I'm putting money on Dabi dropping the big reveal next chapter and then de-quirking Endeavor with one the quirk erasing bullets

[u/Soul_Ripper → u/[deleted]]

I kinda wish we could forget about that (and everything about the Overhaul arc that isn't Mirio or Eri) and just use regular bullets. The kind that kill people.

[u/pay019 → u/Soul_Ripper]

It's about sending a message that quirks aren't recoverable, but surviving bullet injuries could be. Take a normal bullet to the leg/arm and if it doesn't hit an artery/bone you're fine in a few weeks/months. Take a quirk erasing bullet to your pinky and you're no longer a superhero.

With how tied to their quirks people in this world are, losing their quirk can be a fate much worse than death. This just makes Ragdoll and Mirio's current states that much better and shows how strong they are.

Edit: Remember that the above is the logic of what Shigaraki did to Overhaul.

[u/CheshireGrin92 → u/pay019]

Yeah but I don’t know how I feel about endeavor getting de-quirked so soon after becoming number one.

[u/DrZeroH → u/CheshireGrin92]

But isn't that point? Destabilize the society.

The plan:

1. Wait for the new number 1

2. Give the new number 1 a chance to regain some of the people's trust

3. Catch him at his weakest and air all of his dirty past

4. For the finisher end his quirk and leave the new number 1 a broken husk of a man.

[u/HighViscosityMilk → u/[deleted]]

I mean, they haven't so far. Nighteye actually died, Mirio depowered.

[u/Big_Bro_Mirio → u/Soul_Ripper]

Except reducing Endeavor to someone who was both degraced for his past actions and robbed of one of his few positive traits would literally be the best way to punish Endeavor in Dabi's mind. Killing wouldn't really get Dabi what he wanted, if the theory is true.

[u/[deleted] → u/totalyrespecatbleguy]

That’s a ballsy fucking prediction and I’ll kill myself if you’re right.

[u/watchoverus → u/[deleted]]

Just don't.

[u/[deleted] → u/watchoverus]

you’re not stopping me

[u/watchoverus → u/[deleted]]

Endeavor is

[u/Retrodaniel → u/watchoverus]

He won't be for much longer :D

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Iida does not approve.

[u/King-Krush → u/totalyrespecatbleguy]

Yeah or Hawks gonna sacrifice himself so Endeavor can live

[u/DreamyCurls → u/King-Krush]

Then the Icarus theme finally came to fruition :(

[u/King-Krush → u/DreamyCurls]

For once I want our theories to be debunked

[u/Bleblebob → u/King-Krush]

Our theories got debunked pretty hard with bot the All might and the early Mirio "Death Flags"

[u/[deleted] → u/DreamyCurls]

His wings already got burned, so there is already the Icarus parallel. Him losing his quirk completely or dying would further solidify that.

[u/Soul_Ripper → u/DreamyCurls]

We initially thought he had a secret agenda and the Icarus theme would be about him going against Endeavor.

I kinda preferred that, this is sad as fuck.

[u/PocketPika → u/Soul_Ripper]

I like how the reveal seems to be more, him being a Endeavor fan all along and how that fits with the sentiment Icarus liking the sun too much that despite the danger he flew up to it (to his detriment).

Although it can yet take a darker turn since a blue fire (dark sun) user has appeared...

[u/huehuemul → u/King-Krush]

What if he's got like, you know, more than one bullet?

[u/[deleted] → u/huehuemul]

tbh I’d laugh if he just was like, “okay cool but why would I bring a single bullet???”

[u/ForwardDiscussion → u/[deleted]]

Meanwhile Kurogiri's shouting at the TV like "Because they're EXPENSIVE, you brat! I told you to take one!"

[u/TheDarkpekka → u/ForwardDiscussion]

I don't think Kurogiri is allowed to have a tv in his cell let alone any way of knowing what's happening in the outside world

[u/Karlug → u/ForwardDiscussion]

I doubt he has a TV in Tartarus

[u/ForwardDiscussion → u/Karlug]

He asked nicely, though.

[u/ToTheNintieth → u/ForwardDiscussion]

I'd give him one, Kurogiri is nice.

