Template:Ochaco Synopsis/Final Act

Dark Hero Arc
A few days after Izuku left U.A., Ochaco joins a meeting with Class 1-A, as they deduce that Izuku and All Might are now working with Endeavor and his team. After feeling they find a way to contact them, Ochaco suggests that since Endeavor is a U.A. alumni, they force the issue. They approach Nezu with their request, which he agrees to, luring Endeavor back to U.A. where they confront him and get him to confirm their suspicions.

Once Nezu gives Class 1-A permission to bring back Izuku to U.A, she dispatches with the rest of her classmates to search for Izuku, while at the same time apprehending any prison escapees along the way. After it's been a month since he left, Ochaco and Class 1-A finally arrive on the scene to defeat Dictator who he was currently fighting.

Izuku asks why they are all here and Ochaco responds they were worried about him. Izuku insists that he is okay and that they shouldn't worry about him and leave, but she and Class 1-A refuses to leave him. When Izuku refuses to yield, he demands everyone to get out of his way, which means they might have to fight Izuku. So Tenya tells Ochaco and everyone else to stand strong, and Ochaco agrees.

Class 1-A proceed to duel with Izuku as he attempts to escape them, while they try to restrain him so they can return him back to U.A. After taking down most of his classmates, Izuku prepares to make a getaway, combining Blackwhip, One For All at 45%, and Fa Jin, but Ochaco comes from the sky, telling him that his situation is different from when Katsuki was captured. Before she can finish her sentence, Izuku dodged her approach and blasted into the sky.

Ochaco calls to her classmates as they combine Mina's Acidman and Shoto's Flashfreeze Heatwave to launch Katsuki off Shoto's ice ramp-up to Izuku, pushing them further with her Zero Gravity. In her head, Ochaco knows that she and everyone has something to say to Izuku but they know they won't reach him, while also saying that they don't want to be protected by Izuku, or want to reject who he is or what he's doing, they just want to be with him.

Once Tenya catches up to Izuku, she releases them from her Quirk before falling over to Eijiro. She and the rest of Class 1-A listen to Katsuki apologizing to Izuku before he collapses from exhaustion. Momo proceeds to say that now Izuku is secured, the hardest is to come, which Ochaco agrees with. They proceed to escort him safely back to a heavily fortified U.A High where they are confronted by protesting civilians.

The civilians say they know he is the rumored boy Tomura is targeting and after they were convinced U.A. would provide them sanctuary, allowing what they consider a "ticking time-bomb" is a horrible idea. They say he should go somewhere else and Izuku even considers leaving, but Ochaco grabs his hand to stop him and tells him not to worry about it, as she is right now more determined to not let him go, and now it's her turn to protect him.

Despite the Heroes' reassurances, the people are still unconvinced, believing they are being forced to pay the price for the heroes' mistakes, with the hatred and anxiety of everyone starting to swell up Izuku's Danger Sense. With no one seemingly listening to reason, Ochaco jumps up onto the U.A. building with a microphone and addresses to the people that Izuku Midoriya has a special power, and that he already left the school originally to prevent anyone from feeling troubled, he has only returned because she and the rest of her class brought him back. She admits his power is what the villain's desire because they know it is the only thing that can stop them, but he has gone through so much while on the outside. She begs for everyone to take a closer look at him for he wishes to fix everything despite knowing he could be attacked at any minute.

Sure enough, the people start calming down, with one of the civilians recognizing him for having helped her earlier. Ochaco declares that special powers are one thing, but there is no such thing as a special person. Ochaco then begins to think back to how she had always loved to see people happy, which is why seeing her own parents be so exhausted hurt her so much, and why she looked at the cheering people when they saw a hero in action. She also thinks about how she wants to help the heroes who are hurting themselves ever since she met Izuku.

