As An IzuOcha Shipper…

…them not ending up together isn’t the problem.

Horikoshi taking the “leave it up to interpretation” approach and then proceeding to COMPLETELY AVOID ADDRESSING their relationship status is the problem.

Horikoshi failing to tie up that one last loose end for Uraraka’s character arc (not closing off her feelings) is the problem.

Again, I ship IzuOcha. Still do, because I’m stubborn. Would I have liked for them to end up together, even if it was only a somewhat blatant implication that could be handwaved? Obviously. But you know what? Maybe I would be upset if the story went out of its way to explicitly de-confirm any chance of Midoriya and Uraraka being a romantic pairing, but I’d at least respect it and understand it a lot more if the story let Midoriya and Uraraka actually talk about this, or at the very least SHOWED US them talking about this. I’d understand if Uraraka completed her character arc by having a heart to heart with Midoriya and telling him that her feelings have changed, her priorities have changed, and Midoriya understands and they remain good friends. Let’s be real, romance isn’t Horikoshi’s strong suit, despite his many attempts to leave romantic implications throughout the series. I’d completely understand if he just had Midoriya and Uraraka talk and they didn’t end up together, because at least then it still provides both of their characters with closure.

But no, that’s too simple. Let’s just “leave it up to interpretation,” because it clearly wasn’t that important, right?

Well, as many people on the internet have already brought up, if it wasn’t so important, why did you spend so much time putting emphasis on it? Why did you have Uraraka, up until the FINAL WAR, have her crush on Midoriya be a crucial part of her character (it wasn’t her only character trait, mind you, but it was still important)? Why did the penultimate chapter have the class come to comfort Uraraka and tell her that they can talk to her… and then come the next chapter, Uraraka apparently hasn’t done anything regarding her supposed crush on Midoriya? For literal YEARS!?

…see, this isn’t even a shipping problem anymore. This is a character problem.

Horikoshi, for whatever reason, chose not to include a romance for the main character and his supposed love interest. And again, that’s fine, not every story needs to be a romance. Two problems with it here though (well, one problem and an observation):

1) Choosing to not at least address the romantic subplot with a “I think we’re better off as friends” encounter, thus actually concluding the subplot and providing a sense of closure, not only leaves the result feeling underwhelming and frustrating, but also actively damages Uraraka’s character arc. We can have her address the problem that caused people like Toga to exist, but heaven forbid she talks about romance with Midoriya.

2) Despite his supposed aversion to romance, Horikoshi still went out of his way to give Gentle and La Brava wedding rings… he’s willing to establish a side romantic pairing without bringing too much attention to it, but he can’t be bothered to do something similar for the arguable MAIN pairing? It’s the “Togata has special clothes so he doesn’t end up buck naked, but Hagakure’s still gotta go commando” debacle again…

I’ma go ahead and wrap this up ‘cause I don’t wanna keep y’all much longer, but like… being optimistic, this ending was… functional. I’ve got my problems with it, obviously, I don’t think it was BAD bad… but it certainly wasn’t good. It works. Barely. And it’s ‘cause of stuff like this.

Midoriya and Uraraka didn’t need to end up together, truly. All Horikoshi had to do was put the smallest amount of effort and give us something of substance, something with closure. Instead, we got what we got.

I get that he was exhausted and wanted the manga to be over… but that excuse only holds up for so long.

why did my teachers think it was okay to give us like one single weekend to finish all of our midterm projects and study for our tests.

im scared of the wider fandom so i came here to bother you instead, because you have the most based takes

ok so. i feel like as a kid, orochimaru had a weird crush on hiruzen. exact same vibe as kid kabu's crush on oro. they admired and resented him, because he was everything they wanted to be (the hokage, master of almost all ninjutsu), but he was also holding them back. not letting them fulfill their true potential. to them, he was a wall they could never climb over, a constant one-sided struggle to overcome their sensei.

of course, all of that culminated in them killing him. they clearly take immense joy in the act, even pleasure. it distinctly mirrors kabuto after sasuke killed orochimaru; this sort of manic desire for something to struggle against. some kind of authority holding them back, someone for them to really sink their teeth into. as a child, they attached themself to him because they had no one else. and he indulged that bond, showing them just enough kindness, just enough love to keep them dependent, but never enough to make them feel like they were worth it. hiruzen saw orochimaru as both his child, and a dangerous parasite. orochimaru saw hiruzen as both their dad, and their prison warden.

