This is quite literally just Kakagai… like you are describing Gai and Kakashi’s canon relationship

[watermelonsloth]

In my previous polls I found the trend of people really not liking Kakashi ships, so out of curiosity

Update

my fav ships rn

[rescue-ram]

mash, but if you get that multiple times then i'll also say naruto for the ask meme

MASH

my favorite female character

I mean Margaret is peak, but I really enjoyed the little recurring bits of Ginger and Margie in the earlier seasons.

my favorite male character

Trapurr :3c

my favorite book/season/etc

I mean my toxic trait is that the MASH movie is one of my comfort films, and when I'm craving MASH but feel overwhelmed by the number of episodes I just put on the movie. Of the show, my absolute all time favorite season is the 2nd, SO many good episodes in that season.

my favorite episode (if its a tv show)

OR is my all around favorite, Deal Me Out is my personal favorite, and Five O'Clock Charlie is my favorite silly episode.

my favorite cast member

Alan Alda ❤️

my favorite ship

TrapHawk :3

a character I’d die defending

Trapper again lol, I do not want to HEEEEEEEAR about the mfing note or lack thereof kdkdjj. Of all his many sins his friendship with Hawkeye is not to be numbered among them!

a character I just can’t sympathize with

I feel like the easy answers are Charles and Potter, but honestly because they're 'difficult' characters it's a little more interesting as an intellectual exercise to try and figure out their perspective on things. I honestly find BJ harder to sympathize with in a lot of ways because he's meant to be relatable but kind of embodies values of the past that go unchallenged or unexplained in a way that's kind of off putting.

a character I grew to love

Klinger or Charles. As a kid I remember not really liking Klinger for a while and finding him embarrassing or annoying, but I really liked his moment with Mulcahy in Dear Dad (I saw this after the later seasons when the show looped back around to the start in rerun jxjjxkc). I didn't like Charles until my most recent rewatch as an adult. Sidebar but I also misremembered Frank as being way more actively malicious, he's much funnier than I thought as a kid.

Naruto

my favorite female character

We are not exactly spoiled for riches here (🔪🔪🔪 at Kishimoto) My favorite as a kid was Hinata, but I do really enjoy a lot of Sakura's moments.

my favorite male character

Kakashi big time. I thought Lee had the most epic moments as a kid and really enjoyed him, but in a different way- was always way more interested in Lee canon and Kakashi fanon iykwim

my favorite book/season/etc

IDK if this is still cliche but the Zabuza Arc is one of my all time favorite shonen arcs ever. That was the arc that made me completely feral about this manga for like five years straight kdkdkjd. There are many peak moments afterwards that I like more, but as a coherent story arc from beginning to end the Land of Waves/Zabuza Arc is so tight and so good.

my favorite episode (if its a tv show)

🤔 The one that comes to mind is the Gaara Rock Lee fight which was a peak moment for me and also contains one of the earliest moments that made me ship KakaGai lol

my favorite ship

KakaGai for LIFE baby

a character I’d die defending

Honestly none of them they all must pay for their crimes ❤️

a character I just can’t sympathize with

I did not understand most of what happened with Sasuke and Itachi's stories as a kid and tbh I don't really understand most of the twists now. Also Orochimaru getting a redemption arc of any kind made me apo-fucking-plectic and still does fkkcjcjc

a character I grew to love

🤔 Tsunade... I found her annoying/irresponsible/over sexualized when I was younger, but I find her more interesting now.

my anti otp

KakaIru, one of my very first NOTPs ❤️

I’ve watched (OG) Naruto 3 times. I’ve watched Naruto Shippuden 4 times. I’ve been watching it since 2014. I’m still not getting the whole Kakashi x Iruka ship.

Honestly, I don’t see it. I just don’t. They’ve hardly interacted. Kakashi was never even into him. He showed zero attraction towards him.

I mean, let me give you my opinions on Kakashibowl ships.

Kakashi x Itachi? I ship it and I can see it. Because, they were both in the ANBU and were partners. They got along well and Kakashi even stopped some fellow ANBU from bullying Itachi. He also seemed to have taken a liking to Itachi. He was even sad when the Uchiha massacre happened. He asked himself if Itachi was always that dark and if he just hadn’t seen it.

Kakashi x Might Guy? I definitely see it. I don’t ship it. But, this ship is definitely real.

Kakashi x Minato? I LOVE this ship! It’s my 3rd favorite Kakashi ship. I mean, many people might say they were more like Father and Son. But, Kakashi NEVER thought of Minato as his Dad. Minato was his sensei, idol, God, crush. In Naruto Shippuden he kept on thinking about Minato half the show. He said, talked, thought about Minato so many times that he’d come close to rivaling Naruto’s obsession with Sasuke. It had been over 16 years and his infatuation with Minato had not diminished in the slightest. He even mistook Naruto for Minato during the war.

Kakashi x Naruto? I USED to ship them before watching Naruto Shippuden. I mean, I can clearly see the ship. But, I prefer Kakashi x Minato so much more. And I don’t think I can go back to shipping KakaNaru when I know that Kakashi x Minato came first. So, I do see the ship. I just don’t ship it.

Kakashi x Obito? This is my 2nd favorite Kakashi ship. It’s practically canon!!! No need to explain why it’s practically canon. Y’all can just watch their episodes in Naruto Shippuden.

Kakashi x Sasuke? I’ve always had mixed feelings about this one. Personally, I think it feels more like a Father/Son relationship. And in Shippuden it just feels like all Sasuke feels for Kakashi is hatred and nothing else. So I don’t actually see this as a ship.

