### **Description**

Shoto is a student in Class 3-A at U.A. High School, where he got in through official recommendations and is training to become a Pro Hero. He is the youngest son of Endeavor, the No. 1 (formerly No. 2) Hero.

Desperate to surpass All Might, Enji arranged a Quirk Marriage with Rei Himura to conceive a child who could inherit both his fire Quirk and Rei's ice Quirk.

However, his older children failed to meet his expectations. The oldest, twins Toya and Fuyumi, possessed powerful fire and ice Quirks each, but lacked resistance to their own flames/ice. Then Natsuo, their next child, only inherited his mother's ice Quirk. As a result of his father stoping his training, Toya grew resentful and even attempted to attack his newborn brother, Shoto. After the incident, Shoto's siblings were separated from him.

Shoto became Endeavor's "masterpiece" as the only child who inherited both fire and ice Quirks. From a young age, he endured harsh training that pushed him to his limits, leading to physical and emotional strain. Enji isolated Shoto from his siblings and abused him and his mother, Rei. Despite the mistreatment, Rei supported Shoto and encouraged him to become a hero.

One night, while watching a TV special featuring All Might, Rei told Shoto that he wasn't bound by his bloodline and could become whoever he desired, regardless of Enji being his father. This gave Shoto hope and a sense of independence.

Meanwhile, Toya, still longing for his father's acknowledgement, continued to train in secret. When Enji discovered that Toya was still training, he lashed out at Rei and scolded her for not doing the one thing he'd told her to do. His's behavior and treatment towards his family worsened over time, causing Rei to resent him.

The domestic abuse eventually took a toll on Rei's mental stability, leading to a traumatic incident where she unintentionally burned Shoto's left side with boiling water, as that was the side that looked like Enji. Realizing what she had done, Rei desperately tried to heal him while apologizing.

Sometime after this incident, Shoto asked Enji where his mother was, to which he coldly replied that he sent her to the hospital for hurting him. Shoto blamed Enji, saying that everything that happened was his fault. Afterwards, Shoto began to forget about his mother's supportive words, putting him under the idea of rejecting his father. It was also around this time that Toya seemingly died, which resulted in Enji going all in to his harsh training, feeling he couldn't turn back after having "killed" Toya.

Shoto's dark upbringing and strained relationship with his father shaped him into a determined but emotionally guarded individual, focused on rejecting his father's legacy.

Shoto participated in the U.A. Recommendation Entrance Exam, where he encountered Inasa Yoarashi. Inasa tried to ask Shoto about his father, but was totally blown off. Both of them raced in the same leg of the practical exam, Inasa just barely taking first place in front of Shoto. Inasa tried to befriend Shoto yet again, but Shoto insulted him and told him to get out of his way.

Because of this, dispite getting a place at U.A. Inasa decided to go to Shiketsu High School.

During the Sports Festival, Shoto and his classmates participate in various events to showcase their abilities and compete against each other. Shoto specifically focuses on defeating Izuku, as he believes he is stronger than him. In the obstacle race, Shoto uses his ice powers to freeze a giant villain bot and secure a lead. He continues to perform well in the subsequent events, including the Cavalry Battle, where he forms a team with Tenya, Momo, and Denki.

During the Cavalry Battle, Shoto's team corners Team Midoriya but is unable to defeat them due to Izuku's strategic moves. In the one-on-one fighting tournament, Shoto faces Izuku in an intense battle. Shoto initially relies on his ice powers but eventually decides to use his fire as well. Izuku pushes Shoto to use his full strength and challenges him to do his best. Inspired by Izuku's determination, Shoto unleashes his flames and unlocks his full potential.

The fight escalates, with both Shoto and Izuku exchanging powerful attacks. Ultimately, Shoto unleashes a massive fire blast, and Izuku counters with a full-powered smash. The clash causes a destructive explosion, and when the smoke clears, Shoto is declared the winner, but Izuku is knocked unconscious.

After the battle, Shoto encounters his father who commends him for using his left side but advises him to learn control. Shoto reflects on his past and his desire to reject his father's influence. He thanks Izuku for helping him break free from his self-repression and expresses his own aspirations to become a hero.

The next day, Shoto decides to visit his mother in the psychiatric ward despite his sister's disapproval. He has always believed that his presence would only cause his mother more pain, so he had never visited her before. However, Shoto realizes that he needs closure from his mother in order to move forward and become a hero without any emotional baggage. With great courage, he approaches her and resolves to have a conversation to address their past and hopefully free her from the ward's custody.

