BakuMeli
 BakuMeli is the het ship between Katsuki Bakugou and Melissa Shield.

Canon
Melissa and Katsuki first meet in the first movie My Hero Academia: Two Heroes, although they had no interactions whatsoever. In their first meet, however, she asks why he is so angry. During the assault on I-Island, the 1-A students, especially Katsuki, work together to help I-Island from Wolfram's crew. In the Chapter 3 of the spin-off Team-Up Missions, in which Melissa makes an appearance again after the movie, Katsuki is among the audience used to spectate the inventions she and Mei Hatsume made. It can be noted that despite them appearing together, they almost never interacted. They are blond-hair people, and both have a great admiration towards All Might, only that Melissa have a special personal to him due to her father, David is All Might's best friend. Katsuki and Melissa has a different way of justice, since Melissa doesn't have a quirk but desires to study and get more knowledges to help other people with science just like his dad as the way she could be a hero, and Katsuki due he has a rather explosive quirk, he always tries to kill the enemy first and then check on his colleagues, but although he actually does care and gets worried about his partners even he doesn't shows it openly.

Melissa is a very energetic and kind woman who tries her best to help and always tries to cheer up others, while Katsuki is also energetic, but he is rather rude, loudmouth who somehow treats everyone like they're inferior to him. Melissa after meeting Izuku's class she wanted to know all their names and tried unlike Katsuki that he doesn't know their names and often calls them by nicknames he makes at the moment,but is quite intelligent since he does know everyone's quirk from their class.

Fanon
BakuMeli is considered a rare pairing, as they both have little to no interactions in the movie nor the spin-off. It is also due to the existence of Melissa, who only appeared in the said movie and spin-off and many members of the fandom only watching the main anime. However, it is one of the top ships for Melissa other than its rivals DekuMeli and the femslash ship MeiLissa. It rivals other popular ships such as KiriBaku and Kacchako for Katsuki, and the mentioned ships for Melissa.

They can be portrayed as hero and support hero, much like the het ship IzuMei, which eventually causes them to grow closer to romance. It can also be portrayed similarly to canon, much like its other rivalling ships.

BakuGara
 BakuGaru is the slash ship between Katsuki Bakugou and Togaru Kamakiri.

Canon
Due to their differing classes (Katsuki in 1-A. Togaru in 1-B), Togaru and Katsuki do not interact commonly, especially with the lack of screen-time for the students of Togaru’s class, and for the fact that Katsuki is usually seen with Eijiro (and to a lesser degree, Denki) when 1-B does make an appearance, or simply, is not an area to come across him, much less interact with him.

Katsuki and Togaru are placed on opposing teams for their Battle Trials, with the respective members of Kyoka, Rikido and Hanta on Katsuki’s team, and Tokage, Bondo and Yosetsu on Togaru’s. Mid-fight, Togaru jumps out of hiding towards an unsuspecting Kyoka to attack her with his blades. Before he can get her, Katsuki notices him, and thinks to himself that “nobody beats him (me) when it comes to speed.”

He kicks Kyoka to push her to safety, and uses an explosion to push Togaru back. As the smoke clears, Togaru gives him an incredulous look, and it’s seen that he blocked the most of Katsuki’s explosion with the defense provided by his blades. At this, Katsuki says “Blocked my blast, huh. I guess bugs (Togaru’s quirk gives him the likeness of a bug) do have quick reflexes!” Katsuki detonates another, stronger explosion at Togaru, who then takes this as an opportunity to retreat, realizing that it’s not smart to attempt to take Katsuki on directly. Later, Katsuki is shown as he performs a move of his, dubbed ‘Explode-A-Pult’, which smashes Togaru into a nearby wall, and allows his teammates to ‘capture’ him. The match ends with the victory of Katsuki’s team after Tokage is defeated.

Fanon
Katsuki and Togaru look incredibly different, being that Togaru looks like a literal insect, but their personalities are just the same, in brief reflection. Both are notably volatile, or angry people by nature, and often voice as such. Such similar personalities allow for a sort of connection, or understanding of each other, given the shared sense of emotions. Enjoyers of the pairing like to consider the two helping one another work through, or simply cope with their rage through this.

Another trait, as fans just seem to be this way, is undeniably the height difference between the boys. What can be inferred to be the outcome of the physical mutations from his quirk have Togaru standing 17 centimeters (about 6.7 inches) above Katsuki, who reaches no more, no less than the height of a typical boy of his age.

EraserDeku
 EraserDeku is the family ship between Izuku Midoriya and Aizawa Shouta. AKA: Aideku, Aizawadeku, Aiizu, Aidoriya

Canon
Izuku Midoriya goes to UA High School, his main homeroom teacher being Shota Aizawa. At first, Shota had his doubts about Izuku passing the Hero course, but after seeing him channel his power and eventually have complete control over One for All.

