What Shouto and Dabi are doing here is called a mudra.
Specifically it looks like the Hakini Mudra. Which would make sense as that mudra is meant to calm and focus the mind.
Normalize calling Shouto by his first name and not his last, especially if you call the other family members by their first names. (this is a pet peeve when someone calls everyone else their first name and he is just Todoroki. 😭 They are all Todoroki's!)
My favorite character has to be Shouto hands down by far. I wouldn't have gotten into mha if he wasn't created. His story of healing and overcoming trauma is very inspirational to me. I connect with his journey of self discovery and just trying to be better alot.

Shouto canonically:
- emotionally stunted
- was isolated
- mom disfigured him
- oldest sibling wanted to kill him
- dad abused him
- forced to train at age 5
- natsuo admitted to hating him
- SA baby and comes from a history of inbreeding
If you are still saying things like "Shouto was sidelined" or "Ochako is just a love interest" in the big year of 2024 I'm not taking you seriously. If you ignored everything they did especially in this final or think it doesn't matter than I don't know what to tell you.
my mother doesn't hug me. she doesn't know what to do with me. my father has the kind of anger all fathers do ﹔ loud and terrible. it lingers for your whole life.
saying "my life sucks" when something goes wrong
- self deprecating
- depressing
- makes you sadder
saying "Todoroki Shouto wouldn't want this for me" when something goes wrong
- motivating
- makes you remember Todoroki Shouto
- reminds you that Todoroki Shouto cares for you
I don't want to see people comparing Shouto and Touya abuse please. The point is that Endeavor abuse them period point blank. No one is lying and all four siblings and Rei are vaild for feeling how they do.
I don't understand how people can hate Shouto, he is a very emotionally mature character that goes through so much and he is only 16 years old. I connect with his story alot.
saying "my life sucks" when something goes wrong
- self deprecating

saying "Dabi wouldn't want this for me" when something goes wrong he would tell you to burn it
- motivating

- reminds you that Dabi cares for you
Alot of people don't give Shouto credit for things that he has done or his character journey. He was the only one to try and do something about Dabi even if he lost while Endeavor stood there for many chapters not stopping it. We wouldn't even have got the Todoroki subplot
I don't understand the hate for Shouto and Dabi/Touya lately. They are both good characters get over it. People actually prefer Min*tea over Shouto. If you think that Shouto is a boring character then you don't understand what his character represents in the story overall.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HAWKS! (

) I got super excited when I learned that his VA was African American and cute. 👉👈😊🤭💖 He feels like Hawks in irl and they couldn't have casted a better person for the character.
Shouto and Touya as children in a hourglass, the sand has stopped falling. The boys are hugging one another while shadows of the present are above doing a similar action.
Shouto was able to stop time in that moment to save Touya as the sand had almost consumed him.
