Tag: dabi is a todoroki

You’re redemption likelihood rating for Dabi made me laugh due to the flashback note. 4/10 or 9/10 is a pretty big difference, but also one that I absolutely agreed with. And I think we all know what the potential for super traumatic flashbacks hinges on. Of course, Horikoshi might not give Touya an especially tragic backstory or make him highly sympathetic, but with how the narrative is going, I doubt it. – cont.

Okay!! While I totally agree that Dabi not being Touya would be an absolute asspull at this point, this message just got me thinking of the silliest situation… Like what if Dabi is NOT Touya, but somehow everyone in the cast, including Shouto, becomes convinced that he IS, and Team Deku is like “We’ll definitely save …

Just How “Weak” is Dabi? (Or: Lots of Thoughts on Marginalization in My Hero Academia)

I got an interesting ask about the way that Dabi relates to his limitations and how the manga repeatedly calls attention to the fact that he is weak, and I think this whole issue is fascinating, so I’m going to try to break down some thoughts on it. If Horikoshi carries through on even half …

So, given Dabi’s perceived incompetence, you think his scars are self inflicted? I figured that, if Dabi is indeed Touya, he must have tried to impress Endeavor and show him that he is “worth it”. So he probably tried to train himself in seclusion. But with a body meant for ice, he was not able to handle the flames and ended up burning himself and running away, traumatized or something along those lines. Admittedly, it could be a stretch, since we have no details on what exactly happened.

Is Dabi Just Terrible at Being a Villain?

I got a couple asks regarding my opinions on BNHA’s villains, especially Dabi, so… Time to engage in Echo’s very favorite game: alternative character interpretation!Look man, I’m not about to go off on a wild conspiracy theory here and suggest that Dabi’s actually a vigilante who has his own agenda that only occasionally overlaps with …