Aizawa often views Izuku as a problematic student due to his actions and behavior throughout the seasons and arcs. He is infamous for following his heart (but also relies on his logic) as he decides to charge into a fight. Aizawa begins to look at Izuku this way from Episode 5, season 1 where the teen tries to use his quirk on his whole hand during the ball throw.

​​​​​Shota has proven to be very vocal and unafraid when expressing his ideas. He often is straight to the point when dealing with Izuku, stating how the boy's trouble is bothersome and will get him hurt. is one main example in which Shota is almost fed up and disappointed at how Izuku constantly injures and beats up his body.

Shota cares for Izuku a bit more than the other students, seeing as Izuku is his most problematic student and often surprises him.

Quotes
"No good hero is a one trick pony."

- Shota, to Izuku.

"I'm watching you. If you act again, we'll go by the formal procedures this time around, Midoriya. Got it, problem child?"

- Shota, to Izuku.

Fanon
In the Eastern fanbase, it is shipped and loved even though being quite a complicated ship and relationship. Some parts of the Western fanbase are comfortable with it, but most are quite uncomfortable with it due to the Teacher-Student relationship and age gap. However, this discourse does not hinder those who love the interactions and relationship between the two, and neither does it stop others from shipping it.

Most EraserDeku fans started shipping the two from Episode 5, but it began to grow after the Forest Training Camp Arc.

EraserDeku fans often write fics, draw art or create content, for the duo, in angst, fluff, slow burn, time travel, or soulmate AU tags. On AO3, EraserDeku has are 193+ works and counting.

EraserMight
 EraserMight is the slash ship between Shota Aizawa and Toshinori Yagi.

Canon
Not much is known of their past, but due to their contrasting personalities, they do not get along very well. Shota disliking heroes that lap up the media spotlight being a major point of contention. Toshinori and Shota also frequently disagree with teaching methods, with Toshinori criticizing Shota's harsher attitude towards their students. Nevertheless, the two do show mutual respect for each other and their abilities, and both being willing to risk their personal safety to protect the other such as in the Unforeseen Simulation Joint Arc. Over the course of the series, Shota and All Might's relationship appears to have gotten a little better, particularly after All Might's retirement. Shota counseled with All Might regarding their job to have students enter the dormitories. The two also offered to buy each other a drink, indicating they are both willing to socialize together casually.

FaTama
 FaTama is the slash ship between Tamaki Amajiki and Taishiro Toyomitsu.

Canon
Tamaki and Fat Gum have a teacher-student relationship and whenever Tamaki works as a hero, he can be seen talking or fighting alongside Fat Gum, showing that he is always working at his agency. Although their personalities are opposite, they show great teamwork and complement each other.

Tamaki seems to perceive his working relationship with Fat Gum a little more negatively due to his negative personality, but despite those thoughts in his mind, Tamaki never left his agency and does not seem uncomfortable fighting side-by-side with Fat Gum, except when he talks about his fragile mentality or when he compliments him during or after a fight.

Fat Gum thinks highly of Tamaki and sees great potential in him, he is also seen constantly praising his abilities for being above most professional heroes and complimenting him on his attacks and maneuvers. Fat Gum is also direct and honest with Tamaki when he has to be and realizes Tamaki's flaws and weaknesses and what he has to improve on, such as his shy personality. But Fat Gum is shown to care deeply for Tamaki when he is in danger or when he is put under a lot of pressure, behaving like a father or older brother to Tamaki and seeing the efforts he had to go through to perfect his Quirk.

Although I know it is still unknown how they met, if he knows that at some point Fat Gum hired Tamaki to work in his agency and one day Tamaki recommended Eijiro Kirishima to work in his agency, surprising Fat Gum, but quickly accepting Eijiro at his agency, showing that he trusts Tamaki's judgment.

Fat Gum is seen for the first time in history alongside Tamaki and Eijiro while on patrol in a nearby city. After Fat Gum finishes talking to Eijiro, he tells Tamaki that he needs to fix his terrible mentality as he has a lot of potential, which emphasizes Tamaki a bit. Tamaki says that he thinks the only reason Fat Gum chose him as an intern was to torment him and calls it workplace bullying, but Eijiro assures Tamaki that Fat Gum was only trying to encourage him.

Before they could continue their conversation, a group of criminals appear and Fat Gum jumps in to catch them. Fat Gum catches them with his fat, but one of them escapes and is quickly caught by Tamaki's tentacles. When the criminals are handed over to the police, Eijiro congratulates Tamaki and Fat Gum tells him that Tamaki's Quirk has already surpassed many professional heroes and that the only thing he should focus on changing is his fragile mentality, while Tamaki was paralyzed by the crowd of civilians who congratulated them.

