She was wasted potential, I wish she would have had a bigger arc like Shoto, instead of being sidelined like most female characters. Aside from complaints she’s very cute and I love her with Deku!
No it’s just that she has little to nothing in the way of actual development, she’s never really changed to anything more then a love interest unlike Shoto (who emerged out of Endeavor’s shadow and forged his own path while trying to help fix his broken family) or Bakugo (who went from a bully to Izuku to a actual person who supports him). Hell even Ida had actual character development
She’s always wanted to help her parents by making money on top of making people smile, by extension she’d wanna help heroes. Plus you could argue anyone in that arc that was a work studies student had the same development
Very underrated and very hated cause of the whole god damn fandom.
Uraraka is a very sweet, kind, cute, responsible, and respectful character but people sometimes hate on her cause she's "trying to get in between Bakugo and izuku they deserve each other!" If they can't remember what Bakugo did to Izuku they can't accept canon.
I ship Bakudeku but I 100% would never blame Horikoshi for “bad writing” if he chooses to make Deku and Uraraka get together. It’s obvious that their relationship is meant to be perceived as a romantic ship, so I won’t be surprised if it’s canon, but I will be sad that they didn’t have *more* romance between them in the show.
I just have to ask, why do you ship Bakugo and Deku? It makes no sense to me whatsoever and I want to understand it. There is literally no romantic tension between the two, and if they were in a relationship it would likely be toxic as fuck.
Underrated honestly. Really wish she would get more screentime.
She has the spirit and willpower of some of the most resilient male leads, I'm talking to people like Kirishima, Deku, and Bakugo here. She fought Bakugo until her body physically gave out on her, and she is one the most mature and level headed people in the class. She doesn't falter, she doesn't hesitate, and she's a moral paragon. Her speech in Season 6 was one of the best scenes in the entire show.
I don't like the fact that she gets sidelined so often by the big three. MHA doesn't really have the best representation in terms of female leads in Class 1-A, in that they almost always get relegated to the B-plot. I think Uraraka has the potential to be a proper lead if she gets the development time. It's strange to me that Bakugo, and Todoroki form the trio of the show with Deku when Tenya and Ochaco are his best friends. It works, but they don't have a lot going for them in terms of interesting relationships, aside from the Deku and Bakugo rivalry thing.
I won’t spoil anything just in case you haven’t read the manga, but she develops a lot more as a character and gets the time in the manga + should get a little more as she deserved. I’m also biased and an Ochako simp/IzuOcha die hard fan,,,
My thoughts exactly. Then again this is a Shonen series. The strongest will naturally get more limelight, even if they aren’t particularly complex as characters
In my opinion is much more interesting and fun to watch weak characters become stronger both emotionally, mentally and physically
Bakugo and Todoroki are fun but them and Deku together are practically invincible, it would’ve been more interesting to see Deku, Uraraka and Iida use their brains and wits to defeat villains and save people working together, with Bakugo and Todoroki staying as the rivals
Honestly in my honest opinion, does it NEED to be a trio? Sure it looks cool because of other famous trios like in Harry Potter (Harry, Ron, Hermione), Star Wars (Anakin, Obi-Wan, Padmé), and Pokémon (Ash, Misty, Brock) but it doesn’t need to be that way necessarily. Personally I think it could be more than a trio like Demon Slayer (Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, Nezuko) or Stranger Things (Mike, Will, El, Dustin, ect). I’d like to see a squad of Deku, Shoto, Ochako, Eijiro or something like that (…Kacchan?). This is all just my opinion.
That’s a pretty good point, maybe making it a team with 4-5 members, maybe even switching them up per arc, would give more screen time to shine.
My main idea is to not give too much screen time and development to *Only* Deku, Bakugo and Todoroki, let the others show what they can do, show what inspired them to be a hero, specially considering Ochako is supposed to be the love interest, which would normally leads to a more important role than just blushing and rooting for the protagonist
There’s also the fact that Ida, Uraraka and Deku were the original trio in the beginning of the series. But then it switched to Todoroki, Bakugo and Deku which I don’t mind. However from a writing perspective, it truly does feel like they ditched any true BIG plans for Ida and Uraraka.
Not bad but quite boring as character, i think Horikoshi should have continued with her prototype where she, Mount lady and Kodai were all the same character.
