Nothing else for MVA, so we're back to the students and Izuku is showcasing his newly unlocked black whip during interviews. Ochako is one of the characters that gets focus, and watches him while he's doing this. She was very important when the quirk activated, so it makes sense.

Now, it's Christmas time! There's a random gift exchange and Izuku and Ochako receive each other's gifts. Ochako gets an All Might Netsuke, and Izuku gets a bag of mochi. You'll soon see that the netsuke is more important to her than you'd think though.

Now, the students go to their internships. Izuku, Bakugo, and Todoroki intern with Endeavor. But, we get to see all the students including Ochako with a new costume. You'll see soon why she decides to make these modifications.

The internships are over and the girls take notice of Ochako's new costume. While Mina is fiddling with the belt, the All Might netsuke falls out. Ochako carries the netsuke with her in her costume.

She says, "Just keeping it on hand", with a pretty satisfied look on her face. She doesn't get bothered by the teasing, and she's matured so much. Also, Mina being the #1 izuocha shipper as usual.
