Kachakko isn't my otp but it's a ship I really support & can see becoming canon.

1. Bakugou respects Uraraka. He was one of the few who defended her strength during the sports festival. When she proved her worth, he called her by her actual name, Uraraka.

2. While Uraraka may have a crush on Deku & seems like the most "obvious"canon ship, her crush is admiration. She sees Deku as a leader & likes him for his strengths. But beyond that, a romance would be very one sided imo.

3. When Deku & the others went to rescue Baku from the-

-league of villains, she was one of the few who brought up Bakugou's feelings unlike everyone else who wanted to avoid breaking rules. Uraraka cared enough to think of what Bakugou wanted. Just like Deku did later when they finally rescued Bakugou.

4. They have the potential-

-to bring balance to one another. Uraraka is soft & kind. Bakugou is abrasive & loud. The whole "opposites attract" really shows in their dynamic. While Uraraka is reserved but spirited, Bakugou is forward but thoughtful. Uraraka shows she cares openly while Baku is subtle

5. Uraraka isn't afraid to call Baku out on his bs which is imperative in a relationship. But she does it with stern kindness & isn't backing him into a corner with accusatory disdain like others have.

6. And of course the latest blurb from Baku about how Uraraka's roundness-

- & guts are "acceptable". Of all things to point out he talks about her appearance. Usually his "nicknames" are a gibe at the person it refers to. But Bakugou compliments Uraraka in a round about way, having called her "roundface" in the past. We don't see Baku complimenting-

-appearances much if at all. Typically he compliments strengths, intellect, & overall performance. So it's possible he sees her in a much different light than others in Class 1-A.

Eventually she might become a romantic interest bc he & Deku like the same things & want the-

-same things. Bakugou, however, would make a more stable partner in the long run. Deku is so self-sacrificing, he'd probably sacrifice his happiness in a relationship for his hero work. He'd be married to his work in every respect.

Baku however shows more balance overall.

Despite his initial short comings he's had exponential growth & I could see that being more appealing to Uraraka than trailing behind Deku, trying to keep up but always several steps behind.

She idolizes Deku but respects Bakugou. Respect will lead to stability. Idolizing won't

Anyways thanks for coming to my tedtalk. it's fun to speculate

I never thought this thread would blow up as much as it did & I think it's pretty bad ass that it did. But I'mma mute it now cuz I get notifications from it so much it's making me miss other notifications. If u ever wanna discuss kacchanko just dm me. thanks everyone for liking!
