BN // MHA S2 EP23

Intro —————————————————————————— Shoto Todoroki : Origin { 轟 焦凍 : オリジン , Todoroki Shōto : Orijin ? } is the twenty-third episode of the My Hero Academia anime and the tenth episode of the second season. Summary. The fated duel between Izuku and Shoto has finally arrived. As soon as it begins, Shoto leads with an ice attack, but Izuku counters with a Delaware Smash. Shoto creates a pillar of ice behind him to keep him from being blown out of bounds, as he expected Izuku to break his finger in order to negate the ice attack. Izuku counters Shoto’s ice attack. All Might comments that this was likely the only way Izuku could have retaliated. Izuku is forced to damage a second finger to stop Shoto’s next attack and mulls over that he only has six more chances, and must find Shoto’s weakness before he breaks all his fingers. Shoto doesn’t let up and continues his onslaught of ice attacks. In Class 1-A’s section of the stands, Eijiro returns from defeating Tetsutetsu. He sarcastically compliments Katsuki and Shoto for having techniques that blast through the whole stadium, annoying Yuki who can also do the same. Katsuki responds by explaining that Quirks are physical abilities and can get worn out just like anything else. He takes a moment to ponder that this is the very reason he designed his costume in such a way so that he could go beyond his own limits. Story. Izuku fears he won’t find an opening in time. Shoto’s assault continues, forcing Izuku to break the last finger on his right hand. However, Shoto withstands the smash and creates a tower of ice to run up and close the distance between them. Izuku uses another smash to break the ice steps apart, but Shoto avoids it and nearly freezes Izuku at close range.
