Ochaco Uraraka/Synopsis

History
Ochaco's parents own a construction business, but none of them have the Quirks compatible for the job, which caused them to have considerably economic problems for years, even after having a child.

As a result, Ochaco wanted to help with her family's business since her early childhood. However, her father refused her help, replying that even though he and her mother were happy that she wanted to help, they would be happier if she made her own dreams come true instead.

During her teenage years, Ochaco decided to get a Hero's license in order to give a more comfortable life to her parents. Despite her financial outcome compared to her classmates, after she entered to U.A, Ochaco managed to get her own apartment to assist school.

Entrance Exam Arc
Ochaco attends the U.A. Highschool Entrance Exams. She notices Izuku Midoriya tripping and uses her Quirk to float his body, preventing him from falling over. She apologizes for using her Quirk on Izuku without permission. She nervously admits to him her concerns about the test and departs by wishing him good luck.

During the practical portion of the exam, Ochaco scores twenty-eight points by using her Quirk on the villain-bots. A gigantic villain bot appears and tears apart the testing arena. Ochaco gets caught under debris as the robot approaches, putting her in danger of being crushed. Izuku puts his safety aside and rushes to her aid. It what was a complete shock to Ochaco, he defeats the massive robot with one powerful blow. However, Izuku breaks both his legs and his right arm in the process and begins to free fall. Ochaco frees herself from the debris in time to safe Izuku from falling from the great height. She smacks him just in time and uses her powers to float him as he's about to crash. The exams end shortly after.

Ochaco returns to U.A. after the exams and asks Present Mic if she can transfer some of the points she'd earned onto Izuku. She tells Present Mic that Izuku had a zero score and that she needed to repay him for saving her. Present Mic thanks Ochaco for stopping by, but Izuku earned enough rescue points to pass. Ochaco also earned forty-five rescue points. Combined with her villain points, this places Ochaco third in the exam.

Quirk Apprehension Test Arc
Ochaco is the last person to arrive in Class 1-A on the first day of school. She happens upon Izuku and Tenya talking at the door. Izuku is clearly embarrassed, but this doesn't stop Ochaco from telling him how awesome his punch from the exam was. A man clad in a sleeping bag, lying on the ground appears behind the trio. They are frightened when he tells them that they're taking up too much time chatting.

This man introduces himself as Shota Aizawa: their homeroom teacher. He immediately tells the class to dress in their P.E. attire and go to the training grounds. Ochaco is concerned that they will miss orientation, but Shota claims there isn't any time for formalities. Class 1-A follows Shota outside, where he announces that they will undergo quirk apprehension tests to determine their standing in the class. The person who places last will be immediately expelled. Ochaco expresses that she feels this is unfair to the students. Shota replies that many of the world's disasters are unfair and that the students will need to "Go Beyond" that.

In the fifty meter-dash, Ochaco uses her Quirk: "Zero Gravity" to negate the gravitational pull on her clothes and shoes. The added speed allows her to finish in 7.15 seconds, which is faster than her previous score from junior high. On the pitch test, Ochaco achieves an infinite score by floating the ball into the atmosphere. Izuku goes next, but Shota erases his Quirk to stop him from breaking his arm. Izuku recognizes him as the Pro-Hero Eraserhead, but Ochaco and other students don't recognize that name. Then Izuku throws the ball over seven hundred meters by breaking his finger and Ochaco cheers him on.

Following the physical tests, Shota reveals the student's scores. Ochaco places tenth out of the class while Izuku comes in last. Just when Izuku believes he's been expelled, Shota reveals that no one is going home and that threat was just a logical deception. Ochaco and most of the students are shocked by this revelation.

Afterward, Ochaco catches up with Izuku and Tenya to ask them if they want to walk to the station together. She recognizes Tenya by his name but accidentally calls Izuku by Deku. Izuku explains that Deku is a nickname that Katsuki uses to bully him. Ochaco likes the name Deku. She says it would make a great hero name and that it's cute. Ochaco and her new friends Tenya and Deku walk home together.

