A rare moment when Endeavor recognizes he does in fact have more than one child. He immediately regrets it.
Have you written metas on the flowers Enji sent to Rei? I'd love to read it
No, I haven’t, but thanks for the question. It looks to me like it may be an Amaryllis or a Kamchatka lily and it’s quite interesting to look into the possible symbolism.
I don’t know if the colour in the anime is really canon, but I do think it fits Rei that the flower is blue.
I think the narrative purpose of the flower is to give us a different perspective of Enji’s and Rei’s early relationship; reminding us that what we know is through Shouto’s eyes, who may be an unreliable narrator in this respect.
I don’t think it’s meant to be a romantic advance from Enji, but a symbol of how his thinking of his family shifted.

In pinterest I found a photo with kids sailor dresses and thought about Todoroki children.
this is actually like redraw of my old fanart from 2021, when I had just started watching the anime (haven't read the manga) when I drew them. So I didn't know their age gap, that touya in this age allready had white hair and of course didn't know about their height difference
All Might: *does anything in Endeavor's general vicinity*
Endeavor:
Warm Autumn Day
I guess in a way I do ship Rei and Endeavor….but only in regards to the small hope they might have had a good relationship in the early days. Maybe not a loving one and at this point not even a salvageable one, but a good one once. I like the idea of what it maybe was, not what it became.
What do we call this? Doomed ship? Sunken ship?
...
Kinda touched on their relationship in this post here.
The typos 💀 I just know Rei offered to respond for him and he insisted he could do it himself 😭
Know what really pisses me off? When people try to devolve Rei's character as a mouthpiece for Enji. Trying to say she's easily forgiving Enji when it's clear her feelings are (rightfully) conflicted.
In this scene, she makes it clear that she's still too afraid to face Enji yet has optimism. That flower signifies that Enji doesn't forget that he still has a family that he has a lifetime to make up to, even if he's never forgiven. And the idea that the narrative is trying to make Enji easily forgiven when one of his best moments is him dropping this iconic quote
Next, the scene in the hospital.
She doesn't let Enji drown in self-pity, reminding him that everyone in that family has suffered more than he is right now. But she still knows her husband is actively trying to change and doesn't take the chance to fucking put him down unnecessarily like so many people want her to. Enji needs to get back up and help not just his family but also those in need from the 1st war's aftermath.
People who think she's someone suffering from Stockholm Syndrome are full of shit. This is a strong woman, someone who can see a former hateful person wanting to change and gives them the words they need. Trying to use that chance to be full of vitriol and hate will not break the cycle that the Todorokis are trying to escape from. And finally, the Todoroki reunion. She showed up not just to save Toya but Enji as well. She knows he wants to atone and she makes it clear she's saving them both.
And btw, this shows how much Enji regrets what he did and despite the marriage being arranged, he still loves Rei. He doesn't want to lose her too. But Rei doesn't want him to die either. People think that having faith in your former abuser is akin to forgiveness is just...ignorant. She wants him to live to continue atoning and she still has faith that he has changed and wants to do what's right.
Rei Todoroki has my respect for all this.
