Ochaco Uraraka/Relationships

Family
Ochaco loves and cares for her parents very deeply, even taking on the decision to become a hero regardless of the dangers for their sake. She wishes to make money as a hero to give her parents a good life.

On the other hand, her parents clearly love and support Ochaco very much, wanting her to look out for her own happiness instead of help with their business.

When Ochaco returns home after the U.A. Sports Festival, she‘s met by her parents who throw their surprised daughter a party for her efforts. Ochaco is teary-eyed at the visit but is very happy to see them again.

Izuku Midoriya
Their friendship began mainly after Izuku saves her from being crushed by one of the zero-point mock-robots in the U.A. Entrance Exam. She also tries to give points to him after it was over so that he can enter the school since she feels that she owes him for saving her. They meet again and both are surprised to find out they‘re now classmates. Ochaco calls him "Deku", as she thinks it’s his real name because of what he was called in their first meeting, but learns the truth about it and quickly apologizes. She says she thinks it sounds like the Japanese phrase for "You can do it!", (however, in the English dub, she just says it’s sounds cute, and it can make a great hero name), which causes him to blush in delight and tell her she can call him “Deku.”

Ochaco strongly respects and admires Izuku to the point of usually striving to be just like him (sharing his own creativity and determination), and has faith in his judgement and decisions. This is best seen when she puts in a vote for him as class president, which shows her firm belief in him. On the other hand, Izuku trusts deeply in Ochaco's own decisions and help, and greatly enjoys being around her. Both of them are protective of each other, as when Izuku defends her from Katsuki Bakugo’s accusations, and when Ochaco almost confronts Tomura Shigaraki who’s keeping Izuku hostage by the neck at one point. She doesn't seem to mind Izuku's habit of mumbling and taking notes. In the Shie Hassaikai Arc when Sir Nighteye tells her that Izuku was going to die, Ochaco is horrified that she couldn’t do anything to save him. She is later relieved to see him not only survive, but defeated Kai Chisaki as well.

Ochaco slowly developed feelings for Izuku, getting jealous when Mei Hatsume gets too close to him and their intimate talks during the sport's festival. She got embarrassed when Gunhead teased her by asking if she was talking to her boyfriend on the phone, and frantically tells him that wasn't the case. She also frantically denies everything when Yuga asks her about her feelings for Izuku. She’s also greatly amazed when Izuku shows off his new moves at the end of the Vs. Hero Killer Arc.

During the Final Exams Arc, Yuga Aoyama asks Ochaco if she likes Izuku, to which she only replied by blushing and holding her face with embarrassment. This completely changes her view of Izuku, as those words seems to have stuck with her, echoing in her mind whenever the two are alone. In the anime, when Tsuyu questions her on what she and Yuga were talking about, she acts this way again and gives many excuses while backing away from Izuku who is confused by her erratic behavior. Due to her insecurities about her romantic feelings for him, Ochaco usually blushes heavily and runs away whenever she is alone with Izuku, or deny it in an over exaggerated way, while he remains confused by her behavior.

In My Hero Academia: Two Heroes, she was extremely jealous of Melissa Shield spending time with him, until she got to know Melissa and got over her jealously. At the Expo Preview, Ochaco showed up in a formal dress, and Izuku was crushing on her. She felt flustered and mostly ecstatic when Izuku flattered her in her dress. She believed that Izuku would beat Katsuki at the Villain Attack attraction and was one of the few that agreed with Izuku's plan to save everyone. She is shown along with Class 1-A cheering for Izuku during the final battle against Wolfram.

During the Provisional Hero License Exam Arc, Ochaco realizes that she does indeed have romantic feelings for Izuku after getting jealous of "Camie Utsushimi" being with him, and realizes she has felt this way because of their time together, and Ochaco found Izuku to be cool in the first place every time he does everything he can without giving up for the sole purpose of achieving his objective and found Izuku's determination admirable. However, she decides to follow Izuku’s example to focus on becoming a pro hero for her sake, so that her affections for Izuku doesn't interfere between them, deciding to temporarily shut her feelings for him away, and only being close best friends with him for the time being, while simultaneously keeping her feelings in check, and accepting to herself that she does have feelings for Izuku.

