Deep down all if us wanted Touya to be a hero.

Rei became so mad with the abuse, she hurt her own son and was hospitalized. Shouto rejected his fire quirk despite it debilitating him. Natsuo is still not willing to forgive his father for all the trauma. Fuyumi was forced to mature in place of the eldest sibling and parents and now puts her own feelings last. Touya obviously went off the far end, hell bent on the destruction and demise of his abuser. I want Endeavour to change but he shouldn't be seen as sympathetic or admirable. The abuse he did, he did consciously for years at the expense of his wife and children. Despite their obvious misery, he was too focused on himself. He has to face the consequences of his actions, everything he did wrong doesn't just become water under the bridge.

It wasn't the boiling water that scarred Todoroki It was Rei using her ice quirk to cool the area

I feel so bad for Shoto, he’s been through so much through all the members of his family yet still tries to be the best hero he can be

What hurts is that Shouto has been struggling for the entire story to be free of his father's shadow, stand on his own as a hero, and have a good relationship with his family. All of that goes down the drain after Dabi's broadcast. At best, people will pity him for being a victim and at worst, they'll worry he's going to turn out just like Endeavor or Dabi. Both of those viewpoints completely invalidate the efforts Shouto's made as an aspiring hero. And he also has to live with the fact that his long-lost brother has hated him virtually all his life and wants to kill him.

Seeing rei immediately trying to help shoto after she burned him, with tears endlessly flowing down her face because she realized what she did just broke me man. No matter how you look at it, we may not hate the endeavor now, but the one in the past cannot be forgiven

A lot of people show sympathy to shoto, rei,and touya and forget about natsu and fuyumi who had to helplessly watch the people they love get hurt.

Fuyumi actually became a teacher to compensate for the fact that she couldn't protect her younger brother shoto. That's just sad... but also very sweet

The todoroki family plotline is peak mha

*The Todoroki family story is pretty much essential to the story of MHA* - even though it is uncomfortable for many (since many people can easily project unto the situation), it's inclusion is part of what makes MHA, well MHA. lol We need to see the society of MHA for the good (heroes inspiring hope like All Might) and the bad (through Endeavor's family situation) as the characters search for what it means to be a hero and how the newer generation of heroes can surpass the mistakes of the older generation.

Horikoshi made me care too much about the Todoroki family drama. I feel like their stories alone fill my feels meter and infatuate my catlike curiosity. I need to know more, dang it!

How ironic..., Endevor trained Touya to be a hero... And Touya ends up being a hot villain...lmao

I can see why Dabi wants to take down the whole fake hero system. Because this is what one man's obsession's over that bullshit ranking did to his family. I personally think these "Number" rankings should be done away with in MHA, and only the authorities should have a ranking system for heroes for missions and stuff.

A lot of MHA shows the influence and downfall of families here. In many ways, Himiko Toga is the inverse of Shoto Todoroki, where her family did its best to suppress her quirk. A mirror held up to show that extremes are negative no matter which one it is.

To be honest, when MHA came out, I wasn’t really interested until someone told me about the Todoroki family situation. I was drawn in by it because it showed the underside of the hero society; how someone so driven to be number one could bring others down with them. My feelings on Endeavor are mixed, but I like what’s going on with his character development. He shouldn’t just easily be forgiven, but the fact that he’s trying to change is something that just fascinates me. We don’t really ever see an abusive parent trying to atone for their mistakes in media like this and it’s a tricky thing to navigate. On one hand, we want to hate him for what he did, and we have every right to because what he did was awful. On the other hand, we see that he’s genuinely trying to change and he even acknowledges that he doesn’t deserve forgiving. That’s why it’s such a compelling story. I really can’t wait to see how everything plays out with this family down the line.

6:14 Actually, it wasnt the water that necessarily gave him the scar, it was Rei using her ice that did it

I cannot wait for the War Arc to be animated

The Todoroki Family: The broken family The Afton Family: “Hold my exotic butters!”

wasn't Rei Todoroki forced into marriage by her family who was paid of by Endeavour, and that is why she poured hot water on Shoto Toddoroki because she was disgusted by his fireside (I think only stayed in the family because she had children and did not want to leave them behind)

See ya in the next episode of *keeping up with the todorokis* JK , this is really sad

As much as I dont like any villans, Dabi is an understandable character cause of his childhood. Like I really dont like him after he clearly expressed his desire to kill todoroki the "perfect" child. But then again, Todoroki, even though that wasnt his intention, stole what Dabi lost, his dad's approval, it isnt hard to imagine how much hate can build up being replaced like that

Well It is surprising that Endeavor did something like this to his own family but these things happen in Real Life Families too we're not just used to It.

