Okay so there's way more discourse on this video than I thought there'd be so let me just talk a little bit on my take of the whole Todoroki family situation. Hopefully this clears things up and I'm more than happy to discuss this stuff with you guys. So first of all, all four of the Todoroki kids were abused. This isn't really up for debate. Just because Natsuo, Fuyumi, and Touya weren't slapped around like Shoto doesn't mean they didn't endure neglect and emotional abuse from Endeavor. Fuyumi is seen in a panel holding Natsuo close and holding her hand on his ear to try and keep him from hearing Rei and Enji fight. She tried to distract Touya from training his quirk and getting worse by getting him to come play outside with her and Natsuo and even tried telling him when she was just a toddler that she didn't like when Touya got hurt (which, yes, Touya responded with "girls wouldn't understand" but that doesn't mean he's a misogynist. Kids are very opinionated when it comes to boys vs girls and Touya had a big powerful man in his life who he looked up to so obviously when he was little he would think that boys are stronger, not to mention how passive his own mother is in their childhood). Fuyumi wants a happy family. I was psychologically and emotionally abused as a kid. I was protective over my little brother. Yes, I did hope that my parents would stay together and we'd be happy but life doesn't turn out that way. She's not an abuse apologist to see Endeavor actually trying to be a better dad (which in the manga, he is, even though I know I personally wouldn't be able to forgive him) and wanting her brothers to forgive and forget. That's easy for some people but very difficult for others. Touya was abused. He was told he could be something only to find out that he couldn't no matter how hard he tried. And he TRIED. Enji told him how powerful his fire was and that he could be the number one hero, surpassing Endeavor himself. So when Endeavor found out that Touya's quirk hurt him, he just stopped training him, thinking the kid would get the hint. Touya had it in his mind that he was born to be a hero so if he can't, why was he even born? So when he was continually yelled at for using his quirk and ignored once Shoto was born, any kid would become hateful and resentful. But a sad backstory and bad childhood doesn't excuse him becoming a villain. Which comes to this video I made. Endeavor's past absolutely should've been brought to light. But to the authorities, not to the entire world out of the blue. Endeavor deserved to be exposed. Hands down. But the way Dabi did it brings all his siblings down with Endeavor. Which, in Dabi's currently twisted mind, is a good thing. Fuyumi wants a happy family. They were starting to heal. They'd mourned Touya's death years ago. And now Touya is back, as a villain who's murdered countless people and exposed their family issue to the entire public. Shoto wants to be a hero who makes people feel at ease and now he'll forever be known as a villain's younger brother and the victim of child abuse under a top hero. I made this video through Fuyumi's perspective. She has a right to be mad at her brother for faking his death and running away while the family still suffered only to resurface now to bring the family back into ruin. And Dabi has a right to see the man who brought him into this world to see his life crumble. But Natsuo and Shoto shouldn't have to suffer more. It's a complicated issue and I understand every side but please don't call me or anyone else here abuse apologists and also please don't think it's okay to devote your life to revenge and be a bad person just because you were abused. Thanks for reading this (if you even did lol, it's so long sorry)

[@sharlizarina1895]

I think it hurts more the way Fuyumi said those words to Touya when you realize that Touya had sent a villain to kidnap Natsuo and had physically burned and hurt Shoto. So it's not just what Touya did to Endeavor. It's what he did to Natsuo and Shoto, lashing out and hurting them in his path of destruction.

[@zya41]

He even wanted and plotted to kill shoto.

