5 My Hero Academia Ships That Belong Together (And 5 That Are Rejected By Fans)

Which romantic pairings are fans of this anime behind, and which are unwanted?

Belong together: Izuocha

The friends-to-lovers pairing of Izuku Midoriya and Ochaco Uraraka has been hinted at from the start, when Izuku met Ochaco at the entrance exam. They are good friends and Ochaco clearly has a crush on him, which Aoyama and Mina teased her about. They're a really cute couple and help each other grow as heroes, friends and lovers.

Rejected: Bakudeku

The enemies-to-lovers pairing of Katsuki Bakugo and Izuku Midoriya, to be honest, will never happen. They're enemies, plain and simple. Bakugo wants to become better than Midoriya and envies him because he is Allmight's successor.

Belong together: Kiribaku

Eijiro Kirishima and Katsuki Bakugo are a ship many fans support. Kirishima is basically Bakugo's only friend, and Kirishima seems to actually tolerate Bakugo's anger. Bakugo trusts Kirishima and acknowledges him as his equal, something he does not do with anyone else.

Rejected: Kirimina

Mina Ashido and Eijiro Kirishima are kind of a cute couple, but they don't have all that many scenes together and their relationship isn't very romantic. They don't really have the interactions and buildup to become canon, either.

Belong together: Momojiro

Momo and Jiro have been best friends since the start of the series. They chose to shop together, are shown to be defensive of one another and clearly hit it off well. Jiro's spunky personality would be a good match for Momo's rich upbringing and book-smart nature.

Rejected: Todomomo

Yaoyorozu and Todoroki are kind of awkward around one another, don't have many scenes together and are just not that amazing in general. They work better as classmates or maybe even as friends, but they're not friends with the same people and don't really have similar personalities. I would defend this ship by saying that Todoroki kind of helped Momo regain her confidence when they fought Aizawa, but it was Midoriya who encouraged Todoroki to use his fire and not Momo. She doesn't really acknowledge him and he doesn't really acknowledge her.

Belong together: Tododeku

They're the biggest cinnamon rolls of all time and pair off well. They're not going to be canon because of Izuocha, but they're a great pairing anyways. Todoroki and Midoriya are friends, and as previously mentioned, Midoriya urged Todoroki to use his fire power. Todoroki went with Midoriya, Yaoyorozu, Iida and Kirishima to save Bakugo when he was kidnapped and he and Midoriya helped Iida defeat Stain. They'd be a great power couple and work nicely together.

Rejected: M*neta and anyone.

M*noru M*neta is a horrible and perverted character who sees women as objects he can mess around with, without their consent. Everybody in the show has said he needs to learn. His behavior around Momo when he attached his grapes to her back was stupid and unacceptable, and the time when he looked through a hole in the wall into the girls locker room and commented on each of their bodies was a terrible thing to do. Basically the entire fandom hates him and he doesn't deserve a love interest (nor will he get one).

Belong together: Erasermic

Eraserhead (AKA Shota Aizawa) and Present Mic (AKA Hizashi Yamada) is the wholesome ship we all need. This duo is one of the several involving a blond-haired extrovert and dark-haired introvert (others being Kyoka Jiro and Denki Kaminari and Mirio Togata and Tamaki Amajiki). Present Mic helps Eraserhead come out of his shell, while Eraserhead is very no-nonsense and is Present Mic's polar opposite. They're really cute together, super wholesome and are great friends.

Rejected: Kacchaco

Bakugo and Uraraka have no scenes together, barely acknowledge each other's existence and are friends with other people. They're totally different, and not in a compatible way. Uraraka clearly likes Midoriya anyway, and Kacchan basically hates Deku's entire friend group, which includes her. Ochaco would never like someone who always tries to be better than everyone, and her cute, happy personality would never match with his aggressive nature.