The people start seeing how exhausted Izuku is, with the big woman he saved before speaking up saying that after he saved her, he immediately went back to fighting. One of the unconvinced civilians asks if the people themselves should be covered in filth too, but Ochaco replies saying that only the Heroes will be, which is why she wants them to give him time to rest to wash it away. Izuku shouts out Ochaco's name in awe at her words all the while he continues tearing up. Ochaco apologizes that she and the heroes can't reassure everyone's safety, because they are as scared as everyone else, which makes them all the same in a sense. She screams for them to lend Izuku their strength so they can have a shot at smiling in the future, while briefly thinking back to her fight with Himiko Toga during the War and the tears in her eyes.

Nevertheless, Ochaco continues her speech begging everyone to let Izuku stay and rest, citing him as just a high school kid like herself and the others who are still learning as they go, as she realizes that when the heroes are hurting, it is up to everyone else to protect them. When the same protesting civilian tries to speak back, Ochaco screams at the top of her lungs that U.A. High is Izuku's hero academy. Her words cause Izuku to collapse to his knees in exhaustion. The speech leads the rest of the civilians to start questioning their actions and agree to let Izuku stay, as he's escorted inside.

Shortly afterward, Izuku is cleaned up by the rest of the boys and proceeds to finally rest, all the while Ochaco also goes to sleep, having passed out from exhaustion on her own.

U.A. Traitor Arc
Two days later, Class 1-A learn that during this time, Tomura had fought American No. 1 Hero, Star and Stripe, and while she was killed during the battle with Tomura successfully stealing her Quirk, New Order, thanks to her actions, the Quirk acted like a virus within his body, destroying several of his Quirks and delaying his procedure by about a week. All Might informs all this to the class, telling them that this is now their perfect time to prepare for the inevitable all-out war. The class reveals over the past month they had been training with the Wild, Wild Pussycats in order to keep up with Izuku in the incoming conflict, and are now about to head out to continue their training.

The class train amongst themselves in the courtyard, with Ochaco sparring with Tsuyu, who also pokes fun at her after her classmates mention how the civilians have calmed down over their presence thanks to her speech.

Shortly after this, she and the rest of the class receive devastating news that Izuku had just captured the Aoyama Family, learning that they have been spies for All For One, and Yuga was the traitor who isolated the class at the U.S.J. and revealed the location of their training camp. Restraining them in the AV room, she and the other class members refuse to back down from the news despite Nezu's request, all in stunned and tears of Yuga's betrayal. She listens to Yuga's desperation that drove him to despair, followed by Izuku's pleading to let Yuga still help them.

The rest of the class quickly realize that they could have Yuga help deceive All For One and "steer the villains" into the fight, and when questioned considering his betrayal, say they want him to help them so they can more easily move on and forgive him.

Shota then appears on a tablet screen, taking full responsibility and reveals that he has an idea, which Class 1-A, the U.A. Staff, and Police Force hear while the Aoyama Family's ears have been covered. Naomasa then has the Aoyama Family escorted back to their HQ, telling everyone not to say a word to anyone else about the plan, while she and the rest of the class look on sullenly. Back at Heights Alliance, Ochaco and the class take a breather, before getting ready to gear back up, as she and everyone, with fire and rage in their eyes over the betrayal, prepare to bring All For One down once and for all. She and her class form a "Search Squad" and head back out to take down the remaining villains.

Later that night, Class 1-A return to Heights Alliance after gaining no new information from their search, so return for a break, feeling incredibly tired. Just then, All Might, Naomasa, and Nezu appear, informing them all about their secret finalized plans for the upcoming Second War.

The next day, Nezu announces to the civilians that Tomura will make his big move in 4 days, with Class 1-A moving outside of the U.A. barrier to began prioritizing their safety. Ochaco says goodbye to her family members one last time before heading out. She moves alongside the rest of her class into the upgraded makeshift fortress called "Troy". After packing her small bit of luggage, Ochaco returns outside to check out the war-torn city. Izuku then appears to see her, after spotting her outside, as the two say they didn't have much to unpack anyway.

