The Todoroki Saga comes to an end.
With news My Hero Academia is ending in August, we begin the farewell tour with the Todoroki Family. Dabi’s dying, but this time it’s for real. I love that final interaction between him and the rest of the family. It’s even more impactful knowing that scene will be the final time the entire Todoroki fam is together in one place.
That’s right, Y’all. Natsuo’s going no contact on daddy Endeavor. Did you also notice Natsuo was the only family member who didn’t speak to Toya? Yeah, I don’t think Natsuo’s visiting Toya again. I get the vibe he just went there to support the others that one time. Natsuo seems to be over it all. He’s done with the drama and just wants to live a happy normal life with his soon-to-be wife and the less crappy members of his family. I respect that. Bravo to Horikoshi for giving us a more realistic ending instead of a typical happily ever after scenario.

Natsuo’s getting married without having a ceremony. Fuyumi quit her job as a teacher. I wonder if that’s because Japan is in a state of restoration and rebuilding or because they’re getting backlash over being related to a prominent member of the League of Villains? I’m not a Japanese culture expect, but from what I think I understand, being related to a criminal in Japan can damage a family’s reputation. Basically, people blame the family for the actions of one. Is than another reason Natsuo’s distancing himself from Endeavor? Is it also another reason Fire Daddy’s spending his retirement taking full responsibility for Toya’s behavior? To protect his other children? Hmm…
