To be perfectly honest, I'm torn about this chapter. On one hand, I loved Ochako being awesome and I sincerely hope Hori-sensei follows in Mashima's footsteps.
On the other hand, I also would've loved it if the battle went the other way around and Kacchan being his old kitten self. It's mainly because I would've loved to see Deku truly snapping for the first time. Especially with Ochako's last panel.
You replace that with her weakly calling out her dad and apologizing to him in Deku's arms, then Deku just slowly and eerily stands up, and gives Kacchan his first-ever "Imma gonna rip your kittening spine out" face.
tldr; I loved Ochako's development and fight, but can't help but feel it was a missed opportunity to build up tension between Kacchan and Deku for the finals.

The family that couldn't be.
