Recently, I caught up to Boku no Hero Academia. I know nothing of the BNHA fandom, but I will say this: I’m disappointed by the fact that the relationship between Katsuki and Izuku isn’t generally considered to be the most profound. When I say profound, there are no positive connotations. Izuku and Katsuki are, as of now, not friends. When I say profound, I simply mean that I have a heck-ton of content to discuss. So yeah, this relationship is definitely the most complex in the series, albeit a flawed one.
Fortunately, this relationship is undergoing a transformation. By the end of the manga, it will have evolved into something that is complex, mutually supportive, and beautiful. In this post, I aim to examine and accentuate its intricacies. If you aren’t exactly a fan of Izuku and Katsuki’s relationship, I hope this post brings you to appreciate it as much as I do. (Please ignore any typos, by the way. I didn’t look over what I wrote.)

The fact that Izuku still kept his hand outstretched after all this time is the epitome of what “true love waits” really means
I DON’T KNOW I AM SORRY I WAS IN ANGST MOOD APOLOGIZE
Agree
No one:
Absolutely nobody:
Me: Bakudeku has completely ruined me. Thank you
don’t you love it when bkdk gets fucken… framed in angelic light whenever they have a charged moment?? it really is like they’re in their own little world 😭😭
Katsuki, awkwardly to Izuku: Would you like to stay for dinner?
Kaminari and Kirishima, gleefully from the other room: Would you like to stay forever!?
Okay but the way that Bakugou and Midoriya are like "i have these feelings about the other...its really weird...i dont understand them. I know i dont hate him, but the thought of calling him 'friend' is just...wrong...but we're so in sync...well guess its just be awkward between us!"
Like bro, youre in love

