Shoto Todoroki

Shouto Todoroki (轟焦凍) is a student at Yuuei training to become a Pro Hero. He got into Yuuei through a scholarship because of his powerful Quirk.

Appearance
Shouto has short, bicolored hair; the right side is white, the left side is red. He has a burn over his left eye. He possesses heterochromia, causing his eyes to be different colors.

In his hero costume, Shouto wears a simple white shirt, white pants, and white boots. He also has ice covering his left torso and arm.

Personality
Shouto has a cold, aloof personality which stems from his harsh upbringing. Shouto appears to be quite seasoned as he battled a group of villains in a calm and composed manner, which indicates that he can be calm and collective. Though brutal in battle, he is well grounded on the ethics of heroism, only wishing to subdue his frozen opponents as opposed to killing them through prolonging their frozen states.

Shouto had a deep loathing for his fire power, as it symbolized his father's wickedness towards him and his mother as well as symbolized what he was born for; a tool to surpass All Might, a fate that Shouto detests. Shouto thought that by constantly using his fire power, he would become what his father wanted him to be (to surpass All Might, which Shouto doesn't want to do) and that he would become no different than his father (a heartless and selfish person), thus Shouto decided never to use his fire power in combat and only rely on his ice power, going so far as to cover his left torso and arm with ice whenever he appeared in his hero costume to symbolize his rebellion against his father and his fate. During his battle with Izuku in the Sports Festival, Izuku's words triggered his mother's words to him that he forgot; Shouto realized that he is not a slave to his bloodline and that his fire power is his own power belonging to him, not a power belonging to his father, therefore Shouto for the first time used his fire power in combat, deciding to become the Hero he wants to be (not what his father desires him to be). After his battle with Izuku, Shouto has shown to have mixed feelings about using his fire power, indicating that he has stopped loathing and rejecting his fire power to a certain degree.

Past
His father, Endeavor, was always overlooked by All Might and was always seen as the Number 2 hero of all time, regardless of his impressive crime solving records which was superior to any other hero. Because of this, wanting to surpass All Might out of obsession, Endeavor forced a Quirk Marriage onto Shouto's mother in order to conceive a Quirk-enhanced child capable of surpassing All Might and thus Shouto was born.

When he was five years old, Shouto started to receive training from his father. However, the training was harsh and detestable to the point that Shouto threw up. Shouto's mother tried to defend him, saying that he is too young but Endeavor refused to listen. Endeavor also prevented Shouto from interacting with his older brothers. Shouto began to despise the training and hate his father for abusing his mother. During these dark times, Shouto's mother would always be there to support Shouto. She told Shouto that he is not a slave to his blood and he can become whatever he wants to be. However, Shouto's mother started to become insane from all the abuse received from Endeavor and after seeing Shouto's left side, threw boiling water over Shouto's face, causing a burn over his left eye.



After this incident, Shouto asked his father where his mother was, to which Endeavor replied that he sent her to the hospital much to Shouto's shock. Shouto blamed Endeavor, saying that everything was his fault. At some point, Shouto would forget about his mother's supportive words.

Battle Trial Arc
Shouto is teamed up with Mezou as part of the Heroes team against Mashirao and Tooru as the Villains team. He is informed by Mezou of the Villains' positions and instructs Mezou to go outside of the building. Shouto freezes the entire building and then suddenly appears on the floor where the core is. He says to Mashirao that he can take a step forward but warns him of the consequences of doing so as the floor is heated up by his doing. Shouto then casually goes to touch the core due to Mashirao not being able to move, allowing him and Mezou to win.

Ultimate Space & Jams Arc
When the Villains invaded the Ultimate Space and Jams, Shouto surmises that the villains have a Quirk user who has the ability to prevent sensors from going off. After taking the area they are in and his class's schedule into account, Shouto deduces that the villains have an objective, saying it isn't an ambush without a carefully planned scheme behind it. He tries to evacuate with his class, but his attempt to is intervened by Black Mist and is warped to the landslide area of the U.S.J where he is confronted by a group of villains. He asks the villains whether they have mercy for kids and begins to fight.

