Bakudeku fanart

Yesterday I checked the general ship tags on tiktok, and how popular they were. I mainly check all anime and non anime popular ships I could think of (mainly using the ships on the top popular on pixiv and AO3).
You can look at the numbers here, and you can see in general MHA seems extremely popular on tiktok.
I also wanted to check how popular these ships were on Japanese tiktok, or at least among people who might not use the English ship tag, but the Japanese ship tag. For this I only checked MHA ships.
It is a very simple graph as it is one number (million of visualizations per tag), but I think it is quite interesting:

I found these results very interesting!!
Bakudeku is first, not surprisingly, and it has double the amount of visualizations than second place, which is Todobaku.
Now second place is surprising. Usually, on pixiv, Tododeku is in second place, followed by Todobaku and then Kiribaku. Instead we have Todobaku in second place, and Kamijirou in third place. This IS surprising, given that FM ships are not that popular on pixiv, and usually Todomomo is the most popular FM popular ship on pixiv.
In fourth place we have Tododeku, then Kiribaku, Izuocha, Kacchako and Todomomo. Todomomo here seems to be flipped in popularity.
I do not know why but I have a hypothesis: pixiv gives a total picture that sum up all the fanarts through time. So at the beginning of the manga, Tododeku and Todomomo used to be a lot more popular (confirmed also by the AO3 timeline graphs I posted before).
Tiktok instead is a younger website, so the numbers might be more influenced by recent popularity of ships, especially given that it seems like its explosion in popularity comes from 2020 onwards. So I do think this might be a reason, with Bakudeku, Todobaku, Kamijirou being more popular in recent times.

Hello! So i recently (23/02) I collected a bunch of data on anime ships, mainly out of interest to find out how popular BNHA ships were overall when compared with anime ships. I mainly used pixiv (and AO3 but just for comparison) as I was interested in how popular these ships are in Japan, not in the Western fandom.
How I did it
Pixiv is a Japanese website that allows you to post fanfics, fanarts, dj, comics etc. and for each of these ships I used the "top" button, which should give the correct total amount of works overall for each ship.
Also, in Japanese fandoms it is common for MM ships to specify which characters come first in the ship name, so SasuNaru is different from NaruSasu. In the case of these ships, it was clear that one of the two dynamics had many more works, but I still summed them both.
Here is how I searched, for example, for Kiribaku: 爆切+切爆
For each ship I used their Japanese name, as that was how works were tagged.
Which ships I chose?
To start, I chose all the main BNHA ships: Bkdk, Kiribaku, Tododeku, Todobaku, Izuocha, Todomomo, Kamijirou, Erasermic (only added the 6/3), Kacchako.
And what about the other's anime? Pixiv is not like AO3, so it does not have a full list of most popular media, and in general does not allow to sort by popularity without paying a fee. So I simply went to look at the most sold manga overall, and the most popular franchises through sales. I also asked a lot on twitter and many people suggested anime that I found are extremely popular but I have never heard of in Japan.
These were the animes I considered: AoT, Bleach, Bungo Stray Dogs, Demon Slayer, Dragon Ball, Evangelion, Haikyuu, JJK, Madoka, Naruto, One Piece, Osomatsu-san, SpyxFamily, Tiger and Bunny, Tokyo Revengers, Yuri on Ice.
Let me know if I missed anything (Chainsaw Man did not have a lot of works).
Some ships were illegal (adult and minor) so I took those datas out for this post.
PIXIV
Among the anime considered, these were the top 20 most popular ships on pixiv (most popular = most amount of works).
MHA ships are in green, to distinguish them from the others.
https://preview.redd.it/sud5mr3fe5ma1.png?width=1493&format=png&auto=webp&s=3fb3ea9c1939d6eedfa58dd8b7c0c3a849ad73ef
First of all, the most popular ship seems to be Kotetsu/Barnaby (兎虎+虎兎) from the anime Tiger & Bunny, which is surprisingly not popular in English fandoms. My personal opinion on the lack of this popularity is that... maybe Marvel took that niche, given that Tiger & Bunny is a super hero anime. In second place we have Ichimatsu/Karamatsu (カラ一+一カラ) from Osomatsu-san which also is not well known in English fandoms (it is a recent continuation/reimagining of a very popular 60s manga).
In third place we have the first canon couple, and the only fully canon couple in the top20: ViktoYuri from Yuri on Ice. In fourth place we have Erwin/Levi from Attack on Titan. But you can see that there is a bit of a "jump" between ViktoYuri and Erwin/Levi, showing how much more popular those top 3 ships are.
Finally, in 5th place we have the first MHA ship, BakuDeku with 38k works. Interestingly, this position Bakudeku as the 2nd most popular shounen ship, just after Erwin/Levi.
Let me know if you need any info on the other ships, but in the meantime let's look at the other ships in green (MHA ships) in the top 20: we have Tododeku in 17th position (second most populat MHA ship) and Todobaku in 20th!
Surprisingly, Sasunaru and the canon Sasusaku ship have very similar numbers in popularity, not too different from Tododeku.
Now, let's look at the next 20 ships, again I put the MHA ones in green:
https://preview.redd.it/3rg58w4gg5ma1.png?width=1553&format=png&auto=webp&s=7317d79ba0900ae9fadf8e8c7147900c776a4031
As you can see, in position 21 we have the canon Naruto/Hinata from Naruto! Just after, in position 22 we have Kiribaku, with 10k works.
Other interest ships are LloidYor from the new anime SpyxFamily which is already in the top40 ships of the ones considered here.
In position 32nd we have Erasermic, then at 34th Todomomo which is the most popular FM ship in MHA's Japanese fandoms.
Keep in mind that these numbers are much smaller, so I skipped a lot of other secondary ships from these anime, ex. Haikyuu other ships might have higher numbers of these ones, but I did not considered them all as I was mainly interested in the most popular ships only.
To have an idea of what I mean, we can look now at only MHA ships, to see the numbers:
https://preview.redd.it/ywz1lyx6h5ma1.png?width=1553&format=png&auto=webp&s=942831b72ca3e9723f5659ff1881ffd70b4a4041
Pixiv, checking for time
So, now not all these media are the same, as some, like SpyxFamily have been available only for a few years when compared with anime like Naruto, that came out more than 20 years ago.
Pixiv was born only 18 years ago, so to check how much time fans had to fill pixiv with art and fics I simply calculated how long had each manga or media been out for. In case they had came out before pixiv itself (more than 18 years ago), I used 18.
Here is an example:
MHA came out in 2014, so I simply calculate 2023-2014= 9 years. With these, I calculated N of works/years, to see the mean of how many works had been posted per year (so in the case of bakudeku it would be 38767 works/9 years = number of works per year),
In the case of Naruto, for example, the manga came out in 1999, which is before the founding of pixiv. For Naruto I used 18 years instead of doing 2023-1999.
Here is now the top20 ships for "number of works published each year (mean)"
https://preview.redd.it/tbvpsbq7i5ma1.png?width=1302&format=png&auto=webp&s=cecab60c33de7924864fde359c8e24fe4cfe5116
Not a lot of positions change, we still have ViktoYuri, Kotetsu/Barnaby and Karamatsu/Ichimatsu in the top 3, just in different positions, now with Yuri on Ice having the highest number, showing how big its popularity is.
In position 4th we now have GetoGojo which is extremely popular, while Bakudeku is still in position 5th, but as you can see more popular than ErwinLevi, given that more works for Bkdk are published yearly.
Tododeku is now in position 13rd, Todobaku as 18th and Kiribaku 19th.
% of total works
Now, of course I did not consider ALL ships for each media.
For example, MHA has a lot of ships. While Bkdk is the most popular, there is also Shinkami, Togachako, Tsuchako etc. Some numbers might be small, but they are still there. So I wanted to look at % of each ship in the total media.
For example, MHA has a total of 131284 works on pixiv. I calculated how much of those are, in percentage, Bkdk, tddk, kiribaku etc. So this is what those % numbers mean:
To do this I had to take out the numbers for Tiger and Bunny and Yuri on Ice (the top ships), because the number of media works were... less than the ships number, given how big and massive those ships are in the fandoms.
https://preview.redd.it/nnfr21slj5ma1.png?width=1334&format=png&auto=webp&s=b53b8335878dd6714b6fff4e990f5e4ea08af09b
These are the top20!
As you can see in first place we have Mikey/Takemitchy from Tokyo Revengers with 57%... what does this mean? It means that 57% of all Tokyo Revengers works on pixiv (more than half!!) are tagged Mikey/Takemitchy. Definitely impressive.
In second place we have Dazai/Chuuya from Bungo Stray Dogs, with 41.9% of works being about that ship. Then we have KaramatsuIchimatsu again.
Interestingle we finally have Naruto pretty high! In the Naruto fandom it looks like 31.9% of all Naruto works are about SasuNaru and 31.2% about SasuSaku. If we look later on we also find that NaruHina is 21.9%... which means that more than 80% of all Naruto works are divided between these three main pairings!!
Going forward, we have IchigoRukia from Bleach, which seems to be the most popular Bleach ship (sadly not canon), and 30% of Bleach's works are on IchigoRukia. Consider that the total works also has non-ship art!
EDIT: UPDATED I forgot a ship in the next graph, so I re-did it. I also noticed that many works are tagged multiships, so it is not fully correct to use a piechart for pixiv. Pixiv posts are usually long scroll ones, sometimes with different fanarts. So, for example, there could be 3 bakudeku works also tagged kamijirou.
For this reason I used a bar graph here for the percentages too:
​
https://preview.redd.it/er49oc6ur9ma1.png?width=1535&format=png&auto=webp&s=cf7b9e145563c8b1471a0096877aeb465783bc2b
As you can see, Bakudeku is the tag used for about 30% if the whole BNHA fandom art and fic on pixiv. Following, but with a big jump, we have Tododeku with about 14%, then Todobaku with 10%.
Kiribaku is used for 7.8% of all MHA works on pixiv, then here you see that I added some more BNHA ships when I had to redo the graph.
We have then Erasermic with 3.5%, and then Serokami. Todomomo is the most popular FM ship with 2.5% of the MHA works tagged with it, following Izuocha with 2.3%, Kamijirou 2.2% and Kacchako 2%.
PIXIV VS AO3 (MHA ONLY)
Just out of curiosity, I checked the difference of ship works between pixiv and AO3.
First of all it is clear that AO3 has many more MHA works than pixiv! Almost double. Pixiv MHA has 13k works, and AO3 MHA has 27k works.
Now, I subtracted pixiv-ao3
What does this mean? That if pixiv has more works than AO3, you will have a very high number. If instead the ship is more popular in the West than Japan, you will have a negative number. In the graph I put them in different colors.
Blue for = More popular on AO3 (English speaking fandoms)
Green for = More popular on Pixiv (Japanese fandom)
https://preview.redd.it/07iltvnem5ma1.png?width=1381&format=png&auto=webp&s=5ae804063b7c4d60c23e24b27e40bde5b119dcaf
So in green (on the right) we have Todobaku which has 2481 more works on Pixiv than AO3. This is not a very big number given Todobaku has a total of 13k works on Pixiv. Bakudeku has 1338 more works on Pixiv than AO3, but Bakudeku has about 38k works on Pixiv and 37k on AO3, so the difference is basically very very small.
It seems instead that all the other ships are more popular in Western fandoms than Pixiv, with the exclusion of Todomomo and Kamijirou that have very very small differences.
Starting from the top: Kacchako has 3k more works on AO3 than pixiv, Izuocha has a very big 5k more works... which means that AO3 has more than double the amount of fics than pixiv works.
Then we have very big numbers, like Erasermic and Kiribaku.
I think there is also an easier way to probably look at it... Here is the simple graph of total pixiv and total ao3 works:
​
https://preview.redd.it/d5483l6kn5ma1.png?width=1366&format=png&auto=webp&s=5b605bb61ad0f9a391c65f69edd2e45ac3d4b4e3
In blue we have AO3 numbers, in orange pixiv numbers.
As you can see (in order from left to right): Bakudeku has basically identical amount of numbers between pixiv and AO3. Tododeku seems to be slightly more popular on AO3, Todobaku is a bit more popular on pixiv.
Then we get to Kiribaku which is way more popular in English speaking fandoms, with AO3 having more than half the works than pixiv. The same happens for Erasermic.
Then we have Todomomo that has very similar numbers, and Izuocha which again is more popular in English speaking fandoms than Japan, with double the works on AO3. Kamijirou has also similar numbers between AO3 and pixiv, and Kacchako is instead more popular in English speaking fandoms, with double the works on AO3.

