Interpretation 1: Ochako and Izuku were indeed dating during the 8 years and we just didn’t see it.
Interpretation 2: They start dating from the end of the chapter onwards.
“This is the worst time for an Izuocha confession! It would be terrible for Ochako!”

I genuinely don’t understand how this would be a bad time for deku & Ochako to confess? Why can’t they talk about both romance AND about their traumas and villains?
We’re obviously getting some angst mixed in with this guys. It’s not going to be that cut & dry.
The “explanation” is the exact same reason as why Ochako and Himiko seemingly turned into toddlers when they were in the sky: Symbolism. That’s all that this panel ever was.
Ochako was Izuku’s first true friend and supported him all through the series. Katsuki bullied Izuku for most of his life, including tell him to kill himself, and only turned around about a month in universe ago.
Of course Ochako is his hero.

I don’t ship Izuocha in spite of being an Ochako fan. I ship Izuocha because I’m an Ochako fan. I believe that if the climax of fight has saying that she loves him, it’s perfectly reasonable to expect these feelings to get addressed.
I hate that people are saying that “Ochako was freed from being a love interest” because Izuocha wasn’t explicitly confirmed. It’s as if they are saying that a girl being in love with a boy and dating him makes her less of a character.
Deku it's really hard to defend you sometimes
bro is so down bad he's hyperventilating over a dollar store snack and a phone call just cuz it's from Ochako
Instead Horikoshi decided to draw the two of them in snow alone together and gave her a costume addition that very clearly resembles Deku’s mask. That’s not how you write a character “moving on” from their crush.
#izuocha
“realistic depiction of a teenage crush”
If the story was going to go the route of Ochako “realistically losing her feelings for Deku” why did it skip past writing it after spending the entire manga building up her *not* suppressing her feelings?
You cannot be a fan of Katsuki while downplaying how malicious he was. He wasn’t some tsundere with poor communication skills he was a spoiled brat with a violent temper.
thinking about how kat was watching after izuku to make sure he didn't jump. katsuki was terrified of izuku applying to UA because he didn't want izuku to get hurt.
him telling izuku to jump was his way of saying: "you can't be a hero without a quirk... you'll get hurt, deku."
Literally one of the points of her character arc is learning that she should be open with feelings towards Izuku. The story clearly says that she envies Himiko because, unlike herself, the latter has the confidence to freely express what she loves.
Ochako: “I am literally in love with Izuku Midoriya. I envy Himiko Toga because she freely expresses what she loves while I have had difficulty with that.”
🧡💚s: “Clearly her arc is about her moving on from Deku!”
Either they’re already dating by the end or Ochako planned to leave confessing until after she helped Deku become a quirkless hero. I’ve said this a lot, but there’s no way anyone can seriously say that her love for him was a “highschool crush.”
i think a lot of people forget that izuku is her FIRST LOVE and the fact she still didn’t confessed about her love i know she struggled “MOVING ON” (if she did). First love is unforgettable. i personally think she didn’t moved on and no its not just a HIGH SCHOOL CRUSH.
#izuocha
at least gay ships have the excuse that the author can’t canonise them in the most popular magazine in a conservative country what’s izch’s excuse? other than being so bland that even Hori didn’t gaf about them as a couple by the end of the series lmaooo
#MHASpoilers
#MHA428
So…what are the chances that the series ends with Izuocha having twins that they name Tenko and Himiko? I know that idea might be a tad controversial, even among those who like the ship.
Peoples inability to understand that Ochako was dying because she was actively straining herself for several minutes while her unattended wound was pouring blood out will never not be funny.
#MHASpoilers
@KatsuGo558955
Ochako’s arc is literally about she shouldn’t repress her feelings for Izuku. She envies Himiko because the latter is open with her feelings.
“Boring” aka it’s straight and neither side has abused or stabbed the other side lol.
Also “underdeveloped” when it’s by far the most developed ship featuring either character canonically.
Yes,
#izuocha
technically isn’t canon yet. But it’s a lot closer to being canon than any other romantic relationship involving either Deku or Ochako. Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.