Izuku thanks Ochaco for her speech, which she simply brushes off, before saying she's just watching the city. She tells him she feels weird, as back when she was shouting from the top of the building, Himiko Toga popped into her head. She tells him during their fight during the War, even after she told her what she believed is right, she saw how sad it made her. Even after all the lives that have been lost and the city destroyed, and being way past the point of forgiveness, she's still a person, and thinks about how she doesn't know anything about her at all.

Ochaco continues that she's gazing out of the city so she won't forget the destruction they caused and won't think stupid things like that again. However, Izuku replies that he understands her, having seen a little boy crying inside Tomura, and that even though there's no way to avoid the battle, he can't ignore that side of him. Ochaco says that it makes them both weird, and regardless, they will put a stop to them.

Final War Arc
With the upcoming Final War approaching, the Heroes plan to trap All For One and the Villains by using Hitoshi Shinso's Brainwashing Quirk to brainwash Yuga and his parents to communicate with All For One without appearing to have any ill-intent, thus allowing them to lure him to a specific location. Then, after the ruse has been revealed, utilize Kurogiri's Warp Gate Quirk, courtesy of Neito Monoma, to warp all the Heroes to the location for a surprise attack.

After Ochaco arrives with the rest of Class 1-A, the Troy defense system is activated, trapping all the Villains into cages. While they are easily able to break out, it delays them enough to allow the Heroes to shove each of the major villain generals into separate Warp Gates, splitting them up. Ochaco and Tsuyu are assigned with dealing with Himiko Toga, and shove her and several additional villains into a portal, teleporting them all to the middle of an aquarium on Okuto Island. Unfortunately, Izuku, who was supposed to face against Tomura, was snagged by Himiko and brought into the portal alongside them. Ochaco is shocked to see him being not part of the plan.

As the fighting commences, a shockwave blast from a Near High-End Nomu knocks her and Izuku off course from the rest of the Heroes. Izuku discuses with Ochaco how they are unable to warp him to Tomura at the moment so he has to make it there himself. However, before anything can happen, Himiko suddenly appears to start attacking Izuku, all the while talking about how much she loves him and not to leave. Himiko then tells him to be her boyfriend, leading to confused reactions from him and Ochaco.

Izuku freaks out with flabbergasting reactions, asking what she's talking about, leading Himiko to confess she's felt this way ever since they first met, since he was so beaten up and looked exactly like her first crush, her face twisting saying she wants to suck his blood and become him. Izuku stammers asking if being a couple means doing stuff like going on dates and holding hands, while Himiko states that being a couple to her means being one and the same, with Ochaco nervous all the while the conversation is occurring.

Himiko then asks Izuku what he wants to do with her, which Ochaco recognizes as the same question she asked her during the War. Izuku responds that while he understands her feelings, he can't understand her reactions when hurting people, causing Himiko to start to snap with fury. She says that Izuku and Ochaco are both the same, just like her parents, stating that they think only Heroes and those they protect count as real people, which is why they're destined to be apart.

Himiko runs at them with her knives and whips, with Izuku dodging while Ochaco grabs ahold of her. She says she's been thinking hard about her ever since that day, while Himiko claims she hasn't been on her mind anymore, and that she's through thinking of the both of them; if the world rejected her, she's entitled to do the same. Ochaco was distracted by some of her whips coming from behind, causing Himiko to stab her in the back. Fortunately, Tsuyu manages to save Ochaco and double-kicks Himiko away with Ochaco receiving a grazed cut, but adds they need to get the knife back, since her blood is on it. While Izuku voices concern over her injury, Ochaco remains confident and tells Izuku that she will handle this, just like he needs to handle Tomura. He nods in agreement just as she yells at him to run as he speeds away.

Now that Izuku's gone, Himiko tells the girls she's had enough and that she's ready to be who she wants to be. Himiko declares she has no need for Heroes, while Ochaco declares she will also live the way that's right for her, as the girls are ready to resume their fight.

