Enji Todoroki (Endeavour) Profile
Age: 15

Birthday: 8th August

Height: 195cm

Favourite Things: Kuzumochi

He was originally meant to be part of the U.A. faculty, but he ended up being too much of a one-dimensional powerhouse without much else going on, so I decided against that. Story wise, he's basically a terrible father, but I hope to eventually portray why that is.

He can switch his beard and mustache on and off, but he typically leaves it burning as a flashy show of power.

Favorite Thing: Cake

I suspect this guy's Quirk is a really strong one, and I want to show it, but I just haven't found the right oppurtunity. His design kind of reminds me of the good old days, and I really like it.

He's another one who hasn't gotten exposure yet. Will I ever even give him a line to say?! Stay tuned!!! (No promises). It's no secret that I like making not-quite-human characters, so I'm fond of this guy's design, too

Back of the Head
He's got this weird, fluttery-looking thing thing back there. It's probably hair.

Katsuki Bakugo's Costume
Gauntlets and Braces - Storage Tank. Sweat seeps through and is sent to the tank. The palm part is extremely absorbent and therefore prone to exploding. Its made of materials that can withstand strong impacts. The costume's designed to go through some harsh battles, so in order prevent the grenade pin from accidentally falling out, this device has a two-stage safeguard.

Grenades - Sweat from the storage tank can be put in these hand grenades. Seriously, what's the point?!!

Kneepads - These blunt attachments were designed so that Bakugo could kill with his knees

All in All: Heartless

Izuku Midoriya's Costume
Jumpsuit - An ordinary jumpsuit. ¥12,800 at a sporting goods.

Mask - ¥4,980 at a military surplus shop. A mask used in airsoft games and the like. The bottom part is painted

Nirengeki Shoda Profile

Favourite Thing: Watching boxing matches

This is my greatest naming achievement to date. I feel like he's another one who was originally a member of Class A.

Sports Festival
When I was putting this arc together in my mind, it was going to be a vehicle for Todoroki's development. There'd be two chapters for the obstacle race, one for the interlude, two for the cavalryr battle, and about five for the tournament itself. That was the grand plan, but when I started drawing, I realized I needed to showcase all these characters, so it couldn't be as succint as i'd imagined.

Since then, I had a chance to talk with Naruto 's Kishimoto Sensei, and he told me "Whenever you make an estimate fo the length of an arc, count on it ballooning to twice that length." How right he is. Wow.

I'm going full throttle with the volumes to come, too, so thanks for your support"All's well that ends well"
