What's really scary is how happy Dabi is. He's been waiting to drop this bomb for a looong time and looks likes he's having the time of his life.
@fana:
I liked the reveal but I'm having a hard time seeing what real trouble that could cause for Endeavor.
He might no longer be voted Number 1 (since popularity is part of it) but honestly, so what? I think hero ranking will be the least of their problems after this arc.
Also, it's not like that would prevent him to be a hero and continue to save people. He won't go to jail or lose his hero licence because he was a shitty man in the past. Especially since his family were already forgiving him.
Plus, I have a feeling we'll get some Endeavor's side of the story that will kinda redeem him.
I'm way more worried about the mom's mental health.
Max already addressed it, but I'd like to add people will be looking for someone to blame and since Endeavor's the #1 hero it may fall on him (and heroes in general). Also, people tend to blame parents for what their kids do (whether they had something to do with it or not). Endeavor's gonna get a ton of flack for "raising a murderer". "How can he save the country when he can't even save his family?" Stuff like that will be shouted. Man, I hope Horikoshi takes full advantage of what he's setup this arc in the following arcs.
@Cyclone_Baroness:
He probably blames her too.
I'm still needing to know how or why the Todoroki's thought he was dead. Cause that funeral picture he looked to be in middle or high school.
Looking forward to Toya Todoroki: Origin and Dabi: Origin. Although I'm kinda hoping we get that in a later arc.
@maxterdexter:
You have to put this reveal after the breaking of all might. You had superman, golden age perfect superman who always won and made the correct choice, and even if he lost his lungs he lived and died to keep people safe and so they could live in blissful ignorance on how easy a maniac with the right quirk could come and end it all. But then he's gone, and then Endeavor is there, who got disfigured at challenges that All Might stoped on the way to buy breakfast.
Then there is this shitshow, showing that endeavor can't do shit to what all might did, and that all might was just an illusion, and then you find out that the old flamebeard personal life and home crimes helped cause this mess?
If people can't trust heroes, you wake up to the reality where you can't know for sure that a madman won't just run in and grind your home to dust, or make the oxigen in your lungs expand until you pop, or little miss vampire sucks you dry to cosplay as you, if heroes can't defend you, you have to do it yourself What OG Destro wanted, or if the hero agencies can't defend the population, people like Hawks will have to do the job directly in the state control, what an actually facist goverment would want.
All Might was a fluke, a lucky accident where the strongest was also the kindest.
Hm… Forgot about the Meta Liberation Army. Yeah, I'm wondering if there be a surge of new recruits now. And, of course the Police Commissioner General will probably overhaul (heh) the police force, giving them more power or mechs or something.
@JulieYBM:
I hope Mama Todoroki escapes to the battle scene to join the fight. It's so tiring seeing her as a pawn in the story.
I don't see that happening, but I really want her and Dabi to meet up again at some point. Oh! I just realized reporters looking into the Todoroki family will find out Rei's in the hospital. That's not gonna help Endeavor's rep.