As the fighting continues, Himiko attempts to catch Tsuyu off guard, but Ochaco and some other Heroes are able to counter her. She thinks about how Himiko uses misdirections to hide her presence and due to it being a really complex technique, there must be a limit to how many people she can evade, so they'll make sure to constantly keep watch with 4 people and a sensor-type Hero on her at once.

Himiko looks like she is about to drink a vial of blood, so Tsuyu quickly disposes of it, however she reveals that it was actually a decoy drug that attracts the Nomu, causing the Near High-End to turn its attention to her, and unleashing a destructive blast. Ochaco calls out to Tsuyu, and as the waves settle, she sees Himiko transformed into Tsuyu, holding the real one down. But before she can do anything, Himiko drinks the real vial containing Twice's blood, transforming into him and immediately begins creating Doubles.

Suddenly a Warp Gate conjured by a freed Kurogiri appears from above her, as she tells him to send her to Hawks, seeking revenge for Twice's death. Ochaco attempts to stop her and the Doubles from escaping with her whips, but they slap all of them away as they enter the portals. She shouts to Himiko they still haven't talked about romance, and while Himiko initially hesitates, she enters and responds she wishes they could. But before the Warp Gate can close, Ochaco and Tsuyu both help launch themselves into it, emerging out of it as the former declares she's not losing sight of her again, ready to join the Gunga Mountain Ruins battle.

By the time she and Tsuyu had exited out of the Warp Gate, it was already too late as Himiko activated and unleashed Sad Man's Parade all over the battlefield, horrifying both of them. As the Infinite Doubles swarm all over alongside Dabi's Blueflames scorching the surrounding forests, the heroes are losing the fight, forcing them to retreat. Ochaco and Tsuyu reunite with Fumikage and Kyoka, and after noticing Kyoka's injury, Ochaco says that all of Japan will be buried unless they stop Himiko, but Fumikage tells them Dabi's flames are too hot, and because there are so many Doubles swarming all over them, all they can do is flee for themselves now that their divide and conquer strategy has failed.

After Fumikage dropped his classmates off, he flies back into sky to help Hawks, while they try to figure out how to deal with the Twice Doubles. Tsuyu suggests the situation isn't as bad as it could be, since Himiko is only Doubling more Twice's and not her other more dangerous villainous allies, believing that they are unable to use their Quirks. Based on Ochaco's assessment, they are aware she can use the Quirks of those she "loves", so knowing how unstable her emotions are, she states they have to find the original Himiko before things get worse.

Soon afterward, the Heroes receive backup courtesy of the Shiketsu High School students, with Inasa Yoarashi using his Whirlwind Quirk to suck up most of the Twice Doubles from the battlefield, while the remaining Heroes target All For One and the rest of the Doubles. While fighting over several Twice's, Ochaco is able to spot a lone Twice crying, and thinking back to how she always loves seeing people happy and can't ignore anyone's tears, she is able to recognize that as the real Himiko.

Now that she has spotted the real Himiko in the swarm of Twice Doubles, she runs to confront her. However, unbeknownst to them, Dabi has been internally compressing his thermal energy, in about ten minutes, his body will explode and cremate everything within 5 kilometers, including those fighting the Doubles. The internal combustion starts to take into effect as a massive inferno sphere starts to expand outwards, causing Tiger to call out to everyone to retreat from the blast zone. Despite the increasingly dangerous circumstances, Ochaco still remains to face Himiko.

Ochaco ends up being pinned to the ground by several Twice Doubles, but at this same moment, Dabi's impending explosion is stopped by Shoto, as his flaming sphere begins to dissipate into the air. Himiko looks on at the disappearing fire, while Ochaco starts to get back up with a fiery determination in her eyes.

With Himiko distraught over Dabi's defeat her mentality starts to reach breaking point as the Twice Doubles continue to rant that "All Heroes Must Die!" and increase their swarm on the battlefield. Ochaco frees herself and emerges from the swarm to reach the real Himiko at the top. She uses her wire to attach to Himiko's arm, and pulls off her new Ultimate Move, Spacewalk, to swing herself around the Doubles to reach Himiko. Ochaco cries out that while they haven't shared much with each other since the last summer they first met, she has had a big change of heart.

