Especially when being quirkless isn’t that common? The doctor DUPLICATES quirks, he says it in the show. That’s why his position was such a clever idea. Being in the medical field and coming across people with quirks allowed him access to duplicating the quirks.

[@TheZapan99]

@@Matty13808 You've got it wrong. The doctor's quirk is Life Force, it slows down his aging process. At some point in the past, AFO took the doctor's original quirk to extend his own life, leaving him with only a duplicate. The ability to duplicate quirks for his research is listed under genius intellect, it is not a quirk. Being the chairman of Jaku hospital, the doctor had access to dead patients (it's implied he euthanized some of them) for his Nomu creation program. There is nothing to confirm or deny he stole Deku's potential quirk beyond his appearance as his pediatrician, it is just a fan theory at this point. Source : MHA wiki, Kyudai Garaki.

@Funt Nugget it's not at all the same thing. Nor is it semantics. When this is part of the narrative within the story. Both implied and stated by the character.

[@relic5752]

​@@FuntNuggetThe nuance is important here. It's not that Endeavor got his goal and changed for the better, it's that reaching the top by default and realizing not only how empty he was in doing so, but also realizing the weight All Might carried as a pillar of society caused him to look inward. Hell, two episodes back All Might outright says it: Endeavor had to focus on hindsight to see his flaws. You're focusing on the catalyst to his change and thus missing the forest for the trees.

Endeavor earned his second spot by putting in the work. Despite never beating All Might in the roster (most likely because of the popularity poll) it was said in one of the earlier episodes of the show that he had the highest rating in villain take downs which means higher than All Might’s. He got the job done. Was he an absolutely terrible father and in which made him a terrible person(at the time)?? Absolutely, however, that did NOT and tbh SHOULD NOT diminish the lives he’s saved and the villains he’s stopped. Most of the Top 10 heroes are in there from popularity. Heroes like BJ and that Wash hero don’t have the power level to take down so many top dog villains BUT they’re good with people and get a huge boost from the popularity poll. Endeavor made second being one of the most fearful and arrogant and rude and not very liked heroes out there, he was not carried by the popularity poll, he simply got the job done better than anyone else and made second place then first when All Might stepped down.

Hence, he wanted to ask All Might what it meant to be a symbol of peace and he told him to look at what he wanted to protect.

[@midoriya-shonen]

Yea, I get what you're saying about heroes and villains. I think the reason these villains get defended so much is because so many of them are direct victims/results of things heroes did. They're hurting and heroes did nothing to help them. Because heroes and mainstream society are basically the same thing, it's easy for some to see the villains as more of a rebellious army against an oppressive government than real villains. Like, the American Revolutionaries committed war crimes, but of course here in the US they're lauded as heroes against against the villainous British Empire. Plus, I've seen a lot of people who relate heavily to the real life traumas these villains have. Abuse and mental illness are unfortunately very common things and people connect their own emotions to those they see on the screen. They of course feel validated by that experience and want others to understand where they're coming from, I think. Now, I'm not a villain stan. I empathize with them deeply, but I'm not going to go on defending the things I do. This is just what I've noticed after half a decade in this fandom.

[@radioraheem9820]

Same, he's changed so much and it's a good read when you hear his entire story later on

[@TheZapan99]

Best thing about Endeavor is how much SJW readers hate him, Horikoshi keeps trolling them with his gruelling redemption arc, because all they want is to see him dead.

Dabi being Endeavor's son was as much surprising to me as the 4th Hokage was Naruto's dad. When the entire couch was screaming I thought they did that out of sarcasm. Can't believe they didn't see that coming.

[@az639]

I predicted the 4th being Naruto's dad in the first 2 episodes because of the picture of Minato they had on the wall. I still don't understand how people don't notice that while watching.

You guys are right that the villains are being somewhat hypocritical with their level of crimes. I think Dabi was just pointing out the hypocrisy of Endeavor being hailed as a hero in public, while in private he was a villain to his family. Dabi doesn’t deny or excuse that he’s done messed up shit himself. Only showed that he’s the product of abuse and neglect that his father carried out in secret. Similar to Shigaraki’s backstory. He believes heroes will “sacrifice” others for notoriety and call it heroism. That’s why he follows Stain’s ideology, because he believes Endeavor was a fake hero. Not saying he’s not a changed man, but in Dabi’s eyes the man who physically and mentally tormented his family shouldn’t have risen so high. Him being a decent dad is RECENT honestly. Hell, Endeavor was bullying Shoto at the tournament like six months ago or something.

The kid with pink hair is supposed to be a reference to Natsu from Fairy Tail, they even got his voice actor 😂

This is a wild episode but I can't wait for the next episode!!!

Attention weebs!! Dub>sub and always will be! Chris Sabat and the rest of this cast are absolutely amazing! No hate on the Japanese VA but it works so much better in my native language.