A comparison of ships popularities among different websites. In order: subreddits (total subscribers, active subscribers at different times), AO3 (fanfics), pixiv (fanworks), tiktok (visualizations), tumblr (subscriptions to tag), deviantart (fanarts), fanfiction dot net (fanfics), google trends (search n), . Let me know if you want me to add anything in particular (I could not add twitter given that it is impossible to find a free tool to check tags presence... but I added subscribers to the big daily"ship" account).
All data has been collected this 25/10/22 - 27/10 week.
1) SUBREDDIT (subscriptions to subreddits)
I decided to start with subreddits given that we are on reddit, so for this I checked subscribers to subreddits. This number is similar to the tumblr ones: users that have subscribed to a certain ship space.
https://preview.redd.it/gie571uxqjw91.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=02ddd5285a502d83b5a81685c2e15c1f8cdb3774
As you can see, Kiribaku is the subreddit with the highest number of subscribers! Following at a very close number we have the Izuocha subreddit, and in third place the Bakudeku subreddit. Keep in mind that the Bakudeku subreddit requires a request to join, and an approval, so it is not an open subreddit.
Reddit is more discussion-based, but most of the subreddits seem to be used to share fanworks.
Now, looking at different websites for fanwors:
2) AO3, FANFICS
AO3 is the easiest fanfic archive out there, given that allows you to check different ship tags, even if it is not possible to select a primary vs a secondary ship.
Still, these are the numbers:
https://preview.redd.it/n0y709w9rjw91.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=0df64cd229b6fb7778262c43a83af847fa63d8fe
We have four main ships, with about 6000 fanfics of difference between them. In first place we have Bakudeku, followed by Kiribaku, then Tododeku and Erasermic.
In fifth place we have Todobaku, and then very similar numbers (less than 1000 fics of difference, or about 1000 fics of difference) for the next ones. The F/M ship with the most fanfics if Izuocha, and the F/F ship with the most fanfics is Momojirou.
3) FANFICTION DOT NET, FANFICS
Another way to check fanfictions is using an alternative websites, fanfiction dot net. This website is dramatically less popular than AO3. For this I selected “Pairing” and added the two characters. In first place we have Bakudeku again, followed this time by Izuocha and then Tododeku.
(For easy reading F/M ships are in green, F/F in pink and M/M in blue)
https://preview.redd.it/01liajg3sjw91.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=9025a3bf0d034441ca15f81dc2b784983a47b56c
The main ship on the website remains Bakudeku, following there is Izuocha, which is here both the n2 most popular ship and the most popular F/M ship. In third place we have Tododeku. Interestingly, Kiribaku does not seem particularly popular. Interestingly, Todomomo is also much more popular than Kamijirou.
Keep in mind that we are here having an extreme difference in fanfic numbers. On AO3, for example, we had 34000 fanfics for Bakudeku, here we have about 800 fanfics. Same for Izuocha, here we only have 590 fanfics, compared with the 7800 on ao3.
4) PIXIV, FANWORKS
Pixiv is a Japanese fanwork platform, mainly used for fanarts. To check which Japanese names I used for each ship, I wrote them down in this post. M/M ships can be defined in two ways, ex. Kiribaku and Bakukiri, so this is the sum of both the terminology as in Japanese fandoms they are used separately.
https://preview.redd.it/r77icrzrsjw91.png?width=1254&format=png&auto=webp&s=0f884d110645f085e15f702a279c88add8138918
Bakudeku/Dekubaku is the most popular ship, with almost double the fanfics of Tododeku/Dekutodo which is in second place. In thid place we have Kiribaku/Bakukiri with similar results to Todoaku/Bakutodo. All F/M ships have very similar numbers, with Todomomo being the most popular one.
5) DEVIANTART, FANARTS
Deviantart is specifically for fanarts. It used to be extremely popular in fandoms, years ago, but has lost a bit of its popularity recently. The numbers here are in thousands of fanarts.
https://preview.redd.it/g37dvi75tjw91.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=c04d5fb61da7763c692bad9395a2e516de4cc20e
This platform is different from all the others. Here the numbers are extremely similar, and here the most popular ship is Kiribaku, then Tododeku second and Bakudeku third. In fourth place we have Kacchako which on deviantart is the most popular F/M ship.
6) TIKTOK, VISUALIZATION
Another popular platform of the moment is tiktok. On tiktok you can check how many visualization a ship tag gets. I checked alternative names for each ship, and selected the tag with the most visulizations, so the most common one.
https://preview.redd.it/b1g9qe6rtjw91.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=29e05309ecd6103d8adbbc90e1dc66608ab9a30d
These are the top 10 ships (million of views) on tiktok. Again we have Bakudeku in first place with 5.2 billion views, in this case the difference between first and second place is almost double, similar to pixiv, but here we have Kiribaku in second place. Tododeku is third place and then we have a big jump before the other ships. Izuocha is the most popular fm ship.
7) TUMBLR SUBSCRIPTIONS + SHIPS OF THE WEEK
Here I checked how many people subscribed to each tag. On tumblr you can select a tag and subscribe to it for easy viewing.
https://preview.redd.it/8ebsmrhztjw91.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=a7fef9654e60cf7f92f523c9cd1ba962be0ee9f5
Again we have bakudeku in first place with 60k people subscribed to the ship tag, Tododeku is second and Kiribaku is third. Kacchako is the most popular F/M ship with 11k people.
Tumblr also selectes a top30 weekly ships for their fandometrics, so I decided to add that data too, This is an estimate that I did with the search function, so there could be some mistakes in the total of appearances. To calculate it I loaded the full tag “ships” from the fandom tumblr and then used the browser search function to count how many times the ship appeared (I subtracted the top100 posts, as I only wanted the weekly posts).
First, the weekly top 30 ships had only 4 BNHA ships: Bakudeku, Tododeku, Kiribaku and Erasermic. The first ship to appear was Tododeku which entered at number 17 on June 26th, 2017, and has since appeared 90 times. Then, Kiribaku entered in the lists on October 2nd, 2017 (as number 19), and has since appeared 128 times. Kiribaku was the first BNHA ship to end up in the fandometrics! Bakudeku entered the top 20 ships list of tumblr fandometrics as number 20 June 4th 2018. Since then it has appeared 164 times. Erasermic appeared for the first time the February 18th, 2019 in position 19. And in total it appeared 5 times.
The number of recurrence in the top30 weekly ship can be seen as a measure of the ships popularity on tumblr. Here is a representation of it:
https://preview.redd.it/hjh7sw4hvjw91.png?width=1068&format=png&auto=webp&s=f66d9db8dbfacf0bcfe2c28fd39f4e4cfff117d2
There are also tumblr fandometrics for yearly top100 ships lists. For year 2017 we only have a top30 ships with Tododeku being the only MHA ship (in position 27). From year 2018 to now, we have a top 100 list. It will be interesting to see the list for year 2022!
Here is a graph that summarize the positions for the top 4 ships on tumblr:
https://preview.redd.it/7c3611sjvjw91.png?width=1241&format=png&auto=webp&s=04d3d92b6eacf8e58017d125ab6e76425ee4b307
These are ships that appear every year in the top 100. The lower the position, the better. The number you see on the lines is the position in the top 100. For example, Erasermic (in grey), went from n56, to 39, to 35…. and then lost a bit of popularity in 2021, where it was number 47.
Tododeku instead had a continuous loss of popularity, from position 8 to 43.
Some ships appeared only some years:
https://preview.redd.it/6lqtmiplvjw91.png?width=1274&format=png&auto=webp&s=f7d361fdd7a944118ddab1ec9bc11bef57073e60
As you can see, Izuocha (pink) appeared only in 2018 at position 90 and then fell out of the list. While in blue we have Todobaku appearing only two years, in 2018 at position 92 and in 2020 at position 99.
Todomomo also fell off the list after 2019, same for Kacchako.
Dabihawks was a new and pretty popular ship, appearing in 2020, but has then lost about 30 positions in 2021, and I have not seen it in the weekly popularity ships, so I am not sure if it will still be in the top 100 at the end of this year.
8) GOOGLE TRENDS
Another very generic way to look at popularity is looking at google trends for each ship name. Here I searched only the main ones:
https://preview.redd.it/7thm4yv9ujw91.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=9020b794022fef32951bd6b9a2c2751528a18e0c
https://preview.redd.it/ykrq1fgbujw91.png?width=1226&format=png&auto=webp&s=922829cbcb29dece54fc71239289494071da9fd6
As you can see the starting point is 2015 (start of the manga), but of course the rise in popularity is mainly in recent times. In green we see that in 2017 the most popular ship is Tododeku, rising up more than all the others. It remains popular up till May 2020, while Bakudeku and Kiribaku have similar trajectories. In 2020 we have a bug jump of Bakudeku that remains the most searched of the ships at the moment, while Kiribaku also surpassed Tododeku.
This is the same trends but for the Japanese names of the ships:
https://preview.redd.it/hhygaeymujw91.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=6a47dfa3e6f855407cbb70bf5c5d07bccdeb7db8
Mind that the colors are different here! In blue we have Bakudeku, which has a very similar pattern to Todobaku (in green). Todobaku, even if by little, is here the most searched ship term, following there is Bakudeku. In red we have Tododeku which is pretty similar to the two but seems to loose numbers in 2018/2019. Kiribaku seems to be the least search term. Izuocha has a very high search at the beginning... which is probably due to the term being used for other things in Japanese, and not specifically because of the ship, given that the rise comes from before the manga was even out.
All things considered, the most difficult to decipher is the google trends, given that we see Izuocha (but also Kamijirou) being mixed up with other terms in Japanese, and also because it is not known if the ship is searched by fans or not.
9) TWITTER: daily... insert ship here
For twitter I would have loved to be able to check how many uses a tag has. If you know how, please, let me know! For now, I checked the most popular ship accounts and how many subscribers they have. I added an asterisks if the account is not active anymore. These ships account are usually called "dailybkdk" or "dailyizuocha" etc. For some reasons the subscribers on dailyizuocha were rounded up to 13.4k instead of the full number, but this did not change its position in the list.
https://preview.redd.it/bvjcqintzjw91.png?width=1441&format=png&auto=webp&s=1a86374a58ad3078a1567e907f6135a2417b1b49
In first place we have dailybkdk with 40k users following. In second place we have a tdbkdk centered twitter account called mhatrinity, I put it in grey in the image because it is not necessarily ship specific, so you can exclude it from the analysis. In third palce we have dailykrbk with 25k followers. In fourth place we have dailyizuocha (third place if you exclude the tdbkdk twitter account) with 13k followers.

