My Hero Academia has an expansive character lineup, with each one brimming with immense potential. With limited screen time, however, boasting a large roster of characters can be detrimental to the series. This is especially true for female characters in shonen anime, as they tend to bear the brunt of time constraints and often end up being sidelined. Ochaco Uraraka is a prime example of this phenomenon, and how a well-written female character is eventually relegated to the sidelines with no part in the narrative.