Battle Trial Arc
Ochaco eats lunch with Izuku and Tenya the next day. That afternoon, they attend Hero Basic Training class taught by All Might. All Might announces their first lesson will be combat training. Ochaco and her peers dress in their new costumes and meet their teacher at training ground beta. She tells Izuku she likes how simple his costume is, but dislikes how her own costume is too tight on her. All Might begins to explain the Battle Trial the students will undertake but gets interrupted when Ochaco and others keep asking questions. The students are paired up into teams of two and will fight mach-battles inside buildings. One team will be designated as the heroes while the other will be the villains. The objective of the heroes is to capture the villains or recover the payload the villains protect.

Class 1-A draws lots to choose their partner and Ochaco ends up with Izuku as her partner. All Might chooses their opponent at random as well. Ochaco and Izuku are chosen to be the hero team up against Katsuki and Tenya. They wait outside the building for five minutes after their opponents enter.

Ochaco tells Izuku that she's excited to be able to see All Might up close. Her enthusiasm is interrupted when she realizes Izuku is so nervous that he's sweating through his costume. Izuku admits that he's afraid to face Katsuki because of how powerful he is. He goes on to say that he must do better and that he won't lose in the Battle Trial. Ochaco says it's a fated battle between rivals and that they will win as a team.

They enter the building and Ochaco follows Izuku around the narrow corridors until Katsuki surprise attacks them. Izuku grabs Ochaco in time for both of them to evade Katsuki's explosion. Katsuki attacks again, but Izuku catches his arm and uses a shoulder toss to counter and slam Katsuki onto the ground. Ochaco cheers as she watches Izuku tell Katsuki that "Deku" is the name of a hero.

Katsuki recovers and kicks Izuku. Izuku tells Ochaco to go ahead without him while he fights Katsuki. Ochaco reaches Tenya and the fake bomb on the floors above. She walks in on Tenya getting himself into the villainous mindset. Ochaco finds this funny and lets her guard down by laughing out loud. Tenya notices her and reveals that he's removed anything for Ochaco to float from the room. As he monologues over his plan, Ochaco contacts Izuku and tells him she found the payload in the middle of the fifth floor.

Katsuki uses a giant explosion to attack Izuku that shakes the entire building. In the chaos, Ochaco floats herself and makes a jump for the weapon. However, Tenya is too fast for her and uses his Quirk to keep it out of her reach.

Izuku and Ochaco come up with a plan where the former uses his Quirk to break up the higher floors of the building. This gives Ochaco the opening and the tools to use her Quirk effectively. She swings a large pillar to send stones flying at Tenya, nicknaming the technique Home Run Comet. While Tenya avoids the attack, Ochaco jumps onto the payload and wins the Battle Trial.

Following their battle trial, Ochaco, Tenya, and Katsuki are critiqued in the monitoring room. All Might declares Tenya the MVP of the trial and asks the class why he chose Tenya. Momo answers his question. She says Ochaco dropped her guard mid-battle and she took advantage of the trial by using an imprecise special move. Izuku returns to class later on. Ochaco walks in with Denki soon after and immediately runs over to Izuku. She's concerned about his wounds but he tells her that he's fine. He asks where Katsuki went. She tells him Katsuki left and Izuku goes after him.

Unforeseen Simulation Joint Arc
Ochaco gets questioned by reporters on her way to school the next day. They ask what All Might is like in person. Ochaco can't quite describe him, but she does call him very muscular. Class 1-A votes for their Class President during homeroom. Tenya suggests the class vote for it. Ochaco quietly uses her vote on Izuku so Katsuki doesn't notice. Izuku and Momo are voted in as class representatives.

At lunch, Ochaco eats and talks to Izuku and Tenya about the class president. Tenya tells Izuku he voted for him as well. Ochaco mentions that Tenya looked the part of being class president. Tenya accidentally mentions his families hero agency, prompting Ochaco to ask if his family is wealthy. Tenya admits that he comes from a family of pro-heroes and that the hero Ingenium is his elder brother.

Suddenly the school's alarms go off and the students begin to evacuate in a panic. Ochaco and the others get caught in the mob created by the panic. She calls for Tenya's help and he reaches his hand out to her. He requests that she help him float above everyone else. Using his Quirk, Tenya moves over the corridor and dispells the panic by informing everyone it's just the media trespassing on campus grounds.

