Too bad Best Jeanist never got a lot of screen time up until this arc, he's one of the cooler heroes around. One of the downsides of having such a huge cast is that it's hard to give anyone the screen time they deserve. I also love how everyone just casually accepted Bakugo's new hero name and is using it in conversations.

Now you know why many MHA fans, including myself, can't forgive or believe in Endeavor. He's trying, believe me he is in the manga, but no amount of heroism can't erase the fact that he's a wife beater and an abuser. So like you lad, fuck endeavor. But man poor Touya/Dabi, literally all he looked for was for his father's approval. Weird comparison but he kinda reminds me of Tai lung from the movie Kung Fu panda. Literally was trained to be the best and had his head filled with nothing but grandeur, but when the time came where he wasn't chosen he literally couldn't handle it and freaked out. Exactly like Touya

Wish I knew Japanese apparently Bakugos hero name is a pretty clever pun but it kinda gets lost in translation

Now we can talk much more freely about the Todoroki family. First off, we see that Endeavor's most disgusting behavior started to develop after the doctor figured out that Toya was literally not physically capable to follow the ideals Endeavor wanted him to have. Like, Toya had the superior fire Quirk however his body was built to resist cold temperatures so using his own Quirk would hurt himself, severely. Unfortunately, he picked up his father's dream and stubborn side. He couldn't accept that medically it was an impossibility. Using his Quirk was now a hazard to his own health and no matter what his family told him, nothing would convince him otherwise. Now we see Endeavor's slow(ish) decent, as Toya recklessly pursued a goal that would actively cause him harm Endeavor began to stress over him. No matter what Endeavor or Rei did Toya just wouldn't stop training his Quirk. We saw in this episode that Endeavor soon went off the deep end and started beating his wife and his demeanor became more unstable and twisted. This is likely where Rei's issues started, the stress got to her as well though hers was directly from how Endeavor interacted with their children and eventually how he treated her. Eventually she too went off the deep end which is what led to her being taken to that Hospital and why the doctors wanted her to avoid seeing Endeavor at all. They didn't want another violent episode. The question is can Endeavor be redeemed after what we saw he was like before the retirement of All Might? I mean we already knew he was like this during his redemption arc we just haven't seen that side to him in a while and this time it was all shown to us in detail, so right now it's difficult to say, "Yes, you can be Redeemed Endeavor." Because we just witnessed his worse side even if he's nowhere near as bad now as he was in that flashback. The thing that I've noticed is that we have a harder time accepting the redemption arc of someone who has beaten his wife and abused their children. On the other side of the coin however we have accepted the redemption of murderer's before like Vegeta for example. I just wonder specifically why is that the case? Murder is horrible too so why are we more open with the redemption arc of a murderer over a family abuser? They're both awful, plenty of people deal with both issues and yet the former is the one that gets more skepticism. Now let me make clear that this is not me making the statement that one is 100% the same level of a problem as the other. I'm someone who has dealt with neither issue so I'm just asking the question, "What is the reason that one tragedy is treated as less redeemable than the other?" I don't know if you knew this Curtis, but MHA did run into a controversy during (I believe) the Endeavor vs that High-End Nomu fight. Where people didn't like that Endeavor was getting a redemption arc. I wasn't really keeping up with the manga and anime at the time or during the release of this season, so I don't know if the controversy reemerged during this episode. This is my reference when talking about how people are less willing to accept a family abuser's redemption arc over a murderer's. If I was to guess it would probably be because most redemption arcs don't go into this level of detail on the character being redeemed, their actions. Also, there's the fact this is a big sore spot for some people, so this is no doubt a sensitive matter for many people. Again, though I'm just asking the question, not fighting for one answer over the other.