do u fuck w/ the kabuto parallels or am i getting too freudian. lmao. anyways thats all uhh sorry for bothering u, love ur posts, keep up the good work o7

my take isnt even that good compared to most of my priv moots, im just an average viet with 3/5 reading comprehension🧍

its just really fucking weird out there with all the anti-intellectual kids online

i honestly only post slightly lukewarm orokabu take for 5 followers, two of them russians and one of them chinese, they dont even speak english, ik im cooking when they liked my posts

ALSO Yes please do bother me about more oro and kabuto's hcs I'm desperate to talk more about them than skimming fat of their *gesturing at all of them*

I fully agree with you about Oro's admiration toward Hiruzen is similar to Kabu's admiration toward Oro. Hiruzen was a fascinating case of good teacher but shit parent, he raises Oro and pay special attention to Oro but as a teacher, not a guardian or parent. Despite knowing Oro's wanted a parental figure/ someone to guide them and accept them. Hiruzen doesn't just treat Oro as his own kid, he treats the entire village as his own kids.

And for a kid, this sort of special attention could get into their head. It's easy for Oro to think maybe, Hiruzen love them or adore them or possibly even cherish them. But Hiruzen doesn't act like their parents so this must be something else. And they'd ponder over what sort of love is that. What does it all mean? what are they to Hiruzen? what can they be to Hiruzen? what can they do for Hiruzen?

I think the exact moment Oro become Jonin was when Hiruzen stop giving a shit about them. Because to Hiruzen, he did his part of "watching over the village's kids", Oro isn't a child anymore and there's the entire village to raise.

And it's so tragic because to Oro, they had thought there's something special between them and their teacher (that they barely figure out). While Hiruzen only remember Oro as they were (when they were a child)

I always think back to the flashback during Oro vs Hiruzen's fight, its interesting how Hiruzen doesn't remember Oro as a Sannin, THE legendary sannin, this shouldve been their greatest achievements as one of Konoha hero. But Hiruzen recalled Oro as the child he failed to raise as his own.

This led to my next point, the reason why i think Oro resent Hiruzen to the point of killing him. When Oro become Jonin was also the exact moment Danzo closing in like a bloodhound.

I think Oro only works with Danzo with the expectation that Hiruzen would notice them again, like how kids turn rebel in hope their parents will finally look at them. And Danzo is Danzo, he would immediately catch on what fragile adoration Oro have with their teacher and think of way to use it.

By the time Hiruzen did notice Oro again, Oro doesn't care anymore. They've been digging their grave for years in hope that anyone would notice them, while Danzo completely isolated them. What Oro behind for Hiruzen when they flee the village was something cold and full of hatred.

And personally, I think when Oro found Kabuto. They spoiled him rotten, drown him in attention and praises and teach him everything under the sun, he's getting everything that Hiruzen withhold from Oro.

And it made things complicated because Kabuto did have a mother who dotes on him and teaches him and love him and Oro isn't quite right. Kabuto doesn't think of Oro as his parents. But he still craves parental acknowledgement from Oro ( l really don't know what up with him/♡ affectionate)

Kabuto doesn't know what to make of it. And it all loop back into another cycle in this case the role is reversed for Oro. In this case, it's Kabuto going What does it all mean? what is he to Oro? what can he be to Oro? what can he do for Oro?

also i absolutely do fw Freudian/Oedipus orokabu its like a point i tried to make in a fic im working on. I really want more fics about them from this angle.

to be fair maybe i was a bit over the top, i used to ask to recreate a scene from everything i've ever read in front of the whole class, but the kids liked it so WHO WAS THE BAD GUY HERE

[watery-melon-baller]

me when my self sabatoging sabatoges me:

[outfoxt]

i was so normal about that study i definitely didn't have to leave my computer and go to another room for a minute and pace around. i didnt have to do that at all because im so normal.

[spotlightstudios]

I didn't realize how much I really do need to be an English Minor until my supervisor gave me an article to summarize the other day (we didn't write it, we were using it for a newsletter) and one paragraph in I saw something that looked stupid and therefore I researched it (yes it was stupid) and the rest of the article was very much just an advert for the site it was on without much actual, y'know, *substance*??? And istg I sat there for a solid 30 seconds buffering about how easily I dissected that Thang and tore it to SHREDS in my notes as tho my 11th grade teacher asked me to write a review on it.

And then I swallowed my pride and summarized it because I'm an intern, don't get paid enough to try and find a better article for my supervisor to approve, and I'm 75% sure no one is going to actually read beyond my little blurbs so it's fine. Whatever.
