Yeah, just mentioning family was enough to get Snatch (lol) killed, I don't think Dabi is down for a family reunion.

Though for real, Dabi's made a public appearance now and IIRC he was a known criminal before that too. He uses big rear end blue flames. Unless that's an evolved form of his quirk and he had normal red flames as a child, there's gonna have to be some serious logical loops to set up to make Dabi pay off as a runaway Todoroki that somehow none of the other Todoroki's have recognized or commented on yet.

On the other hand I'm right back on board again if his real name is Blau Bruder.

Only if Todoroki starts shoving a photograph in the face of everyone he meets asking if they've seen this man.

Ozais. But I haven’t read the post-series books so maybe they become less hosed? My gut says no though.

One. Maybe two.

Meanwhile, everyone in Zuko's family has at least taken a shot.

I like how we get to see different reactions to Endeavor.

Todoroki still hates his guts, but respects the hero Endeavor. Also, I like how he pointed out how his fight with Deku helped him put things in perspective
Natsu still loving hates the dude and would rather cut him out of his life completely
Fuyumi just wants things to become normal, which, while not healthy, is a very real response when it comes to dealing with a broken family.

This could have been the chapter where, had Horikoshi handled this poorly, things would have been wrapped up. But we still see that this family has a LOT of work ahead in order to repair these broken bonds.
This is going to be a continuous story going forward.

It's really interesting and I wonder what the eventual conclusion is going to be.

I guarantee that's the reason Dabi wasn't around during the raid on their hideout. Gran Torino called out the civilian names of all the villains there.

Which does makes me wonder. Do they know about Dabi's real identity?

His civilian name might supposed to be dead and thus not made the connection.

Or maybe it's all a red herring?

He was there. Gran Torino knocked him out. Gran Torino only mentioned the names of those who were conscious, as a way of threatening them.

This chapter was really good though, I hope, finally, it can put to rest people's fears about how Horikoshi is going to be handling the Endeavor situation with the family. This isn't going to be an AssClass or a Soma. I think this is also the first time we've seen him completely without fire, not even an ember, he looks kinda strange without it all. I think it was done to humanize him.

One thing I absolutely love is Endeavor constantly says the wrong thing and then realizes he's done so. He's trying, but failing a lot, because all in all he's a very awkward person who doesn't really know how to talk to people. It really does reframe his 'harsh exterior' as a hero, as being less disgust and more... lacking in the ability to approach the situation.

I have a question



Is that Rei, or Touya?

We're lead to think it's the former because we know that incident exists, but, it's in reference to Endeavor thinking back to All Mights words about securing a future for the next generation. So, is The future he snatched away locking Rei into a quirk marriage with himself, or Actions he did to his first son?

it's hilarious how much of a glass jaw dabi has for all his firepower

one firm kick from an old man and he takes a nap for the rest of the arc

soon as he woke up shigaraki probably hissed air between his teeth and told him to pull up a chair

This was a really good chapter and I feel like they're really handling this Endeavor stuff well, but gently caress all that poo poo, bring on next week!

I can't wait to see more of the origin of One for All and see more of the previous users.

Oh man, it would be hosed up in Deku ended up having to relive the death of every previous holder.

His profile in one of the volumes states he likes cats.

I love little details like this. It really shows the difference between a good mangaka and a bad one.
If this was a Bleach chapter, we'd either just get a single line or static image about Aizawa waiting outside.

Here we get to see him, but also get a little insight in the guy by having him interact with a cat. And he even gave that cat some personality. It's good stuff.
