Me watching medical dramas

My theory about what happened to Touya is pretty much the same as yours - he attempted to do something dangerous with his quirk and burned alive for it. As to reason for it, I don't know. I do think, however, that it WASN'T during training, and I don't think Endeavor trained him at all after it became clear that he was "defective" - what would he gain from it. From what we see of the flashbacks, Touya was a healthy kid that played with his siblings.

I agree. The timeline doesn’t seem to work out that way. 

We know that while Touya had a powerful fire quirk, his body was too weak for it. 

So Endeavor must have given up on training him already at a young age and went on to have other children: Fuyumi, (unless twin theory, which I think it’s quite plausible given Endeavor’s and the other kids’ age), Natsuo and Shouto. 

Here is Shouto at five, pre-scar, not allowed to play with his siblings - and Touya is still among them. Endeavor clearly only training him.

in days before tragedy hits

ngl if I was in a coma for 3 years and woke up to a talking flower telling they’re my new family that’d be my final straw as well

sometimes i think of endeavor kneeling at touya’s altar, wishing that touya was still there. the dead cannot speak. you can conveniently make up your own story to suit them, imagine that the deceased son you cast aside would surely want nothing more than to be with family again. it brings me some fierce joy that dabi’s return denies that feel-good narrative, denies the desires projected onto his memory, that dabi can name the truth of why he vanished, that he can say for certain it was endeavor himself that drove him from the family and killed him in all but body. he’s no longer the child with no autonomy, no longer the dead without voice, he’s seizing the narrative and flipping it on its head and it is a euphoric moment.

Ch 226 - the Toga family’s response to Himiko

Ch 302 - the Todoroki family’s response to Touya/Dabi

Filing this one under parallels that are painful to think about too long.

I’m wondering if the current storyline with Dabi will or could affect Toga by reminding her of her own family. 

Essentially what happened to her seems like (for now) what’s going to play out with Touya. Dabi will be demonized in an attempt to take the heat off Endeavor / the heroes – that’s what I’m guessing, what with Best Jeanist saying he would help Endeavor prepare a response to Dabi’s accusations – and his family will publicly denounce his actions while taking responsibility. 

Plus, the Top 3 heroes have already decided to go after Touya, exactly like heroes came after Toga – a sixteen-year-old child – after the attack on her classmate. It is sad turn of events, and these two deserve better, but I would be consoled if at the very least, they got to bond over their shared experiences or team up to fight the Top 3.

ever since i've read 299 this is all i could think about