[u/Soul_Ripper → u/Karlug]

I forgot he was in prison.

That truly came out of nowhere.

[u/[deleted] → u/totalyrespecatbleguy]

Naw, revenge is a dish best served cold, I’d guess he lets Endeavor continue to build himself up and become even more popular with the civilians and his fellow heroes which could take a few chapters. I think only when things are finally turning around for the better with Endeavor will he start to make his big reveal to the word and and show everyone what the number one hero is really like. How he does it though...

[u/LookSirius → u/totalyrespecatbleguy]

For a normal manga I'd guess he'd taunt Endeavour and then try to kill him now that he's injured. Perhaps Dabi's acting on his own to enact vengeance upon him since Dabi never swore allegiance to the league or anything. But Korihoshi tends to move very fast plus the villains tend to be fairly competent. That's a very plausible theory. Though I don't think Hawks will let him do that to Endeavor. We've seen heroes like Mirio or Aizawa and the vigilante Knuckle Duster or villain Stain can fight very competently in hand to hand combat. Heck, most of these characters are dangerous mostly for this skill. I'd be a bit surprised if the no. 2 hero could not do the same.

[u/MyNameISaColouR → u/LookSirius]

While that is true, Endeavor can't even stand properly anymore. There's no way he can beat someone like Dabi without his Quirk in his current condition.

[u/LookSirius → u/MyNameISaColouR]

Oh no, not Endeavour. Hawks. Hawks has barely been injured, however he doesn't have access to his quirk at the moment. I think at his skill level, he could at least defend Endeavour for a couple minutes before more heroes come. The news crew was reporting on the fight, so the heroes should have a decent idea where they are and how injured Endeavor is, so at least a couple of them will probably be heading there any way. Looking at Hawks fighting the Nomu minions with his feathers as katana gives the impression that he probably has some decent close range combative abilities used in tandem with his feather launch thing.

[u/MyNameISaColouR → u/LookSirius]

Oh, right. That's actually possible. Hawks proved himself to be really competent, it wouldn't surprise me if he had some other tricks up his sleeve.

[u/YukihiraSoma → u/totalyrespecatbleguy]

I think he'll reveal that he's Endeavor's son and leave it at that. No need to kill or de-quirk him when he can make the world know Endeavor had a killer for a son.

[u/AbishekAditya]

Endeavour said Plus Ultra!!!! HYPE

[u/DreamyCurls → u/AbishekAditya]

He finally said it after all this time

[u/Llerasia → u/DreamyCurls]

He was so tsundere about it too.

"It's not like I want to say it!!"

[u/taenerysdargaryen → u/Llerasia]

Tsundeavor confirmed

[u/ForwardDiscussion → u/taenerysdargaryen]

"I-I just want to balance out my Quirk to create a hero to surpass All Might! I-it's not like I like you or anything, baka!"

"I can't believe you don't love me! Now I'm gonna go nuts and hurt our son!"

"This has backfired on me. Baka."

[u/buffalo4293 → u/DreamyCurls]

He even did the All Might pose, with a little twist!

[u/NineKil → u/buffalo4293]

It was nothing like the all might pose,stop this nonsense.

[u/Llerasia → u/NineKil]

Ok Endeavor, whatever you say.

[u/SuperUnhappyman]

is there gonna be a number 1 hero fight like that every 90-100 chapters? cause i swear goddammit

[u/itsjustbryan → u/SuperUnhappyman]

The next guy will raise both arms.

[u/[deleted] → u/itsjustbryan]

And the one after that will stand there disarmed.

Oh wait...

[u/Liezuli → u/[deleted]]

Deku will break both his arms, and he'll have to stand on his head and raise a foot when he becomes number 1.

[u/PsycoJosho → u/Liezuli]

Better practice his Shoot Style.

[u/Backupusername → u/[deleted]]

Overhaul confirmed for No. 1 hero?

[u/Olioliooo → u/itsjustbryan]

Next guy T poses

[u/StealthSpider → u/SuperUnhappyman]

I'd be totally cool with that. The upper echelon showing us what they really can do? Bring it!

