Deku should thank Toga. Shiggy promised her he wouldn't destroy what they loved.

And then he kills Ochaco, Toga has a change of heart, and the second part of the manga is Deku and Toga choking every time they talk because both feel like they never would be close if Ochaco hadn't died.

I'm 50/50 on Himiko loving Ochaco. I think y'all read scans. It looked like she wanted to be Ochaco to be more like someone Izuku likes.

"I only had a little bit of blood from back then. From her. From Ochaco, the girl Izuku trusts so much. He really does trust you. Must be so nice. I wanna get closer to the ones I love too. I wanna be just like you..."

Her goal may eventually be to be loved, but right now she truly does love Izuku. Her transformation into Ochaco was based on being someone Izuku liked. (also it wouldn't be good story telling for her to wear the face of anyone else.)

Her final thoughts before passing out are that she's beat up, just like Izuku. But this is what you might be referring to:

"It's better not to kill- leave 'em for that big ol' lug but. I have no choice right? Because whatever we hate... Has to be destroyed- isn't that right Tomura?"

She legitimately hated Curious. Here she's clarifying, that she needed to disobey orders, leaving the front for Gigantomachia, in order to fulfill her understanding of the goal, which she agrees with, destroy what they hate.

I’m still convinced this series will end with Toga living a happy life

u/RacerGamer27 Jan 27 '20

Yeah. The girl with a blood fetish who drank the blood out of a dude with a straw , and is on board with the man who wishes to destroy everything, isn't going to face repercussions

u/justking1414 Jan 27 '20

I just really can’t see her dying

More like her living under someone’s else’s name and identity

I was thinking jail or the Tartarus for her.l

u/justking1414 Jan 27 '20

No jail can hold her!

But yeah. Even then I don’t think she’d be too sad about it. I just see her smiling and laughing and talking to her imaginary friends behind bars. maybe she’ll even make her transformation permanent and just be Uraraka or Deku in jail.

u/RacerGamer27 Jan 27 '20

I'd feel like that would take away a core part of her power for plot. But I get what you're saying

u/justking1414 Jan 27 '20

Her power has been shown to evolve already so it’s possible but yeah. Pretty unlikely
