My Hero Academia has plenty of impressive heroes, but very few of them can match Bakugo Katsuki in popularity. The former bully has become one of the series’ leading men, and he is only second to Izuku for lots of fans. However, when it comes to fanboys, Izuku is the biggest supporter of Dynamight and a new piece of art is showing just how true that is.

After all, Bakugo and Deku have one of the most convoluted histories in My Hero Academia. The childhood friends had a nasty falling out in elementary school which led Bakugo to become an awful bully. Their relationship has taken a turn for the better as of late as Bakugo is now a rival at worst and friend at best where Izuku is concerned. And thanks to that progress, Deku can enjoy a quick nap around Bakugo without having to worry about being singed.
