[@drinnieadair8]

Can I also point out 3 things: 1.) How Dabi admired Stain- someone who hated heroes who didn’t deserve the title. If your dad is the number 2 hero and beat/ignored his children, I think it’s pretty safe to say you’d follow someone like that. 2.) People who were beaten/ignored as a child are more likely to be psychopaths. That would also make sense for Dabi. 3.) Shoto is heavily based on Zuko from Avatar. Zuko has an older sister with blue flames who left and became a villain. Maybe it’s the same in this case?

[@Sifudin]

Horikoshi, the writer said he has never seen any ATLA episode prior to writing Shoto.

[@bigwilly3097]

For your second point you mention Dabi being a psychopath. This isn’t the case as psychopaths are born with no sense of sympathy. He would be a sociopath which is someone who develops this trait from being abused, bullied, raped etc...

One think I also noticed is Dabi's age. if there was about 2 years in between the birth of each child that would make Touya 11 when Shoto was 5, and since Shoto is 15 that would make Touya 21, and according to the BNHA Wikia Dabi is in his 20s. Coincidence? I think not

[@theunicorn1167]

Tododeku Fan 947 I noticed this too, but your mathematic is wrong. Since Touya is the oldest brother, if we go with the theory he is Dabi, he is in his early twenties. To this point you‘re right. _But_ you forgot the other siblings. Since we see Touya in one shot from behind, we see that he‘s not that much older. Maybe one year. The kids in there look about 9-13. Which would actually make sense, because the age difference between Natsuo and Fuyumi is 3 years. Let‘s say Fuyumi was in this shot 12. Through the length of pregnancy and everything, Touya/Dabi can only be a year older. So let’s say he was 13 in this shot. Little baby Todo is about 5-6 in this shot, not too old. So the age difference between Touya and Shoto would be, If I‘m right, 7-8 years. Good. So we have the age difference. Shoto is 15 now. 15 + 7/8 = 23/24 So Dabi could only be 23 or 24, which would make sense since he is, as you said, in his early twenties. 25 would already be his mid-twenties and everything above would be his late twenties. *_BUT WHY CAN HE ONLY BE 23/24 YOU ASK?_* Well, the answer is simple. Fuyumi is 22, and since he is the oldest, he could never be 21. Sidenote: You can‘t just make random age differences, when the ages of all the other siblings is given. Shoto is 15, Natsuo 19 and Fuyumi 22. You could easily just go to BNHA Wikia and search them. Good luck.

Before I watch this, it's really obvious that dabi is touya: 1. He has Shotos blue eyes 2. He isn't all that evil cause he is still going by stains law of only killing fake heroes which means he still believes in some heroes and is anti. 3. He knew endeavours name and talked to him like he knew him on a personal level. 4. Endeavours kid had the same blue flames(most obvious sign) 5. When he was introduced to the league of villains he said "for now I go by the name dabi" indicating that he changed his name which also means he is trying to hide his identity via why he dyed his hair black 🤷‍♂️

[@pcrassen4975]

Yeah he was having a heatstroke form the backlash of his quirk, was profusely bleeding from one eye, that had a gigantic scar across it so that eye was likely not exaclty usable there, was on the verge of passing out, and Dabi himself also raised a wall of fire around them, which due to how his flames are, have intense heat, which would also contribute to blurring due to the sheer heat alone. I dont think Enji was able to really focus on assessing the person in front of him at the time.

[@Kirito843]

Also at the same time, Touya (possibly Dabi) might've hated Endeavor so much that he didn't want anything remotely similar to him, so he dyed his hair black, to distinguish himself from the Todoroki family

[@johnboykins4070]

The manga has been really trying to prevent Endeavor from meeting Dabi at all cost which seems strange to me. Like for example in the hideout raid arc, All the heroes broke in to the League of Villians hideout(where Dabi was as well) and fought them except Endeavor for some reason were he was told to take guard outside. Also in future chapters, When Endeavor encountered Dabi, his vision was blurred because he was having a heatstroke from the backlash of his quirk, and he profusely bled from one eye that had a gigantic scar across it making him not able to see well. Also, Dabi raised a wall of fire around them, which due to how his flames are with intense heat would contribute to the blurring of Endeavor’s vision. Therefore, I don’t think Endeavor was able to really focus on the person in front of him who was Dabi at the time causing him to no recognize Dabi.

