This chapter was hilarious but talk about the least surprising reveal in history. At least now the characters are finally clued in. That dance though, I bet he practiced it every time he said his speech to himself for years hahaha.

I wonder how long he’s been carrying that hair dye remover. Dabi going full joker and enjoying it :allears:

Well it looks like we are getting the Endeavor arc capped off here. Expose Endeavor, maybe kill him, we now have 100% confirmation there was no "THAT WAS A CARGO ROBOT!" poo poo and lots of people died due to Gigantomachia's destruction. Even if the League gets away with just the group on Machia and the PLA eat poo poo- this is as big of a blow as you can deal to hero society. Dabi did something useful!

Is this the first mention that Dabi's the one who sent the bad guys from the Endeavor training arc after him?

We got this reveal finally, but they still haven't shown how exactly Dabi got burned. It was obviously from overusing his own quirk, but what was he doing that caused him to go overboard?

His fire is apparently stronger than Endeavor's and he is frail like his mom.

I think that's a good turn really.

Like Dabi's actions aren't justified- and adding this level of premeditation to them I think is really good. Dabi is deranged and a victim to a degree, but he literally just sat down after surviving his burns and literally decided "Okay I need to murder a whole bunch of people and blame it on Endeavor in addition to revealing his abuse, to REALLY stick the knife in." He didn't need to do that to own his dad. He intentionally used the request to recruit members as an excuse to find some people and roast them to build up a rap sheet to hang on Endeavor. That's pretty hosed up. I think the Shoto murder thoughts are probably there to just punch up the "yeah you shouldn't sympathize with Dabi too much"

He got a bad quirk combination from the genetic mix of his dad and mom. His flames burn even hotter than Endeavour, but instead of having an increased fire/heat resistance to match the increased firepower, he likely has reduced resistance to heat and a resistance to Ice/cold from his mother. As the whole idea is that Endeavour found someone with an equally powerful ice generation quirk to his own fire specifically to make someone capable of endlessly using both, which is where Shoto will end up because he never has to worry about overheating or over cooling. Touya/Dabi instead overheats even faster, which is why he is an abandoned “failure” even with his greater flames.

I know all that, but we still haven't seen the "moment" where Toya burns himself and becomes Dabi while the rest of his family thinks he died.

lol that flourish with the hair dye remover. Looks like his hair mostly resembles his mom's, but with uh burning tips instead of frosted tips. Makes sense, since as people are saying his body is mostly like his mom's. Seconding that I'm interested to see the actual series of events that lead to his self-immolation.

i know this is a revelation everyone saw coming and there's obviously a lot of artificial humdrum over 'oh well duh we totally saw that coming', but regardless I thought this chapter was phenomenally portrayed. you can practically feel the cathartic pent up rage and hatred dabi exuded in those scenes

Shocked I tell you
I heard there was there was a side story light novel that went into the Todoroki's a bit Touya was not presented as particularly sympathetic there. He was apparently planned to still be Endeavor's successor until Shoto was born with the perfect loadout, upon which Endeavor started to ignore Touya. Touya was angry about this and tried to take solace with his mother, but resented her cause she payed more attention to Shoto as well. Which made him consider smothering Shoto

I don't know if this stuff is true, as it's hearsay from someone who apparently read it.

I thought his tips was just dye that had not come off.

Possibly, but even if there was still some black dye hanging around that remover was way more effective than it had any right to be, so I'm assuming it just went all the way and it's all his natural color now.

I liked the little panel of Spinner going "Boss, we went through so much to get her-oh god what happened to you!?"

Also Gigantomachia called Shigaraki "masters", plural, so he seems to be able to tell that All For One is in there too somehow. Or it could just be a fan-translation thing.

Nah he mentioned earlier that there were two smells so he definitely realizes they’re both there.