A lot of us thought that Touya would love Shoto but he hates him with a burning passion. Sad oof.

As fans know, Endeavor will never beat All Might because All Might was a true hero. "I'm afraid being famous isn't the same as being a true hero"

I think when the place where endeavor trained dabi used an ice quirk, that he awakened, to survive. He had to hide it because it wouldve been too obvious. I mean his hair turned white so his mothers genes would kick in.

Bakugou: *Mad at his mom* Bakugou mom: *SLAPS BAKUGOUS HEAD* Me: 👁👄👁

This is the only mha youtuber who posts almost daily

Every family has their own distinct: *Shows Bakugou's mother hitting bakugou* I see what you did there

Idk abt y’all but it feels like an exact replica of the fire nation royal family in atla . We have shoto who of course resembles Zuko , with the whole burned eye thing , and having Daddy issues . We Touya/dabi who is represents azula who has blue fire and is antagonist that fight zuko (shoto) . Then we have ursa ( their mom ) who was also very close to zuko , but isn’t in the picture because she was banished which is something similar that happened to Rei . And then Ozai is the ruler of the fire nation , so he’s like a powerful person ( just like enji ) and he also somewhat abuse his kids . There’s no doubt in my mind that horikoshi was heavily inspired by them .

(6:17) Actually, the damage was done when she tried to cool his face with her ice. You don't do that with a burn, it damages the tissue further and leaves lasting effects. In her panic, she was the one that left his face damaged.

Midoria: Its your quirk! Todoroki: 🧊🧍🔥🔥

we should call this week the todoroweek.

The familly dinners would just be fuyumi talking Awkward

Zuko: I wish I had a sibling... *shoto come along* Zuko:finally a sibling

My understanding of it is endeavor was for the most part stable until shoto got his quirk. Realizing he finally got what he wanted he began to neglect all the other kids which affected touya the most as he used to be the vocal point of his fathers attention. Shoto and rei were also physically abused which combined with psychological abuse pushed rei off the edge and the boiling water incident happened causing her to be put into a hospital. Having no restrictions endeavor only got worse and began psychologically abusing and neglecting fuyumi, natsuo, and most of all touya. In either an effort to prove himself or just in a training accident touya died doing prominence burn which stripped endeavor of his backup plan if shoto failed. So endeavor put all his cards on shoto and just neglected fuyumi and natsuo not paying them any attention. I also think touyas death made endeavors abuse crack a bit because he built a shrine in touyas room showing he did at least care about him. I think this stayed the same with shoto being physically and psychologically abused and fuyumi and natsuo being neglected until endeavor became number 1

It's crazy how shoto is the youngest and he is the biggest victim of endeavor abuse, by what natsu said he even restricted him to eat some food, I feel the pain soo much because my dad is the same

To be honest... I can't bring myself to like endeavour in any way no matter how I hard I try. I always find a part of myself rooting against him

Bro imagine the mom watching Dabi revealing he’s Toya, damn that’s pain

I’m actually going to cry once I see the todoroki family’s full reaction to dabi...especially todoroki. I can tell he will hate himself so much like he took his brothers spot and his family could’ve been happy without it. I don’t even know how he’s gonna act normal again.

If you really think about it families really do go through this type situations which is sad stay safe everyone God bless us all

Yeah, I honestly don't see myself looking at Endeavor any differently than I do now. Like, he had so many years to get his act together and it all just feels too little too late. It'll probably take a lifetime's worth of atonement, which on account of his actions during the villain hunt, I don't know if he's completely willing to do that. I guess only time will tell.

You really gotta respect shoto after all this. Despite never doing anything wrong to his older brother and is abused and isolated from the rest of his siblings for his entire life he never broke down and took the first step to see his mother and brought the family back together. Deku saving him definitely played a part in all this but in the end it was shoto who decided to talk to his mom and wants to save his brother Touya too even though he wants to kill him out of spite.

