[There was absolutely a Midoriya Izuku in Avalon but this Izuku doesn't have any of those Avalon memories. Unlike Shoto, Izuku arrived in this world without a single memory of that world. And yet, Izuku seems to be faintly connected to that other life anyway... because it was the same player me!]

Hm! I'm happy that Todoroki-kun is here too. It feels a little less daunting to know one of my friends is here. He told me a bit about you, he's happy that you're here as well. You used to help him?

[Shoto called him sensei! That's a pretty big deal.]
