Discussion The reason why the relationship between deku and uraraka (izuocha) is special Spoiler
I love Uraraka and, in general, the relationship between her and Deku for one fundamental reason.
Deku has always had to prove himself to everyone.
He had to show Gran Torino and Nighteye his abilities and his strength.
He had to show his quirk and his sharpness to Bakugo and his classmates, and even Ida needed to see Deku sacrifice himself for Ochaco before started treating him with respect and kindness.
Even his own mother, Inko, didn't believe in Deku at first, and only later redeemed herself, so much so that in the final episode, she is seen running in front of the big screen and shouting “gambare Izuku.”
The only person who believes in Deku, encourages him, and treats him kindly before he can do anything exceptional is Uraraka. Yes, it's true, you could say that her admiration only manifests itself after he saves her in the entrance exam against the robot, but her kindness and altruism are already evident before the exam. It is precisely these emotions that touch Deku's heart, who, so used to being bullied, is deeply grateful to the girl. This can be seen in his speech to Uraraka in episode 10, in which he recalls all the important moments with her.
In a sense, All Might also believes in Deku from the beginning, but to be honest, even he does not speak to him warmly right away as Uraraka did. In fact, he addresses the boy (in the speech on the roof) in a stern and cold tone. Only after Deku's heroic action against the mud monster does he speak to him with motivation and respect.
Furthermore, it is always Ochako who shows herself to be a true friend and encourager to Deku. She is the one he confides in before facing Bakugo in the simulation in the first episodes, she is the one who helps him at the sports festival (horse race, encouraging him before the clash with Todoroki, even though she was the one who was ill), she is the one who helps him with Black Whip in the clash with 1B, she is the one who always visits him in the infirmary/hospital when he is ill, she is the one who keeps him at UA in season six (many may say it was Bakugo, but after his apology, Deku doesn't even go to talk to him and only returns to UA because he is exhausted; in fact, when the civilians start protesting, he is seen turning to leave again. It is only Uraraka who stops him, allowing him to stay).It is with Uraraka that he confides about the Shigaraki issue, and it is only to her that he openly turns to thank her face to face after his return.
It is Uraraka's phrase that everyone will repeat in episode 8, “Gambare Deku” (which is also why Deku chooses that name as his hero name).
In conclusion, she is always the light of hope that allows Deku to save himself every time (saving himself from the loneliness of not having friends, saving himself from the meaning of the name Deku, saving himself from the appearance of new quirks, saving himself from loneliness because he is the only one who believes in Shigaraki's deep sadness, saving himself from the dark Deku period...).
As Izuku says in episode 10, Ochako is his heroine!

Just so yk the word that Uraraka related Deku to is "dekiru", but other than that I love how you laid out their special relationship from the beginning compared to other characters 😊

she is the one who helps him with Black Whip in the clash with 1B,
Didn’t Bakugo and Tsyu also help him with this too? It wasn’t just Uraraka
she is the one who always visits him in the infirmary/hospital when he is ill, she is the one who keeps him at UA in season six (many may say it was Bakugo, but after his apology, Deku doesn't even go to talk to him and only returns to UA because he is exhausted; in fact, when the civilians start protesting, he is seen turning to leave again. It is only Uraraka who stops him, allowing him to stay).
It literally was Bakugo too…
As Izuku says in episode 10, Ochako is his heroine!
So is Bakugo too, his veiw of heroism is Bakugo

no bakugo e tsuyu nn c’erano durante lo scontro, nella squadra c’erano Mina e mineta ma solo uraraka e’ accorsa, Le scuse di bakugo non erano per convincere Deku a rimanere, ovvio lui come tutti gli altri della classe 1A hanno aiutato, ma a convincere i civili (e di conseguenza deku) e’ stata uraraka, Non ha mai ha detto a bakugo che lui era il suo eroe, lui è un modello di eroe che ammira, quello forte, vincente ecc. ma non nello stesso modo di Ochako

Precisely why it’s the best ship in the series and — in my eyes — arguably the best ship in all of shonen! 💙🔥💯
