Enji Todoroki

**Enji Todoroki** (轟 (とどろき) 炎 (えん) 司 (じ) , **Todoroki Enji**?)

### **Description**

Enji was the Pro Hero Endeavor, he had the highest tally of resolved cases in history.

Enji was the son of Teka and Yoshino Todoroki. Teka is a supermodel, and Toshino was a rich CEO businessman. Teka is not fond of children, and this dislike was also extended to Enji, who she occasionally called a ‘rat’ and ‘demon’. She was not a hand-on-mom, Yoshino did the mothering out of the two of them. On the other hand, Yoshino’s lifelong dream was to become a dad.

Enji and Teka were not close due to her neglect. She imposed a very high standard on Enji simply because he is her son, pressuring him to be on top of everything. This strained their relationship to the point that Enji never looked at her when she visited during his wedding. Teka wants to forget her son as well, but she can’t because he is the only thing that Yoshino left before he died.

Enji Todoroki witnessed the accident wherein Yoshino tried to rescue a little girl from a Villain, only to end up dying alongside her. This event inspired him to become a Pro Hero, and by the time he entered U.A. High School, he chose the hero name Enji.

At the age of 20, Enji Todoroki had already achieved the impressive #2 position on the Hero Billboard Chart JP. However, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of fear and respect towards the reigning hero, All Might, as the gap between them seemed insurmountable. Determined to surpass his idol, Enji devised a new plan and decided to marry Rei Himura through an arranged Quirk Marriage. His intention was to conceive a child who would possess a powerful Quirk capable of fulfilling his goal.

Despite the arrangement, Enji developed genuine feelings for Rei, and their initial years together went smoothly. When Enji was twenty-two, they welcomed their first children, twins named Toya and Fuyumi. Although neither of them inherited the desired composite Quirk, Fuyumi showcased an ice Quirk even stronger than her mother's, while Toya possessed a fire Quirk that surpassed Enji's own Hellflame in terms of power. Recognizing their unique abilities, Enji believed that with their Fire and Ice Quirks, his children could surpass All Might.

During their early years, Enji focused more on training Toya, as his fire Quirk was easier to teach. Fuyumi, on the other hand, was more reserved, and her training often took a backseat to Enji's attention towards Toya.

However, as time passed, Toya's Quirk began to cause severe burns whenever he used it due to inheriting his mother's resistance to freezing cold rather than his father's resistance to scorching heat. Fuyumi faced similar compatibility issues with her ice Quirk, as she inherited her father's resistance to scorching heat. Enji deemed them failures and abruptly halted Toya's training.

This revelation deeply affected Toya, and in a heartfelt conversation with Fuyumi, he expressed his belief that he understood his own body and could endure any burns he might incur. Fuyumi, caring for her brother's safety, confessed her worry, only for Toya to dismiss her understanding, claiming she couldn't comprehend his struggles because she was a girl. Hurt by his words, Fuyumi expressed her genuine concern, but Toya walked away, leaving their relationship strained.

In an attempt to resolve the family's complicated dynamics, Enji decided to have more children with Rei, hoping to achieve the desired Quirk combination and, in part, to discourage Toya from pursuing his aspirations. The couple welcomed their third son, Natsuo, who inherited Rei's Quirk but lacked the powerful abilities Enji sought.

Enji Todoroki's search for his ideal child finally came to an end when his fourth child, Shoto, emerged as his "masterpiece." Shoto had inherited both the fire and ice Quirks that Enji had longed for, making him the embodiment of his father's desires. Consequently, Enji began neglecting and dismissing his other children, considering them failures in comparison. This rejection deeply affected Toya, who continued training in secret in an attempt to regain his father's approval.

Enji, concerned about Toya's well-being, urged him to stop and advised him to explore a life beyond the pursuit of heroism. He suggested that Toya should engage in activities such as playing with his siblings and making friends at school. Tearfully, Toya expressed his inability to do so, as he believed that he was the one who ignited the fire within him to surpass All Might. He clung to the belief that the flame inside him would never extinguish.

