Ochaco smiling a lot and being happy isn't someone she's pretending to be, its just another aspect of her character.

And yes there were times were she had put on a happy face to hide her true feelings.

The character arc of Ochako Uraraka

I think the biggest problem with Ochako was thinking of her feelings as a burden to other people. She just doesn't wants to be a bother to anyone and that's why whatever she has to say or what's going on her mind isn't important to her and she just keeps bottling it all up.

Pretty ironic when you remember the fact that she wants to become a hero who can lift the burden of other people.

I think, it emerges from her own household where her parents worked so hard just to keep food on the table. By the Bonus Material that Horikoshi added it can be seen how far she's willing to go to save money i.e. how far she's willing to go to not be a bother and while wanting to help her parents is a very good thing but going on extreme lengths to do so and then giving birth to a new set of problems definitely isn't.

Instances of Ochako's bottling up her feelings:

She doesn't even talks about herself. She told Izuku in the Cavalry Battle that it's better to team up with people you're friends with but later revealed that how bad and ashamed she felt for relying on him. The problem here is also that she's too critical of herself. She knows her limits (after her brawl with Bakugo, she knew she lost because she didn't have a back-up plan, in season 5 also she admitted that she should have been a bit more calm) and while that is a good thing, she just overvalued other people way too much.

Even after her battle with Bakugo when Deku comes to check if she's okay, she pretends as if nothing happened and all his worries were for nothing. Because again, it was her loss and she wouldn't want Deku getting bothered by it. So she just puts on a fake cherry smile and wishes Deku luck for his match only for him to overhear her crying in her phonecall with her parents.

She has strong feelings, opinions and motivations but she wouldn't let anyone be bothered by it. She has a side that gets jealous, that is insecure, that is strong willed but she wouldn't let it show.

Another big instance is when she refused to go for the Bakugo Rescue in Kamino. She knows Bakugo well to understand that he wouldn't like receiving help from people he looks down on. She thought too much about what Bakugo would think and it all ended up in vain when Izuku and gang went anyway and saved Bakugo from the LoV. Just like Asui at that time she felt sad and maybe ashamed but she never said anything like that during that time and yet it was brought up again in the recent manga.

Why? Because it was yet another example of her ideology that her opinion is not necessary which is wrong since her take on this matter was damn important!!

Despite her own second thoughts on the matter she suggested how Bakugo who was the victim, would feel about all this and that lead to Deku deciding that it would be Kirishima to offer help.

Her biggest development in the Pro Hero Exam?

Come to think of it, it was one of my least favourite arcs because how less of Ochako it had. Most characters in MHA learn from their mistakes but ever since her battle with Bakugo it felt like Ochako was never making any mistakes and suddenly been reduced to nothing but a love interest. This scene right here is also probably one of the most misunderstood or misinterpreted scene in MHA.

Ochako decides to completely her feelings away for Deku might have been a good thing on the short term basis but if we look at the impact it had on the larger scheme of things, we can see how big the concequences were. She thought that again, her own feelings are very unnecessary and just a burden on Deku and his Hero career and even for herself, so she decides to put it all away but it's just partial as stated by Toga in chapter 288.

"When you keep bottling it all up it only grows on the inside"

Which is true because ever since the pro hero exam it feels like despite not admitting to herself or Deku, her crush has only gotten stronger like seriously Chako, you say that you don't like him and yet to keep that All Might Keychain safe and close for your dear life!

So yeah while it might look like a character development on her part, it was one of the biggest mistakes Ochako has made in the entire series! And she was forced to face the consequences of it when Deku left UA and she couldn't do anything anymore. She was forced to face all of it and finally admitting how much of a dummy he is!

Some moments of realisations

One of my favourite thing about MHA is how realistic the characters are written. Despite Ochako not admitting her feelings much often, she does have her own moments of truth.

Before her brawl with Bakugo she admitted that they were all rivals and she wants to get stronger too.

After the Bakugo Rescue she admits that they were all uneasy.

After Sir Nighteye died, she admits to herself that she wants to save people.

In season 5 she admitted how dangerous hero work is and acknowledged how Deku's power hurts him too.

She has a parallel to Bakugo in a way that goes around announcing his motivations to the whole world while she cannot even admit it to herself. She looks up on other people so much that she doesn't looks at her own strength and while idolizing Deku had its own merits, what about her own capabilities?

After Sports Festival she went to learn some Martial arts because she needed more combat experience.

After the Black whip incident she attaches grappling hooks to her costume which gives her more mobility in air and ability to grab people and things from distances (obviously) giving her much needed ranged moves.

But where is her mastery over Zero Gravity?

Where is her use of her actual power?

Their is a big reason why the name for Toga vs Uraraka 2.0 was "Miss Candid vs Miss Shut away". Toga here is the candid one! She is honest because she has learned it the hard way (during her quirk awakening) that the transformation is only external. She tries telling that to Ochako but well, wrong place, wrong time.

Despite being the more Frank person of the group Ochako is not honest to herself and even Horikoshi has stated in his bonus Material that she has no hidden sides to her *wink* *wink* What's the meaning of this?