I enjoy seeing what ships are mainly shared in different medium! I tried pixiv (post here) for fanarts, then ao3 (post here, the latest at least) for AO3, and today I saw a tiktok about the top 8 ships vizualized and I decided to expand on it. The tiktok was by user couldpje5 (on tiktok itself) and seemed to skip some ships.
For this reasons I searched as many ships as I could find (21 in total), and these are the results (let me know if you would like me to add any specific ships). Keep in mind that I also searched alternative names (ex. bkdk vs Bakudeku) and selected the ship name with the highest result.
The data is in million of views, so for example Kiribaku had 2.7 billion views, which is equal to 2700 million views. For easy reading I put in blue mm ships, green fm ships and pink ff ships.

And these are the top 10 ships on tiktok:
https://preview.redd.it/do2pq0ll64w91.png?width=1460&format=png&auto=webp&s=909a06838f8a7b8000658417d03d5e0c5c5ac804

As you know I recently shared a ships survey. General results and survey description can be found here in part 1.
Part 2 was about the single results for each ship, even the ones voted just a couple of times.
Part 3, is about comparisons (gender, age, fav chara, manga vs anime, importance of canon, fandom experience, favorite shounen anime).
In part 4, I started the comparisons between shippers, mainly secondary favorite ships chosen, disliked ships and which ships are actually written as a romance by Horikoshi.
Because of the numbers, I could not compare all ships. I chose to compare only ships that had at least a minimum of about 50 votes. Of course, the more votes there are, the more accurate are the results.
For this reason, the comparisons will be done between Kamijirou, Kiribaku. Bakudeku, Tododeku, Todomomo, Todobaku, Izuocha and Kacchako.
In this post I will compare shippers for:

1. Type of ships shipped
2. Who is the character who appears the most in your opinion?
3. Shippers votes on Deku, Bakugou, Uraraka and Todoroki
4. Shippers selection of true/false sentences and opinions on Deku and fandom