I absolutely loved everything about their analysis on Katsuki and Izuku’s relationship with one another
It gives it not only a lot of depth, but also connects dots some of us hadn’t seen beforehand
Losing Izuku would absolutely wreck Katsuki you can’t change my mind
Head empty only Deku
Katsuki’s quirk growing more powerful because he needs to save Izuku? Ouchie
It doesn’t have to be romantic- it’s the fact that Katsuki cares about him that counts.
💥🥦- Bakugou has always held resentment towards Midoriya; the greenette’s nickname is proof of that fact. No one knew when these feelings began hell, even Bakugou himself couldn’t pinpoint the direct moment he started to hate Midoriya.
💥🥦- Bakugou still can’t believe Midoriya gave their relationship a chance. He still remembers the horrible things he did (and said) to Midoriya (the worst being when he told the boy to kill himself) yet, Izuku still managed to forgive him. The explosive man knew he must do everything in his power to show the forever emotional man that he made the right decision.
💥🥦- It starts off small, telling Midoriya that he isn’t as shitty as before (he still had his brash language; there’s no changing the way he is). He still yells at Midoriya but, it doesn’t hold the same malice as it did before. Everyone notices the shift but, they don’t question it. It’s about time Katsuki learned to express his feelings.
💥🥦- Communication is the key between them. Bakugou had to learn that not everyone views him as inferior and that explosive violence solves nothing. Therapy in the form of music allows him to keep calm while also giving him an outlet to show how he feels. All-in-all, Bakugou Katsuki has learned to be a soft boy for Midoriya and a mean bastard to everyone else.
💥🥦- Sometimes, he does slip up and get a little too loud but, that’s to be expected. No person is perfect. All that matters is that he always apologizes for his words once he has tome to evaluate himself. Our boom boom man has graduated anger management!
💥🥦- Bakugou isn’t the only person who had to change. Midoriya also had to learn to grow a spine. He’s still a crybaby that loves to help people but know that he can be assertive. He knows when to stick up for himself.
💥🥦- “You shouldn’t let him talk to you like that,” that was a stick that broke the camel’s back. Midoriya was tired of Bakugou’s outbursts, never once apologizing for the role he played in damaging his mental health. Therapy was crucial for him as well. He had to learn to love himself and that it’s not a crime to defend himself.
💥🥦- While he still cries at everything, he’s learned to accept that part of himself as well. He’s emotional; that’s part of his charm. He likes the name Deku. Even if it was meant to damage him, he finds great satisfaction in turning that negative into a name that strikes hope and happiness into the hearts of so many people.
💥🥦- “Good job, Deku,” Midoirya loves to be praised, especially by Bakugou. It makes his smile. His smiles are so full of life and love and sheer happiness. Him smiling makes everyone smile. “Aye, Deku, stop that creepy ass smiling,” that makes him smile even more. Bakugou’s words mean nothing when he’s hiding his flushed cheeks.
💥🥦- “Kacchan! You’re blushing,” Midoriya giggles. “Do you like my smile?”
💥🥦- “Don’t ask me stupid ass questions,” that translates to ‘your smile makes me happy to be alive.’ It’s a good thing most people around him speak ‘Bakugou-nese.’
💥🥦- The two of them are so adorable in public. Midoriya loves to wrap his arms around Bakugou’s waist and nuzzle his head into his chest. While Bakugou normally hates when people touch him, he melts in his boyfriend’s arms.
💥🥦- They’re often goofy together. Bakugou may yell but, he’s a big lover of laughter. And Midoriya just happens to be a source of humor. Look at his face! You’re telling me if that face told a joke, you wouldn’t laugh?!
💥🥦- “Hey, Kacchan, what do you call a pig with no legs?” Bakugou facepalms as he tries not to laugh.
💥🥦- “Babe, you know I love you but-“
💥🥦- “Kacchannnn just guess,” Bakugou twists his tongue in his mouth as he still tries not to snort.
💥🥦- “Ground Pork?” Midoriya pouts.
💥🥦- “I wanted to say it,” Bakugou can’t help but laugh and hold his stomach as tears run down his face. We all know he doesn’t find the joke funny; he finds the adorable pout on his baby boy’s face funny.
💥🥦- “I’m sorry, baby boy. Tell to me again,” he quiets himself.
💥🥦- “Okay, so what do you call-“
💥🥦- “GROUND FUCKING PORK,” he’s such a tool sometimes.
💥🥦- “YOU’RE SUCH AN ASS KATSUKI,” that doesn’t stop him from laughing. He wipes his eye and shoots a crooked grin to Midoriya.
💥🥦- “I like your ass.”

KATSUDEKU
Prepare for incoming feels.
Bakugo thinks Deku could have beaten Shigaraki
Enter Kota, Deku and Kacchan’s unofficial kid. Kacchan’s attitude and Deku’s hair/shoes.
They chose to sit together, ya’ll.
Thinking the same thoughts again. Shoto joins in this time.
And thus begins the Deku must save Kacchan arc. Deku later on calls back to his fight with Muscular during their second fight in his “Image of Victory” monologue.
In the anime, the first one he thinks of is Kacchan.
He’s so worried he doesn’t even say Bakugo’s name right. He’s just “kacchan” to him.
“Your CHILDHOOD FRIEND.” Everyone can see it, Deku.
I like how worried Kacchan looks in the anime version of this scene. Once again Deku is half dead.
You’re wrong, Compress. He does belong to Deku. He’s his bf after all.
Deku is the most insanely protective bf ever. Nobody in their right mind should EVER eff with his man.
Anime confirms that Kacchan is saying this to protect Deku. He’s terrified and he throws away his only chance to escape to stop Deku from dying.
DON’T ANYONE EVER EFF WITH KACCHAN BECAUSE I CANNOT HANDLE EVER SEEING DEKU THIS WAY AGAIN. DON’T DO IT. GODDAMN DOES DEKU LOVE THAT GUY.
IIDARAKA
Both ships sit together at mess
TODOMOMO
Momo’s teamwork helped Shoto become friendlier. She also tells them not to rely on him.
KIRIMINA
Poor, poor remedial course babies.
They’re together throughout this whole arc and they’re so cute.
