The Dabi=Todoroki theory is teased again. One of Shoto’s older brothers mentions Endeavors shitty treatment of Shoto, Mama Rei and one other but he decides not to talk further. No doubt he’s talking about the eldest Todoroki brother. Once again Hirokoshi is sidestepping any information regarding the first sibling. At this point is it even worth talking about this? Dabi is a Todoroki. I know it. You know it. Everyone in the fandom knows it. Let’s move on.
I’m scared for Rei, dear readers. Scared she’ll forgive Endeavor for the hell she put her and her family through. No, I shouldn’t say that. Forgiving people who don’t deserve it can be necessary for the victim to move on with their life. It’s more for that person to heal than for the one who did the wrongdoing. Question is can Hirokoshi convey that in the manga if he decides Rei should forgive Endeavor? I don’t want an I forgive you so let’s live together again forgiveness. I want an I forgive you but I’m divorcing you and going back to my pre-married life as a video game designer forgiveness. Hirokoshi is a progressive mangaka but shounen manga is notorious for treating female characters as stereotypes. Let Rei get her closure, get out of the hospital and move into her own apartment. That’s all I want… and Endeavor out the number one spot.
The rest of the chapter is Endeavor fighting High End and getting his ass kicked. Hawks saves the civilians and is ready to help tag team High End. Can the top two heroes in Japan take down High End? If not, the entire country’s screwed. Better start catching flights to Iceland now, always good to beat the crowd.