During the Ultimate Move Training, Shoto hones his skills by practicing the simultaneous release of both sides of his Quirk. He also upgrades his costume with improved snow boots and wrist guards to regulate the temperatures of his Quirk. Class 1-A undergoes ten days of training in preparation for the provisional licensing exam. Shoto's peers discover that he was not the top scorer among the recommended students.

On the day of the exam, Class 1-A arrives at the National Dagobah Stadium. Shoto encounters a familiar student from Shiketsu High School, Inasa, who is revealed to be the top student among the recommended students. The students from Ketsubutsu Academy High School also greet Class 1-A. The orientation explains the rules of the exam, and the students are divided into different areas of the arena.

While most of Class 1-A sticks together, Shoto decides to go off on his own as he feels uncomfortable using his Quirk in a big group. He hides and waits for an opportunity to take advantage of the clashes between other teams. However, the exam progresses quickly, and Shoto realizes he can't just wait around. He is confronted by a group of students from Seijin High School and engages in a battle with them.

Shoto strategically uses his ice and fire Quirks to defeat his opponents, utilizing the surroundings to his advantage. He passes the first phase of the exam by eliminating two of the Seijin students. In the anteroom, he confronts Inasa, and tensions rise between them due to their personal feelings.

In the second phase of the exam, focused on rescue operations, Shoto initially sticks with Class 1-A but later goes with Tsuyu and Toru to rescue civilians. The exam intensifies when Gang Orca and his villains invade the arena, requiring the students to balance rescue operations with suppressing the villains. Shoto clashes with Inasa, and their personal feud hinders their performance.

During the battle, Shoto realizes the consequences of his past actions and acknowledges that he can no longer ignore his feelings about his father. He decides to make amends and works with Inasa to trap Gang Orca using their combined Quirks. They are on the verge of defeat but are saved by Izuku. The test ends abruptly, and the students change back into their uniforms.

Shoto discovers that he failed the exam, realizing it was a result of his own actions. However, he learns that there is a three-month remedial course available for those who didn't pass, giving him hope to catch up with his friends.

He attended the course and passed it along with Katsuki Bakugo, Camie Utsushimi, and Inasa. After he left the course, Enji approached him. Enji said it had been a long time since they last saw each other. He reached out to his son, but Shoto smacked his hand away. Despite Shoto's rejection, Enji expressed his pride in his son and his desire to become a hero that Shoto could be proud of. Shoto awkwardly told Enji to do as he pleased. Enji left, and Shoto watched him with a smile.

After Enji becomes the new No. 1 Hero, he is attacked by a powerful Nomu named Hood. The battle is televised as the city is devastated by the monster. Despite Enji's efforts, Hood proves to be a formidable opponent, overpowering the No. 1 Hero. Shoto watches in shock as his father is knocked down and seemingly defeated.

However, Enji refused to give up and continues to fight. As Shoto's classmates and Aizawa check on him, he witnesses a citizen standing up for Enji and acknowledging his dedication to protecting them. Encouraged by this support, Shoto passionately cheers on his father as Enji makes a final stand against Hood.

In a climactic moment, Enji unleashes a devastating attack called Plus Ultra Prominence Burn, incinerating High-End and emerging victorious. Shoto collapses to his knees in relief, grateful that his father is still alive.

Given permission to leave the school grounds, Shoto returns home and reunites with his siblings, Fuyumi and Natsuo, over lunch. Their father enters the house, and Shoto makes a sarcastic comment about his new scar. Fuyumi expresses her disappointment at their lack of proper greeting, and Natsuo angrily storms out, believing their father will never change and doesn't deserve forgiveness.

Shoto reflects on Natsuo's emotional state, and they all listen to the television broadcast discussing public opinion about Enji. Shoto acknowledges that Enji has done incredible things as a hero but admits that he hasn't forgiven his father. However, he remains open to the possibility of his father changing, recognizing the impact that positive influences can have on a person.

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 Endeavor 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.

Shoto, devastated by the revelations, pleaded with his father to protect their friends while he and Nejire confronted Dabi. Shoto and Dabi engaged in a heated battle, with Dabi sadistically enjoying the prospect of killing his younger brother. Mirio Togata arrived and separated Dabi from Shoto, defending his friends. Izuku also intervened, stating that Dabi's actions could not be blamed on Endeavor.