The tension within the family escalated when the other members, including Rei, witnessed the heated exchange. Toya demanded his father's attention, charging at his mother while his flames blazed. However, his attempt to harm anyone was thwarted, and Enji made a decision in the aftermath of this incident. He prohibited the other Todoroki siblings from interacting with Shoto, hoping to focus solely on his youngest son's training.

Enji entrusted Rei with the responsibility of looking after Toya. In response to Rei's statement that all Toya wanted was his father's acknowledgement, Enji defensively asserted that all he could offer was a world of heroes. Rebuking him, Rei harshly accused Enji of evading his responsibilities, highlighting his tendency to run away from his problems.

When Shoto reached the age of five, Enji initiated his rigorous and abhorrent training to mold him into a Hero. Despite Rei's objections, emphasizing Shoto's young age, Enji disregarded her concerns and commanded her to stay out of his way. He even resorted to physical violence, striking her for intervening. Enji further isolated Shoto by forbidding him from interacting with his older siblings.

Meanwhile, Toya continued his relentless training, and one winter day, his Quirk underwent a transformation, intensifying his flames and turning them blue. Excited to demonstrate his progress, Toya eagerly asked Enji to visit Sekoto Peak on his next day off. However, upon seeing Toya's determination and the scars on his own body, Enji grew angry, realizing that his son had been training without his knowledge. Disregarding Toya's pleas for acknowledgment, Enji blamed Rei for not restraining him, prompting Shoto to confront his father, urging him not to bully their mother. Enji dismissed Shoto's intervention and scolded Rei, declaring that Toya was now her responsibility.

As Enji's behavior deteriorated, it began to take a toll on Rei, to the extent that she started seeing her husband's face in their children. The breaking point arrived when Rei, overwhelmed by the situation, scalded Shoto's face with boiling water. Following this incident, Enji had Rei admitted to a mental hospital, a decision that further fueled Shoto's anger as he held his father responsible for his mother's plight.

Shortly after Rei's confinement, Toya returned to Sekoto Peak, hoping for his father's presence to witness his newfound powers. However, Enji chose not to appear, believing that it would only fuel Toya's ambitions. In truth, Enji was at a loss for words and unsure of how to address the situation. As a result, Toya lost control of his emotions and flames, resulting in a devastating wildfire. Enji could only watch helplessly from a distance, filled with horror, as he realized Toya was trapped within the raging inferno. Once the fire was finally extinguished, Enji found himself among the onlookers, witnessing the aftermath of the catastrophic event.

Tragically, Toya perished in the devastating fire, with only a fragment of his lower jawbone recovered due to the extreme temperatures exceeding 2000 degrees Celsius. Enji, filled with horror, raced to the scene desperately searching for his son but was unable to locate him.

Toya's death deeply impacted the family, particularly his mother Rei, who was already grappling with the profound psychological effects of Enji's past abuse. His younger brother Natsuo also held their father responsible for Toya's untimely demise.

In remembrance of Toya, the family established a Butsudan Buddhist altar in his former room, where they continue to offer prayers in his honor. Surprisingly, even Enji, burdened by guilt, is seen paying his respects at the altar, openly expressing remorse for the loss of his eldest son and acknowledging his own role in causing his death.

Despite the tragedy, Enji remains resolute in his ambitions, unwilling to abandon them even after being confronted with the consequences of his actions. He becomes fixated on training and shaping Shoto, his remaining son, with the belief that he can mold him into the perfect successor to fulfill his aspirations.

After the events of the Kamino Incident, which resulted in All Might's retirement and Enji's succession as the No. 1 Hero, Enji's character took a shift in course. Enji's interest in the title of strongest Pro Hero was always based on earning it through merit and ability, valuing the work he had invested in attaining the No. 1 spot more than the spot itself.

At the end of the battle against the Paranormal Liberation Front in Jaku City, it was reveled that Dabi is Toya Todoroki. Shoto and Enji were left speechless. Toya explained that he had been observing Enji from the shadows and broadcasted the truth about Endeavor's abusive past nationwide. He revealed his plan to destroy Endeavor's public image and invited him to dance in the hell they had created.