Fanon
FaTama is mostly loved inside and outside of Japan and is sent despite being a teacher and student relationship. Unlike other Ships like EraserDeku, some fans have no problem shipping them because their ages and height don't differ much.

Mostly those who send them like their opposite personalities and compare them to other Tamaki Ships and are amused by their funny and mocking dynamic on the Fat Gum side, but what they like the most is the fact that despite their differences they get along good and the more moments you have the more they start to send them.

GrapeFrog
 GrapeFrog is the het ship between Tsuyu Asui and Minoru Mineta.

Canon
In terms of canon, Asui is arguably the girl that Mineta is closest to in Class 1-A, with the two teaming up on numerous occasions, such as during the USJ incident, and the cavalry battle. Despite being disgusted by Mineta's frequently perverted behaviour and usually slapping him with her tongue when he makes inappropriate remarks, she has been impressed numerous times by Mineta's keen intellect, such as his successful strategy to lure Midnight away from escape gate to rescue Sero and pass the exam, his strategy to hide himself, and Tsuyu herself on Shoji's back during the sports festival, and his successful usage of his quirk during the USJ incident, where he saved her and Izuku Midoriya from the incoming villains, earning her praise in almost all of these scenarios.

Fanon
In fanon, GrapeFrog shippers usually include the ship in fanfiction involving Mineta redeeming himself and outgrowing his perverted tendencies, with Asui helping him to do so.

GrapeFrog is not a very popular ship, as Mineta is arguably the most hated character amongst the My Hero Academia fandom due to his perverted nature, and that Asui is more frequently shipped with Tokoyami, Uraraka, Izuku, and even Toga.

Yoichi and the second user formally met when he came to rescue Yoichi from imprisonment. Despite knowing that Yoichi was the brother of All For One, the second user still reached his hand out to Yoichi and offered his support. Yoichi was incredibly grateful to the second user for rescuing him, going so far as to call him his hero. Because of this, Yoichi chose the second user to inherit One For All and fight against All For One.

Fanon
Although the ship is considered a rarepair due to them being recently introduced in the manga, it is a ship parallel to BakuDeku, an already popular ship, from appearances to ideals. Additionally, the pairings are One for All users (although it was only temporary for Katsuki Bakugou), fuelling the IchiNi ship.

InaCamie
 InaCamie is the het ship between Inasa Yoarashi and Camie Utsushimi

Canon
While Shoto is deep in his thoughts, Inasa shows up, greeting him and Katsuki with "Heyyy, UA!", Shoto still keep his frown and thoughts to himself; "Definitely didn't want to deal with him..." before Camie shows up from behind Inasa, asking Inasa who's this (Shoto), "What a specimen", saying that she's awestruck, really, thinking that it's a delight getting to take the course with a handsome man, she looks at Inasa and states that he seems to know 'this cutie', she introduces herself to Shoto and exchanges phone numbers with Shoto. Inasa, seeing them interacting, energetically said with a loud voice, saying that nobody beats Camie when it comes to playing the field, he could learn a thing or two! He seems to not realize that Camie is flirting, not doing some 'Wanna be friends?' thing.

After Gang Orca throws Inasa, Shoto and Katsuki, Camie stares at him being irritated with a clueless look.

MidoHosBed
 MidoHosBed is the cargo ship between Izuku Midoriya and his hospital bed. AKA: DekuHosBed, IzuHosBed

Canon
The first time Izuku (also know as Deku) lays in a hospital bed is after his fight in the USJ attack, during which he sustained a lot of injures. His hospital bed was very plain, just like him.

Deku and the hospital bed have gotten a lot of screen time together, as Deku is very reckless when it comes to his quirk. Because of this, he would end up in the nurse's office a lot. There he would rest in the hospital bed peacefully.

Deku has gained much more control over his quirk, and because of this, Deku has not had as many interactions recently.

Fanon
Some of the My Hero Academia fandom label MidoHosBed as 'The Best Ship,' while others hate it. Most of the fandom ships it as a joke. However, some ship it seriously. Fans works normally have Deku hugging his hospital bed a lot and calling it his savior. The are not many fanfictions of this ship but there is a lot of fan art. Some fans believe they have developed somewhat a bond.

MiriDeku
 MiriDeku is the slash ship between Mirio Togata and Izuku Midoriya.

Canon
Izuku and Mirio meet by surprise before introducing the Gandes to Class 1-A, Izuku freaks out at Mirio's presence while Mirio just smiles at him and leaves. Izuku is reunited when the Big Three appear before Class 1.A and 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. and its fundamental role before they knew it: 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, which in a short time, became stronger after adversity. During the Internships, Izuku and Mirio meet a girl named Eri with a rare and powerful quirk, who is 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 with Izuku and Mirio as protagonists of the mission.

