Hey I Have Might Have Made A Thing.

An Analysis of the Nature of Izuku and Katsuki’s Relationship

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.)

20 DAYS OF BAKUDEKU ON TWTTER

Day 4: What is your favorite AU? Honestly is not even a surprise 💚🧡🍃 Fantasy AU (ABO TOO BECAUSE I’M GOOD TRASH) is literally the best thing that happened to My Hero, everyone say thank you Horikoshi Sensei 🙏

Interesting that Inko and Katsuki both got similar “All Might Approves” moments.  

(and they’re the two characters who’ve been the most apprehensive about Deku becoming a hero because they’re both intimately aware of his self-sacrificing/self-destructive tendencies and it really, really stresses them out.)  

This scene was made for them

“It’s soft.”

OH MY GOD @atomicblonde I CAN’T BELIEVE WE GOT A CRYBABY AND A QUIET RAPTURE UPDATE IN THE SAME DAY?  WHAT DID WE DO TO DESERVE THIS????  I’m sorry I couldn’t do something more, but I read Quiet Rapture like, an hour ago?  I love it so much!!!!  Please accept my humble offering!!!!

WHY DEKU IS A GRYFFINDOR AND BAKUGOU A SLYTHERIN

OK Imma go into EXCRUCIATING DETAIL about why I totally believe Kacchan is a Slytherin and Deku a Gryffindor 😊 And check out my Hogwarts Au for the story and headcanons! 

VERY LONG POST AHEAD SO PLEASE READ CAREFULLY and take your time :3

First Bakugou…

Before anything I NEED to point out that Katsuki DOES have Gryffindor traits, but he has MORE Slytherin traits. I do believe people do have traits for all the houses but the traits that stand out the most are the ones that determine which house you go in. I dug A LOT of Slytherin and Gryffindor meta to make this analysis so yeahh 😊

ALSO ALSO I want to say that I DON’T PUT BAKUGOU IN SLYTHERIN CAUSE HE HAS THE BAD GUY VIBES AT FIRST OR USE TO BE A BULLY. NO. I actually hate that stereotype and I want to break it. I DIDN’T put him in Slytherin for that. It’s because he does have almost all the traits that ACTUALLY define Slytherin. Slytherins are NOT bullies, are NOT evil, are NOT always the bad guys and are so misunderstood most of the time. So no… I think Katsuki is a Slytherin for a LOT of different things that are NOT negative. Slytherins are characterized for being cunning and ambitious and those are not inherently bad things. You just need a little push sometimes.

ALSO ALSO ALSO, I need people to understand that Slytherins are actually very highly regarded as excellent students and people who accomplish things. Forget HP and what most people’s perceptions of what Slytherins are. Their traits are NOT inherently bad and just like Bakugou… The drive to succeed can be good when pointed in the right direction.

OK Now Izuku…. This one’s even longer

I think People perception of Izuku is just SO WRONG most of the time, specially from people who hate him and say he’s bland and has no development. To those people I say screw you cause after MUCH further analysis you understand that he’s actually just SO DEEP and multilayered that you don’t have to rely on your typical character development to understand how his mind works and how he works in the setting of MHA and how deeply flawed and has so much to learn and he’s actually such a great character.

Ok so as I said before, having traits from other houses is normal and you can have more than one inclination… that being said… This one is a bit complicated… most people think that because Deku is a soft bumble of goodness and joy he’s instantly Hufflepuff… of because he’s analytical and strategic he’s an instant Ravenclaw… But I disagree… after A LOT of research I understood a LOT of things about Gryffindor. As a Gryffindor myself I understand that, it’s a complicated house… Not because you’re “brave” of want to “do the right thing” it means you’re Gryffindor… ANOTHER stereotype I want to break. But I do think it goes deeper than that.

Now I DON’T MIND putting Deku in Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw, I have mad respect for those houses. He DOES have a lot of them traits specially Hufflepuff, but LITERALLY the first episode we see how his most prominent traits (just like Hermione or Ron) are his daring, justice-seeking hero-like personality that actually puts jumping into action even if you’re scared, even if you’re chances are slim, above all his traits. His analytical and soft side are actually BELOW this one HUGE and most important trait he has: the daring desire to do SOMETHING no matter what. This is inherently a Gryffindor trait. Izuku cannot stand still and do nothing, it will legit drive him crazy. It’s what he values the most that matters. Even with his wit and analytic skills, his raw desire to act is very much his core trait and that’s Gryffindor right there.

KEEP READING TO SEE THE ANALYSIS OF EVERY TRAIT PLEASE