Enji confronts the shocking revelation that his estranged son, Dabi, is actually alive and is now a villain seeking revenge. Dabi confirms the truth of his identity, mocking Enji for his past actions. As the battle ensues, Best Jeanist arrives to aid Enji and successfully binds the League of Villains with his quirk. However, Dabi breaks free and engages in a heated clash with Shoto. Amidst the chaos, Enji watches helplessly as his sons face off, while the heroes and students fight to protect one another.

Izuku's words of support help Enji regain his focus, and he manages to knock Gigantomachia back. However, Enji pushes himself to his limits and becomes unconscious. Meanwhile, All For One takes control of Tomura's body and escapes with the remaining villains. The battle concludes with numerous arrests and the hero society plunges into a deep crisis. Many heroes withdraw, leaving areas with little protection against increasing criminal activities.

After spending two days in a coma, Enji awakens in the hospital and learns that his family is mostly unharmed. Overwhelmed with guilt and regret, he breaks down in tears. To his surprise, his wife Rei visits him, and they discuss their eldest son, Toya. Rei and Enji reflect on their past mistakes and acknowledge their individual responsibilities for the family's rupture. Shoto assures his father that they will stop Toya together, leading Enji to accept the support and encouragement from his family.

Hawks and Best Jeanist join the discussion, and a plan is made to address the ongoing crisis. Enji agrees to collaborate with them, and they prepare to confront the remaining villains. Enji also learns the truth about "One For All" from All Might and realizes the importance of protecting Deku. Three days later, they make a public announcement, confessing the truth about their family's past and shocking the general public. Enji promises to fight relentlessly to atone for his actions and urges society to focus their criticisms on him. As they face the challenges ahead, Enji vows to fix everything and protect those he cares about.

Later on, the plan called for Shoto and Ida to engage in a fierce battle against Dabi, while Enji joined the fight against All For One. Eventually, Shoto emerged as the victorious combatant, utilizing his newly developed technique, the Great Glacial Aegir, to freeze Dabi and claim the victory. However, Dabi managed to survive by mimicking Shoto's Phosphor technique, shielding himself from complete freezing. He proceeded to ruthlessly incinerate Kido and Onima, replenishing his own strength with their flames.

With information provided by Skeptic, Dabi discovered Endeavor's location and abandoned the battle with Shoto, setting off to confront Enji and All For One at the ruins of Gunga Mountain Villa. Ignoring Shoto's pleas to continue their fight, Dabi chose to fly towards Gunga. Skeptic assured Dabi of transportation and summoned a Warp Gate that materialized before him. Stepping through the Warp Gate, Dabi found himself instantly teleported to Endeavor's whereabouts, where he emerged and confronted his father.

Dabi proceeded to engulf the surrounding forest in flames, exacerbating the challenges faced by the heroes. He confronted Enji, revealing his original intention to kill Shoto and present him as a macabre gift, which he had failed to achieve. Dabi declared his intent to strip away everything Enji had fought to protect. Realizing the imminent threat Dabi posed, Enji propelled himself deep into the forest, goading Dabi into pursuit while the remaining heroes contended with Twice Doubles and All For One.

Unbeknownst to Enji, Dabi had been accumulating thermal energy within his body since his defeat at the hands of Shoto. The intensity of his Blueflames grew relentlessly, pushing him towards a cataclysmic explosion that would incinerate everything within a 5-kilometer radius in a devastating nuclear blast. His plan involved obliterating the evacuation zones, including his own family, in a tragic culmination.
Shoto received a critical message from Air Lock and Atmosphere Binder, who were in close proximity and rushing to provide assistance. They were aware of Dabi's escape and his specific targeting of Enji.

As Dabi relentlessly pursued Enji, his body began to crack and his flesh succumbed to the ravaging flames. Consumed by his own Blueflames, he lost all semblance of sanity and unleashed a vicious assault on his father. Yet, in a crucial moment, Enji managed to seize hold of Dabi and discerned the lingering influence of Rei's Frost Quirk within Dabi's Phosphor ability. Accepting his responsibility, Enji recognized that he couldn't allow Dabi to face his demise alone, nor let others suffer from the tragedy within their family. Determined, Enji channeled his entire arsenal of firepower, propelling both himself and Dabi high into the sky, prepared to detonate together.

