Commission (they are still closed but I get to show you what I worked on)

[thief-of-eggs]

Kaminari has ADHD, and Ojiro’s tail is his fidget.

[riverthebooknerd]

angry shippers, foaming at the mouth at someone daring to ship characters other than their otp: RAHAIFHWAOFHWAOPHFWOAHEOQHOAEHFAUEFH *HEAVY BREATHING* YOU STUPID FUCKING BITCH ASS BITCH YOUR MOTHER MUST BE SO ASHAMED OF YOU FOR BEING BORN THIS IS WHY YOUR FATHER LEFT YOU THAT PAIRING DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE THOSE CHARACTERS BARELY EVEN INTERACT ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID ARHAOFNAONFO-

me, mashing random characters together like barbie dolls: hehehe now kiss

[armenianwriterman]

This is the third time Kaminari's been randomly stroking Ojiro's tail. They never draw attention to it but he's done it several times and I want to know why. Have you two been smooching behind everyone's backs too, like Bakugo and Kirishima in the first movie?

Boku no hero academia season 7: Mashirao Ojiro's body appreciation

Kaminari always loves Ojiro's tail as ever. I am jealous! I also want to touch his tail.

he’s my cute lil guy

Denki falling down the stairs infront of all of his classmates is a canon event.

Denki loves Ojiro's tail. I don't get why they're not shipped together more.

On the other hand Denki would melt for a dom S/O with a tail/animal like quirk.

Just curious, but what is your favorite Ojiro ship?

Personally, mine is OjiToru (Ojiro x Hagakure).

Hmm. Good question. I don't think I have a particular favourite. I'm a multishipper, so I enjoy seeing him with different characters for different reasons.

(These are in no particular order):

Ojiro x Hagakure

Arguably the closest thing to a canon relationship in MHA, it's clear they have a strong bond and are close enough to share their worries with each other. Wholesome and supportive, plus Ojiro nearly lost his mind when he thought Hagakure kissed him during that one mission, and she ran straight into his arms when she was upset after discovering the UA traitor; they're adorable.

Ojiro x Kaminari

I absolutely adore Kaminari's tail fluff obsession. Ojiro is so unbothered in every panel where Kaminari is playing with his tail, so he must do it all the time. Plus, there's that cute panel at the hot springs where Kaminari's splashing Ojiro in the water. Ojiro is the chill boyf' to Kaminari's silly.

Ojiro x Shinsou

I love a good enemies to lovers. Saying that, I also love that Ojiro doesn't have the capacity to hold a grudge and immediately welcomes Shinsou to the heroes course once he's finally moved across. It's a ship where I see Shinsou having lots of guilt/insecurity and needing reassurance that he's forgiven, with Ojiro being the endlessly reassuring boyfriend, happy to squash any of Shinsou's issues immediately.

Honestly, I would love to see Ojiro with anyone. He gets so much shtick, when in reality he would make an excellent down-to-earth partner.

Thank you for the ask! ❤️

[Extra: Waffling about an OC ship under the cut]

Ojiro x Mahoro

I also once made an OC specifically to pair with Ojiro, called Mahoro Mimi.

Ojiro usually doesn't like being seen as ordinary, so Mahoro was made to be the opposite. She's a girl with a transformation quirk that turns her into a terrifying, demonic monster when she gets too emotional.

It's a pairing that focuses on each wanting what the other has; a way to stand out, and a way to blend in.

I really enjoy this pairing too, because it focuses on Ojiro learning to accept and love who he is, as well as helping someone else love themselves as they are.

GIVE THE TAILBEAN SOMEONE TO LOVE, HORIKOSHI, COME ON.

and have not: Jammingwhey's darkness

Kaminari has been portrayed as a light-hearted character, but I think there were a lot of interesting - and unfortunately lost - opportunities to explore the darker corners of his mind, similarly to what we got with Kirishima. We know that they exist, because we were shown a bit of his feelings of inadequacy, before he got his pointer shooter, and a bit of his fears, when we got the short ship scene between him and Jirou during the PLW. I appreciated those moments, but I would have liked to see much more of that.

Apparently, Kaminari seems to take a lot of comfort in Ojiro’s tail. According to BNHA’s wiki, he also confides in Ojiro himself. It isn’t known, what exactly he confides to Ojiro about. But apparently, Kaminari has some stuff to confide about...

For example, I was fine with Aoyama being the UA traitor. To me, that plotline did feel coherent. However, I’m also intrigued by fanon’s musings about Kaminari as the traitor. Especially the idea of Kaminari injuring Kirishima while fleeing, after he's accidently discovered by the latter. Juat imagine the potential of that drama! The KiriBakuKami trio being broken up! Bakugou feeling enraged and hurt! Jirou feeling hurt and enraged! The fallout of demoralization and emotional pain for all of 1-A!

Imagine a similar expression when !traitor Kaminari gets caught red-handed. And electrocutes one of his closest friends in order to escape.

I expected, then hoped for Kaminari' promotion to temporary main cast, similar to what Kirishima got during the Shie Hassaikai arc. Unfortunately, that hope remains unfulfilled.

...

I won’t get into the potential of his quirk because I’m not very well-versed in quirk-technicalities.

I do find this hypothesis from other fans convincing: At some point, Horikoshi noticed that the power potential of Kaminari’s quirk was too OP - which at some parts, could have broken the story. In order to prevent that, Kaminari never received any extended major screentime. In turn, we got deprived of Kaminari-focused character development.

Everyone, say "thank you, animators!" - A rare instance of Kaminari looking badass.

At the very least, I would have liked to know Kaminari’s motivations for going through rigorous training in order to become a professional hero. As far as I remember, we never learned about them.