Reminder that the final chapter shows Deku’s story is a book he wrote. And it’s confirmed Ochako narrated the dark Deku arc, so he asked for her thoughts so he could write them down. So she helped him write that book. Spinner also did as he narrated mva. Pretty sick details
I think that Horikoshi just didn’t have confidence in his own ability to write a confession and so thought that it would be better to leave it open ended. Plus, he likely wanted to create a sense of isolation for Deku in the final chapter.
Literally every piece of spin off media promotes Izuocha in some way yet we’re expected to believe by some that Horikoshi was writing a subversion and her arc was about letting go of these feelings.
Why couldn’t Horikoshi complete this plot line, man?
I love Horikoshi, he’s a great artist and writer, but man I’m disappointed that he didn’t cross the finish line with Izuocha. The fact is, Ochako’s feelings for Deku are a major part of her character.
I want to believe they are canon and end up happily ever after together. I feel like I'm going crazy for thinking that this is plausible and logical. I don't know if I'm biased about believing this or if it seems like the reasonable ending for them. What do you think?
#izuocha
I just want to know their actual relationship. Did she ever tell Izuku how she felt about him? If not, why, and will she tell him in future?
Her feelings are the one big thing left in the air at the moment.
I like the MHA ending a lot.
Like quite a lot, honestly.
I just want more details about the other students. Please give me this final wish, volume extras.
This fanbase is so funny man. What do you mean that Ochako said being in love with Izuku (a boy with no other love interests) is part of who she is and afterwards he said called her his Hero, and yet people will deny that their relationship is meant to be romantic?
Horikoshi really had Ochako say that being in love with Izuku (who’s clearly attracted to her) was a core part of herself and afterwards had Izuku call Ochako his hero, and yet some people will still deny that their relationship is meant to be romantic.
I think it’s funny how these people are so against the idea of Deku winning despite him being one half of their ship. It reinforces my idea that they consider Izuku to be Katsuki’s accessory and don’t really care about Izuku as a character.
Well, well, well… A bkdk - specifically @/amie_bkdk - encouraging cheating.
“How are they encouraging cheating?”, you ask? The official accounts have made it abundantly clear that a single individual using multiple devices to vote is CHEATING and that they have ways of detecting
“Horikoshi wrote a subversion! Deku and Katsuki may seem like Shonen rivals but they’re actually in love with each other! And Ochako’s arc is about her moving on from Izuku and falling in love with a serial killer!”
How can anyone not like Izuocha man it’s such a cute and wholesome ship?
(This is a rhetorical question I know the reason why people hate it is that it gets in the way of other ships lol)
Seeing a Izuku/Katsuki shipper trying to pair off Ochako with the mass murderer she spent five total minutes with because they want to get Ochako out of Deku’s way will never not be funny. Ochako literally said in the fight that she was in love with Izuku and before the…
Assuming that they’re not already dating, then Izuku and Ochako would have to get together at some point post canon. I cannot see them getting with anyone else (unless they unfortunately break up anyway).
Unless they both become volcels, Izuocha is inevitable.
I’ve said this before, but I think the reason why we didn’t get explicit Izuocha confirmation is because Horikoshi didn’t feel like he could write a confession scene and fir it into the story, and so he thought that it would be better to leave it open ended while hinting it.
I’d love to share my thoughts on this ship and what I think about the people who try to push it as canon, however I’d rather not get banned. So for now I’ll simply say that I don’t like it.
These people never consider that Ochako suddenly falling out of love with Izuku off screen after the climax of her final fight had her admit her love for him would be an TERRIBLE way to end her character.
She’s in love with Izuku Midoriya. This is not an opinion but a fact.
@G0LIATH1999
The reason why Deku all of the sudden feel like he can reach Ochako without worrying stuff and being awkward, is cuz he knows she is crying for Toga, a GIRL, and he can relate to that feeling, he very likely knows that she has moved on from him.
People need to understand that a “headcanon” is an extra bit of information that can fit into canon without contradicting it. “Ochako and Izuku are dating in the epilogue” can fit while “Ochako is a lesbian with comphet” can’t.
Any casual viewer who watches My Hero Academia is going to come to the conclusion that Izuku and Ochako have feelings for each other. You don’t even have to like the ship to come to that conclusion.