However, before they could reach their cataclysmic fate, Rei appeared, employing her ice powers to halt their ascent. The Todoroki family, including Fuyumi and Natsuo, desperately endeavored to cool down Dabi. Fuyumi, possessing a higher resistance to Dabi's scorching heat, utilized her ice abilities to counteract the intense temperature emanating from her brother's body. Nonetheless, Dabi's flames proved immensely formidable to extinguish.

Fuyumi's quirk should have been inherently opposite to Dabi's, designed to counter his heat. However, she held back slightly due to concerns of suffering from severe frostbite and hypothermia, as well as the emotional struggle of fully unleashing her powers against her own twin brother. In the midst of the chaos, Hawks arrived on the scene. He had been diligently investigating the situation and tracking Dabi, fully aware of the imminent danger he represented. Swiftly assessing the dire circumstances, Hawks devised a strategy. With his feathers, he erected a protective barrier, shielding Dabi and the Todoroki family from the blistering heat.

Hawks swiftly contacted other heroes, sounding the alarm and urging immediate evacuation of the surrounding area. Time was of the essence, as Dabi's body teetered on the precipice of detonation. The heroes sprang into action, collaborating to clear the evacuation zones and ensure the safety of the innocent civilians.

Inside the protective barrier, Enji and Rei persisted in their desperate efforts to cool down Dabi. Enji reflected on his past transgressions and the immense pain he inflicted upon his family. He acknowledged this fleeting moment as an opportunity to atone for his sins and shield his loved ones from harm.

Shoto arrived at the scene, closely followed by Air Lock and Atmosphere Binder. Pushing himself beyond his limits, Shoto unleashed the devastating power of his Great Glacial Aegir, enveloping Dabi's inferno with a combination of fire and ice. Air Lock and Atmosphere Binder employed their unique quirks to halt Dabi's self-destruction and extinguish his flames, allowing them to dissipate and fade away.

In his final moments, weakened and on the verge of oblivion, Dabi uttered words infused with unbridled hatred for Enji, his father, and the entire Todoroki family. As Dabi lay there, Enji, severely wounded, desperately crawled towards his son, clutching onto him and offering a remorseful apology for not going to Sekoto Peak. Dabi responded with seething hatred, proclaiming his loathing for Enji and their entire family. Enji, devastated, broke down, imploring Dabi to unleash his wrath upon him. He expressed deep remorse to Rei for pushing her to the brink, Fuyumi for leaving her to pick up the shattered pieces, Natsuo for his neglect, and Shoto for all the pain inflicted.

As Dabi's body succumbed to the relentless frost, it froze from the inside out. Half of his form disintegrated into ash, while the other half remained frozen in place.

The Todoroki family mourned the loss of Dabi, grappling with a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Enji, in particular, was overwhelmed by guilt and sorrow, realizing the magnitude of his failures both as a father and a hero. Exhausted and injured, he succumbed to unconsciousness. Rei and Natsuo, suffering burns from Dabi's merciless quirk, also lost consciousness due to their lack of resistance to fire.

Fuyumi, having pushed her quirk to its limits, anticipated the potential loss of some fingers. Shoto, too, succumbed to overwhelming exhaustion, slipping into unconsciousness. Fuyumi, overcome by the tragic loss of her twin brother and feeling utterly alone as everyone else lay unconscious, found solace in tears. In the depths of her distress, her quirk manifested once again, flames igniting from her chest, further intensifying her emotional turmoil.

Coming to Fuyumi's aid, Atmosphere Binder stepped forward, helping her extinguish the uncontrolled fire, as she had yet to fully master its control. Unintentionally, this activation triggered her ice quirk once more, intermingling with the fire.

Despite the medical intervention, Enji eventually succumbed to his grievous injuries. He could never be forgiven or reunited with his healing family. It was a bittersweet conclusion, laden with sorrow and regret.