The mission turns out to be a bittersweet victory for the heroes because, 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 in 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.

Setsugou
 Setsugou is the het ship between Setsuna Tokage and Katsuki Bakugou.

Canon
The two do not interact anywhere near often, due to being in separate classes. However, they do meet rather late in the series; Katsuki and Tokage are on opposing teams during the joint training battles, where their teams compete against one another in the fourth set of said training.

Before the match begins, Neito, albeit in a spiteful manner, states that he was excited to see the match turnout, as Tokage, a student entered in U.A. through recommendation (like Shoto and Momo) had been pit against Katsuki, and he firmly believes she would be the one to finally defeat the ever-powerful Katsuki in combat.

Later, at the battle start, Katsuki decides his ideal win strategy is to locate his opponents before they do him, and release a full-powered attack to seal victory. However, he greatly undermined Tokage’s quirk, and general strength, and ended up quickly found, and bombarded by her disembodied parts (Tokage’s quirk is Lizard, she can split her body into a total of 50 controllable pieces). Surprisingly, Katsuki struggles against her more than typically observed, as her split parts were too small for him to accurately target. He does manage to escape her in time to rescue Kyoka from Togaru’s blades, which gives Tokage the realization that she couldn’t defeat Katsuki as easily as she’d previously conceded. After this, she gives a brief rundown to her team about how to take down the others, her plan mains on targeting only Katsuki, as he is the only one with plans, and is the “leader” of his team. Unfortunately for her, as Katsuki had undermined her, she in turn undermined his newfound teamwork with his classmates, and ended up as the last one left of her group. Before Katsuki can deal the finishing blow on her, Tokage yells at him, “Why’d you have to go and change so much..” to which Katsuki replies, “I didn’t change, my goal has always been the same.. to defeat All Might and become the number one hero!”

Fanon
Due to the two being so separate, SetsuBaku is not particularly popular within the MHA/BNHA fanbase, and is thus listed as a “rare-pair”. However, like all rare-pairs do, it does have a decent following, thanks to the competitive, spitfire personalities of both Tokage and Katsuki, and the determination for victory the two share. Like the majority of 1-B students, with the exceptions of Tetsutetsu and Itsuka, for example, Tokage does not have too large of a shipping community, and thus, lacks rival ships on her part. When it comes to Katsuki, though he has arguably the largest base of fans, and rival ships, the largest ones being BakuDeku and KiriBaku.

ShinOji
 ShinOji is the slash ship between Mashirao Ojiro and Hitoshi Shinso.

Canon
Shinso and Ojiro are barely shown interacting in the anime or manga.

Their only canon interaction is during the Sports Festival Arc, when Shinso uses his mind control quirk to use Ojiro for his cavalry battle team (along with several others). After the cavalry battle is over and Shinso's team moves onto the next event, Ojiro resigns from the festival because he does not feel as like it was fair that he should be allowed to compete in the next event, since he has no memory of participating in the previous event.

Ojiro later warns Deku about Shinso's quirk because he doesn't approve of Shinso's method of winning.

During Shinso and Deku's battle, Shinso insults Ojiro by calling him a "monkey" and saying that he kept "going on about his pride" and "he was dumb for throwing away his chance."

In the manga, during the battles between 1-A and 1-B, Shinso reappears and Ojiro is shown to look irritated by his appearance. They do not officially interact, however.

Fanon
Though they don't have much interaction in canon, ShinOji seems to have a decent following within the fandom.

Most of their following comes from the idea of Shinso apologizing to Ojiro after the sports festival and eventually becoming friends with him.

With the 1-A & 1-B battle arc involving Shinso in the manga, the idea of them becoming rivals or sparring partners also became a popular idea.

Another idea within the fandom for this ship is their similar yet different personalities. Both are more on the side character side of the show, but as their personalities are shown Shinso is a tired type personality yet can be very tough when determined, on the other hand Ojiro is shown to be a very laid back character who can stay calm in most situations, while still maintaining a fighting spirit. They both can be very tough in their own was when it comes to being determined which is where the idea of their fun dynamic comes from.

An upside to both of these characters not being shown often, is that while we can see the base of their personality there's always room to develop fanon parts and explore more into these characters.

ShinRei
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> ShinRei is the het ship between Hitoshi Shinso and Reiko Yanagi from the My Hero Academia fandom.