Shouto quickly defeats all the villains in the area, sarcastically remarking on the villains' mission to scatter and kill them as well as comments on their inability to effectively wield their Quirks. Because the villains are unable to do anything due to being completely frozen by Shouto, he states that they will die if they stay frozen, and decides to take the opportunity and asks the villains why they want to kill All Might.

Shouto then appears during All Might's fight with Noumu, Black Mist and Shigaraki Tomura, freezing half of Noumu's body which, along with Katsuki's attack on Black Mist, frees All Might from Noumu. He then says that he heard about each of the villains' roles in killing All Might, but says that the Symbol of Peace won't go down so easily. Shouto then watches All Might's fight with Noumu. He is then seen with his class after the battle with the Villain Alliance is over.

Sports Festival Arc
Shouto is seen in class listening to Shouta's announcement about the Yuuei Sports Festival approaching. In the lunchroom, Shouto overhears Ochako and Tenya's conversation about All Might and Izuku having similar Quirks, which grabs his interest.

As Class 1-A prepares to enter the Sports Festival, Shouto approaches Izuku and tells him that objectively, he is stronger than Izuku. He then says that All Might has a deep interest in him and says that he doesn't care why. Shouto then states that he will defeat Izuku. Izuku admits that he is definitely strong and could beat more than half the people in their class, but states to him that everyone (even from the other departments) are giving it their all, hoping to be the best and that he will also give it his all, intriguing Shouto.

When the Obstacle Race begins, Shouto freezes the ground and skids into first place as well as hindering everyone else due to freezing their feet. However, several of his classmates manage to avoid having themselves stuck in his ice, causing him to comment that he might have underestimated them. Minoru tries to attack Shouto, but he is attacked by a robot before he could.

Then, Robo Infernos (the same as the Arena Trap that showed up in the Entrance Exam) appear, blocking Shouto's path. However, Shouto freezes the humungous robots frozen solid, saying to himself that the Yuuei staff could have thrown something tougher in his way as his "shitty old man" is watching. Shouto then runs on ahead, warning the others behind him that he froze the robots in a dangerous position and thus will crash down, which causes a blockade and stops the others while Shouto forges ahead.

Shouto manages to get across the Fall easily while still keeping the lead. He then reaches the final leg of the race which is a land mine field. Shouto treads carefully, realizing that it is meant to be a disadvantage for the person in the lead. Suddenly, Katsuki blasts himself towards Shouto with his Quirk and asks him whether he issued his war declaration to the wrong rival. Soon, both Shouto and Katsuki get into a brief scuffle. Shouto then watches Izuku flying towards him and Katsuki. Izuku manages to pass them, but Shouto manages to catch up to him, but before he does, Izuku uses his metal plate to blow dust in his eyes, causing him to stop momentarily, allowing Izuku to place first. Shouto then crosses the finish line placing second,  thus allowing him to continue on to the next event, the Human Cavalry Battle.

