay attention! 😭
<BNHA 362 Spoilers>
Haters on twitter: “Haha, look at those bakudeku shippers, their ship just got sunk!”
Excuse me? No??? According to current leaks, Katsuki’s last thoughts were about whether he can keep up with Izuku, so they could be heroes side by side. About their cherished moment he’d never forgotten from their childhood. About how he still kept that moment (the AM card) close to himself even in battle. And even calling him “Izuku” instead of “Deku” in his mind.
That’s not a ship sinking, it’s literally SAILING ON HIGH TIDES BRO

Haters on twitter: “Haha, look at those bakudeku shippers, their ship just got sunk!”

I just asked my straight af, otaku brother with 10+ years of experience in generic and niche manga/anime/light novels, what he thinks of the current situation of bnha.
His reply: “Are we sure Horikoshi is a guy? I’ve never seen a male author’s manga push this hard [for two male characters’ relationship].”
Just pointing out that no other shonen has ever fucking actually said that the deuteragonist (/heroin in Katsuki’s case) is the main characters weakness. Ever. I have never fucking seen this happen before. They just ignore it usually or make sure to replace the deuteragonist with the love interest where it suits them.
What the f u c k

I was trying to find the Japanese raws of BNHA 348 in order to find out whether the narrator could’ve been Bakugou Katsuki...when I discovered that even the dudebros writing manga analysis articles unquestionably agreed it was him!
Yet...it’s all about whether Izuku or Katsuki ended up as the Greatest Hero as the narrator claimed, or if either of them died at the end of the story. None of them noticed the significance of having Katsuki narrate the chapter dealing with Izuku’s ROMANCE.
Seriously, you call yourself analysts?