Canon
Reiko and Hitoshi are not seen together commonly, due to their differing classes (Reiko in 1-B, Hitoshi in 1-C). However, they do have a few select moments throughout the course of the series, and can be seen together in the background on occasion when the first years are gathered. Notably, both share a somewhat eerie, almost ‘zombie-like’ appearance, both being rather pale in complexion, Reiko’s sleepy expressions and habit of holding her arms out (like a horror movie zombie!), and Hitoshi’s consistent tired looks with heavy, prominent eyebags. Without many previous interactions, Hitoshi and Reiko are paired (alongside Nirengenki, Neito and Yui) against the team of Izuku, Ochako, Mina, and Minoru for the 5th, and final set of the Joint Battles. The two gather with their other teammates, and as a whole, discuss the best strategy to lead themselves to a win against 1-A.

Nirengenki says that since the entirety of the 1-A team has quirks less suited to attack, and more of strategy/technicality, they should take a similar, tactical approach against the enemy. Ever the goth, Reiko adds that Izuku will be the one 'haunting' them the most. Hitoshi expresses confusion over the meaning of this phrase, to which Nirengenki answers that it's her way of saying Izuku would be hardest to defeat. Hitoshi agrees with her in further detail, that they should definitely prioritize Izuku. The battle turns out with Hitoshi being the main one to go against Izuku, with the backup of Reiko’s Poltergeist to move objects towards their other opponents who they consider less of a danger to their win (Mina, Ochako, Minoru), and later, Yui’s Size to enlarge potential projectiles. Unfortunately, this doesn’t prove to be enough to defeat the 1-A team, and the team loses the match. However, it becomes a given that Hitoshi’s performance is enough to bring him into the hero course (from general studies) in his second year at U.A, and potentially in 1-B like Reiko.

Fanon
ShinRei is a ‘rare-pair’ in the MHA/BNHA fandom due to the combination of their lack of screen-time, and interactions together, which brings less to guess on how Hitoshi and Reiko would act together, much less how they would behave in a relationship. However, the similarities between the two, more specifically their ‘spooky’ attributes and tiredness bring attention to the couple, and of course, shipping potential.

The ship has about 20 fics on AO3, and is Reiko’s most written pairing.

SogaDabi
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> SogaDabi is the slash ship between Soga Kugizaki and Toya "Dabi" Todoroki.

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 being a villain and Soga being a vigilante and former Instant Villain.

Fanon
The ship is considered a rarepair due to its existence being 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. There seem 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; Hot Wings and ShigaDabi.

In some way or another, Soga and Dabi share some similarities, as both are (or were in Soga's case) Villains who are antagonistic to the main characters, both are mentally unstable, both shows empathy for their comrades, 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, with Dabi being with the League of Villains and later the Paranormal Liberation Army, lead by Tomura Shigaraki, All for One's pupil, while 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, both meeting in this way somehow, an AU where 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 being 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.

Trivia

 * Their ship name, PorcuSnake, references them being a porcupine and a snake, in respective order. In Horikoshi's Volume 30 character page, Dabi has been depicted as a snake, while Soga has been depicted as a porcupine in the Vigilantes manga.

TamaBaku
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> TamaBaku is the slash ship between Katsuki Bakugo and Tamaki Amajiki from the My Hero Academia fandom.

Canon
Katsuki and Tamaki do not know each other and have not been seen together or speaking in Manga canon because when the Big Three appeared before the Class 1-A students, Katsuki was still being punished for his fight against Izuku.

However Tamaki seems to know who Katsuki is thanks to Kirishima. In School Briefs vol.4 Kirishima and Tamaki were patrolling and they mention the fight between Izuku and Katsuki Bakugo the other day and then Kirishima starts sharing Katsuki characteristics with Tamaki and says that Katsuki is just the type of guy to tell you how he really feels and be honest with himself.

During the filler Episode of Season 5, the students of Class 1-A are in a training exercise in which Tamaki and Nejire acted as villains against Class 1-A while Mirio acted as Civilian in distress. After Tamaki defeats Izuku, Kirishima, Katsuki and Denki appear and Tamaki and Katsuki briefly face each other (being their first interaction in the Anime) until Tamaki is scared of Katsuki's angry face and Katsuki takes advantage of this to derive it.

Despite the victory of Class 1-A in the drill and the congratulations of his teammates for taking down Tamaki, Katsuki still about Tamaki, says that he hasn't finished yet and Tamaki is surprised as Katsuki angrily tells him that he held back on him. Before Tamaki could answer him that his angry face scared him, Katsuki yells not to underestimate him and even if he was acting like a Villain, he is a Villain and is his enemy and then put his hand on Tamaki's face and throw a big explosion, while Tamaki with tears in his eyes says internally that he should have gone home.