Dabi mocked Izuku's defense and proclaimed that chaos would reign over the future, but before he could fully break free from Best Jeanist's restraints, Endeavor landed a powerful blow on the towering villain, rendering him unconscious. Dabi, having lost his reason to fight, apologized to Shoto for the change of plans and blasted him with a devastating attack before retreating.

Shoto survived the attack but was severely burnt. Tomura, now under the control of All For One, escaped with Dabi's help, leaving Shoto and the others to deal with the aftermath. Days later, Shoto recovered at the hospital alongside his classmates and was visited by his older siblings. Shoto realized that he had to personally confront Toya and not rely solely on Endeavor.

When his family, including his mother, confronted Endeavor, Shoto offered his father support and extended his hand, ready to face Toya together. Hawks and Best Jeanist, who had overheard their conversation, offered their assistance in dealing with Dabi. Despite the revelations and challenges ahead, Shoto remained determined to protect his family and friends, embracing his role as the family's hero.

Later on, the Todoroki family, particularly Shoto and Dabi, had a confrontation. Dabi, who was revealed to be Toya Todoroki, engaged in a fierce battle with Shoto in Kamino Ward. Dabi used his powerful fire Quirk to create a massive fire tornado and burned down the surrounding area. He mocked Shoto for being a pawn in their father Endeavor's plan and belittled him for depending on others.

During their battle, Dabi revealed his tragic backstory to Shoto. He explained that after his fire Quirk went out of control and left him severely burned, he was found by All For One and partially restored by Dr. Kyudai. However, upon returning home, he discovered that his family had moved on, and Shoto had become the center of Endeavor's attention. Feeling abandoned and consumed by his desire for revenge, Dabi dedicated himself to destroying Endeavor and improving his own power.

Despite Shoto's efforts to stop him, Dabi unleashed a powerful attack called Flashfire Fist: Hell Spider. He mocked Shoto for being a half-baked puppet and unleashed his rage upon him. However, Shoto managed to neutralize Dabi's flames and fought back with his own Ultimate Move, Flashfire Fist: Phosphor. The battle intensified as Dabi and Shoto clashed with their respective Quirks.

In the end, Shoto emerged as the victor, using his new Ultimate Move, Great Glacial Aegir, to freeze Dabi and defeat him.

With Dabi finally unconscious, the heroes cheered over Shoto's success, ready to deal with the remaining villains and Nomu. The exhausted Shoto held onto Dabi until a couple of heroes arrived to help apprehend him. Ida approached Shoto, who then apologized for ruining his engines due to his giant attack, but Ingenium told him there was nothing to apologize for.

However, Dabi managed to survive by copying Shoto's Phosphor technique, protecting himself from being completely frozen. He proceeded to burn Kido and Onima alive, rejuvenating himself with their flames.

Dabi received information from Skeptic about Endeavor's location and left the battle with Shoto to join the fight against Endeavor and All For One at the Gunga Mountain Villa ruins. Dabi decided to fly toward Gunga, ignoring Shoto's pleas to continue the fight. Skeptic told Dabi that he would provide him with a free ride, and a Warp Gate suddenly appeared before Dabi. He entered the Warp Gate and was teleported to Endeavor's location. Dabi emerged from the portal, greeting his father.

Dabi proceeded to burn down the surrounding forest, causing further trouble for the heroes. Himiko transformed into Twice, summoning a large number of Twice Doubles throughout the battlefield.

Dabi confronted Endeavor, informing him that he originally planned to kill Shoto and bring him as a present but failed. He declared his intention to take everything Endeavor tried to protect. Endeavor realized the danger Dabi posed and jetted himself into the forest, leading Dabi to chase after him while the remaining heroes dealt with the Twice Doubles and All For One.

Just then, Ida and Shoto received a call on their communicators from All Might, telling them to run to Gunga as he informed them of even worse news. They learned that ever since he defeated Dabi, he had been internally compressing thermal energy inside his body, and it continued to compress even more. With all of his Blueflames building up, in about ten minutes, his body would explode and cremate everything within 5 kilometers in a massive nuclear blast. In addition, several of the U.A. evacuation blocks were trapped directly within the blast radius.
All Might warn them about all this, telling Tenya to run there and telling Shoto that after overcoming so many hardships, he knew his mind and body were one.
Initially, Shoto was worried that Tenya was unable to run all the way to Gunga since his Engine was stalled, but he simply responded that the rain cooled his Engines off, reminding Shoto that his legs existed to guide wayward children. Tenya put his mask and armor on Shoto as he blasted off at his Maximum Speed while carrying Shoto across the city to reach Gunga.