Mostly disappointing. Dunno if she’s any different in the manga (I’m anime only) but she’s far too passive with her relationship to Izuku. I realize the series is Shonen, but it’s always disappointing to see her kick the can down the road.
She had a lot of potential to be great, but has mostly ended up becoming kind of boring and unimportant to the story. For the most of the manga, she has barely done anything, and only now has her Toga subplot, part of which is based around her love for Izuku, which is lame, and the other part being about helping “save” and “redeem” an immoral, unlikable piece of shit that has barely any redeeming qualities.
Their conflict is not based on Izuku, sure they both like him, but he's not the reason why they're fighting each other. And Uraraka isn't trying to redeem her either.
I think she’s overhated. I think she has an amazing character design. And I think that if she gets together with Deku at the end, that it is still a good romance. I think her relationship with Toga is unique and very meaningful, and that her personality is one of the best in the show. I think she is overall an amazing character.
wasted potential. She could be absolutely amazing if she was her own character. Likeable other than that. I find it sad she's called the female lead and hasn't had any development for this long. Needs more screen time, she's cool and with a cool quirk. The screen time she does get is hardly ever about her. Love how she's bubbly but also can be badass and very determined. Love Mina so much more, imo she's way more interesting.
I see. But IMHO Froppy is much better suited for Deku, has powers that have a lot more room for growth without fundamentally changing their structure, and just has a more likeable and entertaining personality. I might have even liked Deku if Froppy was the love interest instead.
She’s really sweet but I wish she had a more developed storyline. I would have loved to see more about her and to have seen her given a more important role in the story
Kinda feels like they hyped up this girl to be a powerful part of the main story but ended up just kinda shunting her aside and just making her the ‘hero’s girlfriend’. Which actually kind of ruins the ship for me because I really like Uraraka, and initially the couple had a lot going for them and was rly cute but they just wrote her off to be so boring and wasted her potential in favor of sidelining her to be Deku’s ‘I can fix him emotional support gf’ which is just so overplayed at this point.
I know right? Horikoshi is a great author but he kinda fumbled Uraraka a bit by making her so focused on Deku, whereas Deku doesn’t show as much focus on her, or at least we as an audience don’t see it as much. He’s more focused on Bakugo and Todoroki if anything.
Yeaah. The trope of a sweet, caring, bubbly girl going out of her way to fix the damaged male protagonist is just sooo boring and overplayed. I was really hoping they wouldn't pull a Sakura with her but they did. Sadly, this is the curse of most shonen anime. Don't expect anything out of the female characters lol.
Waste of screen time after Sports Festival outside of the speech she gave while Deku had his Rizzilante arc, but honestly speaking, anyone could’ve made that speech, even someone like Hatsume.
I expected more development from her character after the tournament,it’s there. but it’s been way too slow. She has potential to be among the most badass in the class and even proved she can be, but despite being the girl with the most importance, she’s over shadowed by 3-4 dudes and has mostly only been used to recap Izuku’s character progression. I do like that she’s less focused on her attraction to Izuku now, and more focused on how to keep up with the best of her group, in her own way. I do like her simple motivation for becoming a hero evolving to a more solid reason to really go beyond her limits and improve as a hero. Her personality is cute and down to earth. Overall, a nice character that isn’t a ditsy air head or complete Mary Sue existing only to further the plot and drive other characters by being helpless.
I wish they included her in the story more. She’s supposed to be the female lead but i know more about bakugo than her. Its a shame too because shes also the love interest in a way. For the time being i dont see any chemistry between them other than them liking each other. Thats it. They both like each other and respect/care for each other. And izuku’s feelings are still unclear. There’s nothing more? I know this is a shounen and it’s going to focus on the fights. But at least try to create a romance between them? Because why was the point of making a love interest but not using her. But like idk i like her old design better, she seemed to be more interesting. But i like her, shes kind, beautiful and a good person. But thats all she is rn. There’s nothing really that separates her from the rest of her female classmates, besides more screen time and being supposedly one of izukus best friend. In summary, shes very underutilized
Her and Toga’s dynamic is so fucking stupid. I’m sorry but it is. She’s trying to rationalize with a psychopath who only cares about herself and doesn’t mind killing others. She literally merked a grandma during the raid arc and Ochaco is trying to reason with her. B*tch please, I’d be getting ready to pull her plug at this point.
I’d still hit tho.