[@pcrassen4975]

Yep. His plan A was to kill his little brother as soon as he became an established hero just to hurt his *father*. Dabi is beyond saving rn, in his twisted mind anything goes just to get back at his father, even killing his own siblings. Even during the reveal chapter as he was struggling with Shoto, he absolutely looked like someone who was more than happy to end it all right there, his own life alongside Shoto's, right in front of Enji's eyes. If Enji hadn't passed out I think Toya would've gone for the suicide kill on himself and his brother, cementing Enji's image as the broken man who abused his family until one of his sons killed their brother alongside himself. There will not be a redemption for Toya Imo. The best ending I can see for him is either death, or losing his quirk and being locked into a mental ward and MAYBE with the help of doctors try to chip away at his insanity a bit. Enji was a horrible person and a horrible father, but he wasn't insane and in his job he was the top hero who did save countless lives, the sad irony is just that he wasn't a hero to his family. Touya on the other hand killed dozens of people, dozens of *innocents*, and tried killing his brother on multiple accounts. Enji is a past abuser. Touya is a terrorist. Abuse hits closer to home for everyone, but Touya, regardless of what drove him to insanity and his villainy, is the bigger monster in the end. Which is also a sad irony. Touya was a creation of his upbringing yes, however as an adult his choices are his own. He chose to take revenge on his father by becoming a villain, a terrorist. He wants to bring his dad and family down, but in the process he became *worse than his father*. If we could give him a few moments of sanity, I'd have one question for him. "Was it truly worth it?". I def think that it's also a low key cautionary tale. You don't have to forgive your abuser even if they HAVE changed. Natsu isn't forgiving him. But he focuses his trauma and his experience into helping other people even without becoming a hero, so is Fuyumi. Healthcare and Teaching respectively, they both chose their fields so they can help others because they couldn't help their brother and mother as kids. Touya? Touya chose murder. Touya is the tale that even if you can't forgive your abuser no matter how much they change, if you are not careful you can still end up destroying yourself. You can hate your abuser. You can not forgive them. Those are all valid. You can even go to the authorities to get their due charge. But Touya did none of that. Touya instead destroyed his body, his mind, and his family's life along countless other families' lives, just to get back at one person. He isn't in the right. Touya is the example that past trauma can only explain your behaviour. It never justifies it.

I'm sorry I'm sure she's a good person but as an older sister I cannot agree with how she continues to defend that asshole. He traumatized her siblings and for me my siblings come first, if my father ever treated them that way he would never hear the end of it from me till I moved out.

[@calipupcorn3886]

@@literaltrash5421 yes. Fuyumi did ask for Natsu and Shoto to forgive Endeavor. She didn’t force them. She knows what happened. She wants to give Endeavor a chance. Even Rei was willing to accept Endeavor’s apology. If you noticed she regrets not being their for Touya. She lets her brothers be their own people. Whether they can accept Endeavor back into their lives. All she wants is her family together. She is the only Todoroki willing to notice that Endeavor is changing. He is communicating with people. Trying to make amends with his sons. Natsu still doesn’t fully accept him. Shoto is allowing to work with his dad for the sake of being a hero. Endeavor takes the hate and has accept that he was a hero that made his son a villain. The hero society doesn’t know if they want to trust Endeavor and the rest of the heros because of the corruption It is not us the readers the place to accept Endeavor. The readers can hate him all they want, but we all need to realize Endeavor is changing. We all can’t continue to live in the past. Endeavor is a great example of a god awful human becoming a better person. Change is good and this is the change society in the BNHA universe and our society needs.

[@alexandraguardian9840]

@@calipupcorn3886 I think that it is pretty stated by the author, Deku and Endeavor himself that neither of his children or wife should forgive him at all. There were even in-universe reporters who realized that his horrible actions (and other heroes') caused the horrible villains and that he should receive punishment after the current emergency is completed. Fuck, the reason he even changed was that he received support, something Touya never received and resulted in Dabi.

[@more_s4855]

Now seeing this again, wen Fuyumi said "MY brothers" that have to hurt but is the true. Touya tried to kill Shoto many times and Shoto was really close to his death more than one time for his fault. And that is only the half of the things what he did to his younger sibilings. So Fuyumi has her rigth to call Natsuo and Shoto MY brothers and no OUR brothers.

[@tsutomumybeloved7411]

I’m in love with the fact that the subtle emphasis Fuyumi continuously puts into her words is her saying _”my_ brothers”, implying the fact she not only doesn’t consider Dabi her brother anymore but that none of them are Dabi’s family anymore either

[@fun2baround791]

[@lisamartin9831]

That's what abusing your children and wife would do to them. Well, not necessarily turning them into criminals, but giving them trauma for a lonnnng time.

