>>3126Those were peak anti- years and antis hated "problematic" ships like bkdk so they glommed on hard to krbk in the anime (and pushed tddk) despite it really not having that much foundation in the manga (antis do not read). "Bakusquad" and "Dekusquad" (also popular during those years) are entirely inventions of anime-onlys.

>>3126My coworker who loves this show and talks my ear off about it ships Eijirou with the earbud girl and seems weirdly antagonistic to the idea of shipping him with any man lol.
Never made it very far in the series but I always personally liked him with Denki but there is a clear canon basis for shipping him with Bakugou especially if you're shipping Deku with someone else.

No.3131
>>3129bakudeku is a phenomenon that has never been seen before, it is the popular slash ship but unlike something like sasunaru(where there are so many debates about whose the top) there is basically no question with bakugo and deku, even people who want to see bakugo bottom, just ship him kirishima because deku is just impossible to see as a top

No.3133
>>3131DekuBaku is the hotter, more sinful and compelling ship to me. There's this upper-hand that Deku has because he's the one who was hurt, who's forgiving Bakugo and Bakugo kinda has to work to make up for it but at the same time I intensely dislike the forever grovelling apology tours/redemption arcs many creators put him on.
But I love BakuDeku too. I like worshipful but not too debasing and grovelly - if that makes any sense.
I got onboard very late so multishipping just means I have so much material to collect/read/hoard. Fond of stuff like JeanBaku, AiBaku etc.
>>3128She doesn't ship Eiji with Mina? I love Jirou with Momo or Denki.
I've still not been able to get into KrBk apart from them being bros and maybe gymbros/fuckbuddies. I love TodoBakuTodo to bits but TodoDeku feels like best friend tier too, unless it's some BDSM fic. But since
>>3127 mentioned they're the two ships antis latched onto, the already minimal appeal makes it even more sour for me. ShinDeku, MonoDeku and even IidaDeku has shades of character bashing and finding the writers who focus on them and not bakugo etc takes some work.
KiriKami looks so cute, I need to read more of it. I'm on a KiriMono kick now.
No.3137
>>3128>>3126I dropped bha ages ago but I remember actually really liking this ship due to how other than deku, Kiribaka was the only one who'd try to actively bond with Bakugo, the way Kiribaka seems to be the most likely character to be an actual homosexual helps as well, something about their dynamic was endearing in a tsundere/autistic kinda sense
Also smh at your coworker who ships him with the earplugs girl, Kiribaka is made for cock

>>3315I saw someone saying the new chapter confirmed that
Touya only lived for a month after being fried chicken. I was really out here coping that he miraculously lived somehow. But now it’s apparently confirmed. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. I mean I knew as a dabisho shipper that it wouldn’t ever happen. Still hurts. Also literally every one of my ships was defeated in the span of this chapter.
Dabisho? Dead. Kirikami? Kamijiro. BkDk? Izuocha. Like damn, Horikoshi didn’t have to do me like that. On the bright side, at least I’m not a
Togachako shipper. That panel of toga in the middle of the handshake scene on top of the previously mentioned ships would’ve annihilated me. No.3320
>>3319I get why people are malding but once I heard "new chapter in the last volume" I prepared to accept exactly this. Fujos are used to turning to fanfic for copium, this is our lifecycle. Also, while I understand that
their "trauma" put a pin in their personal lives, it's so funny that the train got rolling again right after Deku was no longer just a wagie, very cool message Hori.>>3315>Hori's art is incredible without the time pressureHis art is what kept me reading for much longer than I should have.

No.3321
>>3320>Fujos are used to turning to fanfic for copiumYeah, it's kinda incredible to see the jump in fanfics from before and after the leaks. Almost 30,000 fics were created since the news and more are being pushed out as more people learn about the last chapter. BKDK alone got 4k+ more fics.

