How was Shoto Todoroki able to resist One for All?


Something that I dont understand from My Hero Academia it's something
characters which supposedly have average resistance (because their quirks
arent about resistance) are able to resist One for All. For example, Shoto in
it's battle with Midoriya (and wasnt this One for All 100%?) How was Shoto
Todoroki able to resist One for All?[![enter image description

The answer is basically given in chapter 22 of the manga. When Midoria tells
All Might that he managed to hit Nomu without breaking his arm, they come to
the conclusion that Midoria subconsciously limited his power output to avoid
causing lethal harm to other humans. Mostly possible, that during his fight
with Todoroki, he has limited his power in the same way.
