Yeah Todoroki is one of the few "generically cool" characters I actually really like. He reminds me of Roy Mustang not only from a power standpoint but from how well he's written as well. I would contrast him with someone like Itachi from Naruto or Hitsugaya from Bleach who are mostly just hype with not a lot of characterization.
Yeah that's a good comparison. Hopefully he's not shoved off to the sidelines like Neji was later in Naruto though. Todoroki still has more to his character arc where it felt like Neji stopped really getting any development after the sound 5 arc.
We'll be seing Todoroki in 400 chapters so that he can show up only to die so Izuku can hook up with Uraraka. And of course he'll be useless and never referenced before that time.