Fanon
TamaBaku is amongst the rarest of pairs due to their lack of interactions, and the absolute difference between them. However, a few fans have found their potential dynamic interesting enough to work, and commonly portray them as meeting through Kirishima.

A popular headcanon among TamaBaku and KiriBaku fans is for Bakugo to be jealous of Tamaki's closeness to Kirishima and ignore or confront and fight Tamaki about it. Sometimes the headcanons usually end with Bakugo realizing that Kirishima was never in love with Tamaki or fixing things with Tamaki and befriending him and finding out that there was no romance between Tamaki and Kirishima.

Some fans speculate that in the future, Bakugo and Tamaki will work together as Izuku, Bakugo, and Shoto are considered to be U.A.'s next The Big Three and Izuku and Shoto have already worked with Mirio and Nejire at some point. The theories have been made on the basis that some fans have realized that Izuku and Shoto have already interacted and fought side by side together with a member of The Big Three in long and important arcs (Izuku together with Mirio during the Shie Hassaikai Arc and Shto alongside Nejire in Paranormal Liberation War Arc) and suspect that Bakugo and Tamaki will interact and fight side by side in a possible major arc of the manga.

TamaDeku
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> TamaDeku is the slash ship between Izuku Midoriya and Tamaki Amajiki.

Canon
Izuku hasn't interacted with Tamaki as much as with Mirio, but they seem to be on good terms. Izuku and Tamaki met when the Big Three appeared before the Class 1-A students, though they did not interact or speak due to Tamaki's shyness towards the students. When Mirio challenges the Class 1-A students to a fight, Tamaki is in the corner watching the fight and Tamaki is seen listening as Izuku gathers some of his classmates together to form a strategy to counter Mirio before they are taken down, despite their determination.

They meet again when Sir Nighteye makes a meeting where Izuku, Tamaki and other Heroes met to talk about the Yakuza. When Fat Gum reveals that Tamaki was shot by a Quirk-Destroying Drug, Izuku shows a worried face as Mirio asks Tamaki if he's okay. During the operation against the Shie Hassaikai and the rescue of Eri, Izuku was shocked when Tamaki wanted to stay behind to fight three of the eight bullets and Tamaki asked Izuku to take care of Mirio because he could act recklessly. After Izuku fights Chisaki, Tamaki along with other Heroes watch Eri's Quirk spiral out of control and start hurting Izuku.

During the filler chapter of Season 5, the students of Class 1-A are in a training exercise in which Tamaki and Nejire acted as villains against Class 1-A while Mirio acted as Civilian in danger. Izuku despite having the opportunity to hit Tamaki and knowing that he was only acting like a villain, refused to hit him and hugged him and asked him to surrender (being the only one who did not try to hurt Tamaki). When Tamaki asked Izuku why he didn't hit him, Izuku replies that he didn't dare hurt him.

"Please take care of Mirio!. He's definitely going to try too hard, so please help him."

TenFuyu
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> TenFuyu is the het ship between Tensei Iida and Fuyumi Todoroki from the My Hero Academia fandom.

Canon
The two came from both respective family, family of heroes (Iida Family that are already have heroes ancestors and Todoroki Family have the Number One Hero as the head of the family). The two also have a younger sibling, youngest brother to be specific, that are a hero-in-training, Tenya Iida and Shoto Todoroki and they're in the same class, Class 1-A. Their younger brothers are also close friends, of course, they're close is technically also because of Tensei, being attacked by Stain so Tenya planned revenge and then Izuku Midoriya and Shoto rescues him. The two shares the same helpful and kind personalities, and the two have a feeling of regret that also involving their younger brother (Tensei have a feeling of regret that he couldn't be "Ingenium" who runs fast and apologizes to Tenya for disappointing his brother after Stain attacked him while Fuyumi have the feeling that she "couldn't do anything for Shoto" remains in her heart. This is also what inspired her to become a teacher, as she felt that she couldn’t protect her youngest brother).

Tensei is a strong leader, which has been displayed on multiple occasions. He carefully directed Team Idaten to a location on the Naruhata district highway to place a safety blockade in order to trap the Bat Villain. Tensei was even able to calm the passengers that were onboard the bus that the Monster Cat had overshadowed, and instructed Team Idaten to match the speed of the amalgamated entity so that they can prepare for the transfer of the passengers. When one of the riders expressed concern over transferring people at a high speed, Tensei assured him and the other commuters that his new recruit, Enigma, is a reliable source for the extraction. When one rider was still inside of the Monster Cat, Tensei advised Koichi to stay close behind him, while at the same time, Tensei himself moves ahead and Koichi avoids combat and reckless locomotion, meanwhile Fuyumi, as a teacher, an elementary school teacher to be exact, of course she need the ability to lead her students. That means the two have leadership skills.

