Moving on to the TodoBaku territory, I didn't do much research on this one and I don't see it as much as I see others. I've also never met someone or talked to someone who shipped this one either.
Re-ika: So, basically, I don't think I can properly write an open-minded opinion on TodoBaku.
Re-ika: And frankly, I don't have much to say about this one. I think what highlights TodoBaku the most - for me - is the sports festival and their interactions after the Hero Licencing Exams.
Re-ika: I honestly love their interactions and it is, sort of, refreshing to see the two interact.
Re-ika: They're a funny duo too. The very definition of their relationship is that meme: 'I have successfully made friends with him'.
Re-ika: 'You didn't'.
Re-ika: I don't know if you know what I'm talking about, but yes, I think it's fun to see them together. Now on to my favorite part, being a judgmental and disagreeable person.

Re-ika: Simply, I can see Todoroki considering Bakugou as a friend and Bakugou just not having it at all - even if they are closer now.
Re-ika: But who are you guys kidding, they don't really consider each other friends and more like rivals. At best, they tolerate each other enough to seem like friends. Not strangers but not friends either. That is how I see their relationship. And perhaps, when they're pro-heroes - if even that will come, since the plot is going some places I can't keep up with - they will be frenemies.
Re-ika: I actually like that about Bakugou and overall, the characters in My Hero Academia. Not everyone likes each other and not all of them will get along. They don't need to be friends, but still, they have their roles to play with each other.
Re-ika: But, in conclusion, I would like to see more of their interactions, because they're a fun duo to consider.

Re-ika: Yeah, I'm doing this.

Re-ika: This is one of the characters I wanted to include even though it is a very unlikely ship. There is absolutely no hope for this ship.
Re-ika: Whatsoever.
Re-ika: None.
Re-ika: Klaar met sy liewe. Didn't have a life to begin with...
Re-ika: But since I'm a self-proclaimed professional shipper and have no life, we will not ignore the potential. And honestly, this ship has and was born from potential - in my point of view, at least.
Re-ika: Jumping in, I am biased due to the trap called fanart and a professional multishipper friend. It is cute, I love the chemistry that it potentially has. It would be a very healthy relationship, honestly.
Re-ika: The two are both mature in their own ways, but Momo especially is a very responsible person. What highlights this ship the most for me, is the very beginning. The first moment Bakugou acknowledged Momo's words and when he admitted she was right about her observations. That moment was after Midoriya and Bakugou fought for the first time as Class 1A students.
Re-ika: It gets me thinking that Bakugou would learn a lot from Momo and listen to her, because she is always making good points. Hypothetically speaking, Momo herself would learn from Bakugou once they had a moment to influence each other.
Re-ika: Confidence, maybe - how to use her quirk affectively? In a direct or indirect way.
Re-ika: I would love to see that, because Momo has a lot of potential in using her quirk in more unique ways - the same way Bakugou uses his one quirk in an effective and different ways. (I might have recently started watching analysis videos on the portrayal of female characters in My Hero Academia and came to realize so much things that Kōhei Horikoshi has in front of him to work with, regarding female characters. But I've seen little progress)
Re-ika: Anyway, their ship dynamic itself is a cute one too, if you understand what I mean.
Re-ika: However, this is all hypothetical. They have little interactions, influence on each other and almost no presence in each other's life. I think them interacting more would be nice, especially interactions similar to the first few episodes where it shows the best in Momo and the new Bakugou Katsuki.
[Re-ika looks away from the camera, thinking they stopped filming.]
Re-ika: (Laughs) This is just me talking about Momo, instead of Bakugou as a character. I would actually like to do a chapter on Momo though.
