ShigaDabi

Shigadabi is the slash ship between Shigaraki Tomura and Dabi from the My Hero Academia fandom.

Canon
At first, the two villains hated eachother. In fact, they both tried to kill the other the first time they met. Dabi felt disgust towards Tomura, and in return, Shigaraki considered Dabi to be a rude individual with no manners.

Despite their attempt at killing eachother, Dabi follows Shigaraki's commands with little to no complaint, and Tomura considers him to be a valuable ally, even going as far as to give him his own Nomu and naming him leader of the Vanguard Action Squad.

Dabi is one of the only members actively trying to recruit more members into the league, despite burning most of them to a crisp when he sees them as non-worthy. Despite following Stain's will at first, it becomes evident that Dabi is taking to Tomura's way of thinking. When Snatch mentions the many victims Dabi burned to death, the latter seems proud of himself, claiming to be flattered by the fact that people are talking about him, going in direct contradiction with the Hero Killer's mentality and showing much more resemblance to Shigaraki's way of thinking.

When the League faces Gigantomachia, Dabi refuses to fight, claiming that he has a valuable ally waiting. Shigaraki allows him to avoid the fight, asking for him to bring back said asset. Later on, Dabi seems to follow Shigaraki's cues and goes all out on the remaining Meta Liberation Army members upon seeing Shigaraki do so.
