Thing is, I'm not even sure where the flowers thing is coming from.

Dunno if it's something the leaker said, something said in the scanned panels or just a straight up invention by Dabi fanatics. I've not found anything remotely related to that yet.

After the shitshow about Uraraka in 289, I have no faith in the fandom.

They are most likely inventing shit and setting themselves for unnecessary disappointment.

I think they are misunderstanding a couple panels. Enji sent her the flowers bout Touya sent her a video or video chat of him admitting who he is.

Poor Rei.

Its rather obvious it was made up to make Dabi seem more sympathetic than he is being here.

There's a full summary out, no mention of flowers at all.

I feel like the Itachi fandom really has moved here.

He didn't sent her a video either. TV got hijacked. This is clearly what Skeptic has been working at.

From the scans I'm finding it sounds like he's trying to pin the blame for what he's become solely at Endeavor's feet.

HA HA HA—No. I don't care what you suffered Toya, you are not laying the blame for the deaths of 30 innocent people on the feet of an admittedly abusive father and shifting the blame to him. Shoto is right there and almost suffered as much as you did, if not just as much, and you don't see him turning into a mass murdering psychopath. Especially when you are reveling in the slaughter and mayhem right now while proclaiming proudly you follow "The Will of Stain".

The reason I can sympathize with people like Toga or Jin is because, in spite of all they've done, they at least own up to it and make clear they have certain lines they won't cross. They don't try to claim moral superiority or act like they're better than other people, they just engaged in gleeful hedonistic pleasure.

Toya meanwhile, while it's unclear if he's being sincere or just doing this to torment Endeavor, is passing the buck onto Endeavor and using his tragedy to justify his issues. Toga and Jin never used their tragedies to justify their actions, hell Toga killed Curious for trying to martyr her over said tragedy and Twice attacked Hawks for trying to make him betray the others since Hawks considered him "good". They do the things they do cause they have embraced who they are. And that's what makes them truly tragic. The fact they believe this is who they genuinely are and the things they experienced very few if anyone could relate too, yet they don't use it to justify their behavior.

Yet Toya here is not only laying the blame at Endeavor's feet, he is openly reveling in it and still doing this shit regardless. It's this kind of sanctimonious self-righteous bullcrap that I can't stand in antagonists like Stain and Toya. If you are gonna do shit, own up to it. Don't pass the blame to others.

Touya can be sincere here and still completely revel in what he's doing, they're not mutually exclusive.

Also Rei was close to being discharged from the hospital before this happened.

Edit: OH it seems Japan isn't happy with the leaks given they trended in the US.

[up][up]That's kinda my point. You don't get to blame the slaughter of innocents on others when you are reveling in causing said slaughter.

[up]I fear how Fuyumi & Natsuo will react to this too.

I'm surprised they aren't shown watching TV and reacting in this chapter too. Maybe they are and the leakers just didn't mention them.

I doubt Fuyumi, Natsuo, and Rei are going to take this well.

By the way, if you thought people would lose sympathy for Dabi then you are sadly mistaken

[up]Oh I am on a Discord server that stans Dabi and Shigaraki. I have seen some of them still stanning Dabi.

Some Dabi fans are commenting on how awful it was to do this to Rei though.

I can't believe people are still acting like he has the moral high ground over Endeavor.

They've both done terrible things, but only one of them is trying to be a better person.

As I said before, Dabi is literally a school shooter - one of the first things we see him do is attack a classroom full of children - of the most archetypal kind.

he even wears a fuckin trenchcoat, for fucks sake

Once again, apparently it's okay if you're a mass murderer so long as daddy hit you a lot. And if you ever abused you're family you deserve to rot in hell regardless of if you're trying to atone. By god do I hate Fan Dumb. This is reaching Black-and-White Insanity levels. And you just know there are people gonna be calling for Horikoshi's head if Dabi gets killed and treated like a monster rather than whitewashed like they want.

Its because people blame Endeavor for pushing him to this. In other words, they're buying into his bullshit.

I feel bad for Shoto though; just when he was finally learning to reaffirm his own identity, Dabi/Touya comes in to throw everything out of whack. Now everyone is going to wonder if he'll turn out like Enji and Touya.

And of course there are people who will do the same to Natsuo and Fuyumi just for being related to them.

Hell, why stop there?! Bakugo already had people thinking he'd join the League In-Universe after the Sports Festival, next thing they'll claim he's a lot like Endeavor and say he's a threat too!

We're probably gonna be having Draco in Leather Pants and Ron the Death Eater In-Universe!

I do wonder if Dabi had some Af O equivalent as a parental figure after whatever happened to him.

Incidentally, this is 100 chapters after Dabi revealed himself to Endeavor.

Ya know there's something amusing how Dabi spent most of the series as the stoic, where aside from the occasional smirk and grin, he presented himself as somewhat of an unemotional uncaring psychopath.

But now with this arc he is letting loose all the passion, going full ham and making the most deranged facial expressions he can. He really is a fucking psychopath.

The best posible result is Shoto reafirming himself as being better than that. He is an walking "fuck you" to Touya, after all.
