Shoto can both hate his dad and still not want him to be murdered.

It’s also possible this isn’t even a redemption arc.

i liked the panels when todoroki finally collapsed to the ground after seeing his dad wasn't dead

his face very accurately captured that feeling you get when your body gently reminds you that you have not taken a breath in seven minutes

Well, Bakugo, most people have this feeling called "Not murderous rage".

I know.

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.
I'm hearing from others that people (Read: a subset of english fans) are sending Horikoshi death threats over this last chapter, which, ya know, is a very mature thing to do and doesn't make you come off like a loving psychopath at all.

It also feels a bit hypocritical to send someone death threats because you don't like that a character was abusive. Something something it's a cycle.

If it's true, I dearly hope Horikoshi can't read English. Or that he realizes it's only a small, insignificant part of the fanbase. It saddens me that he may believe this is how the west in general feels.

I think he's been to enough English conventions to know that people generally like him. Not that it means he should be having to get this stuff, it's pure bullshit.

That's awful. I just don't get why people do that. They can just stop reading!

EDIT: I'm looking right now, and I can't find people sending death threats, just people reacting to the one bad tumblr post. We might be making a mountain out of a molehill here

I'm surprised this chapter is what's causing all the anger. I feel like the past couple of chapters were doing way more to try and explain away a bunch of Endeavour's actions, but not so much in this one.

I think sending death threats to presage your vengeance for the murder of your father by some manner of corrupt aristocrat is acceptable.

all I saw it doing was showing what he did and how he felt about it. nothing said he was being forgiven or even that he thought it was ok (which he clearly did not). worrying that it might happen is one thing but I feel like any kind of anger is jumping the gun a lot

How would somebody on Tumblr send Horikoshi a death threat, and how would we know if they had?

The catalyst is 100% Shoto being shown displaying an emotion that can be construed as anything other than undying, loathing hatred for his father.

i'm extremely angry at these people for some extremely e/n reasons

suffice to say that hating a parent for being severely emotionally abusive didn't stop me from losing my poo poo at her funeral, i wonder what these headasses would have to say about that

I guess Shouto looked, like, glad he wasn't dead or something? And that triggered all this?

(Geez, hadn't even meant to make a tumblr triggered joke, more like 'the trigger to an explosion'.)

This is seriously messed up.

At this point, it feels like the emotional arc of this arc is going to be more Shoto coming to terms with his feelings about his father than a redemption for Endeavor.

There aren't really a LOT of people being this stupid. It's just a really small amount of people being loud about it. Most of the people I see who hate the recent developments are baffled by the apparent death threats...none of which I've seen actually directed at the guy but mostly just in rants.

Shaped like a friend

You can tell the people complaining on tumblr never actually dealt with abuse. E/N levels of poo poo (Seriously this is personal stuff, don't feel bad about not mousing over it) but I had to suffer being beat by my father almost daily growing up for awhile and was always whipped into training for sports I had no interest in. If I asked for something else I'd get struck. If I failed I'd get the poo poo kicked out of me. I'd be name called, humiliated publicly and I'd be dragged around and shown off like some kind of trophy at public meetings. It was a life I couldn't escape from because my mom was handicapped and he was friends with the police force so I just had to live with the abuse.

A few years ago he got put in a hospital and was told he had a very short while to live. I haven't seen him in a few years but I still found myself worried to death that he was going to die despite everything. I talked with him over the phone and while I could never bring myself to forgive him for what he did to my mother and me I was still hosed up that he was dying. When he did pass I was distraught for weeks and could barely function and it still haunts me to this day for some reason.


I'm not going to say the writing is perfect but Todoroki's panic really resonates with me and is super effective and seeing snowflakes act upset just frustrates me to no end.

It's Tumblr. Getting mad over trivial poo poo and living in a bubble is their daily dose of life. I wouldn't put them in the same level of rationality as a normal person so don't get frustrated over those idiots.

On the bright side, language, cultural and geographical barriers do a good job of preventing most harassment that is/would be going on.

This is why I love the MHA world so much. Horikoshi can create whatever hero design he wants and due to the way quirks work it will all make sense.
