DABI'S BIGGEST SECRET REVEALED! ALL FOR ONE'S SON!? - My Hero Academia Chapter 350

[@franciscopedraza7534]

If you think about it, Dabi was not only seen as a failure by his father, but he was called a failure by a man who was viewed as a savior by other villains. Essentially being rejected by both heroes and villains, making him a complete reject, which is tragic.

[@mesiagamer5217]

And a man that wanted to watch everything burn.

[@Cs-cp6vo]

Gives his disregard for his own life an even deeper meaning

[@jase276]

Let's not get carried away, Endevour reiterated to Dabi multiple times that he wasn't a failure. Dabi just convinced himself that he was because he couldn't reach what Endevour wanted him to. He even attacked his newborn brother, ffs. He could've become a hero, that wasn't enough for him, though. He wanted to become a better hero than his father. The #1 hero. And there lies the tragic start to his story.

[@franciscopedraza7534]

@@jase276 I understand what you're saying, and I mostly agree with you. Don't get me wrong, but let's face facts, Endeavor only went into a straight marriage for the purpose of having a son with fire and ice powers, not to be a family man with kids. If Dabi was born with a F&I quirk he wouldn't have continued having kids, and the fact that Endeavor continued until Shoto was born with F&I powers and gave him more attention. His actions spoke louder than his words, so whether he knew it or not, having another kid to reroute his efforts into tells Touya he's not good enough.

[@imapotato1045]

This is a whole new meaning to life is unfair, this life that Dabi is just pure suffering, I hope that it comes to stop and he gets better, but I feel like he's gonna end up dying by using his quark too much.

[@karimdiakite8512]

The Todoroki/Dabi family storyline has always been the most compelling thing in MHA for me , Touya keeps climbing as possibly the saddest backstory in the show . His first instinct when waking up was to go apologize to his family… PAIN man… 😭

Horikoshi woke up and chose pain and I bet he’s crying right now writing these and fleshing these chapters out. Dabi deserved so much better than the hand he was dealt.

[@ph3rtehHDawg]

Looking back at when he was reminiscing about Snatch's last words to Dabi ("Have you ever thought about the feelings of those your victims left behind?") and his response was his bleeding tear ducts and saying "I've thought about it so much that I've gone crazy." I wonder if Dabi was thinking about the first victim of his fires: himself as Touya. And the feelings of his family: nothing changed except for an alter in one room and a new victim of abuse in the next. It probably would drive one crazy seeing that even their own 'death' couldn't change their father into a better person.

[@bessieburnet9816]

@Alexandria That alone is why the actual redemption of Endeavour now is bogus. It wasn't even set in motion because he felt bad, it was set on that path as a means to be a better hero. Endeavour should be rotting in jail.

[@djantouahmed7319]

He wasn't reminiscing Snatch's words. Endeavor mentioned Snatch's death to Dabi, but Dabi didn't remember him. So he thought about it all day trying to remember who was Snatch, before having the blood tear.

[@jase276]

He didn't care about his father becoming a better person, he wanted recognition. He was angry they moved on

Dabi has been shown to be a reference to *Frankenstein's monster* narratively in this chapter and even visually in pro hero arc when he goes to meet Endeavor. He does the monster pose with his hands in ch 191, which seems to be a homage to an image exactly like that with Frankenstein's monster.

[@raec5426]

We saw from the first war - Dabi felt angered towards Hawks when he said Twice was the biggest threat in the League of Villains for Hawks to deal with instead of him (said he should have been watching him). All he wanted in life was recognition, to be the first at something, to not be overlooked in general. Yet he always ends up in someone's else shadow. Like with Endeavor having Shoto as the prized son (as a child Toya told Endeavor to look at him). And now we see he was a potential back up plan for AFO too.

I've always been way more invested in dabi than AFO and whatnot, glad that this chapter was an absolute ripper, seriously one of the top 5 chapters in MHA for a Villain or the whole series

[@lerneanlion]

If all of the children in All For One's "personal collection" became the League of Villains instead of what we got in canon, it will be more awesome for sure because the idea of them becoming what could the students of Class 1-A have become would be too great to ignore! Heck, they may even come across the reformation preached by the Peerless Thief somehow and used that as the justification for their war against the heroes and the society that ditched them behind. But man, Kurogiri might went Moondrop if he had to take care of all them at once along with Shigaraki and Dabi!

[@lordpvt]

[@cashouttbready6529]

That symbolism of him paying his respect to his old self is cold . I honestly respect Dabi a bit more even now after this chapter, he maybe was a bit obsessive but that was honestly just his love & loyalty to his father , He even knew he was nothing more than a pawn to his father at first & he still tried to find reason to believe him then just finally just couldn’t deal with it anymore , he came to terms for what he was . He’s now just a avenger Sb : a army of super powerful children vs Ua would’ve definitely been a vibe . A lot of casualties for sure .

