Yeah, this was called “The wrong way to put out a fire” for a reason. It’s honestly a perfect way of looking at what Endeavor did to Touya. Endeavor sparked the fire, and instead of giving it calm and gentle water or something to put it out, he basically poured gasoline and paint thinner on it, and then proceeded to ignore the fire and let it build, not realizing that he was not only the root of the problem but also the main one making it worse. And by the time he did realize it, it’s all just too little too late.

I forgot the name of the woman on the left, but she 100% nailed it!! Toya was given the golden child status, while Fuyumi and Natsuo weren't given that status at all. While Fuyumi and Natsuo did suffer from Endeavor's neglect they didn't bond with him the same way Toya did. That's why it greatly effected Toya so much because he knew the purpose as to why his parents got married. Overall, I'm just happy someone understood how emotional abuse works because most reactors completely missed the point.

Hey guys, great discussion! Just as a small reminder One for all has to be willingly transferred in order to pass it on, we learned this back in the Stain arc, otherwise Stain would have gotten One for all since he ingested Deku’s blood. But I do agree though, that it poses more of a threat to Deku the more the public knows about his power. Looking forward to the next reaction!

the most heartbreaking part of the episode was seeing Toya lighting up and not being able to control the flames. I was holding up pretty well but that part really got me. Just seeing how desperate he was and the lead up to it. Endeavor's VA is so good at portraying emotion too.

Atmosphere of you two is comfortable and easy to watch as if i'm watching with a real friend. I hope we can watch season 7 together!

The thing is Endeavor didn't want Touya to get hurt but Endeavor himself didn't give up on his selfish dreams. Instead of making more kids, he should've given Touya more time, sat down and talked to him like how a real father should. Maybe even taken him to a psychiatrist or something. But, no. He didn't do that. Endeavor just pushed Touya to the side and kept on having more kids. Like imagine a 13 year old child saying things like this to their parents - "You'll be glad that I was born" or in the manga version - "You'll realize that I wasn't a mistake"… Pathetic and depressing. This episode demonized Endeavor for me even more.

Fantastic episode

Seeing this definitely made what we knew worse cause before we knew he did this but he haven’t seen it. To be fair at least this story actually showed he did care for toya even if he did a shit job. Before we assumed he cared for literally none of them. This opens up more of the story the good the bad the ugly. I’ve seen people both manga only and anime only have the same poor mindset that what character development Endeavor has had magical vanishes. They think he can’t atone though before the abuse was actually shown believed he could. What makes it different. We see him now we knew what he was back then but now seeing it makes you rethink your hope he does better? Idiotic. If you’ve never cared from him even throughout the development that’s fine but if you started to care to then double back that’s dumb. I know that’s not everyone but I saw a lot of it when the chapter came out and I’m seeing a lot of it now when this episode aired. Like seeing this doesn’t change what we knew about Endeavor before. Now we see him with his family working on his biggest issue he’s caused. Let’s just hope to see things work out at least semi positive.

i find it interesting that some people see this part of the story and misses the point of the "family responsability". The author did an amazing job portraing what a toxic family looks like. It is never just one member the one to blame, but all the people involved. Yes, Enji is the source of the issues, but both parents failed Toya. Even if Enji was a shitty father, Rei had all the time to actually pull out, take her kids and protect them, instead she stood there and failed them to the point that she physically attacked Shoto. Natsu and Fuyumi were kids, I can understand they feel guilty, but their responsability in this matter is mostly non-existent.

Glad....usually the dad is the only to blame but the entire family takes responsibility for failing Dabi

Man the Todoroki Family has problems!

I think whole todoroki family took blame for Toya not only endeavour it's whole family is to blame.

Deku literally save todoroki family if deku never argue with todoroki he also going to be more dangerous than dabi

What happened to the other dude you react with?

Imma be honest, I only blame Endeavor. There’s no way in hell I’m blaming his younger siblings who are kids themselves for Dabi losing his mind like that, like he literally tried to kill Shoto lol so this whole family to blame shit is ridiculous. His parents, mainly Endeavor failed him.

10/10 episode. The character development for this family is so good 🔥 I smell AFO cause there has to be more on why touya became a villain. Just because his family told him he couldn't be a hero and didn't give him attention, would yell at him for using his quirk..ect is not a good reason to become a villain. That's honestly some weak shit if that makes you a villain 😂 Dabi is still looking for attention kinda pathetic tbh

I really like dabi/toya...endeavor is a piece of sh*t no matter how people try to redem him discusting back story for a "hero"...stain was right 😂
