Sorry you feel like you're the only one posting in this thread for the past week.
Deku, you wonderful, sweet son of a bitch. Only you could have convinced Todoroki to stop worrying about his father and go all out!
We already know what Todoroki's life was like, but now we get to see every tragic, ugly detail. And it's heart-wrenching. His mom having bad luck when he happened to eavesdrop on her call, expressing how she just had it with raising the kid. And how his dad is an utter crap person for abusing her. I really wanted to see him get some kind of comeuppance near the end of the ep, but instead the episode cuts right after Midnight announces the winner. I hope Todoroki gives him the lecture he deserves. I hope the karma comes up later.
I love how it turns out that Todoroki was ALSO a fan of All Might, like Deku! That is a great parallel (I am reminded of the premise for Little Witch Academia too)!
