Here’s how such an encounter might play out under different contexts:
🔹 Emotional & Family Angle
Rei, who treasures family above all else, would likely look at Geten not as a villain, but as family she has long been separated from. She might feel a sense of guilt knowing the Himura lineage produced both herself—a victim of Enji’s abusive marriage—and Geten, who internalized a worldview revolving around power hierarchy and strength.
She would probably try to appeal to the human side beneath Geten’s devotion to the Liberation Army, emphasizing compassion and choice. Much like she told Shoto that he wasn’t bound by his father’s blood, Rei might tell Geten that he isn’t bound by the Liberation Army’s ideology.
🗨️ “We bear the same name, the same cold in our veins… but that doesn’t mean we must freeze ourselves away from family, or from warmth.”
This sets up a beautiful contrast: Rei’s ice as a symbol of comfort, protection, and healing, versus Geten’s ice as a force of destruction and domination.
🔹 Ideological Conflict
Geten is deeply entrenched in the idea that strength equals worth. He’d likely scoff at Rei’s compassion, calling it weakness. To him, Rei’s submissive marriage and mental breakdown might appear as proof that people who rely on emotions instead of sheer power are doomed.
Rei, however, has endured tremendous suffering and still finds the strength to forgive and protect her family. This could serve as a quiet rebuttal to Geten’s worldview: true strength lies in enduring pain and choosing to love in spite of it.
Their conversation could echo the Todoroki family drama: Rei confronting someone who mirrors what Shoto could have become if he had let bitterness rule him.
🔹 Battle Potential
If a fight were to break out, Geten’s Ice Ply (unrivaled ice manipulation) would initially overwhelm Rei, who never trained her Quirk for combat. But Rei could still strategically use her Frost to protect others or to cut through his ice waves with precise counter-cooling.
However, Rei’s role in such a conflict wouldn’t be about overpowering Geten—it would be about reaching him emotionally while resisting him physically. She might stall his attacks long enough for Shoto, or even Endeavor, to intervene.
🔹 Possible Outcomes
Tragic Tension – Rei fails to get through to him, reinforcing Geten’s ideology that love and weakness are meaningless. He continues down his destructive path.
Emotional Breakthrough – Hearing from a family member he’s never known softens Geten. Even if he doesn’t fully “switch sides,” he starts questioning his doctrine of power-above-all.
Mirror for the Todorokis – Rei’s confrontation with Geten could act as a parallel to the Todoroki family’s struggle: a reminder that family can go separate ways based on how they process pain—bitterness vs. compassion.
✨ In short: A Rei–Geten meeting would highlight the themes of bloodline vs. choice in My Hero Academia. Rei embodies quiet resilience and forgiveness, while Geten embodies obsession with strength and bloodline heritage. Their encounter would be less about “hero vs. villain” and more a clash of ideologies within the same family tree.