Later on, Shota announces to the Class that they will partake in rescue training at an outside facility. Ochaco gets dressed in her costume save for her helmet. She notices Izuku wearing his P.E. uniform rather than his costume. He explains it got wrecked during combat training. Class 1-A boards the bus and Katsuki eventually starts fighting with his peers. Momo complains that their conversation is too vulgar, but Ochaco says that it's fun to hear them argue. Class 1-A reaches the Unforeseen Simulation Joint and are met by the Space Hero: Thirteen. Thirteen speaks to them about the importance of using their Quirks to help others. The teacher's speech is interrupted when villains suddenly enter the facility through a warp gate.

Shota fends off the villains on his own and leaves Thirteen to evacuate with the class. They prepare to escape, but they are cut off by the villain Kurogiri. He explains he and his allies are the League of Villains. They came to the U.S.J to kill All Might, but he isn't there. Katsuki and Eijiro attack the mist villain. Kurogiri is able to avoid their attack and counterattacks by warping the class across the facility. Tenya grabs Ochaco and Rikido and evades the warp gate.

Only Ochaco, Tenya, Rikido, Mezo, Mina, and Hanta remain on the entrance platform with Thirteen. Thirteen instructs Tenya to run back to the main campus to get help. He's reluctant at first, but Ochaco and the others encourage him to save the day. Kurogiri overhears their plan and attacks. Thirteen counters with their Black Hole Quirk to vacuum in Kurogiri's mist. Kurogiri turns Black Hole's power against Thirteen by opening a gate behind them. Thirteen is nearly torn in half and is ultimately defeated by the villain.

Ochaco and Mina to rush to Thirteen's side as Tenya makes a break for the door. As Kurogiri chases Tenya, Ochaco notices his neck armor and grabs it. She uses her Quirk to float Kurogiri's real body. He tries to recover, but Hanta and Rikido use their Quirks to throw him farther away. Thanks to all of their help, Tenya makes it out of the U.S.J. to run back to the school.

All Might appears at the U.S.J and rescues Shota from the villains. Ochaco finds Tsuyu and Minoru carrying Shota back and offers to help them. She cheers All Might on during his fight with the villain Nomu. Ochaco is overjoyed when Tenya eventually returns to the fight with reinforcements to save everyone from the League of Villains. In the aftermath of the attack, Class 1-A are debriefed by Detective Tsukauchi. Ochaco and Tenya ask abou Izuku's wellbeing. The police officer confirms Izuku will be fine. Ochaco and all her other peers return to U.A. High uninjured.

Sports Festival Arc
Two days after the attack on the U.S.J., Ochaco and her classmates return to school discuss the attack. Shota returns to class and the students get lectured about the importance of the upcoming U.A. Sports Festival. At lunchtime, Ochaco puts her game face on and emphatically and repeatedly expresses to everyone that she's going to do her best in the festival. Shortly after, Izuku and Tenya ask Ochaco why she wants to become a hero.

Embarrassed, Ochaco explains that she wants to become a hero to make money. This surprises Izuku and Ochaco apologizes for appearing to be greedy. Tenya says that it's perfectly fine to strive to support her own wellbeing. Ochaco explains that her families business hasn't been getting work and that they're poor. Izuku and Tenya state that Ochaco could float the equipment, to which she agrees. She expressed this idea to her father years ago, but he told her that she should achieve her own dreams to make them happy. Now Ochaco strives to become a pro-hero to make enough money to give her parents an easy life.

All Might suddenly appears and takes Izuku out for lunch. Ochaco finds this adorable and excuses Izuku. She joins Tenya for lunch and asks what All Might could want with Izuku. Tenya points out that Izuku helped All Might at the U.S.J and that they both have similar Quirks.

Later on after class, Class 1-A's doorway is blocked by a mob of students. Katsuki points out that they're rival students scouting out the competition and demands that the "extras" move out of the way. A student from the general studies course confronts Katsuki and declares war on Class 1-A. This shocks Ochaco and her peers, who don't know who this student is. Then a student from Class 1-B appears and yells at Katsuki. Ochaco and the others fear everyone hates their class thanks to Katsuki.

Ochaco trains for the next two weeks prior to the festival. On the day of the U.A. Sports Festival, Ochaco gets ready with her classmates in the waiting room. Shoto confronts Izuku and quietly earns Ochaco and everyone else's attention. He declares that he will defeat Izuku, to which Izuku responds that he will aim for the top. Class 1-A is called out onto the festival arena, where Katsuki gives the pledge. Ochaco and the others aren't surprised when all he says is that he will win.

