One of the best episodes this season!!

The title of this episode is SO GENIUS because it explains exactly the problem with Toya - You don't put out a fire by ignoring it or leaving it alone.

Everyone else is recovering from physical and emotional pain while Deku is like "downloading powerups updated plot armor".

Fun fact: in the manga they show how Rei, in a attack of desperation, tries to cure Shoto with her ice powers. Which you should never do after such accidents. Yes, Shoto could have resisted those burns, his scar is a frostburn. That's not the right way to put out a fire.

This dude Toya was gonna end Shoto's whole career before it even started 😩😂

The voice acting where little Touya was on fire omfg that made that scene hit a lot harder ngl

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. Obviously this is in the most literal sense.

Not a single punch was thrown and this was somehow one of my favorite episodes of MHA of all time.

8:37 there's the manga reader smile right there 😂😂

Endeavor started off well intentioned to not have Toya train, but neglected addressing Toya's emotional and psychological needs to ensure he felt loved even if he couldn't live up to his expectations with being a hero. Training to Toya meant getting love and attention from Endeavor, because he didn't get to feel like he was receiving it any other way

That eye contact moment between endeavor and rei was actually the "we're making another one" look

Not sure if y’all noticed it but the implications of how shoto was born based off their face expressions is CRAZY here 3:48

Since Shoto never really spent that much time with Toya, I guess he doesn’t really remember what his hair looks like + he was only five. All he knew was "Toya had red hair and white hair" and kept remembering both without a specific timeline.

Dabi's the definition of "villains aren't born, they are made". All Toya wanted was for endeavor to acknowledge him, now all Dabi wants is for endeavor to regret him.

This whole episode was a sad look at domestic violence and child abuse/neglect. Just shows how dangerous it is to try and manipulate a child's way of thinking. Just look at how Toya turned out. Giving your child love, a happy place to call home, and great stability betters their chances of growing up right.

Lupa too damn funny. "You! You're the problem!" 😆 "Now unbuckle it and get busy!"

8:40 Roshi nodding killed me 😂😂 that silhouette in front tho

Dabi can be considered a dark reflection of Shoto, as it's been implied that Shoto may have become just like Dabi if he couldn't forgive his father and let his burning hatred for Endeavor consume him as Dabi had done; Shoto himself noted this and it was the reason why he wanted to deal with Dabi himself.

Crazy how endeavor keeps tryna tell Dabi to just give up on his dream but isn’t willing to himself

My man smiling at star and stripe was so gangsta🤣 We manga readers know the upcoming epicness

Seeing young Toya crying fire and burning himself alive while screaming in pain hits so hard this episode💯

3:12 funnily enough, Anya's VA voiced the purple haired convict from the prison break. She'll be really important this arc.

it's crazy, cause endeavor told touya from the very beginning that his only reason for living was to become the number 1 hero. telling touya he couldn't become a hero insinuated that his life wasn't worth anything at all. it's why touya kept training after endeavor told him not to, because with natsuo and fuyumi not having "hero" quirks, he still had a chance to redeem himself. but shouto was born... and touya snapped, trying to kill him for stealing his chance at being loved. and it's the way endeavor had plenty of money to fund making a support item for touya, but instead neglected him and started having more kids as a replacement. ideally, a parent is supposed to find ways to treat their child's disability. but endeavor kinda just gave up on touya.

3:48 This scene sent shivers down my spine literally!! The anger that was boiling in him, Rei bringing his meal that he did not eat with his family and the terror on his face slowly turning to Rei's along the horrifying music and her realizing what he wanted in fear just depressed me for the day!!

The painful redemption arc Endeavor has gone through is insane to see. This family so broken and needs to heal

If there was a support item that could overcome overheating, Endeavor probably wouldn't have even thought of bequeathing its ambitions to a taboo-created child. In fact, the vest that Shoto wears in his hero suit has a system to help him regulate his temperature. And yet he has trouble doing it when he uses his quirk to its fullest.

It’s crazy how toya just wanted the validation of Endeavor as a parent and he was so focused on creating the perfect son and that basically what made dabi, well Dabi.

