Fuck whatever Horikoshi said. Touya recovered, dealt with his family issues, and is living his best life.

THIS HAS MY ATTENTION

"Top 10 Assemble" by TOHO Animation (2026)

League Trio - "Concept Necklaces" from the Animal Beach Ball vol.2 series (2026)

Hmmm…I don’t know either or even think the manga hasn’t shown it to us so all we can do is harken a guess as to what it's like.

If we are talking about Touya then based on what we got from snippets in the manga 

Touya is surrounded by his classmates who want to be heroes, this creates pressure on Touya to perform to endeavor expectations in surpassing All Might. Touya has to be a hero too if he isn’t then he would not fit in.

Next, Touya used the same line that Endeavor used but the wording used is different in context transulation said that Touya is adopting the same mindset as Endeavor but this isn’t it. endeavor used the hero as a shield to run away from any responsibility. 

Others would frame this as Touya thinking he needed to be good enough to be included in the world of heroes and be worth anything in his father's eyes.

But if you think about his rant with Natsuo and what he said prior I mentioned that his classmates wanting to be heroes makes Touya feel that he does not fit in because he didn’t match their perception. this line shows how disconnected he is from his classmates because of the fact that they don’t understand what he sees due to his own father. 

What I think based on what I told you before is what Touya is like in school, Touya is seen sitting by himself either reading or studying. If we examine on how Dabi acts in his time at the league he mostly hangs in the background observing his surroundings never engaging with the League at times. 

There is a disconnect between him and his classmates which is largely caused by his home life touya is lonely but he doesn’t know how to interact with others. The trauma that affected Touya in school made him lonely in turn caused him to close himself off and refuse friendship 

In school, people know that Touya is the son of the number 2 hero but don’t approach him due to their different standing. Furthering the loneliness Touya felt.

Touya didn’t seem interested in others he never participated in group activities until someone asked, When Touya does participate he never looks to have fun he joins because he feels that he needs to fulfill out of obligation this is seen when he is invited to play with Natsuo and Fuyumi.

He helps out because he feels he needs to be useful if he wants to fell like he has a place to stay in the group.

I think Touya is popular with girls but he doesn’t know it, he is innocent when it comes to flirting Smash makes reference to that. 

It has been stated Dabi was similar to Todoroki before he enrolled in U.A. so if you considered how Shoto acted in class after he was enrolled that might be similar to how Touya acted.

If she saw Touya suffering it confirms that she saw Enji's mistreatment of their kids but turned a blind eye to it.

This basically confirmed what he told Natsuo the women in the house are complicent in the abuse by doing nothing hence they are useless. 

the follow-up of her advice is hypocritical because she has done the same thing that she told her son not to do and to make matters worse these are the same words that Endeavor used on him before, This both is what Touya called her out on

He calls out on her hypocrisy in her advice,

he questioned the notion of a hero to Natsuo in bed before this proved that Touya at his age was well aware of his circumstances in the household.  

Rei was shocked at how much Touya is aware of the circumstances in the household even pointing out her role in the abuse. 

Touya is right Rei had a hand in this ordeal she chose to do nothing even though she could.

MIND you his biggest thing is hating Enji. Why would he ever want to turn into his father, a man who beat his wife?? Dabi totally has a temper, but he is never laying a hand on you (unless you ask nicely lol).

he'd be super super codependent that it's insane, though. after he finally gives up the whole being stoic and nonchalant and not falling in love, he's totally obsessed even if he tries to hide it bsfr.

jealous. freaks out over anyone you speak to that isnt out of necessity unless its like toga or shigaraki. probably wakes up in the middle of the night bc of nightmares, blood running down his cheeks. he'll lock himself in the bathroom careful not to wake you and stare at himself in the mirror, unblinking, until the tears stop.

THAT'S IT.

I still don't hate Endeavor. Like I said in a previous post, I'm the type that can read Endeavor redemption stories AND Endeavor bashing stories.

But the fact that all that was holding the asshole back from showing up is that he didn't know what to say won't leave my mind for a while. 😑
