This may be a bit controversial but I do believe that all the members in the Todoroki family, aside from Shoto, has contributed to making Touya into Dabi

Broskei_ said:

I get what you mean... And you certainly have a point, but everyting they did to contribute was caused by Endevour. I especially understand with Rei, she kinda had other options, but she did this involving innocent children and still having more.She could have been a better mom (at the beginig when Endeavor's abuse was still pretty light) but didn't. HOWEVER, Natsuo and Fuyumi were little kids, they could have doen little things better, but it wasn't their responsability, had their own struggles under his abuse/neglet and everything they did wrong was without realising or to cope. So I can't blame them

what what what is this thinking? fuyumi was 12 and natsuo was 8, how were they supposed to help touya huh?

TAEHYUNGDIOR said:

Seen in the panels, Natsuo did choose to ignore Touya's rants and tell him to go and talk to Fuyumi instead. I can understand that Fuyumi did nothing wrong now that I think about it cause she did try and look out for him. Though most of the blame should be on Endeavour and Rei

Edge_is_a_weapon said:

even if natsuo had listened nothing would have changed, blaming an 8yr old kid is just silly

I have no words, I’m just disappointed in rei, instead of trying to help her broken child, she wanted them to fight him and even kill him.

Wow. Dabi is a self admitted multi mass murderer whose killed more than 30 people and would destroy the entire country of japan just to satisfy his own twisted desire to hurt his dad. How you can sit here and say you want him to win is mind boggling

i didnt like this chapter, at all.i was hoping that rei would hold enji responsible, show him how much he hurt everyone. from what we see in tha backstory, and what we already know, enji abused his whole family a lot. i think reis and shotos decision to help him defeat dabi is unrealistic.
also i ve seen thrown around that dabi is a misoginist and i have to disagree. we have to take into account that he was a broken child when he said those things, and that all the women in his life, all his family, had failed to protect him and also he has enji as a father figure, who as we all know treated women as baby factories. i may be biased because in a weird way i see myself in dabi, and the leage of vilains, i support their cause and ideology.
its worth mentioning that not all his bad character traits should be dismissed by his trauma, but an intresting question to ask is, what if the roles were reverced? just because dabi has a vilain tag, does this me we cant forgive anything? and just because enji is a hero all the horrible things he did and still does can be ignored?

I don't think this chapter is ignoring anything regarding Endeavor, it still paints him as a failure of an husband and father, and like Rei said, he now has to take responsability, along with all of them.

Also, while I see how you can be unwilling to forgive Endeavor (tho not what he is looking for), being ready to forgive Dabi is simply impossible at this point because, remember, he killed 30+ innocent people, Touya could have been saved, Dabi is way past that point.

Also, if you look at it from the most pragmatic point of view possible, Endeavor only ruined 5 lives, and being the n°2 hero, he most likely saved infinitely more, while Dabi possibly ruined 30+ famillies.
