What if I had found love sooner? A love that made me want to give blood instead of drinking other people's blood. If I had met someone who I could love like that, it would be have been much easier to live in this world. But even so, I'm Himiko Toga and I lived exactly how I wanted to. — Chapter 395: Beyond Happiness.

Something something, finally getting through all of the barriers of your opponent and ending up trying to comfort their crying inner child, something something.

What she says: I’m fine.

What she means: Horikoshi took the ahegao naughty girl and the cute girl-power-without-plot-significance teen girl and then provided their way out—clawed their way out—of these basic archetypes by developing their relationship with EACH OTHER. “Two girls talking about love” is usually either an insult, a way to devalue women and the space they take up, or a surrender, a catalog of all the ways they’ve been hurt, but Ochaco and Toga are talking about radical love. Self love. Love for what you believe in. They love each other in a way society does not believe should be possible. Their love saves them from their predetermined fates within their world and ours. Is there anything more powerful than to be saved by your own love?

WAIT

I’m sorry I only just now found out about Himiko taking the All Might keychain holy shhdkfjhfk why are we not making a bigger deal out of this!! I knew that if the keychain appeared again, the context would be extremely important.

It was symbolic of Ochako hiding away her crush, and also her admiration of Izuku’s All Might -like traits, mainly his self sacrifice. Taking the keychain seems to suggest relieving Ochako of that emulation. Now she’s the one being saved. And again, for this to fully be a positive thing for Ochako, it shouldn’t result in Himiko’s death because Ochako has already dealt with that guilt enough, and it’s time for a real win.

Considering that this moment of Himiko giving Ochako her blood is an act of reciprocating genuine love, there’s a sense of finality. The keychain is gone, and with it her romantic attachment to Izuku, because the void of unrequited love is now being filled by Himiko. Literally.

Like I can’t stress enough how this sudden but understated appearance speaks volumes hidden in plain sight. If this isn’t a smoking gun for putting *that ship to rest, I don’t know what is.

Hori better let Izuku and Ochako keep their blondes

I just can't get over the fact that usually Ochako is the one who's beautified,

and Toga is the one showing her raw expressions, i.e. she's presented as a monster, in blood and spider lily but during the main TogaChako fight and its conclusion...

Ochako is the one in her most raw form....all bloody, and bruised, covered in scars, mud and blood...

while Toga is the one in her most beautiful form...

It's just beautiful❤️
