I love Kirishima. A lot. And I love your blog because it mainly focus on him. I love how he brightens the show and how great his character is. But the thing is I saw some of your posts shipping him with bakugo. I don't ship him with bakugo though. I like their friendship and all. I think it's the most beautiful progress I have seen in BNHA. Their dynamic pair is good. May I know why you ship them? And please don't hate me.

Reasons to Ship Bakushima

Since you already like their friendship and think they make a good dynamic pair, you probably have a good idea of why people like their relationship. There are a countless number of reasons to ship them and their relationship has so much going for them, so I feel like whatever answer I give won’t be enough. I’ll try my best to answer this. Maybe it’s best if I list some of the main reasons why I ship them. 

1. Kirishima is important to Bakugou’s character development. 

Early on, he encourages Bakugou to have friends and allies by being a friend and ally to Bakugou himself.

Kirishima does such a good job making himself a friend and equal to Bakugou that he becomes the only classmate Bakugou can accept being rescued by without hurting Bakugou’s pride. This is a huge step for Bakugou’s character development because it shows Bakugou can learn how to accept help from someone without his ego being bruised. 

The character development Kirishima gives Bakugou helps Bakugou become a better hero by encouraging Bakugou to be a nicer individual and to work with other people. 

2. Bakugou CARES about Kirishima. 

Usually Bakugou doesn’t give a crap if someone is sad. However, Bakugou has been shown multiple times trying to cheer Kirishima up when Kirishima is sad, which is something he hasn’t done for other classmates. Bakugou cares about someone besides himself, and the classmate Bakugou cares about the most is Kirishima. 

Bakugou doesn’t care about people like a hero should. As Bakugou learns to care about Kirishima, he can become capable of caring about other people, further showing how Kirishima helps Bakugou become a better hero.

3. Despite Kirishima admiring Bakugou and wanting to be his friend, Kirishima doesn’t let Bakugou walk all over him. 

He’ll tease Bakugou like any friend would, even if Bakugou doesn’t like it. 

And he doesn’t let Bakugou get away with shit. He understands Bakugou needs to improve his behavior and will call Bakugou out on his bad behavior. 

Kirishima won’t let Bakugou get away with not calling him by his name either. Kirishima not only wants Bakugou to be his friend, he also wants Bakugou to treat him with respect. Kirishima doesn’t want to be Bakugou’s minion. He wants to be his equal. 

4. This point goes without saying, but similar to how Bakugou cares about Kirishima, Kirishima REALLY cares about Bakugou. 

Kirishima is one of the people who is most worried for Bakugou when Class 1-A hears the villains are after Bakugou.

And despite the dangers for him and his classmates, Kirishima is willing to break the rules to rescue Bakugou because he is one of the students hurt most by Bakugou’s capture. 

Kirishima checks to see if Bakugou passed the hero license exam and is worried about Bakugou when he sees Bakugou doesn’t pass.

5. Bakugou respects Kirishima. 

Bakugou sees Kirishima as a useful ally because their Quirks work well together and is willing to accept Kirishima into his cavalry battle team as a result. Then during that cavalry battle, he listens to Kirishima when Kirishima tells Bakugou to calm down, and Bakugou even refers to Kirishima by his name, something Bakugou rarely does and only does with people he respects. 

Kirishima puts up a good fight against Bakugou during the Sports Festival, showing Bakugou that he’s more than just his hardening Quirk, making Bakugou respect him even more. 

Not only does Bakugou respect Kirishima enough to be rescued by him without hurting his pride, but Bakugou remembers words Kirishima told him months later. Kirishima told Bakugou he’d be unshakable during the cavalry battle, and then Bakugou recalls those exact words months later. Bakugou doesn’t remember things unless they’re important. The things Kirishima says have a huge impact on Bakugou.

Furthermore, Bakugou thinks Kirishima is so strong that he states Kirishima can be unbreakable like All Might. Considering how highly Bakugou thinks of All Might, that’s a huge compliment and shows how much Bakugou respects Kirishima’s abilities. 

6. Bakugou is good for Kirishima’s character growth. 

Kirishima looks up to Bakugou for his unwavering determination and strength and tries to be a strong hero more like Bakugou. When Kirishima expresses how little he thinks of his Quirk and abilities, Bakugou gives Kirishima advice and helps Kirishima create his new super move, Red Riot Unbreakable. 

As demonstrated by Red Riot Unbreakable, Bakugou helps give Kirishima conviction and a more unbreakable spirit, making Kirishima more of an unyielding wall, which will improve Kirishima’s hero career. Kirishima wouldn’t be the mighty brute force he is now without Bakugou. In addition, the things Bakugou says improve Kirishima’s confidence. For instance, Red Riot Unbreakable raised Kirishima’s confidence and makes him feel stronger, which is important for Kirishima’s self-esteem. Keep in mind, Bakugou usually says things to hurt and lower other people’s confidence, so it’s very remarkable that the things he says helps Kirishima’s confidence instead. 

Although, it’s difficult for Bakugou’s threats and insults to faze Kirishima anyway. 

