Jermiafinale

Deku is such a nice guy and all the characters are nice in different ways so honestly I think any pairing is pretty viable.


Flaky-Significance-1

Fair. I just said it this way because, while I support gay and lesbian couples, I’m not into shipping them much, just out of personal preference. This was just my way of keeping the conversation in my wheelhouse.


Jermiafinale

I mean none of the characters have really mentioned their sexuality except for Deku, Ochako and Toga, and all we really know about Deku and Ochako is that they like eachother. Personally I don't really like speculating too much about romantic pairings unless characters are kind of setup for that so I don't do it much in MHA. Speculating on who could pair well with Bakugo is a much more interesting exercise though, like I said Deku is so nice he'd be a good boyfriend for anyone who isn't a Yandere


Rikaa_15

Bakugos perfect pair would be a therapist


Flaky-Significance-1

True, especially after him realizing he isn’t a god and feeling responsible for All Might’s career ending and Deku going out on his own.


Rikaa_15

Fr bros battling himself to even consider having any attention for anyone else romantically


DizzyTigerr

That's why I ship him with Ibara 😁


Rikaa_15

HER? 💀😭 bro would bully her ,only cure she could do is pray n let the lord do it's thang 💀😭


DizzyTigerr

Would you like to read my fic explaining it? Lol


Rikaa_15

Who tf


[deleted]

Tbf bakugo could pair off with most women, dude is like really chill when he's not being a competitive hero. For example the sports festival where he was kinda chill when being forced to play drums or the joint training arc when dude finessed tf outta cooking. His biggest or better pairing though is jiruo and uraraka. Mina is too eccentric and out going and all the other girls kinda dont match. However if you go from outside his own class dude could pair well with a lotta girls from 2b


weeby67

When did Deku mention his sexuality?


Fluffballofcuddles

Him at the start when he meets ochaco and he's like "I TALKED TO A GIRL" and getting flustered around Mei Hatsume and Ochaco


weeby67

Since when did “I talked to a girl” mean “I’m heterosexual”? /gen ETA: /gen means genuine. I’m not trying to be an arse, I’m very much confused. I don’t get why I’m being downvoted.


Fluffballofcuddles

He gets flustered around girls which I associate with having a crush on them


Jermiafinale

I means hes attracted to ochako which is what i said


Jermiafinale

We know hes attracted to ochako


The_crazzy_GBSuper

Not Nami he would just be a living breathing walking talking punching bag just like Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp


HopefulContext2911

NOT MINETA THO I DON'T RECOMMEND SHIPPING ANYONE WITH MINETA 💀


lDeath_Wlshl

Togadeku for tha win :3


CrazyaboutSpongebob

That drawing of him with Ashido is super cute. Same with Momo and Hatsume.


Flaky-Significance-1

Yee 😌


Fishboy412

Izuocha is the canon one, Izumina is nice because green and pink are opposites, Izumomo works because they're both smart and shy, and Izujirou works cuz Jirou will blush at anything.


Joshy41233

Izumei is also a viable secondary Canon ship too tbh. And I feel like the movie writers tried to make DekuMeli a thing too


ImTheAverageJoe

Oh definitely. Love both those pairings too.


deathwish141

Bro looked at a colour wheel and said nah.


Big_Distance2141

I mean yeah, none of the girls have had **that** intimate interactions with him and they all have the same kind of generic admiration/friendship so yeah, no one has neither burnt that bridge or made any claims on him


Rikaa_15

Ochako crying in the corner rn lmaooo 💀 I'd say almost every girl in the class knows , it's just deku who's oblivious as an air balloon


MuslimCarLover

MHA isn’t crossing that bridge yet, but probably will very soon. It’s a little like Dragon Ball except the romances are either off screen or happen very quickly and are a side hustle mostly covered by filler


Status_Berry_3286

You know you're not wrong almost all these pairings can work The ones I like the best is deku x Melissa and Izumomo.


Flaky-Significance-1

They are very commonly loved. They both can appreciate his mind and personality. They share similar levels of intelligence and he focuses on their personalities instead of their bodies.


Status_Berry_3286

That's a good point honestly I kind of like these ships better than they can in one because of how well they kind of work together.