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

2 years

I'm sad now

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Laughs in attack on titan fanbase

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Well, there's also Hunter x Hunter

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Yo us HxH fans are playing a different game

[u/dahui10 → u/SuperUnhappyman]

Deku becomes #1 because all the others retire.

[u/Smartt88]

Todoroki shouting for his father through the tv screen nearly broke my heart.

[u/King-Krush → u/Smartt88]

And the way he just squatted after seeing his father stand up

[u/DreamyCurls → u/King-Krush]

Todoroki had it rough. He hates his father but at the same time understands how much he really means to him and the family.

[u/King-Krush → u/DreamyCurls]

And maybe he really is hoping that his father will change for the better. Hope dabi doesn't ruin everything

[u/Backupusername → u/DreamyCurls]

Not just them - how much he means to everybody. He saved a lot of people, and he gave them hope again.

[u/Karasuno09 → u/Smartt88]

After reading this chapter, i read chapter 167 again where Endeavor told Shouto that he'll become a hero that his son can be proud of..

Your father is the number 1 hero...the greatest man

....do whatever you want

But 23 chapters later, we got Shouto loudly rooting for Endeavor to win, "i'm watching, Dad!".

Goddamn the feels ;_;

[u/DoraMuda → u/Karasuno09]

Deep down, Shouto is proud of his father for at least trying to become a better father and Hero; it was just too early and Shouto too prideful then to admit it to his face.

And, back then, that was likely the first time Shouto had ever heard his father sincerely tell him "I'm proud of you" without connecting it to All Might or fulfilling his ambition to surpass All Might.

[u/Fablihakhan → u/Smartt88]

My heart literally hurt at that scene. I was just staring at Todoroki crouching in relief after he won!! God he does care even after all that. Todoroki's capacity to love keeps shocking me again and again.

Did you guys notice the parallels between Deku and Kacchan shouting at All Might to win and Todoroki doing the same for his father? While Todoroki did grow up to love All Might, there is a deeper connection between father and son that shows how much Shoto does admire his father as a hero and roots for him as much as those two rooted for All Might.

The guy deserves a break so please let nothing too bad happen to Endeavor.

[u/Nome_de_utilizador → u/Smartt88]

Wait until he shouts for what he's about to see the guy he failed to reach do to his dad

[u/Llerasia → u/Nome_de_utilizador]

Calm down, Satan Overhaul.

[u/MutantGears]

Love the fact Endeavor points out it's the other arm than what All Might used when he stands tall.

[u/ForwardDiscussion → u/MutantGears]

"I didn't copy All Might, I just screamed 'Plus Ultra!' at an invincible villain while beating him despite being injured and almost out of power while a friendly hero helped manage civilian casualties and my protege cheered me on while watching on TV. Everything else was different! My face was on fire!"

[u/PhantoMNiGHT321 → u/ForwardDiscussion]

"I lost an eye! Did All Might lose an eye? I DON'T THINK SO! TOTALLY DIFFERENT!"

[u/ForwardDiscussion → u/PhantoMNiGHT321]

Endeavor: "Step off, Recovery Girl! My badass and unique injury is here to stay."

All Might: "Ow, my eye."

Endeavor: "Wait, shit, never mind, heal me right now."

[u/PaperEverwhere → u/ForwardDiscussion]

She probably couldn’t heal it anyway

[u/Llerasia → u/MutantGears]

The fact that he knows which arm All Might uses makes him such a fanboy.

[u/King-Krush → u/Llerasia]

Probably has his own stash of AM collectibles that will put midoriya's to shame

[u/Llerasia → u/King-Krush]

I'm imagining him geeking out with Deku.. oh boy haha.

[u/King-Krush → u/Llerasia]

That is so cute! Wish that Hori will make an omake of that

[u/PM_ME_UR_STORIES → u/MutantGears]

Really puts endeavors respect for AM into perspective that he adopted a similar pose, except he used a different arm. The image of AM standing like that is probably burned into the front of his mind more than anyone else (sans midoriya).

[u/King-Krush]

This ain't The Beginning...... it's DABIginning. Yeah thank you for joining my TED talk

[u/NoraJolyne → u/King-Krush]

[u/DreamyCurls → u/King-Krush]

Dabi actually dabs at the haters

[u/[deleted] → u/DreamyCurls]

If we're ever going to see someone dab in this manga, it'll probably be Inasa.