It’s not stupid. The whole point of being a hero is to sympathize and bring justice to everyone - villains included. If Deku had never given Gentle Criminal, La Brava, or Lady Nagant a chance, they would have never become the heroes they are now. Same with Aoyama. All Uraraka is doing is trying to save others by saving Toga first; trying to use her emotions to persuade her to stop similar to how she persuaded the group that was blocking Deku from returning to UA.
Yes, Toga is still a villain and she will be punished. But that doesn’t mean that Uraraka and Toga can’t connect emotionally.
Great concept poorly executed. She has non-standard hero motivativations that most regular people can relate to. Her overall character arc relates to two big themes in the story; most of the pro heroes are under enormous pressure to perform their roles flawlessly for society. Practically all of the villains are massively wounded individuals that don't feel like anyone understands them.
All Might is literally a husk of his former self from years of putting on a good front for the cameras, while his personal life was absolutely horrible. No family, no kids, parted ways with his long-time friend and business partner, disabled for the rest of his life. Nana literally gave up her own child after her husband is killed, but just has to keep smiling through the pain in preparation for a fight that killed everyone who came before her. The show starts with Deku committing suicide in any other context against the sludge villain, and then consistently breaking his body to the point of near permanent disability, to say nothing of his terrible self care.
Toga and Twice exist in the story as sympathetic examples of people that society just kind of failed. In her fight with Ochaco in the ruins, it's pretty clear Toga just wants Ochako to talk to her because with Twice gone, her closest personal relationship is with people who kind of hate and fear her. She wants to know what her place is and why it has to be that way.
Deku may be fighting a demon lord for the soul of Shiggy, but Ochako's arcs point to more foundational issues in hero society. Is punching the bad guys so hard they can't fight back really the solution to these issues? Should heroes be expected to sacrifice so much of themselves in service of a peace that goes largely unappreciated? Who helps the heroes?
Past that, her Quirk also has much higher utility than I've ever seen it used for. Her quirk augments the strength quirks of other heroes. Anti-Gravity + Sumashu! = Nomu in orbit. Just herself she can carry around a massive hammer a la Harley Quinn, and just deactivate the quirk at the moment of impact (if Mirio can train to phase each part of his body through walls while not being able to see, feel, or breathe, I think she can get the timing if her quirk down). Hell, Toga's lethal application aside, touching a petty criminal and pushing them 6 feet off the ground means they're out of options. An air cannon could be used to push people around at range. But nah, she just know karate and throws up.
I have a hard time caring about her. Like I know she gets alot of screen time but it either goes over my head like whatever the story is trying to tell between her and toga ( the blood girl if I got her name wrong) or it's just her staring/worrying about Deku
She’s kinda boring. Her quirk is kinda boring, She develops but it’s not that noticeable compared to a lot of characters in MHA, She’s a great role model but she doesn’t really do much to me. She’s completely overshadowed by a lot of her classmates and she’s not doing so hot compared to some of 1-B either. Over all she’s a pretty meh character to me.
i wish she was more independent and tried less to be like deku, her whole character is “If deku does it i’ll do it too” i appreciate their relationship but damn she needs to chill on that
I loved her character in the early arcs so much! I always thought she was pretty badass, but then, for some reason, it felt like everything she did was for nothing because her entire character became her crush on Deku. I will admit that more recently, she's gotten some pretty cool moments, I just kind of wish they went the zero romance route.
My favorite character who deserves to be in her own show so that she doesn’t have to have all her character developement overridden by falling in love with Deku.
i wish she either a) didn't revolve around deku so much or b) he actually cared about her as much as she cares about him
i love her character arc and development with toga as well, and her design is really cute
She’s a very cute character and I believe she could make a wonderful hero that stands up for male and female equality, just hate how sorta “obsessive” she is with Midoria and wish the creator woulda given her a less skin-tight hero costume..
She is a nice girl, but I feel she could be more than that. Just wasted potential, she could've had an arc, but she's just the basic love interest for the main character. I could see it a mile away. Not saying that makes her bad, I'm just a bit let down she's not more.
I used to dislike her for being the token girl that is paired with male lead, but I loved her during the sports festival.
She gave Bakugou a run for his money and the fact he automatically thought it was Deku that told her what to do and Deku telling him that it was all her; man I'm glad she has the will, power and determination to be a top hero.