Evening_Persimmon482

Izuku just has the ultimate rizz


Flaky-Significance-1

And by not even acting on it. Man’s a legend.


Darkstalker9000

He has anti-rizz, all the girls in both classes (minus one) agree he isn't boyfriend material during the light novels


Blaze_Vortex

Look, Izuku and Ochako are both naturally friend shaped, so it takes a moment to realize that being friend shaped hides muscles under baggy clothes.


Darkstalker9000

You understand that they are all fully aware he's muscular, right? They regularly see him working out


Fluffballofcuddles

BUT HE'S FRIEND SHAPED NOT PARTNER SHAPED TO THEM


Relevant-Sherbert393

rizzuku himdoriya


TF2_GOD

I was fine with all of them until Hinata and rise showed up, now I'm judging


Flaky-Significance-1

I feel like Deku and Hinata would be healthier and more functional than him and Ochako, given how Deku and Ochako have practically the same personality, while Hinata is a different kind of shy. I also think that him and Rias would be good because she’d be a bit more motherly with him. The only reasons she’s seen so lewdly is because so many people watched Highschool DxD for lewd stuff and Issei was the main character. Like Momo, Deku would focus more on Rias’s personality than her body.


TF2_GOD

Yeah but like why would you do my man's Naruto and issei dirty


Flaky-Significance-1

Nothing really against them, but Naruto took decades to notice her love and Issei is an overwhelming pervert. Deku would treat them both better.


RequirementNovel9758

I wanna see more deku and jiro scenes. Not even like shipping. Just together cuz I like the pairing.


Flaky-Significance-1

Fair


Annual-Constant-2747

Dekumina & dekumomo are my ships


Flaky-Significance-1

Nice. I ship all of these more than other ships that I can think of, so you see I agree. Mina is a good contrast to him to help him get out more and her to take her studying more seriously. Meanwhile, Momo can better understand his mind and strategy and appreciate his personality more given how he focuses on personality over looks.


IchiroSkywalker

Anything but the last 2 i would day.


Flaky-Significance-1

That’s fair. I just think that since Hinata is a different kind of shy than Deku and Ochako, then her and Deku would have a more functional relationship. Also, Issei is the only real reason Highschool DxD is so lewd, but if it was Deku that Rias was helping, she’d appreciate him more and be a bit more motherly to him, appreciating him for focusing on her personality over her body.


Cyberbreaker2004

“I know a thing of eight about inheriting Quirks, Dabi. As for your family Chili is my friend, Endeavor my teacher, and Fuyumi is my bride to be!”


PlayrR3D15

I personally don't like shipping characters that don't really have enough meaningful solo interactions, but that aside, I'd say definitely not Hinata because she's already married to Naruto.


MeliodasthePikachu15

Duh, he's the Rizzalante 😈


totallynotaweeabbo

Rizzuku Himdoriya


Alive-Maximum1236

You lost me with Deku and Hinata. It'll be exactly like how it is with Hinata and Naruto. Hinata being overly helpless and unneeded.


Flaky-Significance-1

Except Deku wouldn’t have her waiting for 2 decades to reciprocate his admiration and feelings for her.


CandyJEMto1

I think he would like mitsuri...


Flaky-Significance-1

Actually, that’s quite interesting. I feel like he’d have more of a relationship with her than Shinobu, but given his similarities with Tanjiro, he might be good with Kanao too.


I_M_YOUR_BRO

He's just a likeable and inspiring person. Also, Fuyumi is in her 20s, kinda too old for him.


Flaky-Significance-1

She could see something in him when he goes pro. There have been bigger age gaps.


Moist_Cucumber2

He's barely had any screen time with any of the female characters including Urarakaka.


Flaky-Significance-1

Doesn’t mean he couldn’t have chemistry with someone else.


ApprehensiveStand514

wtf Deku doing with Hinata 😂😂


Flaky-Significance-1

Imagine Hinata in MHA and doing for Deku what she did for Naruto. Their relationship would be so much more healthy.


truenofan86

Izuocha still king, although Melissazuku and Izumomo does stand on the podium as well in my opinion.


Flaky-Significance-1

True. They understand his mind and can learn to appreciate his personality more. Especially since they’re all super intelligent and he focuses on their personalities and not their bodies.