[@lola-simp7563]

Let's be honest, Fuyumi should be recognized as a strong female character. She lived throughout that horrifying childhood trying to help her brothers, only to find out that the eldest passed away. She is literally the only person holding the family image together and she never once complained because she wanted her brothers to be happy. She has a heart of gold if she is willing to give her father a chance and then Dabi comes and basically ruins everything she tried to do to build their family and hold the image.

[@pcrassen4975]

100! she's best girl. Also she went into teaching for similar reasons as Natsu went into medicine. They both feel responsible for not being able to help Shoto and their mother, so they gravitated towards fields that allow them to make a difference and help others. Fuyumi would be able to recognize signs of abuse on the kids she teaches, so she would def be able to intervene in ways that no one could interfere for them. Many people focus on her trying to get Natsuo to come to the family gatherings even when he doesn't want to and that is partially true. But even she said it outright that she DOES feel like Natsu as well. However she gets that it would probably be more helpful if they tried to heal instead of just pretending that nothing is wrong. That takes pushing her own emotions down too. Enji is extremely grateful for her too, never stopping thanking her for her efforts. He def wouldn't be anywhere without her help and he recognizes that. But it is truly sad. Enji gave them the space they needed, Rei got discharged from the hospital, things were finally looking up... and then Touya bursts in the door dancing and setting the family on fire again both figuratively and literally. On the other hand it forced Rei and Enji to face each other and Mama Todoroki dropped the other half of the stories finally. Even admitting that she herself wasn't innocent in creating Dabi. I def look forward to more Todoroki family interactions, especially Enji and Rei. I def think they should divorce and MAYBE after a long time they could fall in love for real this time, a loooooong time from now. But she def gives off the vibes of being the ice to Enji's flame. In their interaction she was cool and collected, as well as straightforward. It def reminded me of Shoto a bit. Enji is the roaring flame in all meanings. Rei by his side would def be something that tempers him in an ideal world.

[@foreversobbing_]

Honestly must’ve been hardest for Fuyumi and Natsuo since they were the closest with Dabi too

[@safidraws]

Honestly I kind of dispise her writing actually. Fuyumi is the second oldest, she is the most aware of their father's abuse, she thought she lost her older brother because of him, yet it's her who is playing fixer, it's her who tries to get her siblings to give their father another chance. She is so blinded by the idea that they could be a normal family that she doesn't want to accept the fact that there is nothing to fix here. Which could have been a compelling angle to explore with here but instead they just keep her in that static place. I really don't like the Todoroki family plot and how they are handling Endeavor's past abuse. It feels very wishy washy. I admire the attempt at writing a emotionally complex abuser but Endeavor just falls flat on his face in my opinion in that regard and I can't help shaking my head at Fuyumi and their mom. It feels very purposeful that the female members of the family are portrayed as forgiving and willing to give the abuser another chance while the male members of the family are allowed to have negative emotions about their abuse and hold a grudge against their abuser and it leaves a a very bitter taste in my mouth.

[@emmawiley2452]

The face he makes when she first starts speaking (the looking over to the side) makes him look like a pouting and petulant little child and I am FULLY convinced this is the animatic of “Fuyumi gets angry cause her brother is throwing a homicidal tantrum”- like Touya calm down just let go there’s no need to murder

The fact that people dismiss Fuyumi and Natsuo for not being physically hurt is something that I hate. They still had to live through that, and they are not "fine". This is also really powerful considering how Fuyumi is still there (in the manga and anime), in her father's house just to try and keep her family together

[@milio-cutie]

Physically hurt is much different from being mentally hurt, physically scars can always heal (even if it takes a long time) but mental it can never fully heal, there's always somewhere in your head remiding you about things that were said or that you heard

Tfw I actually cried. Fuyumi is how you write a strong female character, they don’t need to be groundbreaking or making a revolution but she works to build and fix, she devoted her life to helping people the best way she could and has shown strength in her resilience. She’s strong in the way that allows young girls to see that you don’t need to be revolutionary to change someone’s life and honestly in all the ways that I think horikoshi has failed in writing strength in all the other female characters.

