Jump Force welcomes My Hero Academia’s Shoto Todoroki next week

Seeing Red

It’s been well over a year since the launch of crossover fighter Jump Force, but publisher Bandai Namco isn’t done filling out its all-star cast. The next anime headliner stepping into the ring is none other than My Hero Academia’s Shoto Todoroki.

Todoroki is a quiet and reserved young student who carries himself with an aloofness that can be misinterpreted as arrogance. The produ💦ct of an unhappy childhood, Todoroki tends to shut himself off from his fellow students, but is actually a loyal and faithful ally in battle, clearing the field with a juxtaposition of fire and ice-based powers.

As we can see from the above trailer, Todoroki will utilise these dueling elements in-game, with his ice abilities allowing for speedy maneuverability and the freezing of hi🌳s opposition, while raging fireballs and streams of flame can cause colossal damage.

Shoto Todoroki will be made available May 26 as a part of the Jump Force Character Pass 2, or can be purchased separately for around $4. Jump Force is available now on PSꦯ4, PC, and Xbox One. It will launch on Nintendo Switch later in 2020.
