[up]Considering that Natsu and Fuyumi's problem is how much he ignored them and made them feel worthless, that seems counterproductive.

[up][up][up]Yeah. It's same thing here with people considering Bakugo and Endeavor worse than Stain. Many people are familiar with the experience of having a bully or an abusive father, far fewer are the same with having a loved one murdered or crippled by a serial killer.

Shoto has been somewhat more open to communication than, say, Natsu. Plus, part of the issue, with Natsu and Fuyumi, at least, was his absence and neglect. I could see his logic in trying to be more involved as a way to make up for that.

[nja] by [up][up]

[up] Now there's a thought. Someone who can stand Bakugo and Endeavor fine, but can't get over how much fanboyism Stain receives because he lost a relative to someone like Jeffrey Dahmer or Richard Ramirez.

@ LSBK

Exactly.Some folks don't understand redemption is not forgiveness. Forgiveness is something you give to anothe, redemption is something you give to yourself. Folks who go into prison can come out better people but do their victims ever forgive them? Maybe not but that doesn't stop the ex-con from having turned their life around.

Fuyumi at least actually seems to want to spend more time with Endeavor. I mean, she's a grown woman with a fulltime job, if she didn't want to live at home, she could probably just leave.

Natsuo is different, but he's also a college student and according to Fuyumi rarely comes to visit (though he apparently keeps in touch).

Plus he has been respecting the boundaries of Rei, who explicitly does not feel comfortable seeing him.

I still find it kind of sadly amusing that because he "just" neglected and ignored Fuyumi and Natsuo they turned out the most well adjusted compared. Compared to Shoto and Not!Dabi.

A rare "win" for the middle children.

I still think it's rather ironic that the sibling who is the most openly hostile to his father is the one who (aside from hair color) has the strongest physical resemblance to him.

The Todoroki family is a goldmine for sitcom drama.

It be the Japanese superhero version of Mom if only for Shouto to grow up a wreck & traumatize his kids just like daddy. tongue

[up][up][up]I'm sure that's intentional.

Re: him and Rei reconciling, I'm not totally sure how I'd feel about that, but I could see it happening. From the way the storyline has been handled so far, I don't think it would be handled badly, but I'd probably still prefer it if they came to peace with one another, while also acknowledging it best that they part ways.

Kinda reminds me of Gundam SEED. There the main villain wears a mask because he's a clone of his horribly abusive "father." So he sees his abuser every time he looks in the mirror. Could throw in Miranda from Mass Effect 2 as well, although I hesitate to all her a villain.

I suspect Dabi looking like his father would be just an added source of anger, a constant reminder of all teh bad things.

[up]They weren't talking about Dabi, but Shoto's other older brother.

I'm curious what Hawks would think of the Todoroki family drama. Especially considering he's been a fan of Endeavor since he was little.

It's likely that Dabi's going to try to induce a real Face–Heel Turn by breaking Endeavor's pedestal for Hawks. But I think that Hawks would give Endy a chance to show that he's changed.

[up][up] Fair enough. I'm horrible at telling if two characters look alike.

[up][up][up][up] I recently re-listened to an episode of Black Jack Justice that did something like that. A woman tried to do a Twin Switch to fake making up with her estranged sister so when she was missed she wouldn't be suspected despite having been the one who killed her. Jack's Private Eye Monologue suggests that seeing her betrayer's face in the mirror every day may have been why she couldn't let go of the grudge.

But speaking of characters looking alike, I do think that Dabi and Shoto favor each other. And intern they plus Fuyumi favor Rei.

I think that, while Endeavour wants to make up for all the bad shit he's done, he doesn't really know how and at some level knows it might not even be possible.

The important thing is that he's trying, even if his family never forgives him, he knows he fucked up and knows trying to fix it is the best course of action.

Re Endeavor trying to connect with his other children: Natsuo's made it clear he wants nothing to do with him. I imagine he's in contact with Fuyumi tho.

Natsuo is going to have to learn to tolerate him whether he likes it or not, especially if Fuyumi and Shouto start opening up to him.

On another note, I'm really glad Iida has managed to stay in the Top 10 for so long despite his decreased prominence. I feared he'd be forgotten after Hori hadn't really done much with him lately.

Oh btw, Mirio was 26, so hey, he jumped from 14 spots at least.

Spoiler images are out, now we have Setsuna's Quirk shown too, so for those who are wondering: She can detach and control any part of her body. Literally any it seems. And Togaru Kamakiri can make giant knives from his arms.

I honestly didn't think that'd be it since you'd think a full body costume would work against it.

#25574: Nov 22nd 2018 at 7:13:25 AM

[up] Her costume seems to be made of scales, so presumably it can break off along with her body parts.

#25575: Nov 22nd 2018 at 7:14:48 AM

Since her hero costume appears to be made of scales, it might be designed to split apart easily.

Also, this is easily the Quirk with the most perverted potential that we've seen from both classes.