[@hellothere10yearsago97]

[@gurengamer9053]

I saw many fanfics and comments, those describing Fuyumi as denying loonatic. But seriously - ever as a child she tried to be there for her family. Maybe it was often small things, but she played with Touya to cheer him up, comforted scarried Natsuo, took care about youngers and Rei in the hospital. Who know if things in family wouldn't get worse without Fuyumi? Dabi/Touya was and is still too much concerned about his own and only pain. He wasn't show to make any attempt to ease situation to anyone in family. He's disclosure/revelation made things only worse for his family- like in "Hamilton" song. So thanks for more appreciation for Fuyumi Todoroki!

[@kauzuzeon6109]

I just know when Touya said "it was an act of political sacrifice" Fuyumi was trying so hard not to beat the shit out of Touya right then and there since she had to give up so many opportunities she could've had just to provide a somewhat safe place for Natsuo and Shoto. As a younger sibbling, I never really understood the burden my older brother had or well I had an idea but this really shows how being the oldest is one hell of a burden. While I may not see eye to eye with my brother on alot of things, I couldn't bring myself to actually hate him because of how much he did for me in the past

[@theHelianthusCorps]

My views as childhood abuse survivor: It shouldn't be Fuyumi's job to clean up her father's and brother's messes (that's not the best wording but) She shouldn't have had to parent her younger siblings. Your in-depth description literally hits the nail on the head. Just because you were hurt doesn't give you the right to hurt others. Toya desperately needs to hear that and I'm so glad you chose Fuyumi as the one to deliver it❤️

[@cataclysmic_plagg]

you’re right that it isn’t her job to fix her family. but she chose to for her brothers tbh I would have done the same if I was in her situation because I learned from my mother that if anything happens to them (my parents) as the oldest child I would be responsible of my little brother who’s still a minor while also being there for my other brother who’s an adult like me. Both fuyumi and I have to be strong willed mentally and physically to move forward instead of being stuck in the past and help out if that choice is an option.

[@theHelianthusCorps]

@@cataclysmic_plagg yes, I feel the same way. As the eldest, I also would take up that position in a heartbeat if my brother needed me to, protecting him is practically ingrained in my DNA. I think "it shouldn't have been *forced* on her" is better wording. Especially since I believe she was still a teenager when her mom was admitted to the psych ward (I'd have to double-check that).

Okay so i get that this is supposed to be a serious animatic, but i can't stop laughing about how at the end fuyumi just kinda yeets dabi onto the ground, it gets me every time 🤣😅 (also, "I prayed for you to rest in peace, You refused to" is kinda funny)

[@Sinnk_]

THE ANIMATION WHEN SHE SHOOK HER HEAD AT "I'm not here for you..." Made my heart _SHATTER_ , SUBBED-

[@awkward-potato-gurl9441]

I'm crying😭 Like me and Fuyumi have so much in common..I know how it feels to take responsibility for your family..I'm not saying we have the same parents but.. Having to take care of your siblings is something I can relate too{😭😥}

[@bleep0bleep4]

From personal experience Fuyumi can beg for a normal family all she wants. Her family isn't normal, and she can't and shouldn't be trying to force everybody else to act like they don't hate Endeavor just because of her own desires. Just because it's understandable and realistic doesn't make it right. There's no misconception, people know what she's doing. They just don't agree.

[@astheticgacha4489]

Same I agree I don't hate touya I never will I understand him more than any other character in the show I actually kinda envy him a lot

[@MrSasunaru101]

100%

[@lisamartin9831]

Well yes, but her reaction is normal too. Their reactions to trauma are all legit tbh

[@crimsonsolaris2140]

Fuyumi finally snapping is what I live for.