The first round of the festival is an Obstacle Course four kilometers around the outside of the stadium. Ochaco makes it through the doorway despite Shoto's ice attack but is stopped by the "Robo Inferno" blockade of villain bots. Ochaco uses her Skill Release technique to destroy the robots her in path. She eventually makes it to the second leg of the race: "The Fall".

Ochaco and Mina watch Tsuyu effortless traverse the pitfall laced with pillars connected by tightropes. Ochaco questions when the school had time to build this obstacle. Then a student from the support course appears and loudly introducers her gadgets. Ochaco and Mina ask her why she can use those tools. The girl explains students from support can use any tools they develop themselves. She uses her gadgets to cross The Fall, all while wildly announcing it all. Ochaco watches in awe before pumping herself up to continue on.

Ochaco finishes the race in sixteenth place, qualifying her for the second event: the Cavalry Battle. She congratulates Izuku on getting first place. Midnight explains the Cavalry Battle rules. Ochaco points out that each team will have a different point value based on its member's placement in the first event. Midnight yells at Ochaco and Mina to be quiet and allow her to finish explaining.

The Cavalry Battle lasts fifteen minutes, and each team must try to steal opponent headbands that represent point value. Ochaco chooses to team up with Izuku because it's better to team up with friends. They try to recruit Tenya but he refuses because he wants to defeat Izuku and joins Shoto. Mei Hatsume asks to join Izuku so her gadgets can be in the spotlight. Ochaco recognizes her as the girl from the obstacle course, but Mei ignores Ochaco completely.Ochaco takes notice of how well Izuku and Mei start to get along. Izuku recruits Fumikage as the last member of Team Midoriya.

At the start of the event, Team Tetsutetsu traps Team Midoriya using one of their quirks. Ochaco finds herself unable to get free, but Izuku uses Mei's jetpack to get away. Ochaco uses her quirk to float everyone while wearing Mei's hover soles. She steps in one of Minoru's balls and gets her foot stuck to the ground. Team Mineta charges at Team Midoriya and attacks using Minoru and Tsuyu's quirks.

Izuku uses the jetpack to forcibly free Ochaco and takes to the skies once more. This time, they are met by Katsuki who tries to blast them out of the air. Fumikage's Dark Shadow protects the team and Ochaco makes a safe landing. She points out she can no longer fully control their flight path with one of the soles busted. Izuku chooses not to risk it and to rely on their increased mobility from Zero Gravity. Before they get any rest, Team Midoriya is confronted by Team Todoroki.

Team Todoroki and several others attack Ochaco's party all at once. Denki electrocutes the other teams while Dark Shadow protects Team Midoriya. Even with increased mobility, Team Midoriya can't outrun Tenya's team. Izuku skillfully outmaneuvers Team Todoroki for most of the remaining time. With only a minute remaining, Tenya uses a special move to steal Izuku's headband in a blink of an eye. Izuku pleads with his team to counterattack because they don't have another chance. Although Fumikage is hesitant, Ochaco encourages the team and rushes them towards their opponents. Ochaco's support prompts Izuku to use his quirk and attack Shoto head-on.

Izuku manages to grab one of Shoto's headbands. Mei notices that he grabbed the wrong one in the fray. Team Midoriya makes one final push but time runs out. Fumikage reveals to his team that he was able to grab one of Shoto's headbands in the chaos. This gives them enough points to place in fourth, qualifying them all for the final event. Afterward, Ochaco talks to Tenya about keeping his special move a secret. She notices Izuku is missing and asks where he went.

After their lunch break, Denki and Minoru trick the girls of Class 1-A into dressing up as cheerleaders. Momo is devastated to find out they were fooled so Ochaco tries to console her. Midnight draws lots to pick the matchups for the final event: a one on one fighting tournament. Ochaco is matched up against Katsuki, who she's surprised to find that he has no idea who she is. The students are given an intermission before the finals, which Ochaco uses to cheer and calm her nerves.

Izuku fights Hitoshi Shinso in the first fight. Izuku nearly walks out of the ring while under the spell of Hitoshi's quirk. Ochaco and Tenya are worried during the battle, but Izuku eventually comes out on top. All three of them are terrified when Shoto freezes Hanta in a giant wall of ice. After Ibara Shiozaki defeats Denki, Ochaco notices Izuku muttering about counter strategies. He apologizes for thinking out loud and explains this is a hobby of his. He even shows Ochaco his data on her. Ochaco says that Izuku is amazing because of his drive and focus. Ochaco leaves to the waiting room after Tenya's advertisement laced duel with Mei.

