I cannot express how much bkdk has actually just stolen my heart. No matter how you look at it, platonic or romantic, it's such a good relationship build up and they are truly so close. I cannot see Katsuki with anyone but Izuku at this point because I genuinely believe Izuku is Katsuki's 'only exception' like 'if I cannot love anyone else you will always be the one I ever did.'
As well as IzuOcha, love them, but her whole character arc is realizing her crush on Izuku was only just admiration rather than actual like or love.
BkDk had better build up and time put into it and so did TogaOcha. Both these pairs had more build up than IzuOcha and it shows that each one has a strong bond, even if one is dead. Izuku will kill for Katsuki so matter how much he gets hurt and Ochako will always think about Toga for the rest of her life, there's no saying either of Katsuki or Toga didn't love those two either. Katsuki definitely fully realized he love Izuku especially during the time skip or even before.
Chpt 341 honestly doesn't make sense to me and I know it's basically an alternative ending or something for the reader to base an ending to their liking off of but Izuku is NAWT like that bsffr rn. I genuinely think we would've jumped at the chance to be with Katsuki and fight to become top heros together.
Katsuki basically purposed with that because what do you mean 'I wanted to fight on our heels to the top for the rest of our lives' ok so you want to marry him 🤨. Genuinely it's so gut wrenching AGHH.
The way Izuku looks at Katsuki as well, his eyes don't shine brighter with anyone else and this is shown. He not only admires Katuski but he loves him with his full heart, especially with the panel where he screams to 'give him back' in which the orginal japanese character is possessive like 'give my Kacchan back'. He does not play about is Kacchan bro 🙏
anyways I just think it's such a good ship and relationship whether you want to see it as platonic or romantic (I see it as romantic but you do you) I love the whole build of it and how Katsukis character develops into such a more calm individual. You can see it from the way his eyes soften and it's so cool with that detail.
This is long enough but share some awesome BkDk fics that made your heart twist and turn but end up happy, I need it.