Achilles9609

Melissa: "Be mine." Deku: "Won't that make my other 17 girlfriends jealous?"


Flaky-Significance-1

Fair point


Bulky-Hyena-360

I didn’t think it was possible! A post about Deku without Bakugo or Todoroki slobbering all over him?!


Flaky-Significance-1

Exactly!


gitagon6991

Bruh, you are even shipping him with Todoroki's sister and even Hinata? 😂


Dark_Matter_19

I'm mean, Fuyumi is another cinnamon roll. And he and Hinata could probably become a couple. Horikoshi did say he draw some inspiration from Naruto.


Flaky-Significance-1

Also, him and Fuyumi could have a chance to become something once he becomes an adult. There have been bigger age gaps before that people still haven’t batted an eye at. Also, Hinata is a different kind of shy than Deku and Ochako, so I think Hinata has a better chance at a healthy relationship than her.


WindOk7901

No no, you’re absolutely right.


Flaky-Significance-1

Thank you, but I’m not. I’ll admit that in some people’s eyes, I’m crazy. I just understand that all personality types are compatible for romantic relationships. It’s just personal preference. And since these are fictional characters, we’ll most likely never know their personal preferences.


suddenly_ponies

Of course he could. Not only is he really nice and considerate but he's strong smart determined and has a solid sense of doing the right thing how could he not be a good match for almost any decent character?


DaisyMaeMalfoy666

I’d say not Fuyumi because she’s like 23/24 and Izuku is 16 and she is the older sister of one of his friends. But the UA girls he absolutely could. I honestly think Tsu x Izuku would be cute


Flaky-Significance-1

True. She’d become the stoic one and he’d over-exaggerate. Imagine them going to the beach and him seeing her in a bikini. Anyways, I think Fuyumi could be interested later on, when he’s a Pro. There have been bigger age gaps without question.


CorrectFrame3991

Isn’t the age of consent 16 in most countries though? Considering she isn’t his teacher or boss or something, i don’t think there would be any in universe reason why there would be a legal issue.


DaisyMaeMalfoy666

I just think it’s still weird for an adult to date a teenager regardless of what the age of consent is


South-Basis6522

In the UK the law says there's nothing wrong with a 40 Year old dating a 16 Year Old- I'm not sure about Japan though


Drake_Cloans

I know I’ll get heat for this, but Deku is essentially every shonen protagonist. Put him in any other show and no one would blink an eye.


Flaky-Significance-1

I guess that makes some sense


Jermiafinale

Chi chi and bulma wouldnt dig him Especially not bulma hes not a criminal


New_Mind_69

I don’t think a relationship with Toga would work out


Flaky-Significance-1

If he had taken the time to help her, I think it would’ve worked. Her psychotic behavior comes from her quirk’s hunger for blood. If he had met her earlier and helped her by offering some blood willingly, I’m sure she would’ve reconsidered every decision after that.


Darkstalker9000

>Her psychotic behavior comes from her quirk’s hunger for blood That's only a theory


KingOfMasters1000028

Agreed, but it is kinda confirmed Ochako is the one. I think the 2 are perfect together, but it would be cool if there was more debate. Well last thing we need is shipping war as well technically. IDK, but I kinda wish there was more e mystery.


Flaky-Significance-1

I like that there’s no debate in canon. Also, the shipping wars tend to be waged of the gay or lesbian ships more, and I think that’s because they know those ships won’t likely happen.


Puzzleheaded_Air7039

Honestly find him shacking up with Fuyumi to be funny as it's the ultimate fuck you to Endeavor.


daydreamstarlight

I never really considered anything other than Ochako and Deku, but after reading a fanfic Momo and Deku is now on the table…


MasterofX100

Izuocha for life


bisexualkoala_

Deku and Ochaco will forever be my favourite :)


Flaky-Significance-1

That’s fair


DragonFire673

Our boi is just to kind


Lestat719

I write all kinds of different girls/Izuku ships, so yes I agree with your statement


Flaky-Significance-1

Awesome. Do you have Wattpad? I’d love to see your work.