[@InvestedGman]

Man I really feel even more sorry for Dabi/Touya now after for what Endeavor has done to him and the rest of his own family, I know he's still trying to get his redemption arc done but what he did and caused was horribly unforgivable, this is seriously giving me some Azula vibes from Avatar with her father ozai but Man this is insane but that still doesn't have justifies his actions of being a killer arsonist especially now.

[@cypherbrittainnethegodofsl4988]

IMO "Niji" (Rainbow) by Shinkuhorou fits him. It's used as Naruto Shippuden ending 28, and IMO the lyrics fits Touya's life, from being a nice and happy kid to whatever he is today. One of them is "I get it, no one but I will cross the sky full of rainbows".

[@turkepic3637]

Personally Endevour seemed to actually care for Touya , but he also suffered a lot. That still doesn't justify what he did to Shoto , but thinking his redemption has been going on for soo long and naturally and seeing him try , I'd say he won me over.

This was a great chapter finally. When it comes to the villains, it’s always good. This really made me feel bad for Touya and what he went through while giving more emphasis on AFO being even more monstrous. Considering how he’s using his flames, Touya may not survive in the end.

I think Dabi's power is actually phoenix flames, or that not only do emotions effect the temperature of his flames, but also the property of them. By that, I think that his flames are destructive when he's angry, or in despair, but if he's happy and full of love they will heal. Endeavour, or possible the entire family will likely embrace Dabi when he tries to self destruct with his flames, willing to burn up with him, which will in turn reveal the true abilities of his flames.

Man. I seriously need to know how AFO knows how these kids are the ONES. The fact his hat is on gives more connection to the man who visited the Shimura home before the slaughter of the family. Giving more reason to think he did in fact give decay to Shigaraki. I also need to bring up a detail NO ONE talks about. The 5th new hand he was given after killing the alcoholic shits that beat him for sitting there. It appeared out of NO WHERE. And we just accepted it was there. That hand HAS to be Nana’s. If decay was used to kill Nana, and then given to Tenko, HOLY HELL. Dabi was out for 3 years. Covered in burns from the bottom up. And just TRULY incinerated. And that shot of AFO appearing before him and then talking through the blank TV with the doctor like in season 1 and 2. A hospital of children so full of resentment. But his life lasted WAY longer than AFO and the Doctor predicted after they let him loose to fall apart. I’m thinking Dabi received other quirks. And it reflects like All-Might’s opinion of Shoto. Had I given him OFA, he would’ve been unstoppable. Dabi was the same. But there HAS to be something more to his longevity we don’t know. I thought Dabi would use the ice to survive but cause even worse skin damage. Which WOULD still fit considering he looks WAY worse than his initial surgery. (Which would also be bad due to growing but then it shouldn’t STILL be on him.) Goes to show what happens when the grooming process for an AFO child starts late though. He was going to go right back, apologize and try AGAIN to learn from Endeavor. I think he really did understand Endeavor did love him. I need more context on how this is going to go further. There’s a LOT here to analyze but without further context, all I know is the Zuko vs Azula fight is gonna be happening for the next few chapters. And I STILL think that ice is coming. And maybe even more now.

And at the same time being an undying symbol of his father's failures, forever torturing him with the visage of the son he destroyed and being a ghost of his past unable to die and the more he destroys in general, the more of his father's legacy is destroyed and the more the idea of heroes goes along with it But this is more of a fanfic/musing idea than anything serious

What if it turns out Dabi’s a half nomu and has a secret extra quirk that he’s been keep as a trump card which is also why his quirk hasn’t killed him yet? Because the main purpose of nomus is creating a humanoid with multiple quirks

[@Warmsunny]

It makes me sad how he’s killing himself by burning his body with his quirk

[@JG-fz1zg]

Unfortunately, he wants to die. It's definitely sad to think like that, even if it's a fictional character.

10:10 dude class 1-A haven't even fought the best villains out there yet and they are boned down, this is going to be too much

[@Rjay0922]

Deku is the only one that takes out the most villains of all Class 1-A but Dynamight, Shoto, Uravity & Froppy will keep up with him cause they’re fighting against their opponents Tomura Shigaraki, Dabi & Himiko Toga with Twice’s Blood & as for Ingenium if Hero Killer: Stain is at Kamino he will fight him & Tsukuyomi will be with the Pro Heroes to take down Nomus (Near High-Ends) & the armies of Paranormal Liberation Front/League of Villains while Endeavor & Hawks fight against All For One & the rest of Class 1-A will fight the armies of Paranormal Liberation Front/League of Villains & Spinner I don’t know who will fight him my guess is either Red Riot & Pinky

[@spakermanplays2much]

@@Rjay0922 i'm kinda guessing Stain himself will be up against Spinner for being a wannabe

[@Rjay0922]

Yeah that could be possible Stain vs Spinner but what about Ingenium finds Stain after his fight against Spinner and then Ingenium will have his rematch against Stain for still wanting his revenge about his brother and learns that he escapes from prison and he will battle him by himself this time without needing Deku & Shoto help like the Hosu City Incident

[@rangodeldiablo]

So it wasn't so much his body that was burning, but rather his skin. His original skin could not handle the heat of his quirk.