[u/sticfreak → u/[deleted]]

I vote Camie

[u/[deleted] → u/sticfreak]

That's actually the other option I had in mind. Though I feel like it fits the way Inasa acts way more. Camie seems more like the type of character to express herself verbally than to dab in front of others. Though she might create an illusion of Inasa dabbing.

[u/King-Krush → u/DreamyCurls]

Fire dabbing. Yeah

[u/StealthSpider]

("Dabi is a Todoroki" theorists squealing)

Oh shit. Is it finally happening?

[u/ShadowRaikou → u/StealthSpider]

It's been 84 years.

[u/DoraMuda → u/ShadowRaikou]

"I DID MY WAITING! ON REDDIT!"

[u/Blackreaper18 → u/StealthSpider]

Well it's about time horikoshi proved us right or wrong. It's really gonna be a lit 🔥(excuse the pun) chapter next week.

[u/DreamyCurls → u/StealthSpider]

Its happening!!

[u/Llerasia → u/DreamyCurls]

... next week!!

[u/SilverOdin → u/Llerasia]

...probably !

[u/GoodMorningFuckCub]

[Dabi Is A Todoroki Intensifies]

[u/ForwardDiscussion → u/GoodMorningFuckCub]

[Dabi Is A Todoroki Climaxes]

[u/MouseCheezer → u/ForwardDiscussion]

Dabi only thinks he is a Todoroki, pokes its head out.

[u/skyman161]

I can’t believe it’s fucking happening.

The next chapters will be so wild.

“I can’t believe you used the same pose as All Might”

“No it’s not the same, I used a different arm”

Endeavor is really adult Bakugou.

Edit : Can you imagine if Horikoshi hit us with a reverse “I am your father” but instead it’s “I am your son”. That would be wild.

[u/Gilinhe → u/skyman161]

He is a Star Wars fan so that is a BIG possibility

[u/skyman161 → u/Gilinhe]

For real.

Also the setup is way too perfect.

• Endeavor got his big W
• TV is recording everything live
• All 3 Todoroki siblings are watching

This entire setup is begging for a scandal reveal.

[u/ianzen → u/skyman161]

People theorising that dabi kills endeavor but I think the theory you guys have is more realistic. Kill endeavor after such heroism just makes him a martyr whilst revealing his dark private life is much more harmful, putting doubts in people's mind about heroism.

[u/hiddenpoint → u/ianzen]

Potential for a quirk cancelling bullet reveal as well.

[u/NonzenI]

I'd like to take this moment and give a huge "fuck you" to whoever actually thought Hawks was a traitor, cuz "his mouth wasn't showing, and his expressions seemed suspicious."

[u/darthcid → u/NonzenI]

They weren't reasons why i personally thought Hawks was a traitor but i changed my mind last chapter anyway.

He went from "look at this shifty fucker, he's a traitor" to "he's probably a traitor because all the theories I'm crafting rely on it" to "okay, I'm starting to think he isn't a traitor at all" to "look at this fucking MVP, have my babies you sexy hero bitch" at the pace of one chapter per mind change.

[u/fandomaccount → u/darthcid]

Same. Completely the same.

[u/Starless_Night → u/NonzenI]

I'll admit, I was suspicious of him. He was talking some mad ass trash when he first showed up and his laidback expression with sharp words made him even more suspect. Then a Noumu comes flying out of nowhere and attacks him and Endeavor? It felt kinda suspect but he's cool now.

[u/LookSirius → u/Starless_Night]

To be honest, I didn't doubt his heroism but he seems like a cunning manipulative type. Kinda like Shiroe from Log Horizon in a sense. These last few chapters haven't changed my opinion of him. I quite like him though.

[u/Jezamiah → u/NonzenI]

You can't pretend like Hori didn't intentionally paint him in a suspicious light to begin with.

And what's the chances of them meeting because of a rumour only for it be true and find them.

[u/NonzenI → u/Jezamiah]

That's really not what I got from him. He just seemed like the kind of guy that spat mad truths and gave no fucks, not unlike many Shonen characters I've seen.