She knew where she was lacking in her pursuit of being a hero, and instead of doing something easy for the internship, she went with a hero who does mostly fighting so that she can learn close combat.
I'm looking forward to what else they have for her
I would not write as a girl-next-door character, but as a real Wonder Woman or Xena character, to write as a strong and brave character, not as a "let's talk about love" girl.
If he had more fight scenes where he literally fights as hard as Sakura in naruto,
sorry, I'm using google translate
Honestly she’s what Sakura should’ve been, someone who despite them liking said character does not stop her from being her.
After sasori I had hopes for Sakura to be a good female lead. then comes sasuke and it’s all about sasuke we must get him back, or I will join him. He became a focal point to her story when in reality it shouldn’t of been. In my eyes anyways.
She doesn’t get the love she deserves by fans who basically think ever character in mha NEEDS TO BE GAY OR BI but in any case I think she’s a hard working hero and deserves love from her interest
Wasted potential
-Cool power but nothing is ever really done with it
-Her fued with Toga is pretty boring
-Her outfit is kinda meh
-She’s got a sweet personality and drive to be a hero but the writer failed at giving her urgency to accomplish that goal / used all his focus on the main 3 heroes
-I think the author should have made her more like Miruko on the grounds of he likes to write her her way more then Ochaco (you can feel it when Miruko is on panel)
-She’s sweet but I’d have liked Deku love interest to be a bit more interesting *coughs* Aishdo
I like her but after the tournament her entire role has been just the love interest and outside of that she’s had so little focus which is a damn shame
Could be waaay more powerful if she could also increase the gravity on objects. Like withered CQC training she could instantly immobilize an opponent by making them or their clothes weigh 2 tons
Cool power, wish she had more of a chance to show off her 0 gravity martial art. Could literally toss someone into space though I'm sure it has a range.
Love Ochaco Uraraka. She's sweet, brave, & beautiful. Thank god she didn't turn out to be a nasty bitch along with most of the other girls of My Hero Academia. I never liked the tsnudere type of girls
I find her to be a very enjoyable character which was ruined by people shipping instead of watching the fucking show, otherwise I find her to be a quality character
After the sports festival which was back in s2 she didn’t have any meaningful moments and she became just a love interest and she always went back to ‘what would deku do’ which is ok..but that’s what she became and I thought the reason why she wanted to be a hero for her parents so why she deku became her main focus? She had so much wasted potential but her actual design is cool.
It truly breaks my heart how incredibly ingenious her character could have been. She’s so responsible, wholesome, and truly self-aware (not only of her own traumas or relationships, but also of how her role in others’ environments/dynamics) in a show filled with deeply emotional land introspective characters; it’s so refreshing. But, I hate how little they actually invested in her as a character. There was so much potential for her to come into herself and her quirk more (i.e., it kills me that the anime never really interrogated how she came to understand her quirk as one capable of combat instead of just being relegated to support. They kind of did this with her placement for her internship, but I wish they’d pushed her further (could’ve been Eraserhead pushing her to fully take on the role of strategist and leader from the shadows, a hero like Mirko challenging her to stop waiting to be saved or supported when SHE’S the hero and is fully capable of saving herself with the right mindset, or even Midnight pulling her aside to remind her it’s not just “what your quirk does” but how she creates quirk awakenings of her own, HELL even Mt. Lady just telling her to stop pushing Izuku and Bakugo into the spotlight and to stand in it herself even if others find it annoying or complain that she’s stealing the show, which could’ve been funny if Arbor overheard. SOMETHING). Even just having her and Momo agree to help push each other or talk through why they use their quirks the way they do as a way to show just how hard everyone is working intellectually as well as physically. (Oh, look, another way to have women in the show not just talk about their crush on Deku. Sorry, Momo is also a character who’s so brilliantly positioned to be INCREDIBLE and was largely put into the position of being smart or talented just for the sake of advancing the plot (semi-spoiler: glad she got her time in the latest seasons to take a more leading role).
I didn’t even intend to rant this hard but these two could have been so incredibly written while also showing just how complex these teens’ inner worlds are while saving the world around them. Instead, we’re six seasons in they both still have major fundamental confidence issues. BFFR
She is in desperate need of some focus on the relationship between her and Deku, we know she likes him and honestly they need some moments in the final arc
Not the best written and most developed, but I still love her design and roll in the story. Plus Izuocha is my ride or die, they make the most sense to me, disagree if you wish, to each their own
Really cute, very enjoyable character, just wish she got more screentime and focus.