It is shown that she has trouble staying in her mindset of keeping her feelings at bay though, as when journalist Taneo takes a selfie with Izuku, she gets flustered and confused. More recently she remembers the time that Izuku saw Mei's cleavage, gets jealous and punches herself in the face in order to get herself to stop. However, after witnessing Izuku losing control of his Quirk Blackwhip, her feelings resurface again as she starts to worry about why this is happening. She uses her Zero Gravity to jump up and grab him before calling out Hitoshi Shinso for assistance. After the end of the 5th match, Mina Ashido teases both Izuku and Ochaco about what transpired, which causes the two to blush furiously in embarrassment.

In My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising, At Nabu Island when on the look for Katsuma Shimano both her and Kyoka went with Izuku to find him. After finding Katsuma and Mahoro Shimano yelled at Izuku for taking too long to find him. Ochaco told him how amazing he is and told him that he's a hero through and through. Giving him a thumbs up and winking at him. When Nine and his group went to attack the island to take Katsuma's Cell Activation quirk, on the fight with Nine and Izuku and Katsuki, after being injuired by Nine's Lightning Strike. Both her and Tsuyu took them out of the fight and rushed them to resistive first aid. She was worried about how Izuku and Katsuki broken bones couldn't be healed. After Katsuma was to heal their injuries using Cell Activation, she was later relieved to see that he's ok. During the final battle with Nine. Ochaco tried to make him float, but when Nine used one of the stolen quirk Hydra on her to send her into the air. While she was sent into the air, Izuku jumped into the air to save her from pluming into the ground. When she was in Izuku's arms, Izuku called out her name worried, then Ochaco said “I’m ok, Deku”, then passed out unconscious in Izuku’s arms. Afterwards, Izuku landed and placed her down on the ground. Izuku then had an enraged look on his face, yelling that Nine will pay for hurting Ochaco, and proceeded to blast his Delaware Smash Air Force at him.

It is also revealed that she and Izuku gave each other Christmas gifts with ecstatic looks on their faces. Ochaco got Izuku a bag of Mochi Chips, and Izuku got her an All Might keychain. Then all of a sudden, Ochaco reveals that she keeps Izuku's All Might keychain he gave her on her belt, causing Mina to tease her. But at that time, Ochaco smiled and responded in a slightly nervous way while putting the keychain away, indicating that she felt a little less embarrassed about her feelings for Izuku. And after the Joint Training Arc when Class 1A showed off their new moves, Ochaco and Izuku shared a touching moment. They both thank each other for making one another stronger, and fist bumped with blushing faces, which indicates that Ochaco’s close relationship with Izuku might possibly develop on another level, Eventually.

Tenya Ida
Since they are both very close to Izuku, they become close friends with each other as well. Ochaco’s amazed to hear Tenya is from a prestigious family of super heroes and that he is therefore the brother of Ingenium. Ochaco says that she knew he had some form of a rich background and was impressed by him. Similarly, Tenya is shown to be supportive of Ochaco's reason for becoming a hero, stating that there's nothing wrong with trying to improve one's state of living.

In spite of their differing personalities, the two surprisingly get along very well and often end up in situations together. As a result, they always have each other's backs during battles, which was seen when Ochaco protects Tenya from Kurogiri as he went to get heroes. Ochaco is concerned about Tenya when he departs for his internship and, alongside Izuku, assures him that they are always available for support whenever he needs them.

Tsuyu Asui
Ochaco and Tsuyu are close friends, as they are on a first-name basis with each other. They even call each other "hon", a shortened version of the nickname "honey". The two easily cooperate with each other while also acting protective, as seen during their fight against Himiko Toga.

They comfort and help the others as possible, as seen when Tsuyu comforts Ochaco by offering to hold her hand (which she accepted) during the Forest Training Camp Arc, or when Ochaco helps Tsuyu to apologize towards their classmates for doubting saving Katsuki. When Tsuyu breaks down crying for that, Ochaco comforts her by holding her as she gets her pain out.

Later, thanks to Nejire Hado, they both do their Hero Work-Studies together at the Ryukyu agency, where they prove to have excellent teamwork, to the point that they have created a Super Move by combining their respective Quirks; Meteor Fafrotskies.

Fumikage Tokoyami
Ochaco and Fumikage appear to be on neutral, if not good, terms with each other, and share a mutual friend in Izuku. During the cavalry battle in the U.A. Sports Festival, Ochaco and Fumikage joined Team Midoriya, and cooperated very well to ensure their team's fourth-place standing, allowing them to advance to the next round.

Momo Yaoyorozu
They are not seen interacting too much, although they appear to be on good terms.