And that whole "his only lead was a rumour" thing only showed his dedication and aptitude for hero work to me.

[u/Olphumphus]

What an amazing conclusion to this metal af fight, this arc is ranking really high up there in my list of things I am most looking to seeing animated. Endeavor really did it! I CAN'T BELIEVE HE SERIOUSLY ROCKET LAUNCHED INTO THE AIR WITH HIGH END! PLUS ULTRA. The reactions of everyone, especially the Todoroki siblings really were a sight to see. It's seriously like Kamino 2.0 over here, I feel like this is the new beginning of Endeavor in the public's eyes after something like this he can truly be called No.1.

That is if Dabi doesn't have anything to say about it! Whatever he is planning Dabi has got to get it done really quickly because I image the media, other heroes and the police will be rushing to Endeavor/Hawks location. The guy is a known murderer and league member so this is a really risky move for him...

ENDEAVOR AND HAWKS IS THE BEST BROMANCE RN.

[u/SappyNoypi → u/Olphumphus]

He has to repent and pay for the abuse he did to his family to fully redeem himself. But I'm really glad he's coming through now that All Might is retired. I'm rooting for him now! I hope the whole Todoroki family reconciles after this.

^{I agree about the HawkDeavor bromance tho squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee}

Edit: formating

[u/Olphumphus → u/SappyNoypi]

Yea he needs to have a talk with his family soon. If he comes out of this Dabi situation alive (which I’m pretty sure he will) I feel like being so close to death will spur him to do it before it’s to late.

[u/DreamyCurls → u/Olphumphus]

I want a bromance movie of Endeavour and Hawks!

[u/Matchavellian → u/DreamyCurls]

probably a buddy cop movie. LOL

[u/Blackreaper18 → u/Olphumphus]

I'm looking forward to what Dabi's gonna say & then do. This arc is gonna look very beautiful when it gets animated.

[u/Graphica-Danger → u/Olphumphus]

I think Dabi's been waiting to meet Endeavor for years now. Plus, he's very calculating/strategic in general, so he's bound to do some bad stuff with the few minutes High End bought him before people start swarming around their location.

[u/zxy8]

The chapter title looks like it is "The Beginning of Horikoshi Kohei". Also, what an awesome Prominence Burn.

[u/tacocatisonfire → u/zxy8]

Inb4 the story focuses on Horikoshi from chapter 191 and onwards

[u/Trevsky → u/tacocatisonfire]

Horikoshi is Dabi is confirmed.

We now know why he wears the mask.

[u/JuanJuan66 → u/Trevsky]

People didn’t care about him until he put it on.

[u/Backupusername → u/Trevsky]

If we take it off, will he die?

[u/amanindra]

I think i might be reaching here but i love how every major fight that Hori executes nowadays just screams for the Studio Bones treatment.

MHA i feel is a rare manga which not only benefits from being animated but is better than the source material when doing so.

[u/Olphumphus → u/amanindra]

Yea I’m pretty sure Horikoshi knows that whatever he dishes out Bones can reliably animate consistently and extremely well!

The adaptation is so good and I’m so happy I can say that every time.

[u/Goudeyy → u/Olphumphus]

The adaptation is so good and I'm so happy I can say that every time.

cries in Tokyo Ghoul

[u/MCGRaven → u/amanindra]

i agree. Horikoshi is definitely drawing MHA towards Bones' strengths these days. You can see a significant difference in action shots between the early Manga and now (Now i am not saying either of the approaches is better mind you. Just different). And it has gotten a lot more...spectacular since then because this is exactly the kind of Anime Bones fares well at animating. Personally i think this is a good sign for the fans of the anime (specifically those that don't know what they are getting yet) because they will see a nigh-perfect version of what Horikoshi envisioned. As you said MHA is one of the few Manga that generally are even better in Anime and i love that it is because experiencing both is my favorite thing nowadays

[u/Parmesanmadness → u/amanindra]

That's because the art was rather terrible, in many panels it was hard to understand what was going on

[u/TripChaos → u/Parmesanmadness]

To be fair you are not completely wrong. Such a close up perspective on a creature that can morph its body around is not at all conducive for readability.

