As of Chapter 375 of My Hero Academia, Ochako Uraraka is in a perilous situation, and some viewers are calling for her to use her Quirk to save the day. At the Gunga Mountain Villa, Kohei Horikoshi has been shaping a conflict that promises to be extremely tense. The damage to Endeavor and Hawks has been considerable, but they still have to face an AFO that has been repaired, as well as reinforcements from Dabi and additional Twice clones. It does not seem good for them in My Hero Academia Chapter 375. Kurogiri’s portals have also brought Ochako Uraraka and Himiko Toga here. In this chapter of My Hero Academia, Ochako is clearly the underdog, what with all the other powerful characters on the battlefield. Many fans believe that only a Quirk awakening can give her a fighting chance.
An outline of her “Zero-G” Quirk
As of the events of Chapter 375 of My Hero Academia, Ochako is mostly a rescue hero. She has experience in martial arts, although she’d rather be a supporting player. Thanks to her Zero Gravity Quirk, she can make everything she touches float in midair. A common way she puts her Quirk to use is to collect trash from a disaster zone. She can clear debris from disaster areas, get some distance, and protect herself from floating rubble. Even better, Ochako can defy gravity by removing her own weight, allowing her to fly and roam about more freely than ever before.
My Hero Academia Chapter 375 reveals, however, that Ochako’s Quirk is far from perfect. She can only carry so many things before she starts to have trouble. To make matters worse, she has to be within a particular range for the Quirk to work, which is difficult to do while up against long-range fighters like AFO or Dabi.
Dedicated followers beseech Horikoshi to “wake up” her Quirk.
Naturally, Ochako’s Quirk awakening may be the answer to his difficulties. One of the rare times a person may actually grow their abilities when under pressure. In light of the events in Chapter 375 of My Hero Academia, a number of fans have tweeted like the one above, pleading for Horikoshi to show some affection for Ochako. Given that only villains have experienced Quirk awakenings so far, it would be refreshing to watch heroes experience them for a change. Relatedly, readers may be interested in seeing Ochako meet Shoto Todoroki, another kid in Ochako’s Class 1-A. By now, he ought to be on his way to where Dabi is.
Following the events of My Hero Academia Chapter 375, fans will only be able to guess her true Quirk potential. As one user pointed out, it must be powerful enough for Ochako to plausibly share the battlefield with AFO. It’s true that not all fans think Ochako needs a jolt of Quirk awakening. Don’t make the same mistake AFO did with Kyoka Jiro in Chapter 355 and forget that AFO’s worst flaw is underestimating his opponents. However, the vast majority of readers want Ochako to finally use her abilities.
The situation at Gunga Mountain Villa, where Ochako and the other heroes are hiding out, is looking dire at the moment. If there are that many clones of Twice in the same place, she will be overwhelmed. To use her abilities, she has to grab all of them, but that’s impossible. When contrasted with the series’ most powerful heroes and villains, Ochako certainly stands out in the panel below. Naturally, supporters should never give up hope in the underdog.
As a conclusion
By the time Chapter 375 of My Hero Academia was published, the villains had begun to make a reappearance. Ochako’s Zero Gravity Quirk might require a complete update at some time. All the readers can do is pray that Horikoshi equips her with the tools she needs to stay alive in the fight.