It's controversial, but to be honest this made me have more sympathy towards endeavor and less towards dabi. Toya was just a bad kid. I see no potential in him. All of endeavor's other kids turned out fine. Dabi is responsible for constantly burning himself when he was told it was dangerous. yeah, endeavor tried to train him. Who cares? There's nothing wrong with that. We see that endeavor immediately pulled back and chose his son's safety over his own ambition. Yeah, he was an asshole. But putting the moment he hit his wife in this context(where he's scared of Toya getting himself killed) rather than the prior context( during shoto's training) is more realistic and understandable. Not acceptable, but understandable. It's pretty clear something broke in endeavor when he couldn't get Toya to listen. I don't agree with his actions, but tragedy breaks people. I say this as someone who has been abused.

I can't feel bad for Dabi. He was never abused, he was told...not to use his powers that would kill him. I have sympathy for other villains, but dabi made his own bed imo. The worst treatment he got was everyone telling him to enjoy his life and stop destroying himself LOL.

I think it's probably a little clearer in the manga, but there actually was something between Endeavour and his wife Rei, it's not fully just an arranged marriage, they were at least happy enough together at the start. What caused Endeavour and Rei to go into a downward spiral was when they found out Toya's quirk could kill him, Endeavour actually did love his son, that's why he tried everything to stop him from becoming a hero, it's just... everything he did was the worst possible move he could make. He should have been there for Toya, but he thought that it would just encourage him even more, he didn't want him to die. That's why he kept having more kids after Toya, his goal at that point wasn't to create a child to beat All Might, it was to create a child who could crush Toya's dream... to save his life, obviously that was wrong, but in his broken mind that was the only way. Endeavour obviously made the wrong choice, but It's honestly really hard to think what the right thing to do would have been with Toya, I don't think there's anything that could have stopped him from going after his dream at that point, even if his family did support him, he's way too stubborn like his dad. The best thing they probably could have done is just support him and maybe try and develop the right equipment to help lessen the damage his quirk does to his body, he probably wouldn't live a long life chasing his dream (I mean look at what his quirks done to him and he's only 24)... but he could at least be happy while chasing after it, but that's something that's obviously hard to accept.

I will say, with all the hate that Endeavor gets (and mostly deserves, honestly) I do still really appreciate the sort of middle ground the family takes. The position of "this is still mostly your fault, but I'm not afraid to admit my own shortcomings in the Dabi situation." It shows they're finally reaching a level of beginning to be ready to forgive, at least a little bit.

Not forgiving him, I get. What he did was monstrous. But I believe people can change for the better. They carry the guilt of the crimes they comitted, but they try to make sure it does not define their entire being. The only one 100% beyond any redemption is AFO; he's pure evil, he cares for no one but himself and believes in nothing but a world with him as its master.

I like the fact that I don't think that the story is asking to forgive Endeavor, but to redeem him(i.e. show that he is not the same person anymore) in a realistic way. This flashback helped to put a lot into context for his actions. Like a lot of people in real life he didn't set out to be an abuser and an ass, but he didn't know how to turn off that drive that made him a hero. You here about the same thing with military, police and athletes that end up having domestic issues. The fact that his son was hurting himself to try and impress Endeavor seemed to be what broke him (and specifically when Toya tried to attack/kill Shoto which is what drove Endeavor to hit his wife). I get the same sort of vibes here that all he really knows is how to be a hero. Thing is the type of hero he is seems to focus solely on punishing villain's as opposed to All Might who was a more well rounded hero that would take the time to talk to citizens and have a connection to the community at large. It's also interesting to note that it looks like he really only started keeping Shoto separate from the other kids after Toya tried attacking him. I had a step father who was in the navy and he married my mom when I was a teenager and he only knew how to treat me like I was in the military and I see similar issues here. He didn't physically abuse us, but he was an ass and an argument could be made that he was emotionally and mentally abusive. I really didn't get along with him and moved out as soon as I graduated. It's been 20 years now and we have a better relationship, but I never forgot how he was and I think that is how the story is going here. You can acknowledge the growth and appreciate the person they are now, while never forgetting or forgiving who they were.