[@kariissmol9172]

I don't think we take into account the damage the neglect, physical abuse and verbal abuse had on Touya. Like he said, he doesn't feel. Barely feels anything, if at all. Basically what Enji did to him and his siblings has broken his psyche to a point where he cannot think rationally anymore. His worldview is so far from reality because he didn't get help when he needed. So why am I saying this? Simple. I myself have been brought up in a home that is less than ideal. My parents were fighting for as long as I can remember. We have been through financial droughts a few times and my fathers occupation, Police officer, is also quite close to a hero. My father was screaming every day when he came home. Screaming at me, my sister, my mother... Now here I am. I am broken. Because I kinda understand where Touya is coming from, ya know?

[@THEPAST-NEVERDI3Z]

I'm so sorry you're going through that child :/

[@alexisacts5242]

The Hamilton fan and the MHA fan in me is quaking. I love this

[@leonie4282]

Ayo this fits soooo good and oh my god I just love how Fuyumi came in and completely chewed and spit him out, go girl!! Amazing art style as well it's very expressive and made the animation so frckn good.

[@AaronGrey2006]

I wasn’t expecting this to make me cry but it did.

[@qupid2589]

Bro I didn't even think about how people knowing what Endeavor did would impact Todo's reputation-

[@lisamartin9831]

their entire family will be seen as victims for a loong time.

[@hitchisanidol9651]

The POWER Fuyumi holds in this is amazing

[@orly2me]

You go big sister, protect those baby brothers! If they turned out as amazing as they did, its only bc she raised them that way.

[@dabitouyatodoroki5453]

Again touya is oldest sibling

[@aqualoe6137]

Ouch... She said "MY brothers"

[@closetotaku3239]

Fuuyumi is the strongest member of the todoroki family. I can relate to trying to keep a broken family together for the sake of the siblings and its not easy. She deserves more 👏❤

[@richieIT]

Lmao, i'd like to think that she is legit just singing to him and spent the days before this meeting preparing this song like how dabi danced during his reveal cause the Todoroki's are just that extra

[@Thatonebloowitch]

1:15 the head shake tho✨

[@Lemon_1724]

OMG IKR

[@sofiamartins6160]

When I tell you I started crying at "I want to be a hero" I'm-

[@ginamarieherzschlag5745]

Omg Same

[@violettepastel7198]

Touya/Dabi : It was an act of physical sacrifice ! Fuyumi : *So you have chosen death...*

[@razorwhipqueen8972]

Fuyumi, honney, that wasn't anything close to passive you just ripped his throat out lmao

[@fragmentedghost5391]

Fuyumi is the scariest member of the Todoroki family and you _cant_ change my mind

[@crowwwwwwwww]

She really is

[@gothic_ace2037]

Unfortunately for touya his mind is fried, literally. I read a thing where someone wrote about what they learned happens to the mental and physical aspects of burn victims. The fact he has survived 10 years to even remotely accomplish his goal is a miracle. He should have suffered massive organ failure many times over by now. It wouldnt be surprising if hes had a siezure at least once a day from the amount of shock his body goes through while burning. The amount of brain damage alone hes probably gone through. The man probably doesnt sleep, can probably barely eat. Hes got to be at least half blind from the damage to his eyes. I know its a world of supernatural abilities but this mans body is literally allergic to its own quirk. The only future i see for touya todoroki is one of two options 1. His body finally succumbs to the hell hes put it through 2. Shoto shanks him with a hunk of ice in their final fight..... This is only a light recap of all the stuff i read on their post..... He just wanted his dad to be proud of his existance.....

[@myahuske9229]

Oh shit

[@IzzysHawtTea]

DAYYUM

[@amber_liars8653]

ufff something tells me that you are excited for the release of the new manga chapter.

[@maddieimlach9443]

omg i didnt need to cry... but all of that makes sense shit

[@21_trashcans57]

why is this so accurate? i love it.

[@jackthejoke3298]

Fuyumi had enough of everything… I posted a post calling it “everyone’s BS” but I don’t want to be misunderstood. I know Endeavor did awful things, and that everyone was horrible… but that doesn’t mean that Fuyumi has to deal with everything… she tried so hard.