Himiko responds once again that it's too late, but Ochaco states she knows that she's been crying and knows the reason why she can't do the things Twice could do. She remembers back to Tsuyu's theory that her "love" didn't extend to the other villains, but after seeing her tears, she realizes it is because she mixed her feelings with bloodlust, so she is not working off "pure love". Himiko is shocked hearing this, to the point of part of her face becoming exposed. She becomes furiously enraged and yells at Ochaco about how she doesn't know the first thing about her, revealing an injured Tsuyu at knifepoint from the Double swarm, much to her horror.

Himiko continues to vent about how Ochaco never wanted for anything, because she always followed the rules and was born into a livable life, as she's about to slice Tsuyu with her knife. However, Ochaco pulls Himiko away toward her, barely grazing Tsuyu, as the Villain screams her name. As the chaos in the Double swarm intensifies, Himiko stabs Ochaco in the stomach right as she's pulled in close. As Ochaco coughs up blood, while still refusing to let go, Himiko furiously yells out that they're built differently, and how they go about happy, blessed lives, but she doesn't get to feel any of that, as their rules pity her, but they never helped her in life.

Ochaco endures through despite the pain, as the villain continues her venting. Ochaco claims it isn't pity, and catches Himiko off-guard by using her Quirk to cause Himiko to float away. Himiko responds that despite everything she's trying to say, she knows in the end they'll just toss her in a cage on death row, or murder her outright now like they did to Twice, exclaiming that it isn't about winning or losing, and living or dying anymore; it is a battle for survival with no going back.

Ochaco replies that it seems like the truth for them both, with Himiko accusing her that it's her ego talking, and if their egos are clashing, then she's about to be dead. With rage fueling her insanity, Himiko unleashes Sad Man's Legion, releasing her Doubles to the absolute extreme on a gigantic scale. The swarm becomes an ocean and completely consumes all the Heroes, Villains, and Nomu alike, decimating the nearby city.

Himiko sends a wave of Doubles toward Ochaco and she repels them with her Gunhead Martial Arts, causing them to float back up into the air. Himiko mocks that all she's done is make them all float; however, Ochaco declares that her Zero Gravity isn't a power for hurting people, causing Himiko to be irritated. Ochaco continues that she may be right about her ego talking, since Himiko intentionally killed people and she can't wipe her slate clean. However despite all that, when she sees her face, she believes there must have been a reason, and remembers on the day of their fight in the Paranormal Liberation War what she said made her look so sad.

Himiko angrily yells back that she was the sad one, with Ochaco confirming they both were. She admits she seriously scared her when they first met because she didn't understand her, not knowing why she would be able to grin with such a genuine smile like that. Himiko tries to tell her to shut up and just die already, but Ochaco continues on and admits she pushed her away once, and knows it isn't a place she can be herself, but even still, she has seen so many happy faces, and with her being able to declare what she loves with her whole face. Ochaco yells out that she is jealous of her perfect smile, and doesn't want to pretend she never saw it.

Himiko is moved to tears upon hearing this, and Ochaco stretches out her hand touching the Double swarm. Due to her injury and her intense emotions, Ochaco undergoes a Quirk Awakening as the ocean of Doubles suddenly burst open, with the Doubles and Heroes beginning to float through the air, thanks to her Quirk now spreading between all the bodies that came into contact with each other. Ochaco rushes toward Himiko, telling her that she can't erase her crimes or approve of anything she's done, but if she still feels like talking, she can have a lifetime's worth of blood, begging her to have a chat about romance.

