Gotta be honest tho, if I had a flame beard I’d keep that shit up at all times. Looks sick!

Watch Todoroki grow an ice beard to spite his dad

TL:DR of this video No matter how much he tries, Endeavor will always be seen as "All Mightn't"

The fact that his theme, "Just Another Hero", is based on the Main MHA theme, also brings up a sad truth. Many of the characters that we've grown to care about are only gonna be seen in-universe as *just another hero.*

Many people can't separate the character from the "person". If you met someone like Endeavor in real life he'd be an asshole, no doubt; but as a character he's great, I don't think people realize the many routes Horikoshi could go with this guy. He's flawed, his ego and pride are what makes him go forward, he has a desire to fix what he's done, he's confused about how to live with the #1 spot and now there's a chance that his past will be revealed to the general public. Seriously, he's easily the character with the most potential in MHA right now. Like I said, too bad most people can't separate the character from the person, because most people just cry about what Endeavor has done without realizing the potential he has for development/study.

Endeavor has a best character development in BNA. I love how he regret his past action and dedicate to fix his mistake. He want to fix his relationship with his family.

To me Endeavor is almost like a hero from classical Greek mythology. Incredibly powerful but deeply flawed in a pursuit of honor and glory, and those flaws hurt his family. They accomplish great feats of strength and bravery but have feet of clay. Best example would be the Number 1 hero of ancient Greece himself, Hercules. Hercules was driven mad and murdered his family and spent years doing 12 impossible labors to try and make up for them, along with several other adventures which showed he had the worst kind of temper and really wasn't that great a guy. A fierce and powerful warrior who slew scores of monsters and won glory, but not a nice guy. His type of hero wasn't focused on morality, it was focused on he acquiring of honor. In the world of 'My Hero Academia' this is kind of the case in hero society. Everyone wants to earn glory and honor in recognition for their strength and skill. All Might and Deku are great exceptions to this as they are heroes for moral reasons. Endeavor is the hero who fought for honor, and like with the heroes of ancient Greece, his ambition is his fatal flaw. And that flaw has led him to harm his family, for which he is now on a quest to atone for and faced his first true Labor in the form of High End.

This is the best Endeavour analysis out right now, maybe ever Edit: As of July 29th 2018 you were proven right. He can't become the true #1...not by himself!!!!

After the last arc, this analysis needs revisiting

Dodged that bullet with the title in the beginning

I enjoy Endeavour's character very much, and I do believe he is undergoing significant changes like his Son, I feel Endeavour in future is gonna be involved in a fight so brutal but so selfless of him that when he dies as a result, the WHOLE WORLD will HAVE TO acknowledge that for however how long Endeavour became someone the People could and wanted to get behind.

At least he has a cool theme can't even lie.

Before this video I just thought endeavor was a whiny douche, but now that I've seen it I can appreciate him more. He was/is a horrible person, but seeing him take strides to become better, realizing what he did was wrong, and understanding his struggle can make him far more sympathetic. Great video!

I think he was a good man, maybe a even a decent husband and I think when Shouto Todoroki was born that's when he changed, that's when he lost complete grip with reality. That's also perhaps another reason why Shouto's mum did what she did to him, probably somewhat blames Shouto for her husband's change in demeanour.

Yikes i hope my boy bakugo doesn’t end up like endeavor

“Just watch me”

Endeavour right now is an amazing character leading the heroes from the front and struggling to deal with his abusive past. So much development for this character

Finally, someone put why I enjoy Endeavor so much as a character, He's complex, He can be on the road to redemption. Only a matter of time to see if he gets it .To say that He's just this evil one sided Life Time movie villain is a disservice to the author. He's starting to be on the road to reformation . It's only a matter of how and if the author is going to succeed in his redemption request with his family. He could pull it off. I just hope that Mama Todoroki shows up again and He interacts with her directly .

THE AGE OF ENDEAVOR HAS COME

This video needs an update.

The thing about Endever, is that in his selfish and blind ambition he ended up burning his family in more ways than one. Leaving tragic scars that may fade, but may never fully heal. And though he may regret his actions and want to atone, even if endeavor manages to rebuild that bridge he burnt down. It will never be the same bridge. Though endeavor is also cursed to be haunted by the ghosts of his past. Not just by the family he burned through his own selfishness, but by the fire that he started but could never put out.

Endeavour is probably the most interesting character in MHA

Honestly I see endeavors arc to face his demons and rebuild the relationships he destroyed as a very real and very relatable “heroic” journey. I root for him

I love these My Hero Academia analysis. Can't wait to see you do more! Perhaps an analysis on Eraserhead?

