My Hero Academia, a manga series by Kohei Horikoshi, has ended with the introduction of Ochaco Uraraka as a pro hero. The series, which began with Izuku Midoriya highlighting the inequality in his hero-filled world, has been a source of inspiration for fans who have risen against hero society for being different or having a quirk that doesn't fit in with conventional society.

Ochaco's pro-hero future

Ochaco, a character with a history of back and forth with Himiko Toga, has been deeply affected by her character's quirk and hero society's failure to support her. She confesses to Deku that she wishes she could have helped Toga more before her death. In My Hero Academia's final chapter, Ochaco aims to help more people, ensuring that another Toga doesn't happen again.

My Hero Academia Chapter 430 sees former Class 1-A members pursuing successful pro-hero careers. Ochaco has initiated a plan to expand access to quirk counseling, a crucial aspect in the current age of a decline in villains and a wider role of heroes in Japan, as revealed in a news report.

Ochaco aims to assist individuals with destructive or abnormal quirks, such as Toga, as part of the changes Deku and others made to society through their fight against All For One and Tomura Shigaraki. Their goal is not just to defeat villains but also to ensure that others will never feel failed by hero society again, resulting in a successful pro-hero future for Ochaco.

A brief about Ochaco

Ochaco is a short girl with a curvy figure, fair skin, and auburn hair. She has pink cheek marks and large, round eyes with thick upper and lower lashes. Her hair is shoulder-length with short bangs and bobbed style. Ochaco uses small pads on her fingertips, similar to animal paw digits, to activate and deactivate her Quirk. Her hair is shoulder-length with short bangs and two long strands framing her face.

Ochaco is a warm, cute, lively individual who thinks about everything positively, though she is objective enough to see flaws and virtues. She is generally empathetic and friendly to those she meets, and she will try to help or defend anyone who is kind to her or needs assistance.

Ochaco is very adept at reading people, understanding the reasons behind Izuku and Katsuki Bakugo's rivalry, and being the first to notice when the usually collected Tsuyu Asui is upset. Her empathy and kindness are evident in her strong relationships with her classmates. She gets along well with everyone and is particularly close friends with several class members, including Izuku, Tenya Ida, and Tsuyu, among others

Despite her cheerful and sometimes ditzy demeanor, Ochaco can adopt an extremely determined, focused, and somewhat intimidating attitude when the situation demands it. This side of her personality can surprise those accustomed to her generally bubbly nature and often emerges during competitive situations, such as the U.A. Sports Festival.

Ochaco has significantly improved her skills at U.A. High School, securing 3rd place in the U.A. Entrance Exam and 10th place in the Quirk Apprehension Test. Her main battle tactic involves using her Quirk, Zero Gravity, to directly affect opponents by making them float and lose their footing. She also utilizes floating rubble for projectile attacks and removes the weight of heavy structures to use them as melee weapons. Ochaco's abilities make her one of the strongest female students in her class, making her a formidable opponent.

Ochaco's strength stems from a combination of physical conditioning, strategic Quirk applications, and mental resilience. While she may not have the raw physical power of some heroes, her tactical use of Zero Gravity, rigorous combat training, and determination make her a capable hero. Her ability to lift and manipulate heavy objects, along with her tactical intelligence, enables her to handle various combat scenarios and support her allies effectively. With her Quirk Awakening, she can effortlessly lift and suspend hundreds of thousands of twice clones, demonstrating her capacity to manage even the most overwhelming situations.

In terms of raw speed, Ochaco's agility, quick reflexes, and creative use of her Quirk make her a swift and agile combatant. Her ability to move quickly and strategically in battle, combined with her enhanced reflexes from combat training, ensures she can hold her own against powerful opponents. In the Final War Arc, she demonstrated her speed and resilience by swiftly dodging a pillar of clones intent on killing her using Gunhead Martial Arts. Even while severely wounded, she managed to float some of the clones in the air.

Ochaco's Quirk, Zero Gravity, allows her to nullify the effects of gravity on solid targets by touching them with the pads on her fingertips, causing them to become weightless and float. She can cancel the effect of her Quirk by touching her finger pads together.