Ochaco was amazed of her new profound abilities from her Awakening, and thinks about how there's something weird about her Zero Gravity Quirk, now that it is causing everyone within the Twice Double ocean to float in the air together. However, Ochaco feels her body starting to go cold due to her fatal injuries and serious blood loss, but despite that, she continues to push herself, wanting to reach out and touch the sorrow within Himiko. She successfully grabs onto Himiko with her grappling hook once more, telling her that her family is poor and her parents often looked gloomy, so she decided to become a Hero to make their lives easier and cheer them up. But, as she grew up, she learned the world's full of other people like her. Himiko pulls the hook up towards her as Ochaco finally admits that she fell in love with Izuku and now is trying to stop her, declaring that is who she is and why she is here.

The two girls get in close to each other as Himiko screams and attempts to slash with her knife, while Ochaco pleads her to tell her what is on her mind, and all of her thoughts and feelings. Himiko, with rage and tears in her eyes, is about to stab Ochaco, but at the last moment, hesitates and stops briefly. Himiko begins to speak, saying she falls in love easily, whether it's animals, Villains, Heroes, boys, or girls, because they all have amazing blood pumping through them.

Ochaco listens on as Himiko says she was told not to smile, and she'd get so jealous of others. She says Izuku reminds her of a boy she used to like named Saito, but knew she couldn't ask him for his blood, because then he'd call her a freak and not cute at all. Just like Ochaco and Izuku, everyone would scold and lecture her on the right way to be, which is why she joined the League of Villains, because then she could live and love how she needed to. Himiko cries and is about to stab Ochaco once again, but she breaks down and stops once more.

Ochaco reveals that the signs were always there from her, but it took her so long to notice. As the Twice Doubles begin to disintegrate with the Twice transformation finally wearing off, Ochaco tells Himiko she thinks there's something amazing about someone who's all ragged but trying their hardest anyway. Ochaco knows she will not be a replacement for the League, but she still wants her to know how special she thinks her smile is. Himiko asks if she really is cute and Ochaco responds, "the cutest in the whole world", making Himiko smile just as the Twice Doubles fade away into the sky.

As the Doubles disintegrates, Ochaco collapses due to her blood loss, but she continues to use her Quirk to ensure all the Heroes caught up in its effects have a safe landing, knowing in the end she'll never let anyone down hard. Having lost too much blood, her brain starts to disconnect with her body, and Ochaco struggles to try and stay awake, but her body wouldn't move.

As Ochaco lays there dying from her wounds, Himiko comes before her and swallows some of Ochaco's blood, transforming into her, and telling her how happy her words made her. Himiko admits that even though she said it was a battle of survival, she can't stand the thought of a world without her. Pulling out her blood disposal gear, Himiko recalls the same procedure Twice did for her whens he fought the Meta Liberation Army and inserts it into her arm and Ochaco's, saying that to prove her feelings are genuine, she will give her all of her blood.

Through her blood transfusion, Ochaco starts to breathe again after receiving some of Himiko's blood, with Himiko explaining when she was on the brink of death, Twice saved her by doing the same thing, but since his Quirk is gone now, she transformed into her because by sharing the same Quirk, they also share the same blood type.

Ochaco tries to speak for her to stop, knowing if she does this she will die, but Himiko asks if she really intended on visiting her in prison and giving her blood until she died. Himiko says she could've easily just captured the villain and eliminated the freaks of the world, doing the right thing as a Hero, and yet, she still spared a thought for someone like her, even after she hurt all of her friends and herself, calling her weird with tears in her eyes.

Ochaco responds back with the same sentiment, but Himiko continues that she'll live and love as she pleases, to not let her capture her, just how she doesn't want her to get away, sincerely apologizing for stabbing and yelling at her. As Himiko revives Ochaco, she says how Dabi burned down her childhood home for her, how it was a normal home full of horrible things that he made go away for her. Doing that made her happy, but the bad stuff was still there inside her heart, and while Ochaco didn't make it go away, she reached out and touched her, which made her heart felt so light like it could float away.

Himiko thanks Ochaco for everything and for making her so happy. Ochaco tears up when Himiko is about to lose her life for hers and cries out to Himiko, as the two girls lie on the ground together, with Himiko holding onto Ochaco.
