Why Deku & Kacchan ‘s relationship was not only non-toxic but were also healthy and productive

A partnership that led to greatness
(not necessarily romantic)

An analysis thread.
(I’ve read up to chapter 285 when making this)
#BNHA
1. Partnership with healthy rivalry: They are not each other’s “comfort zone” but is “comfortable” with each other

1A. I think we all agree that being in a “comfort zone” (for too long) will silently kill your growth.
1C. They might not be at first, but after they solved all their misunderstandings, they are now “comfortable” with each other.
1D. This “not comfort zone but comfortable” is the recipe to create the strong and stable ENGINE where they can race, but also keep an eye on each other. if 1 of them ever go “too fast” to point of damaging oneself, the other will be there to hit the BRAKE for them
2. Being straightforward and honest to each other

2A. Both have the same quality. They’re honest with themselves, and honest with each other. No fake positivity, but also no unnecessary negativity.
2B. One of the worst toxic traits in relationship is when one have to constantly worry abt the other’s feelings, or if the other is hiding something (even if it’s for good intentions).
2C. They’re portrayed as people who don’t even say white lies (even in life threatening situation). And i think this “honesty” plays a huge role in their relationship.
2D.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision"> was always mad at https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥦" title="Brokkoli" aria-label="Emoji: Brokkoli"> in early chapters because he thought https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥦" title="Brokkoli" aria-label="Emoji: Brokkoli"> always have something up his sleeve, or lied to him abt his quirk etc. But even then, https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥦" title="Brokkoli" aria-label="Emoji: Brokkoli"> couldn’t bear lying/hiding something from https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision">
2E. After they resolved this misunderstanding, they then proceed to create trust-based partnership where they share OFA secret and even get https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision"> to help https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥦" title="Brokkoli" aria-label="Emoji: Brokkoli"> with it. With trust as their base, they have strongest and most solid relationship FRAMEWORK of all.
3. Their personalities and approach to things were (VERY) different but they have the same willingness to learn and understand where the other came from
3A. A lot of people are mistaken when looking for partners. They will PRIORITIZE to look for someone that would share similar interests with them, or could laugh at the same joke etc. Those were important and nice to have but it won’t be enough to keep a pair last a long time
3B. Because people are different.

One day the “honeymoon phase” will end and they will be confronted with their differences. What decided the fate of that partnership is: are they willing to learn and understand why the other person do things and see things differently.
3C. This will not work if only 1 does it. That’s why it was bumpy for https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥦" title="Brokkoli" aria-label="Emoji: Brokkoli"> at first. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥦" title="Brokkoli" aria-label="Emoji: Brokkoli"> watched https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision">’s back since they were kids and admired him, therefore https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥦" title="Brokkoli" aria-label="Emoji: Brokkoli"> understood where https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision"> came from.
3D. And that’s why even tho https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥦" title="Brokkoli" aria-label="Emoji: Brokkoli"> disliked https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision">’s attitude towards him, https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥦" title="Brokkoli" aria-label="Emoji: Brokkoli"> never hated https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision"> personally because he knew (at least roughly) why https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision"> did that and what his intentions were.
3E.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision"> on the other hand, WAS a boy with too much pride to really look and learn. (just like, you know, a lot of people on the internet who attacked other people [verbally] only bcs of different opinions or interests)
3F. Society made https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision"> believe that he was the BEST so he assumed other ways that were not his ways were wrong, including https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥦" title="Brokkoli" aria-label="Emoji: Brokkoli">’s way. So his pride turned that fear-of-the-unknown and frustration into anger and attacked https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥦" title="Brokkoli" aria-label="Emoji: Brokkoli">.
3G. But https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision"> was a fast learner and deep inside, he’s someone that likes to learn. When he understood that his (excessive) pride hinders him from greatness, and that trying to understand people’s way that are different will benefit him.
3I. This is one of the most important similarity that a people should look in their partners. You can have all differences in the world, but if you both have the ENOUGH amount and SAME willingness to LEARN, no difference is too different.
4. They aim for the same goal

4A. I believe that in any kind of partnerships (romantic, business,etc) goal is the FUEL. You can have all the similarities in the world and declare all the love you want, but if you have different goals, soon, the gas in the tank will run out.
5. They “slap” each other back to their senses when 1 seem to go off the course of their goal

5A. Human’s are weak (yes they are fictional characters, but Hori-sensei depicted them as humans). When alone, humans are very easy to slack off, procrastinate, or just get distracted.
5B. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥦" title="Brokkoli" aria-label="Emoji: Brokkoli"> had slapped https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision"> hard when he’s abt to give up, and https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision"> will make sure that https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥦" title="Brokkoli" aria-label="Emoji: Brokkoli"> is NOT satisfied with half-assed results and achievement. They will “punch” the other person only to make sure that they don’t slack off. They are each other’s GPS and watchdog.
6 The way they WORK! The commitment and consistency

6A The way they don’t waver no matter what will become the WHEELS that glides them to their goal. They don’t slack of nor distract each other from their goal.
6B This partnership wouldn’t work if 1 person is less consistent than the other because it will just exhaust 1 person from pulling and pushing the one that slacks off often.
7. Their ability to reflect, analyze, and understand their own emotions, strengths, and weaknesses
7A. This is not something you’re born with. For https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥦" title="Brokkoli" aria-label="Emoji: Brokkoli"> this ability comes from their need to grow in the fastest amount of time possible. Without this ability people will easily get triggered. Just like early https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision">
7B. When https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision"> were able to analyze why he felt angry towards https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥦" title="Brokkoli" aria-label="Emoji: Brokkoli"> he’s then able to look for solution. In https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision">’s case was to confront https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥦" title="Brokkoli" aria-label="Emoji: Brokkoli">. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision"> then got his answers that leads to sense of security, growth and him atoning.

7D. Spoiler ch 285: it’s as if the last pages https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision"> and https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥦" title="Brokkoli" aria-label="Emoji: Brokkoli"> are teaching each other what the other didn’t understand: https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision"> learned what “my body moved on its own” meant,
7E. while https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥦" title="Brokkoli" aria-label="Emoji: Brokkoli"> learned that him not taking himself into account and trying to carry all the weight alone could “hurt” (saddened) people around him. Just like how he would feel hurt seeing https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision"> jumped in to protect him. Looking forward for his growth in the upcoming chapters.
8. Mutual RESPECT

8A. “Understanding”is not enough to create THE ultimate partnership. The shield and the ROOF of this partnership that will protect it, is mutual RESPECT for that difference and acknowledging each other’s strengths and weaknesses.
8B.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥦" title="Brokkoli" aria-label="Emoji: Brokkoli"> will always be different and they might clash along the way, but as long as they have respect for each other’s difference nothing will get between their partnership. There will no talking behind backs, or taking each other down.
8C. If they have something to complain they will do it in front of each other out of respect. And this mutual respect despite differences will help clear all kind of obstacles in their partnership.
9. They GENUINELY care for each other

Spoiler ch 285: Not necessarily romantic but can we all agree that no love is greater than one willing to die to save the other?
All in all, them being together is very beneficial to other’s growth towards greatness. Even when they still had their misunderstandings in early seasons, i think no one can deny that https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision"> is the reason for https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥦" title="Brokkoli" aria-label="Emoji: Brokkoli">’s rapid growth and vice versa.
Their dynamic where they push, pull, protect, confront, clash, and mend each other is the perfect recipe for the ultimate partnership
You know what i changed my mind. These are not only qualities for healthy relationship but also for world peace and growth of human racehttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✌️" title="Siegeshand" aria-label="Emoji: Siegeshand">