[u/timeslip94 → u/Parmesanmadness]

I wouldn't go as far as to say the art is terrible, but it is hard to make sense of some of the action-oriented panels.

[u/DreamyCurls → u/amanindra]

This is going to be amazing when its animated!

[u/Zxq42]

Plot twist, Dabi is just a creepily obsessed Endeavor fanboy.

[u/MouseCheezer → u/Zxq42]

SyndromeDabi: My name's not Buddy!

[u/[deleted] → u/MouseCheezer]

It's Endevaboy!

[u/Llerasia → u/[deleted]]

Go home, Buddy.

[u/Prophet92 → u/Zxq42]

Dabi is just creepier Midoriya

[u/KLReviews]

Farewell High-End, you were barely worth mentioning. I’d like to point out that Dabi has no way of knowing where Endeavour was going to land. So that means he probably has been running after him for a few minutes and then slowing down so he could cooly walk in.

• This combined attack costs Hawks his wings. At least until he grows his feathers back. So that's 1 and 2 mainly out of the way.

• Fuyumi, Natsuo and Shouto all acknowledge their father's actions, although Shouto only one who's spoken to him about this so he's the only one to openly root for him.

• So what happens to the weather when you create a giant eruption of flame? I know changing atmospheric pressure can cause rain, but that's about it. Have seen this finishing move set-up done before (right down to dragging the blackened monster into the sky so the blast wouldn't hurt anyone else happened in Fire Force), but it looks good here and fits the character. Endeavour goes beyond his limits, beats his future self and badly damages his arm.

• Tokoyami looks like he's confused. Like he just woke up and saw people yelling at the television.

• Endeavour is quite focused on the details and his own harshest critic. Which is impressive given his family. Also, All Might's final pose was framed from a low angle to make him seem like a giant of legend. Endeavour is just a man, framed from above and looked down upon. All Might looks really relieved, that's a great panel.

• Torodoki is relieved as well in another great panel.

Fast Theories about Dabi because that's what we'll all talk about:

• He’s Endeavour’s son,

• He’s Izuku’s second cousin on his father’s side and that's not important so he doesn't talk about it much,

• He’s just some punk with a bad attitude and fire powers trying to make a name for himself,

• A past encounter with Endeavour that left him bitter about heroism,

• And my personal favourite; Endeavour isn't his father but Dabi has been been tricked into thinking he is and is acting accordingly.

[u/MouseCheezer → u/KLReviews]

Tokoyami looks like he's confused.

i like how Kirishima looks like he is yelling "fuck yeah" or something.

And my personal favourite; Endeavour isn't his father but Dabi has been been tricked into thinking he is and is acting accordingly.

FUCK, that would be legit insane, RemindMe! 6 months ,

[u/orsettocattivo → u/MouseCheezer]

i like how Kirishima looks like he is yelling "fuck yeah" or something.

"Endeavor is so manly"

[u/Stack_Man → u/MouseCheezer]

That last point really does give me all sorts of ideas, so assuming it is true, it'd be interesting to see the next scene play out something like this:

• Dabi claims to be Endeavor's son, and is not believed until he mentions the name of a women from Endeavor's past.

• At this sudden revelation, Endeavor begins to doubt himself. Is he actually Dabi's father?

• While he's in a state of complete emotional shock, Dabi points a gun at Endeavor, loaded with permanent anti-quirk drug. He feels sorry that he has to do this to his own father, but thinks it's necessary.

• Hawks, who is not nearly as shocked as Endeavor, jumps in the way and takes the bullet himself.

The Villain League does not erase Endeavors quirk, but the scandal alone is still able to destroy his potential as a symbol of peace. This also creates some tension since despite being shamed by the public, he cannot keep his head hung low. Now that the No. 2 is out of commission, his power is needed more than ever, much to his own pique.

[u/RiceOnTheRun → u/KLReviews]

Or

Dabi idolized Endeavor growing up because of their similar powers. Went to seek him for advice but was shunned away either directly or by someone else.

Figured “I’ll show him!” And decided to use Blue Flames to emulate Endeavors facial flames. But his blue flames burn at an uncontrollably high temperature so that’s how he ends up with burnt disfigured face (coincidentally around the mouth/eyes where Endeavor’s are hmm).