Ochaco is seen comforting Momo after they and the other girls were tricked into wearing skimpy cheerleader outfits by Denki Kaminari and Minoru Mineta. Due to Ochaco's meager lifestyle, she is often amazed and slightly jealous of Momo's wealth.

The pair are later seen talking with the other girls about things. Soon the topic turns into questions about Ochaco's love life, but Momo respects her privacy and tells the other girls to stop trying to pry into it. Ochaco is appreciative of this but left to wonder about her feelings.

Mina Ashido
They are seen together several times and are good friends. Mina was the first of the girls to figure out that Ochaco was in love with someone and teases her for it, while attempting to find out who it is with Jiro and Toru, but Tsuyu and Momo stop them.

After Joint Training Battle, Mina teases her again for grabbing onto Izuku so hard in her attempt to save him, strongly hinting that she knows she likes him, which causes Ochaco to turn bright red in embarrassment. It doesn't stop there, as she continues her teasing after she finds out that Ochaco keeps Izuku's All Might plushie in her gauntlets, revealing that she is aware of her crush on Izuku. Ochaco herself would confirm it, but state she decided to put her feelings away for now.

After a session in which the class showcases their progress, Mina witnesses an exchange between Ochaco and Izuku in which the two bump their fists, which she watches with much delight. By all intents and purposes, Mina is one of the staunchest supporters and hopefuls for an eventual relationship between Ochaco and Izuku.

Katsuki Bakugo
At first, Ochaco avoids interacting with Katsuki due to his aggressive behavior. They first meet in the training fight, but Katsuki is so focused on fighting Izuku that he ignores Ochaco. For his part, Katsuki doesn’t bother to talk to her and doesn’t recall her face or name, as seen in the Sports Festival while she was frightened that she has to fight him. However, in their match, he was thinking less of her at the beginning, but through their whole match, he was impressed by her ingenuity, mostly because he realized she is close friends with Izuku, showcasing that she reminds him of Izuku. Katsuki acknowledged Ochaco's strength and determination, by saying her last name as a sign of respect. For her part, Ochaco stopped being afraid of him since then, and felt grateful to Katsuki for treating her like a strong opponent. After the event, the two heroes-in-training still want nothing to do with one another, but they do respect each other a little. This was seen when Katsuki goes out of his way saying, that Ochaco isn’t frail, even when his classmates except Izuku, said that she was.

In Forest Training Camp Arc, when the students are cooking, Ochaco notices Katsuki’s knife handling skills and was surprised by it, to which he yells, asking what’s so surprising(Anime:Unexpected) about it and rudely questions her, how she can be so damn bad with a knife. Then, Katsuki felt irritated by her after that.

In an omake after the End of Term Test Arc, Ochaco talked to Katsuki about his rivalry against Izuku. She questions why he is so angry around him, and correctly guesses his anger is really just a way to mask his insecurities and jealousy towards Izuku. And she suggests he should stop being mean to Izuku, and be friends with him again. Katsuki felt extremely irritated by her, for wanting him to bond with Izuku, then he responded angrily at her and scared her off.

And anyway, Ochaco still despises Katsuki due to his aggressive behavior towards her and others, especially to Izuku. But she understands how much Izuku cares about him, that she has hope for Izuku and Katsuki to get along, and be friends again.

Yuga Aoyama
They are classmates and their first meeting was in the Quirk Apprehension Test. When Izuku has his Quirk restrained by their teacher, Yuga gives Ochaco comforting words by stating he'll be by her side if Izuku is expelled as she is confused and can't recall his name.

They are later paired up against Thirteen and their teamwork is a bit rocky. When they‘re in a bind, Yuga had correctly guessed that Ochaco was thinking of Izuku in their match. He inquired if she had feelings for him, which resulting in her blushing and letting go of the rail she was clinging to. However, this also awakened her combat instincts and allowed her to take down the hero.

Yuga's words caused Ochaco to ponder over her feelings for Izuku and they were shown to stick with her before she realized that he was right about what she felt about Izuku.

Kyoka Jiro
Initially, Ochaco and Kyoka have very little interaction with each other; as the story progresses, the two build up a friendship, and are on good terms. The two are seen hanging out occasionally outside of class, usually with the other girls of Class 1-A, talking about various things. The night before the Provisional Hero License Exam both Mina, Kyoka, and Toru tried to find out who Ochaco's crush is. Koya said that they wouldn't give up until they found out who Ochaco's love interest is. Before the U.A. School Festival Ochaco compliments Kyoka for her musical skills, recalling occasions where the latter would practice while Ochaco and Toru Hagakure would watch.

