Personality

Ending is a mentally-ill individual with a noticeable infatuation towards Endeavor, being obsessed with the Pro Hero's arrogant and ruthless image and constantly goads the latter into killing him; going so far as to kidnap Natsuo Todoroki, just so Endeavor can notice him. He is completely suicidal whilst disregarding of other peoples' lives if it serves to provoke Endeavor into killing him. Ending even regards himself like a Nomu, a lifeless puppet, as to go as far to point how depressed he's been before meeting Endeavor.

History

Many years in the past, Ending witnessed Endeavor apprehending a thief known as Takami. This event pulled him from despair and led to his complete infatuation with Endeavor, as he became obsessed with one day getting the hero to kill him. Sometime later, Endeavor caught him and he was sent to prison.

Synopsis

Endeavor Agency Arc

Seven years later, Ending is released from prison where one of the first things he sees is a news broadcast detailing Endeavor's Number 1 Hero debut in his battle against Hood, sparking joy in him. Dabi then helps with orchestrating the events that will allow Ending to attack Endeavor and his new trainees by planning an ambush on them all. Ending eventually appears outside of the Todoroki Abode, where he resumes his goal of wanting to be killed by Endeavor, injecting himself with Trigger. He stalks Natsuo after he leaves the house and ends up capturing him while he is on the phone.

Ending using his Quirk to capture Natsuo.

When Endeavor takes his interns back to the U.A. dorms, Ending appears on the highway. He reveals he has taken Natsuo hostage and pleads for Endeavor to kill him right off the bat. In an attempt to lure Endeavor out, Ending manipulated the road lines using his Whiteline Quirk to wrap around the cars on the highway to increase the death toll.

As Endeavor is about to attack him, he suddenly freezes up, causing his interns, Izuku, Katsuki, and Shoto to take over the battle. Shoto concentrates his flames in a single point and releases them which blocks Ending's attack. Katsuki condenses his Explosion into a single burst that propels him fast enough to rescue Natsuo from Ending's grasp. Izuku jumps and uses his Blackwhip to catch and mitigate the fall of the cars launched by Ending and thus preventing casualties. Shoto gets in close to Ending and freezes most of him, defeating him, to which Ending complains as he still desires Endeavor to end him.

Seeing Endeavor then engage in an apologetic tone to his son deeply upsets Ending who protests that Endeavor should be his more arrogant self, or else his light of hope will vanish. The Police Force soon arrive and arrest him.

Abilities

Overall Abilities: Ending seems to be very skilled in using his Quirk, being able to control multiple road lines and ensnare multiple cars and Natsuo at the same time, although he did use a Quirk-boosting drug beforehand.

Quirk

Whiteline (白 (はく) 線 (せん) , Hakusen^?): Ending's Quirk allows him to control any lane lines painted on the road. He can use them as tentacles to bind his target.