Even watching you guys react to this episode gave me mad chills

[@lexzeyfercronus]

I mean,between Dabi's interest in Endeavor,him sending a high end nomu to kill him back in season 4,the Endeavor internship arc, that season's ending and this season's opening,Dabi being Touya was heavily hinted at,hell im surprised anyone even got surprised by the reveal at all. That being said,it was an amazing episode and i wish Best Jeanist didnt interrumped Dabi's suicide prominence burn.

[@karimbaash8465]

Rana called this the very first time she saw him.

Did they notice that Shoto called Endeavor dad or were they just too overwhelmed with what was happening at that moment?

Bro chill, you are the worse viewer. Always worried about the dumbest s***, like you are some god viewer who catches every dialog and easter egg in everything they watch, first time without flaw.

“We need to lock her in her cell” did you not just listen to what she JUST said? All for one revealed previously quirks have an affect on personality yet you don’t correlate her fixation of blood is out of her control because of that quirk

[@devanshsingh6538]

Endeavour is the most misunderstood character 1. Dabi didn't had abusive childhood, to understand dabi equate him with the Tai Lung of kung fu panda 1, actually he had a perfect and most loving childhood, and his feelings toward endeavour is same as Tai lung had toward master shifu. 2. Endeavour neither forced marriage neither abused or forced his wife to bear kids, actually it was endeavour's wife idea to have more kids, all this idea of endeavour being abusive and only caring about his ambition comes from the shoto's perspective who suffered the most among the siblings, remember the middle siblings lived a wonderful life. 3. Endeavour wife was already in depression due to loss of Toya, thats why she blamed endeavour for lighting that thirst of becoming best hero which ultimately consumed Toya. 4. Once Endeavour saw shoto potential, he didn't wanted ir so at best he was super strict on him, its not uncommon for parents to fulfill their dream through their children, only one point where endeavour is wrong is he didnt talked, was more than strict, had no one to talk about Toya so constructed a boundary around himself, was suffering from constant inferiority complex from all might and had a rude outfront.

[@YourBuddyTom01]

I can’t wait for Marketa’s biased defense when Rei tells her story

[@spiro3142]

I mean if you’re just going to defend Endeavor and act like he did nothing wrong then just say it.

[@joefredlin5018]

Many people knew that dabi is Toya ( but they used to forget everything so i am not surprised that they never saw it coming ) but they executed this reveal in a good way that's what made it amazing

Favorite episode by far. The realness of the Todoroki family is easily the number 1 i've kept up with the series,

[@Crispifordthe3rd515]

Dabi's VA popped tf off this episode. Both sub and Dub. I honestly can't decide which I like. The Raspy hate filled goads of the Dub, or the insane giddy filled taunts of the Sub.

Dude Chris is always spitting facts! No matter how sympathetic a villain can be it’s important to remember that they are still doing bad things. You can’t use your pain to justify burning the world. Keep being awesome Normies!

Best Jeanist can control any kind of fibers or threads, it's never said what those cables are exactly, but my assumed head-canon is that they're threaded steel or carbon fiber.

[@Zdahszdahs]

Endeavour did try to change & succeeded in most aspects but due to his position & potential negative effect on the masses, he chose to move forward instead of revealing & atoning. Dabi is a villain & is not looking for sympathy really, even when he says he is. He wants to burn down everything Endeavour has built. Undoing all that was done while he believes he was cast aside. He called himself Stains true successor because he is the stain that Endeavour left on the world. He will continue to spread & dirty his father's legacy until the world decides to throw Endeavour away instead of cleaning it all up. Reveling in it every second of the way. Because the attention/focus is now back on him. Also don't forget they have all manipulated by AFO to different degrees. Both directly and indirectly. Impressionable kids that went very wrong, very early. They're villains but we sympathise because they could have been saved at one point.. If they weren't overlooked. Toga being the youngest, is shown to have that last straw moment in this episode. Something I think was intentionally aligned.

[@d.a._raindrops]

FINALLY OMFG I KEPT REFRESHING UR CHANNEL FOR THIS REACTION I love yall!!

[@sadeugas8037]

And even Endeavour hasn’t found a way to prevent his body from overheating which is why there probably isn’t a way for Dabi to not burn himself while using his quirk which is even hotter then Endeavour’s

[@psychgeekgirl3037]

All these MHA characters are developed. Which means there are positives and negatives to every character, and I always love the discussion the Normies have about all the characters, especially the different viewpoints. I don’t agree with everything y’all say, but I appreciate the discussion and appreciation for MHA and look forward to your reactions

So Best Jeanist controls “fibres” not just denim. Those rolls of cables are most likely Steel Fibers or Carbon Fibres or something like that.

Best Jeanist's quirk is called Fibre Master, which allows himtocontrol all fibres. Including Cables woven from mettalic fibres (shown here). Denin is simply the easiest for him to manipulate, and usually more accessible

[@venomousteam1732]

That guy with the pink hair that is listening to Toya's video, he has the same voice actor for Natsu Dragneel from Fairy Tail which caught my eye and I was like wait why is Natsu in My Hero 😂😂

[@TheZapan99]

Horikoshi confirmed the "Look Boy" is an homage to Natsu, because of course he would be the number one fan of the fire quirk hero.