Shouto then teams up with Tenya, Momo and Denki for the Human Cavalry Battle. Shouto explains to his teammates that the reason he chose them is because their Quirks would give them the best balanced battle formation. He then goes on to explain the battle formation: Denki will be on the left, sending out sparks so that other teams don't get too close to them; Momo will be on the right and will use her Quirk to make an insulator sheet along with whatever else she can create that can provide defense and mobility and Tenya will be in the front using his Quirk to be their physical defense. When asked whether he can feint attacks using his Fire and Ice Quirk, Shouto states that while in combat, he will never ever use his fire power, which seems to anger his father, who is watching from the bleachers. After the Human Cavalry Battle begins, Shouto and his teammates confront Izuku and his team. Shouto orders Momo to prepare an insulator sheet and tells Denki to prepare to release his electricity. Shouto covers himself along with Momo and Tenya with the insulator sheet while Denki releases a huge amount of electricity, electrocuting and stunning the other teams attacking them. Afterwards, Shouto immobilizes the stunned teams by freezing their legs. Shouto takes one of the headbands of the teams while charging forward to fight Izuku's team. Fumikage's Dark Shadow tries to attack Shouto but Momo uses her Quirk to block the Dark Shadow. Shouto's team continues fighting but Izuku's team proves to be quite resilient. Shouto ponders that Izuku has figured his weak spot and tries to think of a plan. With only a minute left, Tenya tells his team to hold on tight as he uses his move Recipro Burst to forcibly accelerate his movement to blazing speeds allowing him and his team to speed past their enemies in a blink of an eye which catches Izuku's team off guard and allows Shouto to grab Izuku's 10 million headband in the confusion. Shouto then sees that Izuku is going to attack him with full force. Knowing that the danger is high, Shouto has no choice but to use his Fire power to confront Izuku's might, setting his left arm alight with fire and prepares to fight Izuku for the final minute of the Human Cavalry Battle. Shouto's left arm is knocked away by the wind pressure Izuku created. Shouto then realizes that he is using his fire power and is shocked by what he is doing after stating that he would never use it in combat. Shouto lets his guard down due to being shocked by his own actions, allowing Izuku to take a headband from Shouto, with Shouto remaining silent. However, Izuku did not take the ten million point headband but another one. Tenya tells Shouto to pull himself together which snaps Shouto back to reality. For the last ten seconds, Shouto's team prepares to attack Izuku's team with Shouto creating a stick of ice to combat Izuku, but the Human Cavalry Battle ends before he does so. Shouto's team places first, allowing him and his team to participate in the final event. Shouto is angry with himself for using his fire power, saying he cannot go on like this. After the lunch break begins, Shouto meets Izuku in private, wanting to tell him something. Shouto says that Izuku made him broke his pledge; that he would never use his fire power. After facing him in combat, Shouto assumes that Izuku is All Might's illegitimate son, but Izuku says that is not what his relation to All Might is. After hearing this, Shouto concludes that Izuku has some connection to All Might. He then says that Izuku should know about his father, Endeavor who has been the number two hero forever and if Izuku is connected to All Might, the number one hero, he has all the more reason to win against Izuku. Shouto then explains his reason why he must win against Izuku; his father wanted to advance his position above All Might but could never do it with his own power and devised a plan; a Quirk Marriage that would allow him to get a child with an enhanced Quirk and raise that child to rise above All Might. Shouto then says that he will never be his tool. Shouto then goes on to explain some of his past; that his mother despised his left side and dumped boiling water on him. Shouto explains that the reason he must beat Izuku (someone who is connected to All Might) is a personal triumph over his father, saying that he will become the number one hero without using his father's Quirk and that it would be his total disavowal of him. Shouto then walks away, saying that he will climb over him using his ice powers. Izuku then states that he cannot lose either and that he will take Shouto's war declaration and echo it; saying that he will beat him.

The final event is a tournament event and Shouto's opponent in the first round is Hanta Sero. Seeing that his second round opponent would most likely be Izuku, Shouto expresses surprise to face him so soon, but says that he will defeat him with his own hands. During the recreational events, Shouto is seen outside thinking to himself.

Shouto leaves the ring and encounters his father in the corridor. Endeavor tells Shouto that he is proud of him for accepting to use his fire power and that he has become the perfect upgrade of him. He goes on to say that after he graduates, he will let Shouto become his sidekick. However, Shouto tells Endeavor that he cannot change so easily and hasn't rescinded his disavowal of him. Shouto then says the only reason he used his fire power was because for a split second he completely forgot about him (Endeavor). As he walks away, Shouto says that he needs to contemplate about his fire power. Shouto gets a new gym shirt to replace the damaged one and, afterwards, walks into the stadium. Shouto faces his opponent, Tenya, in his third round match. After the match begins, Shouto attacks first with a wave of ice but Tenya dodges the ice by jumping towards Shouto. Tenya uses Recipro Burst and tries to attack Shouto with a speed-enhanced kick, but Shouto dodges his kick. Tenya quickly counters and attacks Shouto with another speed-enhanced kick, slamming Shouto down onto the ground and becomes injured. However, Shouto retaliates by grabbing Tenya leg, but Tenya kicks Shouto away. Tenya grabs Shouto and proceeds to try and throw Shouto out of bounds before Recipro Burst ends. However, along the way, Tenya realizes that there is ice in his mufflers and he slows down. Shouto tells Tenya that he put ice in his mufflers when he grabbed his leg and freezes Tenya's entire body. Due to being unable to move, Tenya is declared defeated and Shouto advances to the final round of the tournament event. While walking away, Shouto admits to Tenya that he could not fully evade his Recipro Burst and says that he expected no less from it.