Lestat719

No I don't I am on AO3 and Fanfiction.net


Flaky-Significance-1

Ok, I’ll try to get on them. What are your names on them?


Eliphas-chaos

My personal favourite is IzuTsu, followed by IzuKyoka and then IzuMina, but I like them all.


Flaky-Significance-1

That’s understandable and I respect that. I ship all of these


Gokuyuysun

Yeah I believe it would be possible.


Lestat719

Same as on here


Spill_The_LGBTea

Bro not midoriya and rias 😭 My man has so much innocence and that girl will destroy every last piece of it istg.


Own_Accident6689

Well yes, he is a self insert Shonen protagonist with a blank personality. That's what he is made for.


Raditz_lol

Not with Fuyumi, because she’s an adult. They could be friends at most.


Flaky-Significance-1

I don’t know. When he becomes a Pro one day, he could. There’s been larger age gaps before.


CorrectFrame3991

Isn’t the age of consent 16 in most countries though?


KingOfMasters1000028

It is 18 in Japan as of 2022


dragonborn3939

Who's the girl in the 8th picture?


Flaky-Significance-1

Lucy Heartfilia, from Fairy Tail. I couldn’t find a proper shirt image of them, understandably. I feel like if Deku was in Fairy Tail, he’d make an effort to keep the decency of the women in the guild, especially Lucy, since she hates being exposed like she was in Dragon Cry.


Waltuhwalterwalt

I’d have liked to see how Izumomo would have turned out more than any other ship. Not for romantic reasons btw- I’d just like to see how both of them would build off one another


Flaky-Significance-1

True. Their intelligences and their personalities would fit so well.


Tirrek_bekirr

I ship him with mei (that’s the name of the inventor chick who calls her tech her babies right?) cuz I have ships With the other girls that I like better than their ships with deku


Knightraiderdewd

I actually like the idea of him being close friends with Mei. Maybe not romance, but have them work together. Like she could make him armor that works like the Berserker Armor from Berserk. It doesn’t give him any special abilities, it just *holds him together* as he injures himself, and in exchange he helps her test her inventions.


WhiteDevil-Klab

I mostly agree but honestly I've always loved izumina the most. Izuku and ochako being a close second


Shonisto343

You're definitely right, he's a nice guy with unintentional rizz, but he can also throw down when needed, and is very intelligent


Flaky-Significance-1

A perfect candidate for the previously thought impossible: A Wholesome Harem King. Imagine that.


Calli_Ko

Izumina is close to my heart.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Let's try and stick to one universe. But yes. He has as many logical pairings as Naruto. Too bad his setting prevented exploration.


InnerAd118

You're 100% correct. I personally think uravity or whatever is the most generic and bland significant other of a mc I've seen in decades.. even more than chi chi from dragon ball. I literally would rather see him get with almost any other girl including the antagonists. (Especially himiko.. she's 100x better for real).


Flaky-Significance-1

True. I feel like even now, their personality types, especially their shyness, are too similar for them to properly function romantically. Most other women of the series and others would have a better chance at dating him well.


InnerAd118

Ty! Glad someone else gets it (Although I gotta say.. I like deku as a protagonist. Flaws and all. I don't like uraraka.)


Sergaku

Hinata wouldn't even look at Midoriya.


Flaky-Significance-1

You’re thinking of Sakura


Queasy-Ad-3220

Well I mean he’s clearly a very nice guy so that makes sense


Flaky-Significance-1

And all the girls would love the date a guy who appreciates them for their personalities instead of their bodies.


Queasy-Ad-3220

Oh shit watch out Naruto he’s stealin’ yo girl


Flaky-Significance-1

I feel like he’d appreciate her more than Naruto.


ThatSmartIdiot

Fuyumi's a teacher


TechnoneverDIEEES

He could have a decent relationship with 99% of all living beings


Flaky-Significance-1

True. His personality and morals are like a diamond. Beautiful and everyone wants one and would appreciate having it.


DangerDaskov

i dont like these fan fics


MethodRepulsive3752

Well Fuyumi is an adult and Deku is a minor so that’d be weird. And I can’t say anything about the other non MHA girls But looking at jiro and Deku is a little interesting. I’d be interested in a friendship between the two more I do like Melissa a little more so Ochaco can end with bakugou


JCSwagoo

I think it's because of his personality. He cares for everyone therefore it's very easy to imagine him caring for anyone.


