Him wanting to be the N.1 is something he himself wants. And he is expecting to surpass All Might while using half of his Quirk, so, becoming stronger than all the heroes, with half of his power. I find it quite arrogant, maybe it's because he is still young and inexperienced.
That's why I said "young and inexperienced". Someone must kick his ass in this tournament...
You are seeing Todoroki power as an unique thing, but it is not. His fire power comes from Endeavor and his ice power comes from his mother. Both, Endeavor and Todoroki mother had those powers separately, both are complete powers on their own. So, you can say that Todoroki has two quirks because both are complete powers and work independently. Thinking that way, it is kinda possible, although it is harder. If he used his two powers, he would have a great advantage before the other students.
I am not sure about that... Didn't the description of his power say that if he uses his ice side for a long time he can get frostbite? And it asks the question of what would happen if his fire is overused. On the other hand it seems like endeavor can handle having his fire constantly activated. I guess there could be some cooling mechanism helping endeavor although at this stage it would be speculation. In turn todoroki's mom would need something to warm her up if she uses his quirk constantly. To me it seems weird that a quirk would be this dangerous to the user. Its not just side effects, todoroki could die from using either side. Seeing everything what would make the most sense is that todoroki is not meant to use only one side, he is meant to use both together. And by having both sides active together he will be able to avoid the risk of frostbite or burning. Basically both of his quirks are meant to be used together. I wouldn't be surprised if the manga eventually makes the point that the situation is not that todoroki effectively has two quirks, he is simply ahead enough of his peers that it looks like he has two. In turn if he was with people on the level with him he would probably fall a tad short so to speak.
It is just a side effect of the power like any other we've seen so far.
Proves?
But what exactly is todoroki supposed to train in order to avoid frostbite? Its not like midoriya's case that he simply has to become more physically powerful to be able to handle one for all. Frostbite implies his body is freezing to death. How exactly do you train to avoid that? Most of the other side effects we have seen do seem like stuff you can learn how to get over by simply training and getting used to them. And even then not a single side effect (other than midoriya's although his quirk in more than unique) is actually lethal, they are at best nuisances. Also worth noting, not a single person has been said to have two quirks so far, even todoroki. He does not have an "ice" quirk and a "fire" quirk, its called "fire and ice" a single quirk. To boot it does make more than a bit of sense that activating both sides would prevent the other side from killing todoroki (as in his fire preventing the frostbite and his ice preventing him from burning). The Even bakugo does not get burned by his quirk as far as we know. I guess its a manga and todoroki could theoretically train to not be affected by physics altogether although at this stage in the manga it would make more sense that he is effectively using his quirk in a way he is specifically not supposed to.
It was mentioned that Todoroki and Momo were recommended students in the manga, during the Hero VS Villain test IIRC.
You are right. In chapter 11 both Todoroki and Momo are refered to as "recommended freshman", but i thought that had something to do with their places during eraserheads test.
There is no difference between Class A and Class B
Isn't it typical in Japan that classed are aranged by how good the students are and the best ones are in class A, the 2nd best ones in B and so on? At least that is here so in germany where the best students of the grade are in class A and have special classes like university classes once every week.

Nah its not like that. There is no difference between the 2 classes. Thats what Monoma meant when he said, the only difference between them was the villian invasion at USJ. If that was the case then Mineta being in Class A wouldn't make any sense and Monoma would be in Class A. Izuku placed really low so he wouldn't be their either
If it was the case, Ibara and Juuzou should have been put in class A, they ranked 4 and 5 in the Entrance Exam.
