Dabi revealing Endeavor’s abuse is so much bigger than the Todoroki family
He’s revealing that a man who was torturing his children was able to become number two hero.
He’s revealing that the man who did this was able to hide it from the public with next to no effort.
He’s revealing that there were absolutely no measures in place that would have prevented this from happening. No one at the HPSC thought to check in with the families of individuals as powerful as Endeavor
No one thought to do an investigation after Rei’s mental breakdown and Shoto was burned
No one thought it was suspicious that Touya died soon after
No one took notice of how Shoto was reluctant to use his fire in the sports festival, not even the school staff that works closely with Endeavor.
Because no one in this hero society doubts the heroes’ moral integrity. The citizens of Japan simply don’t perceive it as a possibility that their heroes could do such evil selfish things under their own noses and still succeed.
Endeavor is genuinely good at his job, he’s talented and hardworking. So of course no one expected this of him, the people of Japan put him on a pedestal with All Might and every other hero.
By exposing Endeavor, Dabi is exposing the whole of hero society. He’s exposing the rampant hero worship of this society. He’s exposing the incompetence of the HPSC. He’s exposing the heroes who have done evil selfish things much like Endeavor. He’s exposing the media for painting heroes as perfect and flawless. He’s exposing every single citizen that saw him and his family’s pain and ignored their cries for help.
Obviously this is gonna negatively effect the other members of the Todoroki family. I’m not saying he’s entirely in the right in the way he went about doing this. Obviously killing people is wrong. Obviously Rei is gonna lose a lot of progress. Obviously Natsuo, Fuyumi, and Shouto are gonna be meet with a lot of negative attention from the public and the people around them, etc.
But Dabi is doing something that has the potential to change so much, and I’m tired of people whining about the interpersonal drama of the Todoroki family when what he’s doing is so, so much bigger than that.