Tenya happens upon Ochaco in the waiting room and is scared by her nervous expression. She admits that she is afraid to fight Katsuki. Izuku walks in shortly after and offers a strategy for Ochaco to prevail. Ochaco thanks Izuku for the trouble, but politely declines his offer. She says she may have relied on him too much in the Cavalry Battle and was embarrassed when Tenya chose to be independent of them. Ochaco plans to tackle this challenge on her own and tells Izuku that she'll see him in the finals. Following Eijiro and Tetsutetsu's match, Ochaco and Katsuki enter the fighting stage for the eighth and final fight of the first round.

Katsuki warns Ochaco to withdraw from the match because he's not holding back. She refuses and rushes Katsuki as their battle begins. She knows Katsuki starts the fight with a right hook but is unable to evade his Explosion quirk. She throws her jacket through the smoke as a feint and attacks Katsuki from behind. She nearly touches him, but Katsuki reacts quickly and blasts her away. Ochaco rushes Katsuki repeatedly, forcing him to counter-attack by blasting her with the full force of his explosions. Even after being exploded over and over, Ochaco remains steadfast in standing up to Katsuki.

Ochaco thanks Katsuki for keeping his focus on her. She had been using her quirk to float the debris created by the explosions. Ochaco collected a large amount of rubble that floats above the stadium. Once Katsuki realizes her plan, Ochaco releases the debris and sends a meteor shower falling down on Katsuki. She tries to take advantage of the opening created by her attack and rushes Katsuki.

To Ochaco's complete shock, Katsuki blasts all of the stones away in one massive blast. Katsuki comments that he knew Ochaco had a plan because she's friends with Izuku. Ochaco is discouraged by her failure, but she still tries to fight on. However, she collapses shortly after. Her body has been pushed past its limit and despite her will to go on, Ochaco faints and Katsuki is declared the winner.

Recovery Girl heals Ochaco and she returns to the waiting room. Izuku enters the room, surprised to see her doing well. Ochaco pretends to be optimistic about the fight and Izuku almost notices. Her father calls, but she ignores it to encourage Izuku about his upcoming battle with Shoto. After Izuku leaves, Ochaco calls her father back. He congratulates her on a job well done. Ochaco says she didn't do very well and failed. He heartens his daughter by saying that she will make a great hero and that he's very proud of her.

Ochaco is moved to tears by her dad's words. She wipes her tears away and leaves marks around her eyes from rubbing them. She returns to the stands just as Izuku and Shoto face off. Tenya notices the marks and Fumikage says to use Izuku's battle as inspiration.

As their battle begins, Ochaco ponders how Izuku can avoid Shoto's ice. Izuku eventually inspires Shoto to unleash his flames. Ochaco is surprised to see the full might of Shoto's quirk. After Izuku is defeat, Ochaco joins Tenya, Tsuyu and Minoru visit him in the nurse's office. They're distraught when they learn he needs surgery, but Recovery Girl escorts them out. Ochaco continues to worry about Izuku during the battle between Fumikage and Mina. Izuku returns to the stands after the second round. Ochaco expresses her concerns but Izuku says he wants to watch everyone's hard work pay off.

Ochaco cheers for Tenya during his battle against Shoto. She's disappointed when he's defeated. During Fumikage's bout with Katsuki, Ochaco points out that Fumikage can't attack because of the light created by Katsuki's explosions. She and Izuku welcome Tenya back to the stands after his loss. His phone starts to vibrate, making him shake. Ochaco and Izuku are frightened at first, but Tenya explains. Tenya leaves after answering the phone. He explains that Ingenium was hurt in a fight with a villain. Ochaco and Izuku watch the final fight between Shoto and Katsuki.

Afterward, Ochaco attends the closing ceremony along with all the other festival participants. Following the U.A. Sports Festival, Shota grants Class 1-A two days off from school to recover. The next day, Ochaco returns to her apartment from shopping. She ponders what she'll have for lunch and then notices her door is unlocked. Her parents surprise her with a party to celebrate her achievements in the festival. Ochaco expresses that she's very happy to see them.