​
1) TYPE OF SHIPS SHIPPERD
I already talked about secondary favorite ships in part 4, but here I wanted to add another small graph about what kind of ships shippers shipped.
These are the data from people who chose at least one secondary favorite ship. In the horizontal line you have shippers of each ship (ex. Bakudeku, Kiribaku etc.).
In red you have shippers (percentage) that only shipped the same type of their main favorite. For example, for Kiribaku shippers, red means that they only had M/M ships among their favorites. For Kamijirou shippers, red means that they only had F/M ships among their favorite.
Pink means that among their ships they had M/M and F/F ships, in blue their secondary ships had M/M and M/F and in green the secondary ships were of all types.
https://preview.redd.it/dtfn9oi0dpg91.png?width=2775&format=png&auto=webp&s=2098af9a31054a6ed3b01c9812630f5f28077080
As you can see, F/M shippers (Kamijirou, Todomomo, Kacchako and Izuocha) were mainly interested in only F/M ships. 89% of Kamijirou shippers only cared about F/M ships. Izuocha, among these, has the smallest number but still more than half (57%).
Among M/M ships, Todobaku was the highest one (44%) to only ship M/M ships. Kiribaku and Bakudeku had the lowest percentages with 28%.
Tododeku had the highest FF+MM ships percentage (18%). Kiribaku had the highest percentage (43%) of MM+FM.
Bakudeku were the more likely to ship all kinds of ships MM, FF and MF. In general M/M shippers had all kinds of ships among their favorites.
2) PANELS - WHO IS THE SECOND PROTAGONIST?
One of the questions asked in the survey was to select, in the opinion of the voter, who was the character with the most panels in the manga and appearances.
Luckily, I have the correct solution so I can see which shippers were the most correct.
I counted panels, from volume 1 till the chapter 361, and, as you can see, after Deku (not in figure) Bakugou has the highest amount of panels and presence. In second place we have Todoroki, then All Might, then Shigaraki and then Uraraka.
https://preview.redd.it/r0p2ked6dpg91.png?width=3053&format=png&auto=webp&s=9f374323d2521ea0451158ce7852263850c9ea3a
These were the shippers votes:
https://preview.redd.it/0j0pgzhjepg91.png?width=3137&format=png&auto=webp&s=fc081a6267d08ca1537176fddfc0867a6c5314c2
In orange you have the percentage of shippers that selected the correct answer (Bakugou).
Bakudeku had the highest percentage of correct answer (83%), followed by Kiribaku (79%) and Todobaku (77%). In general Bakugou ships were mostly correct, minus Kacchako fans, who were mainly unsure of the answer.
Kacchako shippers were the least likely to select the correct answer (only 42% selected Bakugou), but only because they were uncertain.
Kamijirou shippers were the ones who selected the incorrect answers the most. 20% of Kamijirou voted for other characters. Izuocha had the highest vote for Uraraka (8.8%), which is actually after both Shigaraki and Todoroki, in reality. Todomomo fans had instead the highest vote for Todoroki, which is after Bakugou in reality.
3) VOTING ON CHARACTERS
Another main question was voting on four main characters.
Each shipper could choose 1 for a very strong dislike of the character and 10 for "favorite character ever". In green we have the mean of votes for Deku, in orange the mean of votes for Bakugou, pink for Uraraka and blue for Todoroki.
https://preview.redd.it/wj0edbeadpg91.png?width=2854&format=png&auto=webp&s=a4b385cd0752892abffbcc3e3cc93f2f83b5184c
As you can see, shippers tended to mainly give high votes to members of their ships.
Kamijirou is an interesting case because these four characters are not in the ship... so they mainly gave medium votes to them (around 7), with Deku receiving the lowest vote (6,8).
For Deku: the highest score was given equally by Bakudeku fans, Tododeku fans and Izuocha fans (9,2). The lowest score was given by Kacchako fans (6,4).
For Bakugou: the highest score was given by Bakudeku fans (9,6). The lowest score was given by Tododeku fans (5,4).
For Uraraka: the highest score was given by Kacchako fans (9,5), and the lowest score equally by Todobaku and Bakudeku fans (6,3).
For Todoroki: the highest score is given by Tododeku fans (9,6) and the lowest score by Kacchako fans (7,2).
The overall highest score is for both Bakugou and Todoroki (each 9,6), and the lowest score is for Bakugou (5,4), showing how divisive the character can be.
4) SENTENCES
Voters could then select some sentences to be true or false. I divided them in different graphs.
a) DEKU
https://preview.redd.it/tk7x028ggpg91.png?width=3157&format=png&auto=webp&s=2836357dfc39fc45d8794378565d361e47e68e21
There were two sentences for Deku. In orange a desire for Deku to work alone and face villains on his own, and be stronger. In blue the sentence "Izuku is an amazing protagonist".
So in orange, we see that Kamijirou fans (43,8%) had the highest desire to see Deku be stronger and face things alone, so be different from the character he actually is. Kacchako fans actually were the least likely to select this option (3,96%), followed by Bakudeku fans (4,34%).
Bakudeku (79%) were the most likely fans to think that Izuku is an amazing protagonist.
Surprisingly, non Deku ships all had very low percentage. Kamijirou fans had the lowest percentage of voters who thought Deku was an amazing protagonist (8,22%).
This was the order of shippers, from the ones more likely to adore Deku as a protagonist and the ones who don't think he is a good protagonist: Bakudeku, Tododeku, Izuocha, Todobaku, Todomomo, Kacchako, Kamijirou.
b) Fandom interactions
https://preview.redd.it/yy0j4vk4hpg91.png?width=3258&format=png&auto=webp&s=8e8d211e34e1c7bfe346e77fd6e09d628162ed93
Here they could select three sentences. In grey the buyers of merchandise, in orange "I usually don't read shounen and BNHA is an exception" and in blue "I wish people only shipped canon ships".
Let's look at grey. Bakudeku were the most likely to buy merchandise (48%), followed by Tododeku fans (44%) and then Todobaku fans (38%). Kamijirou were the least likely to buy merchandise.
In orange: Izuocha fans were the most likely to consider BNHA an exception, even if the percentage is very low (22%), almost at the same amount as Bakudeku fans (22%). The ones who are more likely to watch shounen in general are Kacchako fans.
In blue, all MF ships but Kacchako voted at at least 16% of voters that they want people to only ship canon ships. Strange, given that none of these ships are actually canon, yet, and nobody can read the future.
c) More fandom options + tolerance for hated ships
https://preview.redd.it/bdiisnmrhpg91.png?width=3487&format=png&auto=webp&s=52213dd2b1879dfe7a65a26d6e56cfb3f52129a7
In pink "female characters are sexualized", in orange "I enjoy seeing BNHA's fanarts even of ship I hate" and in blue it is for reading fanfics of hated ships.
Half of Tododeku fans (49%) believes Horikoshi sexualizes the female characters in BNHA. In second place we have almost half of Kiribaku fans choosing this option (44,5%). The other percentages are lower, but in third place we have Todobaku fans (31%) and then Todomomo fans (30%). Kacchako fans were the least likely to select this sentence. So there was no real correlation between the gender of the voter and the selection, as both Kacchako and Bakudeku fans have very high percentages of female fans.
Bakudeku fans (39%) were the most likely to enjoy fanarts of ships they hate, following Todobaku fans (35%) and Kacchako and Kiribaku (31%). Kamihirou fans (23%) were the least tolerant of fanarts of ships they hate.
In blue, we see that in general people enjoyed fanfics of hated ships in lower numbers than fanarts (because probably reading a fanfic requires more time), still, again Bakudeku fans, followed by Tododeku fans, this time, and Kiribaku fans were the more likely to read fanfics of ships they hate. Again, Kamijirou fans were the least tolerant.
d) True/False: who is correct?
https://preview.redd.it/tn6m5u6kipg91.png?width=3463&format=png&auto=webp&s=ad10cf9ed37cfab11505c2ef0913245811c06e02
These sentences are all true or false. In yellow "The Bnha fandom is small" is a false sentence, as BNHA has one of the biggest fandoms of all media (tv shows and anime). In grey "BNHA's merchandise is not that popular" is also a wrong sentence.
In orange "BNHA has no canon lgbtqa+ characters" is also a false sentence to select, as BNHA has Tiger, Magne and Toga. In blue "BNHA is one of the most popular shounen overall" is the only true sentence.
In general, all ships avoided selecting "BNHA fandom is small" as it is generally accepted and seen that BNHA is quite a big fandom. In grey we also had very low numbers, showing that most fans know BNHA's merchandise is popular. For both sentences, Todomomo had the highest percentages.
In orange: "BNHA has no lgbtq+ characters". Sadly, Kacchako fans had a 30.69% of them who actually believes BNHA has no canon characters. Kamijirou were following with 24,66%. Bakudeku were the most likely to avoid selecting this false sentence (only 7,7% of them did).
In blue, most shippers selected that BNHA is one of the most popular shounen overall. Again, Kamijirou were the least likely to have a wrong evaluation of BNHA, and only 27% of them selected this sentence.
​
Next post should be the last!!

This is part 1 of the results specific to Bakudeku for the BNHA 2022 ship poll!! You can find general results here and I will update on that reddit post all the results (I will use it as a masterlist of results, if you want to save it).
This post is specifically for Bakudeku and people who voted Bakudeku as their favorite ship. In total, 413 people voted Bakudeku as their favorite ship. So the sample size is quite big which makes the results quite accurate!
Bakudeku was also the most popular ship:
https://preview.redd.it/momcc7kz0je91.png?width=4059&format=png&auto=webp&s=aca86254f4069eb44683c06cd3089d56b28fb0f7
Let's look at the gender of the Bakudeku fans:
https://preview.redd.it/oz1yz4wa1je91.png?width=2728&format=png&auto=webp&s=ed694e85b0eb9d4675ef9621f60193f807dd3a76
Almost 2/3 of shippers were females! The second most common gender among shippers was non-binary, followed by males and then people who preferred not to answer.
Regarding age:
https://preview.redd.it/w0kxwglg1je91.png?width=2662&format=png&auto=webp&s=2494d2acab29ad53ccf591a57997ae5ff687e095
This was quite interesting. It will be easier to know when I will post the ships comparisons, but it is quite unexpected to have more than half of the fans around the same age. 56% of fans were between 18 and 25 years old.
Now, in the survey the voters could give a score of 1 (bad!) to 10 (the best!) to these four characters; Todoroki, Uraraka, Deku and Bakugou. These were the average votes:
https://preview.redd.it/ksca94xv1je91.png?width=883&format=png&auto=webp&s=f021e32d7eaf8f49ca019aeb1d73fb3f39d1f485
Bakugou got the highest score, almost close to 10! probably the highes score of any character for any other shippers' samples. In second place Deku also got a 9 score!
There was also a question about your favorite character and this was the result for Bakudeku fans:
https://preview.redd.it/7mdxem112je91.png?width=3231&format=png&auto=webp&s=f9a0ab8029244eb20d3a6aa2f835e1823bc5f85e
Bakugou is the most favored character, 53% of Bakudeku shippers voted him as their favorite character. Izuku was in second place with 32% of votes. The rest was distributed among quite a range of characters.
Now, let's look at secondary ships. The voters could vote for ONE favorite ship (Bakudeku, here), but had the chance to add as many secondary favorite ships as they prefer. Here I divided how much of the Bakudeku voters also had other type of ships among their favorites.
For example: MM means that these voters only had M/M ship types and no M/F or F/F. Instead "MM MF" means that the shippers also had some M/M among their favorite. And "MM MF FF" means that the shippers had all type of ships.
https://preview.redd.it/r31pdvx72je91.png?width=2390&format=png&auto=webp&s=9d9dd48b966c919c7446b72503a4e2cf0b9b90e7
49% of Bakudeku shippers only shipped MM ships, then we had a 1/3 of shippers that ship all ships.
Shippers could choose as many secondary ships as they wanted, so even rival ships. If we look at how many Bakudeku choose rival ships:
https://preview.redd.it/idbs0ivc2je91.png?width=2153&format=png&auto=webp&s=03a7bf4b1ce5b4e4b04417929462e4aaa1527634
This is quite interesting because while 29% of people had no secondary ship, the rest was divided in half and half. Of the people who had a secondary ship, half of them shipped a rival ship.
Now, one of the questions was: How up to date with the manga are you?
https://preview.redd.it/vpbu2jlh2je91.png?width=2662&format=png&auto=webp&s=dccc028a7b97e4415e1effe07442939beecdbc8f
An extremely high percentage (in yellow) of Bakudeku fans were up to date with the manga!
Next question: What is your least favorite ship?
https://preview.redd.it/593agwul2je91.png?width=2814&format=png&auto=webp&s=fb6a7076747753a24c6d7cc90aaa2c23e0f6a212
There was actually quite a variety of least liked ships. The main one is Izuocha with 25%, but very close to Kiribaku (23%), and Kacchako (18%), all rival ships. Another big portion was Endhawks (9%).
Bakudeku fans voted (mean) 6,5 on how much they dislike their disliked ship (on a scale of 1= not at all, 10= a lot).
Another question was: How do you think a ship/many ships will become canon in the manga?
https://preview.redd.it/jq5s4cju2je91.png?width=2891&format=png&auto=webp&s=532bd1c4c7a69f41d1fa4296d3fb12934fc593ca
48% of Bakudeku fans think that the romance (whatever romance will happen) will happen with only hinted panels, nothing romantic. A 22% of Bakudeku fans think there will be no romance at the end of BNHA.
Bakudeku fans also voted (mean) 6,08 on how important it is that their ship will become canon (1=not important, 10= extremely important).
Almost at the last question: I recently counted panel count for main BNHA characters, finding that Bakugou has the highest amount of panels/presence in the manga after Deku. I asked voters to give me their opinion of which character had the highest panel count:
https://preview.redd.it/nikp12gh3je91.png?width=1066&format=png&auto=webp&s=a154152508300398f21397bb44199d50d2ec9cf6
Bakugou is the one with the highest panel count, and Bakudeku fans for the most got it right.
The voters could also choose to select one, two or as many as wanted of these following sentences:
https://preview.redd.it/6974n6zk3je91.png?width=2717&format=png&auto=webp&s=ab613a275d485d0a70dfc69ee364e14700150e8e
48% of Bakudeku fans purchased BNHA merchandise. A quite high percentage (39%) also enjoy seeing fanarts of ships they disliked/hated.
79% of Bakudeku fans voted that Izuku is an amazing protagonist.
Bakudeku fans also voted a 6,35 in how negative was their fandom experience (1=no negativity).
Please, keep an eye on the general Bokunoship subreddit if you are interested in ships comparisons!

