I have a theory/headcanon that he and Dark Shadow represent Huginn and Muninn, or Odin's ravens Thought and Memory, or that Dark Shadow is like a Valkyrie, either way, he is such a Norse buff.
fun fact: baldur's death is one of the signs of the coming of ragnarok
both are fumikage's move names (i think he likes norse mythology?)
This is part of the reason that I don't like when people characterize him as being this really stoic emotionally unavailable character, because he is super emotionally available, but he just isn't emotionally intelligent if that makes sense.
He's just a really sweet guy who happens to be rather dense, not dense in that he doesn't recognise peoples emotion but rather in that he isn't super good at social cues in working out why people tend to feel those emotions.
But I really do love how he puts away all of his pride, which honestly Shoto doesn't seem to have a lot of to instantly give her the motivation, I know canonically it was because they were both heavily reliant on their quirks but I think it was also because of Shoto's self confidence, well less so confidence just he lacked the care for what other thought of him in a sense, he get's over himself without question because.
A. That get's them the win
B. Put's her back in the game
He knows she's competent, massively so as can be seen by her dissection of the Training Fight in which she broke down why everyone got their scores, and she out maneuvered him in the sports fest, I think he was in a way rather distraught that she was feeling so bad for herself, because to him, why would she have to feel so put out, it was one bad match up.
But to get back on topic in some way, I think it's cute that he tries really hard to help her through out the exam and even afterwards with Kamino and the Hood attack.
We don't talk enough about how Todoroki goes out of his way to see Momo happy in that final exam arc. He:
Notices Momo is nervous about the practical and comes up with an idea for the both of them
Reassures her when the exam starts and listens to her concerns
Tries to protect her the moment he knows Aizawa is nearby
Immediately fucking shelves his ego and plans when his teacher tells him to believe in his partner
Tells Momo about his confidential vote for class president, because he knows it will give her the confidence she needs to have someone she admires, admire her back
Fucking basically offers to massage her foot when he sees her starts crying?! This boy, I swear...
Todoroki himself is sleeping on it but this man has game
It ain't a parallel dimension of light, it's weirder, it's a giant floating Island made of Gold.
Also yes the Team Comps are sooo good, I've taken to calling them Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald Teams as a play on the X-Men Blue and Gold Teams. Genuinely well thought out rosters.
i'm watching mha you're next since its on US netflix now and i couldn't be bothered to figure out where to watch it for free before this and this whole thing is actually insane. wdym they all got sucked into a parallel dimension made out of light by an evil all might imposter from europe and all the 1A students (and presumably other hero course classes) are running around in UA branded trucks stopping villains and also their teams are lowkey really well thought out for a one off movie (like each one has a pretty balanced skill set). i've only watching like 35 minutes so far but tbh i love it its so fun and also gives us a window into how the characters have evolved over the course of the story (like compare this to the team from movie 1 they've gotten SO MUCH better at working together and playing off each other's strengths) and what the day to day in that time in between deku coming back and the final battles looked like

Toby the Tram Engine - Oaken Rizz
Discussed in a Discord server not 15 minutes ago . . .
Toby: "I can't helping being so good-looking! I was there when Jesus fed the five thousand!!"
Thomas: "That- . . . How does that even relate?"
Toby: "I'm not saying he liked me more Thomas, I'm just saying he fed me a bit more than the rest that day." *Trundles away.*
Thomas: *Speechless.*
Later that same day . . .
Percy: *Not five minutes after arriving at Ffarquhar sheds with the mail.* "Henrietta told me that Toby is a 10, but I thought he was a Tram & number 7?"
Thomas and Daisy: *Choke on their drinks and splutter helplessly.*
Daisy: *Recovers and clears her Throat.* "My dear Percy, that TOBY is a 5 at MOST.
Henrietta: *In the Carriage shed next to Daisy.* "My Toby is absolutely a ten, you motorized trollop!!"
Daisy: *Is offended and gasps in Highly Sprung.* "EXCUSE ME?!"
Thomas: *Finally recovers from his coughing fit to pacify the others.* "That's because Henrietta is Toby's wife, Percy. Of course, she exaggerating."
Henrietta: *Gives Thomas a dry, unimpressed look.* "Not when you're around, box-top."
Thomas: *Blinks like he's been slapped.* "Eh-?"
Henrietta: *Smugly.* "If you'd heard half the things Annie and Clarabel have told me about My Toby, that I already know, mind you, you'd wonder why they still travel with you at all."
Thomas: *Is offended in Little Engine.* "OYY!!"
Percy: *Perplexed and tilts his face like a puppy.* "What's a . . . wife?"
Thomas: *Recovers again.* "Ugh . . ." *Thinking 'I need another drink . . .'*
A new mode of production arises out of the newly networked masses.
