These aren't real people. The author can literally have Endeavor confess and step down with no ill effect on his family. And more importantly that sends a message of contrition and sacrifice to *the reader*. Hero without the number one title is probably the best outcome for Endeavor, as it illustrates his changed focus.
True, but I believe Horikoshi is trying to have a more realistic approach to this plotline.
The realistic approach, statistically, is the abuser who achieves all his objectives with no consequences continues to abuse. But that's neither here nor there, because again they're not real.
I guess future Japan journalist are super respectful of privacy
Even if isn't and it probably wasn't
I dont see how people would make the connection that Endeavor is an abuser from that, at maximum they would think Rei was the one responsible for what Shoto suffered and not Endeavor. Endeavor also doesnt appear much in the media so I wouldnt be surprised if they know little about the family, deku is a hero nerd and he didnt know that Shoto was Endeavor's son, that isnt unrealistic for japan. The family of famous people usually arent known iirc.
Just because the abuser wanting to atone isnt common doesnt mean you can't approach that in a realistic way
That isnt future japan, that is what happens in Japan nowadays. You are thinking this with a US centric view.
Yeah going by Toya= Dabi more than likely he either was just assumed dead and was able to either find a back alley doctor or was in the emergency room and left before he could be identified
When it was revealed Mirio was a potential candidate for OfA I noticed people got really defensive, when Mirio was universally liked before then. Like, they felt the need to drag Mirio in order to prop up Deku.
I'm not just talking about today, he probably only brought it up now because of the original debate that was being had about it in the anime thread a couple weeks ago
It isnt any different from what some Mirio fans do with Deku, including in this thread.
His plans would stop, but he could always put them on hold to come up with a strategy or get enough forces to get her back. I don't see how him going into hiding, even without Eri, isn't a bad thing.
It totally ignores that her identity is probably not known by the general public.
Hindsight is 20/20, it's easy to tell someone "you should have done this" after the fact. Mirio regrets his actions, but taking on a guy who can obliterate anyone he touches in the middle of a city, with no backup, is a poor decision, even if you think you can take him. Some heroes had the confidence, quirk, and/or experience to pull it off successfully, but two trainee students could have screwed it up in that situation and made everything way worse.
anyway I thought this couple was filler
but rereading the chapter apparently they were there the whole time.
That's a good point. Even his friendship with Shoto doesn't interest me that much cause it's pretty typical of his friendships in general, with the sole exception being Bakugo for obvious reasons. I find Bakugo and Todoroki's friendship to be way more interesting because of their dynamic and contrasting personalities.
The narrative hook is he working to unlock black whip and his friendship with Todoroki. Also, just with his statement in the last chapter, he added more to the narrative than Bakugo so far.
I completely disagree, Bakugo and Todoroki's "friendship", if you can even call that, is just a joke, what makes it is more interesting than Deku and Todoroki's? Deku and Todoroki's friendship is much better developed and deep and has much more impact on the narrative as we can see in this chapter.
Just because Deku isnt a loud character or gag character doesnt mean he isnt interesting. Deku proved in the school festival and again in this chapter that he is someone that push Todoroki forward emotionally wise. Moments like deku hesitating but saying anyway what he thinks about the situation makes me appreciate him a lot and frankly I cant understand why some people think he isnt necessary, he is the what drives most characters in this manga and without him most of them wouldnt change.
That's perfectly fine, I'd be surprised if only a few people agreed with you. Like I said in my post, I find Bakugo and Todoroki's friendship fun and more interesting because of their contrasting personalities. We have Bakugo who is abbrasive and ill-mannered yet is respectful enough towards Shoto (because he learned about his past) to hold back his taunts during the remedial lessons arc. Deku's friendship with Todoroki is simple, it's a great friendship where they both care for each other and have an impact in each other's lives. It's straightforward and good. I like it, but I don't find it that interesting. It's similar to Deku's friendship with most of his peers. It's common.
That's true. Nobody's arguing that.
I would be baffled as well if anyone felt this way, though I suppose I wouldn't be too surprised given how everyone is different and may find all sorts of different things interesting and/or unappealing.
I agree. Todoroki and Bakugo is more interesting because of how fun it is
dont understand howy you reached that conclusion when the whole plot is forgiveness and redemption and will most likely end up being a happy recovered family situation at the end of the day, Enji's already showed some change, so to say he cant be there seems to imply that he shouldn't have been making any effort at all. He's clearly motivated to change.. Enji's not going to give up on his dream of a a somewhat rebuilt family. Quite sure his dream/nightmare is anxiety driven and not a premonition.
Mirio was giving Chisaki a really hard time before his quirk got erased
Bakugo and Todoroki barely interact, whichis odd in hindsight because they've been together more than Deku and Todoroki. "Friendship" is saying a while lot over what's actually there.
They had that whole provisional license classes thing together, but we only caught the very very tail end of that on panel. Wouldn't exactly be out of character for either of them to not have taken the opportunity to socialize much during that, though.
