Enji Todoroki

Enji Todoroki also known as the **Flame Hero: Endeavor** is the Pro Hero with the highest tally of resolved cases in history.

Following All Might's retirement, Endeavor temporarily became the No. 1 Hero after being the No. 2 Hero for a very long time and after the latest Hero Billboard Chart JP announcement, officially became the No. 1 Hero.

## Appearance

Enji is a tall, sturdily-built man with a very muscular physique.

He has short crimson hair, which he wears spiked up around his head, and sharp turquoise eyes.

His beard and mustache appear to be made of fire, but when he voluntarily turns off the flames on his face, a slight amount of stubble shows around his jaw.

His hero costume is comprises a tight, navy turquoise bodysuit, with flames streaming across his chest, upper torso, arms, and most prominently, his shoulders.

He uses his flames as a makeshift mask around his eyes, and his tall boots appear to be either made of fire themselves or constantly left alight, as only their soles and laces are visible around the flames.

He sports white bracers on his lower arms, styled in a cage pattern, and a blue belt with a pouch on either side.

After officially becoming the No. 1 Pro Hero, Endeavor's costume was upgraded.

His bracers have been redesigned to look sharper and armor-like, and they now completely encase his arms.

On the back of his hands are grill handguards with holes to flush a torrent of flames out the back of his hands if needed, and his fingers are exposed from the base knuckles.

His bodysuit now has large stripes running across his torso, completely engulfing the spaces between his flames.

Endeavor also added shoulder pads and a new belt that are made of the same material as his bracers.

His belt is a stylized kanji for ¨Flame.

During his battle against Hood, the left side of his face was greatly damaged after being hit by a surprise attack.

After receiving surgery and being healed by Recovery Girl's Heal Quirk, his eye was shown to be intact, though he now has a large, jagged scar reaching from his hairline all the way down to his chin.

During his childhood days, he bore a striking resemblance to his own son, Natsuo.

## Personality

Shoto has described his father as a prideful and ambitious man, driven by his goal to surpass the No. 1 Hero, All Might.

Dedicated to his studies and hero work, Enji strived to become the absolute strongest Pro Hero in the country.

He gave up that dream when he and All Might formed a relationship with Avery, Zoey's mother.

He was shown to be a care and loving father to his kids, comapred to his canon counterpart.

Upon learning that his first son, Toya, had stronger fire powers but a body that could not handle his flames, Enji quickly stopped forcing his efforts on Toya in fear for his well-being and was frustrated when he refused to quit and kept burning himself.

After the Kamino Incident, which resulted in All Might's retirement and Enji's succession as the No. 1 Hero, Enji's character shifted in a course.

Enji's interest in the title of No. 1 Pro Hero was always based on earning it through merit and ability, valuing his work in attaining the No. 1 spot more than the spot itself.

As such, he became furious about reaching the top through a technicality, feeling that his efforts from a lifetime were now wasted.

Sensing the rising crime and unrest in a society losing its Symbol of Peace, Enji began questioning his role and duty as the new No. 1 Hero.

As a Pro Hero, Enji is depicted as confident, reliable, and imposing, thanks to his excellent track record of solving cases.

His rude and aggressive personality is well-known to the public, with his fans thinking of them as a selling point while others are scared by his overall violent attitude.

Endeavor is particularly sensitive to being compared to All Might as he's always painted unfavorably towards the former No. 1 Hero.

Despite this, he does make an effort to interact with his fans upon becoming the new No. 1, as seen with him greeting Hiroshi Tameda, although he was shocked to see his new, more amicable side be met with harsh criticism.

Enji, whether during work or outside of it, is known for his bad temper.

He has a very no-nonsense attitude towards those he meets and is easily angered by goofier personalities.

This disposition, however, does not affect his competence as a Pro Hero in any shape or form.

Thanks to his studies, training, and valuable experience obtained as the No. 2 Hero, Enji knows how to strategically direct forces in battle, immediately understand his situation, and resolve incidents as fast as possible, with minimal casualties.

Enji and his agency pride themselves as experts in the three basics of heroism (suppression, rescue, and evacuation), believing that a true hero excels at all of those areas.

However, even Enji can have lapses in his bravery and immense resolve.

After Natsuo was kidnapped and held hostage by Ending, Enji froze in place and could not move, fearing that his son would never speak to him again had he saved him, only to embrace Natsuo in relief after he was saved.

During the Final War, it is revealed that Enji's motivation to be a hero stemmed from when he was a child after he saw his father try and save a little girl from a villain, only for both of them to end up being killed.

For all his strength and achievements, it's also revealed that Enji is deeply insecure about himself, knowing that he'll never be a true hero like All Might or his daughter Zoey and that he's faced this insecurity his entire life, to the point where he chose "Endeavor" as his hero name to reflect all his hard work and efforts.

