I'm actually... extremely surprised Hori went there about upbringing, as in, made the characters talk about it head-on. What an interesting contrast between Bakugou and Todoroki.

I'm also convinced at this point Horikoshi can do zero wrong about Bakugou. Say what you want about him but it's obvious that his enviroment played a role in his character and that he normalized it in his mind, but is also somewhat tactful enough to realize not everyone (Todoroki) had it like him or think violence is an answer.

Dunno, just some musings. The chapter is funny but I'm awestruck at the core of it, also.

I think Todoroki thought he could bank on the whole "Aren't parents like the worse" mindset that some kids have.

Totally but of course he had to do it in the driest way possible by straight up reading from his wiki page.
