I am expecting a great fight with Dabi and Shoto and I think that Dabi will be 'saved' by Shoto. That would not be cool since I want Dabi to remain villain, but Shoto will try to make him understand himself and try to save him.
I am excited to find out more of Dabi's past
The chapter begins with the gorilla cop going to Doctor Garaki's cell
The old man is talking to himself, saying that they have spent a long time looking for seeds to cultivate
Seeds that nurtured a hatred towards society and that could become receptacles for All for One
We see a page showing Dabi and Shouto and then cut to flashback
Touya is burning on Mount Sekoto in despair, saying that he doesn't want to die and that he still needs to show Endeavor what he is capable of
Just as he is practically charred, a man in a suit and hat, who appears to be All for One, emerges from the flames
On the next page, Touya gets up from his bed in a mysterious facility, decorated with various childish decorations
As soon as he awakens, several children notice his presence and become excited, saying that the sleeper has finally woken up after 3 years
When he tries to say something, he notices that his voice is different
The children call the doctor and we are introduced to a bizarre figure with a sunflower face
Touya asks him to let him out and the doctor refuses, saying that from now on he will live there with his new family
Touya cannot accept this, because he has said many horrible things to his family and his father must be worried about him
Just then, a voice comes out of a monitor and informs the boy that none of this will be possible, because restoring his body was too difficult
The missing parts have been patched up using other people as a base, so he will no longer be able to use the full power of his flames
They would have liked to recruit him at the peak of his potential, but he turned out to be a failure
Hearing these words he remembers what Endeavor used to say and despairs
However, the voice says that they might be able to revert his body to its former state if he stays there with them for a while and becomes part of the family
Touya tells him to shut up and says that he doesn't want anyone to teach him anything
We see Garaki in present time saying that it was already too late to convince him, not even an all-controlling man like All for One could undo the impact Endeavor had caused on the boy's head
They were keeping several children as replacements in case something happened to Shigaraki and Dabi was supposed to be one of them, but he burned down the facility and ran away
The gorilla cop is confused by the fact that all this was an AFO plan, but the doctor says that they should be careful because that boy survived in some way beyond their knowledge, since his body in that state shouldn't even last a month
Garaki says he was surprised when Giran brought Dabi to the League, and when Dabi went to get the High-End Noumu and the two were alone, he comments that he knows it was the doctor who saved him from death
The doctor is happy that he realized this and asks how he survived, but Dabi ignores him and says that by looking at the Noumu, he finally understood what they intended to do to him if he had agreed to stay there with the other children
Then the doctor says that he told him that he managed to avoid death through his flames of hatred and resentment
Cut back to the fight and Touya says that he has indeed gone back home
As his body was weaker, he had already given up on meeting Endeavor's expectations, but he still hoped that the family environment had changed after these 3 years
But when he arrived at the house, he saw his funeral altar and the infernal training to which Endeavor subjected Shouto
He realized that he was indeed a defective product and his entire existence was already left in the past
Dabi says that as he exceeded his body's limits, his body started to become disfigured
He didn't want to meet Endeavor again weak like that, so he kept training his flames, and even though his skin burned, he felt no pain from the surgeries that were done on him
The more he saw Endeavor on TV, the more his hatred grew and the more he took inspiration on his techniques
We see a flashback of him praying at the altar in the Todoroki household and he says that at that moment Touya died and in his place Dabi was born
The doctor says that fire is an energy source that gives life to things and allows many others to function
However, Dabi's flames exist only to bring death, and this is not compatible with All for One, who longs to live forever
What follows is an impressive page of Dabi melting the top of the All Might statue while Garaki says that these are the "deadly, obsessive Flames that have escaped the reach of the King of Demons
" The Todoroki brothers prepare to use Flashfire Fist at the same time
Dabi says he's going to destroy everything important to Endeavor and this will be the proof that he's alive, but Shouto says he won't let his stupid brother do as he pleases
Wow very interesting chapter, finally the final pieces of Dabis past are revealed and it was AFO who saved him too, with Garakis help! Makes sense and very obvious in hindsight now lmao.
I like Hori explained a lot here including what they wanted with child Dabi, why he ran away, the Shigaraki and Nomu references etc.
The panels with Dabi look tremendous and absolutely horrifying too as expected too! I'm really loving this new info and direction, this seems like a very interesting chapter but that's a given for any Dabi fans send or anyone invested in the Todorokis and their storyline ofc.
Feels like it lol. Though he feels more like Zuko to me who is a villain and fighting his younger more talented sibling Shoto (heroic version of Azula) in an attempt to push his father Endeavor (heroic version of Ozai) off his throne and conquer Japan (uhmโฆthe Fire Nation).
