Explosive Hot-Heads

Explosive Hot-Heads is the het ship between Katsuki Bakugou and Yang Xiao Long from the My Hero Academia and RWBY fandoms.

Canon
As Yang and Katsuki are from different series, even though both of their home universes have superheroes, they have never met. Yang and Katsuki are both blondes that have red eyes (part-time for the former) and explosive powers who are easily angered and have some kind of involvement with the main character. They both go to top-notch schools where they learn to fight using their powers. They also eventually have some significant moments which leads to them changing and becoming somewhat less angry. For Yang it was losing her arm, and for Katsuki it was being defeated by his rival.

Some of the people in Yang’s group of friends are a little similar to Katsuki’s in traits, personalities, and backstories. Orange also appears to be Bakugo's main theme color and one of Yang's main theme colors. They both all seem to struugle with their insecurities internally and have a close relationship with the main character. Furthermore, both of their insecurities manifest in external rage, that ends up playing a part in their respective powers. The two both also have fire-based powers.

Fanon
Explosive Hot-Heads is one of the well liked ships of the RWBY/MHA crossover fandom. Some fanfics and art have the two existing in the same universe, where they fight.
