Oh God... This is... so embarrassing, haha. Basically, I discovered through a... well... a Bakudeku doujin (no, I wasn't actively looking for doujins; it was simply in my Youtube suggestions bar, and I had no idea it was sexual in nature when I clicked on it because I wasn't familiar with DJs at the time). All I knew about the show was that a boy named "Deku" and some boy with spiky hair liked each other or something. I heard my friends at school talking about it, and they told me that I should watch it. When I finally saw that the first episode of the English dub was airing on Adult Swim, I went ahead and watched it, and I fell in love (not romantically, lol) with Deku immediately because of how friggin' adorable he was. And after watching the whole series (so far as the fourth season isn't out yet), Deku started as and still is my favorite character. I started the show shipping Bakudeku because I assumed there must be some chemistry between them for someone to be making doujins of them. After seeing how Kacchan treated Deku in the first episode, I stopped shipping it. But for some reason, as I watched more episodes, I gradually came to ship them over time to the point where I was shippin' it like FedEx by the mid first season. I'm not sure how it happened, but Bakudeku became my favorite ship of all time, no joke. I'm really glad that BNHA happened to be airing on Adult Swim at the time that it did because I may not have gotten around to watching it if I didn't watch it then.
