While 100% Deku (Midoriya) from My Hero Academia is incredibly powerful, capable of city/country-level feats, characters with reality-bending abilities, instant-win conditions (like time stop or soul manipulation), or immense speed/power outside the MHA universe, such as Giorno Giovanna (Gold Experience Requiem), Gojo Satoru (with Unlimited Void), Saitama, or powerful figures from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and Dragon Ball, could potentially defeat him by bypassing his strength or exceeding his speed. Even within MHA, foes with soul/reality manipulation like Mahito, or overwhelming power like Prime All Might or evolved Shigaraki, pose significant threats.
By using Full Cowl to spread 100% of his power throughout his body, Izuku's abilities are dramatically increased, granting him strength and speed that rival that of All Might, and the ability to move through mid-air using wind pressure.

However, Deku can beat him in terms of quirks and versatility. Deku is the stronger hero, and his range of abilities and battleIQ put him far ahead of Todoroki. Even in their previous clash, Deku prioritized getting Todoroki to use his fire quirk rather than securing the victory.
Horikoshi confirms Deku and Ochaco are dating at the end of Chapter 431 — but here's the important context. Chapter 431, the canon epilogue included in Volume 42, shows Deku and Ochaco reuniting, openly expressing their feelings, and making it clear they want to be together moving forward.

Minoru Mineta (Pop Off)
Surprising almost no one, poor Mineta is still My Hero Academia's weakest character in Class 1-A's ranked order. Sure, his sticky-ball quirk is surprisingly versatile; it can immobilise enemies, create barricades, and even save allies in dire moments.
In My Hero Academia, Ochaco Uraraka is canonically confirmed as Izuku "Deku" Midoriya's romantic partner and future wife, with the series epilogue (Chapter 431) showing them start a relationship after the final war, where Deku acknowledges her as his personal hero and they openly commit to each other.
