Endeavor's missing son is the traitor.

Onmi posted:I don't know, did you think the other brother was being kept a secret when we only met the sister when Todo first went to see his mother? Is Dabi Deku's dad because Deku's dad hasn't been shown, and why not show him while his son is competing in the sports festival? The brother not being there is weird because Endeavor being (nearly)killed on national TV is a huge event that effects the whole family. Like, even if he wasn't at the hospitable with his brother and sister, there still should have been some kind of reaction shot from him. The flashbacks have also gone out of their way to hide his face. Like, if he's not Dabi, then clearly something is going on with the brother.

Dabi's burns look very intentional and painful, so it either lands on torture or extreme self-harm. I mean, they line up with all the parts of endeavor that are on fire all the time And just in this chapter we learned that his fire power's weakness was raising his body temp too much when he overdoes it

This is probably dovetailed into the reveal from Vigilantes that apparently AFO or his non-Shimura toadies are genetically modifying people and can steal parts of quirk characteristics.

Wellwinds posted:I mean, they line up with all the parts of endeavor that are on fire all the time We've known about Endeavor's weakness ever since Icy Hot explained why he was Icy at the tournament. Fire raises his internal body temperature. Endeavor's weakness is basically self-inflicted heat stroke. We've only ever seen Dabi make fire out of his hands. You could say "Of course. His hands are fine. That's the only place that's safe for him to make fire." But I have trouble believing that Dabi's power is so unstable he could have brought out his fire like "Dad's" and overdid it in a completely different way.

Holy poo poo, just saw this on reddit and I can't stop laughing. On the Dabi topic, I figure he has something to do with Todoroki's family. He refused to give his name and had that weird narrative beat with Todoroki, so on the basis of the writing not just doing something for no reason I imagine something will come up. No idea what his actual connection is though - him being a son doesn't really fit Endeavor never thinking of him(unless the twist is that Dabi just hates Endeavor for the hardcore neglect that made him burn himself since nobody ever taught him to use his own quirk or something) but yeah, no idea. Just figure he'll have something to do with them. Hopeford fucked around with this message at 02:14 on Jun 23, 2018 |

The flashbacks have also gone out of their way to hide his face. Like, if he's not Dabi, then clearly something is going on with the brother. And yet when Endeavor is going "The despair of it... drove me to..." He's not thinking of some shadowed child alongside Shoto and Rei. He can't be regretful and think he's a bastard regarding Shoto and his wife, and yet not a wayward son who's fallen to villainy? So even if we concede that Dabi is Endeavor's son... Clearly, Endeavor didn't do anything to him. Which means it's not relevant. The other kids make it clear that Endeavor barely gave a gently caress about them. I'd more buy into Dabi having been a villain that Endeavor burned or defeated, or perhaps a fanboy who, upon realizing what a jerk he was, burned himself. Or just completely unrelated.

I mean, Dabi is one of the only other major characters we've seen with a fire generation quirk, he's got the same eye color as Endeavor and Shoto (which the anime draws attention to,) he's motivated by dissatisfaction with the behavior of modern heroes, he's one of the only villains we know of whose actual identity stays a mystery, and the narrative has, in multiple occasions, drawn attention to the fact that there's a member of the Todoroki family of the right age that we've never seen in the current time. Horikoshi would not put all of these details together unless we were supposed to draw an inference.

Honestly between Endeavor, Bakugo, Dabi, and Deku's father I think Horikoshi just likes fire-related powers.

There's even a pretty general resemblance between Dabi and Todoroki that isn't all that much of a stretch. The theory isn't like a 100% lock but to act like it's a flat-out stupid theory is just willfully refusing to spot details.

Writers drop hints and poo poo all the time, that doesn't stop people from being weirdly dismissive of other people bringing attention to those hints. The real question is, are the hints adding up to what people think they are or are they adding up to an anti-climactic gotcha?

It's stupid because it requires everyone in the family to have unexplained amnesia that like I said would rival FF8's stupid amnesia.

I'd actually kind of like that to be the resolution to that whole "plot", that enough people just casually slipped up that the villains pieced it together without much difficulty.

The only person from the Todoroki family to directly encounter Dabi so far, iirc, is Shoto, who is only 15. If Dabi really is the third Todoroki brother, he could have hosed off long enough ago that Shoto doesn't have clear enough memories to recognize him on sight, especially if Dabi wasn't as horrifically hosed looking back then.

So no photos, no videos, no anything? No mention of his brother missing or loving off or being abused or having a slightly different quirk? No 'not again' when she see Endeavor abusing Todoroki? Endeavor also would have not had access or looked at any of the villain alliance memberlist the police had?

I mean a lot of this could be explained by whatever cause his appearance is something he did himself/something after he separated from the family. Also I don't think Dabi is his real name, it's like Spinner or Magnee. it's a villainous moniker. When the heroes raiding the alliance list off names do they give Dabi's out?

You know, is what I say, but I don't doubt whatever Hori does I'll be going "And that's why you're the master."

I'm gonna muddy the waters here a bit by noting that any of the kids could have whipped out their phone (or other communication device) during the run through the Forest of Magical Beasts and sent a "We're here" message with GPS coordinates. Since the bad guys didn't show up until night of the second day, they had plenty of time to prepare.