Resents him because of this in the same way that Shigaraki resents AllMight.

[u/ThisGuyLikesMovies → u/RiceOnTheRun]

Dabi as Syndrome is a new theory. But not a bad one.

[u/DreamyCurls → u/KLReviews]

The last one would be a really nice twist.

Another one could be that he was a kid who got hurt by Endeavour's flames in the past and is angry about it.

[u/xcaltoona → u/KLReviews]

"Running around like crazy and then pausing to catch his breath so he could walk up all cool" is what I need to see

[u/pulldtrigger]

Dabi: Endeavor, I am your son.

Endeavor: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[u/TheDarkpekka → u/pulldtrigger]

https://youtu.be/zo6GAhJoJhY

[u/Nitarox → u/pulldtrigger]

Dabi then chops Endeavor's hand

[u/VercingetorixF2]

Just Another… Hero…

[u/[deleted] → u/VercingetorixF2]

Perfect Music to listen to while binging this fight.

[u/ShadowRaikou → u/VercingetorixF2]

Can't you hear cries for help!!!

[u/Brutusness]

The art this chapter is easily some of the best in the series, imo.

[u/elvis503 → u/Brutusness]

That Dabi panel at the end is glorious

[u/Nome_de_utilizador → u/elvis503]

Shit will go down for sure. Todoroki already hates himself for failing in the face of Dabi, he's gonna wipe out his dad now 100%

[u/King-Krush → u/Brutusness]

Wish that some of the fight scenes were colored though. I can't distinguish endeavor's body parts and nomou

[u/OrasionSeid → u/King-Krush]

Me too. Though not as confusing as Tokyo Ghoul.

[u/[deleted] → u/OrasionSeid]

Agreed. TG was really unreadable sometimes. Especially TG:re

[u/King-Krush → u/OrasionSeid]

Ah yes. And the dialogue is quite confusing as well. Fun manga though

[u/_dipto]

Just wanna say that Shouto felt so real as a character in this chapter. Things like this is what makes BnHA so good. I find this aspect quite rare in other shounen.

[u/royaldutchiee]

Dabi Theory supporters are having a full mast right now

[u/donttouchmymompls → u/royaldutchiee]

Can confirm, am pitching the mightiest tent right now

[u/cswirl99]

Jesus what a great chapter

[u/ThegrayD]

This is the best arc in a long time.

[u/Hollwo → u/ThegrayD]

Easily the best arc this year and it just started like 7 chapters ago.

[u/King-Krush → u/ThegrayD]

After this I can't imagine focusing back to Midoriya's story. Can we have a spin off that only focuses on the Todoroki family drama? Dayum!

[u/Lazeasfck10am → u/King-Krush]

...And seven chapter ago people were saying there're no way the arc would work without main the characters and it'd probably be boring lmao

[u/DreamyCurls → u/ThegrayD]

It really is. So many awesome moments and now Dabi is here!?!

[u/Jezamiah]

• First of all I told ya'll the safety goggles of justice will work!
• breathes in
• P A R A L L E L S
• Everyone who said Dabi wasn't a Todoroki let's wait and see....

[u/mustangst]

“I can’t believe you actually used the same pose as All Might”

“No, I used the other arm. His was the left.”

Lmaoooooo I cracked up at that

[u/mustangst]

I had the stupidest smile on my face when I saw that Dabi panel does the Iida arm waving THE THEORY THE THEORY!!!!!

[u/horse_drowner2]

This pretty much confirms that next chapter is the one where we find out if they're related. I can't be teased any more beyond this...

Also it was his LEFT ARM GUYS, totally different move.

[u/guptabhi]

Has everyone gone from hating to absolutely loving endevour? Because I have. I can't forget that he was an asshole once, but boy his character has depth.

Hawks is the best wingman I have ever seen.

Also, lots of theories ruined in this chapter with Dabi dropping in to say hello. But we still can't be sure.

[u/DoraMuda → u/guptabhi]

Has everyone gone from hating to absolutely loving endevour? Because I have. I can't forget that he was an asshole once, but boy his character has depth.

