His feelings regarding his mother have yet to be addressed, though he does specifically mention in his video that he believes that she was forcibly married and impregnated by Endeavor, hinting at some sympathy for Rei as well.\\\'\\\'\\\' \\\'\\\'However\\\'\\\', when Shoto angrily confronts him about sending Ending after Endeavor and how the villain threatened Natsuo\\\'s life, Toya only expresses disappointment he was only \\\"almost killed\\\" since the death would have hurt Endeavor more, making it abundantly clear any real feelings he has for his family have long since dried up.
** This right here is flat out false. He \\\'\\\'wasn\\\'t\\\'\\\' playing happily with Fuyumi and Natsuo, he was glaring at Enji dragging Shoto away for training, and when the two of them came by later to invite him, he didn\\\'t want to play with them. His calling Natsuo \\\"Natsuo-kun\\\" is more accurately TermsOfEndangerment, and the flashback showed he \\\'\\\'hated\\\'\\\' Rei and derided her for giving him weak genes.
* MirrorCharacter: Dabi is also one to Shigaraki, both come from wealthy and heroic backgrounds, both had an abusive father, \\\'\\\'\\\'both had close relationships with their siblings\\\'\\\'\\\', both came to hate hero society (for different reasons), and both wish to ultimately destroy the pillars of hero society to prove there are no true heroes.
** This one is more debatable, but still leaning towards false. The only one you can argue he was \\\"close\\\" with was Natsuo, and that \\\"closeness\\\" only seemed to extend to using him as a soundboard for venting as the flashback depicted. Contrast that with Tenko who actually \\\'\\\'was\\\'\\\' close with Hana. If anything, Tomura feels less like a MirrorCharacter to Dabi and more a flat out {{foil}}: loved his mother and sister, killed his father in a moment of passion, his quirk awakening destroyed everything \\\'\\\'but\\\'\\\' him, he wants to destroy Hero Society because thats what AFO made him be meaning he \\\'\\\'is\\\'\\\' actually a successor to his father figure, etc.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: The flashbacks involving the Todoroki\\\'s show him playing with his siblings Fuyumi and Natsuo and the way his family speaks of him \\\'\\\'\\\'indicates Toya was a sweet child that loved his siblings especially his little brother Natsuo.\\\'\\\'\\\' When he was presumed dead Natsuo never forgave their father for Toya\\\'s death.
** That sounds more like UnreliableNarrator, since as the flashback showed, he was \\\'\\\'dismissive\\\'\\\' of Fuyumi when she was concerned about him, he largely only used Natsuo as a soundboard, berated Rei and said it was her fault he couldn\\\'t handle his flames, and if anything he was shown as mentally unhinged even when he was a child, going as far as to attack Shoto in anger while ranting about how Enji lit a fire beneath him, and pretty much mutilating himself out of an obsession with becoming Enji\\\'s successor no matter \\\'\\\'how much\\\'\\\' Enji told him no, even \\\'\\\'begging\\\'\\\' at one point. If anything, he sounds like he had a case of AmbiguousDisorder.
