One of the greatest parts of an anime picking up in popularity is the community that forms behind it. What's a great anime without a handful of friends to share it with? The My Hero Academia fandom has been growing over the years and doesn't show any sign of slowing down as the story is coming to a critical climax. However, aside from the engaging story, another source of My Hero Academia's popularity is its loveable cast.
Each hero (and villain) has its own charms and has a strong following behind them. Ochako Uraraka, a.k.a. Uravity, is one of the main protagonists of the series and naturally, has a large following behind her. Here are a few of the most hilarious Ochako memes the My Hero Academia fandom has made in honor of the adorable hero in training.
10 Equal Levels Of Cuteness
This is a fantastic take on this meme from The Office, this time drawing attention to the eerie similarities between Ochako and video game legend, Kirby. The task of finding any differences between these two would keep just about anyone busy for a whole afternoon.
On paper, the two sound very alike; both are pink, round, adorable, and can even float. What an incredible coincidence! Ochako should be honored to be compared to such a well-loved mascot of gaming.
9 Clownin' Around
Ironically, It doesn't seem like the type of film the cheery Ochako would particularly enjoy, but her taking the role of the terrifying Pennywise in this scene from the 1990 original is just too fitting. Although Pennywise was being mischievous in this particular scene and trying to lure young Georgie to his untimely death, Ochako surely wouldn't be as conniving.
Her expression may seem a bit off-putting, but the kind and caring Ochako would never hurt a soul (other than a dangerous villain). With Ochako's unique quirk, just about anyone can float.
8 Everyone Can Appreciate The Honesty
This hilarious meme of a Twitter interaction between Uravity and the U.A. High School Twitter paints a rather accurate portrait of Ochako's main source of motivation. Although it may sound a bit blunt, Ochako did in fact mention that her main motivation for becoming a pro hero was for money.
Some may foolishly assume that Ochako means she wants more disposable income and may be a greedy or materialistic person, but that's far from the truth.
This meme may be hilarious, but it's important to remember that Ochako's blunt response came from her generous desire to earn a steady income to support and spoil her family.
7 Surprised Pi-chako
The "Surprised Pikachu" meme was making its rounds all over the internet this year and it never gets old. Pikachu's surprised yet deadpan expression perfectly captures the feeling of being caught off guard in an obviously predictable situation.
After Ochako made a similar expression, fans couldn't help but notice the similarities between her and the infamous meme. Yet another great video game/anime mascot that Ochako gets the honor of being compared to. Looks like Pikachu has a new competitor in the meme market.
6 A Match Made In Heaven
For all those Deku x Ochako shippers out there, this meme is the perfect mix of hilarity and romance. This adorable meme features a throwback to young Deku, still Quirkless and ready to watch his favorite All Might video. Upon the second watch, it's clear that this face that Ochako makes mirrors Deku's priceless excited expression.
Whether fans ship the two or not, no one can deny how adorable it is that Deku and Ochako are so likeminded that their similarities even go deep enough as their facial expressions.
5 Ochako Ora Ora
No anime is safe from the Jojo fandom and this time, Ochako is the main target. Many of the My Hero Academia characters have very unique names that are immediately recognizable. While Uravity is her hero name, Ochako's full name is Ochako Uraraka.
The famous "ora ora" catchphrase all Jojo fans know and love just so happens to fit perfectly into Ochako's family name. While "ora" doesn't have an exact English translation, it's used as somewhat of a battle cry and immediately shakes any enemies.
Perhaps this simple change to her name will finally make the adorable Uravity appear more intimidating.
4 Fairly Close To The Source Material
No compilation list is ever truly complete without the inclusion of the classic "Netflix Adaptation" meme. This meme has incredible versatility value and can work with just about any favorite character resulting in a hilarious outcome. This is the classic's take on Ochako and what fans apparently predict Netflix's version of bubbly hero to be Uravity would look like.
Kirby must be difficult to cast, so perhaps a Netflix adaptation of My Hero Academia wouldn't be all bad in the end. After all, Kirby definitely matches Ochako's level of cuteness.
3 If The Hairdo Fits
While Ochako has been compared to the likes of pink characters like Kirby from time to time, this Twitter user couldn't help but crack a joke about the similarities between Ochako and the female Pokemon trainer in Pokemon Sword And Shield. The moment fans saw the female Pokemon trainer, Gloria, in the trailers for the game, My Hero Academia fans were quick to point out how similar her hairstyle was to Ochako's.
Perhaps the path of Gym Leader is what is destined for Ochako's future. (Sorry, Deku!)
2 1 To 5 Business Days
In one of the most relatable (and timely) memes, Ochako channels her inner shopping addict. In the day and age of the internet and online retailers becoming more and more readily available and relevant, it's difficult to resist the urges of online shopping.
Whether it be to avoid leaving the house for groceries or to treat oneself to a fun new reward for all the hours of hard work or classes, purchasing items with a simple click of a button can be addictive.
While the act of purchasing is instant gratification, the shipping time can feel like a long, agonizing wait.
Ochako (and the rest of us) could use a lesson in patience! A watched package never arrives.
1 Trying To Sail The Ship On Her Own
This hilarious edit is a perfect capture of how boldly shooting one's shot truly looks. Not only is Ochako trying to send the very obvious message to a very oblivious Deku, but she's also doing it publicly on Twitter! Ironically, this kind of move is definitely not something the canon Ochako would ever dream of pulling.
Ochako is a sweet girl and is very timid; so for her to be this bold must mean her feelings are genuine.
Unfortunately, for fans, Ochako won't be sending Deku a message any time soon as she's decided to prioritize her dreams and temporarily set her feelings aside.
Everyone's rooting for you, Uravity!
