I can't tell if you're being serious or not, but that idea sounds very bad fan-ficy. But, yes, the idea that things ultimately turned out better because they didn't act at the time is brought up by Nighteye. And you could say it's just a rationalization on his part and we're not actually supposed to agree, but that's not the impression I got from the scene in question.
Regarding Dabi's burns, they have very clear, almost "clean" borders that makes them being accidental seem unlikely. And that's not even getting into all the piercings.

I like how compared to a lot of scarred evil siblings, Dabi doesn't have just like a minor facial scar or anything like that.
Instead he has burned skin all over his body. Looking at him you can instantly tell that he is a man who has suffered & is disturbed inside.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."Provided Chisaki didn't get him first...or get Deku.
There were a lot of risks in trying to fight him right then and there. Remember what happened to Magne.
Just one touch...just one mistake, and there goes not only One For All, but the only other person besides Deku who was thought worthy of it and a powerful potential hero in his own right.
They made the right choice.
One Strip! One Strip!You can't just kidnap a kid and assume that everything will work out, you know.
Oh God! Natural light!Why did you spoiler that? This isn't the anime only thread, everyone knows the details of what we're talking about.
Anyway, you say it as if the authorities have any context to how her Grandfather got in that condition in the first place.
They wouldn't, and with a lack of overt villain activity, her staying with them instead of foster care or something would still probably be pretty likely.

Considering Deku and Mirio both come to regret not helping Eri and that's their main motivation for the arc, I'm not sure what's even the argument here. All this stuff is explicitly brought up in the story itself.
About Dabi, I think it's possible the family thinks he cremated himself and left no body behind, rather than just dying from burns.
Yeah, and seeing as not helping Eri lead to Chisaki finishing the serum and that serum ending up with someone worse than Chisaki, Mirio getting deQuirked and Nighteye getting killed, I don't think Horikoshi meant for "letting the little girl go back to a clearly abusive 'parent'" to be the right decision there.
With hindsight, picking Eri up and running would have been the right move, but at the time her importance wasn't clear, and they were scared that doing that would jeopardise the mission.
So they hesitated, and Overhaul took that opportunity to coerce Eri into coming back to him, at which point there was nothing they could do.
Of course, that hinges upon them willingly entering a dark alley with someone that 1) they know is super dangerous 2) is obviously mistreating the child that has run into them and is currently clinging to them for dear life.
It's possible that certain services work differently in Japan, wasn't their suspicion enough that they could try to get the police involved? Take her to a hospital? Whatever the Japanese equivalent of Child Protective Services is?
It's really a case of Audience Awareness Advantage and hindsight being 20/20. Yeah, from the perspective of someone out of universe who knows more about Overhaul and how the story is likely to turn out it can be argued that grabbing her and running would've been a good idea, but Deku and Mirio aren't that well informed and had no way of coming to that conclusion with what intel they had.
There's also the fact that technically both of them are still provisional heroes, and we know that the setting has some pretty persnickety rules about exactly when heroes are allowed to get involved in the first place, meaning that even if grabbing Eri would've been the best thing to do from a pragmatic perspective, from a legal perspective doing so without sufficient cause could've screwed up the whole case against Overhaul. It was a screwed up situation where neither option was particularly ideal.
And that's without even getting into the fact that Overhaul could've oneshotted either or both of them if they weren't super careful.
Reaction Image Repository
x3 The bandages on her arms would be a dead giveaway for a cop. Then again while Overhaul isn’t like super quick, his reaction speed is impressive.
x8 just wanted to be safe than sorry.
x2 Fair point, especially given the legal issues that happened after Dekuroki and Iida fought Stain
Regardless of how you look it at, either scenario has risks and rewards.I was just considering best case scenario then.
Reading the official English chapter I noticed something I'd missed the first time around. A surprised Face Fault from Shoto after he found out Natsu cooked.
Also, Natsu said Shoto might not have been allowed to eat his cooking because it was too rich. Can't remember offhand if the fan translations covered it that way.
Also some Bakugo hilarity:
Bakugo: YER NOT S'POSED TO EXPOSE YOUR DIRTY LAUNDRY TO GUESTS!! Also, any more dishes to wash?!
He's such a good and bad guest at the same time. At the same time, you know your manners are bad when Bakugo has to lecture you.
Given how he acts in the most recent chapter I'm wondering if Endeavor isn't trying to apologize because he doesn't expect his family to forgive him if he does.
Bewitching EyesThink its a combination of that and feeling like that his family would be much happier if he wasn't around. So...I think he's approaching Death Seeker territory and feels the only way he can atone is if he sacrifices himself.
Makes sense too after Shoto gave him a reality check a few chapters ago after he felt like he was making progress with him.
A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.

They had no way of knowing that.
Lemillion was sticking to the plan as ordered by their boss.
I mean, Overhaul went to lead them to their deaths at the earliest possibility (though mostly because Deku forced the issue), so it's a good thing things ended the way they did at that time. Anything else likely would have ended in their deaths, and a blown case.