I think it is strange how people treat the idea of izuocha as a fanon ship concept where there is in text romantic context surrounding 80% of their interaction. You don’t even need to read deeply in the text compared with other ships involving them, it straight up shows you
Ochako: “I am literally in love with Izuku Midoriya and that is part of who I am!”
People who claim to be her fans: “It was just a Highschool crush and she moved on.”
I’d have a lot more respect for these people if they just admitted that they don’t care about her feelings lol.
“If Deku was in these pictures you’d take it as evidence for Izuocha!” If Deku replaced Toga in these drawings everyone would consider him a Mineta level pervert lol. Ochako is not comfortable with what’s going on here, she straight up looks drugged in the first pic.
Hopefully chapter 394 getting animated will remind Horikoshi that Ochako and Izuku were meant to get together, lol. (I love his work but why did he leave this plot line unresolved?)
It’s infuriating when people use the first page in order to prove that “Ochako didn’t want to be in love with Deku” when the story presents her pushing down her feelings as a BAD thing. Part of the point of her arc is that she should be open with her feelings.
#MHASpoilers
#mha429
The “Ochako loved Himiko back” people don’t seem to realise that it would actually make Ochako’s character worse. Aside from the illogical idea that Ochako would develop romantic feelings for a mass murderer, the idea of her having those feelings (cont)
The only real question is whether they started dating during the timeskip or they’ll get together post series.
There’s no way either character will get with any else lol.
it doesn't matter if there was an on-screen Izuocha confession or not
the problem is that it was left ambiguous whether they're together or not when it shouldn't have been. luckily it was left vague enough to be elaborated on later, cuz those two are literally made for each other
Reminder that Izuku very clearly has a crush on the girl who’s in love with him. How else are we meant to interpret his and Ochako’s relationship if not romantically?
#mha424
#MHASpoilers
The LOV being alive would not fix societies wrongs as they would inevitably spend the rest of their lives in prison, hated by the masses. Any societal change was always going to come from Izuku and friends.
The world failed them a lot, but the saddest thing is that the guilty will never be punished, no one will learn from their mistakes and society will continue to ignore new tenko, touya, toga, twice, spinner and more.
I interpret an “Izuocha Movie” to mean a movie in which Izuku and Ochako are officially an item and they’re both the main characters, but it’s still very much an action movie where they’re facing a new villain as opposed to a literal romcom.
I think an Izuocha movie would be cool actually.
if not within the manga manga itself, that's the best way to show the conclusion to their relationship.
a light novel or audio drama would be too obscure
Reminder that you cannot be an Ochako fan and yet reduce her feelings for Izuku to a “High-school Crush” or think that her “moving on” without ever confessing would be good for her character.
We see Ochako in the helicopter with Pixie Bob as she opens her eyes and whispers "you can do it...!". The US president orders all of their heroes to be sent to Japan and we see panels of different characters saying "do your best! (Eri, Kota, Tsukauchi, , etc.)
#MHA422
“Izuocha is boring” people when they end up in a loving, healthy relationship with a supportive partner (relationships need to have violent conflict to be interesting).
If anyone tries to claim that Ochako’s feelings for Deku weren’t romantic or that she moved on from him just send them this page, it’s so easy lol. If they still try and argue against her love for him after that then you might as well just mute or block them.
@MightyGazelle1
Spinner is basically brain dead, but he could potentially be healed if Izuku actually gets AFO and takes away his excess Quirks. Tomura could also stick around as a vestige inside of Izuku.
@Raiden822
“Ochako deserves to be with someone who prioritises her” and that person is apparently Himiko Toga, the serial killer she’s spent a total of five minutes with who also falls in love with anything that has blood including literal animals.
Of course Horikoshi didn’t intended for Izuku and Katsuki to have a romantic relationship lol. They’re two of the most sibling coded characters that I’ve ever seen.
Ochako canonically has zero romantic feelings for Himiko and views her the same way that Deku views Tomura. She envies Toga because Toga expresses freely what she loves while Ochako has difficulty with expressing what she loves (Izuku Midoriya).
I like Kami/Jirou. It’s an adorable ship, and it’s pretty obvious that Horikoshi intended for their relationship to be romantic. However, I find it weird when people (not actual Kami/Jirou shippers mind you) try to argue that it has more canon development than Izuocha. (Cont)