## Skills & Abilities

* **Overall Abilities**: Endeavor was ranked 2nd of Japan's heroes before taking the spot of No. 1 after All Might's retirement. He is known for having the most solved cases out of any crime fighter, and by the age of 20, Endeavor took his place as the No. 2 Pro Hero. He also possesses a professional handle on his powerful Quirk, Hellflame, using his flames to overwhelm his opponents with extreme heat, becoming airborne with flame propulsion, among other applications. As he is ranked highly, Endeavor is a mighty hero, which has been proven in his fight against the League of Villains. He has repeatedly faced and defeated multiple grades of Nomu without sustaining any damage, something for which he is praised by the likes of All For One, history's most dangerous and experienced villain. During the Kamino Incident, Endeavor teamed up with Edgeshot to temporarily battle All For One, and emerge unscathed. Endeavor has also displayed the ability to contend with High-End Nomu such as Hood and Woman with help from other heroes. In the previous bout with Hood, Endeavor displayed his high speed and power by dicing a large portion of a skyscraper before it could collapse and incinerating most of Hood's body thrice. In the Paranormal Liberation War, Endeavor proved to be integral against the 75% body-enhanced Tomura Shigaraki, inflicting the most amount of damage (alongside Izuku Midoriya) that caused the villain's body to eventually break down, despite the Flame Hero being outmatched by Tomura. Shoto even remarked that Endeavor was the only one hoping to defeat All For One. He later proved this to be accurate, as with assistance from Hawks, he overwhelmed and would have incinerated the Demon Lord had it not been for his acquisition of the reverse-engineered Quirk-Destroying Drug.

* **Enhanced Strength**: After years of physical training, Endeavor obtained enhanced physical strength, though it is not at the level of All Might. Impressively, he could knock the enormous Gigantomachia backward with a flame-propelled skull bash.
* **Enhanced Durability**: Endeavor possesses above-average durability as he was able to withstand being thrown through multiple concrete-laced skyscraper walls by Hood, who was using various Quirks, and emerged with moderate injuries. When fighting a body-modified Tomura Shigaraki, Endeavor endured the impalement of the latter's Rivet Stab Quirk and several of his augmented blows despite the villain possessing physical strength that nearly rivals that of All Might. Afterward, Endeavor could skull-bash the thick-bodied Gigantomachia without suffering significant head trauma, but his attack knocked the pyromancer unconscious.
* **Enhanced Stamina**: Endeavor is far more resistant to pain than the average Pro Hero, as seen when he could stand up, despite receiving numerous attacks from Hood and long after his body should have become unable to move. During the climax of the Paranormal Liberation War, Endeavor's movements were stymied by his Quirk overuse burning his lungs and being repeatedly stabbed by Tomura's Rivet Stab Quirk. Despite the injuries, the pyrokinetic hero could still stand and eventually knock down Gigantomachia though Endeavor himself was put out of commission afterward.
* **Enhanced Reflexes**: Due to training to become the No. 1 hero, Endeavor learned to react exceedingly fast to dangerous situations and people in need. During his battle with Hood, he could counter one of his attacks with his "Jet Burn" despite his clouded vision. Later, while having a conversation outside with Izuku, Endeavor reacted to a cry for help before the shout reached the One For All inheritor.

* **Keen Intellect**: Endeavor has extraordinary intelligence, having used it to tally up the most resolved criminal cases in history. He has very keen deductive skills, shown when he deduced that Izuku's Quirk resembled that of All Might after only seeing it used briefly. During the Hosu Incident, Endeavor identified the nature of Four-Eyed Nomu's Absorption and Release Quirk and noticed that the creature retained damage from the low-temperature flame attack Endeavor employed, even after the creature redirected it back at the Flame Hero. Throughout his battle against Hood, Endeavor displayed more intelligence as he analyzed the situation against the High-End Nomu while fighting against it. When he witnessed Hood regenerate itself, while recollecting how the lighter-colored Nomus lacked the said ability, Endeavor surmised that the black Nomus have more capabilities than the other Nomu breeds. Endeavor later recalled how Hood was seeking a strong opponent, and discerned that the High-End Nomu wasn't interested in weaker opponents, hence the reason the villain spawned lower-level Nomu hindered the ignikinetic's reinforcements. Seeing Hood self-decapitate twice made Endeavor realize that said body part is the central weak point of the villain. In the climax of the strenuous bout, Endeavor took notice of Hood's higher feral and the Super Regeneration keeping up with the internal burns. To avoid collateral damage, Endeavor directed Hawks with an arrow of flame to use his nearly incinerated plumages to help Endeavor take to the skies even further. While facing the body-modified Tomura, Endeavor realized that the villain could leap vast distances through the air, not through Quirk usage, but due to pure strength yielding air pressure, similar to All Might.

* **Indomitable Will**: One of Endeavor's most prominent traits is his ability never to give up, befitting his hero's name. This tenacity is shown in two significant instances: he continues to bridge the gap between himself and All Might regardless of the differences in their abilities and continues to push past his limits and injuries in his battle against Hood. In the latter instance, Endeavor, seeing his old self reflected in Hood, resolved to no longer be the misguided and virulent person he has been his whole life and used that resolution to go beyond his bodily limitations and finally defeat the High-End Nomu for good, all while finally embracing U.A. High School 's "Plus Ultra" credo that he previously deplored. In the climax of the Paranormal Liberation War, after failing to destroy a body-augmented Tomura Shigaraki, an injured and exhausted Endeavor could summon the strength to attack Gigantomachia despite Dabi's attempts to break his spirit thanks to the words of Akatani.

## Quirk

**Hellflame**: Enji's Quirk allows him to produce and manipulate large amounts of extremely intense fire at will.

He appears to be immune to other flames, and can easily control the shape and temperature of the blaze as well.

Enji's level of control enables him to utilize his flames in unorthodox ways, such as concentrating flames and heat to his feet to achieve limited flight.

He has been shown shaping his flames into long-range and melee weapons, such as when he struck a Nomu with a spear made of fire and is even capable of emitting fire from his eyes as shown when he burned All For One's hand when the villain attempted to steal his Quirk.

Using too much of his power will overheat Endeavor's body, causing a depletion of stamina, and an impairment of his physical functions.
