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. As Izuku dashes at Shoto, the latter attempts to freeze him. Without any fingers left to use, Izuku pulls back his thumb using his cheek in order to release another smash to blast Shoto away. Shoto asks again why Izuku is putting himself through so much pain, to which his opponent replies it’s because he’s prepared to do whatever it takes to become a hero. After headbutting Shoto, Izuku again challenges him to use his full strength, telling him to stop screwing around because even if he wants to reject his father, Shoto doesn’t have the right to be the best if he’s not prepared to do his best. Story. Izuku’s words make Shoto recall the terrible memories of his past. As more frost covers his body, Shoto remembers he and his mother being abused by Endeavor. As well as a time where he pleaded to his mother about not wanting to become like his father, to which she replies by asking if Shoto still wants to become a hero. Izuku capitalizes and strikes Shoto with another controlled One For All smash, and declares that he will surpass him.