Obviously, Ochako has a secret side. A dual personality of some sort, that is not the cherry girl we're used to seeing on regular basis. The one that is insightful, brave and doesn't give a shit about what other people have to say and we finally witness it after the war arc when Deku leaves UA.

Now that is not to say we haven't have seen that side of her in pieces even before the war ended. She has shown her sheer wit and determination in Ocha vs Bakugo.

She shows her thoughtful side in season 5 when she acknowledged how hard it is to be a hero and her philosophy on saving other heroes in need.

We have seen it all in tiny bits and pieces though she herself thinks of them as something insignificant, as something not necessary. She just goes along with everyone and never truly admits to the situation because that will lead her to admitting her own flawed thinking.

During the war arc, both her philosophy and her Candidness were put to a test and she was made to face the harsh realities of war. She saw Toga crying, she saw casualties, she saw heroes giving up, she saw the society and the hero system fall apart right infront of her and for someone who originally wanted to do it as a job it was an especially important moment that Ochako had to witness.

And finally her breaking point was when Deku leaves UA. It wasn't the only thing that changed her forever but rather the series of events that followed the events of war but it had to be one of the most shocking ones.

After the kids make an epic return in chapter 319, we see the true side of Ochako Uraraka. The real one that is not faking things just for the sake of keeping the environment tension free. She is still a figure of reassurance for her fellow classmates and family but she is no longer thinking too much about how other people would think, infact she doesn't give a damn!

She is calm, determined and decisive.

She was the major advocate in bringing Izuku back to UA and it just only goes to show how far she has come, both as a hero and as a person.

No longer just a love interest

Btw these are with reference to a post by Mr.Fanboy on YouTube.

Always nice to see Uravity getting some much needed appreciation.

Here is the first half of your art request, @dekenak! ^-^

(Transparent, gray, and black backgrounds are under the cut, plus close-ups of some parts that I really like and a version with no bubble :])

Please ignore the hands, jesus christ is it hard to make them look decent in a more cartoony style 💀

(And they look uh, rough, to say the least, because of the canvas size, I'll try to remember to use a bigger one in the future TTvTT)

My inability to draw hands aside, this was an absolute blast to work on!!

I'm super proud of the boots, I think they turned out awesome :D

I have no idea where this -artistic capability- came from all of a sudden, but I can't say I'm complaining bahahaha

I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day, friends! 🧡

Yours truly, Stickbug 🪲

GOOD MORNING????!!#?#?#()#? NEW TOGACHAKO ART JUST DROPPED

“Ochako is the love interest with no character or personality” no. I want people to portray her as she really is; a girl who suppresses her emotions who just wants everyone to be happy and not be a bother, while currently being done with all the traumatic shit that’s happening

She keeps quiet till a boiling point, she worries her little heart out until she collapses, it’s hard for her to be vulnerable because she’s been keeping her mouth shut for so long that she doesn’t know how to express her feelings, and that’s when she actually knows how she feels, not how she should feel

She’s the daughter of a working class family, who only ever wanted them and others to be happy, to keep smiling, and we see that this stems from her upbringing because she was exposed to all the frustration of her parents working long hours and financial struggles. She was so exposed to it that at a young age (we can probably assume around 14-15 years old), she moved out and got her own apartment. She didn’t eat because she wanted to save money because, you know, she lived alone and needed to afford rent, food and other necessities - she’s independent to a fault

She’s so focused on working, on getting the job done, being a girlboss and getting that cash money for her family, on saving people, on making a difference however small she can. She doesn’t have to be The Savior Of The World in order to want to get out there. She’s giving, kind, goofy (because she likes it when people smile and laugh, when she herself is smiling and laughing) and she does have some inner demons that she’d rather sweep under the rug than address

If you’re to say “she has no personality”, it’s because she’s crafted herself to always be happy while turning around and telling others to express themselves. She’s so focused on being happy that she struggles so much with being sad or expressing inner thoughts

Currently, she seems to be at her wits end, struggling to come to terms with what she should do, trying to keep positive but very much lost in her own thoughts, trying to keep a smile on her face because she wants to be happy, but how can she with such a dilemma in her hands and an incoming second war? And if you remember what she went through with the first war, it was chaos, running around and trying to be in two places at once, just trying to save as many people as she could. If that were to happen again, would she able to handle it? No, she’d have to be able to handle it. It’s not like she can back out, what kind of Hero would she be then? She always has to be able to handle it, as the independent-to-a-fault person she is

In many ways, she’s trying to stay determined but she’s tired. She’s been through so much and it shows. (And letting just a little of that stress go, talking to her friend, has helped. It hasn’t solved the situation but, it seems to have helped with getting those feelings off her chest. To know that, really, she’s not alone, even when she thinks she is. Which is something she desperately needed to learn)

There’s a lot you could do with that kind of background on her character. There’s a lot you could write about and analyze

I’m unsure as to what Hori will do with her exactly, in what manner he will end her character, but the fact that I just told you what I got from what we’ve been shown, should tell you that her personality, her character, is there. It means that Hori has shown her as an actual person, rather than “just the love interest”

They are GIRLFRIENDS my lord!!!

I haven’t posted in a while cause of inktober so I’m gonna try make small drawings like these in between ( ◠‿◠ )