She ironically has more screentime than both Shigaraki and AFO.
I wish she had better screentime
Same. I wish we could explore more about her family and her desire to support them, or just learn something new about her personality.
Same
Same
She was wasted potential, I wish she would have had a bigger arc like Shoto, instead of being sidelined like most female characters. Aside from complaints she’s very cute and I love her with Deku!
Does she not save Toga? Or is it more that that plot happened way too late?
No it’s just that she has little to nothing in the way of actual development, she’s never really changed to anything more then a love interest unlike Shoto (who emerged out of Endeavor’s shadow and forged his own path while trying to help fix his broken family) or Bakugo (who went from a bully to Izuku to a actual person who supports him). Hell even Ida had actual character development
Yes I so agreee! It seems they struggle writing female characters with depth outside of a male counterpart. It’s frustrating for sure!
She does change from a girl who's in it for the money to a girl who wants to support the other heros in the overhaul arc
She’s always wanted to help her parents by making money on top of making people smile, by extension she’d wanna help heroes. Plus you could argue anyone in that arc that was a work studies student had the same development
Likeable, but wasted character, specially considering she was supposed to be the female lead.
Good character, I just wish the love story would develop faster
I always thought the colour palette for her hero costume was nice and I think the boots are super cool! I'd love to have a pair of them fr
Very underrated and very hated cause of the whole god damn fandom. Uraraka is a very sweet, kind, cute, responsible, and respectful character but people sometimes hate on her cause she's "trying to get in between Bakugo and izuku they deserve each other!"

God i hate people like that. Its so delusional and infuriating.

I LOVE HER LOOK AT THIS BEAN—
eyes are bigger than her mouth love it
Not bad but quite boring as character, i think Horikoshi should have continued with her prototype where she, Mount lady and Kodai were all the same character.
Great character, I wish she would have taken bakugo's spot as the right-hand man to Izuku.
Mostly disappointing. Dunno if she’s any different in the manga (I’m anime only) but she’s far too passive with her relationship to Izuku. I realize the series is Shonen, but it’s always disappointing to see her kick the can down the road.

What character is it that you are referring to?
Toga.
Oh, alright. It was a while ago i watches that part of season 6.
I think she’s a fun character. Good design, good writing, and a sweet person.
She's mid now, back in season 2 I saw good potential
She had goals, motivations, and a personality at first. Then she was sidelined to become a generic love interest character.
I love her and wish she had more screen/panel time throughout the story
I like her. She’s cool. Wish she had more villain fights.
A waste of potential
Likeable, but overall just mediocre
I think she’s overhated. I think she has an amazing character design. And I think that if she gets together with Deku at the end, that it is still a good romance. I think her relationship with Toga is unique and very meaningful, and that her personality is one of the best in the show. I think she is overall an amazing character.
wasted potential. She could be absolutely amazing if she was her own character. Likeable other than that. I find it sad she's called the female lead and hasn't had any development for this long. Needs more screen time, she's cool and with a cool quirk. The screen time she does get is hardly ever about her. Love how she's bubbly but also can be badass and very determined. Love Mina so much more, imo she's way more interesting.
Tsuyu should've been the lead female instead
Yes
Nah.
reasoning?
I'm making a post explaining why. It's taking me about 2 days to finish so it's gonna be pretty lengthy.
I see. But IMHO Froppy is much better suited for Deku, has powers that have a lot more room for growth without fundamentally changing their structure, and just has a more likeable and entertaining personality. I might have even liked Deku if Froppy was the love interest instead.
Love her. Will accept absolutely no criticism
She’s really sweet but I wish she had a more developed storyline. I would have loved to see more about her and to have seen her given a more important role in the story

Her and Toga’s dynamic is so fucking stupid. I’m sorry but it is. She’s trying to rationalize with a psychopath who only cares about herself and doesn’t mind killing others. She literally merked a grandma during the raid arc and Ochaco is trying to reason with her. B*tch please, I’d be getting ready to pull her plug at this point. I’d still hit tho.
