If you think about it, Ochako and Himiko probably is the only real ship with actual romance plot development despite toxic at core
We saw many weird shippings like FemDeku x Bakugo or Bakugo x Ochako. But narrative wise, even canon ships like Ochako and Deku felt so weak at core. Even compared to other shounen battle series. I would say its pretty weak how Horikoshi developed Ochako at first place.
HOWEVER, you have so many weird moments between Ochako and Himiko. There are flat toxic yuri moments which both actually shares. It's still very odd how FemDeku x Bakugo x Shoto is very popular among yaoi circles even though canon story unironically developed Himiko and Ochako across arcs while it being toxic...
