DEADPOOL MAKING A DABI REFERENCE

Btw I have this screenshot saved from some months ago cause I always kinda assumed she was attacking him here, just as similar as how his real mom spanked his ass as punishment out of nowhere but shes not being aggresive.

Both of them are smiling, shes only showing him love in a violent way. Ough </3 the mom that stepped up fr

Sharing another translation of an article interviewing Yuki Kaji, Todoroki’s voice actor! When I tried searching I only found some partial and rough translations and there were a couple nice lines in here so I decided to translate the whole thing for everyone. Apologies if it’s been done before.

This interview discusses episode 10 of season two… “Shoto Todoroki: Origin” and Kaji’s thoughts on it.

My favorite part is when Kaji describes Todoroki’s past pain and trauma like a scab: “I believe the wounds on Todoroki’s heart were painful, covered in a thick scab but still fresh and bleeding underneath. Todoroki ignored that scab up until now, but Izuku’s actions and words started to tear it off.” 💔

This is just my take on a translation– feel free to message me if you notice any mistakes and I’ll try to fix as soon as possible!

The original article was posted June 2, 2017 on Animate Times and several other sites. I’ve included screencaps in this post in case it’s taken down in the future.

“A drama you have to know when talking about Todoroki” — Special Interview with Yuki Kaji who plays Todoroki in My Hero Academia! Includes Screenshots from the 10th Episode Airing 6/3

Popular TV anime series My Hero Academia is airing now, and coming up tomorrow June 3rd is episode 10 “Shoto Todoroki: Origin”. This episode is one of the most popular from the original manga so we got a special interview with Shoto Todoroki’s voice actor Yuki Kaji to discuss its importance!

The second one-on-one battle of the UA Sports Festival is Izuku versus Shoto Todoroki— and Todoroki is purposely not using his father’s flame Quirk. This is a must see episode with amazing action and drama, the lead character designer Yoshihiko Umakoshi even took the role of animation director for this episode himself!

Special Interview with Yuki Kaji (Role: Shoto Todoroki)

Q: How has it been voicing Todoroki from season one until now?

Kaji: During season one, Todoroki was just this kind of mysterious character with a powerful Quirk and good fighting skills, just kind of a generically strong character. I had read the original manga and knew what would happen later in the story so tried to play his role conscious of why he was acting the way he was and filling in the blanks. So there wasn’t a big change for me between season one and season two. However, in season two we’re starting to see him show his emotions a bit more and his personality is becoming more clear, so it feels like I can finally play him the way I originally planned.

Q: What state of mind were you in when recording “Shoto Todoroki: Origin”?

Kaji: There are a lot of characters in My Hero Academia but there are only a few with speaking roles in this episode, which made it feel even more tense than usual. This was an episode I really enjoyed in the original manga and so I was really focused when I went in to record it. But Todoroki isn’t the kind of character to openly display his emotions like Izuku is, so I was careful not to let my personal excitement and passion come out too much while recording– especially for the first half of this episode.

Q: Todoroki is really aware of Izuku here.

Kaji: Todoroki is depicted as even more irritated by Izuku and his father Endeavor in the anime than he is in the original manga. So I am often directed to act that way. Todoroki hates his father Endeavor, who tried to forcefully raise him to be someone who could surpass All Might. As a result, he’s also bothered by Izuku who has a connection with All Might, and Todoroki decides he wants to win against Izuku even though he feels a hint of contradiction inside of himself.

I think he’s upset with himself and confused by his own actions because despite wanting to go against his father he’s actually kind of doing exactly what he wanted. On top of that, he always thought he could easily win against Izuku and never saw him as a threat but then all of the sudden he felt incredible energy coming from Izuku’s Quirk. I think Izuku became someone he couldn’t not be aware of after all that.

Q: What was it like acting one-on-one with Daiki Yamashita who plays Izuku?

Kaji: In the past I’ve had a lot of roles like Izuku, so it felt kind of new to be in an opposite kind of role like Todoroki playing against Yamashita-kun’s Izuku. When acting I always start to get really excited but… Todoroki is Todoroki so I can’t let it show (lol). Also, the sound director told Yamashita-kun “Think about how it feels facing up against your great rival, Kaji-san” to get him fired up but honestly that just put weird pressure on me (awkward smile). Yamashita-kun really came at me acting with an amazing energy, so I went all out in return.

Q: Todoroki has the same goal as Izuku, to become a hero.

Kaji: Yes, I believe Todoroki dreamed of being a hero when he was a child and looked up to All Might. Maybe he thinks that he can get one step closer to All Might by beating Izuku, who All Might has been giving special attention to. But if Todoroki hadn’t felt something from Izuku words, if he had never tried to overcome his relationship with his father and his past with his mother, I don’t believe he ever could have gotten closer to All Might even if he beat Izuku. I believe the wounds on Todoroki’s heart were painful, covered in a thick scab but still fresh and bleeding underneath. Todoroki ignored that scab up until now, but Izuku’s actions and words started to tear it off. So how will this change Todoroki? I hope you’ll watch and find out.

Q: How do you feel now that recording is over?

Kaji: I’m not sure…  there’s a scene in this episode that myself and I assume other fans of the original manga were really looking forward too, and the action and lines leading up to that scene are really exciting and emotional. But unlike Izuku, Todoroki isn’t the type to yell and speak his mind. So I had to think of how to how to really show Todoroki’s emotions at just that one point. I guess I ended up bewildered kind of like Todoroki himself, after the recording and even now it still feels kind of strange. But this episode is where Todoroki begins to change and maybe I’m changing along with him.

Q: Lastly, please send a message to all the viewers!

Kaji: I have been looking forward to the “Shoto Todoroki: Origin” episode and recording THAT line since I first found out I would be playing Todoroki. I’m sure fans of the original manga have really been looking forward to this episode as well. All of the cast and staff are overflowing with passion and love as we make the My Hero Academia anime. You have to know about the drama in this episode to talk about Todoroki… and to understand how he changes in future episodes be sure to watch this episode to see what started it all. Check it out!

WHAT DID HE DO TO GAWAIN

Primal Perry

Anyone else notice how much genuine fear and tiredness we saw in perry this episode? Like when he actually took a moment to pause and enjoy himself like this you can see how genuinely exhausted he is.

He had to fight for his life repeatedly in this episode to the point he was attacking and evading with not the goal of winning like when hes fighting doof, but the goal of living/surviving through this situation.

I don't think people fully realize how dangerous his job gets sometimes. It's mentioned a lot how goofy but sometimes dangerous his and doofs fight are/get. But when it comes to episodes like primal perry or the intro to sidetracked we see the darker and more dangerous sides to his job.

Its definitely an interesting side to what he does we get to see in these episodes. Although it definitely shows how much he goes through and does to protect people.