This is part 1 of the results specific to Tododeku for the BNHA 2022 ship poll!! You can find general results here and I will update on that reddit post all the results (I will use it as a masterlist of results, if you want to save it).
This post is specifically for Tododeku and people who voted Tododeku as their favorite ship. In total, 93 people voted Tododeku as their favorite ship.
The majority of shippers re female (61%). Male are a minority, in lower numbers than Non binary people (10%) and Genderqueer fans (9%):
https://preview.redd.it/p0ty9ogv2ce91.png?width=2387&format=png&auto=webp&s=de61a8873a787770825d05412b93207105dc6c42
Regarding age, the younger voters are at a relatively smaller amount (16%), with most voters being between 18-25 (44%) and 26-33 years old (23%). This is nothing new as usually fans for M/M ships tend to be older than fans for M/F ships.
https://preview.redd.it/1wlaouzu2ce91.png?width=2338&format=png&auto=webp&s=e03eef136cf387f990799080907beae51b97f722
Now, in the survey the voters could give a score of 1 (bad!) to 10 (the best!) to these four characters; Todoroki, Uraraka, Deku and Bakugou. These were the average of votes:
https://preview.redd.it/b1jkfr0a3ce91.png?width=752&format=png&auto=webp&s=fe80db05f518edf543bcaf2ede321487207201ac
As expected, Deku and Todoroki, the two members of the ship, have the highest votes, with Todoroki in the lead.
There was also a question about your favorite character and this was the result for Tododeku fans:
https://preview.redd.it/pc2ofhrg3ce91.png?width=3016&format=png&auto=webp&s=660db8316509154c518908abb9bb03efc64f725b
Deku and Todoroki are divided almost equally as favorite characters, with Todoroki slightly in the lead. The rest of the votes are divided almost at the same quantities between an array of other characters.
Now, let's look at secondary ships. The voters could vote for ONE favorite ship (Tododeku, here), but had the chance to add as many secondary favorite ships as they prefer. Here I divided how much of the Kamijirou voters also had other type of ships among their favorites.
For example: MM means that these voters only had M/M ship types and no M/F or F/F. Instead "MM MF" means that the shippers also had some M/F among their favorite. And "MM MF FF" means that the shippers had all type of ships.
https://preview.redd.it/w8127x2o3ce91.png?width=2370&format=png&auto=webp&s=fd7070f65fc834ace0a56a54bc61f9ea7797145d
Slightly more than half only shipped MM ships, with the rest equally divided.
Regarding secondary ships, we also had (in orange here down) a big portion of shippers (30%) that had no secondary favs.
https://preview.redd.it/rryx3b7q3ce91.png?width=1988&format=png&auto=webp&s=0239918ab9eeb499641aa1797fd4f9bb732dbfe8
A 42% had secondary ships that were specifically not rival ships.
Now, one of the questions was: How up to date with the manga are you?
https://preview.redd.it/6z5k2kgw3ce91.png?width=2340&format=png&auto=webp&s=0c95d0618da92d4f70dcbabd525b36b95fe581c8
Next question: What is your least favorite ship?
https://preview.redd.it/pnx8w8cy3ce91.png?width=2866&format=png&auto=webp&s=ec1a852ddaa9720edf4a3cffec116d715af1945d
As expected the least favorite ship is a rival ship, Bakudeku, with 44%. In second place, but with much less consensus, we have Todobaku (14%), Todomomo (9%) and even a non rival one (Endhawks 9%). Izuocha also received some votes and got a 6%. A big 10% had no least favorite ship.
Tododeku fans voted 7.8 (mean) for how much they hated their least favorite ship.
Another question was: How do you think a ship/many ships will become canon in the manga?
https://preview.redd.it/7ak4bqnc4ce91.png?width=2508&format=png&auto=webp&s=0d4e9cc09248a7e42dfd38620acd1872293a8d6d
50% of Tododeku fans thought that romance (not necessarily Tododeku, just any romance in general) will be confirmed through only hints. 26% of fans voted that BNHA will have no canon romance.
The voters also voted (mean) 4,03 of how important it was that their ship become canon in the future (with 1= not important and 10=very important).
Last question: I recently counted panel count for main BNHA characters, finding that Bakugou has the highest amount of panels/presence in the manga after Deku. I asked voters to give me their opinion of which character had the highest panel count:
https://preview.redd.it/0roh6otl4ce91.png?width=2338&format=png&auto=webp&s=2bbc3c8dc8ae2e93a6c69641cfc4eaa30a669339
While most voters got this question right, a big portion voted "no idea".
Tododeku fans also rated their fandom experience at 6,10(mean. Where 1 was very negative and 10 very positive).
The voters could also choose to select one, two or as many as wanted of these following sentences:
(results in percentages)
https://preview.redd.it/2087gfhh5ce91.png?width=1327&format=png&auto=webp&s=6cd6321fee11daf4c79e457751bf33d6cb311d17
More than 40% of Tododeku fans purchase merchandise.
About 25% of fans read and enjoy fanarts of ships they hate.
Looking at the last two setences... more than 70% of Tododeku fans think Deku is an amazing protagonist, and 60% identify BNHA as one of the most popular shounen overall (correct if we consider volumes sales).
Please, keep an eye on the general Bokunoship subreddit if you are interested in ships comparisons (ex. who has the highest fandom experience, who voted for what etc.)

This is part 1 of the results specific to Kamijirou for the BNHA 2022 ship poll!! You can find general results here and I will update on that reddit post all the results (I will use it as a masterlist of results, if you want to save it).
This post is specifically for Kamijirou and people who voted Kamijirou as their favorite ship. In total, 73 people voted Kamijirou as their favorite ship.
The majority of shippers were male (more than half):
https://preview.redd.it/fzlc4t6rybe91.png?width=1653&format=png&auto=webp&s=1d5bb24c11931b8937d20c1486cd5a0f629df1b4
There were also no non binary or genderqueer shippers among the voters.
The majority of shippers were also quite young, in general almost all of the shippers were under 25 years old:
https://preview.redd.it/1x9d4u3wybe91.png?width=2533&format=png&auto=webp&s=987c8fa5edbb0e935becf7c1a93b6292275213b6
Now, in the survey the voters could give a score of 1 (bad!) to 10 (the best!) to these four characters; Todoroki, Uraraka, Deku and Bakugou. Interestingly, for Kamijirou none of these characters are part of any big rival ship. These were the average of votes:
https://preview.redd.it/4mx8b6i0zbe91.png?width=1652&format=png&auto=webp&s=00d265671fcf6fb1c1569b589d90895abfbffdeb
Deku, Bakugou and Uraraka had very similar votes, all barely above average, while Todoroki seemed to be the preferred character.
There was also a question about your favorite character and this was the result for Kamijirou:
https://preview.redd.it/87lbe50bzbe91.png?width=3014&format=png&auto=webp&s=c2f8e889fba0d5d1506d8fb3b8ae2294fce8c522
Surprisingly (I have never seen this for any ship before)... the majority of people had no favorite character, with 25% having Kaminari as their favorite. Usually, shippers vote for one of the ship members but in the case of Kamijirou it seems like shippers did not care much for Jirou. Kirishima and Izuku both had more votes than Jirou.
​
Now, let's look at secondary ships. The voters could vote for ONE favorite ship (Kamijirou, here), but had the chance to add as many secondary favorite ships as they prefer. Here I divided how much of the Kamijirou voters also had other type of ships among their favorites.
For example: MF means that these voters only had M/F ship types and no M/M or F/F. Instead "MM MF" means that the shippers also had some M/M among their favorite. And "MM MF FF" means that the shippers had all type of ships.
https://preview.redd.it/pgc4qz6kzbe91.png?width=2211&format=png&auto=webp&s=59ad931afcba0133704782a6280a269dc18c0edc
As you can see the overwhelming majority of Kamijirou shippers only shipped M/F ships (92%).
In the case of secondary ships, I also checked if Kamijirou fans enjoyed other rival ships... which means ships with Jirou (ex. Momojirou) or Kaminari (ex. Shinkami) in it.
https://preview.redd.it/5y7v70jxzbe91.png?width=1653&format=png&auto=webp&s=020bb55093db920ddf6a5ab900866745a9e0ee14
A 23% of voter had no secondary favorite ships (none), but the overwhelming majority of shippers did not enjoy rival ships at all (74%).
​
Now, one of the questions was: How up to date with the manga are you?
https://preview.redd.it/bonq5al40ce91.png?width=2643&format=png&auto=webp&s=54f2dfd224f001dac22a3421cac2eebcef0bab52
Almost half of Kamijirou shippers were up to date with the manga.
​
Next question: What is your least favorite ship?
https://preview.redd.it/lzmi6qa90ce91.png?width=2258&format=png&auto=webp&s=12f415267fa30d492d9a2dff2f6f59f5f1ca89cd
Surprisingly, no rival ship won here. Usually shippers tend to dislike ships that are rival to theirs. In this case, Bakudeku was the least favorite ship, followed by Endhawks, Kacchako and Todomomo. A big percentage (17%) had no disliked ship.
Kamijirou shippers also voted (from 1: I don't dislike my hated ship too much - to 10: I really hate it) 6,9 in mean to how much they dislike their least favorite ship.
Another question was: How do you think a ship/many ships will become canon in the manga?
https://preview.redd.it/1e3vov9o0ce91.png?width=2604&format=png&auto=webp&s=44e55c5e146b174ee04f8265915d1d8dc5f8acab
This was not specific to Kamijirou, but in general. The majority gave no answer, in second place with have a 21% of only hinted romance.
The voters also voted (mean) 7,75 of how important it was that their ship become canon in the future.
​
Last question: I recently counted panel count for main BNHA characters, finding that Bakugou has the highest amount of panels/presence in the manga after Deku. I asked voters to give me their opinion of which character had the highest panel count:
https://preview.redd.it/2cz469gz0ce91.png?width=1664&format=png&auto=webp&s=0ac8a12c36946b427cf07221c5904055b50c258c
The majority of shippers gave the correct answer!
Kamijirou fans also rated their fandom experience at 4,7 (mean. Where 1 was very negative and 10 very positive).
The voters could also choose to select one, two or as many as wanted of these following sentences:
https://preview.redd.it/d3fsawac2ce91.png?width=1371&format=png&auto=webp&s=0b4a5d637525056fb36c7b6699f85b734d744c2d
The numbers are percentages.
Only 16% of Kamijirou fans buy BNHA merchandise (first sentence).
23% (third sentence) of Kamijirou fans enjoy fanarts of even ships they hate.
25% of Kamijirou fans think BNHA has NO canon LGBTQ+ characters when we know that Toga, Magne and Tiger exist.
27% of Kamijirou fans think Izuku is an amazing protagonist
Please, keep an eye on the general Bokunoship subreddit if you are interested in ships comparisons!

