Maybe Toya faked suicide?

Or maybe he actually committed suicide and then was resurrected.

my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

I'm gonna take a wild guess that its less "endeavor personally did something to touya that killed/maimed him" and more "Touya did something on his own at the urging of or because of endeavor, and the rest of the family blames him for it" which gives a lot more leeway to why the Todoroki family doesn't know exactly where he's buried.

What then, the question is "why is Endeavour and everyone else convinced he's dead?" Like... the shrine is set up to clearly indicate the memory of a dead person, Endeavour wouldn't NOT bury his child even if he'd done it, Before even that there'd be hospital records, and it's clear in this chapter that this isn't a case of "Oh we're not allowed to talk about it." things haven't been covered up.

So, how did Toya not-die, Endeavour and family NOT know he didn't die, and he managed to grow up and live as a vagabond for so long?


if the skin graft theory is true why the hell would endeavor bury his son skinned down? unless dabi watched endeavor kill his son without burning him, was severely burned himself, and then robbed his grave for skin I dont see this theory working

Keep in mind, Endeavour himself blames himself for Touya. The last time we spent with him, he lamented about "The future [he'd] stolen" while clearly thinking of Toya. So while it's possible he still blames himself for what happened regardless of direct involvement, it's also clear he thinks whatever happened was a fatality.

It's entirely possible that it was a similar situation to the one Natsu is in now. A villain took Toya hostage and Endeavour accidentally (or on purpose) immolated his son taking down the villain.

Also as a correction, I don't think the manga has ever said "They don't know exactly where he's buried" those shrines for the dead like the one Toya has are just... a thing that is done. It's not indicative of there not being a known grave.

Yeah, I'm thinking "accident that Endeavor blames himself for" is a lot more plausible than "Endeavor straight up murdered or directly caused the death of this child due to being a prick", largely because the latter would push Endeavor from "domestic violence shitbag" to "literal murderer who should be imprisoned, not forgiven or redeemed" and that would be weird given all the time the manga has spent fleshing out Endeavor and focusing on his abuse of Shoto being his greatest crime and failing.

That and if he had straight up murdered/nearly murdered a child and Dabi knew about it, there would be no need for all the terrorism because Dabi could destroy both Endeavor and peoples' faith in hero society by going to the news and saying "Hey I've got a hot scoop - your #1 hero is an (attempted) child murderer!"

one of endeavor's very few on-panel remarks about toya was that he had rei's frail constitution so yeah, he probably pushed the kid too hard and he spontaneously combusted

"Maybe the next kid won't explode." - Endeavor

It would certainly explain why Shoto's temperature regulation would be considered so perfect by him, though. Y'know, aside from the obvious reasons.

Endeavor himself noted his issues with temperature regulation and I imagine a child who inherited increased fire power with no change or even a decrease in tolerance to it would end in disaster.

Yeah I doubt Endeavor is directly involved even accidentally in what happened to Toya. Endeavor gave up on Toya when Shoto was around, and he was still around when Shoto's burn happened. My guess is that soon after he tried to prove himself to Endeavor and combusted himself somehow.

Alright, my personal theory is something along the lines of this:

Endeavor pushes Toya too far, causing a running away from home. Endeavor tries to find him, and nearly does, but suddenly, a villain attacks, taking Toya hostage.

Toya, in a desperate attempt to both not get killed and not have his dad save him (which would give him even more leverage over him than being his dad would), sets himself on fire while the villain has him in a hold or restrained in some fashion. Endeavor is too shocked and confused to think that Toya is alive, Toya is left barely standing, the villain is turned into ash, and Toya takes this opportunity to rebrand himself and get vengeance on the society that pushed him to the brink. Some back alley doctor treatment and a fresh purchase of black hair dye later, Dabi is born.

I only just realized it but it was very appropriate for Kirishima to want to work with Tamaki (Sundowner). Though Kirishima is much better at hiding it, he has very similar confidence issues to Tamaki and part of what inspires both of them is much more outgoing childhood friends.

yeah, Suneater does kinda point that out- though it's more a matter of Kirishma faking it (and believing it himself to somre degree) rather than hiding it.