Todoroki kids had it rough, but Rei Himura suffered most of them all and it was so sad to see🙁

Roshi smiling cause he knows what happend as a manga reader LOL

Endeavor is my FAVOURITE character in all of My Hero BECAUSE he was a coward and a monster and the story NEVER lets him get away with it, even if it also sets him up for atonement and redemption, and he TRIES to be better. It also sets up the core theme of the entire story - every UNFORGIVABLE character still deserves to be saved for the chance for atonement and redemption. Not in that cheap and easy Dragon Ball way, but in a way where they point out - killing them does nothing and gives nothing, but saving them gives them the chance to put good back into the world (as we see with Endeavor).

And also that part when Toya said "all you've ever shown me was how to turn up the heat", makes sense because endeavor never showed him how to turn off his flames or control it properly. Correct me if I'm wrong

Dabi is the perfect example of whatever doesn't kill you. only makes you crazier.

This is an incredibly complex episode with lots of nuanced emotions. I was CONSIDERING going through this whole thing point by point and cover the in depth nuance, but it got SO long even I realized, “No one will read this.” And I scrapped it. XD there goes an hour of writing. So I’ll just say the bare bones. This STARTED as a quirk marriage, this STARTED as a passion project to surpass All-Might. But became a large scale effort to prevent the golden child Touya Todoroki from endlessly pursuing a route in life that would most certainly lead to his own death. Each effort got blunter and blunter making another nail in his coffin instead of a deterrent and accidentally creating a sociopathic murderer hell bent on destroying what is now a somehow more functional family now than ever before. Rei hated Endeavor, but has come to realize she never took it on herself to understand him. (And won’t give him leeway.) Her mere presence from a situation she DID have the power to walk away from and take the kids with her is the sign that she DOES still love Endeavor. And I see that flower she brings in as a “Let’s start over.” Not for the kids, but for her and Enji. Endeavor has INCREDIBLY weak empathy making NONE of his methods work correctly because he didn’t use them with enough care. Even though each choice DOES actually have logic behind it. The ONLY thing that you can tell how much he empathized with was the absolute terror of Touya’s quirk recoil. He knew EXACTLY how much it hurt him because he considers his OWN recoil the exact reason he’s not Number 1. And as All-Might got better, it showed the gap for Endeavor, but also how hard Touya was pushing himself. He was struggling in vein to stop this, but didn’t have the emotional capability to do it. He also has among the WORST emotional traits. The trait of showing sorrow and fear as anger. He is DESPERATE to not show vulnerability. And I think that is EXACTLY why Rei knows he IS trying. Because it’s a mask. And he can’t maintain it forever. This crash is years too late for the kids to see. But considering what kind of man Endeavor is, it also shouldn’t be surprising it took til THIS happened. There isn’t a single family member that doesn’t feel guilt of the events. But there also isn’t a single one that doesn’t desperately want to fix things. Natsuo is the MOST resentful of his dad, but even that doesn’t spell to me he will cut him off once Touya is stopped. The chances of Touya Todoroki having the ultimate irony of being ANOTHER half cold-half hot wielder is TERRIFYINGLY high he could have grown to in his adulthood. I have been curious about how he cried when he got excited. And that may have been melted ice for all we know. His hair STRAIGHT UP matches Shoto for a year or so. Natsuo lost his red hair, and Fuyumi stayed the same. Touya’s went through a LARGE transition. And while Shoto’s hair has no connection to his quirk, (DNA is not constrained to one side of your body. If he has both, it doesn’t mean it HAS to stay on one side.) that doesn’t mean that it’s exactly the same for the other siblings. But it would be the ULTIMATE irony and nothing would hurt the Todoroki’s more that he ACTUALLY transforms his quirk more. (This is an unproven theory, but I do VERY much so believe in it.) And the final thing regarding the Todoroki’s. It’s important to say only a victim can forgive an aggressor. Whether we feel it’s deserved or not is irrelevant. And it seems the Todoroki’s are inching closer to that point, even if Dabi obviously isn’t. So it’s worth pointing that reality out. And exploring why they feel he COULD earn it if he tries harder to be communicative and understanding. But if there’s one thing above all I love, it is the mere MENTION of the term One For All blows the lid of more than a CENTURY of hiding from AFO, the government, the public, and all other villains. The MOMENT Shigaraki says where is OFA, Endeavor asked what it was. And Deku IMMEDIATELY ran from the evacuation site and Shigaraki went after him INSTANTLY. It wasn’t the extra quirks that gave him away, it wasn’t Bakugo revealing anything, it wasn’t Deku being registered quirkless in elementary school and middle school. It was JUST the fact that AFO found out Izuku Midoriya was the 9th wielder ALL THE WAY back in season 3. He used Search and shouted at All-Might. The worst case scenario had ALREADY been laid bare 3 seasons ago. It’s a MIRACLE it lasted this long. But the unknown connection to All-Might, AFO’s grudge with the man. Deku being hunted. And just…there’s no more hiding it. Thank GOD only the Todoroki’s have become aware with the top 3 heroes. Everyone else just believes it’s a connection with AFO. Which it is INTEGRALLY. But Deku becoming the new Symbol of Peace and All-Might’s successor HAS to be prevented from being FULLY leaked because then Deku gets blamed for the war itself. Because ALL OF THIS. Was for the sole purpose of hunting him down to kickstart the Dark Age AFO created before the era of the 4th holder. It breaks my heart seeing Bakugo in a state where he likely would have barged into Deku’s hospital room and he would have screamed at a comatose Deku. (Such loving friends willing to do anything for each other right guys? I know he’s made strides, but that is PURELY Bakugo development. Not their relationship. I have to say it again.) But Uraraka and Iida would ABSOLUTELY be in the hospital room waiting for Deku to wake up if All-Might hadn’t asked for the room to himself so he can try and sense the OFA conversation. (Not at ALL a signal this man might just still have the prime power. It’s ANOTHER signal I can’t ignore.) It would make it SO much harder to see because the two of them care for Deku’s well being more than any other student. And last but not least, get me a poster of Iida holding his chest. Because I am throwing that on the Iida chop gold medal pile. What the hell is he doing? I don’t know but I love it.

