I think for some reason Japan really likes to reference that scene, yeah

ive never seen a Terminator but it’s a pretty rad scene tbh, more media in general should shamelessly homage it

So there's a 0% chance that Dabi has a change of heart here, right? He's just gonna be delighted that he gets to kill everyone and then Shoto comes in and they all team up to stop him

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

Dabi seems to be completely incoherent and incapable of recognizing what's actually happening around him, so I'd wager he's basically just a walking natural disaster rather than someone who can be talked down. There's definitely going to be a Todoroki Family Tag Team.

Horikoshi senses the frustrations with the seeming lack of consequences and just has the entire Todoroki family die stopping Dabi

He ends up completely confused by the backlash

It's going to be really funny when shoto arrives, ready to burn down with Dabi and the rest of his family, only for Iida to use his super speed to just drag Dabi out into the middle of the ocean.

there’s only one way this ends and it’s with dabi trying and failing to roast his family alive.

As long as the rest of family does not gain considerable power, I am fine with most resolutions to this conflict at this point except if Dabi somehow survives and/or has a change of heart. At this point, I don't even mind that the family is somehow tolerating an exploding sun that has already incinerated fire-based heroes.

I can honestly see him having a last minute change of heart, right before striking his final blow, stopping himself, and then dying.

Even if the Todorokis survive this (which I don't know is all that probable at this point) they'll all end up with gnarly facial scars like Shoto and Enji. Fitting, really.

It would be super dark if they just killed Shoto's whole family here. Maybe Endeavor bites it, but I doubt anyone else does.

Only Endeavor survives. His family's sacrifice finally absolves him of his sins, and their last words to him are forgiving him for everything that happened. Endeavor fully replaces Shoto in the top three with Deku and Bakugo (who they have to prop up Weekend At Bernie's style).

Endeavor becomes the Number 4 hero because having no lips/eyelids is really tough on marketing.

Numbers 2 and 3 are Edgeshot (as Bakugo's heart) and Bakugo, respectively

So like if you're saving Dabi and trying to continue to avoid ever killing any reasonably popular character what do you even do

He's a screaming flaming skeleton

There's nothing for a healed Overhaul to work with and Eri might be spent for the time being to rewind his flesh back on

I think more men have been killed off than women, but it's probably pretty close!

Nighteye?

A bunch of minor ones died but I assume only people with a relatively large role count otherwise like that dude Twice stabbed to death counts or whatnot.

Nighteye, Snatch, Twice, Crust, Majestic, Native, other weird dudes like the eel guy Twice kills, Redestro's mouse employee, etc. etc.

Looking at the list.

Magne F
Nighteye M
Sand Hero: Snatch M
Curious (reporter lady) F
Eel Boy M
Twice M
X Less M
Crust M
Midnight F
Majestic M
Native M
Stars and Stripes F

Outside of random nameless folks and people dead before it starts that seems to be the whole list. So at the moment roughly 2-1.

Also technically Bakugo but he is coming back.