At this point, Shoto and Ida received another message from Air Lock and Atmosphere Binder, who informed them that they were nearby and on their way to assist. They were aware that Dabi had escaped and was targeting Endeavor.

Shoto created a makeshift fighter jet made out of ice and powered by Tenya's Engine, using the ice to minimize their drag and his heat to reduce friction. Shoto reactivated his Phosphor once again while the rest of Tenya's armour started to blast off him as they rushed to Dabi minutes away from his nuclear explosion.

While Dabi relentlessly pursued Endeavor, his body started to crack, and his flesh burned away. Consumed by his Blueflames, he lost his sanity and viciously attacked his father. However, Endeavor managed to grab hold of Dabi and recognized the presence of Rei's Frost Quirk within Dabi's Phosphor. Acknowledging his responsibility, Endeavor realized that he could not let Dabi die alone or let others suffer from their family tragedy. He decided to use all his firepower to launch both of them into the sky and explode together.

Before they could go too far, Rei appeared and used her ice powers to stop them. The Todoroki family, including Fuyumi and Natsuo, desperately attempted to cool down Dabi. Fuyumi, who was mostly immune to Dabi's heat, counteracted the intense temperature emanating from her brother's body using her ice abilities. However, Dabi's flames proved to be too powerful to extinguish easily.

Fuyumi's quirk should have been perfectly opposite to Dabi's, as it was designed to counteract his heat. However, Fuyumi held back slightly for two reasons: to avoid suffering from hypothermia and frostbite and because it was difficult for her to go all out against her twin.

Amidst the chaos, Hawks arrived at the scene. He had been investigating the situation and tracking Dabi, fully aware of the danger he posed. Hawks quickly assessed the situation and devised a plan. He created a barrier with his feathers, forming a temporary shield against the intense heat to protect Dabi and the Todoroki family.

Hawks contacted other heroes and alerted them to the situation, urging them to evacuate the surrounding area immediately. Time was of the essence, as Dabi's body was on the verge of exploding. The heroes swiftly mobilized, working together to clear the evacuation blocks and ensure the safety of civilians.

Inside the barrier, Endeavor and Rei continued their desperate efforts to cool down Dabi. Endeavor reflected on his past mistakes and the pain he inflicted on his family. He recognized this as his opportunity to atone for his sins and protect his loved ones.

Ida and Shoto then arrived at the scene, followed shortly by Air Lock and Atmosphere Binder. Ida throws Shoto towards the ongoing fight, before falling down due to his engine failing.

Shoto pushed himself beyond his limits and unleashed his Great Glacial Aegir on Dabi, engulfing the inferno with his fire and ice. Air Lock and Atmosphere Binder utilized their quirks to halt Dabi's self-destruction and cause his flames to dissipate and burn out.

In his final moments, with his strength waning, Dabi whispered his last words filled with hatred for Endeavor, his father, and his entire family. With those words, Dabi succumbed to the intense heat, disintegrating into ash.

The Todoroki family mourned the loss of Dabi, each grappling with conflicting emotions. Endeavor, in particular, was overwhelmed by guilt and sorrow, realizing the magnitude of his failures as both a father and a hero. Exhausted and injured, Endeavor passed out. Rei and Natsuo, who suffered burns from Dabi's quirk, also lost consciousness due to their lack of resistance to fire.

Fuyumi, having overused her quirk, noted that she would likely lose some fingers. Shoto, too, succumbed to exhaustion and passed out. Fuyumi, overwhelmed by the loss of her twin brother and feeling alone as everyone else was unconscious, began to cry. In her distress, her quirk manifested, and she started generating fire from her chest, intensifying her emotional turmoil.

Atmosphere Binder stepped in to help Fuyumi extinguish her fire since she didn't know how to control it yet, and its activation unintentionally triggered her ice quirk.

At the hospital, Enji ultimately succumbed to his injuries. This moment brought a mix of emotions for Shoto—a bittersweet realization. He never had the chance to fully forgive his father while he was alive, as that opportunity was abruptly taken away. Now, Shoto is determined to honor Enji's vision and actively work towards repairing the fractured bonds within the Todoroki family, providing solace to their collective grief.

The intense battle left lasting scars on Natsuo, Rei, and Shoto. Each of them bore burns as painful reminders of the ordeal they endured. Additionally, Fuyumi, in her dedication to the cause, sacrificed two fingers on her right hand and three on her left.

As they begin the healing process, Shoto holds onto the hope of forging a brighter future, where understanding and reconciliation prevail among the Todoroki family.
