Why does Todoroki look different between the 1st and 2nd season?


In season 1 of _My Hero Academia_ , Todoroki looks like this:

In season 2, he looks like this:

As can be seen from the first image, his _left_ side (and _not_ his right
side) is his ice side. His left eye is also round and red. I believe there is
only 1 short instance in season 2 when he activates his fire power where his
left eye becomes round and red.

Another difference is that in season 1, Todoroki's left side is always encased
in ice, but never in season 2. Even when he uses his ice Quirk extensively in
season 2, he is only seen with a little ice on himself:

What is the reason for the difference between season 1's and season 2's
Todoroki?




In the first picture, it was Todoroki wearing his hero costume. In episode 6
to 8, they had mock battles wearing their costumes. It is also explained that
the students can give their own design for their costume.

The second one, it's in the Sports Festival where they cannot wear hero
costumes because they will have an advantage to their enemies.

Regarding freezing and shivering, if you're referring in the 1st picture, no,
he won't freeze because that is just his hero costume, not his quirk at work.

But if you're talking about his quirk, then the answer is still no, because he
uses the other half of his quirk which is

> half hot

to keep himself from the effects of his half cold and vice versa.