The two are kind-hearted person who cares deeply for their family, Fuyumi took on a nurturing role for her younger brother, Shoto, during their mother, Rei's absence and Tensei is the one who motivates Tenya to be a hero, and When he was joyful when he knew that his younger brother admired his work as a pro hero as a result of him taking up the hero mantle of his family, his image for himself was that he wanted to 'be cool' and be the type of hero that helps others when they are in need of help

Fanon
The fan paired them due to the close relationship of Shoto and Tenya, and likes the idea of them being surprised when the two marries each other. Some fics also put that Shoto is the one who matchmake them or Tenya is the one who matchmake them, because of the 'My bro's brother gotta marry my sister' trope

TodoNeji
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> TodoNeji is the het ship between Shoto Todoroki and Nejire Hado. AKA: Nejiroki, TodoHado, NejiTodo, HadoTodo

Canon
Shoto and Nejire have not interacted directly, but apparently they have a good relationship and a great capacity for teamwork. The first time they spoke was when the Big Three introduced themselves to the students from Class 1-A. When Nejire first met Shoto she invasively asked him personal questions, and about how he got his scar which made him uneasy. She expressed interest and familiarity upon seeing him, to later be distracted with the other students.

During the Paranormal Liberation War, following Nejire and Tenya's arrival on the battlefield, she and Shoto effectively teamed up against a weakened Tomura Shigaraki. Nejire blast the villain from Shoto and he showed faith that the two of them could defeat him. They later combined their super special moves⁏ Jet Kindling and Nejire Flood, in an effort to defeat him, showing deep teamwork and determination. When Endeavor was in shock upon finding out Dabi's identity, Shoto proclaimed he and Nejire would fight, further showing his confidence in their teamwork. After Dabi burns Nejire, Shoto frantically yells her name in concern. This would prompt him to directly challenge the villain.

Fanon
Despite being a rarepair, this ship is seen as unique by the fandom. Nejire showing immediate interest and enthusiasm upon seeing Shoto can be seen as the starting potential for a ship. Their teamwork during the Paranormal Liberation War Arc suggests comparability between them. Shoto being distraught after seeing Nejire burned by Dabi and attacking him afterward can be seen as showing how much he cares about her. Further, this brings Nejire into the conflict between the two siblings, giving her more of a personal connection to Shoto. It is seen as an opposite attracts pairing as Nejire's outgoing attitude would help Shoto socialize more. She would also have numerous questions about his quirk, which would amuse him.

TodoShin
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> TodoShin is the slash ship between Shoto Todoroki and Hitoshi Shinso.

Canon
Shoto and Hitoshi are not seen together commonly, due to their differing classes (Shoto in 1-A, Hitoshi in 1-C) and Hitoshi's 'hatred' towards the Hero Course Students, mainly 1-A. But in the Joint Battle Training, Hitoshi get into the 1'st team (Hitoshi, Denki, Eijirou, Tsuyu and Koji) and 5'th team (Hitoshi, Neito, Rei, Nirengeki and Yui). Meanwhile, Shoto is on the 3'rd team (Shoto, Tenya, Mashirao and Mezo). So they didn't get the chance to speak with each other. Only Shoto, who listens to Hitoshi's speech.

Fanon
The fans love this since the Season 5 aired and Hanta points out that Hitoshi is an Early'Roki. That nickname means that Hitoshi's mindset is the same like Shoto's mindset in the past, but still, since they got literally no interactions, this ship is one of the so called a 'rare-pair's in the show. The rival ships of this is ShinDeku on Hitoshi's side and TodoDeku on Shoto's side, together they become a poly ship called TodoShinDeku. The fandom pictures them like when Hitoshi says about he's there not to become friends, Shoto told him that he also experience that phase but the next day, he 'got roped into a 3 AM McDonalds run which led into a run-in with the police', which that means that he got soften out.

Trivia

 * Shoto and Hitoshi are both cat lovers.

TodoShoji
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> TodoShoji is the slash ship between Shoto Todoroki and Mezo Shoji.

Canon
Mezo and Shoto are assigned to Team B for their Battle Trials, to fight as the ‘hero’ team against Team I, which consisted of Toru and Mashirao. As they roam the battlegrounds, Mezo uses his Dupliarms to create a number of extra ears, as to make scoping out their opponents easier, and eventually locates them on the fourth floor of the building, and adds that the two are most likely barefoot, with Toru attempting to ambush them. After gaining this information, Shoto calmly asks Mezo to exit the building “for his safety.”