Shouto waits in the waiting room for his final match to begin. Shouto thinks about Izuku's words; that his powers are his and only his. Shouto admits that he didn't think that way before he fought Izuku. The door slams open, revealing Katsuki, who barged into the wrong room. Shouto doesn't take attention to Katsuki, much to Katsuki's annoyance. Katsuki complains about Shouto's attitude towards a fellow finalist. Shouto continues to ignore him until Katsuki uses a small Explosion on the table to get his attention. Shouto says to Katsuki that Izuku is the type of person who is compelled to drag out peoples' problems and help them. Shouto asks Katsuki, as Izuku's childhood friend, if Izuku has always been the type of person compelled to help people's problems. However, Katsuki angrily kicks the table over, telling Shouto that he doesn't care about Izuku and doesn't care about Shouto's problems or feelings. Before he leaves, Katsuki tells Shouto to give everything he's got.

Shouto goes to the ring and faces his opponent, Katsuki, in the final match. Shouto attacks Katsuki with a huge pillar of ice, hoping to end the fight quickly. However, Katsuki thaws himself out with a defensive Explosion. After breaking out of Shouto's ice, Katsuki uses some Explosions to somersault himself into the air. While in the air, Katsuki grabs Shouto's hair and shirt and throws Shouto onto the ground, but Shouto creates an ice wall behind himself to prevent himself from being thrown out of the ring. Shouto is attacked again by Katsuki but he dodges Katsuki's Explosion and grabs Katsuki's arm. Shouto throws Katsuki into his ice wall and in the process throws himself out of harm's way. Katsuki becomes angry at Shouto for not using his full power, telling Shouto to not stand in front of him if he is not fighting to win. As Katsuki prepares his next attack, Shouto is in deep thought of whether to use his fire power or not; having trouble on deciding if it is the right choice to use it or not. Shouto admits to himself that since fighting Izuku he is struggling on what to do and how he should proceed. Shouto is confused and conflicted from his deep thinking. After Izuku yells at Shouto to keep fighting, Shouto decides to get his head in the game and activates his fire power. After activating his fire power, Shouto remembers his mother's reaction to his fire power and becomes disheartened. Shouto is hit by Katsuki's Howitzer Impact. After the smoke clears, Shouto is out of bounds, seemingly knocked out. A furious Katsuki walks to Shouto and grabs him by his shirt, dissatisfied with Shouto's performance, but Katsuki is knocked out by Midnight's perfume before he can do anything to Shouto. Because he went out of bounds, Shouto loses.

Shouto later appears at the closing ceremony of Yuuei's Sports Festival waiting on the podium to receive his award for second place. All Might gives Shouto his medal and congratulates him. All Might says to Shouto that he had his reasons for suppressing his fire power in the final match. Shouto replies to All Might that ever since his fight with Izuku he has been confused at what to do about his problems. Shouto says that he now realizes that he has not handled his problems properly due to trying to solve them by himself and that he must come to terms with things in order to solve his problems. All Might gives Shouto a congratulatory hug, telling Shouto he won't pry any further and that he knows now that Shouto can come to terms with anything that is troubling him.

After the closing ceremony of Yuuei's Sports Festival is finished, Shouto along with his class are given two off days. The next day, Shouto decides to go and see his mother who is in hospital. Shouto's older sister, Fuyumi, is surprised that Shouto is going to see their mother after such a long time and asks Shouto why he is going, but Shouto does not reply to her. At the hospital, Shouto arrives at the door to his mother's room. Shouto believes that the only way to solve his problems and move forward (coming to terms with using his fire side and overcoming his trauma from childhood) is to meet his mother and talk to her. Shouto takes a deep exhale and enters his mother's room.

Field Training Arc
Two days after the Sports Festival, Shouto is in class. During the Hero Informatics period Shouta reveals the Pro Hero nominations. Shouto received 4,123 Pro Hero nominations and is the highest amount of nominations out of Class 1-A. Momo comments to Shouto that his amount of nominations were expected, to which Shouto replies that most of his nominations were due to his father. Afterwards, Class 1-A has to decide on Hero names. Shouto, however, simply writes down and shows his own name to his classmates instead of coming up with a Hero name.

