Chat let’s all go back to 2019 when they intercacted , I don’t wanna be the last HawksTwice truther that survived that long on a not even handful of fanfics they have
Did endeavour really cry in the manga when he apologized to touya and the entire todofam?
No, he didn't. It's an anime only addition to make him more sympathetic.
It's very clear that the entire title change was driven by a pro-Endeavor agenda. Someone up high in Bones really wanted to say that it's everyone's "I'M HERE" moment rather than Todoroki Shoto Rising.
When the entire point is that the Todoroki family climax is not only a tragedy, but the way Enji and Rei are scrambling last minute everyone outside also at danger.
Shoto is the only one who can prevent the mass annihilation, because HE WAS THERE - there for Rei to save her from the hospital, there for Iida to save him from Stain and inspire him to become the kind of person who'll carry him at transonic speeds, there to fight Toya in Enji's place, there to train Phosphor so he could counter Touya without harming him.
It's Shoto's "I'M HERE" as he becomes a hero to reassure strangers and bring salvation to the family. It's everything he worked for coming together - that's why it is his RISING.
But Bones management tried to take it away from him and make it a watered down "everyone is here, everyone is cool" kind of moment and many fans sadly bought it.
But I think the animation team did a respectable job in 10 mins to try to make sense of the story as much as they could.
au where touya stays but the abuse still happens
i don't really see how people call or think dabi lazy of all things when he's spent the last ten years of his life keeping his walking corpse alive through obsession and virulent hatred, meticulously planning out his revenge, all the while honing his quirk, even when his skin withered and charred away from his body.
or the fact that, before that, he kept repeatedly burning himself on his own flames when he secretly went off to train as a child without pause or care for his well-being in order to not be seen as defective and worthless as he felt and was made to feel but instead as someone who could achieve the same toxic dream that was ripped away from him to be peddled to shouto.
like ... "i can't wait to see that miserable expression on his face. all i've been waiting for ... it's taken so much to get this far." — touya.
let's not forget the fact that he ... canonly kills those that he deems worthless because they live day to day without ambition when he scouts for recruits.
and if i really, really want to reach, we also have the smash!! dabi who worked his little ass off on that island. 😭
not to mention he gets mad when tomura isn't doing anything to help.
tl;dr — dabi's a hard worker. he has been since he was a kid for the wrong reasons, and that has continued as an adult. but he is still a hard worker, an over-achiever.
i could see him taking breaks when absolutely needed, but those would be short-lived and fleeting at best. much of his life has been.