I like this video, because it truly reflects endeavor's struggle.. I mean yeah he did bad shit but it's obvious he wasn't in his best state of mind too! Imagine working your ass out for all your life, doing more than anyone else, sacrificing more than anyone else, and yet not manage to receive the results, appreciation or success that you've been striving for... it would bring anybody to the brink of mental breakdown or madness. If you paid enough attention to the hints and the small sequence of thought from him you'd see his changing, slowly moving towards a different path, and i truly like how horikoshi is handling it. I only hope he doesn't end up killing him after all this buildup :\

What I like about Endeavor is that we have never got to see an abusive father try to make amens for what he did. Abusive fathers are always depicted as pure evil and never changing in shows or movies unless anyone knows any.

2:25 'Personality' *Shows one of the rarest times he semi-genuinely smiles*

Endeavor is one of my favourite. His theme always send chills down my spines. Good analysis overall. Looking forward for more.

Endeavor is #2 #2 is poop This is the joke I chose to make

So about Just Another Hero, the instrumental version plays whenever heroes are called upon to do something important. But the lyrics ONLY play in reference to Endeavor, which means Endeavor's own theme is still just another part of the legacy all Heroes share. Even musically, Endeavor is shafted as less important than the Symbol of Peace

Nice video man. Can’t wait for your analysis on other heroes and villains.

8:48 My fav photo of Endeavor

I first saw this months ago but I lost it, but I'm glad I found it again, because Endeavor is actually one of my favourite characters in the series, and this analysis video is really damn good

I think Endeavor deserves an updated video. He's become one of my favorite characters.

Just a little nitpick, Endeavor didn't want his offspring to get the Ice quirk + fire quirk to cover two elements, it was to cover the weakness of his fire quirk, overheating the body. Although it's not seen as of yet, he never bothered to train Shoto on his ice quirk, just the fire one that he himself has experience using. He basically wanted Shoto to be Endeavor 2.0 and live vicariously through him.

Love how Stain isn't entirely a villain because in his mind he fights for a just cause.

A great explanation of why I love Endeavor as a character.

This video needs to be revised after the Pro Hero and Endeavor Agency arc.

More my hero Meti, ALOT MORE.

Great video! I would like to see more like this.

Endeavour does step up and becomes the no1 hero respected by most people and heroes. May be not the symbol of peace but definitely the no. 1 hero !!!

This video needs an update with Endeavor's battle with High End, onward. The people truly have accepted him as the #1 hero.

Hell yeah, Meti is doing HeroAca content. I love you meti.

Woah. Persona 1 ost? Now that is unusual. And much appreciated!

I actually feel really bad for endeveor now.

Possibly the most well written character in BNHA.

The new chapter was soo good and I'm happy to see you watch/read MHA

He's not just onther hero he's the flame of hope after his fight with nomu

Your opening is very adult swim intermission esque. I love it.

I just got on here for a simple video about anime but then u hit me with some welding clips I subbed so quick, keep calm and weld on

The high pitch sound in the song playing the back ground hurts my ears. It reminds me of my alarm.

This needs an update. He's #1 now & he earned it.

I live for your openings

He became #1 to me when he did the pose after defeating the noumu... the chills i got on that image, heres hoping the manga will do that scene justice.

3:15 THAT FACE THAT ADORABLE FACE!!

I respect him Thanks now

Endeavor is just a Bakugou that grew up without AM tutoring

Hoo boy, has this guy been through a lot since this video was made...

"Just Watch Me"

Subbed just because the intro 😂

Endeavor is gonna earn the title of No. 1. He's already shown he's willing to change and become a hero people, and especially his family, can look up to. He won't be All Might, because there will never be another All Might. However, he doesn't have to be; Endeavor needs to become the greatest hero through his own growth, not comparing himself to his predecessor.

The video just began and you already got me laughing

He's also a good example of Stain's philosophy. Endeavor pretends to be a Hero, building his entire identity around it, but he doesn't exemplify the ideals of heroism, abusing and neglecting his family.

If you're caught up with the manga though you'll know how hard he is trying to become his own symbol of peace when he says, "watch me."

He is now though. Number 1 confirmed. Possibly a changed man.

You just earned yourself a subscriber

The title of this video did not age well

I enjoy the image of All Might holding baby Bakugou, baby Deku, and baby Todoroki. The three of them are the All Might Fan Club, or as I like to call them. The Small Mights.

Haven't finished the video, but 10 dollars says that he'll say that if we want to be number 1, we should buy shimoneta.