[@CameronVA]

The day fuyumi snaps is the day that the world ends

[@lilakibler2762]

I'm imagining a prison guard or police officer watching this all go down like 👀🍿

[@floreezejhiafrancia3596]

They be like : tf is this?🙃

[@Pinkyyskullzzz]

No bc this so true fuyumi sacrificed a lot for her siblings,she basically had to take the role of her mom and dad.I Kim her for much 😭 this is also a masterpiece love it!!!

[@PeaceWithinTheRain]

0:50 This right here spoke volumes for me, and it made me realise why Fuyumi has every right to be angry here. Fuyumi has done everything she can to mend her family from the harm her father caused, so her brothers could be happy, and so her mother could be healthy and happy again. She’s honestly been the glue holding them all together. And what Dabi did could very well destroy all that in one fell swoop. Not to mention tarnish their family name for years to come. Gone will be their chances of starting anew with this hanging over them. Fuyumi’s sacrificed more than Dabi ever could. But she did it for her family, not for revenge. Even then, you can tell in this song that she _wants_ to be happy to see her older brother again - but she can’t because there’s no taking back what he’s done.

[@addiesedg]

IM CRYING IN THE BREAKROOM AT WORK THANKS. THIS IS FANFUCKINGTASTIC

[@renmakesthings8106]

I had to watch this like three times in a row its so good!!! Fuyumi is one of my favorite characters to mess around with and I really wish I could find more fics and works about her and her struggle with the family (the best one I've found is called School Teacher/ Adrenaline Junkie on AO3 and I wasn't the biggest fan of the ending but the author is really good at working with complicated people like Enji) Lol nvm its been like 10 times now I just can't get over this and I almost want to write a fanfic based off of this

[@YukonYuki]

I started balling fr I started crying. I feel bad for fuyumi she had to deal with all this.

[@artteile7152]

What broke me was Shoto’s “I wanna be a hero”

[@marias5149]

SAME

[@concepcionjuarez-delgado2175]

I got chills. honestly reflects how I protect my sisters plural in terms of four and three brothers. Our siblings really are the best things in our lives

[@totallynotlillian7767]

Poor fuyumi she’s trying her hardest to keep the family together

[@sinnersnake5190]

I apologise, but I am currently laughing because of the way Fuyumi just dropped him

[@jiyu2cool]

yall cant deny. Fuyumi is the best sister in the world. 💖

[@Riceeeeeee]

1:16 thats a animatic TURNED INTO A BEAUTIFUL ANIMATION

[@leemixtl]

I come back to this like twice a year

[@aprilhamilton5418]

Aahhh one of my favourite Hamilton songs (Congratulations) and one of my favourite characters (Fuyumi) Y E S S I R

[@jothechildknight2929]

I WANT THIS TO HAPPEN IN THE MANGA & LATER GET ADAPTED IN THE ANIME

[@gay_todoroki302]

I have never, NEVER , felt so emotional, but this right here , has changed that . It was amazing . I'm literally crying. It's like I could feel what their feeling....100/10

[@natsuotodoroki]

Hell yeah Fuyumi! You have every right to go off!

[@shoto-todoroki.-.deku-simp-yep]

todoroki:HELLL YEAH

[@shoto-todoroki.-.deku-simp-yep]

Endeavor:.... Rei:YEAA

[@shoto-todoroki.-.deku-simp-yep]

todoroki:nousto we are goiing to kidnap HIM REI:YEAAAAAAAAAAAAaa

[@emppu1012]

Holy fuck...I got chills and have tears in my eyes. I don't like Enji and although I want him to be redeemed I know it will take a hell of a lot. But I'm extremely angry at Touya for what he did both to the society and the rest of his family, and that's why I resonate with this so much

[@daniemight371]

this is literally the best thing i’ve seen in a while. the art, the alteration of the lyrics so it still makes SENSE, the emotion, oh my god i cried.

[@3hpleft]

Fuyumi is an extremely underrated character and this shows exactly why.
