This. Dabi has real goals even if they are completely insane and selfish.

It was never going to be a satisfying twist after four years of it being telegraphed to the audience, but it was a hella satisfying development just because of the sheer sadistic glee that Dabi is portraying. He's basically gravedancing on top of Endeavor's career and that's hilariously douchebaggy of him. I love it.

Vote shit sandwich or the shit sandwich gets it!
Dabi is giving me serious Ur-Quan vibes here. Like, you get where they're coming from, but that doesn't make them any less than a villain and menace that must be stopped.

I'm actually curious where Dabi goes from here. I would imagine he'll probably want to leave Endeavor alive to writhe in the ruins of his shattered reputation and career. I guess he'll want to kill Shoto to twist the knife and also get revenge on the "successful" one.

Also probably more impactful to hero society that the entire run of the Liberation Front

Just because a twist is known doesn't make it a bad twist. The entire monologue was great.

Dabi did some good work here, this was the perfect moment to absolutely crush Endeavour. And gently caress knows what the mother is going to do, but I'm guessing it will be horribly tragic, since she was very deliberately shown watching it.

I'm just thinking about all those news viewers who want to know more about Gigantomachia's path of destruction and are annoyed it got pre-empted so some dude can air out Endeavor's family drama.

The revelation that he sent Starservant and Ending makes the Dabi is a failure meme all the better.

Skeptic: Sucks that High End and Starservant couldn't kill Endeavor, huh?
Dabi: ... yes. Trying to kill Endeavor was exactly what I was doing... By the way, I wonder if you could help me get this convict Ending some Quirk enhancer.
Skeptic: You think that'll be enough to help him kill Endeavor.
Dabi: Yes. Of course. Because that's definitely what I want to do. Kill Endeavor, hahaha.

Amazing how, for all the times I've disliked Dabi as a character, this chapter is absolutely incredible and watching him dance around with glee while Endeavor and Shoto are too shocked to do anything is just absolutely perfect.

I wonder what Dabi's plan was before Endeavor took over as #1. Or was it just killing Shoto?

Yeah, he says it in this chapter, he was going to kill Shoto after he became a full-fledged hero to maximize the impact of crushing Endeavor's lifelong work

When Endy became #1 he just shifted tactics, the goal was still the same.

I just realized that back when Endeavor barely defeated the High End and Dabi was approaching to finish him, he was probably preparing that bottle of hair dye removal and rehearsing the speech, he maybe even had that video with Endeavors crimes ready somewhere, only to be completely cock-blocked by Mirko. :allears:

I like the implication that Dabi carries the remover wherever he goes just in case.

Probably not, I think the League's new buddies in the liberation army were pretty important in being able to get that out there

The translator trivia points out that Gigantomachia starts shrinking a bit after he finally cashes Shigiraki and waits for another order. I wonder if this will be when Momo's anesthesia finally starts to take effect? He already seemed out of breath when he spoke, but that could just be him being tired from the run over.

Plus the video looks like it was filmed in the hotel where the Liberation Army was operating out of anyways.

I don't think I ever had any particularly strong opinions on Dabi in the first place but gently caress it, Horikoshi planned all of this perfectly, and you should all read Caleb's chapter notes, which includes a section on every piece that was put in place for Dabi.