Would it be cool if dabis fire was actually cold fire and the burns are caused by frost bite. That would be so cool

to think all of this greatness is a SIDE PLOT. MHA is such a great story

Okay but this family wouldnt be like this if Endeavor wasnt abusive and Touya would probably be a hero, Rei wouldnt have scarred Todoroki, Fuyumi wouldnt have to put her feelimgs last, *over all they would be powerful and happy as a family*

I'm really sorry for Shouto, he've been treated like a toy since he was a child, and if the theory that his brother also has ice power comes true ... It 's really upsetting, his brother hates him even though he did not do anything wrong, and all ‌, They blame him if he dies like this I will be really sad, very sad (Tʖ̯T) What do you do if he dies?:'(

I think that Endeavor actually loved his family, even if the purpose of his marriage was Shoto, and Touya was his shining star. As life continued, he was just feeling like more and more of a failure, causing him to become enraged and abusive. Not justifying his actions, just saying that he does care, but his obsession overrode that in his lust to surpass All Might's power.

I read this in another video: Later in the story, Shigaraki will give Dabi a new ice quirk (maybe his mother's, Geten's, or from another person). He won't have the risk of being "nomufied" because his body is made to have an ice quirk, so he will adapt to it very quick. (Or he and Geten will just become closer and team up against Shoto). I mean, if Dabi will be Shoto's "final boss" it makes sense, because in the future Dabi will be weaker than he is now and will use his quirk for less time, so he *needs* an ice quirk if he's going to be Shoto's main villain (basically I believe he needs an ice quirk because he will only get weaker in time unlike Shoto).

I think Touya/ Dabi has an Ice Quirk that was Triggered later on in his age

Thank you for explaining this so well, while being detailed but short!

Dude made a whole family to beat some guy who can punch very hard

Yay he uploaded again!

Thanks for the vid guys! Looking forward to your growth. In a few months I'll be the one annoying guy commenting "been here since way before 100k" lol.

Todoroki has some striking similarities to zuko lol. They both have a scar which their father gave them (todoroki more indirectly). Both had a mother who suffered through mental illness. Both despise their father (for obvious reasons). Both of their mothers left during their childhood. And lastly both have an evil sibling with blue flames.

gotta say, i understand the idea that enji should marry someone with an ice quirk so that they could regulate their temperature, but wouldn't the logical thinking be that the kid would be at a disadvantage? Like how Touya can't stand hot temperatures even though he can use very hot flames. I feel like that possibility would be your inital thought and then enji would be like ''oh ok i shouldn't marry someone with an ice quirk" i just feel like that slim possibility of being able to regulate their temperature is just seems very impractical

A repetitive cycle, perpetual and everlasting. The parent being disappointed with their children for not being what they want, the children vowing to never be like their parents, the children becoming parents who are disappointed in their children for not being what they want, ect, ect. There was only one real way for Touya to save his soul... he should've walked away from all of it, just washed his hands of his father, mother, and his siblings. But I guess his heart was just to soft and kind to do something so cruel.

Endeavor: PROUD DADDY! :)

Bigger plot twice fuyumi (Shotos sister) ends up being a villain and she’s the secret UA traitor and she heals dabi any time he goes too far with his flames.....

If rei was a hero, The todoroki family might be just a BIT better than what it is now

“Every family has their own distinct” - Bakugo building a fight with his mother -

Shoto is my favorite character and after the 290 chapter dabi is my second favorite character

I like your content😁

woohoo! Y'all on fire (literally) with the Todoroki Family Content! Plot Armor for the win!

When I read the title I thought it meant “Broken” as in OP but it actually meant destroyed

I’m more shocked dabi is literally TODOROKI’S older brother...I mean I was sus about his quirk but this was not what I was expecting. The family drama is DEEP-

the fact that im doing a whole freaking assignment on the Todoroki family for my sociology class for dysfunctional families

I just really want to hug Shoto and comfort him :((

I keep reminding myself how sad this is but I just come a.l the time just to vent to myself 😂😂 Also great explanation :)

the change in youyas hair might be a clue to whats to come tbh, my theory would be that he can change his hair to white or red and he'd be capable of changing his quirk type. red for fire white for ice.

