A collaborative event to celebrate Kacchako!
What is a Big Bang?
A Big Bang is an event that pairs artists and writers together to create content for a series, ship, or theme. While there are different types of Big Bangs, the 2024 Kacchako Big Bang is a moderated event intended to portray a romantic relationship between Uraraka Ochako and Bakugou Katsuki from Boku No Hero Academia by Horikoshi Kohei.This is intended to be a fun, collaborative event to celebrate our beloved Kacchako. There is no previous bang experience required, and the event is open to Kacchako enthusiasts—if you've ever thought about dipping your toes into creating for fandom, this is an amazing and safe space to learn!
