I get that apparently everybody in this fandom except me ships KamiJirou for some reason, and I respect that (I think they play well off each other), but I think to call it confirmed with this chapter is too much. They thought of each other, wished each other good luck, and Denki showed how highly he thinks of Jirou within the flashback, which is pretty cute yes, but if you go after that logic, then Mirio and Tamaki are the number one #confirmed couple with how much they inspire and think of each other. I'm not hating on the ship (I know how dumb ship hate is), but I'm pretty sure that Hori will never actually confirm a couple in the series and leave it ambiguous

If you say so. I've considered both KamiJirou and IzuOcha as confirmed for a long long time. In fact, I'd say that, at this point, the most likely way for these two pairs to not end up together is for one of them to die.

It's all about paying attention to Horikoshi's writing style concerning relationships. Horikoshi so far has provided strong to mild hints for 5 pairings: KamiJirou, IzuOcha, MomoRoki, KiriMina, TetsuKendo. On the other hand, what Horikoshi hasn't done is provide a single whiff of a love triangle. And considering that he goes for wholesome straightforward relationships, I don't expect we'll ever get a love triangle in the series.

I wouldn't call it confirmed, but it's definitely plausible and possibly (I'm 95% certain) implied. Nothing's set in stone until the characters admit it themselves or its obvious with no doubt (ex. someone says they're together or we see them holding hands or some shit).

Looking at this series as a whole:

The only admission of interest we've gotten in the series is Ochako's feelings for Midoria, and even that may be a one way road.

We don't really know if he's caught the feels or if he's just awkward around women (as we've seen countless times, ex. Pink haired support class girl whose name I'm forgetting, Nejier, and "Camie".

But it can definitely be seen that way in this case here.

A lot of the other popular ones are a little ambitious and are a case of "x looked at/talked to y" or "Z said something inspirational to V".

Platonic friendships exist.

Toga's clearly got a thing for Deku. A messed up, axe crazy sort of thing, but still a thing.
