When you are at your sparkliest but she doesn’t notice

Class 1A (2A) won’t be the same without him❤️‍🩹

Controversial take, but the crush plotline being introduced at this time in this way makes sense and helps move the plot forward. (The problems with this plotline are more that it overstays its welcome and takes up too much of Ochako's screen time)

It's logical that Aoyama would pick up on Ochako's crush because he was keeping an eye on Izuku. He doesn't know how Izuku is involved in the All for One/One for All conflict, but because one wrong move could get himself and his family killed, he has to pay attention to Izuku.

And it makes sense Aoyama would bring up the crush here; he is trying to sabotage Ochako's exam and he needs a distraction. Pointing out her high school crush out of the blue is an effective way to accomplish that.

Beyond that, this crush plotline needed to be in play before Toga - Ochako's narrative foil - was introduced.

Anyway, regardless of your thoughts of Izuocha, for a Shounen Jump romantic subplot, it's pretty intertwined with the main storyline.

Drawing what the headcanon generator did for me. MHA class 1-A version. Part One!!

Uhm, okay

Sorry for the bad quality, my digital hand draw is going bad these days.😁

Parallels my parallels💀

I just remembered the "Please. I don't want to see another human life destroyed by this place” line, and honestly did they have scenes of Luz starting to wonder if Belos' had a point and going into the island did destroy her life? If not, they should have had.

No, they did not have Luz ever wonder how the isles affected Belos--except in the storyboards:

Luz still calls him out for trying to destroy the isles and being a hypocrite but there's still that moment of empathy in which she asks point blank: "What do you think they DID to you?!" She briefly contemplates just why someone would go so far to destroy an entire population and what his mindset might be. Unfortunately, this was not included in the final version and Belos' expression is blank instead of pleading.

Then there's this storyboard from For the Future in which Luz, Eda, and King explain to the Collector how people like Amity and Lilith became their friends:

Luz's line about "people being complicated" is in the episode but the entire exchange between her and the Collector is not even though it opens up a lot of interesting ideas and themes. Without it though, the show becomes straight up hypocritical when it states that people are complicated but reduces its villains to generic archetypes and its hero characters as being simply misguided or victims of the villains.

And no, this doesn't mean that the show should have excused Belos' actions or even forgiven him; but they could have and should have acknowledged the complexity of his character by keeping this nuance in and how the characters react to it. By doing so, the message of "people are complicated" becomes clear and strengthens the other characters as well. Luz gets to self-reflect on how she sees other people and learn that even the worst people among us are incredibly complex and have driving forces that are uncomfortably close to our own, thus making it much harder to demonize them. The Collector--instead of being a Giant Star Baby--keeps both his childlike bluntness and keen observational skills that he had in season 2, thus fleshing out the character instead of devolving him.

Regrettably, that nuance is absent from the show and we have a rather black-and-white narrative about Good vs. Evil; people are only ever really "bad" if someone tricked them or if there was a misunderstanding and all the Real Bad People are just selfish jerks who are power hungry and controlling.

This is not compelling storytelling; this is a tale as old as time. And the worst part is that there was a great story in The Owl House but it was left in the rough drafts.