Once Mezo leaves, Shoto uses his right side to release a complete coat the building with his ice, freezing both their opponent’s shoeless feet to the ground, and sealing his and Mezo’s victory in the trial. Afterwards, Shoto uses his left side to first free Mashirao, and then unfreeze the rest of the ice-coated building, but not without taunting Mashirao on the difference of strength between the two of them. After cleaning up, Shoto exits the building. As he does, Mezo is shown as he watches him in amazement.

During the Training Camp, the students fall under attack by the LoV, who make it apparent that a main target of the event is Katsuki, or rather, to kidnap him. Shoto and Mezo both manage to group near Katsuki, and make a shared effort alongside Izuku and Fumikage to protect Katsuki. However, they end up unsuccessful after Katsuki is sneakily nabbed by Mr. Compress, and unable to be grabbed to safety. They, alongside the others express great disappointment in having failed.

Fanon
Due to their lack of interactions, and more popular ships of TodoDeku and TokoShoji, TodoShoji is not particularly popular in the MHA/BNHA fandom, but as the two are both commonly read as MLM, regardless of the ship, as well as their quiet personalities, the two are seen as reasonable love interests for one another, thus bringing the pairing decent attention.

Trivia

 * Mezo and Shoto both have mutations from their quirks, although Mezo’s arms and elongated face are much more prominent than Shoto’s bicolored hair.

TogaTsuyu
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> TogaTsuyu is the femslash ship between Tsuyu Asui and Himiko Toga.

Canon
Tsuyu and Himiko have had minimal interactions, but like with Ochaco, Himiko shows interest in Tsuyu as soon as she meets her and tries to befriend her, much to Tsuyu's annoyance.

Himiko and Tsuyu meet in the forest when the League of Villains attacks the camp and Himiko confronts Tsuyu and Ochaco. After Tsuyu drives Ochaco away from Himiko's attack, Himiko attacks Tsuyu with her knife and hears Ochaco calling Tsuyu by his first name. Himiko smiles upon hearing Ochaco call Tsuyu by her name and decides to do the same while claiming that she wants to be his friend.

Tsuyu is upset that Himiko called her by her first name as that is something only her close friends can do, and before she can react, Himiko pushes her towards a tree and approaches flushed to look at the blood that comes out of Tsuyu's tongue from her attack. After Ochaco saves Tsuyu from Himiko, the League of Villains leaves the camp and Himiko confesses to the League that she made some friends, while when the boys ask Tsuyu and Ochaco who Himiko was, Tsuyu only tells them that she was a lunatic.

Fanon
TogaTsuyu isn't really popular due to the two not actually meeting other than the fight in the forest. Many fans think it's abusive or toxic due to Toga's bloodlust and so don't ship it. Although some people think that the ship has potential, like in TogaDeku's case, many believe that TogaTsuyu would be the perfect ship in Tsuyu villain AU's. The ship is often overshadowed by Togaraka, TogaDeku, TsuChako, TokoTsuyu, and more ships.

TokoHawks
TokoHawks is the friendship between Fumikage Tokoyami and Hawks.

Canon
Fumikage has respect for Hawks, the Pro Hero with whom he did his Hero Agency Internships and Hero Work-Studies. At first, Fumikage could barely keep up with Hawks, who essentially resolved everything by himself. Their sidekicks told him that their role is essentially to perform the clean up work after a job. Being relegated to this role caused Fumikage to ask why Hawks chose him.

When Fumikage asks Hawks about this, he replies that 20% of the reason is because both are birds, and 50% because he wanted to talk to someone from Class 1-A about the League of Villains. While he filled Hawks in on the U.S.J. Incident, frustration boiled up inside him, and he left the workplace training without having learned anything.

Fumikage then recounts his Internship with Hawks, who had invited him again. Hawks notices the improvement in Fumikage's techniques. After a patrol, Hawks takes Fumikage on a flight, and tells him that the remaining 30% of why he invited him was because he thought that Fumikage was wasting a lot of his potential. Hawks tells him that he should be able to move much more freely as a bird with wings, and that he need not be confined to the ground. With the help of Hawks, Fumikage devises a new move named, "Black Fallen Angel".

Having been trained by him, Fumikage believes that the responsibility of representing the No. 2 hero falls onto him.

Fumikage cares greatly for his mentor. After learning he's present at the mansion, Fumikage is shown to be worrying about Hawks. Later, after spotting Hawks' burning feathers, Fumikage races back to the mansion and saves him from Dabi, going directly against the orders of the Pro Heroes. Despite hearing from Dabi that he killed Twice, Fumikage doesn't think any less of him for it, believing he did the right thing regardless, and tells Hawks not to die on him with tears pouring out his eyes.

Fanon
Their friendship is popular since they have a great amount of interactions and a interesting dynamic, since while Fumikage is reserved, serious, and focused, Hawks has more of a carefree and jovial attitude.