This is sad😢😭 he lost his touch with his old life Also his flame quirk that doesn't go off simbolizes his depression obsession with being #1hero

Despite turning a new leaf in his life, I still believe Endeavor doesn't deserve to be called a hero. Not out of spite, but because of the things he did to his family - which is what I'd call the pinnacle of petty obsession at best, and downright criminal at worst. I give credit to him that he realizes what he's done was wrong, but something has to give. You can't keep a secret like the stuff he did to them away from the public eye forever. And if one of his children exposes him - or even worse one of the League of Villains find out this and uses it to publicity shame him - it'll cause a lot of damage for the Hero Society's image. Far more so than All Might's retirement ever did. As his crimes would leave a taint the #1 spot which would make the public doubt the legitimacy of future heroes that claim that spot. If Endeavor really wants to make it up to his family? Show them that he is truly sorry and wants to redeem himself? I think he should not only resign as the 1# Hero on the grounds of him not deserving it - both for the reasons why he didn't want it and why he shouldn't have it to begin with - but confess his crimes he committed against them. The laws the law. He practically terrorized his wife and children their entire lives because none of them could meet his expectations and demands.

i do like that his goal hs changed to something that really matters

love your videos! ive been sharing them with ppl that are more or less up to date with the manga, since most of the stuff about hero aca on youtube is mainly about the anime, so its awesome to have someone cover stuff thats later on in the story~ :D so, i dunno if here is the best place to ask about it, but have you heard about the threats horikoshi's gotten about the recent chapters? im guessing the majority of them are not liking how the story is about Endeavour and hows hes changing. (for better or worse, i dont wanna spoil things here for ppl who arent reading the manga) id like to know your thoughts about the current kerfuffle. keep up the great work on the videos~ :D

You earned your like after 3 seconds with the macadamia nut. gg

Can't Ya See???!! He's trying his best!!

Much like the majority of the BnHA fan-base, I don't like Endeavor because of what he done to Shoto for the sake of his own goals. I would feel same way in Shoto's shoes if my father was like his, but that is just it? We can vaguely picture what Enji Todoroki a.k.a Endeavor has gone through to become the person we see him as today. This calls for like a flashback/prequel spin-off series on Endeavor or this topic will later come up in the main series when Endeavor meets his end during a fight with a villain he can't win and dies honorably?

I think there is more to his backstory then we are seeing, it almost feels like he was a Soldier and he might have PTSD, he almost reminds me exactly of my dad (minus the flame powers).

When is the movie going to be available also season Six. I know they have to do the Dub but hasn’t it been out in Japan for a while?

Alright so I definitely appreciate Endeavor a lot more

God I love endeavor so much

When it comes to his work life he’s pretty much like Batman.

Who’s here after season 4 final

Another way to see this as endeavour as a cautionary tale about pursuing something fleeting. Sure its admirable to aim for no.1 spot. I just have one question, what's next? What are his plans to maintain that position afterwards? Can he even be no.1 for the rest of his life?

I love Endeavor, I hope he progresses more in the Manga.

“Roughly 3 children” 😂😂

"Why Endeavour can never truly be the #1 hero" But Meti! He was number 1!

I just want Shoto to get a fire beard, he would look badass

my friends keep asking me why i won't forgive/don't like endeavor yet but my father is so, SO similar to him that i just cant. he saw me as the perfect child and pushed me so hard to the point that i would even refuse to identify with his surname, using my middle name or my mother's maiden name instead. it took me such a long time to realize what i went through was not normal, how other kids weren't terrified of getting anything less than 100% in a test or not following their schedules even slightly. im still trying to get out of that toxic ass perfection mindset, my father seems to be trying too as he gets older (i won't ignore that lmfao im not an idiot), but its going to take a long time to fix all the shit he's done. but hey at least i can use his credit card with no limits and im inheriting majority of his stuff.

I’m trying to like him now that I’m reading the manga but dude.... you got a long way.

Ah. 5pepeman’s Father

yo meti whats your thoughts on the endeavor redemption arc so far?

I feel like endeavor will develop in a chapter where shoto might be in danger or near death of some kind to which endeavor will grow and develop as a character.

The man who would never be best boy.

I love the Sam and Max music

Cool endeavor character arc is coming soon

The sad thing is, all his work (good and bad) he put into shoto is also going to not end the way he wants because we all know Midoriya is the one who becomes no. 1 in shoto’s generation.

What's the ost called again

Endeavor is my numbah 1

Meti senpai when is the next jojo video