Vs. Hero Killer Arc
Two days after the Sports Festival, Ochaco is in class. During the Hero Informatics period, Shota shows the Pro Hero nominations which shows that Ochaco received 20 Pro Hero nominations. Afterwards, Class 1-A has to decide on Hero names. Ochaco writes down and shows her classmates her hero name. Ochaco's reveals her Hero name to be Uravity. Midnight commends Ochaco on the sleek and classiness of her Hero name. After Izuku revealed that his Hero name will be Deku as well as his reason why he chose it, Ochaco smiles.

After Class 1-A is finished formulating their Hero names, Ochaco is given her personalized work place list in order to choose a work place that she wants to train at. Ochaco tells Izuku that she plans to train at Battle Hero Gunhead's Office with Izuku noting that it is an office specializing in combat and thought that she wanted to specialize in life-saving like Thirteen. Ochaco replies, telling Izuku that life saving is her end goal but after her battle with Katsuki, she has realized that she can gain more opportunities if she is stronger with combat training, allowing her to become more efficient at life saving and that sticking in her comfort zone would limit her opportunities. She then notes that Izuku is shaking to which he replies that he is doing an isometric exercise. On the day of the workplace training, Ochaco is at the train station with her class so that she can travel to the workplace of her choice by train. As Tenya walks to his train, Izuku tells Tenya that if he needs someone to talk to he can talk to him and Ochaco (with her nodding in agreement) as they are his friends.

Ochaco arrives at the workplace of her choice which is Gunhead's hero office. Gunhead explains to Ochaco that his hero office specializes in clamping down on crime with most of their requests include backing up the police and that they earn money on commission.

After Stain's defeat is published, Ochaco phones Izuku, asking him if he is alright to which Izuku replies that he, Tenya and Shoto are fine. Ochaco is relieved to hear the news. Ochaco tells him to get rest and that they will talk at U.A.. Ochaco ends the call and prepares to train with Gunhead.

The workplace training comes to an end and Ochaco returns to U.A.. In Class 1-A, Mina, Tsuyu, and Kyoka ask Ochaco how her workplace training was, to which she replies that it was fruitful. During Foundational Hero Studies, Ochaco notes that while Tenya is injured, she thinks that he can still win the race. Ochaco watches the race and is surprised by Izuku's new control of his quirk which permits him to make speedy and athletic movements, which she notes that are like Katsuki's.

After Foundational Hero Studies is finished, Ochaco is in the girls' locker room changing into her school uniform. After school is finished, Ochaco is seen walking home with Izuku and Tenya.

Final Exams Arc
One week before the end of term test, in the lunchroom, Izuku, Tenya, Shoto, Ochaco, Tsuyu and Toru eat at a table, discussing how they will perform on the end of term test; they have high hopes about the written tests but not about the exercise test since they do not know what it is. In class when Katsuki confronts Izuku, Ochaco wonders if Katsuki is referring to Izuku's movements during the Foundational Hero Studies. On the day of the exercise test, Mr. Principal reveals that Class 1-A will be fighting against U.A.'s teachers for their exercise test. Ochaco is paired with Yuga and they must face Thirteen in their test exercise. Ochaco, Yuga and Thirteen arrive in an uninhabited city where Class 1-A's test exercise will take place. In the city, Thirteen explains the 30-minute test; Ochaco and Yuga must either handcuff him or one of them must escape the battlefield within 30 minutes in order to win and pass the test. The test begins.

Ochaco and Yuga reach the escape gate but before they can go through it, Thirteen creates a Black Hole, causing the duo to hold onto a guardrail to prevent themselves from being sucked in. Yuga fires his Navel Laser from his knees (thanks to his Hero Costume) at Thirteen but the attempt fails as Thirteen easily sucks away the lasers. Ochaco tries to think of a plan, causing Yuga to surmise that Ochaco is thinking about what Izuku would do; Yuga then asks Ochaco if she loves Izuku, which shocks Ochaco and makes her heavily blush, causing her to let go of the guardrail out of embarrassment. As a result, Ochaco gets drawn towards Thirteen who is surprised by this. Facing Thirteen directly, Ochaco instinctively uses her combat skills she learned from Gunhead and manages to handcuff Thirteen, allowing her and Yuga to pass the practical test.

