Everyone knows the Fantasy AU, it's like the only thing in this fandom we can all agree is awesome.
Well it's often said Datte Atashi no Hero, the song accompanying the AU, was actually written FOR the anime. I wouldn't parrot this too much, read to see what I mean.
The Wiki on this song states, "While writing the song, LiSA imagined what it would be like if Izuku Midoriya were to sing his honest feelings to Katsuki. In a way, this is a song dedicated to Katsuki from Izuku."
If anyone has an official source from anywhere OTHER than the Wiki, I'd be glad to see it. But as this is the only source I could find, it's better to say the song was chosen to be Deku dedicating it to Bakugou.
mysterylover123 did a great breakdown on Tumblr of all the scenes showcased and how syncing them up with the lyrics relates to bkdk. You can search it up for yourself. They also do great metas if you're interested!
There's one big thing that makes it obvious Deku is singing to Bakugou here, one that no one can argue with.
Sono me o mitereba atashi mo hashireru
Saikou no finaare wo kizande mite yoWhen I look at your eyes, I can run too
I want to try carving out the best finalePairing these lyrics up with bkdk LITERALLY looking into each other's eyes makes the reason why this song was chosen obvious.
Looking into each other's eyes gives them strength to keep fighting, to be the best heroes.