​
The ships considered are:
Izuocha, Kacchako, Kamijirou, Todomomo, Bakudeku, Kiribaku, Tododeku, Todobaku, DekuTsuyu, Miritama, Erasermic, TamakiNeji, Togachako, Tsuchako, Kiribaku, Momojirou and Kirimina. In the graphs you will see MM ships in blue, FF ships in pink and FM ships in green.
At the end of the post you will find the ships name I used, in Japanese. They are in order of first fanwork publish, just noticed that for m/m pairings I put the two versions (ex. dekubaku+bakudeku) together as on AO3 there is no distinction and the ship is still the same, even if in Japanese fandoms the distinction is quite important.
This post is divided in just an analysis on pixiv (1. Pixiv) and a comparison with fandom on AO3, being it the biggest usually English based fanfics site (2. AO3 vs Pixiv). Of course, keep in mind that Pixiv is mainly for fanarts! This post is simply about ship popularity, so how common the ship is, unfortunately there is no centralized English based website with an easy way to catalogue fanarts.
If the post is too long you can go at the very end and search for "THE SUMMARY".
1. PIXIV (Bakudeku most popular, Todomomo most popular FM ship)
Let´s look at the total numbers:
https://preview.redd.it/5261xvi2irb91.png?width=3817&format=png&auto=webp&s=b5017bca9a4e588cc12a5f25b13be1ca3595a8f7
This is the total numbers for each ship on pixiv. In first place we have Bakudeku, in second place (with half the works of Bakudeku) we have Tododeku, followed by Todobaku and then Kiribaku. Todobaku and Kiribaku have similar numbers.
In fifth place we have Todomomo, followed by Izuocha, then Kacchako and Kamijirou. Interestingly, these are the four main FM ships all with very similar numbers.
FF ships are not very populars, and the numbers are very low.
If we look only at FM ships:
https://preview.redd.it/wzyuhw6hirb91.png?width=3278&format=png&auto=webp&s=86e260aa7089e9db5b98c57055ad29f3d279723f
We can see that Todomomo is the most popular FM ship, with 1886 works. In second place, but very close we have Izuocha with 1827 works, then Kacchako with 1770 works and finally Kamijirou with 1686 works.
​
2. AO3 vs PIXIV
We cannot just compare the raw numbers as pixiv generally has less fanworks. Pixiv's total BNHA fanworks are 94413 at the time of this post (15 July 2022), while AO3 BNHA's fanworks are 240448, which is basically 2 times and a half more than pixiv.
For this reason, I think the best way to compare is checking the percentage of a ship over the total fanworks. For example, if Tamaneji has 119 works on Pixiv, we check what percentage is that of the total 94413 (basically 119/94413*100), and the same for AO3.
This way we are comparing how many works each ship "occupies" as a mean of popularity.
Keep in mind that this time the colors will be orange for AO3 works and black for pixiv works.
https://preview.redd.it/kv89lqsgjrb91.png?width=3305&format=png&auto=webp&s=a26d5afb4b6e44405e261229c3dcb15f157273ee
This is the total graph!
In first place for both AO3 (orange) and pixiv (black) we have Bakudeku, even if you can see that Pixiv has a higher percentage of Bakudeku than AO3.
In second place for AO3 (orange) we have Kiribaku, with a little less than 12%... but on pixiv Kiribaku is not really that popular, as you can see that the black bar is much smaller. Instead on pixiv the second most popular ship is Tododeku, which has a very similar popularity on AO3.
Todobaku is in fourth place for both servers, but considerably more present on pixiv than AO3.
Izuocha is fifth place, surpassing Todomomo, and is quite more popular on AO3 than pixiv. Same for Kacchako. All the FF ships are much more popular on AO3.
The only other difference is Todomomo, which is less popular on AO3 than pixiv.
​
Now let´s look at the ships more in detail. On AO3 you can select Otp_true to keep only the fanworks that have one tag, the ship tag. Let´s see if anything changes:
FF SHIPS:
https://preview.redd.it/gnwgg7s9krb91.png?width=1116&format=png&auto=webp&s=f42e28b8c3b5c53a96fbabd9c5e02bd84100d905
FF ships are much more popular on AO3 than pixiv. In particular, Momojirou is almost 8 times more popular. But if we look at "otp- true", so stuff only tagged as the ship, we see that the popularity between pixiv and AO3 is quite similar.
FM SHIPS:
https://preview.redd.it/gt4bnmajkrb91.png?width=1351&format=png&auto=webp&s=edad8eb44f2f437672779125b198813519564b59
For FM ships, we see that Izuocha is almost double in popularity on AO3 compared to Pixiv. Kirimina is also almost 5 times more popular on AO3 than Pixiv. While Todomomo, TamaNeji and TsuyuDeku are more popular on pixiv.
When we consider otp_true, Izuocha on AO3 becomes less than half of the percentage that it has on pixiv. Kacchako becomes the most popular ship on AO3, but still less than pixiv. With otp_true both Kamijirou and Todomomo go to very small numbers, while Kirimina, TsuyuDeku and TamaNeji almost disappear.
MM SHIPS:
https://preview.redd.it/r13jh4uclrb91.png?width=1271&format=png&auto=webp&s=c5327b8693fd9983020e697f3e515d30478220d1
As we can see, Bakudeku is more popular on pixiv than AO3, and when we use the otp_true, this popularity doubles. Interestingly, only AizawaMic and Kiribaku are more popular on AO3 and basically have very low percentages on Pixiv.

Way I searched for ships will be at the end! Just know that I searched for ship tags (in Japanese) on pixiv, and then on ao3. I also have one for fanfiction dot net but the graphic was looking a bit busy, so I might post that and more in a part 2.
Here is a timeline of what seems to be the first fanwork for various ships on pixiv (only fanarts considered) and ao3:
https://preview.redd.it/ir8qdnp7q4s81.png?width=3757&format=png&auto=webp&s=58de0cf5abe2ef498d5eba25926bb01ca2a4ec9c
Interestingly, the first shippy fanart is the 24 of July 2014, just 17 days after the start of BNHA on Jump, months before it is serialized on volumes. The fanart is Izuocha! The second ship will pop up in August and will be Bakudeku. Most of the most popular ships in bnha are already on pixiv in 2014-2015.
(btw, 2014-10-18 seems to be the date for the first fanscan)
The first fanfic on ao3 (with a ship) happens in January 2015, and it is Bakudeku. We know at that point that Bakudeku is pretty popular on tumblr (confirmation from a 2015 tweet that comments on Tododeku, confirming that Bakudeku seems to be the dominant ship on tumblr).
Interestingly, Momojirou is the last ship (of the ones considered) to pop up on pixiv.
I was thinking of checking which chapters were coming out when these first works were coming out as well, maybe later!
Now for some simple data and graph:
This is the rate of publication of fanfics on ao3 per day, since the first work was published.
https://preview.redd.it/ndvpxtb3r4s81.png?width=3248&format=png&auto=webp&s=eed0f36b3681e4d18bc0fbc3b01764806311d565
When we look at actual number of works:
https://preview.redd.it/z2wvxr4cr4s81.png?width=2871&format=png&auto=webp&s=1ed9774c01659b2643d55278b37bb83187977664
We can see that the rate for Tododeku is pretty high, comparable with Kiribaku, even if when we look at the actual numbers we have different amount of works (but not by much).
​
Doing the same for the art on pixiv:
https://preview.redd.it/g0jl777ir4s81.png?width=3341&format=png&auto=webp&s=8bc669b1643208310a0daf7dc114fe2ab24b9762
It shows here that on pixiv the rate of Kiribaku is quite low. All the f/m ships have here very similar rates.
I won´t add the numbers here because they are almost identitcal to the rates. But is is clear that Tododeku is much more popular in Japan than Kiribaku.
I also did not add the DekuBaku and BakuTodo, even if they have quite a big amount of works.
​
Regarding how I collected the data. I used ships from the most popular ones, so I did not search for every single ship. Still, the only ships that did not make the cut (among the ones searched) was Kirimina (too late, 2017) and Kacchako (because my search on ao3 kept giving me error, but Kacchako will be in the chronologically ordered list down below).
To find the ships on pixiv I did my best to find the Japanese name, and I added the name down below, just know that I am not Japanese, so I might have gotten the wrong one!