One detail about that flower Todorki's Mom brought is that she only told Endeavour that one time that she liked that flower, and since she was interned at the hospital, she always received that flower from someone every now and then, that's why she brought it

“You’re the problem” Lupa got me dead lmao 😭

Endeavor's face has the most character development in the entire series, NGL

3:55 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂lupa never fails to make me laugh

i like how dabi is endeavors dream come true in the worst way possible

“You gotta give your son a beating one last time” -Rei Todoroki

Something interesting to note. Shoto's burn on his face isn't due to the hot water. The scar is basically frostbite due to rei immediately using her quirk on him in a panic after she did it. Which ironically mirrors Dabi's scares. Because, Dabi's obviously are due to his flames meanwhile shoto's is due to ice.

The whole “If you’re a Todoroki, you’re Endeavor”, storyline has been awesome through the series, so many dynamic characters changes with the Todoroki family.

8:37 Judging by Roshi little nod of excitement, I'm guessing these new heroes are going to be the real deal

Toya fr said to baby Shoto, "You're hired, but you're also fired". It's kinda crazy how Endeavor's inspiration for making children was All Might, that just leaves the question, What was he screaming during intercourse with Rei? "ALL MIGHT!! ALL MIGHT!! REI, I'M BOUT TO BUSS, PLUS ULTRAAAA!!!!".

Lmao roshis stupid face when he saw Miss America killed me🤣

I love the way we see Toya/Dabi crying blood and think "maybe he's sad deep down" but then later in the episode we realise he cries when excited, he wants nothing but the worst for endeavor, he'd never cry for him.

Pretty much, toya’s quirk is the reason he questioned his own existence in the first place.

8:36 Roshi's Smile in manga reader was great.

Lupa I'm glad you called that out someone making him a support item to help toya control his flames

Can't forget that it was Shoto's mother's idea to have more kids so they could be there for each other

Stars and Stripes teased Roshi: *nod in approvement*

It’s crazy how dabi had the reverse of shoto’s hair for a bit

Can't wait for the dub of this episode: "All he ever taught me... was to turn up the heat..."

3:46 if he told Touya to stop, then he should've stopped his little project as well lol expecting him to stop when he keeps seeing you create more kids for his goal will only encourage him more

Started smiling when they showed stars and stripes lol. It's gonna be epic when that fight happens

After Toya tries to bbq Shoto, you can see Endeavor's sleeve is all burnt up, as well as his arm So he probably held Toya back before knocking him out or smth; goes to show how strong Toya's flame is, if it managed to hurt the guy with fire powers

Todoroki's mom: we brought him into this world now you gotta take him out

Fuyumi Todoroki actually does not have the same VA as Anya, but Lady Nagant does (The criminal with purple hair in the intro, Roshi know who she is)

These episodes really love pulling my heart strings 😢

8:38 classic Roshi banging his head to "(not)spoiler man"

The close up of Roshi just nodding at a certain silhouette...