During My Hero Academia: Two Heroes, when Ochaco, Momo, and Kyoka explain why they were invited to I-Island, Kyoka casually rests her arm on Ochaco's shoulder, telling Melissa that they were selected by Momo as two guests.

Toru Hagakure
Ochaco appears to be friends with Toru, if not on good terms at least. The two usually hang out with the other girls outside of class, be it in U.A.'s cafeteria or in UA Alliances' lounge room. One night after training for their Ultimate Moves, both her, Mina, and Kyoka tried to find out who's Ochaco's crush is before Momo and Tsuyu tried to stop them. Upon returning from their mission to save Eri, Ochaco and Tsuyu are both hugged by Toru, who is content that they're okay.

Mei Hatsume
Ochaco has a somewhat rocky relationship with Mei, due to the latter's extremely direct nature and wild inventions. She also dislikes Mei's "awfully close" distance when around Izuku (as she has a habit of violating peoples' personal space), much to her dismay and jealously. While all this makes Ochaco extremely uncomfortable and jealous, she manages to remain polite and civil. Recently, though when she remembered the time that Izuku saw Mei's cleavage she punched herself to get herself to stop thinking about it.

Nejire Hado
Nejire helped Ochaco and Tsuyu get an internship with Ryukyu. The three establish a friendship with each other since Ochaco and Tsuyu listen and cooperate with Nejire splendidly during their internship.

Shota Aizawa
Shota is her teacher. Their first meeting was not all good as she was put off by his sudden arrival and deadpan manner. She heard of his hero identity from Izuku and noted she didn't seem familiar with him after he erased Izuku's Quirk. Though there isn't much interaction between them, she respects him as her instructor and listened to him when he had the class flee U.S.J. after actual villains show up.

After the death of Sir Nighteye, Ochaco feels guilty because she thought she could have done much more to save him, but Shota consoles her and replies that she bears no responsibility and the fault lies with the Heroes, asking her to take time and think about what she wants to do in the future, to which she responds that she wants to save people.

Months later, after she saves Izuku during the 5th round of the Joint Training Battle, Shota recounts that Ochaco has matured.

Gunhead
Ochaco interned under Gunhead, wanting to see how a combat hero like him works. They are close enough to tease the other at times, recognizing their strengths and weaknesses. Because of their time together, Ochaco has developed a combat instinct that tends to awake in situations and help her.

Ochaco also thinks the way he talks and acts is cute which contrasts his intimidating appearance.

Ryukyu
Thanks to Nejire's recommendation, Ochaco, along with Tsuyu, is hired by "Dragoon Hero" Ryukyu for internship. Ochaco respects the Pro Hero and is grateful that she accepts her as an intern. As for Ryuko, she believes that Ochaco has potential and that the internship will help to develop her fighting skills.

Ryuko relies enough on Ochaco's abilities to consider her fit to participate in the raid against the Shie Hassaikai. During the operation, along with Tsuyu and Nejire, Ochaco helps Ryuko to defeat Rikiya Katsukame.

Himiko Toga
Ochaco and Himiko are enemies. They first meet at the training camp, when Himiko stalks Ochaco and Tsuyu. Despite the fact that Himiko tries to attack Ochaco and Tsuyu with a knife, she joyfully calls them "her friends", which leaves Ochaco slightly disturbed. However, Himiko manages to hit a soft spot when she realized that Ochaco fell in love with someone. It is later revealed that Toga loves her.

They met again during Paranormal Liberation War Arc where they fight once again. Toga tells Ochaco about how she was viewed as disgusting by society and that she just wants to be free and be herself. Ochaco states that she will pay for her actions dearly leading Himiko to run away crying. Ochaco curiously ponders on why she was so upset. This could imply she may have developed pity for Himiko after hearing how hard things have been for her.

Melissa Shield
As aforementioned, Ochaco is jealous to see Melissa and Izuku hanging out together; an embarrassed Izuku explained to her that Melissa was merely giving him a tour of the museum. At Melissa's behest, Ochaco, alongside Momo and Kyoka Jiro, go to a restaurant to grab some tea. Ochaco and Melissa bond with each other over time, and are implied to have a close enough friendship due to Melissa addressing Ochaco by her first name.

Eri
Ochaco finds Eri adorable, and treats her with kindness. Upon learning the truth about Eri, she is greatly shocked and is determined to save her from Overhaul. Eri herself enjoys Ochaco's company, and likes her for her kind spirit.
