#chapter290

I know Endeavor was a very sh!tty father and I'm not surprised Dabi wants revenge but I felt bad for Shoto. He's just... stuck in the middle of this family mess.

Dabi first plan was to kill Shoto when he had became a successful pro hero, just imagine, crushing his father's precious son. It wasn't a bad idea tho, but Dabi didn't consider Shoto's experience with their father. He's just as traumatized as his big brother (i know, they had different experiences but still trauma), he struggled with his fire side until deku's intervention at the Sports Festival. And he's still struggling but not as much as he did before.

Maybe Dabi thinks Shoto simply follows whatever Endeavor says, that he wants to please his father or to be like him because he hadn't rebelled against him. However we all damn well know that not using his father's quirk was his way to pissed him off.

So yeah, I hope Shoto has a say in this family reunion because he deserves Touya's understanding. And, well, everyones understanding since Endeavor has been exposed by Dabi.

I can't imagine what he must be feeling rn

people, this is one of the first cannon times we’ve seen todoroki CRY. Its the first CLEAR time we’ve seen him shed a tear, and the first time he’s legitimately sobbing. Sure im a villain stan but HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK???? The ammount of emotional truama he’s gonna have from this is astronomicly high, im talking he will probably need a therapist (not like he didnt already need one).  OUR STOIC BOY FINNALY BROKE

throughout these panels, shoto is on the verge of tears/holding back tears because the brother who he thought died is still alive and is now a villain. THE ONLY OTHER TIMES WE’VE SEEN HIM THIS DISTRAUGHT WAS WHEN HE COULDNT GRAB BAKUGO IN TIME DURING THE FOREST CAMP ARC AND WHEN HE WAS FIGHTING MIDORYA AT THE SPORTS FESTIVAL AND YET THIS IS THE MOST EMOTIONAL WE’VE SEEN HIM 

the fact that horikoshi decided to show shoto’s reaction means he intended for this to affect enji and him, not just endeavor

even cant-ya-see-kun is fucking crying. 

sure, he initially denies this, but after the presentation of hawks’s crimes (as shown below)

He realizes that dabi is speaking the truth. The broadcasting of hawks affects others aswell, such as tokoyami realizing the misdeads of his mentor. the look on the bird man’s face broke me. YOU CAN SEE THE SHOCK AND POSSIBLE REGRET IN HIS EYES. HE’S WONDERING WETHER OR NOT HE SHOULD’VE LEFT HAWKS THERE

AND THEN, AFTER HORIKOSHI BREAKS OUR HEARTS WITH THAT< HE THROWS ANOTHER PUNCH WITH:

hawks is the son of a villain? no wonder dabi knew his name! and thats not it! theres more shit that i can garentee you will be relevent for all of time, but i dont have enough energy to analyze the whole thing, so lets do a quick update on everyone: todoroki shoto: crying bakugo katsuki: alive midorya izuku: out of commision for now iida tenya: carryng bakugo hado nejire: most likely going to be killed off hawks/takami keigo: in critical condition tokoyami fumigage: shocked endeavor/todoroki enji: CAREER FUCKING DESTROYED dabi/todoroki touya: revenge time twice/bubaigawara jin : still dead :( cant-ya-see-kun/tameda hiroshi: distraught because he had once supported an asshole todoroki rei: shocked best jeanist/hakamada tsunagu: ALIVE AND HERE TO SAVE THE DAY

I JUST SCREAMED MY LONGEST YEAAAHH BOI EVER LMAO. YYYESYYSYYEYSS YESY YES FUCK YESS.. LMAO The match is FINALLY OVER, but most importantly.... KARASUNO FUCKING WON, YES FUCCKK YES. Man WHAT A GAME. Damn, I can already tell this is going to be the best match of Haikyuu once it gets animated, although I have a feeling as they go against better, and better competitors that will keep happening. I SCREECHED WHEN I SAW DAICHI SWOOP IN AFTER TSUKKI. He probably knew Tsukki was getting tired and was right there behind him to cover him, BUT DAMN HIS REFLEXES AND ABILITY TO DIVE (that shit is not easy, because the ball falls in a split second).  KDSJFAKJDFLKA THAT SCENE, I was so happy and sad to have Daichi, sad knowing he and the other third years won’t be there anymore after next year kdjfakdsfjkladjflajldf.a 

AND MAN. OH MAN, DID YOU SEE THAT BLOCK. I WAS BEGGING FOR SOMEONE TO BLOCK THE ATSUMU’S QUICK AND BOTH HINATA AND KAGEYAMA WERE THERE. GOOOSHH THEY’RE COMPREHENSION OF THE GAME HAS IMPROVED SO MUCH. They knew that it was coming down to the last straw, and other team would pull out things that hadn’t been done or use yet to throw off their competitors.... both Hinata and Kageyama knew. LIKE DAMN. I don’t think I can get over how they can understand what’s going to happen by taking in their surroundings in a literal split second..... unbelievable. I’m envious of those athletes and their ability to act on what they see in such a fast manner kadsfjajldsf.

BUT OH MY GOOOOSSHH, IM SO PROUD RIGHT NOW. THEY WON, FINALLY... THE MATCH IS DONE. AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS..... THE FUCKING BATTLE OF THE GARBAGE DUMP IS HAPPENING NEXT. kadsjfkajdkfljaldf I’m going to struggle to watch/read this match just because this is the first time we’re getting a match with two teams that are truly painted as the “good guys” in the sense that will know all of the members very well. I also love Nekoma a lot......:( Also this time around, we’ve been expecting them to reach this point, and it’s what since the beginning of the series has been painted as the goal. Because of that, I’ve expected Karasuno to win each and every game to get to that point. Now that they’ve reached it, I don’t know whether Karasuno will actually be able to pull away with a win this time.