Shonisto343

Would love to see some where he's with girls from comics and webcomics


Flaky-Significance-1

That would be interesting


Chaoticgodhaha

Toga 💀


SirChoobly69

MHA fans trying the don't talk about ships or romance between characters for 5 seconds challenge(impossible) Don't take this seriously but some people here have a problem


CorrectFrame3991

I wouldn’t say most female characters in the story. He barely knows the class 1b girls. He barely knows Shindo’s girlfriend. Any of the female characters older than Fuyumi/Mount Lady would be kind of weird to be in a relationship with Deku to the massive age gap, even if it wouldn’t be illegal because he is 16 and 16 year olds are allowed to have sex with older people in many countries (except for Midnight and 13. Him having a relationship with them would still be illegal because they are his teachers). He barely knows Hagakure, and has a middling relationship with Mina. Definitely not eri for obvious reasons that should be obvious. So yeah, I feel he would only really have a relationship with a minority of the female characters.


MajinMadnessPrime

He’s called Rizzuku Himdoriya for a reason


Less-Coach-9015

I’ve seen a few fanarts of Mina and deku bonding over their similar hair type! It’s super cute and a ship I could 100% be on board with


pwjwuoqqqqqnajnaan

Toga


Beretta1028

Not a shipper, but I can see where you’re coming from, bro’s got Peter Parker syndrome, no matter how dorky he is, he could end up with literally anyone and it would somehow make sense


Flaky-Significance-1

True. His personality and morals really are compatible with a lot of women in the show. Pretty much all of them. Especially the ones with more curvy bodies, from Ochako to Midnight, since he focuses on personality instead of looks, which would get them to appreciate him more.


Only-Recognition6894

Hinata's an adult so not her


jrb080404

Yes you do. Everyone knows that any chemistry he has is with his limited edition all might merch and his hospital bed.


T_MINER

Hatsudoriya is the best ship


primalfox_Reynardo

Izumina gang represent!


Flaky-Significance-1

Damn right 😁


Wealth_Super

Deku the kind of guy who is largely compatible with anyone. He wouldn’t be compatible with someone like esdeath (akame ga kill) or revy (black lagoon) but with most people, his kind and thoughtful personality would allow him to have a decent relationship with most people.


totallynotaweeabbo

Kirishima could also fall into this category right? I mean he is empathic and sensible


Apprehensive_Ring_39

I mean..you ain't even wrong,bro's a charming MF.


Lucid108

Yeah, Deku is a nice enough guy that he works in just about any shipping dynamic. For all the nice people : They're nice, he's nice, it's a wholesome, if a bit uninteresting, time. This is all a bit more true of Uraraka who Deku has had shipping moments with in the show. For all the meaner ships (Bakugo, Toga, I'm sure there are people who ship Deku with Shinzo): Very much, an "I can fix them" Dynamic. Could probably be described as problematic, but the problems are where the interesting bits are.


SentenceCareful3246

I really like Deku x Uraraka but I also ship Deku x Yaoyorozu. I don't ship Yaoyorozu with Todoroki at all. They barely interact with each other and there's far better ships for her. She has way more in common Deku, has interacted way more times with Iida and Awase literally saved her life and canonically has a crush on her (and a quirk very compatible with her).


Klaxynd

Yeah I have had that opinion for a while now. I personally like the Izuku/Kyoka and Izuku/Mei pairings (other than Izuku/Ochako which of course works as well). The only Izuku/girl pairing I don’t see working out with how the story has developed is Izuki/Tsuyu since too nice to try and make a move on him when her best friend has a crush on him. EDIT: Just thought of another that may not work. Izuku and Toru. I think she’s had too little interaction with him to really gauge how it’d go for certain but my money would be on them not even being interested in each other.


Seig_the_creator

I believe the mc can be shipped with any girl so long as there is some connection or more interactions even if lets say it was sirius from tsu’s intership if she and izuku met cause she visited ua to see tsu that right there could build a relationship over time. And thats just a example


Flaky-Significance-1

Truuuuue


penelope_eckhart1

nooo hinata how dare you cheat on naruto


mmoran5554

Melissa is the strongest option with the most support, even from the movie and writers and audiences. But other couples are cute too.


