canon that Dabi smells ass
I love that togachako are always holding hands. go girls!!!!
Late to the party but in desperate need to address this huge BakuDeku delight in the new chapter leaks of My Hero Academia: Team-Up Mission which is a spin-off manga by one of Horikoshi’s assistants, Yoco Akiyama.
DEー IZUKU, DRESSED UP AS KACCHAN. He looks so cute, he does his best trying to mimick Kacchan’s aggressive speech but omg he’s an actual sunshine.
Baby’s trying so hard hahahahaa.
Then, enter Iida, who has to do the Izuku-impression but lol he looks nothing like him and Bakugou is the one to lecture him for it. LOSE THE GLASSES! NOT ENOUGH FRECKLES! STOP WITH THAT POSTURE!
He helps Iida and tadah, mimick success (the robot recognizes Iida as Midoriya Izuku). Bakugou looks like a triumphant winner, “AAAAaaa!”, and Deku goes: “Kacchan…” probably surprised (WHY ARE YOU SURPRISED BABY) that Bakugou is the one and only Midoriya Izuku expert.
Can we all agree that Horikoshi’s team is so big part of bakudeku family I mean what the actualー 😍!!!!
As someone who plays volleyball AND watches Haikyuu I can agree with this 👍
sort of a mha x haikyuu au (just boys, girls will be a separate post!)
• Midoriya Izuku - Wing Spiker
Midoriya is actually around the same height as Hinata! I think similar to him, Midoriya would want to be a great player despite his height! I don’t see him as a middle blocker like Hinata though, or a libero which would be more fitting for his height. Those are primarily defensive positions and Midoriya is a pretty offensive fighter. I mean, his main move is literally called smash. I can see him smashing balls over the net with a killer spike. He’s a good blocker, just better at spiking. His serves need work but he’s good at receiving! He’s fast, like stupid fast. He analyzes the other team and tries to find their weaknesses. Extremely accident prone and gets injured during games because he’s constantly putting 120% into everything he does. Vice captain but prefers to let Iida run things. He will stay after practice and help out anyone who needs it!
• Bakugou Katsuki - Wing Spiker
It’s Bakugou, he would be the whole package. His spike and serve are the highlight though. Naturally competes with Midoriya since they play the same position. His only weakness is teamwork. He struggles to remember that he has to actually work as a team or they’ll lose. He’s good at receiving, but doesn’t like to. Would rather his teammates receive so he can spike the shit out of the ball. Everyone covers their heads when he serves because he puts so much power behind it that it can be hard to control. He wouldn’t be caught dead playing any other position.
• Todoroki Shouto - Setter
I can just see him as a setter. Todoroki tends to fight with more long range attacks. He’s calculated and is good at formulating the perfect set for each of his teammates. Keeping with his character, his dad is a famous volleyball player who trained him. His dad would want him to be a wing spiker and Todoroki originally played setter to spite him. Todoroki ended up actually liking the position. His favorite person to set to is Midoriya because he’s reliable. Initially had trouble syncing up with Bakugou but after a lot of practice, they become unstoppable. He also has a crazy good jump floater serve. His big weakness is receiving, but he’s a great blocker. Loves a good setter dump just to show off.
• Kirishima Ejirio - Middle Blocker
He would be an impenetrable wall, a defensive all star. He’s great at receiving as well. He’s not the best spiker and his serves are his major weakness. Kirishima sometimes would get too in his head during games and struggles with imposter syndrome. He’s a great teammate though and knows just how to cheer everyone up! Amazing at boosting morale during rough games. He likes to know that he’s supporting his teammates with his blocks and receives. Frequently stays after practice to block Bakugou’s spikes. In turn, Bakugou helps Kirishima with his serves.
• Iida Tenya - Middle Blocker
Iida would also be incredible defensively. Like Kirishima, he loves supporting his teammates with blocks and receives. Great at serving. He’s crazy fast and has amazing reflexes. He’s taller compared to the rest of class A (5’10) and uses his height to his advantage. Comes from a family of volleyball players. Team captain and runs practices like it’s the army. He loves volleyball and has a great amount of respect for the sport itself.
this is getting really long so I’m going to do a part 2!
Love how the "I'm fine"-"NO YOU'RE NOT" dynamic goes both ways
It seems like there's a very fine line between a fun little study tip and something that is going to turn into a compulsion
Me with bakudeku ❇️✴️
Go for it. Draw my OC. If you want, I’ll even give you reference posts. Go to town on it.
You are welcome to draw my OC and surprise me with the result. Seriously. In fact, I encourage it. I will proudly display whatever it is you submit to me regarding my OC. There is a chance that I will squeal about it for several days.
Even if you feel you aren’t good at whatever artistic adventure it is you do, please feel free to submit it to me. I want to see what you have done.

I appreciate you taking the time to explain your side—it’s way more thought-out than a lot of the discourse floating around, and I respect that. I think a lot of what you’re saying boils down to the difference between how people approach canon, and how they approach interpretation—and where those two things collide, especially in a fandom as big and heated as MHA’s.
You’re absolutely right that Horikoshi has only explicitly confirmed a few LGBT characters, and yeah, that matters—especially in a country like Japan where representation is still a sensitive topic. Canon is canon. But I think where we diverge is in how we treat what’s not canon. People using headcanons or reading queer subtext into character dynamics isn’t the same as claiming canon, even if fandom excitement sometimes blurs that line.
Interpretation has always been part of fandom culture—especially for marginalized fans who never got to see themselves in canon growing up. So when people say they see queer dynamics in bkdk, it’s not necessarily them rejecting canon; it’s them engaging with the story in a personal way. The emotional depth, the tension, the growth between Bakugo and Midoriya is intense—and people connect to that. Not everyone sees it as romantic, and that’s fine, but people who do aren’t delusional or disrespecting Horikoshi by doing so.
That said, the harassment you described? Completely unacceptable. No one should be told to kill themselves over a ship. That’s not “passion,” that’s toxicity—and it happens across all corners of fandom, even if you’ve mostly seen it from bkdk fans. I’ve seen plenty of ugly behavior come from other ship groups too, and I don’t think any one fandom owns toxicity. But if you were genuinely harassed like that? I’m sorry that happened to you, and you absolutely deserve to feel safe expressing your interpretations just like anyone else.
But the flip side is that queer fans also face harassment just for shipping a gay couple or reading queerness into a story. They’re not always attacking—they’re often defending. There are plenty of people who use “it’s just a headcanon” as a shield for saying really homophobic stuff. That’s why some bkdk fans are on edge. It’s not about labeling every disagreement as homophobic, but rather about patterns: dismissing queer readings while fully embracing weaker straight ones, mocking queer headcanons, or calling people delusional for something that’s been a part of fandom culture forever.
And while I get that queer coding can be complicated and sometimes rely on stereotypes, it’s also historically how queer people were allowed to exist in media for decades. It’s valid to be wary of that, but it’s also valid to explore it—especially when the subtext is there, whether intentional or not.
Finally, on the “let people ship” thing—I meant that literally. People should be able to engage with stories however they want, whether that’s canon-faithful, headcanon-heavy, romantic, platonic, or anything in between, so long as they’re not harming others. That includes you wanting to see bkdk as brotherly. That’s 100% valid. The problem is when either side starts treating the other like they’re ruining the story for everyone else just for seeing something differently.
So yeah—thanks for explaining your side. This kind of respectful convo is rare in fandom spaces, and I hope more people can have these discussions without turning it into a warzone.
