If there was ever a dream team to root for in My Hero Academia, it would be Mirko and Bakugo. The two characters may not have met until recently, but fans are already obsessed with their dynamic. The hot-headed heroes have a special kind of temperament that any villain would fear. And thanks to some new art, fans are getting to see the pair fight side by side once more.

The piece comes from one of Horikoshi’s editorial assistants on Twitter. The user nstime23 posted the chaotic sketch for My Hero Academia fans as you can see below, and it suits the pair just fine.
Mirko is shown in the top right corner with her white hair cut short into a bob. With a fist pulled back, Mirko is ready to land a serious hit on any poor soul who rushes her, but that is only if they get past Bakugo. After all, the student is dressed in his pro gear as always, and he’s got one of his hands reaching out to blast opponents away.

This team-up is an absolute dream, and My Hero Academia is letting the pair work together for real in the manga. These days, My Hero Academia is working through its final act, and Bakugo is facing down Shigaraki with his friends as they stall for Deku’s arrival. In the meantime, Bakugo is working with Mirko to trip the villain up, and fans are already loving their dynamic. So if Mirko is looking to bring on a sidekick at some point, she could not do better than Dynamight.
