SogaDabi

SogaDabi is the slash ship between Soga Kugizaki and Toya "Dabi" Todoroki from the My Hero Academia fandom.

Canon
The two have never canonically interacted due to being from separate entries of the series, the Vigilantes spin-off and main series, respectively. Additionally, both are somewhat opposites in terms of their occupations. Dabi is a villain. Soga, on his part, is a vigilante and former Instant Villain.

Fanon
The ship is considered a rarepair within the MHA fandom. Its existence usually goes unnoticed and has appeared only recently. As well as that, the existence of Soga from My Hero Academia: Vigilantes or the spin-off itself is almost not known by many who are fans of the main series due to its mainstream appeal. There seems to be very few people who ship this pairing in the entirety of the My Hero Academia community. It is also outshined by other more mainstream pairings on Dabi's side. Ships that usually outshine it are Hot Wings and ShigaDabi.

In some way or another, Soga and Dabi share some similarities. Both are (or were in Soga's case) Villains who are antagonistic to the main characters. Both of them are mentally unstable. Both also show empathy for their comrades. And they have both suffered trauma that relates to their Quirks (Soga who suffered due to being referred to as a monster for his Quirk and Dabi working to the point of scarring himself with his Quirk to be acknowledged by his father). Fans like to think that they both try to cope with their problems in terms of mental health.

Soga and Dabi, despite never having met, are acquainted to the same person. Dabi is with the League of Villains and later the Paranormal Liberation Army, lead by Tomura Shigaraki, All for One's pupil. Meanwhile, Soga and Koichi, along with their allies, are fighting Number 6, who operated the Villain Factory, a request from All for One, which was also what caused Soga to initially be an Instant Villain at the time. Overall, they are both revealed to be somehow connected despite never meeting before.

Other portrayals show Dabi and Soga taking therapy lessons to heal from their mental state. In AUs sometimes Soga is still antagonistic to Koichi Haimawari, Kazuho Haneyama, and Iwao Oguro and somehow encounters Dabi and both eventually fall in love. This can also apply to a portrayal of Soga meeting the Todoroki family, which include other ships with the Todoroki family, such as EnjiRei, TodoMomo, TodoDeku, Huwumi, or other pairings that include them.

Another thing fans have noticed was the height difference between the two. Soga is the tallest as he measures 182cm (5/11⅝"), which is 6 centimeters taller than Dabi, who measures 176cm (5'9¼"). Some fans were slightly disappointed by the confirmed height difference.
