Tōya knows that there is someone out there that is destined to be with him, his soulmate, but he also knows that the chance of finding them-at least with the choices he's made-is much closer to zero. He's also had it drilled into his head-albeit unsuccessfully-that his soulmate would only be a burden to him and that he has better things to focus on, like training to one day surpass All Might. He had decided that his father was wrong, especially since Todoroki Enji had rejected his own soulmate and had forced Himura Rei to marry him for his little breeding project, and Tōya had vowed to himself that he would cherish his soulmate and stand by them no matter what.