After Class 1-A is finished formulating their Hero names, Shouto is given his personalized work place list in order to choose a work place that he wants to train at. On his list, Shouto sees his father's work place as one of his work place choices. On the day of the work place training, Shouto is at the train station with his class so that he can travel to the work place of his choice by train.

Powers and Abilities
Shouto is stated to be the strongest in Class 1-A. Katsuki was shown to be envious of Shouto's strength after seeing him in action in the Battle Trial. He was able to defeat all the villains in the landslide area all by himself without much trouble and was able to provide valuable assistance to All Might during his battle with Noumu.

Quirk
"Half-Cold Half-Hot" - Shouto's Quirk gives the right side of his body the power of ice and his left side the power of fire. His Quirk allows him to use his fire and ice to raise and lower temperature. This Quirk gives him the ability to create ice and fire from nowhere. Shouto has shown great usage with his ice power, as he was able to create massive ice glaciers.

The drawback to his Quirk arises from his need to maintain his own body temperature. Excessive use of his ice power causes Shouto to suffer from frostbite and his ice attacks as a result become weaker. However, Shouto can easily solve this drawback with his fire power, using his fire to heal himself from the frostbite.

Endeavor
Flame Hero Endeavor is Shouto's father. Shouto's relationship with his father is on negative terms as Endeavor only sees Shouto as a tool for surpassing All Might; Shouto despises his father for seeing him as nothing more than a tool and hates him for his abuse against him and his mother.

At a very young age, Endeavor began training Shouto but the training was harsh and detestable. This was where Shouto began to dislike his father, telling his mother that he never wanted to become a Hero like him. Shouto's resentment of his father only further increased when he started to abuse his mother as well as prevent him from interacting with his brothers. After Endeavor sent his mother to hospital, Shouto snapped and outright said to his father that he hates him, blaming him for everything that has happened.

Shouto's Mother
Unlike his father, Shouto's mother was kind, caring and loving towards Shouto and in return Shouto loved her deeply.

Shouto hated his father for always abusing his mother. When Endeavor began to train Shouto which was harsh and detestable when he was five, Shouto's mother intervened, trying to stop Endeavor's mad training methods but only to fail. Shouto's mother supported Shouto in these dark times, saying to him that its okay to become a hero, telling him that he is not a slave to his bloodline and that he can become whatever he wants to be.

However, Shouto's mother soon became insane from all the abuse by Endeavor and started to hate him as well as Shouto's left side. She finally snapped and threw boiling water over Shouto's face, causing a burn over his left eye. However, Shouto bore no ill will against his mother for this incident and showed no hatred for her. Instead, Shouto asked where his mother was and became shocked that she was admitted to hospital, starting to cry and blamed his father for what happened to her.

Even after everything that happened in the past, Shouto still loves his mother but it is unknown whether Shouto's mother still loves him or not.

Izuku Midoriya
Shouto sees Izuku as his arch rival due to him having connections with All Might (a person whom his father has a rivalry with). Shouto's interactions with Izuku have been of a serious nature but not to the point of antagonistic. After Izuku made him use his fire power during the Human Cavalry Battle, Shouto started to take Izuku seriously, going so far as telling Izuku his backstory and declaring to him that he would surpass him using only his ice powers and in the process disown his father. Izuku has a lot of respect for Shouto, admitting that he is far stronger than him. Although Izuku wants to defeat Shouto, Izuku started to show sympathy for Shouto after seeing his sadness and resolved to help him. During the final clash in their battle, Shouto thanked Izuku. After his fight with Izuku, Shouto has begun to acknowledge Izuku's prowess, noting that he is a person compelled to help people no matter what.

Katsuki Bakugou
Shouto and Katsuki have interacted a few times such as in the Obstacle Race during the Sports Festival where they had a brief scuffle for first place and before they faced each other in the final match of the Sports Festival's tournament event. Shouto appears to not be fond of Katsuki's aggressive personality and doesn't seem to see Katsuki as a rival. On the other hand, Katsuki was shown to be envious of Shouto's strength after seeing him in the Battle Trial. However, Katsuki dislikes Shouto's cold attitude. Unlike Izuku, Katsuki doesn't care about Shouto's problems or feelings.
