Due to his Quirks and recommendation letter by the number 2 hero (at the time), Endeavor, Todoroki managed to pass without taking the U.A. entrance exam. Even though strong or geniuses students need to take this test to be accepted at U.A.

This was thanks to the hard training Endeavor had given Todoroki. He hoped that his son could surpass All Might one day. Despite his effort, Endeavor regretted his actions because he had gone too far, and he even lost one of his children who was treated like Todoroki.

8. Once a Happy Child

If you pay attention, Todoroki is not a talkative and cheerful teenager. Even though he used to be a child who often smiled and was cheerful, this is due to the harsh treatment by his father who kept forcing him to practice.

9. Midoriya Was an Important Figure in His Development

Before meeting Midoriya, Todoroki was a boy who looked gloomy and didn't like interacting with his classmates. This was due to the influence of Endeavor being too harsh on him. But Todoroki's behavior changed over time as he fought Midoriya at the U.A. Sports Festival.