This is a part 2 of the results on the ship survey I shared here on reddit! In total I got 640 votes and so many ships and interesting things!
Part 1 is here:
PART 1 (general data, gender, age, fandom interactions and how to read the survey)
How will the results be divided? (IN THIS POST)

1. Ships specific results for the main ships voted (links)
2. Ships comparisons (age, gender, preferences) between most of these main ships
3. The negativity corner - dislikes and stuff (it will be an external link)
4. Others Ships (not the main ones): likes and dislikes

How will the future results be divided? (FUTURE/SOON POSTS)

• There will be a post specifically about people's attitudes towards the fandom
• A post with actual stats to see if there are any correlations between data
  ______________________________________________________________________________________________________
  

1) SHIPS RESULTS
I posted specific results for each ship in their own subreddits. The results contain: age of shippers, gender of shippers, if they are up to date with anime and manga, fandom interactions and favorite characters, plus a bit about what are the disliked ships and characters.
Keep in mind that some had a very low sample size.

• Izuocha
• Bakudeku
• Momojirou
• Kiribaku
• Kacchako
• Todomomo
• Tododeku
• Kamijirou
  ______________________________________________________________________________________________________
  

2) SHIPS COMPARISONS: AGE
First of all, the ships comparisons are done between the data of these ships, but I excluded Momojiro and Kacchako because of the very very low number of fans that answered to the poll! I am sorry!
Between these ships (Izuocha, Bakudeku, Todomomo, Kamijirou, Kiribaku and Tododeku) here you can see the age of the fans.
The lighter the blue the younger the fans.
https://preview.redd.it/6cz79odp0xg71.png?width=3449&format=png&auto=webp&s=0de5a623d2f49d61f5ae1297fd3c32867f780465
As you can see, Kamijirou had the highest percentage of under 18 fans. It was followed by Tododeku and Izuocha.
Kiribaku (19%) and Bakudeku (25%) had the lowest percentage of underage fans.
Tododeku (3%) and Kiribaku (3%) had the highest percentage of fans over 35 years of age.
If we divide fans in half, Underage to 25 and over 26:
95% of Kamijirou fans were under 25 years of age, confirming that this is the ship with the youngest fanbase here. This was followed by Izuocha with 86% of fans under 25, and Tododeku. Kiribaku was the ships with less fans under 25 years of age (only 65%).
SHIPS COMPARISONS: GENDER
Apologies for the messy graph, I hope it is not too confusing. In colors you can see the gender (blue males, for example), while every slot is a ship.
https://preview.redd.it/4u99m6k82xg71.png?width=3627&format=png&auto=webp&s=e54064ba2819acb9757564168e8cbc54c3d01faa
As you can see Izuocha had the highest amount of male fans (75%), followed by Kamijirou. Todomomo and Kacchako (not in this graph) are actually the only FM ships were female fans are more than male fans.
Bakudeku had the highest amount of female fans (67%) and genderfluid fans (9%), while Kiribaku had the highest amount of Non binary fans (16%).
Bakudeku also had the highest variability in gender (there are fans who are female, male, non binary, genderfluid, bigender, agender, pangender, demiboys). Todomomo had the lowest variability but it also had a very small sample. It also had the highest amount of agender fans!
Bakudeku had the lowest amount of male fans, followed by Kiribaku and Tododeku. Tododeku was actually the MM ship with the highest amount of male fans.
SHIPS COMPARISONS: MANGA AND ANIME
Here in blue you can see the amount of fans (for each ship) who are up to date with the manga, and in red the ones up to date with the anime.
https://preview.redd.it/5fov4emf3xg71.png?width=3354&format=png&auto=webp&s=8bcf247c11a8285ba8e1f001dcf7452033937b6a
(In red) Izuocha fans had the highest amount of fans up to date with the anime, followed by Kamijirou and Tododeku fans.
In general, more than half of each fanbase was up to date with the anime (just Kiribaku fans are a bit below 50%).
(In blue) Bakudeku fans had the highest amount of fans up to date with the manga, followed by Izuocha fans and Kamijirou fans.
Interestingly, Izuocha fans had very similar numbers of people up to date with anime and manga both!
Todomomo and Bakudeku fans were the only ones who were more up to date with the manga than the anime!
SHIPS COMPARISONS: FANDOM INTERACTIONS
Fandom discussions on characters and plot (IN BLUE) and on ships (in red) had very different results. Here you can see the ships in horizontal.
Take note that these percentages are always within ship. For example 50% red bar Bakudeku means that 50% of the Bakudeku fans who answered to the survey did participate in ships discussion (and 50% didn't).
https://preview.redd.it/e180inm34xg71.png?width=3212&format=png&auto=webp&s=71cb9a52d0f826448e2acd7f59f32c7d314fd038
All ships fans participated more in characters and plots discussions than ships discussions.
Bakudeku fans had the highest amount of both discussions on plots and characters (57%) and for ships (55%).
Kamiirou fans and Kiribaku fans had the biggest difference between ships and fandom discussions, with a much higher preference for fandom discussions.
​
Now, for merch collecting and creating:
https://preview.redd.it/jwfqkuix4xg71.png?width=2643&format=png&auto=webp&s=7360285d0f2c58afa1c4b8337ef1f5b319b7615c
Bakudeku and Kiribaku fans were the fans most dedicated to collect merch and create merch, but note that this is still only 20% of the total fans for each ship, showing that this particular fandom interaction is not popular or available to everyone!
Fanarts (sharing and making) or edits:
https://preview.redd.it/fwla86o45xg71.png?width=2986&format=png&auto=webp&s=eaadbd827612e12300633b59950b6ad89325945c
Bakudeku fans were the most involved in sharing or making fanarts and edits (48%). Interestingly all the M/M ships are in the top 3 for this particular hobby!
Fanfics (writing and reading):
​
https://preview.redd.it/ujrtcbgc5xg71.png?width=3091&format=png&auto=webp&s=877573551691a03462b6273c8bf3de386eebcd09
Fanfics reading and writing is confirmed as the most popular hobby/interaction for most of the ships!
Bakudeku (77%), Kiribaku (74%) and Todomomo (72%) had the highest amount of fans that interacted with fanfictions (reading them and writing), while this hobby was much less popular among Izuocha fans.
SHIPS COMPARISONS: LIKES
People in the survey could reply with their favorite character too! I would expect shippers to have one character of the ship as their fav and it was mainly confirmed, with difference variations of percentages.
For example, in Kiribaku, fans could choose a fav character and many chose Kirishima or Bakugou, with Kirishima in the lead.
I was interested in knowing if some ships lean towards one of the two characters more than the other. This is the graph that came out of it.
What you see in the graph is the amount of preference each ship's fanbase had for one of the two characters in the ship. Don't worry, I'll explain how to read each column.\
https://preview.redd.it/bwvlyskm6xg71.png?width=3028&format=png&auto=webp&s=a8474016e36cc2a8cca40e70b544e65743dcc5c2
This is probably a bit confusing, but I will explain everything.
Each column is the amount of votes of difference between the two shipped characters (chosen as favs).
For example, in the first column we have Todomomo fans. Most of them chose Todoroki or Momo as their favorite characters, but there was a small preference for Todoroki. The column indicates that preference (less than 5%, it is actually 1%). This means that Todomomo fans did not have a very strong preference for one of the two shipped characters.
In the second column we have Tododeku fans, and we can see that they have a preference (but still less than 10%) for Todoroki.
Going on we get to Kamijirou fans. These fans had a preference for Kaminari (around 15% more than Jirou!). While Bakudeku fans did have a preference for Bakugou more than Deku, but ony around ~20% more.
Kiribaku fans also preferred Kirishima, and Izuocha fans preferred Deku.
Izuocha fans were the fans with the highest difference in preference between Uraraka and Deku, with more than double the votes going for Deku instead of Uraraka, and a difference of almost 30%. You can see it here (this graph is only Izuocha fans)
https://preview.redd.it/gu6kia0p7xg71.png?width=2700&format=png&auto=webp&s=13fd9f957b172dac36d46eff45e4b689d4cff917
Todomomo fans were the fans that had no difference in their love for Momo or Todoroki.
SHIPS COMPARISONS: DISLIKES
Now, in this graph you will see the amount of fans of each pairing that selected "No disliked ship". Basically, when I asked "Do you have a least favorite ship?" you could decide "nope! Not even one!"
https://preview.redd.it/9l94krdu5xg71.png?width=2188&format=png&auto=webp&s=8115327aa90bb124a2f7a3f8ada268b4dec1ed6d
The majority (52%) of Tododeku fans had no disliked ship! The rest of the ships' fans are around similar numbers. In order of fans that were okay with all ships (and had no dislikes) we have:
Kamijirou (31%), Bakudeku (29%), Kiribaku and Todomomo (28%), Izuocha (18%).
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
3) LEAST LIKED SHIPS
I decided to keep all the dislikes outside reddit, so you can find here which ships were the least liked by each fanbase.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________
4) OTHERS
In part 1 I linked the posts for the main ships, but there were actually so many more ships added to the survey, they just had very little votes.
This section of "Others" do not include Izuocha, Kacchako, Momojirou, Bakudeku, Kiribaku, Kamijirou, Tododeku or Todomomo.
Here is how the rest of the favorite ships in the total survey were divided between:
https://preview.redd.it/tocmbhr98xg71.png?width=3349&format=png&auto=webp&s=26d5624930b2970ebbf3b0e721839cc756e8925a
As you can see, there is a big portion of Shinkami shippers (12% of the other ships voted as favorite), Endhawks (10%) and then less voted ships.
The ship in that “other” category were: Bakujirou (1), Bakumina (1), Bakutsuyu (1), Dabihawks (1), Dekubowl (1), Dekujirou (1), Dekukendo (1), Dekulissa (1), Dekunejire (1), DekuSetsuna (1), Tokotsuyu (1), Stain/Y/N (1), Tamaneji (1), Shindeku (1), Shinbaku (1), PopstepCrawler (1), Ojitooru (1), OjiroShoji (1), Monoshin (1), Multishipper (1), Kirikacchako (1), Kirideku (1), Kiribakudeku (1), Izuochatoga (1), Kamideku (1), Kamimomojirou (1)
As you can see, these other ships were mainly F/M ships and M/M ships, with some OT3 and with a minority of F/F ships (basically Togachako).
https://preview.redd.it/ihd8324e8xg71.png?width=2736&format=png&auto=webp&s=083857f79e81749116e006f6ca1c28c1d55edccd
Among these other shippers, what was the most beloved character?
​
https://preview.redd.it/9h6mo34h8xg71.png?width=3333&format=png&auto=webp&s=a26319952aafd56919659ed24a603bbbe6dbb691
Deku was the fan-favorite but the majority was relative and pretty small (12%). He was followed by Bakugou (9%), Endeavor, Toga, Shinsou and Kirishima (all 6% each).
There was a big portion (40%) made of characters which received only 1 or 2 votes and A LOT of characters.