No.3325
Damn. I'm reading more into the leaks and jesus, Horikoshi. Was it necessary to hammer it in that Bakugou got the worst ending possible. Okay maybe I'm exaggerating, but he did not have to show Izuku rejecting Bakugou's offer to start a hero agency together. And then Kirishima saying "Damn sounds like you just got rejected" to really rub salt into the wound. And of course Bakugou's being a little quiet after that. Could've left it ambiguous. BTW this scene is in the car panels apparently. At least the whole "Bakugou got married" thing was fake from what I've read/seen. But maybe it would have been a kinder fate than being this total sad ending.
Well the good thing is the fanfics being made in response are absolutely gold. I've always loved pining/sad/depressed Bakugou fics and they are coming out of the woodworks today. Total Fanfic Win. Now that I'm thinking about it, one of my favorite bkdk fanfics lowkey predicted this sort of ending.
No.3326
>>3325This. I don’t
really care that much about hating IzuOcha or it becoming canon. I think they’re cute even. I just hated the way Horihack went and made an actual comment like “sounds like you got rejected” to Bakugo explicitly in canon and him making that kind of devastated, unrequited lover “conceal don’t feel” face. Share the fic with the class if you like Nona, I do love
Bk’s crying face and suffering and sometimes, him moving on to other people or having blackout mindcontrol sex with Shinsou (I mean, I love normal ShinBaku too, this fandom has been a smorgasbord of ships and fan creations). I’m actually catching up on canon like, S5 & S6 and the
blackwhip and multi-quirk thing has been one of many insane plot twists that make no sense has made it kinda boring and a slog to get through.
I hear people say Hori’s an excellent artist but a terrible writer and I can see that now. First few seasons were so much fun. Hope
this eventually settles or at least we get fantastic art and not people taking their frustrations out on BkDk shippers or hating Bk or Iz. No.3330
>>3325I haven't kept up with bnha in years but Bakugou
ending up a rejected loser obsessed/pining over Deku is making me like him again, maybe because I'm drawn to unrequited love that much kek
I never truly expected them to be together, but this really feels like a "you reap what you sow" for him.
No.3331
>>3326I don't really mind the
izuocha thing. It was kinda inevitable for a shounen to end like this. I do get why people are sad about it. And if izuocha was the only thing in that chapter that really happened, I don't think there'd be nearly as much reactions. A lot of fans were not expecting the Bakugou loser ending.The fic is called "Of What ifs and Time Machines" by Maru_Chan on ao3.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/13620432?view_full_work=true It's a time travel fic where Bakugou goes back in time and woos Izuku before he gets with Ochako. I like it cause it's one of the few fanfics I've found where a character is actively trying to woo the other character.
Obviously it's not a 1-for-1 of MHAs ending, and it's much more optimistic than the real ending, but it got the izuocha coupling and bkdk never becoming a hero duo down. I've seen some newer fics as of the leak where
Bakugou just straight up suicides from the years of pining over Izuku. Depressing, but I love it. I'm honestly hoping this chapter spawns more time travel fics and maybe even some Villain Bakugou AUs. I need a few happy endings to balance all the bittersweet stuff being written.>this fandom has been a smorgasbord of shipsHonestly the biggest blessing to come out of this fandom. Even rarepairs get content. Although I do struggle to find good fics for ships that are often regulated to being the beta couple
(KiriKami/KamiKiri).I've dropped MHA so many times over the years. The first time was like way back when chapter 19's fantranslation dropped. Like, my brain keeps telling me that the writing is kinda bad/this is kinda boring, but each time I pick it up, I get farther than the last time. One day, I'll finish it.
I assume this
>>3327 is also you? Yeah I multiship too. You get more fancontent as a multishipper. And while there are some MHA characters I have trouble mutlishipping, it's usually because I just struggled finding another pairing that appealed to me with that specific character.
>>3330Yeah I'm seeing the upsides to this ending. Like we are going to get angsty fics for months, maybe even years. Tons of whump too. Already seeing the Hurt/No Comfort fics coming out.

No.3334
>>3325I'm not a BNHAfag but damn, the initial fanboy meltdown over the original ending was so entertaining. This new chapter feels like some kind of reaction to that butthurt. Did Japanese fanboys get as mad as western ones? Were there tons of complaints? Fujos can't have nice things apparently. Glad to see people are at least running with it and making some good fics.
No.3335
>>3334Same. I never watched BNHA save for the first episode but it kinda hurt seeing it. I was happy about the otaku meltdown too. Though tbh I believe that the pair up was planned regardless of the complaints. It's kinda cursed. It's hard to be happy when you are a fujo that happens to be into shounen or seinen and isn't a fan of slice of life BL.
I hope that all fujos who are into the gay ship stay strong and make their alternative ending fics. Or just headcanon that the encounter with the girl is just a reaction to a really good friend and not necessarily sexual. There are lots of options.
My favorite ship from is in a crisis as well right now and I pray that it won't scare the fujos away. It's always sad seeing dedicated, passionate fans giving up so remember: it's fiction! It means that your favs are sadly not real, but it also means that nothing is so you might as well do whatever you want and enjoy it.

I resonate with this meta from an IzuOcha shipper of all things. Once the dust settles I hope people, especially BkDks, can see how this rejection was the kindest and most mature thing Izuku can do for Bakugou (long tweet threads that I didn't wanna unroll).

No.3350
Don’t know if it’s a new cope or not. Potentially just a mistranslation. But I’ve seen people saying that chapter 431 is a sorta doujin. Which would explain some of the inconsistencies because apparently Horikoshi wasn’t all there for that chapter or something. The final writing does look like it says 429 and 430 were the end and that 431 is like the post-game dlc though. So probably cope, but until a real translation comes out, idk.
No.3351
>>3350Samefag, but it was a mistranslation it seems. It’s official, but it’s an epilogue. I’ve seen some people liken it to Harry Potter and The Cursed Child. Either way, seems like Japanese bkdk shippers are okay at least.
No.3369
>>3368Okay. From what I’ve gathered, it’s definitely real. But Horikoshi made it with his team instead of just Horikoshi himself. As far as I can tell, Japanese fans have interpreted the writing in chapter 431 as
Bakugo having feelings for Izuku. And in the west, bkdk shippers and even some non-bkdk shippers are treating it like the movies. Some hopeful news for fans of Bakugo is that he won the recent popularity poll and is getting a bronze statue. So even if he’s
15 in the manga, he’s number 1 in the real world.
