Vigilante Izuku Tag and All Might Bashing Data
Yesterday I wanted to read a vigilante fic, and when nothing in my bookmarks screamed reread I decided to dive into the tag. While scrolling I found what I think is an interesting trend with one tag in particular. The Yagi Toshinori | All Might Bashing tag that is.
So lets jump right into it.
There are currently 4255 fics on ao3 that are tagged as Vigilante Midoriya Izuku, 1787 of that is also tagged as Quirkless Midoriya Izuku. 207 of those two tags are also tagged with Yagi Toshinori | All Might Bashing. There are 368 fics in total tagged with Yagi Toshinori | All Might Bashing inside the Vigilante Midoriya Izuku tag. In the entirety of BNHA works there are 1867 fics tagged as Yagi Toshinori | All Might Bashing, which means 19% of Yagi Toshinori | All Might Bashing exist within the Vigilante Midoriya Izuku tag and 10% of the Vigilante Midoirya Izuku tag contains Yagi Toshinori | All Might Bashing.
I wanted to see what this looked like when you filter to look for fics and figure out the rate in which a fic with the Yagi Toshinori | All Might Bashing tag is going to pop up during your search if you don’t filter it out (I usually do, mainly because bashing borderlines oocness and its not my preference to read). Within the top five pages sorted by hits, then bookmarks, comments, update date and then by kudos this is what I found.
Under just the Vigilante Midoriya Izuku tag within the first five pages the amount of fics that contain the Yagi Toshinori | All Might Bashing are as follows
Hits- 11
Bookmarks - 9
Comments- 12
Date Updated- 12
Kudos -13
Then under Vigilante Midoriya Izuku and Quirkless Midoriya Izuku tag within the first five pages the amount of fics that contain the Yagi Toshinori | All Might Bashing are as follows
Hits- 17

So the likelihood you are going to get fics with bashing within the first five pages of whatever type of search you do is fairly strong for either version of the search.
33% of Yagi Toshinori | All Might Bashing coincides with just the Quirkless Midoriya Izuku tag so it isn’t a true surprise that you will see more during a brief search of the first five pages if you are also looking for vigilante fics.
In the entirety of the Vigilante Midoriya Izuku tag Yagi Toshinori | All Might is tagged as a character in 1611 of the 4255. Of that 1611 209 are tagged also as Yagi Toshinori | All Might Bashing, so 12% of the fics he’s tagged in as a character include bashing. However that still leaves 156 fics where he’s not a tagged character but Yagi Toshinori | All Might Bashing is tagged. Which I found interesting.
0.8% of the entire BNHA archive contains Yagi Toshinori | All Might Bashing as a tag, and 1.7% of the entire archive contains Vigilante Midoriya Izuku.
For a comparison, there are 4637 fics in the entire BNHA archive that are tagged as Parental Yagi Toshinori | All Might which is about 1.8%. 5.05% of that tag can also be found with the Vigilante Midoriya Izuku tag which is still less than the amount of fics that contain the Yagi Toshinori | All Might Bashing tag under the same tag.
In a sorted by *blank* search of the first five pages this looks like
Hits-12

With the exception of sorted by hits the Parental Yagi Toshinori | All Might tag is less common within the Vigilante Midoriya Izuku tag. So you are more likely going to see the Yagi Toshinori | All Might Bashing tag over the Parental Yagi Toshinori | All Might tag in the average search.
All of this is to say I find it really interesting where tropes crossover.
I don’t know if anyone else will find this interesting but I certainly did and it felt weird to not share after compiling the data.
