Endeavor — Enji Todoroki

The Flame Hero

Endeavor is the No. 2 hero for most of the series, a blazing powerhouse consumed by the obsession of surpassing All Might. Ferociously driven and long defined by his flaws, he is one of the story’s most complicated figures.

Hellflame

Endeavor’s Quirk, Hellflame, lets him generate and control intense fire, making him one of the most destructive heroes alive. His raw power is undeniable, and he has spent his life honing it toward a single, unreachable goal.

The cost of ambition

Endeavor’s pursuit of the top ruined his family. He engineered his son Shoto through a loveless marriage to create a hero who could surpass All Might, and the abuse that followed casts a long shadow over the series.

Seeking redemption

When All Might retires, Endeavor inherits the burden of the No. 1 rank and, with it, a chance to confront what he has done. His attempt to atone — as a hero and, harder still, as a father — makes him one of the franchise’s most unusual redemption arcs.