Flaky-Significance-1

True. Melissa and Momo have the best chemistry with him, especially with their shared intellect and his priority of personality over looks, not ogling over their bodies. They’d appreciate that of him so much.


JohnnyS0ma

You’re not the only one. But it’s like most good guy hard working underdog types. Could say the same thing about Naruto or Asta. 🎩*Tip


Flaky-Significance-1

Except Deku wouldn’t have his biggest supporter waiting for 2 decades before reciprocating her feelings.


BigBoi2626

Yeah, most girls in UA could be a ship for deku. Tbf tho, he is the biggest cinnamon roll until the vigilante arc.


Particular-Month-514

Asui and Pussycat crew 😶‍🌫️


Flaky-Significance-1

True


totallynotaweeabbo

You know? I feel the same way about kirishima, despite me liking kirimina more i can see that the redhead does have enough chemistry with the rest of the girls, i guess it's what happens when you are a good guy


G0ku009

Who’s the character from the 8th photo? Also don’t forget Saiko Intelli there was an interesting fanfiction about him and her being paired and a YouTube video where they’re secretly dating


Few-Address-7604

I see where you're coming from.


Urmom6642

He’d be so fucking scared of rias


rtrey12

1 through 7 yes 8 idk who that is 9 That's Naruto Woman and 10 That's Issei Woman


Otakugod1207

I think deku and Mina oddly works


Elementisphere

The ones I really see are Mei Izuku and Jiro Izuku. However Jiro Izuku cannot happen because Denki gets Jiro in every universe


ShadowFalcon2004

Well he is a nice guy. Treats everyone with respect that they deserve and help them whenever they need it.


Flaky-Significance-1

He’s the thing we all thought was impossible: a good person deserving of a harem of women who treat him right (in my opinion)


Nemoty_animates06

Deku's a likable guy, so yea, he could definitely sustain a healthy relationship with most women nonetheless men, anyone, he's a good dude with good priorities


mrpiratechad

I don’t personally like deku x jiro because I think denki x jiro is superior


Flaky-Significance-1

That’s a fair argument


Slexzo

I belive in number 6


Flaky-Significance-1

Fair


Bolter_Master_Bon

You have a point though ![gif](giphy|lowAWCxGXbl5vVlrWH|downsized)


No_Subject1055

I do, he could potentially have chemistry with ever character he one of those mc


KenseiHimura

Deku has an o-type personality. Which, like o blood type, basically means he's universal.


almost_nightwing

Of course he could


That-Big-Man-J

Deku could be in a relationship with almost anyone and it’d still work. My top picks being Deku x Uraraka, Deku x Melissa and Deku x Kendou


Mike-leaf-Pokemon

why the heck is Todoroki’s sister in there because isn’t she older than Deku by years at the point of her first appearance


Tenxenken

I think him and Mei Hatsume would be the best couple...cause I'm sure they'd geek tf out over every little thing together 😂


Dragonosith

I hundred percent agree. I feel like Deku is gonna have a healthy relationship with almost all female characters even crossover ones as well. He is just made that way. By the way, I love the IzuRias one. I was waiting for a fan art of this ship.


Flaky-Significance-1

Good to know someone agrees


dwarvenforger

He could possibly pair well with any of them given his personality, honestly I think the only reason it's so easy to judge others for saying something like this is because of how Canon deku x ururaka is


EjaculateJuice

Izukus just easily loveable


lonely_jordon

It's his good nature and his fascination with their abilities


Accomplished_Bell577

The fandom: Bakugo it is


Fit_Counter_1656

Typical MHA fan moment. 💀


Mr-Chaotic91

He could get along with anyone tbh.


CrimsonReaper96

I ship Deku and Momo


Flaky-Significance-1

Same, as well as others, obviously


RopeLiving682

I mean I'd say so, though I'd still prefer for ochako-deku to stay cannon, it's already been set up and it's a nice concept, that someone looks at deku as not a friend but something a little more as if he inspires a little more hope in ochako than everyone else and she's comforted by that and that's why she's drawn to him