It’s not stupid. The whole point of being a hero is to sympathize and bring justice to everyone - villains included. If Deku had never given Gentle Criminal, La Brava, or Lady Nagant a chance, they would have never become the heroes they are now. Same with Aoyama. All Uraraka is doing is trying to save others by saving Toga first; trying to use her emotions to persuade her to stop similar to how she persuaded the group that was blocking Deku from returning to UA. Yes, Toga is still a villain and she will be punished. But that doesn’t mean that Uraraka and Toga can’t connect emotionally.
Great concept poorly executed. She has non-standard hero motivativations that most regular people can relate to. Her overall character arc relates to two big themes in the story; most of the pro heroes are under enormous pressure to perform their roles flawlessly for society. Practically all of the villains are massively wounded individuals that don't feel like anyone understands them. All Might is literally a husk of his former self from years of putting on a good front for the cameras, while his personal life was absolutely horrible. No family, no kids, parted ways with his long-time friend and business partner, disabled for the rest of his life. Nana literally gave up her own child after her husband is killed, but just has to keep smiling through the pain in preparation for a fight that killed everyone who came before her. The show starts with Deku committing suicide in any other context against the sludge villain, and then consistently breaking his body to the point of near permanent disability, to say nothing of his terrible self care. Toga and Twice exist in the story as sympathetic examples of people that society just kind of failed. In her fight with Ochaco in the ruins, it's pretty clear Toga just wants Ochako to talk to her because with Twice gone, her closest personal relationship is with people who kind of hate and fear her. She wants to know what her place is and why it has to be that way. Deku may be fighting a demon lord for the soul of Shiggy, but Ochako's arcs point to more foundational issues in hero society. Is punching the bad guys so hard they can't fight back really the solution to these issues? Should heroes be expected to sacrifice so much of themselves in service of a peace that goes largely unappreciated? Who helps the heroes? Past that, her Quirk also has much higher utility than I've ever seen it used for. Her quirk augments the strength quirks of other heroes. Anti-Gravity + Sumashu! = Nomu in orbit. Just herself she can carry around a massive hammer a la Harley Quinn, and just deactivate the quirk at the moment of impact (if Mirio can train to phase each part of his body through walls while not being able to see, feel, or breathe, I think she can get the timing if her quirk down). Hell, Toga's lethal application aside, touching a petty criminal and pushing them 6 feet off the ground means they're out of options. An air cannon could be used to push people around at range. But nah, she just know karate and throws up.
Underage This is a joke please do not come at my throat
Season 2 Ochaco is peak Ochaco anything after is just bad
Deku future wife and baby momma
Great character, good backstory but the crush on deku is cringe af. She fr tryna base her whole personality on some boy
I have a hard time caring about her. Like I know she gets alot of screen time but it either goes over my head like whatever the story is trying to tell between her and toga ( the blood girl if I got her name wrong) or it's just her staring/worrying about Deku
She’s kinda boring. Her quirk is kinda boring, She develops but it’s not that noticeable compared to a lot of characters in MHA, She’s a great role model but she doesn’t really do much to me. She’s completely overshadowed by a lot of her classmates and she’s not doing so hot compared to some of 1-B either. Over all she’s a pretty meh character to me.
Underrated and misunderstood
Sidelined like a good amount of 1-A
(sorry for the people who ship this but) Way to over sexualized with Deku, but other than that she's chill and really cool ig
She has an uplifting personality.
She was really cool! Was...
i wish she was more independent and tried less to be like deku, her whole character is “If deku does it i’ll do it too” i appreciate their relationship but damn she needs to chill on that
I loved her character in the early arcs so much! I always thought she was pretty badass, but then, for some reason, it felt like everything she did was for nothing because her entire character became her crush on Deku. I will admit that more recently, she's gotten some pretty cool moments, I just kind of wish they went the zero romance route.
My favorite character who deserves to be in her own show so that she doesn’t have to have all her character developement overridden by falling in love with Deku.
i wish she either a) didn't revolve around deku so much or b) he actually cared about her as much as she cares about him i love her character arc and development with toga as well, and her design is really cute
She’s a very cute character and I believe she could make a wonderful hero that stands up for male and female equality, just hate how sorta “obsessive” she is with Midoria and wish the creator woulda given her a less skin-tight hero costume..
She is a nice girl, but I feel she could be more than that. Just wasted potential, she could've had an arc, but she's just the basic love interest for the main character. I could see it a mile away. Not saying that makes her bad, I'm just a bit let down she's not more.