[@Rjay0922]

10:00-10:08 For Class 1-A new Super Moves coming from Second War I would say Deku is Faux 100%: Air Force, New York Smash & United States of World Smash, Dynamight is Cluster: Explosive Force & AP Shot: Bazooka, Shoto is Flashfire Heatfist, Uravity is Zero Impact Whip & Counter Fist, Ingenium is Rocket Charge & Froppy is Froppy Hopper

[@mitchellshuttleworth3204]

On the subject of those possible All For One candidate kids, I had a similar thought. It mostly revolved around Dabi as the true heir of the Demon Lord instead of Tomura, but now with this chapter it all makes things more interesting. Imagine in an AU where Dabi didn't burn down the (for lack of a better word) "Orphanage"/"daycare of evil", he could have grown up with these similarly abandoned and rejected children and started seeing them the family he's always wanted. Find meaning and belonging in these people. All For One could be the father he never had, encouraging him to use his power for what it was worth and not squander it. Maybe depending on how much they achieved or good behavior, All For One could give his "children" a Quirk as a reward, Dabi gets Tomura's Quirk for example or a regeneration power to help reduce damage. Then over time Dabi could become sorta a leader among the kids like the ultimate big brother who looks after his family. I actually love Plot's suggestions for having a team made up of successor candidates, the children who grown up with these insane quirks and who are as intelligent as All For One himself, all lead by Big Brother Dabi (Dabi Aniki for the weebs like me). They could be like the Knights of Ren or the Sinister Six, an elite shock trooper force among their father's army. Pretty interesting stuff, am I right?

[@emilylee9568]

I think those orphan kids all got turned into Noumu.

[@briannalee1998]

10:41 I love that idea, too. Maybe all those potential AFO vessels didn't die? Though it might be too late to develop new villains.

[@Whatsup_Abroad]

Daniel looks like a freaking beast right there. A rotting corpse, more spirit than man manipulated by flames born of his own madness hatred and despair. A walking nuclear fire ready to be seen by the world at any cost to prove his life had meaning. Fucking sick

[@NightmareX7288]

Just imagine if dabi hade a healing quirk this man would actually be a demon

[@jamarcusdavis4023]

Given that All For One is currently facing off against Endeavor, I would like to see All For One engage in some psychological warfare, maybe try to trip him up by constantly bringing up his treatment of Dabi and his family. Speaking of Dabi, there's no way I can see Dabi surviving by the end of the series. Not with the way he's recklessly abusing his Quirk.

[@griffinmietzner]

I noticed a connection between Dabi and Number 6 with the latest chapters of MHA and MHA Vigilantes… they both are set on their own self-destruction just to at least leave a mark on the world. Wonder if there’s more to it?

[@cypherbrittainnethegodofsl4988]

I imagine if the anime reached this point in the future, the anime ending would be like Naruto Shippuden ending 28, where it focused on Touya and on how he started as a bright child and to whatever he is today. I recommend y'all to check out Naruto Shippuden ending 28, or "Niji" by Shinkuhorou

[@That_One_Gaming_Guy]

The Villain Academia (ran by The league and MLF) versus The Hero Academia (ran by Nezu) Yeah that'll be fire!

[@supersaiyanbolt3594]

Its intersting to see how Overhaul also woke up in AFO's Villian Daycare service. Even though Dabi essentially killed most of the Demon King saplings there, I wouldnt be surpised if there were others . I doubt MHA will continue that much after Shigarki/AFO are gone , but it would be interesting to see if any other Demon King saplings rise up and continue where AFO left off.

The Todoroki story is easily my favourite thing about MHA rn. Dabi has been my favourite for a long while They just do villains soo well in this manga. I’d go as far to say Dabi, Stain and Overhaul are my favourite villains of the series, even over both Shigaraki and AFO

[@tmakster7748]

Dabi was always one of my favorite villains in my hero. Glad he is getting more recognition

[@demkadeem]

I think his voice was changed because his vocal cords were grafted on as well, not because of puberty.

[@TheEphemeralEternity]

So dabi is this world's equuvalent of the joker. Psychotic, chaotic, discarded, and deformed. The main difference (aside from the powers) is that this unhinged individual does not have the nihilistic self awareness that joker has; while joker thinks everything is meaningless outside of the person serving as his ideological counterbalance, dabi desperately sought meaning after having it torn away from him. Feeling like he was discarded and replaced so easily, became a living corpse being forced to live by his own burning desire for vengence. I think the moment he really became the dabi we know now, was when he went back and saw todoroki being trained the same way as if nothing happened. He lived to be a "failure" and "died" for nothing. It might be petty to take it out on todoroki, but he lost 3 years of his life and his younger brother is Endevaor's pride and joy...he is still a mentally damaged child in terms of maturity, his tantrums and cries for approval just happen to invoke the endless infernos of hell.

[@notacultist7488]

Imagine if Afo gave something like a regeneration quirk to Dabi, they'd be even more screwed
