Template:Ochaco Synopsis/Final Act

Tartarus Escapees 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.

Current Arc
The Heroes plan to trap All For One and the Villains is to use 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.