Back in class, Ochaco learns that she has passed the written test and will be going to the forest lodge along with her classmates. The next day, most of Class 1-A (except Katsuki and Shoto) go to the Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall, a shopping center that caters for all needs. Most of Class 1-A split up to go and buy their specific needs, leaving Ochaco and Izuku alone. Izuku asks Ochaco what she plans on buying and tells her that he plans on buying heavy wrist weights. Ochaco says that she requires bug repellent; however, she begins blushing as she remembers what Yuga said about Izuku. The blushing and flustered Ochaco then runs off on her own, finding it hard to believe that she actually has a crush on Izuku who is confused by her behavior.

Ochaco soon stopped running, feeling guilty about running away from Izuku and making him confused. Ochaco decides to go back and apologize to Izuku, internally noting that her close friendship with Izuku isn't becoming love.

Ochaco manages to find Izuku and wonders who Izuku is talking to. Izuku tries to tell Ochaco to run. However, Tomura lets go of Izuku and apologizes for interrupting their shopping. Tomura begins leaving and warns Izuku to not give chase. However, Izuku asks Tomura what All For One's ultimate goal is. Tomura gives Izuku his answer; that he doesn't know and doesn't care but warns Izuku that he might kill him. Disappearing into the crowd, Tomura tells Izuku to take care of himself because the next time they meet, he will kill him. Ochaco calls the Police.

School Trip Arc
The Police Force arrive due to Ochaco's call and temporarily close down the Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall to investigate the whereabouts of Tomura.

The next day after the shopping trip at U.A., Shota informs Class 1-A that the destination for their lodge trip has been changed and the new destination will only be announced on the day of the event. The first semester has come to a close and summer break has begun. On the day of the event, Class 1-A boards a bus that will take them to the forest lodge destination. An hour later, Class 1-A’s bus stops for a restroom break. However, Class 1-A notes that Class 1-B isn’t at the rest stop. Suddenly, two females wearing cat-like costumes and a small boy appear; the females excitedly introduce themselves as the professional Hero Team, The Pussycats.

The black haired female explains to Class 1-A that they will be staying at the base of a mountain which is a part of their domain; they have three hours to reach the base of the mountain using their Quirks as they please and those who don’t arrive there by 12:30 pm won’t be served lunch. Soon, Class 1-A realize that they have already arrived at their destination and their training camp has already begun with the Pussycats being their supervisors.

Some of Class 1-A try to leave, but Pixiebob uses her Quirk to create a landslide of dirt that causes Class 1-A to fall into a forest called Forest of Magic Beasts, which they must traverse to reach their destination. Suddenly, Class 1-A are confronted by a beast; Kouji tries using his Quirk to control the beast but it does not work due to the beast being made out of dirt. Izuku, Shoto, Tenya and Katsuki mobilize and use their Quirks to destroy the dirt beast.

After Izuku, Tenya, Shoto and Katsuki destroy the dirt beast, Class 1-A begins traversing the Forest of Magic Beasts. However, the journey through the forest to the Cabin takes around about 8 hours. Class 1-A arrive at the facility, battered and tired. It is now 5:20 pm in the evening. Pixiebob admits that she thought they would take longer to get to the facility.

Class 1-A fetch their luggage from the bus and put it in their rooms. They go to the dining hall to have dinner. After finishing eating dinner, Class 1-A go to the hot springs.

The next day at 5:30 AM, Class 1-A are outside the training camp cabin. Shota greets his students and tells them that they will undergo reinforcement training to strengthen and upgrade their Quirks which will allow Class 1-A to obtain their temporary licenses.

During the night of the third day, Ochaco and Tsuyu are paired together for the test of courage. A few minutes later, the Vanguard Action Squad attacks; Himiko attacks Ochaco and Tsuyu in which Ochaco's arm was slightly wounded due to the ambush.

A few moments earlier before the Bakugo Escort Squad was formed, Tsuyu and Ochaco are fighting Himiko Toga who managed to slightly wound Ochaco’s arm. Himiko notes that her Quirk requires her to make big wounds in order to suck her targets’ blood. However, thanks to her machine, her Quirk’s weakness is compensated by the machine’s ability to drain blood from tiny wounds. Himiko begins to attack, to which Tsuyu responds to by flinging Ochaco away with her tongue.
