Thinking about Shouto's resolve to bring Touya home to eat noodles together gave me some food for thought (pun not intended).
Beyond the obvious symbolism of filling out the missing seats at dining table as a metaphor for fixing his broken family, I think there might be an added layer there, too.
Shouto doesn't have much of a frame of reference for normal sibling bonding activities. He was still a baby when Endvr forced him into isolation, and while his siblings played together, Shouto only ever looked at them from a distance, like an outsider.
This isn't told straightforwardly so it's up for interpretation, but I think Shouto had his meals served separately from them, too.
It's hinted at when Natsuo yells at Endvr for not giving them the chance to be a normal family and for keeping Shouto so isolated from them that Natsuo's only now learning that soba is Shouto's favourite food. This despite the fact that Shouto eats soba basically at every meal.
And then it comes up again during the tododinner miniarc, this time a little more clearly:
"Endvr probably didn't let you eat it."
Now, why would Natsuo not be sure if Shouto had gotten the chance to enjoy his food, and why would Shouto act surprised that he might've, if they all sat at the same table?
This is why I don't think they ever did. I mean, they likely did at some point, but that was before Touya attacked baby Shouto, anyway. They were too young to remember it.
If this is true, then I'm fairly sure that the first time Shouto had the chance to enjoy a meal with the two of them was in the aftermath of the High End attack in Kyushu. When Endvr was still hospitalized and thus out of the house.
As far as we know, that's also the first time Shouto is shown properly interacting with Natsuo. From the latter's reaction when their father interrupts them, I'm willing to bet it was their first prolonged conversation as well.
Building off this, if Natsuo didn't even know Shouto's favourite food until then, it's safe to assume they were basically strangers living under the same roof.
Why I'm bringing this up now? Well, my point here is that if we then reread Shouto's resolve to bring Touya back in light of this, it reads differently imho:
The callback is there. "I don't even know what Touya's favourite food is". Just like Natsuo didn't know his. And just like how Natsuo was determined to reconnect with him by slurping a bowl of soba together and chatting about trivial stuff, in spite of (or maybe even to prove a point to) Endvr, Shouto decides then that he wants to sit around a dinner table with his eldest brother as well and do the same.
It's not news that Shouto wants to "save" Touya not as some perceived moral duty as a hero but simply because he wants his big brother back. But we also already know that he sees his past self in Touya, so imho it's not too farfetched to think he sees a shadow of his own isolation as a child in Touya, too.
Of course, there are differences between them. Shouto was forced to stay away from his siblings. Touya was forced away for those three years of the coma as well, but then chose not to come back home.
But what Shouto sees is more simple: Endvr's ambition brought us apart, but our resolve to reconnect will bring us back together, because we're not bound by his will.
However, Shouto doesn't know his brothers. Touya is even more of a stranger to him than Natsuo, and he only got to know Natsuo better in the last four-ish months. Again, Shouto doesn't have much of a frame of reference when it comes to siblings bonding activities. But there is one constant in his interactions with them, and it's food. Even when he was still living in a "separate world" from them, he received and ate their cooking. After he broke free from that barrier, he met with them over and over around the dinner table, first by eating noodles with Natsu, then by inviting his friends over for dinner. They even attempted to cook together once, if we take into account the novels.
Now, food, and sharing meals in particular, is commonly used as a metaphor for connecting with people. But I think it's a nice touch that here it's kinda used as a string that brings Shouto closer and closer to his siblings, and it begins before their first lunch together. At first, their cooking was the sole thread that connected him to their world, the sole way for him to feel included in the family, so to speak. And now we see it actively become a bridge between them.
Cause at the end of the day, what Shouto had always wanted, at his core, was to be part of their whole, and not just an outsider. I'm def oversimplifying here, but Touya, too, is similarly written like an outsider, despite his different circumstances. His determination not to "quit" alienated him from all of them, to different degrees. Endvr actively avoided him, Rei couldn't look at him, Fuyumi didn't understand why he kept burning himself, and Natsuo struggled to bear the weight of being his sole confidante. Touya notably died alone (his mother couldn't stop him, and his father never showed up) and he's even more isolated now as an adult, refusing to admit he cares about the League, keeping secrets from them, being a lone wolf.
I think that to an extent Shouto does recognize Touya's isolation, and that he projects onto it, a bit.
Shouto doesn't know what siblings are supposed to do together. But when he thinks of Touya, of how lonely he must be in his path of revenge and hatred, he remembers what helped him break out of that mindset was opening up to people and forming bonds. He even tells Touya this. I was saved by my friends. But he's not Touya's friend. He's his brother. And what do brothers do?
They eat meals together, like Natsuo did with him. So he mirrors that, and extends that logic to his other estranged big bro.
Bringing Touya home is instrumental to more than just Touya's healing. It benefits the entire family by finally allowing them to be a whole. The noodles thing allows Shouto to finally be part of the activities of "Touya and the others" that he was denied in the past. It allows Fuyumi to cook for all of them, something that clearly brings her joy. It enables Natsuo to get to know Shouto and reconnect with Touya, whom he dearly missed, at the same time. It gives Rei a chance to heal, with more than just a photograph of her children to hold on to in a sterile, lonely hospital room. Heck, it even works with Enji, whose "biggest regret" supposedly is wrecking that family, and whose biggest hope for the future is to see them reunite around a meal again.
So yeah. If broken bonds, loneliness and isolation are the wrongs that needs fixing, food will act as a catalyst for their eventual togetherness.
Soba will be the real hero of this story, I guess.
