it's good to be K I N G ► shoto todoroki [my hero academia]

FIRST VIDEO OF 2021!!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! AND A HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO MR ICY HOT HIMSELF, SHOTO TODOROKI! His birthday was January 11, but I didn't have this finished in time. But better late than never.

Still on my anime kick. I love My Hero Academia. I did not expect to love it as much as I do. But I'm lowkey obsessed. And I LOVE Todoroki. He is my absolute favorite MHA character. I actually started watching the series because I thought he was one of the main characters. And in a way, I guess he is. He gets a decent amount of screentime after s1 (except in s4. the first arc was so hard for me to get through). He was so hyped up on twitter that I actually thought he was the lead. But since watching anime and learning how its fandom operates, I've learned that people tend to usually hype up side characters more than the main characters. Not that the mcs are bad. I actually really adore Midoriya.

But like I said, Shoto is my favorite MHA character....and one of my favorite fictional characters ever. I just find him so interesting. His character design is cool. And the concept of his quirk with fire and ice powers is interesting. He's such a badass. But I find it easy to empathize with him and relate to him. I relate to his demeanor so much. We're both introverted, depressed, have insecurities and trauma (his are so much more extreme than mine tho), get annoyed with people really easily, are shy and socially awkward, but are intellectually competent. We both also love to sleep (and can sleep anywhere) and love to eat. Todoroki's character development is very gradual, but still worth being appreciated. In the beginning he was deeply closed off emotionally. And because of the abuse from his parents (mainly his father), he didn't use his fire powers at all because it was associated with how his father treated him and his mother. But in time (and encouragement from Midoriya), he comes to embrace the power as his own. It just warms my heart that Shoto learned to appreciate himself after the deep trauma he went through to get there. I definitely want to do a more serious video on Shoto in the future that explores those aspects of his character. I JUST LOVE HIM SO MUCH!

This video is short, but I'm really happy with it. I've been wanting to make a video with this song for years, but didn't have the right character in mind to use for it to get me inspired. But it seemed so perfect for Todoroki. He's so badass and I love him with my whole heart forever.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON 5 AND THE THIRD MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