In the manga, Dabi knows Hawks real name, which surprises Hawks. Hawks was saved by Endevourer so it is possible that Dabi figured Hawks real name through Endvourer who might have mentioned saving a kid to his kid's. This could mean that Dabi figured out Hawks real name when he still went as Touya

[@BEMedits]

I’m pretty sure Dabi and Hawks knew each other when they were kids didn’t they?

[@emmyrxse]

Don't forget that Dabi was really defensive when asked for his name and that during the hideout raid arc, Gran Torino said every villain's real name except for Dabi's. It is possible that he didn't say Dabi's name because he had not committed any flashy crimes or he might want to keep the fact that the son of the formally number 2 and now number 1 hero is in the league of villains.

Actually Enji stated the fact that his Fire Quirk Hell Flame actually hurt him, if he use it too much, or make it too hot He is getting rly strong fever, burns and his brain is overheating - just like Kaminari XD And its not like Enji didnt recognize Toya/Dabi cause he didnt care about him.

[@RickyUzumaki993]

Agita Indeed

[@theunicorn1167]

That‘s exactly why he wanted to marry Rei. Because then, one of his „creations“ could cool himself down with the ice powers while they can use their firepower. (Shoto had this power. When he uses both of his quirks, he can use them without any limit. He just doesn‘t do it.)

[@RickyUzumaki993]

The Unicorn It’s not just cooling down. Enji married Rei with the intention of producing a child with a Quirk whose potential drwarfed his own. A child with the potential to surpass All Might.

[@pcrassen4975]

@@RickyUzumaki993 Thats what he/she means though. Having a perfect hybrid quirk of ice and fire would completely negate the kickback of both quirks. If Shoto uses his ice too much he starts getting frostbite, and would likely die of hypothermia if he goes too far with it. His fire, the same as Enji's. If he goes overboard, his organs and brain overheat. He gets a heat stroke. He did do it once in the manga already. Abandoned his ice side for a fight and raised his flames as strong as he could. He passed out from the heat. But with having access to both, he can negate the drawback of both sides completely. Shoto has the perfectly unlimited quirk. Once he learns to use both sides at the same time efficiently, he can freely use either, without any limit, likely producing blue flames without ANY danger to himself, due to his ice cancelling out the heat within his body, and probably make even greater ice attacks than he already has. We see that he almost completely freezes over when he unleashes giant ice attacks. If his flames are on at the same time he does that that wont happen. HE can just keep going. Someone whose quirk has absolutely 0 limits, has the potential to completely overtake All Might.

Dabi gives a grin._ "I'm your worst nightmare, Shouto." _He says, activating his quirk once more, as Todoroki does the same with his fire._ _Todoroki's flames started to turn blue, as Dabi's eyes widen, then grin._ "I cannot let you become a 'fake hero.' All I want is peace in this world... and I know you do too." _Dabi restrains himself, ready for Todoroki to make it to him._ *Todoroki finally notices the similarities between quirks.. everyone doesn't have very much similar quirks.. do they?* "WHO ARE YOU?!" _Todoroki finally uses his quirk on Dabi, as Dabi does the same, their flames just having a brawl._ "Brother, don't act like you don't know so." *_End of Chapter 312_*

If look at Shoto’s face closely when Dabi calls him by his full name Shoto is very surprised for either 1 or 2 reasons. Reason 1: He’s like how does he know my full name?! Reason 2: He recognizes the voice or when he is very close to Dabi’s face he recognizes his face or scar placing.

No one calls him Shoto except for his family. To call someone by their first name is very personal in the Japanese culture. Midoriya calls Bakugo 'Kaa Chan' which shows they have known each other for a while and have a friendship (of some sorts!) but he still doesn't call him by his first name fully. For me that was also a big indicator that Dabi could be a Todoroki

My theory is that shoto was getting abused by his father like in that scene where he had thrown up all over the floor cause Endeaver punched, and dabi came and stood up for him. In the end, his father burned dabi alive with his flames but dabi managed to escape. So basicly what i am saying is that he might be doing it so that he could protect his younger siblings from Endeavor. Now he has hates Endeavor and works in the shadows to take revenge upon him.