Considering Kirishima’s low self-esteem, Bakugou is an important person who’ll help raise Kirishima’s confidence. In addition, both Bakugou and Kirishima suffer from painful inferiority complexes, with Bakugou’s inferiority complex manifesting into a superiority complex. They can both relate to their issues and help each other. 

Overall, Bakugou and Kirishima’s relationship gets lots of development throughout the series. They mean a lot to each other and help their characters grow. They’re arguably best friends. They’re so close that Iida automatically turns to Kirishima when asking about Bakugou’s whereabouts. 

I don’t expect this answer to convert you into a Bakushima shipper anon. It’s cool if you don’t ship it. This is a very loaded ask because there’s so much I can say about this. I don’t think this answer does this ship or their relationship justice because I can go on and on about why Bakugou and Kirishima are great for each other and why their relationship is important. If I didn’t list some reasons why I like them, then my answer would get disorganized and incoherent. By the way, thanks for asking this specific question. I’ve never really stated why I like Bakugou and Kirishima’s relationship, and it’s nice to finally get my thoughts out there. Although, I could still say more on the topic.

Chiyo will always be Kokomi's first and best friend, I love them.

soooooo normal about the fact that kokomi acts in a way that is not exactly perfect pretty girl-like, that she is interested in making friends with other girls at chiyo's influence - that she resembles chiyo in ways that are so obvious that they deserve a place in the narrative

I personally hate it whenever someone says: "wow you like a ship that is NOT CANNON or DOSEN'T MAKE SENSE". Like oh what a tragedy, that 8 yo mike wanted certain characters to be together despite one being in a cannon relationship, and because he wanted them to become true he drew a drawing of them kissing. Oh the horrors as 43 yo Brenda thought it would be funny if 2 characters that have never met so she wrote a story about them and posted it online. Oh how horrible that 15 yo Cassey wanted to see if other people liked a ship like she does and makes metas on how they should've been real.

This also applies to toxic ships alike

THIS DOSEN'T APPLY TO PROSHIPS LIKE: PEDOPHILIA, ABUSE, INCEST ETC

Seriously though, Saiki in The Disastrous Life of Kokomi Teruhashi is at his most ridiculous ever.

Teruhashi wanted to go and drink a shake with him. So Saiki being Saiki, he makes sure she won't get to ask him out.

Except he just... turns invisible and goes with her anyway?

He doesn't have a shake of his own because of his clownery, so he just... goes and drinks from Teruhashi's straw?

Like if Teruhashi would've gotten to invite him, she would have bought Saiki his own shake. But no, here goes Saiki making things worse for himself and giving Teruhashi more than she would've even bargained for.

Then, when Teruhashi stands-up, he follows her and stands so close to her for absolutely no reason whatsoever, that Teruhashi almost accidentally touches him?

Plus, what's up with his thoughts?

Does he even realize how ridiculous he sounds here? He's the one who's getting involved with her right now. He could've just saved himself the trouble, bought himself a shake and drank it at home. Teruhashi didn't even get to invite him, he invited himself.

THEN, to top all this off, he looks all smug when Teruhashi notices she's missing some of her shake??

Sir?? What do you even have to be smug about? She just wanted to drink a shake with you and you not only did that, you also gave her an Indirect Kiss™?

He is such a tsundere that he willingly just went on a date with Teruhashi, yet he still acts like it's a win for him because Teruhashi didn't realize he was there. LMAO. 😂

The Purpose of Kirishima’s Hero Costume

To people who are making fun of Kirishima for being topless, please know that Kirishima has to keep as much skin exposed as possible for practical reasons.

For one thing, his skin can sharpen and expand, ripping any clothing it comes in contact with. You can see that here down below when his sleeves (and pants) get ripped up due to his hardening.

Keep in mind also, this hardened skin is an effective weapon and armor. It can injure enemies it comes in contact with. However, his hardening becomes less effective as a weapon when it’s covered. Kirishima wears sleeves so that he doesn’t injure civilians with his hardening when he carries them. By contrast, if he wants his hardening to be an effective weapon and armor, he needs to have his hardened skin exposed.

The manga makes it clear that any clothes Kirishima wears will get shredded!

Now, some fans may wonder why his pants don’t get ripped up. Well…

1. His pants sometimes does get ripped up. Kirishima expects it to, which is why the fabric of his pants is more beat up.

2. He doesn’t harden and sharpen his lower body as much as his upper body.

3. His pants are loose-fitting, baggy, and made out of more durable material to prevent ripping. Unfortunately, this also means his legs won’t make a good sharpened weapon.

Look at this image in chapter 90. Kirishima has to roll up his sleeves to use the hardening on his arms, and his sleeves still get ripped.

Kirishima doesn’t walk around topless because he enjoys it. He’s not some sort of exhibitionist. He does it so that he can use his Quirk without anything holding him back. It’s common knowledge that Momo needs to have her skin exposed to use her Quirk, and this same rule applies to Kirishima as well, if not moreso. His classmates don’t bat an eye at Kirishima walking around topless because they understand he has to for practical reasons.

For the winter, Kirishima needs to somehow get a costume that won’t rip, won’t make his hardening less effective, and still keep him warm.