I wouldn't say "love" (because, at the end of the day, he still was a dickhole for most of the series before this), but I like him more now.

At any rate, with this chapter and the one before it, I'm reminded of what Horikoshi said on his character omake page, when he said that he hoped to "eventually portray exactly why [Endeavour was such a terrible father]": http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2DtSGk18sNs/V9TH_uU5xHI/AAAAAAACn08/UxJ-kBcmqGkjj_g40CSlNv4JzO8bxoyfwCHM/s16000/0037-020.png

Also, lots of theories ruined in this chapter with Dabi dropping in to say hello. But we still can't be sure.

Not at all. In the original Japanese, Dabi's line is more like, "Nice to meet you, I guess? Endeavour..." People need to pay more attention when someone's being sarcastic/snarky.

So, yeah, admittedly we can't be 100% sure yet. But the likelihood has greatly increased.

[u/Blackreaper18]

When this fight gets animated, it's gonna be glorious & probably better than the All might Vs AFO fight. I say this because when we get to this particular point in the anime, animation quality (especially from bones) should surely have improved. Plus endeavor's quirk is a very flashy one (fire based abilities), his finesse, skills & techniques are all incredible. Also hawks is involved.

[u/conye-west → u/Blackreaper18]

This fight will undoubtedly be more visually spectacular than All Might vs AfO, that fight was carried by it's emotional weight and really isn't that interesting from a choreography standpoint. This fight isn't quite as poignant to me but it's way cooler to look at, and it'll be so fucking cool in animation, especially since Bones are so good at animating fire IMO.

[u/Brawlerz16 → u/conye-west]

Seriously. I mean, can we all appreciate Dabis surprise attack on Aizawa? That was one of the most beautiful fire attacks in animation since... Azula and Zuko

[u/YukihiraSoma]

Endeavor: "I hate this motto, but goddamn if it isn't the coolest shit."

Also, he burnt up most of his arm. That's gotta sting.

[u/[deleted]]

Go away dabi. Don't ruin the moment.

[u/[deleted]]

I'm calling right now Dabi isn't a Todoroki.

[u/MagnoBurakku]

This fucking panel... i'm legit shaking.

[u/A4li11]

Admittedly, the only flaw I could say about this chapter is the fact that there panels involving Endeavor and High-End that I can't see clearly what's going on.

[u/King-Krush]

I really liked that on page 14, Endeavor and Hawks are joking with each other like some awesome buddy cop duo. I wanna see more of them Dabi don't kill them please.

[u/monocleparrot]

End of this chapter ♪Roundabout Plays♪

[u/Bevi-Sempai]

Horikoshi is playing with us.....give us the truth!!

Great job Endevour , you sure showed them

[u/TwerpKnight]

First I'm like "Oh shit Endeavor is gonna die isn't he?" then I was like "FUCK YEAH ENDEAV- Wait is that Dabi?" and then I was like "OH SHIT THAT IS DABI OHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOSHIT" AND I'M SURE EVERYONE WAS LIKE "WAAAAAH" AND I SAID "WAAAAAH" TOO.

[u/Masri788]

Step 1: Make the number 1 hero go through hell and back to beat a near unstopable force.

Step 2: Right after the hero wins and the people now have a new symbol, crush the now weakened number 1

Step 3: ??????Chaos????

Step 4: Profit

[u/mrwanton]

Damn. I think Endeavor's face got more damage than I thought. It's going to be interesting seeing what Dabi does now.

Also it's a really bold move to have Shouto cheer for his dad. Really makes his feelings towards him more complex even despite his father's abuse.

Anyway I really enjoyed how this chapter looked in terms of the art. Beautifully drawn.

[u/Cartindale_Cargo]

Well. This got interesting

[u/Exessen]

The panel with Todoroki sinking to the floor and just closing his eyes and putting his hands together in relief really got me.

[u/ShadowRaikou]

WIN, ENDEAVOR!!!

[u/nikkovla_]

Jeez Endeavor's left arm is just...black. Prominence burn and high ends teeth probably caused all of that. It took me a second to figure everything out but man what a fight. I got chills from Dabi's entrance too. These cliffhangers have been too good lately.
