MiriDeku

MiriDeku is the slash ship between Mirio Togata and Izuku Midoriya from the My Hero Academia fandom.

Canon
Izuku and Mirio meet by surprise. Before introducing the Gandes to Class 1-A, Izuku freaks out at Mirio's presence. Meanwhile Mirio just smiles at him and leaves. Izuku is reunited when the Big Three appear before Class 1.A. Izuku is impressed by Mirio's fighting skills.

After the surprise first impression, Mirio accepts Izuku to take his internships at the agency of his teacher, Sir Nighteye, who was once All Might's old assistant. All Might reveals to Izuku who Mirio is in U.A. Its fundamental role before they knew it was to be the original successor of the Symbol of Peace.

The relationship between Mirio and Izuku in the Academy and the Agency is that of Senpai-Kōhai. In a short time, it became stronger after adversity. During the Internships, Izuku and Mirio meet a girl named Eri with a rare and powerful quirk. She turns out to be the victim of a yakuza organization. The rescue of Eri and the destruction of the yakuza organization will be planned by several agencies of heroes with the support of the police. Among the many agencies is that of Sir Nighteye. Izuku and Mirio end up being the protagonists of the mission.

The mission turns out to be a bittersweet victory for the heroes. Despite the fact that the yakuzas are defeated and Eri is rescued, Sir Nighteye ends up mortally wounded and Mirio loses his quirk because he becomes the victim of a bullet that destroys the quirk. But despite everything that happened, Mirio maintains his trust in Izuku. Despite the latter telling him repeatedly his desire to transfer the One for All to him and receiving a simple "No, Thank you" from Mirio.

Fanon
MiriDeku is a rather middle-known, but well-received ship within the My Hero Academia fandom. Since Izuku and Mirio are like brothers to Eri, MiriDeku shippers often headcanon Mirio and Izuku dating each other, while raising Eri together. However, MiriDeku is overshadowed by many Izuku ships, and MiriTama for Mirio. Izuku's more popular ships being, BakuDeku, IzuOcha, and TodoDeku. Nonetheless, MiriDeku still managed to get a good amount of shippers, mostly due to the friendship that the developed with each other in season 4. On AO3, the ship has 250+ fanfictions.