Kakashi x Yamato? OH MY GOSH! My favorite Kakashi ship! Words can’t describe how much I love it. This ship even had it’s own filler arc. Which reminded me so much of Romeo & Juliet. I mean, it’s thanks to this arc that I can never hate Danzō. Not even after what he did to my favorite Uchiha (Shisui). Danzō rescued Yamato and actually took care of him as if he were his own son. Yup. Danzō was actually nice and caring with Kid Kinoe (Yamato). He also reminded me of Juliet’s Dad when he had found out that Juliet slept with Romeo. When Danzō found out that his baby boy had fallen for Kakashi. Well, he didn’t take it very well. He tried everything to keep his precious "son" away from Kakashi. He even went as far as trying to erase his memory or brainwash him. I don’t know what he was going to do. But, it involved a tied up Yamato to a chair and Danzō using some sort of head device. But, Kakashi barged in with Lord Third in tow and rescued his Juliet just in time.

For Pete’s sake! Even Asuma x Kakashi and Zabusa x Kakashi have more chemistry than Kakashi x Iruka.

Just so y’all know I am not a multi shipper. I am not a fan of Kaka*ru or Kaka*bi, and I’m not a huge fan of Kakay*ma, so please don’t go in my posts and tag them! I’m happy you found joy in these Kakashi ships, but I am not someone who enjoys these relationships at all, so keep it off my posts please and thank you :)

Unpopular opinion : kakairu ship is overrated

strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree

I am not actively ship it, but I can see the appeal of this ship. They got shy-shy in their conversation about Naruto, Kakashi’s ‘tough way’ and Iruka’s ‘soft way’ at handling Team 7’s Chuunin Exam, Iruka protected a kid and the Kakashi came and strongly grabbed the Pain’s hand from Iruka, those scenes are indeed very alluring and potentially create many romantic fluff and domestic scenarios. Because of that, I don’t think this ship is a crack ship despite the little amount of canon basis compared to other Kakashi ships like KakaObi, KakaGai, and even KakaYama. Also since KakaObi, KakaGai, and KakaYama are fully developed only on part 2 (KakaGai got some development on part 1 too and KakaObi was hinted) making KakaIru has the advantage of an early start. It’s really not weird or surprising that KakaIru has the most contents among Kakashi ships.

But I am admittedly very, veeerrryyyyy picky when it comes to consuming KakaIru contents like fics or fancomics. Why? Because I just love Kakashi’s canon story and characterization so much while in my opinion some KakaIru contents overrate the impact Iruka has on Kakashi and vice versa to the point that it massively deviated from their canon version.

Unfortunately, it’s hard to be a picky person in the sea of KakaIru contents and find one from the million KakaIru content that was ‘clicked’ for me haha. Very often I stopped reading KakaIru fics halfway because I just feel disagree downright annoyed with Kakashi’s (also Iruka’s) characterization as the story goes. So sometimes I filtered out KakaIru tag when I am in the mood to read fics or fancomics. Sorry.

I mean like, Iruka and Kakashi are acquaintance at best, stranger at worst. And truthfully, there’s nothing wrong with that. Romantic story between two acquaintances and even strangers are valid especially when they have common interest, in KakaIru’s case namely Naruto. But, sometimes its shippers try to push Iruka and Kakashi to be each other’s “one and only” too hard, and that resulted in a complete erasure of other people that was already in Kakashi and Iruka’s lives. For example, I read a fic that portrays Kakashi didn’t have any real friend before he met Iruka. That truly left a bad taste on my mouth because Gai is the realest friend you can ever get and there’s nothing fake in Kakashi’s friendship with Asuma and Kurenai. Or the description that “Iruka is the only one who can touch and melt Kakashi’s cold heart”. Uh, canonly Obito holds that role and then kinda bit Team 7. In canon when Kakashi and Iruka met and talk on the first time, Kakashi is already a quite warm person (see Kakashi��s conversation with Inari). Also those who portray Iruka as the only one who can surprise Kakashi, say hello to Kakashi’s beloved Most Unpredictable Number One Hyperactive Knucklehead Ninja (PLATONICALLY).

Then in Iruka’s case, I know that a filler episode made Kakashi to be the one who convince Iruka to accept Naruto, but on Chapter 1, it’s wholly Iruka’s effort to sacrifice his life for Naruto and acknowledge his existence. To give the credit to Kakashi for the sake of romantic story is quite bit....unsettling for me. Also about Iruka’s grief for his parents. You can hate Hiruzen all you want, but the one who told Iruka that he was not alone after his parents’ death is Hiruzen, not and never Kakashi. Lastly, indeed Iruka was dramatically saved by Kakashi from Pain and maybe also in other fillers episodes, but he was still a trained ninja. Him tearfully praying “Kakashi-san (or usually “Kashi”, when the fic is already at the point of calling nickname), please save me!” every time he encounters danger is a huge disservice for him, don’t you think?

Not to mention KakaIru contents that completely strayed from canon like secret ANBU Iruka or Popular Sex God Kakashi...

So yeah, while I understand the appeal of this ship and think there’s nothing wrong the fact that it was the most popular Kakashi ship, I was a bit saddened by the fact that majority of those huge number of shipper contents have a very little care of canon characterization to the point that it feel for me like I don’t read a story about Kakashi and Iruka, but a story about two strangers that were named Kakashi and Iruka. I know that it can’t be helped for them to go hard on headcanon land since KakaIru has a very little canon basis but still...

(Or someone can pretty please recommend me KakaIru fics and/or doujins that have Kakashi and Iruka in character?)