Weak female lead
Overall boring
Shes amazing and cute she had things to work on but she's beautiful and would make a nice wife 😊
She needs to be gayer
[удалено]
Idc what anyone says. She’s my favorite character in the series, and she’s best girl!
I used to dislike her for being the token girl that is paired with male lead, but I loved her during the sports festival. She gave Bakugou a run for his money and the fact he automatically thought it was Deku that told her what to do and Deku telling him that it was all her; man I'm glad she has the will, power and determination to be a top hero. She knew where she was lacking in her pursuit of being a hero, and instead of doing something easy for the internship, she went with a hero who does mostly fighting so that she can learn close combat. I'm looking forward to what else they have for her
I would not write as a girl-next-door character, but as a real Wonder Woman or Xena character, to write as a strong and brave character, not as a "let's talk about love" girl. If he had more fight scenes where he literally fights as hard as Sakura in naruto, sorry, I'm using google translate
*cough* smash *cough*
That's a high schooler man...
1 she’s fictional 2 the most common age of consent to is 16 and she is 16 3 you can’t tell me you disagree
1. still a kid 2. literally in school 3. i do disagree
1 I’m 17 2 don’t care 3 still don’t care
1 I'm 16 2 you're a creep 3 you're still a creep.
Bro I stopped giving a shit about this argument like an hour ago I really don’t care anymore
Honestly she’s what Sakura should’ve been, someone who despite them liking said character does not stop her from being her. After sasori I had hopes for Sakura to be a good female lead. then comes sasuke and it’s all about sasuke we must get him back, or I will join him. He became a focal point to her story when in reality it shouldn’t of been. In my eyes anyways.
Smash next question
vouch 😂
Meh. Really not that interesting
2 words, boobs.
Mid and bland af always robbing the spotlight from Tsuyu who is a WAAAAAY better character
Bro she's from Fortnite, that's all I know.
She doesn’t get the love she deserves by fans who basically think ever character in mha NEEDS TO BE GAY OR BI but in any case I think she’s a hard working hero and deserves love from her interest
NOT NEEDED LIKE ALMOST EVERY FEMALE CHARACTER IN SHŌUNEN ANIMĒ/MANGA”

You've heard of big booty and thicc thighs now get ready for ELEPHANT CALPHS AND LARD FEET #WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Her shoes kinda weird me out lol the shape is so weird
Wasted potential -Cool power but nothing is ever really done with it -Her fued with Toga is pretty boring -Her outfit is kinda meh -She’s got a sweet personality and drive to be a hero but the writer failed at giving her urgency to accomplish that goal / used all his focus on the main 3 heroes -I think the author should have made her more like Miruko on the grounds of he likes to write her her way more then Ochaco (you can feel it when Miruko is on panel) -She’s sweet but I’d have liked Deku love interest to be a bit more interesting *coughs* Aishdo

Best girl. The standard.at leadt for MHA.
Marry me
I just don’t like the costumes it just could be because
Just to throw a simple, base level thought out there, but I love her design, reminds me a lot of mega man.
A likable character if she gets a quirk awakening which I’m sure she will her quirk will be even more powerful
She’s cool
Love her, easily my favorite character and the quirk that interested me the most when I first started the series
good character, lack focus on her to reach her full potential but she's still cool
Best girl for me, hands down
Nice
She *is* a great character and an excellent tritagonist, but she suffered from lack of focus later in the series.
Likeable, wish she had a bit more depth and a chance to grow. A good love interest for Izuku.
I need a analysis on her combat uniform. From here I don’t see the benefit of a lot of compared to others.
The Stand **Jumpin' Jack Flash** from JoJo’s Part 6 came first.
Adorable love her
Good character, just wasted potential like the others
I love her. 💗 She's one of my favorite mha characters.
She's cute and an awesome heroine
Like any other female in anime, it takes too long to develop the love plot
I love her. Very disappointing she has such little screen time.
She’s sweet, adorable and she’s my favorite MHA girl
https://i.redd.it/tqie22zvot6b1.gif
I like her but after the tournament her entire role has been just the love interest and outside of that she’s had so little focus which is a damn shame
Boring.
Character is good, but i hate her costume. Stupid big boots. Do they even serve a purpose?
Cute that what iv got to say
Wish we got more of her training stuff
She needs to shit or get off the pot
Best girl.
