Ah well If Ochako loses then We may see a sweet and cute moment between her and Izuku at least.
But that doesn't mean that I want her to lose. It's just that speaking from my stand point I never once recalled a female winning any tournament in a shonen series.
I wish that would change for once really. Or when they do it is undermined later on cause a better male player didn't enter or it doesn't mean anything later on.
I'm just sick of seeing Female characters losing and the writer excuses it that the female is strong when clearly they don't put any effort to make us realize why. It's just a hand wave that they can't or won't write a strong female casuse of a skewered view on women.
And that's why we have Mashima to thank for. Because he knows how to write awesome women (except for Juvia, though).