The first part of the general results can be found here.
This post will be only about Kacchako!
CAUTION, only 19 Kacchako shippers participated, and mainly from reddit. I don't think this is a good representation of the ship fandom, especially after I found in the ao3 stats that Kacchako is actually the most popular F/M ship on AO3 and the ones with the most works (excluding fics where Kacchako was used as a secondary tag).
For this reason, this data is not an accurate representation of the fandom in general and even on the fandom here on reddit.
I still decided to present some of them for pure fun!
First of all, most of the fans (minus 4) used reddit, so I expect they found the survey here on reddit.
The majority of fans were female, which is interesting because it confirms that Kacchako and Todomomo, even here on reddit, which is usually male skewed, are the FM ships preferred by a female audience. Kamijirou and Izuocha are, instead, preferred by male fans.
https://preview.redd.it/rijfjlyskwg71.png?width=1653&format=png&auto=webp&s=e7696410b97e6840bb208f25fd8f5d0cf73a40f3
Regarding the age, 78% of fans were above 18! This is definitely older-skewed than other F/M ships. The majority (but not by much) of fans were between 18 and 25 years of age.
https://preview.redd.it/h5f6zvj2mwg71.png?width=2238&format=png&auto=webp&s=ba6a8e88996b67c1dcd023574cea71ffed037bc3
Now, regarding the way this fandom interacts, we can see here that Kacchako fans (red) had usually higher fandom interactions with the overall (all ships, in blue) sample. In particular a much BIGGER amount of ship discussions, and even higher fanfics and merch. Only in fanarts and edits the percentage was much lower among Kacchako fans of this survey.
https://preview.redd.it/gf5zv2xblwg71.png?width=2802&format=png&auto=webp&s=4126489cd8c873267d2003081e313b954dbc358d
The majority of fans in the sample were also up to date with the anime and the manga. Surprisingly, someone replied that they never read the manga or watched the anime!
CHARACTERS AND SHIPS: DISLIKES
Now, we all know Kacchako shippers ship Kacchako... but who is their favorite character?
https://preview.redd.it/7ur4w440nwg71.png?width=2678&format=png&auto=webp&s=37d6b8f5dba9cb3c5d563459545aab71282fd338
Bakugou is the favorite characters among shippers, even if Uraraka is pretty close. This is one of the closest differences (as in, less difference in fav among the two characters of the ship).
Now, everyone has their dislikes, but could it be that the rival ships were the most disliked? For example, people shipping Kacchako might dislike Bakudeku, which is a popular rival ship where Bakugou is shipped. Or they might dislike Izuocha, where Uraraka is shipped.
Here are the results:
https://preview.redd.it/9nekojyknwg71.png?width=2079&format=png&auto=webp&s=c7249e4db736383bba8537439718a22120f4bb2d
The majority of people (in blue) had no disliked ship at all! There was then an equal amount of disliked ships where Bakugou was the one shipped and where Uraraka was the one shipped.
Stay tuned for more data and results! I will post them in Bokunoship!

The first part of the general results can be found here.
This post will be only about Kiribaku!
110 people voted Kiribaku as their favorite ships, so this will be the sample size for this data.
Please, check the first link for how to read this poll, but for a brief summary: this poll mainly had results from reddit, and had most of the interactions on reddit. For this reason, it describes the status of the fandom on reddit, mainly.
And if we look at the amount of users that (among other platforms) chose Reddit, we see that it is a majority:
https://preview.redd.it/mfp6gwxblqg71.png?width=1653&format=png&auto=webp&s=9f339c8c22db4fd0d22190f35d3d92c2f51d3860
Now, let's look at age of Kiribaku shippers, comparing it with the age of the people who participated in the survey.
https://preview.redd.it/qc6q0inglqg71.png?width=2519&format=png&auto=webp&s=7cd39dcfbc5111f0245b418c87e8529f67572b55
The red line is Kiribaku shippers, the blue one the total shippers in the survey. As you can see, Kiribaku shippers were mainly older. There was less than half the number of underage shippers when compared with the total amount of people in the survey.
In the category 18-25 years old, there are also more Kiribaku shippers than the percentage in the general survey. Same for the categories 26-34 years old, and the 35-44 years old. From the posts I have already done, it does look like Kiribaku shippers are in the older age ranges when compared with Bakudeku, Izuocha, Todomomo.
Now, let's look at gender:
https://preview.redd.it/08ihz16vlqg71.png?width=3360&format=png&auto=webp&s=31ae30d59e05c788e4a191146bab51a6515ec9d0
Most Kiribaku shippers are female, then Non binary, and male, and then Genderfluid. In general, female shippers are only a little more than half the shippers!
​
Now, regarding the fandom interactions: Here you can see the percentages of interactions of Kiribaku shippers (in red) versus the percentage in the general poll.
As you can see, Kiribaku shippers were usually more involved in general plot discussions, fanarts, fanfics and merch collection! Surprisingly, they are less involved in ship discussions!
https://preview.redd.it/0eporlv5mqg71.png?width=3121&format=png&auto=webp&s=821dade1c359881b2d37470873edb1bfb218d2b2
Regarding anime and manga involvement, Kiribaku shippers are in the majority not up to that with the manga. For the anime, they are more or less half up to date with it, and half not up to date with it.
https://preview.redd.it/1winnlkgmqg71.png?width=2864&format=png&auto=webp&s=2816a72a7e99a21d3560f071b79391645b1d1908
CHARACTERS AND SHIPS: DISLIKES
Now, we all know Kiribaku shippers ship Kiribaku... but who is their favorite character?
https://preview.redd.it/1k4mld3omqg71.png?width=2937&format=png&auto=webp&s=f9177580ebbf3ae2ccda8a2bc6da027782c38a10
Kiribaku shippers have a pretty high variability of characters! In general, the two ship characters (Kirishima and Bakugou) take a good 71% of the preferences, with Kirishima having almost the double amount of votes than Bakugou.
Now, everyone has their dislikes, but could it be that the rival ships were the most disliked? For example, people shipping Kiribaku might dislike Kirimina, which is a popular rival ship where Kirishima is shipped. Or they might dislike Bakudeku, where Bakugou is shipped.
Here are the results:
https://preview.redd.it/h9ewjtxzmqg71.png?width=2868&format=png&auto=webp&s=8d1eda2d4d6d2997b171496e9fb160dd6319e1ed
In general, a bit 28% of people had no dislike! 50% of Kiribaku shippers actually dislike ships where Bakugou was shipped, and only 5% where Kirishima was shipped. I think this could be because Bakugou is such a popular character, and has more popular ships around him than Kirishima!
Now, is the least favorite character the rival? For example, is he or she the one Bakugou is shipped with?
Overall, no. Actually, Mineta wins as the least favorite character.
https://preview.redd.it/mkhpjne8nqg71.png?width=2312&format=png&auto=webp&s=3df648eb3a442c939a96c2d14b1eab4ffada2037
Stay tuned for more data and results!!