no one teka todoroki : baby im not here im a hallucination

As for Touya’s hair turning white gradually, it could’ve been from something like Marie Antoinette Syndrome, where one’s hair turns white overtime - a possible cause being stress. 👀

I just finished watching Akame ga Kill a few days ago and this youtube channel doesnt exist there

I wished they showed more of Toya's story in the anime like the manga

Dabi was like okay so no one believed my broadcast I’ll just pour water on my head during a fight 😢😂

Dobby exuse me- dobby is a sock obsessed elf

Dabi is pretty interesting as a villain but the fact that he wanted to kill Shoto, who literally went through abuse like he did and possibly had it worse, made me just hate him as a older sibling. I get that he wanted to cripple Endeavor but wanting to go so far as to kill the one person who took the blunt of the abuse once Touya disappeared and was even injured by his own mother? The woman who snapped cause of her husband's abuse and attacked the youngest child? Seriously, out of everyone, I was assuming that he only wanted to harm his abusive father but Dabi crossed a line for me when he revealed that he was going to kill his baby brother once Shouto became the #1 hero. Like, this dude saw that Shouto was forced to be seperated from the rest of the family. He had to have saw or at least heard Shouto's cries of pain whenever Endeavor punished him or when his mother was comforting him? As a older sibling, how could he ignore all of that and had it set in his mind that killing the one person who could relate with him the most, would be the best option? In this coming battle, if he seriously tries/manages to kill his own brother, I hope his mother and siblings all express their sadness or hate towards him for doing so. Cause I know that as a kid who literally was abused and saw my own siblings get harmed as well, I would never even think of doing something like that.

Eyyyyy new vid

6:18 poor shoto omfg i m so saadddddddddd... :'c

The titanic:my story is so sad Tordoki family:hold my fire

I’ve met uncle Touya before, he’s kinda scary at first but he’s nice

Natsuo tho can you imagine having your best buddy ( brother ) being taken away from you and then never seen again...no wonder he's socially anxious and doesn't like endeavor

I can't wait to see Shouto vs Dabi in the battlefield now. I can imagine Shouto trying to win his brother over- he wants a stable family and I imagine wants his brother to be a part of it. Obviously Dabi wants to kill Shouto, but it doesn't change the fact that Shouto has now learnt his dead brother is actually still alive. It would make sense he would want to reach out. His own mother is mentally unstable and he has forgiven her so I imagine he can do the same for his brother. I think I speak for everyone when I say I want redemption for Touya and a chance for him to get help

I think it would have been better to wait for canon reasons to be discussed or reveled in the story (next couple of chapters hopefully), but nevertheless good video

Touya's hero name is gonna be "Enji Killer"

The last thing I want is a redemption arc for endeavor. Idc if he’s trying to change for the better, he has to face up to all of the abuse he put his family through.

I subscribed

So, Rei put boiling hot water on Shoto’s face because he looked like endeavor. Well, Toya also looked like Endeavor and “died”. So she hurt Shoto because she didn’t know how to react to losing another kid. I dunno, it’s just a thought.

Dabi could be A Great Hero :( The second Endeavor :(

TODOROKI SENPAI im a fangirl of todo

I hope Natsu and Toya have a heart to heart- and idk if that will ever happen

But we know Endi never thought touya was dead and never stopped looking, his failure to save touya is what has been the fuel burning him alive from inside all along

Hears todoroki Me:abuse you mean

I have heard one more character in mha but her name is Teka todoroki her name is similar to todoroki family

Just thinking how when fuymi was the only girl in her family and her dad didn’t care about her and had to figure out how she was growing up by her self

Your video are good

Todoroki : I have lots of siblings 𝙈𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 8 𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 : Funny very funny

I feel bad for the todoroki family ngl hopefully the todoroki family will be okay in the future... I know they might never forgive endeavor since well he abused them... But hopefully the todoroki family will be completed

Okay. But like, Endeavor never really wanted to be a Father/or have children. He wanted a successor of his bloodline. Someone who would be able to use his quirk without getting burned badly. So Shoto having his half-and-half quirk, it was basically Endeavor’s dream child. However that doesn’t give him the right to block out his other children……

I wish trunks had half black half purple hair With classic Ben hairstyle and zuko ponytail

I wish that their family was normal. IMAGINE that hero team! Shoto and Touya would have been like the best of friends.