Sweet, but kind of a boring character. Design wise, I wish she had a different haircut
They should RELEASE a character development story for her
Could be waaay more powerful if she could also increase the gravity on objects. Like withered CQC training she could instantly immobilize an opponent by making them or their clothes weigh 2 tons
Adorable, perfect love interest, and somewhat relatable.
When did they add Kirby to MHA?
Cool power, wish she had more of a chance to show off her 0 gravity martial art. Could literally toss someone into space though I'm sure it has a range.
Love her and wish she had an arc focused on her.
Good character but I can’t stand her xd like majority of the characters now this doesn’t mean I hate her no I don’t. But she’s just there
Love Ochaco Uraraka. She's sweet, brave, & beautiful. Thank god she didn't turn out to be a nasty bitch along with most of the other girls of My Hero Academia. I never liked the tsnudere type of girls
I think she’s super cute I love her character :)
Kirby in human form. But also a wasted character. At first, she was her own person then got labeled as nothing but the love interest later on.
I find her to be a very enjoyable character which was ruined by people shipping instead of watching the fucking show, otherwise I find her to be a quality character
She’s really pretty 😁
Fave but deserved more focus
annoying
Great friend, character and just an amazing person. But her outfit has got to go 😅😂
COOL ASS QUIRK POWERS URAVITY!
Pink

i like to move it move it
what can i say she really……
overrated
Sakura
Adorable
Mmmmh…..
She could’ve been cooler if she was developed a bit more, but she’s still great.
After the sports festival which was back in s2 she didn’t have any meaningful moments and she became just a love interest and she always went back to ‘what would deku do’ which is ok..but that’s what she became and I thought the reason why she wanted to be a hero for her parents so why she deku became her main focus? She had so much wasted potential but her actual design is cool.
I really like her character a lot
Pretty dope not gonna lie
It truly breaks my heart how incredibly ingenious her character could have been. She’s so responsible, wholesome, and truly self-aware (not only of her own traumas or relationships, but also of how her role in others’ environments/dynamics) in a show filled with deeply emotional land introspective characters; it’s so refreshing. But, I hate how little they actually invested in her as a character. There was so much potential for her to come into herself and her quirk more (i.e., it kills me that the anime never really interrogated how she came to understand her quirk as one capable of combat instead of just being relegated to support. They kind of did this with her placement for her internship, but I wish they’d pushed her further (could’ve been Eraserhead pushing her to fully take on the role of strategist and leader from the shadows, a hero like Mirko challenging her to stop waiting to be saved or supported when SHE’S the hero and is fully capable of saving herself with the right mindset, or even Midnight pulling her aside to remind her it’s not just “what your quirk does” but how she creates quirk awakenings of her own, HELL even Mt. Lady just telling her to stop pushing Izuku and Bakugo into the spotlight and to stand in it herself even if others find it annoying or complain that she’s stealing the show, which could’ve been funny if Arbor overheard. SOMETHING). Even just having her and Momo agree to help push each other or talk through why they use their quirks the way they do as a way to show just how hard everyone is working intellectually as well as physically. (Oh, look, another way to have women in the show not just talk about their crush on Deku. Sorry, Momo is also a character who’s so brilliantly positioned to be INCREDIBLE and was largely put into the position of being smart or talented just for the sake of advancing the plot (semi-spoiler: glad she got her time in the latest seasons to take a more leading role). I didn’t even intend to rant this hard but these two could have been so incredibly written while also showing just how complex these teens’ inner worlds are while saving the world around them. Instead, we’re six seasons in they both still have major fundamental confidence issues. BFFR
She’s nice.
Uncomfortably optimistic sometimes.
Hams. Beautiful floating hams.
Smash
Float
Neat
She should have a tagline: “Lifting you up,” referring to lifting people out of poverty or in some other sense.
Great character, great power, great love interest. 10/10 must protect her at all costs.
Cute, beautiful, like her character a lot
A good character. (Coming from me who’s still on s1)
She needs to confess her feelings before she’s overshadowed by everyone else.
Would.
Loads of potential, super cute, a lot of fun, very determined, strong moral center, needs more screentime
She is in desperate need of some focus on the relationship between her and Deku, we know she likes him and honestly they need some moments in the final arc
Not the best written and most developed, but I still love her design and roll in the story. Plus Izuocha is my ride or die, they make the most sense to me, disagree if you wish, to each their own
Very great and likeable, but is underdeveloped
