Quirk
"Zero Gravity" - Ochako's Quirk gives her the power to manipulate gravity, such as making objects weightless or making objects float. With this Quirk, she is also able to fly.

A drawback to this Quirk is if it is used too much, she will suffer from nausea and possibly vomit as a result.

 * "Home Run Comet (Move)": After applying her quirk's power of making objects weightless to some rumble and a pillar, Ochako then uses the pillar to hit the rumble at her enemy. This move was first used to distract Tenya IIda in Chapter 10.