8:38 that head nod is exactly how I felt Roshi lmaoo that's my bitch!! Can't wait to see her in action... Season 7 is gonna be the best because of her, best believe!

Man, this season is by far the best... Well at least to me. I'm lovin every episode

8:38 that smile that damn smile hahaha

My guess is that Japanese keyboards on phones are the same for both English and Japanese phones. If that's the case, you tap and drag to select each character so it is a mixture of old texting and knew. An example would be that you tap the same place for ka, ko, ke, ku, and ki but the direction that you drag your finger after taping decides the character. Not that anyone cares, just thought I'd give my input on swiping vs. tapping.

8:39 He knows what is up or rather whose is coming!

Endeavours redemption arc is basically what kratos said "do not be sorry be better" he knows he can't be forgiven but he still tries to atone

8:36 roshi knows what's up

The facial expressions in this episode are top-tier and absolutely terrifying.

Couldn't help but notice Roshi's face when they showed THE silouhette. I feel you bro, we're all (manga readers) waiting for that to happen.

8:38 I feel the same bro, I feel exactly the same

2:18 I saw a fan post about him in a suit that helped him with his powers & this was a while ago, I always thought after the collab with redestro they would get him right

8:37 "HE KNOWS, HE KNOWS, AND I KNOW HE KNOOOOOWS!!!"

8:33 i like that nod and smile from roshi when we see the silhouette of Stars and Stripes ^^

based off that little teaser they showed us. i think THAT fight might happen at the finale

3:11 I was hoping I wasn't the only one. Thank you Roshi!

There's two more with responsibility in this rarely mentioned (though NO WERE NEAR AS RESPONSIBLE AS ENDEAVOR). Rei's parents had their hand in this, despite one of them only briefly being seen. They agreed to the marriage along with Rei, and the one time Rei called for help (The Teapot Incident) it was to them only to not get it; I'm guessing just before Shoto entered the kitchen her mother told her "well dear, just try to stick it out. We need the money and it will look bad on both families."

Can we just talk bout how fire the intro is?

Their family is more interesting to me than any other piece of the story.

8:40 the knowing nod 😏

POV: U perfectly instigated a fight 8:38

I theorize Dabi makes flames by secreting some flammable solution from his pores and shit and that's why his flames are blue. That's also why he starts crying when he uses his flames because the way he makes flames is by pushing his glands and such. He doesn't cry tears, he cries fuel. So him being sad and crying made it all worse on Sekoto Peak.

It's amazing to see these scenes animated! and Touya's VA did a great job. The whole Todoroki family needs so much therapy. I liked how they had Natsu emphasize that he was only supporting Endeavor in stopping Dabi. Forgiveness from him still isn't an option, at this point. Feel a little bad that Bakugo wasn't allowed to go in and see Deku, but he probably does need to be resting. He's still recovering and shouldn't push himself with all his screaming an stomping around. Though I know that's just because he's worried about Deku.

2:23 See I was thinking the same thing for him as a kid but sheesh I can only imagine how crazy it would all be

Dude with the Glasses is a KZfaq Icon frfr

This episode was animated beautifully

8:38 *S&S outline appears* roshi: good soup

roshi had tht look when they mentioned international heroes i cant wait for tht thing

8:36 yeah bro def has read the manga😂😂

So Hawks is now Stephen Hawks... *Ba dum tss*

Toya was really like, “Dad, why’s it smell like bitch in here now?”

This episode trully shows how easy it is to turn your kid into a psycopath.

Roshi: nods in manga reader

8:58 BRUHHHH!! Yeah we do know what it means alright 😅😂

If i'm a therapist in this universe i'm moving my house right next to Todoroki HQ

Lupa brings up a good point about a support item for Dabi. I don't think anyone thought of that.

They showed the sillhouette but damn, i can't wait to see how they animate a certain foreign hero.

The world is in shambles meanwhile deku is on his ZOOM call😂

roshi nodding to one of the best things coming. 🤣🤣

The close up on roshi I'm dead 😂😂😂😂

Bro Lupa doing the Mr.Mcman voice is comedy😭
